Milky Way Prince - The Vampire Star is a Graphic novel that tells a story about a morbid story about an ill love and a partner with bipolar disorder.

Milky Way Prince portrays sex and toxicity in relationships in a very mature fashion. However, the character and story development is a bit rushed.

Ultimately, Milky Way Prince – The Vampire Star is too outlandish for its own good and doesn’t make for a satisfying game in its current form. Its audiovisual design is commendable, but with awkward dialogue, peculiar scenes and a hard to follow story, it’s very hard to recommend.

This game is a small gem that has changed my life and the lives of many other players. It crawls inside you, in a way only a 20-year-old promising author's first work could —full of passion, imperfection, exaggeration, imagination and confusion.
It’s one of those cases where Metacritic fails, because you can’t give any real weight to reviews written by people who not only aren’t the target audience, but who, above all, don’t speak the same language and don't live in the same world as me, the other fans, or the creator. It's a unique piece of art and deserves all the best.

This Visual Novel feels exciting and different but deals with a lot of heavy stuff. Give it a try!

Prepare yourself for a journey into your previous relationships: this small game will make you feel naked and ashamed, while teaching you a powerful lesson about abuse and unconditional love.

It won't be all clean and perfect, but it carries on a complex story with honesty and intransigence by pumping blood through the veins of its characters.

As an experience, Milky Way Prince is experimental, entirely unique and one that I’m glad exists. I imagine it’ll hang in the subconscious of most people who give it the time of day, but the subject matter will be too much for some to bear.

This tale demands more detail. It requires more time spent in filling out the world and its characters. If the game had spent more time on these points, we’d be looking at one hell of a harrowing and affecting story. As it stands right now though, Milky Way Prince feels like a massively missed opportunity.
