Black wolves saga

I‘ve decided to write my opinion about Black Wolves Saga, because sometimes I feel like it‘s not getting all the recognition it deserves. I still remember my feelings after completing it: I was empty, shocked, confused. I enjoyed every character, even the the bad ones!

Mejojo is so arrogant, cruel, full of himself. He truly has no heart, nor pity for anyone: all that matters to him is revenge, and he doesn‘t hesitate to kill and destroy everything that bothers him. He‘s so obsessed by his past, that he lost every kind of empathy or affection. He loves to see people suffer and the only person he somehow cares about is his brother…just because he‘s even worse than him.

Auger is a true psycho. He seems weaker than Mejojo, because he doesn‘t need to be in the spotlight to prove his absolute power, but he can commit the worst crimes just to entertain himself. He‘s a liar, a sadist, and also a betrayer.

The poor heroine had to suffer any kind of humiliation, she was even marked and tortured until she had no will to live. She has seen her family members die, her city destroyed…. without any chance to do something at all. She could just watch everything she loved being shattered for no reason in front of her, and all that remained was just a useless, empty life without love, even worse than death. She knew that nobody truly cared about her, because she was just a pawn in Mejojo‘s twisted game: in the end, after losing everything, she lost herself too.

Julian‘s route was a bit better, at least the endings were kind of good… even if terrible moments were everywhere, and also the last scenario was quite creepy. His mind is broken, even if he tries to regain indipendence… but what happened in the past, has probably ruined him forever.

The cat‘s clan was obviously the most painful to play, so after that I took a deep breath and hoped to see something less traumatizing.

I‘ve started playing the Wolves clan from the king, Arles. He carried on himself so much guilt, despair, pain, but also the hope of the survivors, who looked up at him as the only one who could rescue them for the sure death. I was impressed to see that all the tragedy and pain that shattered this race became also their strenght to build a unite clan, full of trust on their leader, where sometimes there was also time to laugh and find a little moment of happiness. They were not blinded by all the hate that surrounded them, but they were still open to accept Fiona as a member of the family, to protect and respect. I wish I could see some more cute moments between Arles and Fiona, at least in the end… I really want to see them happy!

Rath‘s melancholy was really different from all the other character‘s attitude: he just seemed to be waiting for death, probably because of his illness. I really wished his route was longer, but there were too many common parts I could skip… I hope the FD will give him more space, he deserves it.

Guillame‘s route had the same problem, it ended too soon, just when I was about to get interested in him. I admit Ididn‘t like him at first, his attitude was kinda arrogant, but he‘s a good person after all. (let‘s ignore the cannibalism part in the ending).

I’ve played the famous siscon Nesso next, and he was the character I was interested in the most since the beginning.  His route was surprisingly funny, there were less yandere moments than I expected. He was so straightforward with his love for Fiona, without even try to hide it, that it seemed entertaining more than shocking! He was actually nice, more than creepy.

Zara just kept making fun of him in his route, and that wass even better! I just wish also his route was a bitlonger: he’s a great pharmacist, not only a butler… he deserved more recognition for his work.

Anyway, there’s no doubt for me that this game is almost perfect…. in a creepy way. I absolutely loved it, and I’d recommend it to anyone. I still have to play the FD, even if going back to PSP is not that easy…. but I will, this games deserves it. The plot is amazing, some revelations are shocking, the characters are really interesting, the sadness makes you cry multiple times… this is not a “simple otoge”, this is a masterpiece. It’s one of my all time favourite game, and one of the few must play: I think every person who likes this genre should try it, just to see how great Rejet can be when it does his job in the right way. Of course, this is not for fragile people who look for simple and nice love stories, but for those who are tired to see love and hearts everywhere and want to try something sadder but original. This will blow your mind.

Just be ready, or it will destroy your soul!
