For my part I really appreciate what Idea Factory has achieved with this game, and, while the theme is quite dark, it’s presented in that same bright and cheerful, satirical space that we’re so used to with this developer/ publisher that it’s charming and irreverent. It’s always nice to play games like that.
I hold Trillion in high regard. From the art to the music to the characters to gameplay, I enjoyed my time with it. While it’s certainly not high budget, offering some bland, yet fitting and serene songs, awkward character models and animations, it carries the spirit of oldschool JRPGs and their sense of growth.

Traslate:
Well, I loved it!
I played it while I was reading it to a friend who translated it for me, and we were fascinated above all by the deep personality of the protagonist, from whom I rescued many of his reflections.
I can say without a doubt that, despite its simple story, once you get attached to the characters you constantly feel the desperation of wanting them to stay alive, and knowing that if you had handled things differently maybe you could have succeeded, this is certainly a great element that makes you want to work harder, to maybe win the next time.
Yes, the mechanics may be a bit repetitive, but this doesn't matter since you just want to improve and improve a little more each time, looking for how to exploit these mechanics to the maximum to try to defeat the God of destruction with the least amount of sacrifices possible.
In summary, this game doesn't offer great gameplay, but it does offer a very interesting story, but only if you let it develop and don't stop playing too soon. If you continue in the story it will start to give you some good plot twists and surprises when you least expect it.
Also the game has an ending for each character as well as 1 good ending, 1 bad ending and 1 for an extra character that I won't go into spoiler ;D
Anyway, if you are willing to play this game I hope you enjoy it as much or more as we did. And who knows, maybe you will get the real ending!
Original:
Pues a mi me encantó!
Lo jugué mientras se lo leía a un amigo que me lo traducía, y quedamos fascinados sobre todo por la profunda personalidad del protagonista, del cual rescaté muchas de sus reflexiones.
Puedo decir sin lugar a dudas que, a pesar de que su historia sea simple, una vez te encariñas con los personajes sientes constantemente la desesperación de querer que sigan con vida, y saber que si hubieras manejado las cosas de otra manera tal vez lo pudiste haber conseguido, esto es sin duda un gran elemento que da ganas de hacerte trabajar más duro, para tal vez, ganar la próxima ves.
Sí, puede que las mecánicas sean un poco repetitivas, pero esto no importa ya que tú solo buscas mejorar y mejorar cada vez un poco más, buscando cómo explotar al máximo estas mecánicas para poder intentar derrotar al Dios de la destrucción con la menor cantidad de sacrificios posibles.
En resumen este juego no ofrece gran jugabilidad, más sí una muy interesante historia pero eso solo si la dejas desarrollarse y no dejas de jugar antes de tiempo. Si continúas en la historia esta empezará a darte unos buenos giros de trama y sorpresas cuando menos te lo esperas.
También el juegos cuenta con un final para cada personaje así cómo 1 final bueno, 1 malo y 1 para un personaje extra que no entraré en spoiler ;D
En fin, si estás dispuesto a jugar este juego espero que lo disfrutes tanto o más como nosotros lo hicimos Y quién sabe, quizás tú logres sacar el final verdadero?!

Trillion is a criminally underrated tragic masterpiece. As others have said this is a very unique game. Fascinating subversions of every expectation you might have when starting and progressing through the game. Remarkably tragic, but beautiful storytelling. This is a gem that went unnoticed by the Vita crowd, but a few people could appreciate its brilliance and I'm glad to be one of those. This game's premise is utterly unique, the gameplay is extremely challenging and offers quite a load of options for tackling the game's challenge(but its different from a lot of TRPGs in that you only directly control a single unit at a time). The story and characters play a massive role and are dripping with charm and love. This game was clearly made by passionate people and localized by people who truly cared and I just wanted to express my love for this game in the hopes that someone might read this, buy it and play it.
For reference, I bought it used initially for very cheap, and after I started I felt so desirous to support the developers and get more of this content that I actually imported the limited edition from Iffy's online store ( developer's website) from their European store since their NA branch was all out. That was my first import ever, and I also bought their digital "loot" (wallpapers, light novels I think and some other stuff) and I don't regret it at all. The game deserves it and I sincerely hope that people will check out this game and recognize it for the glowing masterpiece that it deserves to be called. An absolutely lovely, endearing, but also brutally tragic and memorable experience that will stay with you... likely forever. You owe it to yourself to play this game in my opinion, though the game has its minor flaws, its good parts so grossly overshadow them that I can't give this game any lower rating than a 10/10.
The fact that games journalists rated it so poorly makes me sick to my stomach with bile. Pearls before swine I suppose, they did the same thing with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky and its a crime against gaming humanity that they did. I hope this changes some people's opinions.

