Previous work: Flash of Aries (EN Blazing Aries)
Gameplay
Note: The game is rather text heavy and quite a bit is put into the story, world and side characters. Until the translation is available, a decent understanding of japanese is recommended.
-The gameplay is similar to their previous work; a top-down combat RPG with combo and counter mechanics (gamepad support available and is recommended).
-New Game+ is present as well as an Ability shop to use your achievement/trophy points on.
-Notable changes from their previous work is the addition of gunplay and skill slot swapping (Replacing the diagonal direction inputs). There is also now clothing damage for combat.
-The game also features a handful of mini games (bar waitress, stripper show, objective capture missions) which comes with their own H and story beats.
-There is a wider range of difficulty for simply going through the story or getting a genuine challenge from the game. There is also a setting at the beginning of the game to determine Lecia's disposition to her (inevitable) circumstances; Virgin, non-virgin, and a lewdness/nymphomania stat to determine her willingness and reactions.
-H comes in the form of H combat animations (usually when you are under a status affected inflicted by the same enemy) as well as H scenes occuring in the story. Some actions/scenes may require Lecia to have a certain % of lewdness/nymphonia to engage with. Both come with their CGs and story beats.
Story
(Copied from Steam Page)
A fresh graduate of the military academy, Lecia has just joined the ranks and received her first posting. She is to head to Kreist Fortress, a remote outpost far from the capital Central. However, what awaits her is the Lost Fortress fallen into disrepute at the hands of her new commander.
Personal Notes
For those that have played Blazing Aries, you can expect more of the same combat/gameplay with some notable improvements on the H content in both accessibility and quantity throughout.
For those that haven't, Lecia and Aries both lean more on the "game" aspect in H-Game. If you are solely interested in the H CGs without investment into the story, then there are better options out there
In Blazing Aries, the H scenes often come from the main story, side quests and mini games; This game follows similarly as such although with a noticeable improvement on quantity and pacing given the setting. While they were few in Aries, admittingly the context behind some of the scenes are amusing, entertaining and does add more to the side characters who would otherwise just be one-offs. This is also the case outside of the H; both Blazing Aries and Lecia is a complete action RPG with a fleshed out story, world building and plays genuinely as such.
The Steam localization is done by OTAKU Plan, the same ones who handled Blazing Aries. The steam version of that game was censored and defaulted to the family friendly mode, but there is a R-18 patch on the publisher's site to re-enable it. The translation isn't perfect, but it mostly comes down to minor grammatical and word choice errors (especially compared to Kagura games' handling of Taima Miko Yugi). I was still able to read the story and get some laughs/enjoyment from the scenarios. I do not have any experience or impression on how DLsite handles their AI translation.
