Are Vanillaware games overrated?

>>713329552 (OP)
I just don't like them

They aren't criticized enough for their flagrant reuse of content but they're still good, if not on the merit of their gameplay then at least for their fucking fantastic art direction.

>>713329552 (OP)
No you're just a buttmad PCfag.

>>713329552 (OP)
A bit, I didn't really noticed it while playing but they reuse a lot of assets

That's a big bitch

A bit. Level design is very lackluster.

>>713330774
That'd be my main criticism. Odin's sphere was horrendous at this, with literal hallways as stages. Muramasa was a bit better, with more verticality, but still nothing special. I frankly have never cared much for their games, their only outstanding point is the eye candy.

is the dlc really that good or is it just a case of platform exclusivity bias?

their animation is trash

>>713332442
it's because they use modular animation which isn't typical animation used in 2d games

https://youtu.be/ZpXBssMHFBg

>>713329552 (OP)
why is this shit still trapped on the Vita?
are they dumb?

They are underrated actually. Don't sell big numbers. And they refuse to port their games to other systems. Very strange small company. But this in the long run is probably a good thing. If VW ever got bigger they would go to shit. Look at Platinum. Since getting large enough to self publish they fucking IMPLODED and are a shell of themselves. Mass exodus of talent. Cancelled games and shit games everywhere. This is not what you want from Vanillaware. Pray they stay sorry of small and independent.

>>713330774
They definitely improved that a bit with unicorn overlord. The final setpiece fights in all the regions are fairly interesting in their own way. Granted, a ton of their less important fights are basically throwaway encounters with not much to them.

>>713332026
Because DLC was specifically made for Vita. I assume there aren't necessarily higher quality assets around. Then again, GrimGrimoire got a fucking remaster and that was a PS2 title so what do I know.

>>713332184
well if you like the game why would you not want more content
it's 4 more playable characters with their own combat styles and stories with new bosses

i'm pretty sure they are working on a muramasa remaster, as they already did odin sphere and grimgrimoire

>>713329683
They can reuse the same art a thousand times if it looks as good as it does
>>713329839
All of vanillaware's catalog is playable on pc

>>713332026
>Basically all of their shit can be played on the PS4
>Except Muramasa
This game needs a rerelease on modern consoles so goddamn bad. It's criminal that it's trapped on a piece of junk like the Vita.

>>713332615
I think it's because they're mainly artists with definitely no budget or know-how to start porting their games.

>>713329552 (OP)
No.

A bit, they look really good and the music is always great, but the gameplay is never anything special and at best it's just okay.
I love things like Dragon's Crown and Grand Knights History but they're really just a 7/10 all things considered, maybe a bit higher if you're a boomer and can see all the tasteful nods to old games and stuff.
Also, sex with Rajyaki.

>>713329552 (OP)
Yeah honestly. They're carried by their art style. They're not bad games by any stretch, but they're not phenomenal either.

>>713332779
Everything about this game 10/10 except the gameplay. Mindless mashing 90%, then there's a boss or two that will push your shit it for trying that on them.

>>713332993
was katana crafting always linear or did it open up at some point?

>>713329552 (OP)
I'm sorry, guys. WE HUNGRY.

>>713332993
Eh, when it comes to the base game you really can mash against anything but maybe Inugami, and even there if you have the right swords you can still mash provided you stock up on Magatama.
Fury mode fixes that by giving you one HP so you have to actually pay attention but it's also unbalanced as fuck and a pain to play since you'll be starved for EXP and will need to grind.

The problem with the base game is that the enemy design is kinda bad, you can see how that isn't the case for Genroku Legends where the new bosses are actually well designed and mashing against them will mean death, things like Okoi's haunted house, Jorogumo, Shiranui, Gashadokuro or really, any of Gonbe's bosses are hellish on Fury mode whereas base Muramasa bosses are still mostly chumps you can bully with a specific sword tech.
>>713333182
Nah, always linear even after you unlock both trees.

>>713333182
I don't remember much about it other than unlocking what I could, playing for a while, then seeing what opened up once I progressed a bit.

>>713333286
Wasn't the 1 HP mode actually just the easier difficulty, but with 1 HP? And it's not actually that you had 1 HP, your sword meter essentially was your HP bar because you auto block everything (which could be bad because somethings will fuck up your sword instantly.)

