  还没玩后篇，评论也只限与前篇的剧情。[spoiler]但是前篇涟和受卖命之间的感情看得气死了，主要还是两个人在感情中根本不是平等的。涟在明明知道受卖命有多喜欢她的情况下提出了虽然不能接受你的感情但是不然来打一炮吧我真的满脸？？？。就算后面一直在说什么不想玩弄受卖命的感情，说什么受卖命也是故意的还有说涟也很罪恶，但是最开始提出这个请求本来就很离谱。不管是在感情发展上还是行为逻辑上，东云和姬那对都要比涟和受卖命这対正常许多。东云这个我要变强这样就可以让姐姐尽量不要死了的逻辑虽然比较死板，但是还是比涟这个反正我也没啥用不然天天翘课直接摆烂的逻辑要正常也讨人喜欢很多 [/spoiler]

  Attention: This review is separated between the base novel and the Adult Content DLC, please check the DLC pages for a different review. The first part of this novel is boring. It's supposed to be a world and character setup for Part 2. The yuri side of the story is much better. Only the main heroines are voiced.

  ✅Pros and ❌Cons

  ✅A good yuri story with some sci-fi background ❌Boring story overall, an obvious setup for Part 2 ❌Only main heroines are voiced 💭It's clear that most budget went to the Adult DLC

  This game is Brilliant. The story is very well constructed and keeps up the tension the whole way through, character interactions are realistic with any oddities having ingame explanations I highly recomend it.

  A wonderful Yuri Visual Novel! *double thumbs up!* the feels.... at that ending... the romance build up is fantastic the plot and story is always intense and constantly changing topics there is slight humour aswell so it isnt always depressing and finally that plot ending.. i really cant wait to play the second part of this game and i hope it will be just as long as this one! Whats the story about? Well.. you get to play the story from 2 main characters from the game The first character is Len (main protag) which you play through majority of the story. The second character is Shinonome (main character - friend of Len's) which you play during towards the end of the game You basically see/read the story from both character perspectives throughout the game which does explain some more details about the plot and story. A basic plot You as Len are a city girl who gets 'roped' into a secret organization thats supposedly fighting evil demons that are trying to revive their master from being banished from 100 years ago. She gets trained and taught how to fight using a special divine sword against the Oni, however not everything is good as it seems there are dark events throughout the game and you have to read it in order to find out what happens next. Rating: Gameplay: There are no choice options this is a visual story after all. It took me roughly 4 - 5 hours to finish the game but the game is only up to 1 GB. I suggest to slowly pace yourself through the game and read the dialogue thoroughly to understand the story and enjoy it better rather than fast pacing yourself through it. Story: 10/10 Although i have to confess i did predict or see some plot points but the game was still entertaining Character development: 10/10 Yes character development was great! Relationship development: 10/10 it slowly builds up which i prefer in visual novels Humour: 8/10 some of the jokes felt stupid but hey i still enjoyed it Cliff hangers? yes! be prepared for them! So part 2 is releasing in winter 2016 (hopfully) which im assuming by towards the end of december 2016? Anyway i just hope part 2 is just as long as part 1 was because it only took me 4 - 5 hours to finish this game and i was pacing myself through the game too. Is the game worth buying? seeing how its only 9 - 10 USD dollars i think its worth it to support not just the developers of the game but Sekai Project too :D Also i loved seeing those 2 girls from that other yuri visual novel 'sacrement sheep' during the begining of the game it was hilarious and cute :) Im not great at typing up reviews, i just hope my input has given you enough information about the game and if you think its worth playing. Thanks for reading my review :P

  While there are quite a few yuri-themed visual novels out there, all too many simply drift into some sort of fan-service focused vortex with a bad story and all-too-blatant and predictable visuals. While it cannot quite keep up with Kindred Spirits, “No no Kami: The Two Princess Knights of Kyoto” nevertheless delivers a set of characters that are relatable, funny, and thoroughly endearing. Yes, it is full of clichés, but they are decently executed and the all-too-easy archetypes are happily avoided. Similarly, the story is nothing overly original, but it is solid and contains enough twists and surprises to keep the audience engaged and wanting more. On a more technical level, the translation is sometimes a tad … ehm … original let’s just say, but overall not too bad. There are quite a few typos throughout the game though, in particular toward the later parts, making it seem as if the quality control may have been a bit rushed when approaching the release date. While these factors can slightly detract from the story at times, they are not bad enough to really take away from the enjoyment the game delivers. The game being an easy 10h+ experience is also quite amazing, especially when considering its price point. I for one am certainly looking forward to part 2, and would very much recommend this one to people interested in yuri-themed VNs that are not limited to cheap fan-service. It should be added that it is not devoid of fan-service though, if the screenshots aren’t obvious enough, but it keeps it at a rather humane level and does not shy away from poking a bit of fun at itself at times (and from what another reviewer wrote, I am rather glad that this is not the 18+ version, as that seems to go down a somewhat different route in this regard).

