The Magic Begins Here

This will be my final, overall thoughts for Bad Apple Wars, giving a basic summary of the game, my overall experience, some of my favorite moments, as well as links to all of my previous posts involving the game.

As can be expected, this is going to contain spoilers (I will be using White Mask's real name throughout the review), so you might want to hold off on this review if you haven’t completed the entire game yet as some plot points for certain routes are going to be revealed. I can’t give much further warning than this. This is my final review of the game, no holding back in this post.

This is your final spoiler warning.

This kid…

He turned out better than I thought he would. I was genuinely invested in his story and despite a few hiccups here and there, it was a pretty solid route. Rinka was also a little more tolerable this route, as the ‘Empy Inside’ is less prominently mentioned.

Still, now that I've completed all of the routes, I've gotten the distinct impression that the Good Apples side has the more compelling and interesting characters, which is a shame because all of the routes should be compelling and interesting.

It just... kinda fell short.

More in-depth thoughts and spoilers right below the cut.

This was another bae where I meant to get someone else first, but stumbled upon this one by mistake, but decided to continue with it anyway. (re: See Okazaki from Collar x Malice)

I based my ratings system off of JelloApocalypse's film reviews system. The system consists of whole numbers from 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. My previous system on tumblr had some flaws, as I couldn't make decisive decisions about the route's overall rating, especially giving some scores with decimals and fractions, so it was kind of a big mess. With this new system, I hope to make more concrete decisions on what felt about the character and the route in general. Keep in mind that pretty much all of this is opinion-based and, though I try to be fair to everyone, there's undoubtedly gonna be some bias here and there. You might like a character I hate, and you might hate a character I like.

Just keep in mind that all of the ratings are subjective and might need to be taken with a grain of salt. Also, the images presented may give a more or less accurate representation of upcoming Bae in Review scores if they do not presently have one uploaded. Images may also be subject to change. Also note that just because I gave a character a certain rating, that doesn't mean the entire game experience is hinged on this one, solitary character's score. I could love the entire game, save for this one element, or I could hate the entire thing, with this character being it's only saving grace. These images are examples and, again, could be subject to change
