Yurukill: The Calumniation Games mixes escape adventure and bullet hell shoot 'em up, with an original story by Homura Kawamoto (famous for Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler).
An entertaining enough game, although the synergy never works and the story loses steam fast. A good first effort, though
Yurukill: The Calumniation Games is a bit of a mess, but it definitely feels like a mess that someone tried really hard to make. While the gameplay elements sometimes feel at odds, it has a lot of charm in its characters and UI design. Even though the game's plot can feel unfocused and confusing, it does have some really good moments. The characters...
Hard to be categorical with Yurukill. The shoot'em up phases are pleasant, the story is generally interesting, even if the ending will tend to disappoint, and it is quite satisfying to see the characters evolve over the course of our investigations.
While not up to the level of its inspirations, Yurukill: The Calumniation Games is an enjoyable visual novel that does an excellent job of merging its storytelling with shoot 'em up gameplay.
Yurukill: The Calumniation Games blends visual novel story and Shmup gameplay to create a very engaging experience.
