  • Fuga Melodies of Steel is a game that is going to need all the help it can get! A cute but also harrowing story set in a re-imagined WWII landscape where a bunch of furry children roam the country in a massive tank fighting back against their Berman oppressors!
    The third part in the Little Tail Bronx franchise and the 1st in what Cyberconnect has dubbed "The Trilogy of Vengeance" this game sets the bar very high for what's to follow!

    I’ve come back to this video so many times now. I love this game! I’m currently in chapter 9 of my first playthrough. Regarding the requirements to get the true ending, from what I can tell they actually went back and patched in some QoL features, letting you know you’re going to want to rank up your affinity with this character, as well as adding a “Retry Mode” available after beating the game, which essentially acts as a New Game+ except you start back at chapter 7 instead of the very beginning.

    • @TarksGauntlet
      @TarksGauntlet  Год назад +2

      That's rad as hell! Glad they addressed this. I'll pin this comment to the top so hopefully others will see it. Thanks for the update!

      @@TarksGauntlet Oh man, thanks for the pin! Yeah, it's a fantastic update. I'm really glad they're clearly listening to feedback and making fixes and improvements where they feel it helps. Also among the updates are things like being able to check what materials you need for Taranis facilities when you're at shop in towns between chapters, so you no longer have to rely on guesswork or writing things down.
      EDIT: Just beat the game and can confirm the pinned comment is true! It also explicitly tells you exactly what you need to do to get the true ending. Carried over into Retry Mode are all character levels and Taranis upgrades, and even items and resources, best I can tell, and even expedition locations. Additionally, characters who had died are all brought back to life AND given a level boost to make the trip back through the game even easier.

    Fuga is incredibly underrated, took a chance on this game since this is CyberConnect really trying to step out into their own, and what a good game it is. I can't wait for the other two games in these thematic trilogy.

    I absolutely loooovvved Tail Concerto back in the day. I even started watching the cutscenes a couple weeks ago, to get back all those feels. I sadly missed out on Solotorobo :/ I didn't have a DS when it came out. However I came across a Noisy Pixel review of this game and just about fell over in excitement! I am so glad they are keeping this series alive. The art style and absolute love that they pour into these is just such a joy to play. Really glad to hear that it turned out well. Amazing and thorough review as always!
    Also as a professional video editor I just want to say that your vids have been progressively getting snazzier. Love it! Love the title template animations and cuts for comedy. The "heh" cut was hilarious. Keep up the good work ya filthy motha-FUGA (I think it works haha)

    I'm a big fan of CyberConnect, and it makes me so happy that they're getting to continue their passion project.
    This is the first Little Tail Bronx series game to be available on platforms with digital distribution, so it has a much higher sales "ceiling" than previous titles, since it isn't limited by print runs and will basically be perpetually available to new interested players!

    I really liked this game! I was initially turned off because of the difficulty but i read some helpful tips online. Basically boiled down to 'employ a buddy system at the beginning and have the characters max out their affinity with their buddies as soon as possible in the early game' second piece of advise is accrue and save link attacks with as many pairs as you can for the boss fights'

    Before, I never understand furries, but after meeting Flam Kish, I felt things. She's hot...yeah. Anyway, I love what they did with Fuga, especially with the art direction, OST (by Chikayo Fukuda baby), and COMBAT mechanics. They made it so damn fun to play! Though they definitely should add save options, more gameplay variety, and improving the AP management as well as the affinity system. Also, I achieved the true ending on my 1st playthrough through sheer luck hahaha. Overall, its 8.9./10 for me. Definitely would recommend. (My favourite OST got to be "Flower on the Trails"!)

      I've heard from people in my discord they still can't get it there. Not sure what's going on as they seem to have resolved the other issues already, but where this is their first self-published title I wouldn't be surprised if all the ducks weren't quite in a row for that launch yet.
      Sucks too, cause the series is way more popular there than it is here.

    Characters being injured ore depressed is a lot rarer then you make it out to be. You dont have to spend AP that often to cure that.
    Spoiler alert:
    I did not get the true ending which resultets in a forced Soul canon use at the end.
    The funny thing is I choose not my least favorit character. I choose my favorit character going out as a heroine.
