Stream: Reverse 1999
Dive into Reverse 1999 through my perspective. This page serves as a living journal, updated daily with bite-sized reviews, exclusive video highlights, and curated screenshot galleries from my adventure.
Story boring and complicated
Sometimes when reading through Reverse 1999 story it makes me feel about dropping it altogether. It tries way too hard to be complicated for the sake of being complicated and the story end up not making sense. And it's not the translation fault, even the japanese audio is pretty much spot on...
When it's good, it's good, but when it's bad...it just breaks the magic. I get distracted while reading and don't seem to be able to focus on it.
It's a shame though as the setting is one of the greatest between the gacha games I play...
Adele's life philosophy
Adele is absolutely my spirit animal, this line really hit me right in the feelings. Honestly, there’s no need for some grand adventure across the world if I can just have a calm, stable life in my own hometown. Sure, it might be boring, but it’s still comfortable, enjoyable, and way less risky. That said… it’s kind of hard to believe she’ll actually manage that. I mean, she has a pet red dragon casually sitting on her shoulder and can wield powerful magic like any arcanist. With that kind of setup, she’s basically destined to get dragged into something strange sooner or later.
A flowing feast Event
Ok time to drop everything and start reading the new Reverse 1999 event titled "A flowing feast" and then make a post if it's interesting enough to warrant an actual article. Hopefully it'll better than the last one as I'm still a bit bitter about it being that a bit boring.
The story seems to have moved into a France setting as the event is set in Paris following Adele, an arcanist also working as a taxi driver. I really liked the Vienna chapter with Kakania of the main story so maybe this one will be as good.
Vampires coming in! Catchy PV!
This PV for the upcoming Reverse: 1999 patch event is genuinely amazing, and I love how it seems fully centered on vampire mythology, with Repuska clearly taking the spotlight as the protagonist. The whole thing feels steeped in Eastern European influences, from the visual style to the atmosphere and implied folklore, and that’s a huge win for me. One thing I really appreciate about Reverse: 1999 is how strongly it leans into Europe as its main stage. Sure, there are occasional events set elsewhere, but Europe remains the narrative and aesthetic core, and it gives the game a very distinct identity.
That said, as I’ve probably mentioned before, I’m always a bit cautious with Reverse: 1999 events. They tend to swing wildly between being absolutely perfect and painfully boring, with very little middle ground. This one looks promising though, so let’s hope it lands on the right side this time.