In the end, Trillion: God of Destruction is a surprisingly innovative RPG from a company that is normally content to release/re-release a new Neptune game every month, and further testament to the Vita’s resigned fate as an RPG lover’s dream machine.
You need an intense dedication to the cause when you start to play Trillion: God of Destruction. If you are a die-hard fan of turn-based JRPGs you may want to try this, but be prepared: you will find an experimental game with a lot of grinding.
Trillion: God of Destruction has wonderful characterization and compelling moments, but gets bogged down in a series of unintuitive design decisions and a lack of engaging main story content. Come for the concept, but don’t be surprised when it doesn’t hold for long.
While Trillion: God of Destruction does an exceptional job in setting up its premise and having you care about the plight of its characters, the gameplay and combat mechanics left me feeling disappointed. Fans of turn-based dungeon crawlers may want to give this one a try, but be prepared for a marathon of character building.
Trillion: God of Destruction isn't a game, it's a job; and not a very good one. This isn't something that should be played at home but instead in a cubical, on a desk surrounded by unsigned TPS reports while Becky from accounting reminds you to sign Bill's birthday card before he goes home for the day. And while the company you work for may be interesting, the work you do is so mind-numbingly banal you can't help but wonder if your skills could be put to better use somewhere else.
The bad reviews here are a misrepresentation of the experience the game let's you play. The idea behind the game is more than innovating and it's fairly easy to get used to the menus after you tinker with them for a while. The game is about training several different girls to defeat an ultimate god, catch is, they will most likely die doing so (after you romantically bond with most of **** STRONG point of the game is the story. If you empathize with any of the characters you will feel for them when you realize you are forced to sacrifice your girl because you are underpowered or underequipped. Getting one ending takes between 6-8 hours, but the game's replayability takes it to a good 50+ hours to get all characters endings+true ending. Definetely one of the great vita games we can play.

This is an excellent game, with a great premise and innovative way of telling you its story, the point that made this a 9 instead of a 10, was the repetitive dialogs when you are training... The first time are great, but, as you have to do several times the training, it starts to annoy you after hearing/reading the same dialog 3 or 4 times.

