"There’s a lot more I could have talked about in this review, especially with regard to the story, but the bottom line is that Aselia is fun to both read and play even if it might not suit the tastes of everyone."

"Overall, Xuse’s Aselia the Eternal is a great little strategy VN, with a gripping plot, compelling character dynamics, and strategic gameplay."

"It's an extremely rare occasion when a game that spans dozens of hours keeps you entertained at the start, the end, and nearly every minute in the middle."

Yuuto has been taking care of his step-sister Kaori since the passing of both of their parents. Their life is hard, but they are happy together - at least until the day they are transported to a parallel world that they will later come to call Phantasmagoria...

In this world where he can't even understand a single spoken word, his sister is taken prisoner and her captors, calling him an 'Etranger', force him to fight wielding a sword that tries to control his mind instead...

Although he first accepts this fate only to protect Kaori, with passing time Yuuto starts to care for the fate of the 'spirits', the girls that fight alongside him, and other inhabitants of this world as well...
