DualShockersCam OlmedoJan 20217.5/10Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- The Prophecy of the Throne offers a great visual novel experience if you pretend that it isn't also trying to be a strategy game.

Cubed3Feb 20228/10Geared primarily towards the series' fans Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- The Prophecy of The Throne is also the perfect match for newcomers to enter Suburu's world without being overwhelmed on where to start. The action parts are more infrequent than anticipated, and may not be enjoyed by all, but this excels in the visual novel elements. In the future it would be good to see the original visual novels brought to Nintendo Switch, until then this instalment of the series exploring Suburu's unusual ability and how it helps Emelia be a royal candidate will more than suffice.

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyJan 20214/5 starsMy gut reaction to Re:Zero is that the entire property would probably have been better served with a game that could have introduced new fans to the series. I don’t necessarily have a lot of time for anime and, while I think RE:Zero has some lovely character art, I would have rathered just been able to play the game without having to work through an isekai anime go with it. That being said, as I started to puzzle the characters out I found them endearing, the writing solid, and that combat system to be distinctive, creative, and a lot of fun. If you are a fan of Re:Zero I think you’re going to get a kick out of just how careful the developers have been to do the anime justice. There are a lot in the industry that could learn something from this approach.

cublikefootClaire FerrinJan 20213/10Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- The Prophecy of the Throne is a bit of a disappointing mess. From the story that just lazily takes an arc from the anime and slaps some new characters on it to the gameplay that is straight-up tacked-on, there really isn’t much to like here. Sure, the art and voices are good and the story isn’t terrible, but as a fan of the series, I find it hard to recommend, even to other fans.
