Muv-Luv Finally Gets Released on Steam

Muv Luv game

The new anime visual novel by ixtl, Muv-Luv, has finally arrived on Steam. The acclaimed adventure tells the story of a multi-dimensional romance with many hooks and kicks in its story-telling. The Steam package contains the first two out of three parts: Muv-Luv Extra and Muv-Luv Unlimited. The last part, which is believed to be the size of the first two combined, will be released as a standalone product in the future, also on Stream.

The reader will find several settings in this story such as military, sci-fi, fantasy, ancient Japan and even the mundane, everyday life places such as schools. This variety of places allows the plot to develop with a slight tongue in cheek attitude with chaotic comedy and some native mystical/horror influences.

The Muv-Luv series is split into three parts: Muv-Luv Extra, Muv-Luv Unlimited and Muv-Luv Alternative. Each of these parts has a different twist.

Muv-Luv Extra is set as a romantic comedy in a generic high-school rom-com. It begins to tell a story of an Average Joe like student called Takeru, who fins himself in bed with a very high level girl who believes the two are born for one another. Fortune has it there is another girl that has had feelings for the boy since childhood and she has to do something to win the boy over before it’s too late.

Muv-Luv Unlimited adds more fiery action as Takeru (the boy stuck in the love triangle from Extra) wakes up in a different dimension where the XCOM like world is overrun by aliens and war. Yet, this world seems very familiar to him still.

Finally, the third part, Muv-Luv Alternative, will deliver a great finale in the future as a standalone product.

This anime novel is highly recommended for anyone that considers himself or herself a visual novel enthusiast. It gives all that is loved in the genre for £26.99 (or your local equivalent) on Steam.