  This is part one of what I believe is a two part series. Excellent visual novel for yuri lovers! The game contains fantasy elements and is pretty reminiscent of other yuri games like Akai Ito and Aoishiro. This game is a kinetic novel meaning that there aren't any choices to make and its a straight read through. Length-wise it took me around 7 hours to finish the novel. There is a patch for ..."extra content...". It does cost a decent amount of money relative to the cost of the game, but I found that the scenes (3 of them) were pleasantly written and enjoyed them thoroughly. Overall a very pleasant read.

  This visual novel just makes you feel like an onlooker the whole time. Its hard to connect to the characters due to the odd logic they tend to use and lack of choices to feel like your doing anything but reading. Not to mention the last chapter that at the moment is the recap chapter. Its dumb. I don't really care about Shino or any of that becuase you have made Len the main character. You spend all this time making me connect with Len when shes litterally just being pulled along by the story this whole time. Then she gets an attitude of her own and for some reason you decide to recap EVERYTHING. Waste of time and I feel sorry for the backers that probably should feel ripped off that they backed a recap chapter. That is just filler. Its not interesting and it bearly brings to light any new or relevent info until the very end. I would have rather the whole recap chapter never existed and just move on wtih the story with the person who is supposed to be the main character but honestly with how shes been treated throught the story she isn't. Tl;DR Main character is pulled along just like the audiance and the only time it gets interesting instead of getting to the good part we just get a recap chapter.

  I just red through this VN and I'd like to share my opinion on this one. I am no VN connoisseur but I can appreciate a good storytelling. This story had me confused the first few minnutes, thought I am missing something, like a game that came before this but no, right after chapter 1 I was hooked. There's war upon us and you just get thrown in the middle of it and have your perspective on reality shaken. As you go through this, you encounter more and more mysteries not only about the world but about the hero herself. It's exactly those mysteries that kept me going through. I get way too much into a story if it's any good, forcing me to sit back and put the VN down for a bit, because I just can't bring myself to witness a disaster I see coming a mile away feeling anxious about what's to come. And man does this VN take you to an emotional swing at times. The characters are likeable, helps that there's not that many of them so you can easily keep track of everyone and make your own opinion and picture about them. There will definitely be some you'll love, some you'll find suspicious and some you'll hate. You may even sympathise with the enemy and question your place in this war a little as the hero does as well. It ended on a big big plot twist, making me internaly scream for more, it's far worst than waiting for the current Walking Dead season to start after how the last one ended. prediction for part 2 was winter 2016, right now on their main website it says "Ne no Kami part two is 98.27% translated." and I just can't wait for it! I bought this out of impulse, I was in store for a VN, nothing in particular. I am glad I made the decision to get this one and I can highly recommend this one to anyone, it's worth it and currently on sale too!

  This is an interesting game. This also is apparently Part 1 of a larger narrative (apparently Part 2 has been translated, just not released). Two sets of girls appear to be in love, but the main character may well be Len... who also might not be all she seems. Also, I cannot seem to figure out who is the good guys in this game... and neither can Len (who appears to be able to understand both sides). There are a few twists and turns. Anyway, an interesting game that I would recommend. There also appears to be an 18+ patch, but... I cannot see where it would add anything...

  The visual novel plays out like a typical shounen action manga, and how the game ends with a cliffhanger, I rather enjoyed Ne no Kami. All the other features made up for these shortcomings and made for a pleasant experience. I just highly advise players to put this game on hold until part 2. As far as the story goes the front half are relatively slow pacing with not much happening at all it takes its time to set the stage but the pacing felt a little to slow because I did get a little bored while reading the front half. But once you made it though the halfway mark and go into the back half of the story it becomes one hell of a roller coaster ride. Which made the read through really exciting and engaging all at once with the combination of visual effects and more.There is a huge amount of typos. I honesly do not know how it got through the QA team The art, however, is pretty. Len certainly does make a lot of expressions, Uzume’s passion for Len is very vivid, Shinome has an excellent smug face, and Ruka’s “ice queen” expression during Shinome’s story is really cold. The girls all look beautiful. Though it ends with a cliffhanger and is showed that Ne no Kami – The Two Princess Knights of Kyoto Part 2 will be coming winter 2016.Though do not be held back by the cliffhanger because these type off cliffhangers are good as it does not leave a bad instead it left me with the excitement of wanting to know more of the story with the well timed character role twist at the ending. My Verdict : I would recommend Ne no Kami – The Two Princess Knights of Kyoto to people who love yuri and romance and of course action. It is relatively short and enjoyable game. 3/5

