Early game spoilers? If not, yes I will skip it. I thought the intro for Deception was good in that regard.

Early game spoilers for sure, since I'm eight hours in and I just realized something from the intro spoiled me. There are a few other tidbits that I'm sure will be spoilers for the mid/end game.

I've already started on it ✌️
It was on sale @ Amazon like a week ago, not anymore though.

I finally plat'd the game.
The dream matchs were a nice challenge but I wish there were more of them.
Overall I like this game a lot! I didn't expect to grow attached to the tactical RPG gameplay but I found it very well made. There isn't much depth but it's fun to hit QTE for critical.
My only regret is that I watched the anime before playing the game... Even if there are a lot of differences, I already knew most of the story. I saw someone saying that it would be better to watch the anime first, so I assumed the game was some kind of sequel to the anime...
That didn't stop me from getting all emotional at the end but yea... a bit disappointed... At least I won't make the same mistake with the second game.
I pre ordered it as soon as finished this one, I'm very eager to know what's next!

What you saw was people recommending that you watch the anime adaptation of Utawarerumono 1 first!
This is the second game in the series, with the third releasing Tuesday.

Well fuck me then x)
I didn't want to know too much... Oh well, next time I'll ask
I'd like to say 35%, maybe more.
Ah feels about right, doesn't seem like the main plot has started really. Have to say the first anime and this game seems worlds apart. The anime didn't take long to get started on the plot but Mask of Deception puts all its energy into its cast of characters.
Also got Ururu and Saraana now.
Kinda feel dumb I never guessed they were the mysterious duo. Sigh!

Can these sites stop giving visual novels to people who are obviously more happy playing straight action games?

There's a few already, actually
You find things like this: (Ign Spain)
Funny thing is, the same extract in spanish, and how is actually written on the site, is like this :
If you understand spanish, that blackened sentence could be perfectly written by a 12 year old.
Now, I'm not usually the type to bother with reviews, but with special cases like this one, I don't see what's the point in giving the review to someone that clearly doesn't like the genre (or doesn't even understand it); his opinion not only isn't useful for someone that likes the genre, like me; it isn't useful for someone that might be interested in knowing more about the genre, considering that the reviewer doesn't know what he's talking about really.

That and stop giving people sequels to review when they haven't even played the first game in a heavily story focused series. Same shit with the Kiseki series, where people didn't play the first game in an arc and went to SC or CS2 and half their review was wondering wtf was going on. You'd know if you bothered to play the first game.
Probably the easiest way for me to immediately write off your review.
I got to admit, I am surprised they gave it a 6/10 after reading the review. I was expecting under a 5.

Sorry got nothing, my brain barely works right now.
Thanks for the heads up. Downloading right now. I think I will play the first twenty minutes or so and then sleep.

Damm this brought a smile to my face.
The game is 3,3 gb on the vita, which I think is close to 1gb more compared to Mask Of Deception. With my internet speed I think I'm not playing it today. Stealth edit

Perfect, especially considering a certain masked character in the game.

I'm not even going to give that a click.
She's my favourite character right now.
