Princess Evangile W Happiness - Steam Edition

I put the patch in and it somehow became a demo.

I am never buying a game that needs to be patched from Steam again!

This game may be getting a bit old, but it is still a great vn. I bought this game first, and didn't really appreciate it until I bought the original and played it right through, then this game really came into it's own. All the stories are great, and each have a heartwarming ending. What more can you ask for.

(I have a lot more hours on the main game which I own in another exe format, not on steam)
This visual novel is quite lazy in its character designs (All girls share the same face with the only variation being eyes, body and hair, and there are lots of disembodied voices). The romance is stale, generic, lackluster, or even boring. Same goes for some of the dialogue. Thats about the extent of criticism.
The story and writing are quite compelling for the genre, with each of the routes having some decently written drama and satisfying conclusions. One of the central themes is moving on from the past to a brighter future, and all the characters and routes deal with this in some way, coming to terms with their past and living in the moment to shape a better tomorrow. The game handles well for a visual novel and is very intuitive.
With happiness is a solid expansion with good add-on routes, the writing is on par with the base game and even exceeds it in a lot of cases, and it has many hours of content. Easy recommendation for those inclined/ partial to visual novels.

This fandisk was... alright. Here we have some extra routes for the side characters which were never given routes for in the original game, and this was nice since many of them were very likeable characters and deserving of routes. However, after having read through all of them, I am slightly disappointed. These new routes were very weak in comparison to the original 4 routes in the first game (which I found really good). Though I guess maybe that's a given since this is only a fandisk. Otherwise I wouldn't say this is outright terrible either. If you liked the original Princess Evangile then give this one a go. Just don't set your expectations too high...

It was good to see our favorite side-heroines had their own route even though they were highly inferior to the original 2 main heroines. Ritsuko is the BEST WIFE!!!!

I really do love the game and it would wholeheartedly recommend it. That said, i do feel the need to warn anyone that the game is not complete. They technically don't lie when they say that chapters 1-13 are in the game for those who haven't played the original and that it is the common route. What they don't say explicitly is that the common route isn't the entire first game. I admit it seems obvious upon reflection that the common route is everything leading up to the character specific routes, but it still feels incredibly dishonest. In conclusion, buy the original game and play it before you buy this. If you aren't willing to buy both, then purchasing this is a complete waste of time as jumping from the common route before you hooked up with the girl of your choice strait to an after story just does not go well.

It's definitely a nice addition to the original game, but some of the routes were clearly worse than the others. But at the very least we got to see more of the 4 girls, Rise, Chiho, Ayaka and Ritsuko we all know and love and that's always a positive. While I was happy about Ruriko finally getting her well deserved spotlight, the ending felt pretty odd, at least to me. Nonetheless, I'm happy overall, especially since Princess Evangile was my first ever visual novel.

As for best girl... It's so hard to choose between Rise and Chiho. On another day I might say Chiho, but right now, I'd say Rise!

It's honestly a fun game when it comes to the story aspect. Now of course it's not a game for everyone out there but if you're in to this kind of stuff I say go for it.

To put it short:

It is kind of an extension to the "Main-Game" "Princess Evangile". Nothing really changed from mechanics and the music is still good. The Seiyus are still the same, same artist, same devs, ... same good work.

The Game includes the Routes/Stories of all the other mademoiselles: Ruriko, Konomi, Mitsuki, Tamie and Marika and also the four after Stories of Rise, Ritsuko, Ayaka and Chiho.

The epilogues included 2 chapters each ( ones roughly [atleast for me] 2h long ) and the "another stories" included 4 each.

I finished so far Rurikos Route.

Buy this game, if you liked the "Main Game". If you are interesed in R-18: there is a patch avaiable on the publishers site, MangaGamer.

There is nothing left to say, have fun.

with sincerly greetings Kota

Goes without saying but buy the main game first, this is basically an add on.

