Abstract: The Caligula Effect's major selling point is that it was written by Tadashi Satomi, whose claim to fame is that he developed the scenario, characters, and setting of the original Persona games. Considering how beloved those games are, and how widely they'...
Interesting story premise and narrative, Affinity system, Interesting combat execution, Relatable personal struggles
Timing and juggling of combat may be tedious for some, Framerate drops in heated battles, Affinity with NPC tedious after a while, Certain themes may be too dark for some audiences

FuRyu's latest RPG might be their best work yet, with a combat system that can be incredibly satisfying to link together, but there is still something lacking in the parts that don't attempt to emulate Persona...
Abstract: The Caligula Effect is a game I've kept my eye on for a while now. Despite lacking a AAA budget title like Persona, it seems like an engaging game among the likes of Tokyo Xanadu and Akiba's Trip. It finally comes to North America and Europe on May 2, 201...
Abstract: Novel game concepts are far less common than their iterative counterparts. A successful franchise is bound to spawn its fair share of imitators, and while some compare favourably to their progenitors, others are little more than mirthless copycats. The Ca...