>>713332993
The only good parts of Muramasa is the bosses. Pretty fun, especially on Fury mode as long as you don't abuse sword techs and refill their durability. I ended up getting a platinum for Muramasa.

>>713332779
Can the game be perfectly emulated now on PC or is it still truly stuck on the Vita?

>>713333263
imagine vanillaware making a game about managing a restaurant or something.

>>713329552 (OP)
Honestly they are only for a certain subset of people. Sadly there is always some bad localizer on some of their games so it never gains much traction other than the same 100 people who will shill everywhere that every game is this underrated masterpiece.

>>713329552 (OP)
They're 7/10s, sometimes 8/10s, that happen to have good enough art and sound direction for most to overlook the flaws.

>>713333459
Yes, Fury mode is 1 HP plus auto block. As you said there are attacks that eat through durability so you have to avoid them. Some of it is using your sword to take on the damage and switching it out so it can repair durability, other parts are looking for signs for certain attacks to dodge. I should get back into the game again because I have a file for Fishy Tales on Fury on the final boss.

>>713333459
Not really, it might have been easy mode if you had faster progression or could carry over stuff from lower difficulties, but you can't.
Also autoblock is only a thing if you're in neutral, so again, if you're mashing you die because you do not autoblock on active frames, you actually need to know when it's safe to attack and when it isn't, which admittedly isn't hard on the base game outside of maybe Inugami, and Fudo's falling rock spam, Genroku bosses on Fury mode are actually hard.

>>713329552 (OP)
Gaem? I want to sex fat oni girl

>>713333513
odin sphere was pretty flawed but they completely turned it around with leifthrasir and made it a 10/10.
the best game they created so far.

>>713333645
that's DLC for the Vita only game Muramasa Rebirth

This one of the best video-game ever made.

>>713333709
a little bit too short imho and i wish they would have put more classes in, but otherwise a good game to play with others

>>713333709
>Stuck on the PS4
>Online is also completely dead
I can only hope somebody figures out a way to have online multiplayer on ShadPS4

>>713333654
My only problem with Leifthrasir is that while the player has gotten tons of new options the bosses are mostly still the same. None of the main story bosses are capable of keeping up with how crazy the Leifthrasir player characters are. The new set of sub bosses on the other hand feel like a real challenge and I wish they had altered more of the main bosses to match that level of difficulty.

>>713334045
>endless backtracking with fixed encounters
MAKE IT STOOOOOP

>>713332184
they are not that good but I wouldn't call them bad
again it's the usual problem of tons of reused assets, and they are so long for no good reason, just to pad the shit out of your gametime

When I think about vanillaware i think of fake fun gameplay
Shit is just pretty but has zero depth or skill checks

>>713334306
You're not completely wrong, but the vast majority of games is like that, VW might be a company of artists that desperately needs a good game designer but at least they have a strong identity and do whatever they like rather than being slaves to investors.
Still, a select couple of Vanillaware games actually have decent skill check, you actually need to know what you're doing in Dragon's Crown outside of Normal difficulty for instance, and it's a pretty good beat-em-up to this day.

>>713329552 (OP)
I would've said yes a while back, but now 13 Sentinels and Unicorn Overlord they've shown they can branch out.

They're functional games. But you know it's just selling the art.

>>713333513
I think mostly 8/10s but that's a pretty fair assessment I'd say

>>713334623
Unicorn Overlord was boring as shit

>>713329552 (OP)
Unicorn Overlord is their only good game.

>>713329552 (OP)
No. I'd say that they do get criticism where they deserve it, but generally their packages come together excellently.
For example, even though I think that Unicorn Overlord would have been MUCH better had it had more mission variety (like escort or defense missions) and also branching story depending on which area you liberate first, I still think it's a fantastic game.

>>713332184
As somebody who played the original game twice (on Wii and Vita) and DLCs, they are great addition to the game. The problem I had with original game was that both protags play pretty much the same, but in DLC each character has their own unique gimmick.
I still wouldn't 100% them, but it sucks that they're only on Vita.

>>713329552 (OP)
looks sub af

>>713333471
It's stuck on the Vita. Nobody ripped the DLC and released them on the internet.

>>713335253
Unicorn Overlord is one of their worst games. The story is way too basic and generic.
The art feels like a huge step back from Dragon Crown where they were fine with experimenting and makeing it absurb for the fun of it.