Frankly, this addition isn't worth your time at all unless you download the patch. Each story line lasts about 30 minutes without it. It's the only way you will get much out of it. Aside from that the epilogues themselves are kind of empty to say the least, they do offer more cutesy stuff though, so if you enjoyed that from the main game then you'll love it here. The additional story lines are definitely the weakest link though, it doesn't feel as natural or as genuine as the original 4. It makes a lot of sense after all, this is really just an excuse to get to have some 18+ scenes with them but it was disappointing nonetheless. It does make sense but again: download the patch. Your're missing most of the content without it. Here's a link to that
(18+, NSFW, in case I needed to say it)

This is the fandisc for Princess Evangile. I think fandisc is different way of saying “Expansion”, but I am not completely sure… Anyway, it is as well-written as the “main” game. In it are epilogue/after stories for the four heroines of the base game, and five new “routes” for some of the girls that were overlooked (and had a bit of a possible romance vibe in the “main” game).

There is also a “common” route that you can play if you skipped the first game, or want a refresher. Note: it only contains Chapters 0-13 of the main game.

I should also probably mention that this was one of the first games where Mangagamer published a free “patch”. Each heroine gets two to three love scenes, with five CG blocks combined.

Thoughts on the routes… Well, it appears the after stories are two chapters long, while the added paths are four chapters long. Ayaka’s after story was interesting, and showed some growth for her. It also ended with Masaya’s graduation day.

Marika’s route was fun, though there is a bit of light bondage in it (because Marika needed help overcoming certain… reluctances… at her own request). Also, having the honored Student Council Leader fall for you might be… deleterious to your chances of winning the integration vote… Also… she likes karaoke… and the first song she sings is the opening song from the main game.

Rise’s epilogue was fun, showed the lengths she was willing to go to get things done, and also how she was dealing with being the “transitional” Le Toute Soeur.

Mitsuki’s route was nice, as her confidence issues are dealt with. For once the moon eclipsed the sun. Still, there were some sad points, notably that the Grande Vote went the Red Roses’ way… but the ending is still nice.

Chiho’s epilogue… wow. The description at the selection screen seemed a bit foolish, so that is why I decided to read it sooner. But… well, it is beautiful. While the detail of Chiho’s
“growth spurt” and how it was affecting her chances at Nationals was a bit odd, the story evolved into something else, and ended some years down the road… With a potential future Vincennes student that acts like her mother…

Ritsuko’s epilogue was sweet. A very loving couple that tries hard to be prim and proper at school… and not so proper when their feelings overflow when in private. Well worth a read.

Ruriko’s story… well, it was interesting. Ruriko is a true lady, down to bowing. The love story was beautiful. However, outside stresses caused a lack of focus on the Grande Vote, so reform failed… But love managed to overcome that… and Masaya even got a nice temp job out of it…

Tamie’s story was a very fun little story. The amnesia plot twist made me realize that one of the key points in the original that is skipped in the “other stories” is him hitting his head and remembering the summer festival with Rise, which… frankly I kind-of miss because it is a very important plot point for the entire story… That said, I liked this story, even though the focus on Tamie by Masaya meant that the Grande Vote for reform failed… perhaps that since these “other” stories are so short, they don’t have the space to bring about that change?

Konomi’s story was cute. The naginata brought the two together and caused their love to grow. Masaya even managed to give her pointers that allowed her to win at Nationals. Image played a large role in the rest of the story. Both that her image of herself made it hard for Konomi to realize her feelings for Masaya… and how it affected the Grande Vote. Still a nice story. And Masaya is a warrior through-and-through.

Fully recommend.

There may be spoilers I´m not sure, it depends on ones interpretation of what you read. But I´m not intentionally doing it. I´m just speaking my mind and will try to formulate myself safe enough. But again I don´t know. Anyway...

And so the journey ends again. Man... I already missed it and the feeling of seeing them all again, and I can´t wait for this feeling to be over because honestly I don´t like it :´( Felt a bit skippy, Like their last 3 chapters felt shorter than the respective main routes 3 chapters. Naturally not strange as it´s the side chracters now. But sometimes weeks & months went by in a flash like Summer Break and jump straight to the Grande Vote and then from there straight to Graduation. But overall it was great for what it was. I think the way it was released as the same game with additional stories was questionable. In reality of things you spend over $30 for 4 after stories which is over the top. But do I regret it? No. I got what I was hoping for. Not much to say about it really. Wonderful girls, drama, comedy... Always a pleasure to play.

