A Japanese visual novel that consists of two parts: Muv-Luv Extra, a high school romcom, and Muv-Luv Unlimited, a sequel story that takes place in a darker alternate timeline.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Muv-Luv is a <a href="/visual-novel/3015-2029/" data-ref-id="3015-2029">visual novel</a> developed and published in 2003 by <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/age/3010-8103/" data-ref-id="3010-8103">Age</a> that has since become a large franchise spawning several sequels, spin-offs and adaptations into other media. The title was originally released for the PC as an eroge but an "all-ages" edition was created in 2006, which removed all the adult content, and was later ported to the <a href="/xbox-360/3045-20/" data-ref-id="3045-20">Xbox 360</a>, and <a href="/playstation-3/3045-35/" data-ref-id="3045-35">PlayStation 3</a> and the <a href="/playstation-vita/3045-129/" data-ref-id="3045-129">PlayStation Vita</a> by <a href="/5pb/3010-6483/" data-ref-id="3010-6483">5pb</a>. A direct sequel named <a href="/muv-luv-alternative/3030-36832/" data-ref-id="3030-36832">Muv-Luv Alternative</a> was also released in 2006 for the PC and other platforms.</p><h2>English Release</h2><p>Age's copyright holder, <a href="http://ixtl.jp/" rel="nofollow">Ixtl</a>, and <a href="/degica/3010-9737/" data-ref-id="3010-9737">Degica</a>, publisher of the <a href="/rpg-maker/3025-865/" data-ref-id="3025-865">RPG Maker</a> series in the West, launched a <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/muvluv/muv-luv-a-pretty-sweet-visual-novel-series/description" rel="nofollow">Kickstarter</a> on September 24, 2015 to fund the localization of both Muv-Luv and its sequel, Muv-Luv Alternative. The Kickstarter began with a goal of 250,000 dollars but managed to raise over a million by the end of its 40 day campaign, funding all of the campaign's stretch goals while also becoming the most successful crowd funded visual novel project in Kickstarter's history.</p><p>After the campaign, Muv-Luv was released for the PC on <a href="/steam/3015-718/" data-ref-id="3015-718">Steam</a> as an "all-ages" title on July 14, 2016 with the original uncensored content being made available through a "Director's Cut" patch released on November 25th for an additional purchase. The game's English script used the fan translation previously crated by <a href="http://amaterasu.tindabox.net/index.php" rel="nofollow">Amaterasu Translations</a> as a base for the official localization, although the script was extensively edited and re-translated. Degica's release also contained several improvements over the original PC trilogy including HD assets from the console releases and an updated game engine.</p><p>In the December of 2017, Degica announced that they had fulfilled their role in the Kickstater and were transferring the rights to the English versions of Muv-Luv back to Ixtl. This transition lead to the Muv-Luv titles being taken off of Steam for a number on months before they were relaunched on February 28, 2018 with <a href="/sekai-project/3010-10090/" data-ref-id="3010-10090">Sekai Project</a> serving as their publisher. Eventually the PlayStation Vita ports of Muv-Luv were also released by <a href="/pqube/3010-6964/" data-ref-id="3010-6964">pQube</a> in North America and Europe in June of 2018.</p><h2>Story</h2><p>Mu-Luv is separated into two chapters: Muv-Luv Extra and Muv-Luv Unlimited. The game begins with Extra with Unlimited being unlocked after the player completes the two main routes in Extra.</p><h3>Muv-Luv Extra</h3><p>Muv-Luv Extra takes place in modern-day <a href="/japan/3035-37/" data-ref-id="3035-37">Japan </a>where the player navigates the game through the eyes of <a href="/takeru-shirogane/3005-25291/" data-ref-id="3005-25291">Takeru Shirogane</a>, a third-year student in Hakuryou High School.

