    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Queen at Arms" is praised for its engaging writing and diverse characters, tackling relevant themes effectively, though it suffers from a lack of main character agency and unresolved plot threads. While the narrative is concise and offers meaningful choices, it is relatively short, with a single playthrough lasting about five hours. Overall, the game is recommended for its solid storytelling and character development, particularly as the protagonist evolves throughout the experience.

    • “This is a story with a lot to say, and for the most part, it says it very well.”
    • “The decision system is made very well and has a good impact on the story.”
    • “Queen at Arms is a good visual novel that addresses some ideas intelligently with a good story and characters.”
    • “However, despite interesting and diverse characters, relevant, important, and simply good topics and overall great quality in storytelling, it is severely let down by a lack of main character agency, garish and caricature-styled art, and its price.”
    • “There are also multiple story ideas and threads that the game very boldly pulls up and then immediately drops completely unresolved.”
    • “The story is ridiculously short though I understand that there are choices.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics have received criticism for their poor art style, though some users note that the visuals, despite their shortcomings, complement the overall experience of the game. Additionally, the original soundtrack has been highlighted as a standout feature, enhancing the game's appeal despite the graphical flaws.

    • “The art style is bad.”
    • “While the artwork and music aren't great, it works and helps the game overall.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development is highly praised, with players noting a compelling transformation from a shy and timid protagonist to a more confident and brave individual as the story progresses. This growth is highlighted as a standout feature, especially in contrast to the often static development of main characters in other games.

    • “The character development is amazing.”
    • “At first, you are this shy and timid person, but as you go deeper into the story, you slowly become more confident and brave. This is pretty cool because I feel that there is rarely any main character development, while the other characters slowly grow and become better versions of themselves.”
    • “The character development feels rushed and superficial, leaving little room for meaningful growth or transformation throughout the game.”
    • “While the game introduces interesting characters, their development is often sidelined, making it hard to connect with them on a deeper level.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The original soundtrack of the game is notable for being both catchy and enjoyable, managing to stick in players' heads without becoming irritating. While the overall art style may not be exceptional, the music effectively enhances the gaming experience.

    • “The art style you can see from the screenshots, but particularly worth noting on a technical level is the original soundtrack - I've very rarely had game music a) get stuck in my head or b) get stuck in my head and not drive me batshit, but this manages both.”
    • “While the artwork and music aren't great, it works and helps the game overall.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
