Instead of the cute little pixelated versions of all the characters, there’s now an assorted collection of selectable boxes with each character’s face inside it. Even the character select screen has changed completely.
#HIGURASHI DAYBREAK PC PORTABLE#
It seems there was a PSP port of Higurashi Daybreak, of course redubbed Higurashi Daybreak Portable (that’s like the standard for PSP ports) but the art in this game looks completely different. Hold on a second, I just found something really interesting. You can see the delightful little pixel characters in the background, but I want you to focus on the two deformed characters in the foreground. How the art in the show works (top) compared to how the art in the game works (bottom). You saw the cover art at the top of the page, right? It’s disgusting. They just look so deformed and different from the anime characters I can’t really stand to look directly at them for too long. Note that this has nothing to do with the little pixel characters in the character select screen, which were phenomenally done, I’m only criticizing the 3D models. Maybe it’s just because I’m a big fan of the anime, but the 3D models of the characters in this game make me wince. Don’t get me wrong, the art isn’t the most terrible thing I’ve ever seen, in fact I kind of enjoy the distinctive style, but it’s not too fun to look at. I try to avoid picking him as an ally or opponent just to snake around listening to him drolly say something that’s probably not even important to begin with.īut then there’s the artwork. Any of the other characters don’t seem to be so different that I can differentiate them, even if they really are using different actors, but Oishi seriously sounds miserable. He fails miserably, and even I can tell this by listening to it in a language I don’t understand. He talks so damn slow, and you can tell the voice actor is straining to get his vocals to match the real Oishi. His was one of the most distinctive voices in the anime, but in Daybreak he sounds like a complete r’tard. The only problem with the voiceovers that was obvious to a baka gaijin like myself was Oishi. So soothing.Īn example of Rena (from the anime) laughing. The voices make up for that thankfully, and I never get tired of hearing Rena’s psycho laugh next to Keiichi’s GAR ass voice. It was very refreshing though because the art holds no similarity to the actual anime’s style, which kind of makes it feel like it’s not a true Higurashi game. Of course it’s completely possible that they hired the real actors to do the game, but since it was a doujin game this was something I did not expect to hear.

Speaking of Japanese, I was listening to the voices of the game (oh yes, the game has FULL voiceover work) and they sound uncannily similar to the actual Japanese voice actors of the anime. If this game does have a story to go with all of this violence, I have no idea what it is because I was not born in space and therefore do not read or understand Moonspeak. It’s simple, catchy, and sets the mood for a lighthearted day of fun in Hinamizawa where everyone suddenly gets into a brawl and starts bashing each others faces in with scythes, cleavers, bats, cameras, and whatever they happen to be carrying at the time. It’s not like any of that complicated IIDX or Jubeat crap. Higurashi Daybreak has it’s own soundtrack, and the music is amazingly good. Let’s go straight to the first thing that caught my attention: the music. I just don’t happen to have that patch, so bear with the crazy moon symbols you are undoubtedly going to see.

I need to first point out that the version of the game I acquired is in Japanese, but since it’s a computer game there’s got to be someone out there with enough love for Higurashi and free time on their hands to create an English patch. You are now imagining Higurashi Daybreak. Just imagine a free moving fighting game featuring all of the characters from the original series, something similar to the PSP game Dissidia Final Fantasy, only with shittier art and four fighters on the screen at once separated into two teams.
#HIGURASHI DAYBREAK PC SERIES#
Not to be confused with the video game bearing the same title as the show, this doujin game was made after the series aired by a company called Twilight Frontier. But something not a lot of us baka neko gaijin’s know about is the video game that spawned from the series. If you’re an anime fan you’ve no doubt heard of the extremely popular gory murder mystery series Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, and maybe you’re even familiar with it’s second season and OVA, Kai and Rei (respectively). We’re going to be taking a break from Poison Swamp’s Souls for a little bit to look at something else I stumbled across not too long ago.
