Description

While on a field trip to London, Nagai Towa gets lost in the city at night.

After he finally makes it to the train station, he finds a mysterious egg.

"What's with this egg? It's really pretty..."

And then right before his eyes, the egg shatters into pieces. His consciousness fades away...

When he comes to his senses, he finds himself standing in an unfamiliar place. It has the appearance of London, but it's a completely different world.
----Royal Capital Salem

There, he meets a girl named Shelly Linestad who is searching for her father who has been accused of murdering the king.

For the sake of returning to his original world and helping the girl who helped him...

He continues pressing on while wearing the Dragon Armor "Clarias", and at the same time gets ever closer to the truth hidden within this new world.

<report>Niijima and GIGA's taking the piss. Let's get system problems out the way first. No NG+ (pre-March patch). No true route. No chart. No battle skip option post-completion. "Routes" are just 2 H-scenes, a few SoL stuffs and an epilogue.

Still with me? Let's talk story. Isekai gang fights maou. Nothing more. Tons of what seemed to be foreshadowing and unresolved plot points completely ignored, including but not limited to the Reindstadt cat thing, Towa's backstory and fighting ability, Hirose, Noiman, the Egg's true power and the isekai world's relationship with the original world. All of the above are touched upon but completely ignored and rendered irrelevant.

Heroines are dry. Villains are terrible. Final boss made me sigh.

This isn't worth 1k yen let alone 10k. Please don't buy this.

<report>I found the game very enjoyable and accessible for beginners in Japanese despite the fantasy setting.

Although I had a good time with the game overall, I must say that the game feels a bit rushed and unfinished. For example, the identity and motivations of one of the central antagonists (Neumann) are completely ignored

<report>Characters are pure stereotypes and full of cliches. The story can't decide if it wants to meme or be serious and loves to sidetrack from main plot. Villians have lul reasons for their "villiany" and get unsatisfying conclusions.
Gameplay is fun for half the game or so but then blurs into just dodging to get slowmotion and paralyze the enemy with your limited moveset. Long range enemies are just plain annoying as they break combos which is unbearable on higher difficulties due to the bloated enemy hp bars.

<report>Holy shit. Story's horrible. I had high expectations for this game because at the start, the writing is actually good and the character events are not cringy stuff you see in yuzusoft and smee visual novels and are actually funny. The story was good at the start because there's the occasional funny event DURING the main story (not those events you get by moving around on the map) but those funny events became rare during the later part of the story where the story gets more serious. I don't mind a serious novel but I want it to have a good story I would have just preferred it if they took away the actual main plot and just made it purely a romance visual novel. There are also so many things... Read more »

<report>Clarias isn't a game you should think too deeply about, if you expect an epic isekai plot you're obviously going to be disappointed, that being said the game is just fun, its fast paces and never really gets boring, for me the plot was interesting not becuase it had an interesting plot, but because the game's voice acting, amazing art, stellar gameplay, cute characters and fun writing made the parts of the plot that are supposed to be hype actually hype. the final boss theme alone might be worth playing the game for.

gameplay wise its really fun if you can get into the system, i recommend playing very hard mode, its not the deepest combat, since once you learn to "get" it it becomes a lot... Read more »