>>713335123
There is nothing wrong with the art. And nobody cares about the few gaming journalist that got offended because it wasn't woke. Fuck them.

>>713332779
The vita is still the best handheld and muramsa looks best on it, you can play it on pc if you want but you sound too retarded to do so

>>713336710
Wrong on boh accounts, Muramasa in its entirety is perfectly playable on V3K

>>713336710
Why lie over a thing that can be checked in 3 seconds?

I've finally been playing the DLCs after not having touched the game in a decade. Does anyone know a fast way to level up to 100? I finished the Nekomata by killing all bosses, completing all the Caves of Evil and getting her to max level. I wanna try that with the other three characters but the grind is putting me off.
Also, what are some moves with lots of invincibility frames? I only managed to beat some of the bosses and Caves of Evil thanks to some of the Nekomata's supers having tons of invincibility frames, but the farmer's supers seems like they're complete shit. His dodges are useful, but seem to only be good when facing against a single enemy who does one big (but not long) attack. Aerial combat with the farmer seems like it's shit outside of the hoe, and I know some of the bosses are gonna require me to fight in the air.
Any tips?

>>713337857
Some caves of evil give decent EXP, I generally just grind Yuki-Onna in the mountains or do a couple of caves.
It's easier to grind with Momohime/Kisuke since you have some swords that can AoE the entire screen for instakills, the Genroku characters are much slower to grind because they don't have any full screen on demand.
>what are some moves with lots of invincibility frames
Any special art on your circle button coats you in I-frames as long as the animation is active, Okoi and Rajyaki have their demon forms which also give them full invincibility as long as you stay in demon form.

>>713338051
I've been grinding the Yuki-Onnas; fighting three of them each time. Took me ages to grind with Nekomata to max level, so I'm worried that I'll just burn myself out trying to do the same with the other DLC characters.
Maybe this is because I haven't played the game in a decade and I'm shit at the game, but I swear some of the bosses/Caves of Evil are impossible to beat without abusing the special arts with lots of invincibility frames. Some of this bosses in this game have multi-hitting, (almost) full-screen attacks that I have zero idea how to counter. The ninja guy's boss fight with the giant skeleton had an attack that filled with screen with skulls that I still have no idea what to do to beat/avoid it, and I only managed to win that fight via sheer brute force.

>>713333709
I wish the combat was more skill-based

>>713333834
It's also on PS3 and Vita, anon. Never played it on PS3 but the Vita version's framerate is complete shit.

>>713338382
Most of the caves of evil, especially the mook armies, are made for you to abuse special techs.
The Genroku girls have a relatively easier time on caves of evil because they have a lot of busted special techs out of the box, Gonbe and Arashimaru are more technical (read: they suck) so it's not as easy for them, Rajyaki generally stomps everything though.
>Some of this bosses in this game have multi-hitting, (almost) full-screen attacks that I have zero idea how to counter.
Base game bosses are all about either dodging or using special techs to i-frame through their shit, Genroku bosses are more demanding, Gashadokuro's full screen skull cascade for instance requires you to switch to Kusarigama and use the windmill attack to get through it, you can't just i-frame through it because it lasts a few seconds, Arashimaru's bosses in general are built around checking whether you can fully use his shitty but versatile moveset, Gonbe is very similar but arguably worse since he's a random farmer so he doesn't have any of the busted shit other MCs have like airdashes, and most of his moveset is crap so you really need to know what to use, which is your bamboo spear most of the time, the hoe is a trap for instance and you should really not use it outside of some hyper specific cases.

>>713332026
>buy a NA physical copy of Muramasa due to being hard to find locally
>buy DLCs from my local PSN store, not realising they won't be compatible

>>713338647
What makes the spear better than the hoe? I always used the hoe due to it having better range and having faster swings (or at least that's what it looked like to me)

>>713338758
did he died

>>713332707
>All of vanillaware's catalog is playable on pc
Via emulator? Yes.
But people want actual PC ports.