Ritsuko is still my main girl, that route simply had most of it all. And what I girl she is and became.
But Tamie is the winner in this one, personally I felt more connected with her personality and doings. She likes to travel, joke, tease and punch you in a friendly way. All in all a physical girl. Right up my alley. Some damn fine CG´s and the chibis felt extra cute this time, especially on Marika´s route xD

I based my order on the introductions and not by favorites and jump straight to the one you longed for the most. And also somewhat based on my expectations from the first game with the characters. So I did Marika, Mitsuki, Konomi, Ruriko and Tamie. They all surprised me, or actually Ruriko and Tamie was pretty much what I expected because they both had expressed and hinted their affection towards Masaya all along. Marika and Mitsuki was a different story though due to their agendas and stuff.

Marika is of great wife material. Period!
Mitsuki of great girlfriend material (GOD her bashfulness <3).
Konomi I expected to be hilarious and ignorant about love and sex and I got that in plenty with her (Not the most tactful one when it comes to certain subjects in public xD). She was cute af though and being a fan of and practiced martial arts she scored extra points with the whole Naginata thing even if I already knew that, just nice to get a better insight in that lifestyle.
Ruriko is... Well Ruriko ;D Ignorant of her shamfulness, or is she ;) Hopeless at times in a good way. Sexy obviously. The ending was honestly a bit disappointing. Left me the least touched. Hilarious though when I called her fathers proposal to Masaya xD

And finally Tamie... That girl is thirsty and likes kissing. Actually they were all more or less thirsty like damn. They turned up the lewd in the after stories. Some noisy sessions here and there for sure haha. But she was awesome and the story was the most intriguing by far even just from the introduction alone, that last sentence gave me enough reason alone to save her for last. And what a "thing" that was.

Conclussion of the routes:

Marika - Most heartwarming.
Mitsuki - Most developing.
Konomi - Most hilarious.
Ruriko - Most expected.
Tamie - Most giving.

My memory of it all is a bit off, but as of now that´s how I think I would sum them up. Sounds about right. I only wish for one thing:

GIVE ME SISTER MISHIMA!!!! She diserves love too x_O I think she could become my new favorite. That´s one cheeky nun alright ;P Not the most obligated and by-the-book kind you can tell hehe ;} She has a thing for Masaya oh yeah. GET! *clap* ON! *clap* IT! *clap*

if you like the main game, you will like this game too.

I played the first game before and this one is a very nice extra. The new extra routes are very well made.

But I would only buy it for the extra routes and would recommend to play the first game before playing this game, because the main routes are more intensive. But of course as a truly fan of this game the extra edition is a must and it was absolute worth to buy it even when this game is not as long as the main game. I enjoyed the routes and this is the first game in which I becomes emotional ^^. . This game is suitable for the youth reader and for the older anime fans. Especially the older fans will enjoy it to feel young again (: Especially if you like school visual novels this is the right novel for you. It is a mix between love stories and school life. The only man at a girls school sounds like a dream and it is truly a wonderful dream. Even when it is a dreamworld. The only moment where your might a bit sad is if you have finished the game, because you might want to play the routes for ever. ^^

I realy like this game. But if you didn't play original then I would recommend play it first.

Princess Evangelie /w happiness is fandisc to base Princess Evangelie VN.
It contains epilogues/afterstories for 4 heroines from base game and new routes for the other 5 heroines that didnt have route in base game. It also contains part of common route from base game, first 13 chapters, which is cca 20 hours of content alone but if you didnt read base game it wont satisfy you and you will end up buying it anyway (speaking from expirience).

I enjoyed PE /w happiness a lot more then base game. PE had really ridiculus and retarded premise, protagonist is only male student invited into high class all girls shool. If you are familiar with A Kiss For The Petals (Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo) then you know what kind of school this is. PE is moege but still insist on having some drama in theyr routes, but drama there is pretty cheap and cringe worthy. I was kind of dissatisfied with heroine routes in base PE, specialy Rise route felt really weird.

That said PE /w happiness avoids most of shool related ridiculus backstory and totaly ignores drama, so what you get is pure moe :)
Really PE /w happiness content focuses on fun and cuteness and is ridiculusly good at it.

