New to the Utawarerumono series, Monochrome Mobius Rights and Wrongs Forgotten pkg follows Oshtor who, after learning that his deceased father is alive and well, embarks on a journey to an unknown country in search of the truth.
Overview
The game’s strength lies in its world-building. Focusing on Oshtor’s youthful adventures as he unravels the mysteries of his homeland, the narrative delves into the political intricacies and ancient histories that shape the “Utawarerumono” saga. The characters, especially the enigmatic Shunya, are well-developed, offering a blend of familiar archetypes and fresh perspectives. The core mystery surrounding the Arva Kamuy and the nature of the world provides a compelling drive, pushing players to explore and uncover hidden truths.
However, “Monochrome Mobius” suffers from pacing issues. The initial chapters feel slow, burdened by lengthy exposition and a gradual introduction to the gameplay mechanics. While this allows for a thorough establishment of the setting, it can test the patience of players eager for more immediate action. The combat, while functional and engaging in its strategic depth, sometimes feels repetitive, particularly during the early stages of the game.
Visually, the game is a mixed bag. The character designs, true to the “Utawarerumono” aesthetic, are vibrant and expressive. The environments, however, can feel somewhat generic, lacking the visual flair that would truly bring the world to life. The soundtrack, on the other hand, is a highlight, effectively capturing the emotional tone of the narrative and enhancing the overall atmosphere.
