To answer some of the questions you left in the comment. I don’t know who’d I say is my favorite character wise, but in terms of story side of event’s. I thoroughly enjoyed Natsuno, tomi, yakisoba pan, miura, Ei & sekigahara’s routes. Honestly, I have never played any of previous Vanillaware’s works. I’ve known about them since the Wii days when they developed Murumasa the demon blade. I remember watching the game’s trailer via Nintendo’s downloadable application “Nintendo channel” on the Wii. That application showed me so many interesting titles and the ability to download game demo’s to play on the Nintendo DS in the comfort of your own home was something mind blowing at the time…sorry, getting off topic, nostalgia trip moment. XD Back to Murumasa… I always wanted to play that game. Was definitely fascinated by the art style and gameplay. unfortunately at the time, I never had a chance to buy many Wii games, I don’t think any of my local retailers mainly GameStop ever had copies of Murumasa either…so yeah. Anyways, 13 sentinels is the first game I’ve experienced from VW, and I gotta say, Vanillaware is without a doubt gaming studio that deserves so much recognition in the gaming industry. The talent behind this studio feels like no other imo. I am definitely looking forward to playing Unicorn Overlord….I still need to get my hands on a copy of GrimGrimore oncemore for the Switch. I absolutely loved 13 sentinels, definitely one of my favorite title I’ve experienced in gaming for the past decade, the story, visuals and gameplay deserves more recognition.

First of all, thank you for sharing your opinions and feelings! These kind of comments really motivate me to do more contents! 13 Sentinels might be Vanillaware's magnum opus yet, and just like you do, I also definitely looking forward to playing Unicorn Overlord. I love games like Final Fantasy Tactics, so Vanillaware's art style just makes everything better. I would also recommend Odin Sphere if you have PS4/PS5. Dragon's Crown is more like co-op beat'em up so not sure if you would like that.

They should make a dlc in another planet with Tsubasa, Tamao and an eighth girl also controllable I never understood why there weren't 16 of them What happened to Sentinels number 8, 9 and 16 In a battle there are 7 gladiators and the sentinels start from the 10th Nor because in the Sentinels they are naked but have glasses, tied hair and blindfolds Activators on the palm of the hand, shoulder and behind the neck are missing And what the adult Megumi would have become... I opt for a soldier given the hit and run in some stories

Thank you for this recommendation i am checking the game out right now as we speak!

the battle system was entertaining.

[@williamwang9154]

if only it was on pc

[@arcadenaut]

Yeah, I don't get why its not on PC

[@TheMoonPhoenix21]

This game looks like Evangelion but with too many people so it also triggers my Social Anxiety while turning me into a depressed mess

[@TheMoonPhoenix21]

Also since there are thirteen characters, each character is assumed to be the main cast so each of them is a tridecatagonist

[@arcadenaut]

We have groomers, sick, half-comatose girl...but we don't have a penguin in 13 Sentinels though.

[@arcadenaut]

Also what the hell is a tridecatagonist

[@TheMoonPhoenix21]

@@arcadenaut It's like a deuteragonist but instead of 2 the number is 13

[@TheMoonPhoenix21]

Also I made it the fuck up
