Interesting review on Princess Waltz. Now I’m intrigued about it!

Narg,

I don’t think Cartagra is a series, actually. It only has itself and a fandisc, Nagomibako, which features the “good ending” for the villain in the original game, another “good ending” for a character who always dies in the original game, and a fanservicey sidestory featuring several other Innocent Grey characters.

Pianissimo, Innocent Grey’s second game, isn’t related to Cartagra to my knowledge and doesn’t feature twins. You might want to keep an eye on the heavily-promoted third game from Innocent Grey, Kara No Shoujo, though.

I’m no great fan of twincest myself, but if you did a “twincest special” featuring Cartagra, To Heart 2 XRATED and Kao No Nai Tsuki, I’d be most grateful because it’s exceedingly unlikely any of those titles will be translated by Peach Princess or the like (Hatsune, Koyuki and Seri are all characters that I doubt they could claim to be old enough for age of consent). And when you complete Cartagra’s review, will you use your enthusiasm for the twincest to do a blow-by-blow account of Kazuna’s and Yura’s path? I’ve been dying for good English info about the game since forever!

@Anath: I thought I had Kazoku Keikaku in my closet, but after rummaging all night, I couldn’t find it. Might have traded it to someone without thinking… I’ll keep searching though.
.
@Baldo: Spare the rod, spoil the child? ^_-
.
@Ignosco: There’s a reason why Iris isn’t sexable, but its kinda a spoiler. They didn’t forget to add her… it’s just complicated…
.
@Mazryonh: I’m playing those Cartagra titles, but I’m not quite ready to write reviews for them just yet. Takes me a few weeks to gather the info I need to take a “non-objective” look. I have to kinda simmer down because my first reaction to twins is: “0MG!!! Twincest is Wincest!!! w00t!111!111! 9000 get! 9000 gets!”
.
@Ein: Yea. I always find the single route thing a negative too. The quality jump (or rather detail jump) between the in-game images and the cinematic illustrations, is noticeable but not unusual. Many eroge put more attention on the CG’s than they do paper dolls. In this particular case however, this issue can be forgiven due to the “dynamic use” of actual movement and huge variety of facial expressions/body changes.

Hmm,your review surprised me,not once I’ve ever thought that Princess Waltz is such a superior title.The game that I’ve been waiting for is Kazoku keikaku,and I just hope the queue will reach it soon.Now I guess I have another title to wait for,altough I must complain about 2 things:
1.The chara design sucks,the prime reason I’ve never consider it to be a masterpiece.What’s up with the gap between the sprites and the cg anyway,the difference is as clear as day and night
2.One storyline.Ever17 was superb,but with only one end possible,it only makes me crave for more

Wait,Iris isn’t sexable?Then makes that three,Iris and angela has the best looks,they should kick that megane

Good work here. Hopefully the translation from Peach Princess will arrive soon.

But I thought you’d give your “full attention” to Cartagra and all of its “twincestuous glory”! How far along are you with the game, anyhow? Its Title Screen them and Credits song are among the best I’ve heard in an eroge myself.

Thanks for the excellent review - Princess Waltz looks even better than I was expecting. But… Iris isn’t sexable :(.

Excellent review and excellent game, even if I’m now sure that I will NOT buy this one (in 2008, at least).
The fact is that I would like to have MORE “control over progression of the plot”, even if the plot itself rocks, and, in addition, I’m addicted to the fantastic card battle system of Kikaijikake No Eve - Dea Ex Machina (which is also playable as an independent game), Princess Waltz’s can’t compare.
However, hey, I’m speaking like a typical, SPOILED Japanese erogamer with too many H-games, the starved gaijin erogamers desperately needed a game like Princess Waltz, which, rest assured, has Baldo’s Seal Of Approval.

Thanks for the review! It’s nice to see a review for an eroge that has the (soon-to-be) option of an English translation on here. I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to get this before, but this looks quite worth purchasing.

On a side note, are you thinking of reviewing Kazoku Keikaku as well? That seems to be another quality eroge to be released soon in the US.