This situation enrages Takeru's childhood friend, Sumika Kagami, and a series of comedic adventures ensues as the two girls compete with each other while Shirogane tries to decide who he truly cares about.</p><h3>Muv-Luv Unlimited</h3><p>Muv-Luv Unlimited begins with the player waking up in an alternate timeline where extraterrestrials called BETA invaded the earth in the 70s.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Muv-Luv Alternative is a science fiction <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/visual-novel/3015-2029/" data-ref-id="3015-2029">visual novel</a> developed by Age as part of its <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/muv-luv/3025-2821/" data-ref-id="3025-2821">Muv-Luv</a> franchise. Originally published for Windows computers in 2006 with both <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/eroge/3015-4955/" data-ref-id="3015-4955">eroge</a> and non-explicit versions, it later received ports for the <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/xbox-360/3045-20/" data-ref-id="3045-20">Xbox 360</a>, <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/playstation-3/3045-35/" data-ref-id="3045-35">PlayStation 3</a> and <a href="/playstation-vita/3045-129/" data-ref-id="3045-129">PlayStation Vita</a> that were published by <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/5pb/3010-6483/" data-ref-id="3010-6483">5pb</a>. <a href="/degica-games/3010-9737/" data-ref-id="3010-9737">Degica Games</a> eventually released an English version of Muv-Luv Alternative, thanks to a successful <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/muvluv/muv-luv-a-pretty-sweet-visual-novel-series/description" rel="nofollow">Kickstarter</a> campaign, for the PC on September 18, 2017. The English version of Alternative was also released for the Vita by <a href="/pqube/3010-6964/" data-ref-id="3010-6964">pQube</a> in Europe and North America in June of 2018.</p><h2>Story</h2><p>Muv-Luv Alternative is a retelling of the events that occurred in <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/muv-luv/3030-36904/" data-ref-id="3030-36904">Muv-Luv Extra</a> and <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/muv-luv/3030-36904/" data-ref-id="3030-36904">Muv-Luv Unlimited</a>. As the erstwhile protagonist of the previous games, <a href="/takeru-shirogane/3005-25291/" data-ref-id="3005-25291">Takeru Shirogane</a>, the player begins the game in the exact same way as Muv-Luv Unlimited started: Waking up in an alternate timeline where the human race is locked in a desperate battle against alien invaders. However, the Shirogane still retains his memories of the events that occurred in Muv-Luv Unlimited and sets himself to the task of changing what he knows will be humanity's doomed future.</p><h2>Trivia</h2><ul><li>The creator of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Titan" rel="nofollow">Attack on Titan</a>, Hajime Isayama, has stated in interviews that Muv-Luv Alternative served as a major influence on the now hugely popular manga series. Isayama stated that, "Although I was watching manga and movies normally like anyone else, [Alternative] was the the first time I thought I could actually be killed by the creator of a work of fiction. Being impacted by such a malicious attitude, as if I too had been killed, I was driven by an impulse of wanting to launch something with a strong impact into society, or wanting to destroy something. I realized that impulse was what I wanted to do." <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2014/eren_yeager?page=2013" rel="nofollow">[1]</a></li><li>Muv-Luv Alternative is infamous for its Engrish voice acting during the game's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbdVfJGRbfw" rel="nofollow">opening credits sequence</a> where English speaking soldiers, being voiced by Japanese actors, are investigating a BETA stronghold. However, when Alternative was localized by Degica Games in 2017 the introduction was completely re-recorded by native English speakers with dialogue that was closer to the original Japanese subtitles.

Runbow Pocket
Runbow Pocket Deluxe Edition
Runbow Deluxe Edition

A crazy 9-player simultaneous multiplayer platformer game about running through color-changing levels creating/removing platforms and a level editor. If the level background changes, platforms in that same color disappear.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Up to nine players can play Runbow simultaneously. In an asymmetric mode, one player can control the Color Master who has the power to change the colors of the background manually while the others play the game as usual. Various modes like Last Man Standing and King of the Hill are supported.</p><h2>Control Options</h2><p>The support for 9 players is reached via a unique method of utilizing Wii Remotes, Nunchuks and Classic Controllers in a clever way that allows the game to be played by people using the Wii Remote that is tethered to a Nunchuk or a Classic Controller as an independent input device. This also allows the game to be played by using just a Nunchuk while the other player uses the Wii Remote connected to that Nunchuk sideways. The Wii U Pro Controller is also supported.</p><h2>Deluxe Editions</h2><p>Physical releases of Runbow and Runbow Pocket, titled Runbow Deluxe Edition and Rubow Pocket Deluxe Edition, include the full game plus DLC.</p><p> </p>

Similar to Delphine's earlier title <a href="/out-of-this-world/3030-17483/" data-ref-id="3030-17483">Out of This World</a>, Flashback is notable for its use of <a href="/rotoscoping/3015-1249/" data-ref-id="3015-1249">rotoscoped</a> animation, allowing for a visually fluid representation of the characters' various movements.</p><p>The game was first released on floppy diskette for the Amiga, a home computer popular in Delphine's native France; it was eventually ported to MS-DOS, <a href="/super-nintendo-entertainment-system/3045-9/" data-ref-id="3045-9">Super NES</a>, <a href="/genesis/3045-6/" data-ref-id="3045-6">Genesis</a>, Atari <a href="/jaguar/3045-28/" data-ref-id="3045-28">Jaguar</a> and the <a href="/acorn-archimedes/3045-125/" data-ref-id="3045-125">Acorn Archimedes</a> the following year.

Conrad jumps onto a <a href="/hoverbike/3055-6036/" data-ref-id="3055-6036">hoverbike</a> and temporarily evades his assailants; however, a much larger transport soon gives chase and quickly blasts Conrad's vehicle out of the sky.