>>713338824
For starters, it can stunlock most mooks after a couple of upgrades, secondly it has a divekick that covers a lot of ground and can be used as a way to quickly dodge stuff and reposition yourself, the dps is much higher than the hoe and the frame data is also much more advantageous as the hoe has a truckload of delay frames inbetween attacks which you can't cancel out, the ground special is also very long which means a lot of i-frames for you to abuse and when you have your buddies out you'll do a lot more damage than you'd do with the hoe, lastly, its ground dash attack covers a lot of ground and also lets you do cross ups that can be used to evade shit.
Most of the time you're playing with Gonbe you'll want to use your bamboo spear purely because the hoe is slow and doesn't allow repositioning, the hoe's moveset is really bad in general and should only be used sparingly for its normal air combo on the few bosses that are kinda clunky to hit with the sickle's downward special, which is actually Gonbe's most damaging attack by far.

Nope, it was a free patch for both PS3 and Vita. There is nothing new on PS4 outside of the orchestral OST I mentioned.

>>713341175
>Did they change anything?
The big things are the new DLC characters and a proper translation. I cannot emphasize how bad the Wii version's script is. It splits the MAIN VILLAIN of Momohime's story into a different nameless NPC every time he appears because the translator didn't understand it was suppose to be one guy and not an organization of several people.

>>713341442
I never played the Wii version, what the fuck did you mean by that?

>>713329552 (OP)
Did they ever release anything on PC? Anything more exclusive usually gets labeled as overrated simply because of its exclusivity. The easier it is to play, the more people have played it, and the more balanced the general option tends to be. The opposite can be seen in the number of VNs on Steam with Overwhelmingly Positive, since they're only played by people who are inclined to like the genre in the first place

>>713341503

How completely underrated their good games are (Princess Crown*, Muramasa) is about the same as how overrated their so-so games are (13 Sentinels, Dragon's Crown) so they just hover around properly rated.
I know Princess Crown was made before the even became Vanillaware

>>713329552 (OP)
No. They're great.

>>713343132
It's still technically a Vanillaware game, it's proto Odin Sphere pretty much and a lot of key elements of Princess Crown can be found in more or less all of Vanillaware's games.

Anyone who denies their attraction to a multiform wife is either deluding themselves or a literal cuck. Simple as.

>>713342787
I never implied they would. Now answer me, why the fuck would what people want have any bearing to what I said?

Higher res, better controls, the DLC side stories were the main seller. They're really short but change up the gameplay seeing as the original you only played as 2 characters who play nearly the same. The neat thing is you can play the DLC side stories right away at the title screen instead of the main story so you don't have to tread through the game again since you've already played the Wii version.

Far and away my favorite class, the only gripe is he needs a better way to stun elite mobs on his own for grabs.

>>713351442
Dorf grabs are kinda bullshit so it's a good thing that elite mobs don't fold instantly to that.

>>713351590
they are great for control, but hes got better options for damage. Considering the kind of dps degeneracy Amazon can get up to I think Dwarf having a reliable way to start grabs on elites would be fine. Maybe a bomb bag equipment upgrade so he cant just mindlessly spam it

its not just translation.
vita version lets you remap the controls entirely and split functions OFF the attack button.
AND you can map a jump button.
this changes the gameplay drastically and makes it less mashy.

before on wii, attack, guard and dodge were on A.

The problem with buffing dorf grabs is that in a party that means dorf grabs whatever elite mob and gets to completely neuter it while the rest of the party wails on it for free, it more or less completely invalidates the danger of elite mobs with zero investments since even the Wizard needs to spend points on Extinction while grabs are a basic Dorf function.
Yeah, in single player it's kind of annoying, but that also means Dorf isn't just about grabbing things to death, it's like Elf's arrows being an actual resource or how Wizard has to overcharge to get his true DPS, you need some sort of power limiter for certain classes, even Amazon needs to avoid getting hit if she wants to unlock her full potential.

>Get kicked out of hell for complaining about the demons not being able to do their jobs right and the poor torture conditions.
Funniest ending, makes more sense when you remember that japanese hell is supposed to just torture the shit out of you until you've served your time and kick you back into the cycle of reincarnation, so the demons not torturing you quickly enough is naturally something to whine about because you just want to get a move on.

>>713332707
I don't see any of them on Steam or Epic Games

>>713352224
well the problem with that is that in a team setting Dwarf can just have someone else stun the elite so he can grab it. Which admittedly I like since it rewards cooperation which should be encouraged. Its in single player on the higher difficulties where not being able to use a key skill on the most dangerous enemies that feels frustrating. I think a gear piece that causes bomb bag bombs to deal reduced damage and max uses but stuns enemies in place for a second would allow throw based Dwarf builds to not suffer so much on high level solo play while having enough of an opportunity cost that its not overpowered in multiplayer.

