Interestingly, since this game is set before Lost Eden, none of the characters have previously met Kino so the game essentially “resets” everything that happened in his route & starts again. I also appreciated that only Azusa (and perhaps Subaru) are the only nice characters when they have none of their former memories.

Since he’s not a do-S character, I’m convinced that the creators like to make us SUFFER in other ways. I may be bias but Azusa’s route was hands-down my favourite from the game – it was very different to most of the other routes & actually had me in tears (which is lowkey embarassing to admit).

His ending in particular was more in-line with his personality. I was highly disappointed with Carla’s route in Lost Eden but thankfully his route in this game was far better. I enjoyed watching the triplets try to get along & really liked his ending also. However, Chaos Lineage actually bucks the trend and I firmly believe that this was Kanato’s best route outside of the original game. Overall, this game offered almost “alternate” endings to those in Dark Fate, with many left pretty open-ended.Īs a Kanato fan, I have been pretty disappointed by many of his routes in recent games. Scarlet was especially fun because Reiji is definitely a great leader.Īll of the character routes were generally of (at least) good standard so I won’t be speaking about all of them individually but will talk about a couple that I felt were particularly enjoyable and/or notable. I liked the violet family best but all three of them were actualy pretty good. Having grouped the characters into 3 different families, this leads to a lot of fun & often the characters make comments about each other that are very funny when you consider their “true” relationships. I think that this is okay for a full-priced game given just how many characters there are but if you don’t then it would be worth waiting to see if the game drops in price a little over time. All of the routes took me between 1.5-2 hours to read each, leading to a total play-time of just under 20 hours. I also read some reviews where people have mentioned that they felt the routes were very short. Although the trope of “characters lose their memories” seems pretty generic, it was actually kind of fun and was definitely interesting to see how far the guys have come. I’m going to talk about the positives of this game first, starting with the character routes themselves. While “Chaos Lineage” could easily be a phrase used to describe that actual timeline of the series, this game actually takes place during the latter part of Dark Fate.

I should probably admit here that I was totally wrong about this game – I thought it was going to be a fandisc but in actual fact it’s a fully-fledged main game in the series. With all the players set, this deadly game of survival begins, will Yui & the guys ever get their memories back so they can return to their own world? My Thoughts The key to this is the legendary “Sleeping Princess” called Eve whom will, the legend foretells, appear in the church one day. The families have been locked in a battle to the death in order to decide who will become the “Supreme Ruler”. Inside the fake world, the guys are seperated into three families – Orange, Scarlet & Violet. To test the pair’s love is true, he decides to trap all of the guys & Yui in a world that he has created, as well as wiping all of their memories. However, his longtime friend & chess partner Socrates isn’t quite convinced that Karlheinz’s chosen Adam & Eve are up to the task. After countless failed attempts, Karlheinz finally thinks that his “Eden Project” has been sucessful and begins to make plans to bequeath his powers to his sucessor & fade from existence.
