SC2VN - The eSports Visual Novel

Downloaded this game from the SC2VN site before Steam release, so I've already played through this Great game, especially for StarCraft fans, but this game appeals to the eSports audience in general, does a really good job of giving you the feeling of the Korean eSports scene for StarCraft II, including the VSL. (A spin-off of the real league GSL) This game would easily be worth 10-15$ if it was being sold for...

I usually don't write reviews and I usually don't like Visual Novels... but this one is really a killer game. Really. It gives an insane insight on the eSports world and even if you don't play Starcraft it's very enjoyable. Also, it is well written and the overall quality is astounding. If you play ANY competitive game, even at casual level, you should play this. It takes 3~4 hours and it's totally worth it. Also,...

This game was a good surprise. It's free so it's worth trying, but it's heavily targeted toward fans of Starcraft 2 obviously. Being a fan I can say the game was amazing, there is a lot of work put into details that just "hit" for people that knows Starcraft. The "pro" environement of Starcraft in Korea is very well explained and makes a good introduction to newcomers, however it's not really the same treatement for...

Drop everything, let's go to Korea to become a professional StarCraft player. SC2VN - The eSports Visual Novel was for me a complete surprise. Starting from the fact that the game is targeted to fans of StarCraft, but that doesn't mean you can't play it, not having a clue what's going on in this game. Everything important is explained in the tutorial. Yes, I am one of those who didn't have any idea what StarCraft...

I'm going to try really hard to write an unbiased review here as I know the writer for this novel personally, but everything I write here will be an honest representation of my thoughts on the game. But first, some minor background to the expectations I had. I've been playing visual novel games for several years. In a similar comparison, I've also played JRPGs for years. On that note, there exists a well-known...

Well worth a few hours of your time, this free Visual Novel is a great peek into the sorts of challenges facing someone looking to become a professional gamer. There's some concessions of realism for the sake of story, but they don't hinder the game in any real way, and I found myself actually interested and even caring for/about the characters. The interface is clean and responsive, and the medium is put to good...

Like others, played this on the original release. As gimmicky as it seems, it's probably the most enjoyable visual novel I've played, with plenty of esports in-jokes to go around, especially in the bonus feature once unlocked. That, and you can learn about the sex life of genderbent IdrA. So there's that, too. Worth a run through if you have a couple hours to kill, I'd advise saving often, especially before...
