Ohayou Minna!!!!
This is Hellfiredragon9 with the first anime game discussion thread for Dengeki Gakuen RPG: Cross of Venus!!
This game is an action/arcade/RPG/crossover for the Nintendo DS based off of several light novels from ASCII Media Works famed Dengeki Bunko Light Novel Magazine.
In this game, you play as a nameless male main character (I called my guy Desu
). Anyway, with the help of your friend (who's name will always escape me) you have to help liberate the world of Dengeki Bunko, as the heroines have been kidnapped and the worlds sent into chaos by the evil "Entertainer". As such, the Heroines are now spilling into the real world, and travel between the two is possible, and so you set off to help free the Dengeki Bunko universe!!
This is a crossover in that it encompases a multitute of light novels. However, of the 10 playable characters, 9 have their own anime, and the one that doesn't is the main character.
Animes playable:
Shakugan no Shana (Shana)
Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu (Iriya Kana)
Kino no Tabi (Kino)
To Aru Majustu no Index (Index Liborium Prohibitorum, Mikoto Misaka)
Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (Haruka Nogizaka)
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan (Dokuro Mitsukai)
Toradora! (Taiga Aisaka)
Asura Cryin' (Misao Minikami)
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (Mikoto Misaka)
Anime not playable but Character appearance:
Spice and Wolf (Lawerance Kraft, Horo)
What makes this a killer DS game is that is has voiceovers!! This is a great feature, and leads to some pretty funny discussions in the game (for example, since Taiga and Shana [and a boss from Bokusatsu named Saboto], there are many discussions about how Taiga and Shana sound the same).
Overall, I rate this game an 8, it's very fun once you know what you are doing. I will make 1 comment about this game, I'm on level 12 of 18, and I'm stuck on level 12 because Shuri from Asura Cryin' keeps freaking killing me (damn her attacks that do 1100 damage EACH!).
