The Warrior Of Sepia Hue, Aisha

Hii, First of all, I think this game loses a lot because of bad MTL, as I was very lost and didn’t know what to do most of the time. I got stuck in some scenarios and didn’t know how to progress further. Pretty bad VA, but I’ve heard worse. I don’t like their voices, and they also use bad mics. Character design and art are decent. The biggest selling point of this game is the many fetishes it contains, but I don’t think those fetishes were explored well enough, and most scenes were repetetive and quite boring. The story, though clichéd, wasn’t that bad. If you aren't into any hardcore stuff then this game definitely not for you. Have a great day lads:3

This game is really extreme like warned. No happy ending and its just a depressing, horrifying tale of the fall of a proud warrior. Granted, if she used her brain, a lot of this could have been avoided but I digress. Pros: Great art Voice acting for every major character including men The horror is on point The game tries to include as many types of kinks depending on the route…which for better or worse can be a huge turn off if you’re more interested in the story. The “best” ending is very satisfying even if it's still under a bad ending. Getting this ending makes the other endings look bad in comparison by proxy of Aisha not using her brain or her status as a warrior. Cons: There are no good endings. While one is slightly better than all of them, it still is a bad ending. Sometimes, the h-scenes go from 1 to 100 really fast. Like, the prostitution and church scenes are gradual scenes that lead to the most likely end. However, the kitchen scenes and the training ground are so left-field in how it ends that I question how it ended up there outside of shock value. I have a huge problem with how dumb Aisha is as a protagonist. I do not blame her for giving into the sex slave contract, but after that…she doesn’t do anything to try and get out of the situation or figure out the truth of the murder of the prince. If you attempt to ignore going through sex training, the game ends prematurely and you get thrown back into the dungeon. The scenes you get gives you added characterization, but the problem is that Aisha does spend more time feeling sorry for herself instead of actually trying to solve the murder. She doesn’t even check up on her maid. The only time she uses her brain is during the “revenge” ending where when moping about her situation, she stops and thinks about what happened and then it finally clicks. Spoiler: MAJOR STORY SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT I enjoyed the plot twist that Narmith (the guy she has a crush on) is the true villain. However, what I have an issue with is how because Aisha isn’t using her brain, she never puts two and two together about him. Stated early on, she mentions how there aren’t that many people who have been in her room and know where her sword is. By process of elimination, it is limited to three people. Aisha being blinded by love makes sense she wouldn’t stop and think about it, but it also shows how flawed the plan is if she actually spent a day to stop and think about it (like when she was thrown inside the prison and she did nothing but mope). His motive is only revealed in 3 of the 8 endings but karma only hits him in one. [*]The frame up is incredibly bad. Aisha who is respected by the people and the kingdom is ignored in favor of a dubious witness AKA Naira the prostitute who claims she saw the deed committed. If prostitutes are seen as the lowest of people who cannot be trusted, why was she suddenly taken at face value? Khalifa has authority, but to believe his prostitute over Aisha is incredibly bad writing. What would have helped I feel is if we were shown what happened in the ten days Aisha was imprisoned. Were there actual fighting going on? Were those who sided with Aisha killed? What was the excuse told to the people? Why did everyone just accept Aisha was innocent after ten days? How many people were actually involved? [*]I enjoyed the “revenge” ending where Aisha snaps from everything on top of learning the truth and decides to just murder everyone in her quest to get to the culprits of the prince’s murder. Khalifa gets the slow, gruesome murder he deserved. Narmith is chopped to pieces and Naira gets a satisfying death akin to the School’s Day anime ending. This ending becomes a tragedy when Aisha kills her maid during her rampage and she snaps out of her frenzy. Her humanity returns and she is left in the mess of the bloody aftermath. She still dooms herself to hell even if justice was obtained, but the ending leaves her death ambiguous only because she stays in the flames she committed. [*]The true ending is tedious to get and requires you to go to certain places with no hints. Pick the wrong one and it's straight to the prison ending. And it only gives you a little bit of lore and also shows how incompetent the kingdom is without having a strong warrior like Aisha. The current king was stated to be young (but doesn’t sound young) and was easily overtaken by Khalifa and Narmith. How do the other kingdoms react to this extreme change? Do they realize how vulnerable the kingdom is now that it's dedicated to sex instead of training? It’s rather disappointing on all ends because of how it's the opposite of the “revenge” ending and how everything went perfectly for the villains because Aisha didn’t want to do anything but mope. Basically, this game has a more of a shock value than anything else. If you enjoy despair, you can enjoy it, but the game goes above and beyond the guro scenes. It's also random and inconsistent at times. I'm going to wash my eyes out.