Fandisk equals fanservice and there is quite lot of it, that said steam version of this VN is indeed censored BUT you can get FREE adult content patch directly from mangagamer ... no additional costs. WAY TO GO MANGAGAMER!

This is great VN for fans of cute girls and fun stories.
If you read PE then this is more of the good stuff, if you didnt you can enjoy this VN too, but it will most likely make you buy base PE as well.

Chiho is the best girl !

Allow me to be the first one to put a halt to this games 100 percent positive reviews.
Now by all means this is a good game, its design is great, its story is great, I can't really find a flaw in the game itself....

However

The description and the way its put up on steam is horribly deceptive. the way the game description describes it makes it sound like a direct upgrade to the first game, with the only differance being the adition of more content. After all, in its own words, "Includes the original common route and a route for all nine heroines!"

I unfortunatly fell victim to this flawd description, Thinking I was buying a nice tidied up version of the original game with a couple of extra routes and storys. NOT ONCE UNTIL THE VERY END OF CHAPTER 13 WAS I TOLD THAT THE COMMOM ROUTE WAS NOT FULLY INCLUDED. Instead I was told from reading the description that it DID include the original common route. It's blatant false-advertisement.

What I got instead one third of a completed game and a little message at the very end of my short lived enjoyment telling me to go f**K myself and pay ANOTHER £26 for the ACTUAL game. If im going to be completely honest it almost seems like this was done on purpose.

So, to concude, Do what ever the hell you want
The game is good, seriously it's great, if you have £26 lying around the go ahead!
I honestly feel brutaly betrayed by what happened to me, its not like I can get a refund after 18 hours of playtime....

Just for the love of god don't make the same mistake as me. (Even though it was more of a trap...)
screw this and go to the page of the actualy game, and maybe then you might still want to pay £26 for a glorified DLC

And if any one of the development team happen to be reading my attempt at warning people of making my mistake...

FIX YOUR DAMM DESCRIPTION ALREADY AND ADD SOME KIND OF WARNING SOMEWHERE WHEN YOU CLICK THE COMMON ROUTE!!!!!!!

Wonderful game. This game is actually a fandisc of the orginal game Princess Evangile. This game has the first 13 chapters of the common route included from the first game. However, Chapter 14-16 are not inclued because the new heroines' routes, "Another Story", starts immediately after chapter 13. So Chapter 14-16 are not needed. However, For the original heorines's after stories, you will need to play the first game to see chapter 1-16 of the common route and also play their individual routes.

This game has after stories for those four heroines of the first game, and in addiition there are five new heroines' Routes. So that’s a total of four After Stories and five new heroines' Routes. All the heroines themselves are given their own unique traits and distinct personalities. It’s very interesting to see their character developement throughout the course of the game. Each girls have their own motives and goals as well as conflicts which the Protagonist must help them overcome. In addition the character interactions in the game are funny and enjoying.

The art and character designs are very beautiful and well drawn. The music is very well done and fits the mood. The game is pretty long and very satisfying so it’s definitely worth the price. If you want to play the game with h-scenes you can download the 18+ patch for free.

I really enjoyed this game and I recommend others to play it as well.

The epic fandisc to the original Princess Evangile!

If you ever wanted a route for any of the side-characters from the original game or an epilogue for the 4 main heroines (specially for the one with a more "bittersweet" ending), this has all of it!

I thought I would write this review (which I do not often excersise) but for this pariticular VN, I really felt compelled to.

Many VN novels appear to cater to fan fare but Princess Evangile W Happines is comparativly uniqie. This VN is the best written of all my VNs combined. I have never laughed so many times while reading and I am olny on chapter 5. The humor of all the events of one male getting an education at a all female student academy was outrageously funny. The poor guy was so exposed to undeserved malicious abuse from female students who discriminately hated all males let alone just 1 male.

The art and sexyness is exceptional and there are many female characters the protaganist eventially becomes friends with. There is much to the story so I encourage readers to check it out.

waited so long for this and its well worth it
10/10 Ritsuko best grill

(ill do a proper review when i finish all routes)

WARNING

I have read 2 routes of the last Princess Evangile game so please, take this whole review with a grain of salt. Everyone has their own tastes and likes/dislikes so this review may not apply to you at all. This is all MY opinion. I have currently only read 1 route of Princess Evangile W Happiness as of this review. Right now, I am overall very happy with this sequel. This review is technically a WIP and I will update it as need be when I finish all the routes.

