Hello all!
I'm new here... please check my intro @ the intro thread!
Anyway, I'm really interested in VNs with good gameplay (usually associated with battle/strategy, but not limited to). My favourite VN is Sengoku Rance.
I've also really liked Daiteitoku (the translated parts, at least). Daibanchou was okay.
Eien no Aselia was also pretty good, though still inferior to the above listed (in terms of gameplay) in my opinion.
Castle Fantasia Renewal 2 was a letdown to be honest... the generic gameplay soon became a drag rather than entertainment, offering no excitement whatsoever.
