Critic Reviews for VED
VED may have a unique hand-drawn art style and challenging combat mechanics, but the story and writing leave much to be desired.
VED isn't a bad game, it's just not a very good one, either, and never quite manages to find its stride.
VED is full of gorgeous graphics and hosts a decent combat system, even if its story and characters do not come together in a satisfying manner.
If you like visual novels with a mixture of simple gameplay, wrapped in beautiful graphics and a fairly interesting story, you should give VED a chance, but don't expect rich RPG elements.

VED delivers a beautiful look, but little more than that. Despite the functional combat, the narrative is exceptionally confusing and poor. And, with that, he manages to make the title totally lost.

VED has an interesting premise both for the storyline and for the gameplay mechanics. Sadly, the story suffers from poor pacing and inconsistencies. It really feels like the game would benefit from being a slightly longer adventure, not an 8-hour one, but I suppose the developers have to draw the line at some point. Poor voice acting and somewhat repetitive, if well-drawn, art also let the game down for its world-building. One thing you can't fault VED on, however, is how it runs on the Steam Deck. It provides an essentially flawless experience with great battery life, even on the highest settings. Controller support is also top-notch here.
VED is a game split right down the middle in almost every way. Awkward, often confusing dialogue that interferes with the story’s clarity, as well as a lack of cohesion between the two game worlds makes up the weaker half. In contrast, VED has an inventive and challenging turn-based combat system, rich world design, and excellent art direction. Unfortunately, a game is the sum of it’s parts, no matter how they are sliced.