  This game isn't good enough for buying two chapters and two R18 patches for them which all are sold separately. To be more serious, it isn't really bad. The beginning was long and boring, only characters that have sex in the game have voice actors (probably spoiled something to you rn), and the others are silent, it's really annoying, but voice acting is pretty nice, sprites are ok, really, music is good, and action scenes are well made. Still, it left me really disappointed. And I bought an episodic game without even knowing it's episodic, awesome.

  Overall can't recommend in full price $10. There are other games out there with better writing which allow you to indulge in f/f romance that doesn't make you feel icky by the end of it. Let me be clear, I have zero issue with yuri or yaoi for that matter, it's the execution that I have issue with. I bought Ne No Kami when it's half-price. I'll be honest though even with the half price I'm not certain if it's worth it. It's not exactly super horrible but it's not exactly without a hook either plot wise. If I have to summarize, this game suffers identity problem. The best part of the Ne No Kami part 1 (yes this is part of a series), is the opening soundtrack. P.s: If you are interested to read more explanations, read below. Beware of minor spoiler. ====================================== Minor spoiler warning: ======================================= I personally am looking for a mature f/f centered characters with promising plot that isn't centered fully in romance. While Ne No Kami does cover some of my expectations, it does so poorly. Ne No Kami has potential to be really good. Its downfall was wasted on juvenile jokes and plot holes throughout almost the entire story. Example, whoever decided to create Uzume the way she is right now really done her character a diservice. She could really be an interesting yuri character but instead she turned into (what another reviewer aptly described) a predator. Its like watching male perverted creeps who confused lust and obsessions to be the same as love come up with a game. The other f/f relationship between Shino and Ruka is also somewhat a failure. They have promised to be heartwarming and cute but the executioin just isn't there. This one I believe is mainly failed because the romance build-up is rushed. It's as if the ppl making this game can't decide what they want this game to be. Should this be a cute story that tug players' heart? a yuri for predominantly male players? a parody? something for male teenagers vs adults? or maybe an action adventure with "male definition of a strong female lead"? I do give this game credit for trying to portray f/f love as less of an issue of gender but more of who you happen to fall in love with. Also as mentioned I like the soundtrack.

  This Visual Novel is split into two Parts, so watch out when buying that you get both from the Beginning as only this one will leave you with a Cliffhanger. The Game itself will take you for sure 5 hours to complete, but most likely longer and features a Supernational Story with some cute Yuri Romance Action. If you like old Japanese Ideas like Ayakashi and Stuff then this VN has a really interesting and quite exciting Plot. I originally bought this Game since it has Yuri in it and thought that it would be its main focus, however this really is more of a supernational, fight Ayakashi and interesting Story Evolvement type of VN. It also has great Art and I like the Voice Acting. The only Thing that I have to point out, is that the extra R18+ DLC is nothing more then 2 Scenes that arent really that great. They also dont really add anything to the Story, so I dont really think that you need to buy them. Just enjoy the Story and some cute Moments. If you do decide to want to see them, just dont expect too much from them. I also dont like that the Way it shows the Text changes for those two Scenes, as it looks more like a Manga. In the End, this VN has a good Plot with some cute Girls, a pretty good Development and for the 4 Euro it costs on Sale you really cant get much better. Overall Score: 9/10 Check out my Currator Page: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34401214/ for more Reviews :)

