In the end, Blue Reflection: Second Light certainly surprised me. It is really the only issue I found with the game, as the story, visuals, and even the music was amazing. During the aforementioned dates Ao can go on with other girls, players can have Ao make flirtatious comments resulting in some inappropriate and oddly sexualized interactions. This, coupled with some unsavory shots of the girls’ lower ends definitely took me out of my immersion at times. There is, however, a problematic note in this game. The more combos made during a fight, the more damage is done, allowing for each attack to hit harder. Enemies are able to reset the combo counter with certain attacks though, so be careful! FINAL THOUGHTS Meaning, some requests are pivotal to progressing in the main story while others are just satisfying side journeys for the player to go on.Ĭombat in Blue Reflection: Second Light focuses on combos. Like most games, this game has main quests and side quests. These aren’t necessarily romantic they just happen to be called that. The aforementioned requests that girls send Ao during the game serve as the way the players receive tasks to do. These tasks not only build the bonds between Ao and the other girls, but also serve as quests for the player to go on. Although players can only control Ao, other girls may accompany them in moments called dates. The whole point of this game is to form bonds with the other girls, which is done through doing tasks for them and spending quality time with them. GAMEPLAYĪlthough the cutesy beginning and artwork might have players believe that the gameplay would be simple, this game packs a surprising amount of punch! This JRPG is definitely directed at a female audience, as these stories would likely resonate more with them, but it can be enjoyed by anyone. The friendships that are written are surprisingly genuine and it becomes incredibly easy to fall in love with all the characters the player encounters. These memories manifest in important people and events in the girls’ lives. The girls embark on a journey of fun and friendship as they set out to recover everyone’s memories and, hopefully, return to the real world.Īlthough this story may appear short and sweet to some, it becomes more complex and heartfelt the longer the game goes on. This alternate world the girls find themselves is one shrouded in mystery and chock full of monsters. All of the girls live in an empty academy surrounded by water and other strange lands. As the story progresses, more girls begin appearing in the academy and, with them, more lands. The girls discover the ability to unlock memories through exploring these lands, which in turn leads to Ao deciding to lead them all on a quest to recover their memories. Ao is the only girl who has retained her memories from her life before. She meets the other main two inhabitants- Kokoro Utsubo, and Yuki Kinjou- who have lost their memories. This app teleports her to a new, mysterious world. After dropping her phone, she picks it up to find a strange app on it. Upon first launching the game, players will find themselves living the experience of Ao Hoshizaki.
