The Devil on G-String

“The soundtrack is especially noteworthy, making extensive use of classical and dramatic compositions that heighten tension and give major story moments a theatrical intensity.”

“Having one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard in a visual novel, G-Senjou no Maou was able to send emotions and thrills down my back.”

“Most of the soundtrack is comprised of songs built on classical music, and a violinist and a fan of classical music make up two of the core characters.”

“The story is filled with twists, hard-hitting emotional moments, and is overall interesting and at times even exhilarating.”

“For players willing to commit to a lengthy, emotionally demanding visual novel, it remains a compelling and rewarding experience that exemplifies the storytelling potential of the medium.”

“Now, the epilogue and true ending have been widely praised by the VN community, and indeed it is one of the best endings I've ever seen - a tear-filled emotional rollercoaster with an ending with closure.”

“The overall presentation is phenomenal with gorgeous artwork and so many CGs I felt like I was watching a movie at times.”

“Beautiful, detailed artwork and a lot of CGs to see, all in HD, are another strong point.”

“The artwork appears to have had some work done on its sprites to make them look quite a bit better, and the new 720p resolution is awesome.”

“The characters are interesting with some having common tropes like the dumb one, the funny one and the jackass one, but even with this each chapter has almost every character and side character take on a new role or personality based on some of the choices you made in the game.”

“Compelling characters (especially villains), phenomenal music (i.e. arrangements of classical music), solid comedy (made me laugh out loud a bunch of times), and overall great story.”

“It's exciting and thrilling, but it's also balanced out with romance elements and the in and out trappings of daily school life, which only helps to make the story more interesting, as it's a cool juxtaposition; one minute you're having lunch on the rooftop and laughing at the guy with the crush on the teacher, the next, you're shooting a gun in the streets trying to stop someone from activating a bomb... it's crazy in just the right way.”

“The conflicts are ten times grander, the character development for all the characters is so much greater; you find out about Haru's past and what drove her to where you are, you find out the true reason for the villain's wrongdoings, his past and his real identity.”

“Every single character is either extremely interesting or deliberately made to be boring so they could be hit with the most amount of character development possible until they become extremely interesting like the rest.”

“Each girl ends up quickly revealing their complexities beyond first impressions, and you can see the character development unfold in a lot of ways.”

“Hands down, G-Senjou no Maou has been the best visual novel I have ever played. The story, characters, music, and ideals portrayed were perfect in creating the atmosphere of this truly captivating story.”

“There is also time-based character color calibration, which is a really cool addition because it makes the characters have evening and night color immersion, adding to the overall atmosphere of the visual novel.”

“The music in the menu gives that creepy feeling when you play in the dark. I loved the overall creepy atmosphere it manages to set and how it turns the creepy and dark atmosphere into a cheery and cute one, all with the use of music that goes along with the gloomy and bright colors.”

“G-senjou no Maou is fast paced compared to regular visual novels, with around 30 hours of gameplay, although the game could easily be 40 hours or more.”