>>713353103
You can still use something like ice infused weapons/rings to freeze them, you don't NEED stun, iirc even petrification works

>>713352834
And? What's your point?

No? I mean, they're not perfect but they're often good , even atop the artwork. The major issue is their titles not getting PC releases at this point; I'm surprised Sega didn't drag them kicking and screaming into this century as they did Atlus, especially if they're constantly
>We're one game away from closing! We don't have money for any projects! This HAS to sell well or we could go under
mode, and sales on Steam would make them a fortune if they did it right. The Yakuza / RGG studio found out that after questioning PC for decades, they found that Steam resulted in their best long term sales and most devoted playerbase to the point that even selling titles like Y0 for 85% off is making them a significant profit (and moreso than if they were hardasses about price, didn't put things on sale and especially being stupid about console faggotry)

>>713340429
I was the same way until recently, emulation has been basically perfected compared to the znes day back in 1999.

>>713340025
>I'm sure you thought you sounded very smart when you said it in your head
huh lil weeb seething lmao

>>713340025
Nah, he's right. Plenty of games just throw up garbage all over the screen and/or make you fiddle around in menus for a long time so you feel like you're doing something engaging but you're really not. If you're not aware of it, then the illusion has worked on you, I guess, but you really ought to be a more discerning player. If not, you fall prey to stuff like gachas.

>>713340429
you are not PC master race, you are a console lard who finally decided to get a PC after years of sucking off console dick
you are like one of those "born again christian" women who decided to wait until marriage after they've been run through by 300 guys already

The last time I emulated was the GBA, and even then I only basically booted some games up and played for like an hour at most before I got bored.

my only problem with unicorn overlrod is that by the time i reached the tundra i was already starting to get bored and in the 5 continent the only good mission is the final one.

>>713368846
Honestly same
The game just grinds to a halt in terms of fun the moment you enter bastorias
Maybe its just the low after the high that is "prefers human men"zone

As a fag, I'd like them more if they ever bothered to make good looking males.
Their girls are 10/10 but I've yet to see a single fappable man.
>inb4 someone posts the art of the naked dwarves
That's exactly my point. Their males look like shit.

If not a single guy in the wide variety of guys in Unicorn Overlord was your type then I accuse you of being a bifag who is looking for a "draw a girl, call it a boy" character

>>713371213
You see... the problem is that whenever a company caters to fags or other woke shit.... the game don't sell. But they'll keep doing it until the company is bankrupted.

Yes. I think Muramasa is their best work by far and it's a solid 5/10 game. Without the art, literally nobody would give a single fuck about it. It's not even remotely good.

Bullshit, you get a group for dragons crown and its fucking amazing.

so whats the best vanillaware game?
i only played grim grimoire and i kinda liked it

>>713376824
Dragon's Crown is a contender for best couch-op game of its gen

>>713376824
I care about odin sphere and dragon's crown is kino, you dumb bitch

I care about Odin Sphere the most.

>>713329552 (OP)
gameplay wise yes

>>713332634
It's a shame that in order to have the game not take 500 hours to finish, you have to skip animations. Skipping the art, Vanillaware's strong suit. It's too bad nobody thought to themselves "we should rethink how we do this"

>>713329552 (OP)
Their games are just very hit or miss for me. I liked Odin Sphere and UO but couldn't really get into Muramasa and Dragon's Crown. You'd think I would like Muramasa since I like Odin Sphere but something about it just never clicked for me and it felt bland. I did play the Vita version too, not the Wii one. Never played 13 Sentinels since I don't really like tower defense gameplay.

Is there any chance GrimGrimoire gets a Switch 2 port with the S2's mouse mode? If they aren't gonna port it to PC, then could they at least do that. I just want mouse controls for the game, please.

What will it be, bros?
>action-rpg
Dragon Crown bros, we won....

Man, I need games with Oni girls but I can't think of any.

You've got a Twink in the Wizard, a Man's Man in the Dwarf, and somewhere in between with the Fighter. Quit complaining you homo.

just beat odin sphere leifthrasir after putting it off for a long time
actually i started odin sphere like 20 years ago on ps2 and never finished it so i guess even longer
