Fantasia The Realm of Thanos
Description: Fantasia The Realm of Thanos Fantasia: The Realm of Thanos Review
Fantasia The Realm of Thanos is predominantly a visual novel but there are some dating sim elements added to the story to make things a little more interesting and a lot less linear. As with other visual novels, Fantasia has multiple endings depending on the choices that you make throughout the story. In my opinion, visual novels are better than actual novels as the story can change in an instant and its not predetermined by the author which makes things more exciting for the reader.
Being as this is a visual novel, users need not to worry about the game taking a chunk off your hard drive to download. Its only 60MB large so this shouldnt really hinder anybodys computer hard drive. Although as aforementioned, this is a visual novel so all you mainly see are the characters, the picture background and the text at the bottom.
I wasnt sure what the story was about at first nor did I know who the main character was. I chose to play the game using my own name. Little did I know was that the main character turned out to be little a high school girl. If youre planning to play Fantasia, dont make the same mistake as I did and choose a girls name. Its rather awkward playing the game with a mans name.
I found out later her that default name is Cheryl so we will stick with that name from now on. Cheryl may seem like an ordinary young girl judging by her appearance but she has been depressed for the past three years. This is because she lost both her parents in a horrific plane crash. Whenever she sees her friends with their families, she envies how happy they are together.
A mysterious figure dubbed The White Lady suddenly appears and understands the type of pain Cheryl is currently experiencing. She comes from an outside world called Fantasia and Fantasia is in need of saving from an evil force called Thanos. She feels Cheryl has the key to saving Fantasia as the keys to saving Fantasia are inside people who have feel a similar pain to Cheryl. In order to set the keys free, she must fall in love with one of the four men in Fantasia suffering from pain.
This is easier said than done as the four men in the game arent the usual guys seen in other dating sim games. They all have shady backgrounds and are guilty of a lot of sins. Its up to you to try and understand the sort of pain they are going through and help them out as best you can. In total, there are 15 different endings in the game so its best to play the game more than once if you want to see them all. You choices will affect the outcome of the characters and if you have to make the right decisions if you want to see the best endings the game has to offer.
If youre too lazy to find out the best outcomes yourself, there are helpful walkthroughs available online if you dont feel like playing the game 15 times. Thankfully, the game has a save mode so you may not have to start the game from the absolute beginning if you seek a different outcome. You can just load your last game and start over that way.
Although the game offers no voice overs, Fantasia, The Realm of Thanos has an excellent soundtrack. The music changes often depending on the mood of the story. The epic battle theme is one to listen out for when a battle ensues between two of the characters you meet start fighting. I am not going to spoil it for you but lets just say these two characters really hate each other which results in an awesome scene in the entire game.
Graphically, I feel the character models need a little work to make them look a little more professional. Some of the characters eyes look the same and they all have similar hairstyles. Cheryl is the best looking character in the entire game. Maybe the illustrator is better at drawing girls than guys perhaps?
If you want to experience an unpredictable yet riveting story, look no further than Fantasia, The Realm of Thanos. The game offers a lot of replay value and offers a unique experience that traditional text based novels cannot offer. That is including multiple endings and having the reader choose the decisions for the main character.