  I gave it a good solid chuck of time - 7 hours - which by most accounts was about the amount of time needed to reach the end, and I just couldn't find it within me to bother getting there. This seemed like such a promising series - it came well recommended, the art looks great, it seemed like the plot could be decent.. And it DOES have its strong points; the art IS good, the characters have several different expression variants, the soundtrack is solid, the smooth text transitions give it a polished feel. So, where does this game falter? The first thing that stuck out to me as the text rolled on is that there are no choices in the game, at least that I ever saw. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but for those wondering: this is essentially a manga presented as a VN. Second, and perhaps most importantly, the writing is incredibly juvenile. I don't mean to say that it's bad, necessarily.. Maybe it's best if I just summed it up as being "incredibly animu." Cringey jokes, shallow fanservice, hilariously awkward combat scenes, and an infuriating inability to continue a line of conversation for longer than five sentences all gradually wore away my ability to appreciate the characters or anything that they were going through. Don't get me wrong, the premise of the main story with its political and personal interplay between the various factions was actually fascinating, but it was just so clumsily represented that it never got to shine like the star of the show that it really is. It should also be said that this manga was also very... very.. slow. Aaaaand finally, the third point: the yuri. Due to the absence of choice, we are forced to simply wait for our blissfully ignorant main character to realize 'oh, hey.. That girl who calls me a goddess and waits on me hand and foot - I kinda wanna fuck her. Yolo.' Now proceed to skip all foreplay, and cue one image of naked chicks with several minor variations and slow text that crawls across the screen. I'm sure you can tell I'm pretty frustrated in this department... Maybe I didn't give the game enough of a chance. I didn't make it to the ending, so maybe it gets better.. I mean, the Shino/Ruka kiss was actually hugely adorable and was one of the high points of the game imo, but I've heard that relationship goes downhill as well, so who knows. Either way you slice it, this game had a lot of potential, but its flaws were too numerous to keep me on board. Close, but no cigar.

  I really, really want to like [i]Ne no Kami[/i]. There's a lot going for it as a kinetic novel. Great art and music, part of what drew me here in the first place. An interesting premise with plenty of potential conflict. Cute character designs. Where it fails is in the writing department: the make or break aspect of any visual novel. Len's waffling on her new life situation doesn't feel logical despite her occasional internal conflict. Uzume's pathological obsession with our aforementioned protagonist is neither attractive, nor in line with the rest of her personality. The humor is... juvenile at best (women—gay or straight—do not compare bust sizes every hour of every day of the week); it's also out of place in an otherwise serious storyline. While some of the romance is good (Shinonome and Ruka's kiss on the gate steps was just lovely), the sex scene between Len and Uzume feels like it was written by someone that doesn't understand female sexuality whatsoever. Conversations shift subjects more often than Lady Gaga swaps through stage costumes. That's not to say that [i]Ne no Kami[/i] doesn't have its moments, either, but no amount of intriguing plot reveals can help me overlook everything else that's frustratingly wrong here. [b]RATING:[/b] ★★½

  I was drawn to this title due to the concept - namely the promise of action and yuri, as well as the good character designs and musical score. Truly, the anime opening had me sold, so I picked this up on sale. Yet, I can't find it in myself to recommend it as a purchase, and after a couple of hours of reading I requested a refund. The writing leaves much to be desired. The plot opens on what is effectively an abduction, and over the course of the exposition dump the story shuffles its feet with getting the main character Len to buy-in to the promise adventure. Tone is all over the place, there's juvenile jokes, talks of bust size, and none of the characters seem to understand how to communicate serious concepts, even with high stakes looming on the horizon. Characterization is deeply flawed bordering on creepy, and personally I cannot stick around for the yuri if I simply don't like any of the characters.

  Story: Not very interesting and drags on for way too long. In short what happens is: Len, an average high school girl, is recruited by a group of people who hunt ayakashi (demons) where one of her childhood friends, Shino, is already a member. The demons want to bring their gods back into our world, which is bad. Len just wants everyone to be friends. The main story is around 5 hours long, while the side story (which is just parts of the main story seen from Shino's point of view) is under an hour long. [i]However[/i]. the game feels [i]much[/i] longer, and it took me more than 3 months just to get through it... Characters: None of the characters are very likeable (except for maybe Ruka). I also thought 3 of the 5 voiced characters were quite annoying with subpar voice acting. To make things more frustrating you have conversations where only 1 of the 3 characters talking is voiced. To add to this, the writing is bad, and it's as if the writers tried their hardest to be as unoriginal as possible. Art: The art is fine, but nothing special. 18+ patch: If the scenes had been included with the main game they would have been fine, but they are [u]not[/u] worth paying extra for. In short: If I had to describe this game in one word it would be: boring[. Instead of making me want to play part 2 (the game ends on a cliffhanger) it made me remove part 2 from my wishlist instead. GG. Although there are not many yuri visual novels on Steam, I still recommend you try finding something other than Ne no Kami to fulfill those needs.
