Regal Tails

  Fans of the Visual Novel genre will agree that the market has become oversaturated with titles that are more or less sub-par. Unfortunately, some of them show great potential as far as the art style goes, but they suffer when it comes to the story, or vice-versa. Regal Tails is a Visual Novel that suffers from neither, having a unique art style that will make any fan of the genre fall in love, while also presenting a story that affects not just the fate of your character, but of pretty much everyone else you come in contact as well.

The art style is the first thing you'll come to love as it abandons the traditional anime style for a more hand brush approach, with each character neatly designed to be memorable in their way. The action sequences are also drawn in a way that brings the game up to the standards of light novels written by professionals, making you feel and hear everything you see and read about.

Of course, such good action sequences could not be added if not for a worthy story, and that is another thing that Regal Tails has in great quantity. Although the story centers around Naja, you will gain the option of seeing the perspective of several characters within the war, and your relationships you make between each of them will make or break them at some point.

While a bit counter-intuitive, a Visual Novel that isn't for kids is not unheard off, but the scenes of blood, violence, and sexual interactions and the way they are described are not something that should be accessible to just about anyone. This is nothing more than another testament at how well designed the game is, as it does indeed leave you empty-hearted regardless of how you finish the story.

Regal Tails fearlessly delves into subjects rarely touched upon by other visual novels, choosing the more gruesome side of humanity (or in the case of the game, bestial behavior) instead of the cutesy sugar-coated drama you see in other Visual Novels. More so, if the story won't captivate you, the high-quality artwork definitely will.
