We have got you covered as we explore the Utawarerumono series with their latest installment “Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth.” The first title, Utawarerumono, was originally released in Japan in April of 2002, which unfortunately never made its way to the West. The series became popular with its in-depth story and likable characters which eventually spun three manga adaptions, a 26 episode anime series which aired in 2006 and three OVA episodes which were later produced and released between the year 2009 and 2010. Luckily fans of the genre could rejoice as Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception was localized and released just this past May and now just 4 months later, fans of the series can finish the story with the release of Mask of Truth on September 5th. The series has no doubt made a name for itself, and there is a very good reason for that. I haven’t played many RPG themed visual novels, so I was interested to see how well this would play out.","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com\u002Freview\u002Futawarerumono-mask-of-truth-review\u002F","82",82,{"id":110,"author":111,"outlet":114,"summary":119,"review_url":120,"review_date":121,"original_score":122,"normalized_score":79},64592,{"id":112,"name":113},2813,"Brandon Langrock",{"id":115,"logo":116,"name":117,"website_url":118,"score_format":60},27,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpew-Logo.jpg","GameSpew","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com","Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth is an unfortunately lengthy adventure with some fantastic characters, an intriguing narrative, and a simple but enjoyable strategic battle system.

While there is no denying that combat sequences alleviate some of the tedium, these moments are far too scarce to keep players invested and wanting more.
