Nights of Azure

released on Oct 01, 2015

The game is set on the imaginary island-kingdom of Ruswal, where nights are plagued by Azure-blooded demons. Although it is dangerous for humans to leave their homes after dark, the brave knights known as the Curia are trained to fend off the ever growing threat. Among them is Arnice, a warrior of great skill and the protagonist of Nights of Azure. While she’s skilled with a blade, her talents aren’t just a product of her training. Arnice has some demon blood herself and is actually the only human that has managed to touch azure blood and survive! This event hasn’t left her unscathed and its thrilling implications become apparent quite early on; among others, it allows her access to a set of impressive abilities including the power to summon monsters to her aid in battle.

Tbh this could be 1 star if it wasn’t for some tracks that I got to listen before quitting

This 3.5 star rating is more like a 3.75 star rating.

This game was just mindless fun and just what I needed. It may not, however, be just what YOU need.

This game is effectively Drakengard 3 but watered down in every aspect.

The combat is brain-dead, the characters are just a blank sheet of paper, I skipped pretty much all the story and dialogue but somehow I still had a decent amount of fun with this game, enough so to platinum this game on ps4.

Sometimes games don't have to be good to hit the spot. Sometimes all you need is a brain-dead game to run around in and fight hoards of enemies whilst you listen to a podcast.

I would NOT recommend this game, unless you already have playstation plus and can play it for free like I did. I imagine if I had spent actual money on this game my rating might be lower, but for already having ps+ and this being a free game, I really enjoyed my time with it - just go in to it knowing that it's pretty basic all around.

Where do I start with this? I don't want to give this game a video, but I'll need to talk about it in one to truly convey how absolutely dull it is. It says a LOT that I couldn't find a complete walkthrough for a 5 year old game.

Remember that Devil Summoner SMT game? Yeah well, like take that and combine it with Koei Tecmo and top it off with spicy lesbian seasoning and you've got this. Boring plot about your bouncy breasted friend being chosen as a sacrifice, there's two dumb guys, who I well I don't know because I skipped 90% of the dialog. Combat is loose, with no impact, might as well be scissoring these demons. Oh yeah, demons, uh they're not very interesting; there's one exception though, and that's the spider: he's cute AF and does a little dance, best thing about this game. Not worth checking out, kind of aims for a Persona vibe with it's music and tone but just faceplants cement. Just Go play Persona 5 Strikers, it's similar in gameplay and oozes style.

Despite it being a low budget affair, it definitely feels like the developers wrung every bit of quality out of it that they could.

I loved seeing Arnice and Lilysse exchane small gestures of affection throughout the game. Hugs from behind, a hand on the cheek, sharing a dance, holding hands, etc. Little actions that seem obvious for two people in love to do, but also something you don't see all that often in video games, right? Especially between two women protagonists!

Unfortunately, there are enough rough edges that I think hold the game back: The plot/characters are somewhat trope-y, the gameplay isn't all that compelling, and I was left unsatisfied by the ending(s).

But I'm glad I gave this game a shot, if for nothing else than to experience a sweet love story taking place at the end of the world.

Oh, and the soundtrack kicks ass.
