これは本当に大傑作。ノベルゲームという可能性をゲームから脱却するという大胆極まりない方法によって拡大している。とにかく脚本の面白さがすごい。あとミニマムなゲーム的資源からここまで深みのある体験ができるということも驚き。

已经通关了两三个月了，现实中也刚好进入了冬天，我想说，真的很庆幸，在我的游戏生涯中能找到这样一个完全符合我喜好的游戏，我想在未来的某个冬季，我会再次重温这款游戏，再见到青子，galgame的标杆

The heaviest entry from TYPE-MOON yet. Even Tsukihime Remake hasn't been THAT good. All that comes from Monoji Tsukuri himself, it was his last work and he put all the efforts into it, directing everything with highest quality. I wouldn't even call it a visual novel, but a pure cinematic experience, served with class-ish melancholic & grand action soundtrack of Hideyuki ****. You'll never experience anything like this again in the nearest future. Slow start until Chapter 6, but every scene afterwards is very satisfying. Thank you, Kinoko Nasu, for delivering such a unique, a bit tragic and inspiring story about humanism, life and time. All time favourite VN for me since 2012.

Le style d'écriture, la musique, la DA sont excellents et font en sorte de nous immerge dans une histoire poétique et très touchante.

Possibly one of the most anticipated visual novel localizations ever. Despite their immense popularity, Type-Moon seemed to be allergic to localize any of their works that was not a spin-off or anime. Many fans such as I had to settle for fan translations for visual novels as iconic as Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime. However, we finally have a localization for one of their visual novels, and it delivers. Despite being a decade old, the animations and art of Mahoutsukai no Yoru definitely hold up and are only enhanced by modern resolutions and incredible voice acting. The soundtrack is arguably one of the best visual novel OSTs of all time, ranging from high octane battle songs, to bittersweet melancholic piano ballads, to relaxing slice-of-life tracks such as the main theme. Most of which is composed by the talented Hideyuki ****, best known for his work on Street Fighter IV and V. The story and characters are incredibly complex and well-written in true Type-Moon fashion. The dynamics between the characters are both infectiously funny and also incredibly tense when needed. The story involves a lot of slice-of-life elements which really makes you grow attached to all the characters while introducing elements of mystery and world-building to build intrigue and suspense. I cannot get too much into the specifics because this story is best experienced with less information going in. While some may be upset or put off that the first localization of a Type-Moon visual novel is of a title they have little to no knowledge of, it is important to note that the story of Mahoutsukai takes place before all other major Type-Moon stories, such as Kara no Kyoukai, Tsukihime, and Fate/Stay Night. This was technically the first story Kinoko Nasu has ever written, so it actually makes sense for it to be localized first. I highly recommend this story to anyone since it requires no prior knowledge of any other Type-Moon stories. Others might be hesitant as most visual novels have multiple branching paths and routes such as Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime, but Mahoutsukai is far more accessible since it has a linear storyline and is far shorter than other Type-Moon visual novels. This is not only a great introduction to the Nasuverse but also to the visual novel medium as a whole. Even if you are not into anime, I consider this as one of those stories that even those who dislike anime can enjoy as the story is pretty grounded and does not feature excessive amount of fanservice. Please support this game so we can have more localizations of the Nasuverse in the future!

Not only is this one of my favorite TM works to date, but it is the single most important Nasuverse work, as it is the beginning of it all. From Tsukihime, to Fate. This is the groundwork that Nasu and his team built upon. From it's art direction to it's score and it's countless emotional beats. Mahotsukai no Yoru is a fantastic ride from start to finish. And now here for our viewing pleasure after an entire decade worth of waiting.
