"A very small, yet very large, and very precious, fairy tale of love and courage..." The first volume of the mega-hit series with over 800,000 copies sold comes to iPhone! A massive romance/hard sci-fi game with two intertwining stories, totaling over 40 hours in all! --- Story --- Muv-Luv Extra Takeru is your average unassuming high school senior whose entire world gets turned upside down one morning when he awakens to find himself in bed with the heiress to one of the world’s largest international conglomerates. She calls herself Meiya, and - despite never having met him before - she insists that the two of them are destined for one another. This comes much to the chagrin of his childhood friend Sumika, the girl next door who’s always had feelings for him, who realizes that if she doesn’t act fast, she might just lose him forever. All of which begs the question: just who is Meiya? And do his feelings for Sumika run deeper than he thought? In the end, he’ll need to decide between the girl who’s been with him through thick and thin, or the stranger who claims they’re bound together by fate. But that’s only one side of the story. Muv-Luv Unlimited Just as the page turns on Takeru’s happily ever after, he awakens one morning in a world not his own. An alternate timeline, humanity on the brink of extinction. A world infested by alien invaders locked in a war that’s been raging on for decades. And yet, all the set pieces are the same - his house is still here, albeit dilapidated and barely standing. His school is still here, though it’s now a military academy. And even though they don’t recognize him, all his friends are here too… with one exception. Was this all just a dream? Or was the world he thought he knew really a dream all along? Full English support! (Voice: Japanese only Text: Japanese/English, selectable from options) Supported OS: iOS 14.5 or later Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch *If performance is unstable, enabling "Options ⇒ Screen ⇒ Low Resolution Mode" may resolve the issue.
