Gameplay

Nights of Azure Nights of Azure PC Review There Should Always Be Light At The End

The game features an RPG battle system where characters fight alongside contracted demons known as Servan. These demons can be summoned during battle through the use of SP, and are categorised into attacker and support types. As they become stronger through subsequent battles, they gain new abilities. The player accepts quests and performs customisations at the Hotel, when not taking orders to progress the story or battling enemies.

Arnice can also land attack chains using light, heavy and special attacks, with each chain gradually filling a transformation gauge. When full, the player can trigger a transformation which increases offensive power. Her demon form allows her to control flames, while her rabbit form focuses on speed and melee combat, and her phantom form improves her recovery capabilities. She is also able to transform her blood into different types of blood power weapons depending on the situation, such as daggers and longswords, which change her attack moveset and the abilities of summoned demons.

Setting

The game follows the journey of two girls within an uncharted land known as Rusewall Island, where no one sleeps at night. After humans emerged victorious from the battle against the Ruler of the Night, the blue blood from the monster scattered and polluted those who bathed in it, changing them into creatures known as Jayou which steal night-time from the people.

  • Development

    The game was developed under the leadership of development producer Keisuke Kikuchi who has previously worked on the Deception and Fatal Frame game series, while the general producer was Tadanobu Inoue. The character sprites and background art were illustrated by Yoshiku. The game, along with the other Social Gust game, Atelier Sophie, experienced delays in release citing final adjustments as the reason for delay.

    First-print copies of the game featured DLC codes for Gust from Hyperdimension Neptunia as a subordinate demon.

    Reception

    Famitsu gave the game a review score of 32/40. The game sold a total of 79,227 physical retail copies across all three platforms within its first week of release in Japan. The simultaneous PSVita release of the game received negative reviews concerning its Japanese-exclusive PSVita release, due to the significantly reduced processing speed and comparatively low graphics, with the common complaint that the graphics for the PSVita were never properly advertised.

    Upon its PS4 release in the West, Nights of Azure received mixed reception.
