### 5/5 — Un vrai bijou

*2026-03-06*

Ce jeu est tout simplement une merveille d’écriture, jouez y et laissez vous porter par l’histoire et ses personnages, vous ne le regretterez pas.

### 5/5 — The MJ of Fiction

*2026-02-03, version 2.1.1*

Some of the greatest writing of all time in fiction

### 5/5 — High Quality Gacha JRPG with Beautiful Art

*2026-01-28*

I actually came across the Heaven Burns Red pop-up shop in one of the anime stores in Akihabara, Tokyo in Japan. At the time, only the JP version was available and I wish I was able to play it then. A year later, I was surprised the English version was released! I couldn't wait to download and play it. I love all of the references to other anime like Angel Beats, which is one of my favorites. This is a high quality gacha JRPG with a fantastic story, battle system and artwork. Don't miss out!!

### 5/5 — Extremely Underrated

*2026-01-20*

I really REALLY wish this game becomes more mainstream. In my opinion the music is very good and that's kinda what got me into the game, if you do ads you should focus more on the music to get more people invested.

### 5/5 — Peak game

*2026-01-09, version 2.1.1*

Y’all gotta play this

### 5/5 — Best gacha out there

*2025-11-14*

Super cute gacha. Worth playing!

### 5/5 — real

*2025-10-21*

the characters feel alive. the world feels so lived-in. it’s refreshing. all the dialogue is beautifully voiced. i adore the work put into this

### 5/5 — Giocando stupendo

*2025-10-17, version 2.0.4*

Heaven Burns Red è il gioco gdr più bello in assoluto, musica e combattimento e trama che ti lascia una lacrimuccia ed eventi molto belli

### 5/5 — Best protag in history

*2025-09-06, version 2.0.4*

Ruka is such an unhinged, unapologetically lesbian protag and I love her for that. The goofy out-of-pocket nonsense you see in the prologue (which you can try before downloading the rest of the game) is maintained throughout. Very much so a breath of fresh air compared to most other gacha. And it looks like there's even a main ship going on, with the other characters spurring them on and even having shippy moments of their own. The dialogue in general of this game is absolutely top tier, and you can tell how much care was put into the writing just from how you're given actually different dialogue options (looking at you Hoyo, constantly putting two options that are just two segments of the same sentence), and lengthy unique followup dialogue for each option. Still haven't gotten enough of those "connections" moments where the music playing makes it sound like you're going to make some profound discovery by connecting the points, when in reality it's just Ruka's two brain cells firing off at once. My favorite so far was "The cancer [monster]..."
1a) "has grown to a point where it..."
1b) "like how we used to, it..."
1c) "at incredible speeds, it..."

2a) "...needs to take a dump."
2b) "...wants to go home to see its parents."
2c) "...has gone on a diet."

And for all 9 potential combinations, you get unique dialogue for each. 1b and 2a earns you a side eye from Yuki as she congratulates Ruka for being able to surpass the need to take a dump, while 1c and 2a has Yuki getting concerned at the implications of how much energy it's gathering to be able to move so swiftly and require dumps so often. And every single piece of dialogue is fully and enthusiastically voiced. 

On top of the brilliant dialogue and banter, the story and worldbuilding itself is amazing. Expect the same level of writing, if not even better, from the two masterpieces of Charlotte and Angel Beats. Humanity is at the brink in this game, and despite being a gacha, the story does not shy away from this reality and the inevitable deaths that come with it. It's a slice of life at home base and real stakes and tension out on the battlefield, which I'd say is the perfect balance for an engaging story. While I do enjoy the combat (and the banger music that plays along with it) even as someone that doesn't usually like turn-based combat, I'd pay money even if this was just a standalone visual novel.

### 3/5 — Good visual novel but broken game balance

*2025-08-26*

I enjoyed the story but I can not progress anymore, my account starts to be stuck in limbo since chapter 4, if you don’t have very good meta supports your team do barely any damage even with gear and units maxed. So I looked at the tier list and I now I know that most banners are trash and I have to wait months for the broken units that make the battles less horrible.
