#Varlet combat has really stepped it up in the second half of the game. I still rarely need to heal but it's super-engaging.

Varlet Review | NoobFeed

Varlet challenges players with its roguelike gameplay and fragmented storytelling, where every choice matters.

Despite some rushed chapters and cliché settings, its charm and engaging combat make it a worthy distraction for JRPG fans.

Review: Varlet Borrows too Heavily From Persona 4 Furyu has a habit of making games that feel heavily inspired by Atlus’ _Persona_ titles to varying degrees of success. Usually, it’s a little more of a lose representation and homage, even though you can clearly see how _Shin Megami Tensei_ or similar series inspired it. With _Varlet_ , the company’s latest JRPG, it not only is its weakest attempt, but it also pulls so strongly from _Persona 4_ that it feels like it lacks an identity. I first started to bring these constant similarities _Varlet_ shares with _Persona 4_in my preview. Our character can’t stay at home with his family, so he’s temporarily shipped off to live with his absentee uncle and cousin. (She’s older than him, rather than younger like Nanako.) Immediately in his class, he befriends a girl with short hair in a green jacket with a Chie-like personality and a boy with Yosuke-sort of inferiority and easygoing traits and a similar orange sort of color scheme. They learn that people are getting trapped (or tossed) into the Midnight Channel-like Glitch dungeons, where they are trapped with Desires (Shadows) who attack them. Since our avatar and his two instant friends end up in his cousin’s Student Support Services group at the school, they essentially decide to make it their mission to save folks from those Glitches, starting with the idol (with a pink color scheme and hime style aesthetic like Yukiko) who gets chucked into one of these dungeons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI5FuTSWKsM While at least ensuing SSS members aren’t as _Persona 4_ coded in _Varlet_ , the concept is all incredibly familiar in a way that I feel keeps the JRPG from seeing any story or character-based redemption. That’s because so many other elements don’t really feel like they add much to the experience or are handled as well as Atlus or other modern-setting titles. Things constantly feel middling and bland, even compared to past Furyu titles. While it also attempts to touch on issues that high school students would deal with, like bullying and burnout, it’s so surface level that it doesn’t really explore any of them in a fashion that makes it feel like they matter. _The Caligula Effect 2_ is better at handling those sorts of social issues. For example, _Varlet_ really wants to follow the _Persona 4_ daily life sort of pattern and style. However, there’s no real freedom. When we go through the different periods of the day, there are no moments in class when we’ll need to act or answer questions. There are no after-school clubs or substories that feel meaningful, even though we can go through Character Episodes by “heading home” with SSS members after class. We do get Trust Points that are used to improve their abilities. But I felt like these episodes weren’t as well fleshed out as any _Persona_ Social Links or even the scenarios found in Furyu’s _Caligula Effect._ Since we can’t see them all, it’s best to only focus on folks we use in battles. Also, there’s no “life” outside of seeing the story scenes, doing some running around in the Kousei Academy to do some busywork for “likes,” and heading into Glitch dungeons. You don’t really talk or interact with anyone else. You don’t take on after school jobs or experience town. You read, wander a courtyard, go into the current chapter’s major Glitch dungeon when it comes up at story related points, then repeat. Images via Furyu Said Glitch expeditions in _Varlet_ also aren’t as interesting or engaging as the _Persona 4_ Midnight Channel dungeons, by the way. So that doesn’t offer a reprieve or motivation. There are very few Desire enemy types. The Glitches all tend to look the same. There are no real challenging puzzles when exploring. Even the battles themselves aren’t any trouble, especially after you recruit the idol Aruka, who becomes your healer after recovering her from that initial Glitch. While there are attempts to make the turn-based fights more interesting by watching the timeline to see when people might attack, stun enemies, combo with allies, and trigger a Blitz Mode for what sort of feels like the _Varlet_ take on _Persona 4_ All Out Attacks, it’s all just so easy and unsatisfying. Even the one unique element to _Varlet_ ends up feeling poorly implemented. The game begins with a quiz to assess your personality, which then assigns you points in the Altruism, Morality, and Sympathy Light Triad and Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy Dark Triad stats. Yes, getting certain numbers in these can mean you get different response options in conversations or boosts to certain types of attacks and abilities. But at the same time, I didn’t find them all that influential. I did some save scumming and there were times when selecting different dialogue options didn’t make all that big of a difference. It didn’t feel meaningful in the way I hoped. Images via Furyu The same goes for the non-scripted SSS Activities segment that happen each day. It almost feels more like that’s an excuse to wander around an open, not-hostile space in the JRPG, since there aren't exploration opportunities otherwise. Students there? They won’t talk to you. You can collect their information, just like in _Caligula Effect_ , but it’s far less interesting than that since it isn’t like they’ll become allies or matter to you. You might find a Glitch to head into, be tasked with placing an ad in one of the few designated, unchanging spots, or have a moment where your response could boost one of your Light or Dark Triad stats. But I didn’t enjoy the flavor text conversations from the folks there and there are no meaningful rewards from actually attending these SSS sessions. The only things that I found really memorable were some of _Varlet_ ’s design elements, as it is a Furyu JRPG with great music and cool looking characters. Ema and Taiga especially look great. And when everyone transforms when they enter into a Glitch, their in-combat costumes can be very inventive and unique. Due to the nature of its design, it also looks and runs quite well on the Switch. But then, it isn’t the most intensive game, so it would be disappointing if it didn’t. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeBnA1BbvV8 _Varlet_ suffers from a lack of originality and meaningful activities, and the JRPG relies too heavily on concepts from _Persona 4_. It’s so bland and hollow compared to other Furyu games, with even _The Caligula Effect_ titles doing a better job of telling a story, offering engaging gameplay, and showing off original characters and concepts. The battles are boring and involve repeated types of enemies. Most characters feel like folks we’ve seen before. There’s no real sense of exploration, as the SSS activities are basic, and I didn’t feel like I connected to anyone in its version of “social links.” Even if you enjoy Furyu JRPG releases, this might be one you may want to skip in favor of replaying one of _The Caligula Effect_ games again instead. Varlet _is available on the_ _PS5, Switch, and PC_ _. _ The post Review: Varlet Borrows too Heavily From Persona 4 appeared first on Siliconera.

Well played Varlet for 2 hours now and i like it. Offcoure it's not the same quality as a Persona and not so deep. But so far the story and gameplay is fun. Maybe only the challenge is a bit low, but somehow i am happy with that.

#Varlet started off interesting enough, only played for like 40 minutes ... clear Persona 4 and 5 influence in it.

Developer's prior work in Monark holds a special place with me as art but was very flawed as a game (though there was definite good there!)
