Shuten Order Game Review
Two-thirds of it range from good to excellent… but in a 60-hour game, that still means around 20 hours of mediocre-to-bad gameplay.
― I'm far from an expert on this particular matter, but I'm not sure there's any game out there that's quite like Shuten Order. Created by Kazutaka Kodaka of Danganronpa and The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy fame, it is at its heart a visual novel, first and foremos...
