nem é um jogo mas eu achei muito legalzinho, 4.5 pela história de aquecer o coraçãozinho (btw eu "joguei" a versão de psp)

Se podrian haber ahorrado lo de ir moviendote por zonas y simplemente haberlo hecho una visual novel al 100%

Se me hizo cortisimo (porque es cortisimo el juego)

You could put Eva BGM over the most boring ahh shit and still have it be enjoyable, but they do spin a cute story here which I'd honestly have loved to see developed beyond the confines of being a pretty basic 3 hour VN here but alas. Specially enjoyed the choppily animated backgrounds like all the escalators in the NERV headquarters (I don't know why, they just ooze late 90s PC swag). I just wish I stayed put and didn't check the other endings I didn't initially pick because while one of them was fine, the other one had tits (they really couldn't help themselves huh) and the other other one (which wasn't even in the original version,afaik?) was just legit fucking dogshit.

Man, first time i heard this game was so cool to me, and playing now, no regrets, feels like a great movie about evangelion, i love it, i could understand that more than the entire series, but yeah, game is beautiful, the music, and the atmosphere, like the first half of eva and the goofy episodes that i love, i got the asuka route, so try and get other route, believe me, game is good.


Impressive that this feels so close to an episode of the show in its structure, but also it doesn't feel like it's really fits at all with in the story. Basically, it's exactly what you might expect the Evangelion VN to be like.

aii que legau *-* é tipo evangelion só que sem problema mental e trauma muinto bacana gostei :-D

ive been saying i would finish this vn for like a year now so im shelving it, really impressive, shinji falls for the most obvious trick ever

As a teenager first getting into anime with Evangelion, I was always so intrigued about this untranslated PC game that I would read about on forums but never get to play.

In reality, I shouldn't have been disappointed that I wouldn't get to play it. It's an extremely basic visual novel that's only about 2-3 hours in length and the ending is determined by a single multiple choice prompt right at the end. The writing is pretty generic VN romance fair, with the characters' personalities only having a vague similarity to their anime counterparts. It's as though the writing team had the characters and plot hurriedly described to them over the course of a short elevator ride and had to scrape together something without being allowed to actually watch the show.

Also, I'm not sure if this is only on the PSP version I played, but the game is permanently set to auto-play, so you can't pause or save until you reach one of the very few interactable scenes that amount to selecting a dialogue prompt or moving to a new location. This would have made it impossible to take an unplanned break if I hadn't been able to pause the emulator.

Girlfriend of Steel is short enough to maybe be worth looking at if you're particularly curious about a piece of internet anime nostalgia, but I couldn't really recommend it.