The story of Trillion is fairly unique, but has a very familiar vibe to it that reminds me of the Disgaea series. The protagonist of this story, Zeabolos, is the third Great Overlord of the Underworld, and his kingdom is under siege one day by a mysterious entity that the Underworld knows only as the "God of Destruction", a terrifying creature that left the Underworld in ruin centuries ago. Zeabolos sets out to defeat this creature, but is easily defeated and is about to die, until a mysterious woman makes an offer with him: his soul, upon the God of Destruction's defeat, in exchange for life and power to defeat the beast. Trillion accepts and is revived by the mysterious woman, named Faust, but finds that his body has been stitched back together and is in no shape to fight. Instead, Zeabolos must bestow the Ring of the Tyrant, which Faust created from a fragment of his soul, unto one of his six Overlords and commission them to face the beast, whose only goal is to consume the land of worlds in an attempt to reach its core. Should Trillion reach the core, it will consume it and the world will be lost forever.
It is here that the gameplay of Trillion: God of Destruction begins. You are given a certain number of week-long "cycles" to train your chosen Overlord to prepare to battle Trillion from when it awakes from its slumber in between consuming the land. By far the weakest part of the game, you will spend the majority of your time looking at these menus, choosing which training regimen to put your Overlord through and which of your stats to boost with the experience you gain from training. You purchase and level up skills using this same pool of experience, forcing you to choose between empowering your Overlord's base stats, or giving them powerful passives. You are also free to interact with your Overlord, spending time with them or giving them gifts, in order to raise their affection level and gain affection points, which acts as a temporary HP and MP pool that is drained before your actual pools begin to take damage. Through training, you can earn medals and, upon obtaining five, you can challenge a training dungeon known as the Valley of Swords, wherein you can battle weak enemies for experience and hunt for treasures within a set number of turns.
At the end of each cycle, you battle against Mokujin, a training dummy that is able to take the current form of Trillion, allowing you to practice strategies in preparation for Trillion. At the end of each set of cycles, Trillion awakens and your Overlord sets off to face them, and this is where the actual battles begin. Trillion is a beast that takes up numerous tiles on the battlefield and telegraphs its attacks in advance to give your Overlord an attempt to avoid them. And here is where one can quickly see the flaw in the game's battles against Trillion: Speed. The Speed stat is absolutely crucial for combating against Trillion, as it allows you to perform more actions in between Trillion's attacks. If your speed is not high enough, Trillion's moves will come too rapidly for you to be able to effectively dodge and damage the creature.
Eventually, players will find that the most effective strategy is to bolster the ATK and SPD stat, while using passives that increase the damage you do with critical hits and make any attack to an enemy's back (including Trillion) a critical hit. The only active skills most players will find themselves using are the ones that allow them to move multiple tiles in one turn, in order to avoid Trillion's attacks more effectively. This, in turn, renders the other stats, passive skills and active skills useless.
While the gameplay leaves very much to desire, the story segments are where the game truly shines. Each Overlord has their own personality. Luvia, the Overlord of Envy, is Zeabolos's childhood friend and grows incredibly envious of those that are getting close to the Great Overlord. Mammon, the Overlord of Greed, seeks nothing more than to amass treasure, but her reasons for doing so are surprisingly generous. Perpell, the Overlord of Gluttony, is childish and sweet, seeing everything as a game. Along with many more characters, all of whom personalities are great, make these segments very enjoyable.
However, outside of the individual scenes for each Overlord, the random events that occur due tend to repeat themselves and the correct choice for some of these events are usually entirely random. You will eventually reach a point where you will just skip through the dialogue of these random events because you'll have long grown tired of seeing them for the hundredth time.
All in all, Trillion is a game that has a good story and a fairly interesting idea, but falls short with having very little active gameplay and what little their is being very limited and restrictive. While I enjoyed the story, I did not much care for the gameplay, which results in m choice of score.

Game has pretty good characters, dialogues, story, and even combat is pretty decent. However it also has one critical flaw that eventually turns playing it into chore - you have to fail to see story.
I did my best and got Trillion pretty low on my first Overlord, and after her death was rewarded with some story. My second Overlord came very close to killing Trillion, and her death allowed me to see even more story. And at this point, if I want to see rest of the story, I have to keep spending ingame time doing mostly pointless things and sending Overlords to die.
Essentially, you can't play too well or you will not get to see the game, which is a damn shame.

Trillion: God of Destruction is a dating sim with some combat elements. The goal of the game is to train one of the Overlords so that they are able to face Trillion in battle. If the Overlord dies, they can use their power to weaken Trillion or help the next Overlord stand a chance against Trillion. The game ends when Trillion is killed.
The game is divided into Cycles where Trillion is awake and sleeps. When it wakes, your Overlord has to go face it. Any damage you deal to Trillion stays and carries over. When Trillion sleeps, you have time to train your Overlord, giving her new skills and abilities when you earn enough experience to do so. The only other types of battles in the game is when exploring the Valley of Swords for items, or when you spar with a sibling to earn new skills.
The main problem with Trillion is the lack of strategies. For the most part, Trillion will kill you in one hit, making defense useless. Trillion's attack patterns force you to build certain strategies. For example, the first form is best if you can just get behind it to attack it. However, starting from the second form on, it becomes much more limited, with minions being useless and needing movement skills to hop around and avoid the two balls with near infinite HP that chase you around. It also uses attacks to pull you into its poison, forcing you to get a movement skill to avoid being pulled in. The third one takes this one step further by playing keep away and forcing you to use movement skills to get close, then movement skills to avoid its near full map AoE. The last form also is unpredictable because the attack warnings does not actually follow what it does, rendering most strategies except for sacrificing an Overlord to seal its attacks useless.
