With that said, this release marks the first official release of Utawarerumono in English on the PC, even though an unofficial translation patch for the original game has been around for over a decade.įor those curious about the title that just rolls right off the tongue, “Utawarerumono” is made up of three words mashed together, and literally translates to “ thing singing is ”, although a more illuminating translation would be “The One of Whom Legends Are Sung”.ĭangerHighDoltage made a review for the PS4 port last year written as someone who had played other Utawarerumono games and seen the anime and generally already been a fan, however, being as this game may well be older than some people reading this review, and this being my first real experience with Utawarerumono, personally, I’ll be writing a review that covers the whole game for someone new to the series. This isn’t even counting the manga, the full-length 2006 anime (which was quite well-received and can be viewed on Funimation), another manga, a movie, and two even longer sequel games that got their own multiple releases and spin-off media like anime.
Utwarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen is the re-re-re-release of what was a game first released in 2002, being released on six different platforms, including PC in several different versions (including this one), making this game behind only the likes of Skyrim, DOOM, or anything Nintendo owns the rights to from the NES days for the number of re-releases and ports it gets to different hardware.
