All together Utawarerumono is a lengthy game, and while I usually advocate for games to be shorter, in the particular case of this series, I do think the narrative justifies the length and experience that it's looking to share.
An interesting tactical RPG that brings us the origins from this series' story and completes it with a variety of characters with high charisma in a mix of visual novel sequences and fighting scenarios.

A great start to my favorite series of all time. It is, first and foremost, a visual novel -- if you don't like reading, this isn't for you. But if you do, this is a great fantasy story with an original setting that is about found family, war, personal identity, and hubris. Between VN segments, you also control the characters in strategy RPG battles; they're fairly easy and the gameplay is simple. Honestly, if you're looking for a challenging SRPG, you'll be disappointed; but on the other hand, if you're a fan of great stories and aren't experienced with SRPGs, you'll still be able to get through it with no problems.
It's also worth keeping in mind that this is just the first game in a trilogy, and each game gets progressively more complex and builds on the previous one both in terms of story and gameplay, culminating in the final game, Mask of Truth, which is my favorite game of all time. I can't recommend this series enough.

Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is yet another port of Utawarerumono for Japanese fans, but it's the first time in nearly 20 years that the first chapter of this iconic hybrid visual novel trilogy is playable in English. A unique world and unforgettable characters are at the heart of this game, but they're complemented by gorgeous artwork, addictive battles, and incredible music. It drags in the middle act, but once that final act ends and the credits roll, you'll barely remember the rough edges of this otherwise fantastic experience.
Prelude to the Fallen is a solid introduction to the Utawarerumono universe so if simple SRPG battles and visual novels appeal to you then this is one game that you'll definitely want to play.
Between a visual novel and a strategic game, Utawarerumono: prelude to the Fallen crosses the boundaries of the oriental market to capture the hearts of western players with a well packed game.
Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is an ideal opportunity to get into the series and learn what it’s all about. It won’t be for all; those unable to deal with the slow pace of visual novels will get unstuck in the many events that try and build relationships at the expense of driving the plot, something that is almost omnipresent throughout both this game and the Mask duology. However, for those who enjoy winding down with a deep story and some enjoyable tactical combat, the game provides that in spades.
Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is graced by a compelling plot, but everything else is quite forgettable in this by-the-numbers visual novel.
Really enjoying it great story characters music. Artwork looks great and plenty of funny moments. Great game can't wait to finish it.

A visual novel type game with some strategy and rpg elements and a narrative focusing on a male protagonist and a HAREM type story. There's some very light erotic images, and all backgrounds of the game are recycled over and over, even when going to other countries you'll have exactly the same backgrounds for most of the narrative. The game starts out fine but the narrative soon devolves into nonsense and you the player have no control whatsoever on how the story goes making you swallow all sorts of nasty characters and events without any saying in the matter. The protagonist of the game is a really weak character, it feels like the MC of a porn harem game mixed with a virgin at 40 type of character.
