Varlet Review
FuRyu returns to a fairly familiar style of setting with Varlet. Unfortunately, a fairly interesting story and cast are overshadowed by a terrible gameplay loop and completely broken combat balancing.
Varlet
Varlet is a school-life RPG about self-discovery, experienced through meeting others who struggle with the question of who they truly are, and grow through that very struggle.
