"Utawarerumono is a good time to pass, despite fighting a bit tiresome, the story quickly catch up. A full English translation is available by the team Mirror Moon as well as the ability to import dubbing PS2 version. No excuses for not playing it!" (Translated by Google Translate)

"All in all, I really enjoyed playing Utawarerumono. And so far, I'm enjoying the anime series, too. It's not a jawdropping high-tech game, nor a super hentai game whatsoever, but Utaware gives the player and audience a long-lasting experience."

"Utawarerumono doesn’t start off particularly promising, and you’d be forgiven in thinking that, based upon its archetype-ridden beginnings, it would drown in a flood of clichés well before it hits endgame. But you would be largely mistaken."

Hakuoro, a man who wakes up in a tiny backwoods village near the mountains with heavy injuries, no memory, and a mask he cannot remove. After being nursed back to health by Eruruw, the girl who found him lying at the point of death in the forest, he starts to view the village as his new home. But when an oppressive ruler threatens the peaceful life of Hakuoro and his newfound friends and family, they find themselves hurtled towards war, chaos, and a destiny far greater than any of them imagined.