So to start off, this is technically a direct sequel to Princess Evangile and all of the routes in the previous game. Each character has some epilogue chapters. However along with the new chapters there are 5 more for the other major side characters in the first game. Before I address anything else though let's look through the goods/bads of this VN.

Pros & Cons

The Artwork Its top-notch. Beautiful scenery and vibrant colors coupled with everything else make this a very pleasant to look at VN. It has obviously has a lot of time and effort put into it.

The Music Is amazing. It isnt too much different from the first Princess Evangile so don't get your hopes up if you are looking for something different though. However it is all very well done music and fits very well with the overall theme.

The Options/Choices By options I dont mean in-game choices impacting the story, I mean the fact that you can play so many different routes and every single one is COMPLETELY unique and for that character only. There are none of the choices that impact the end-game or your route since in this VN you pre-pick your route from the get go.

The Characters They are just as great as they were, but better. There is more story for each of the characters and each one of those characters are very well drawn, well voiced, well written (in my opinion), and has just a super special and unique personality that makes reading each route special.

The Writing Ive been singing praises about this game however there are indeed some "meh" things. The writing can feel a bit stale (at least in the route I played). It more or less just felt out of place sometimes (granted, very FEW times), but this can be a problem for some people so I addressed it here. The writing overall is good but it isnt a masterpiece of any kind.

The Length of The Epilogue Chapters Listen, I know making a VN is hard work and considering all the stuff that is in this VN then I cant blame it too much, but the epilogue chapters were just so short. I expected it to be short, dont get me wrong, but this just felt TOO short if you know what I mean. Again, I have only played one route, but it took me about an hour and a half to finish it. It does depend on your reading level and speed though so you may take 3-4 hours to finish and some people may take 45 minutes, just take it with a grain of salt.

The Price Its a very well done VN (my favorite VN series in fact) , but base price of $35 is really getting up there. Its on the line of too expensive in my opinion. I think $25-30 would have been better but $35 definitely isnt stretching it so even if you buy at base price, its worth it.

The Sexual Content This is obviously the all ages version so there is cut content since Steam doesnt allow porn. I personally don't care whether there is explicit content, but a lot of people do apparently so if you really want it, buy this on their site as you'll get the "full" version. This visual novel though (Princess Evangile W Happiness) focuses a lot on the sexual content (again, at least in the route I played). The writing blatantly shows it at certain points.

The Voicing There is again voice acting! There isnt much to say here other than its really well done. It feels and sounds correct to the situations the characters are put into. Just good voice acting.

Availability By this I mean, is it welcoming to readers who haven't read the last Princess Evangile? Yes it is, somewhat. The 4 main routes from the previous VN are in this game, but only the first 13 chapters of the game. It stops at the point to where you pick a girl and go that route in the first game. I think you can read this w/out reading the entire first Princess Evangile however it just wouldn't do it justice at all and it would be a very unsatifying experience in my opinion. Read the first if you truly want the best experience from this.

The Story/Plot Its amazing. If you haven't read the first Princess Evangile then you really should since its splendid. This one just sort-of continues the story (depending on the route you choose) and it is still very well done and engaging.

Overall

8/10

In my personal opinion I think this game is absolutely wonderful. I'll be honest though, I am a bit biased since I loved the first Princess Evangile. However if you played the last one you won't see much has changed which can be good for some and bad for others. I love Princess Evangile W Happiness. Its light-hearted and charming, but can also be super intense at times and put forth great drama and suspense to the reader. There are jokes and lines in here that I genuinely laughed at becuase they were funny. Not cringe funny (although there is that too), but because they were just funny. This series of Visual Novels have a certain charm about it that other visual novels just dont have. I highly recommend you get this on sale, and even at base price (though like I stated its a lil' steep). This is a fun read and I will always enjoy seeing the characters, drama, story-line and everything else just unfold before me.

Extra I will update this review as I complete more routes and finish the whole thing.
