Virgo Versus the Zodiac invitations gamers right into a celestial realm the place they assume the function of Virgo. This holy queen is tasked with restoring the Golden Age, an period outlined by peace and stability. On this turn-based RPG journey, gamers navigate a world teeming with zodiac foes and legendary creatures alike. What does this world of stars have to supply? We will see.
Within the sport, you battle by means of totally different realms with the objective of defeating all of the Zodiacs, in addition to totally different creatures, and stars. In your aspect are fellow Zodiac Items, Ginger the Cookie, and stars Algol and Spica. The character designs and personalities of those characters are actually good and the totally different characters’ attitudes react very nicely with one another.
When beginning the sport, you get to select from three totally different modes: Stress Free Mode (simple), Zodiac Mode (regular), and Masochist Mode (arduous). After a quick introduction to the story, you’re thrown head-first into fight. The fight system could also be unforgiving, nevertheless it’s a testomony to the sport’s dedication to problem. Even on regular mode, you’ll want persistence and ability to succeed. Every victory feels earned, making it all of the extra satisfying. Some greater fights take technique to beat and require you to plan out what you need your combating characters to do.
The quantity of character customization on this sport is superb. There are a plethora of various weapons and gear that every character can use, and a bunch extra that just one or two characters can use. With every bit of kit scaling off of a unique stat, you may simply decide and select which merchandise you need to give to which character.
Every new space introduces a recent assortment of enemies, coupled with a noticeable enhance in issue. This issue enhance is short-lived, nevertheless, as a result of energy and new gear you achieve in every new stage and realm. However it then comes proper again to slap you within the face within the subsequent realm. The brand new areas have some older however buffed-up enemies from earlier realms, as nicely, so it’ll be good to recollect the enemies you struggle.
Additionally, every realm has its personal soundtrack and totally different music to match the world you’re in. Not solely is the music beautiful, nevertheless it’s additionally very nicely suited to the quick space.
I’d price Virgo Versus the Zodiac a ten/10, however outdoors of fight are troublesome glitches and bugs. Some partitions you simply glitch by means of and get caught in till you reload a saved sport. These saves must completed manually as there isn’t a auto-save characteristic. So, in the event you overlook to avoid wasting and also you get caught, you’ll must reset a far distance again (which occurred to me a number of occasions). In sure areas when this occurs, you may skip previous a whole section of the sport. This might be superb for velocity runs, nevertheless it’s not nice for a traditional playthrough.
Nonetheless, there’s rather a lot take pleasure in in Virgo Versus the Zodiac when glitches don’t intrude; the alignment of pixel artwork with hand-drawn characters and the depth of world-building are spectacular. For those who’re up for the problem and might overlook the bugs, this celestial journey is well worth the 15 hours or so it takes to finish it.
