Mary Skelter 1 & 2 Nintendo Switch & PS4 Review

[@R3DGaming]

Check out my gameplay review for Mary Skelter Finale Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XUlHp5qsx5m5o

[@R3DGaming]

The whole point at 7:36 was to show you how scary and thrilling the monster was in the PS Vita version of the first game.

[@sketchyann609]

Does the English version of Mary skelter 2 have that extra menu part? The visual novel story?

[@R3DGaming]

Thanks for checking out the video. Please let me know your thoughts on the games down here in the comments.

Idea factory did a splendid job with the mary skelter series and death end request games, I hope we get a 3rd death end request

[@geromelobo5970]

Hello there, there will be a PC port release this Jan 13. I don't know if there's any difference, but keep it a try for PC users after over 2 years thanks to our EU distributor, Ghostlight.

[@leatherwolf7481]

I love your videos. Especially your reviews. Every time there’s a new anime game I know about(or don’t know about in some cases) you always point out details that everyone else always overlooks or chooses not mention outright. Can’t wait for more reviews you do on games.

[@R3DGaming]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I tried to be as detailed as possible; however, I think if I went on for too long, it would get boring. So, I just chose a few of my favorite gameplay elements. ^_^

[@nickwick35]

So many great JRPG's coming out lately. Can't wait to dive into this dungeon crawler masterpiece.

[@MBV97]

Just finished Mary Skelter Nightmares on Steam. It wasn't fantastic but not bad. Story wasn't really significant and game was pretty easy on normal. I just change 1 or 2 jobs on the first 5 characters and that's it. I use Alice's Paladin as a shield, 3 of my characters on support, Buff/debuff and magic attack and Cinderella as the main attacker with her job Destroyer. I wanted to use other characters but they weren't gaining the same exp as the one battling so leveling them up seemed like a hassle. That's my problem with the gameplay including that you would have to level 10 ups to be able to be able to get a job right. Other than that the game was okay. Though I wish there was some more character development. I'm not usually a dungeon crawler type of person but this game was an exception to me. I give it a 7.5 out of 10. It gets a bit above average

[@BlackMirror1994]

Great review! I was able to get a physical copy of Mary skelter 2 on ebay. I paid less than 100 dollars on top of it :)

[@BlackMirror1994]

One reason i bought my switch lite :) i will buy mary skelter soon xD sonys censorship is so annoying.. So we don't get an englisch ps4 release Dx

[@TheGameLooters]

Great review! I had seen this game come up, but now that I saw your review this looks like everything I don’t like about the persona Q series. Keep up the great work 💪🏽💪🏽🔥🎃

[@R3DGaming]

Thank you. :)

[@bunnsberry3236]

When you say very skilled or nightmares is less scary on the switch is it because you’ve played it before? Or did they omit parts of the game? Because I have the vita version hard copy which is very rare and I don’t wanna waste time playing it again if it’s not as good

[@R3DGaming]

I mean the 2 on the switch isn't. I didn't get to play Nightmares on the Switch for this review because you have to download after the 2nd game came out for the switch. I played it on the PS4 in Japanese and it looked good. The 2nd one just seems less dark and scary than the first game. The switch graphics seem lighter and not as dark too.

[@maroXUprising]

Love the game, bought the Japanese limited edition for switch, but I’m probably just going To be get the English version of the game when the pre-orders for the LRG physical copy begins. And yeah traps do kill you in battle same goes for the enemies. Had to experience that the hard way when entering the 4th dungeon, the nightmare had forced me into a battle in the middle of the railroads with the spike carts, rage quitted afterwards losing so much progress. Big OOF.

[@R3DGaming]

Ouch!!! I'm sorry that you had to experience that.

[@SP41891]

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

Yes

[@TheDreadedZero]

“Are these games worth $40?” I didn’t preorder. So I had to pay $120 for the US switch version off eBay.

[@R3DGaming]

Wow. I didn't know it was limited.

[@TheDreadedZero]

R3D Gaming yea the company didn’t make a physical release but there’s a site called LimitedRunGames that makes cases and cartridges for digital only games. So there’s a few copies out there but they’re crazy expensive now

[@nintendotrucker1984]

@@TheDreadedZero i’m sorry they’re only $50 on Amazon now.

[@Kaytenorg]

Gameplay, presentation and basically everything else is great in this game. Big warning, however, the male protagonist from the first game got swapped with a female one and there is quite a bit of yuri going on here, so be wary of that if that isn't your cup of tea!

[@PAPERWEIGHTPRODUCTIONS]

So is the switch version not censored as opposed to what happened with the ps4 ???

[@jasonmartinez5116]

Yep Switch version is completely uncensored

[@obligatoryfate6849]

I gave you a thumbs up for a pretty good review. Thank you for details. However, I will give you a thumbs down next time if you don’t tone your intro and your outro WAY DOWN! It’s too much, it’s blaring, and it’s frankly just too obnoxious.

[@R3DGaming]

Thank you for the feedback.

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

Please keep the intro and outro nice and loud, thanks.

[@roxaszero2154]

Thanks for the review. I just bought the game on the eshop but can't find where to download the first installment. Do you know where to find it? Thanks!

[@R3DGaming]

I'm not sure. I still have to do that too. It says on the page, "This game also includes the first installment of the series, Mary Skelter: Nightmares."

[@felicitee5]

I just found it. There’s a free DLC that unlocks it.

[@dkr4673]

great review dude :) mary skelter 2 & mary skelter finale look pretty great. im still holding out hope that ghostlight will work their magic and port mary skelter 2 to pc as well since sadly i dont own a switch and dont ever plan to lol.

[@MsSaskue360]

Between this and trails of cold steel 3 this will be a very fun week, I'm guessing is only for the English dub and not the superior Japanese audio

[@R3DGaming]

Every time that you start up the game, it asks you if you want to play with English or Japanese voices. So, it's an option on the switch.

[@MsSaskue360]

@@R3DGaming I know I meant that the Japanese audio version has more recorded lines than the dub does and since I love Japanese voice acting that means I'm getting a better experience since alot more of the game is voice compare to the dub

[@R3DGaming]

@@MsSaskue360 Ah, I think I understand now.

[@dartez666]

"Superior"

[@BRIAN09157]

The switch ver it’s censored?

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

Yes. All black characters are now deleted.

[@azurekite3870]

no,it's not at all unlike the ps4 version

[@theflyingdutchman4365]

I loved 1 on my ps vita I hope 2 get a English release in 2020 on ps4 Europe and America

[@R3DGaming]

I highly doubt it. It will probably come to Steam. Arc of Alchemist will be coming to the Switch. I think maybe that's why Re;birth1 is taking so long. Maybe, they're planning to release Re;birth1 on the Switch.

[@theflyingdutchman4365]

Red's 3rd Dimension Gaming well a man can hope and dream that we get a English Mary skelter 2 on ps4 in Europe

[@animefreak8884]

well the switch version of mary skelters nightmare changes alot about the dungeons and makes them smaller and other things compared to the ps vita version.
