Muv Luv Alternative Review

Nota Bene:

1. To reiterate, spoilers will be hidden behind spoiler boxes, so feel free to read even if you haven't read the visual novel (just don't click on the boxes if that's the case, obviously). Here is an example box:


2. Muv Luv Alternative, as well as its prequel Muv Luv, are mature games for those 18 and over. While this review will not have any explicit content (bar, potentially, a bit of profanity), don't play the game unless you meet the age requirements of the game.

Preamble

This review was originally on another site , but I wanted to repost it here so I can have all my reviews on my blog. Before beginning, let me say that this review was originally just going to be about Muv Luv Alternative. However, because Muv Luv Alternative is part of a trilogy of games, I thought it would be apt to provide a brusque overview of the other two games so people who have never read anything Muv Luv related wouldn't be completely lost.

Brief Synopsis

The Muv Luv trilogy consists of two games made by âge, which are split into three parts. The first game, 'Muv Luv', includes the first two parts called Muv Luv Extra (MLE) and Muv Luv Unlimted (MLU); the second game is the third part and is called Muv Luv Alternative (MLA).
