Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth Reviews
Mask of Truth ramps up the stakes and excitement of combat and delivera loads of meaty plot twists and character development.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth continues the trend of the first game and improves upon its combat.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth is a great game for those who have played Mask of Deception, however, isn't entirely suited for new players.
The game's lengthy scenes and repeated statements can feel more like padding on the game's runtime which makes Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth feel redundant at times, but the conclusion of the story will not disappoint the ones who have stuck with it this far. If you are a fan of visual novels that have elements of the SRPG genre, then very few games do it better than the Utawarerumono series, you won't be disappointing.
A worthy conclusion and a fantastic follow up to Mask of Deception that is a must play for visual novel fans on Vita.
All and all this is a great continuation of a great series. Even though the game is long you will not feel like your time is wasted. Not many visual novels can match up to the Utawarerumono series and after playing the games we can definitely understand why.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth is a beautiful conclusion to a 14-year long narrative. While it still has its flaws, it is a journey worth seeing through to the end.
This has been a very enjoyable game to play and strongly recommend a play. Even if you’ve never played a JRPG before like me.
When you hear a one-off story getting a sequel over 10 years after release, it almost feels worrying as to what they may bring to the table especially because the original was so beloved. For this series to come back with a sequel that's just as good as the original is absolutely fantastic. As far as trilogies go, this might have become one of my favorites. Ever.
Mask of Truth takes what Mask of Deception‘s second half had finally started to do and gives the characters and story the telling they deserve.
A rich, thrilling adventure with memorable characters and a complex, mesmerising narrative.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth brings closure to a story fifteen years in the making, delivering one of the best japanese trilogies of the last few years.