It becomes apparent he has no memory of events prior to the chase. Upon awakening he notices that he knocked a cube-shaped object off a ledge and sets out to retrieve it. The cube contains a message recorded by the protagonist before he lost his memory. He gives no clues as to what has happened but tells him to seek out his friend Ian who is located in New Washington. Conrad then proceeds to take on the dangers of this jungle to find Ian. After battling enemies in the form of robots and mutants with other obstacles such as turrets and strange fires Conrad eventually comes across a hole in the ground that acts as an entrance to New Washington. An old man who sits near this hole trades an Anti-G Belt that negates the effects of gravity to some extent, for some credits allowing Conrad access to his next location.</p><p>A short while after arriving in New Washington Conrad discovers Ian being held by a couple of New Washington Police Officers. After battling these men off Ian places Conrad in a machine that recovers his memories. It is revealed that Conrad had discovered a race of aliens was blending in with the human population on Earth in large quantity implying an eventual take over of the planet. His revelation had caught the attention of this alien race who would try to assassinate him. After they failed the first time it prompted Conrad to record the Holo-Cube message found earlier in the game and to send a copy of his memories to Ian. The game's manual would also explain that the alien race is called Morphs and killed Conrad's girlfriend. One night the aliens finally captured Conrad and took him aboard their ship. On this night they erased his memory but failed to secure him as Conrad would awaken and flee his captures, leading to what was witnessed at the beginning of the game.</p><h3>Employment</h3><p>With his memories restored Conrad decides he needs to return to Earth. With little money however, this was never going to be as easy as it sounds. Ian suggests that Conrad should take part in a TV Show where he must fight Cyborgs for a chance to win a ticket to Earth. As it would be too dangerous to compete under his own name Conrad has to get false ID papers. Ian sends him to a contact named Jack, who demands 1,500 credits for the papers. Since he doesn't have that sort of cash on hand Conrad partakes in multiple odd jobs available in New Washington.</p><p>First he is hired by Titan Spaces Lines for an apparently easy job of collecting and delivering a parcel. Just outsides the parcels destination he is attacked by a member of the NWPD but overcomes him and delivers the package.</p><p>The second mission comes from Virtual Crop that requests Conrad escort a VIP to their research center. It is made clear that the mission will require a firearm ad the area traveled in will be dangerous. The warning is well advised since mutants infest the area in addition to malfunctioning Security Spheres. Like previously though Conrad succeeds.</p><p>Titan TV hires Conrad for the third mission. They report that a Model Cy-Borg 2.1 has escaped with the possible assistance of an outsider. It carries a virus which could spread to all other functioning cyborgs. A police officer informs Conrad that the Cy-Borg wants to make a deal. This turns out to be a trap however and Conrad kills the Police Officer for access to 2.1’s lair. Once in his hideout Conrad eliminates 2.1.</p><p>The penultimate New Washington mission is accomplished for Titan Senior Advisory Board. Sabotage to the generator that supplies power to New Washington means the city is on the verge of blowing up. Conrad has 90 seconds to locate the sabotaged area and repair it. With only seconds left Conrad repairs the generator and saves New Washington.</p><p>With only one mission required to gain the necessary credits for the false papers, another party hires Conrad to eliminate the mutant threat that is lurking in all the Restricted Areas. After accomplishing this task Conrad meets Jack one more time who now hands over the papers allowing entry into the game show.</p><p>The game show of requires participants to fight their way through eight different levels of deadly situations. Littered throughout every level are Cy-Borg 2.1s, Sentry Spheres and mines. Conrad manages to fight through all levels and win a ticket to Earth.</p><h3>Back on Earth</h3><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/6763/462603-s_flashback_7.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-462603" data-size="small" data-ratio="0.6765625" data-width="640" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 640px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:67.7%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/6763/462603-s_flashback_7.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-462603"><img alt="Earth" src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/0/6763/462603-s_flashback_7.jpg" srcset="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/6763/462603-s_flashback_7.jpg 640w, https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_medium/0/6763/462603-s_flashback_7.jpg 480w, https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/0/6763/462603-s_flashback_7.jpg 320w" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320"></a><figcaption>Earth</figcaption></figure><p>Conrad believes The Morphs have a hidden base within a night club on Earth but upon arrival is attacked by the local law enforcement and security measures. After some time he locates the nightclub. He breaks in through an upper level thus causing more security measures to become active making his job of finding the Morphs more complicated.</p><p>After much tribulation Conrad finds himself in a vent shaft above a group of Morphs that are discussing their plans. They reveal that soon their invasion will begin since millions of their kind are ready to teleport in and destroy humanity. Conrad’s vent then proceeds to collapse under his weight and he is discovered. It is decided that he will be thrown into the dungeon with plans for interrogation.</p><p>After he wakes up in his cell Conrad discovers he is unarmed and that Cy-Borgs have been sent to his cell to carry out the interrogation. Unexpectedly though Conrad makes a quick burst for the door and evades the Cy-Borgs. Luckily enough his gun was not too far away and he is able to destroy his would-be interrogators. Further into their lair Conrad finally confronts the Morphs in combat. With their ability to take and lose shape whenever they want Conrad has a difficult time but overcomes everyone he meets. With the realization that the Morph invasion is close with no time to report it, Conrad teleports to the Morph home planet with the intention of stopping their conquest.</p><p>On the planet Conrad tries to assist a human prisoner who is in possession of explosives. Unfortunately the man is killed by a Morph upon his release but lives long enough to give Conrad the destructive device. Conrad discovers a diary on the planet that reveals a captive human scientist managed to enter the theory of molecular research into a Titan computer. This theory was taken up by Conrad who made glasses revealing the aliens living among the human population. It is also revealed that The Master Brain, positions at the center of the planet, controls all morphs, destroying him will end the race.
