![]() Heartwarming, certainly, but with one problem: Kayto had nothing to do with it. By the story’s end, they have made up and stopped impersonating each other. Instead, the story is resolved in an extremely convenient fashion: as Chigara coaches Lynn to act like her, the sisters find common ground to bond, and resolve their differences. This could have been the setup for a psychological thriller. It gets to the point where Kayto can’t tell who is who anymore. ![]() Worse, Chigara gives in to her sister’s whims, allowing Lynn to take her place in the Academy. After all, Chigara is the favored daughter - created by their parents to be the perfect girl.Īs the story progresses, Lynn tries to impersonate Chigara and steal Kayto from her. Chigara just wants to get along, but Lynn wants to take everything from her sister. Where Chigara is all sunshine and bubbles, Lynn is broody and depressive. The conflict in her route is driven by her twin sister, Lynn. She is also meek, innocent and girlish, the very definition of a moeblob. She’s a genius, but she’d rather be a baker. Chigara is the captain of the science club. I’m a pessimist, so I’ll start with the worst route: Chigara’s. To illustrate this, I’m going to break down the romance routes in the story. Tropes are not bad in of themselves, but the developers relied far too heavily on them to carry the plot instead of building on them to build better stories. Sunrider Academy relies on a number of well-established VN, anime and manga tropes: the overachieving childhood friend, the moeblob, the genki girl, the emotionless girl, conveniently contrived clumsiness leading to predictable perverse positions, and so on. While Sunrider Academy delivers competent stories for all four routes, it is hamstrung by its Japanese influence. When you choose a girl to pursue, the humour gives way to drama, teenage angst, and romance. The common route, spanning the first few months, is chock-full of in-jokes and moments of hilarity. The player must juggle Kayto’s studies, club affairs and love life over an increasingly hectic school year. And, Kayto has to keep his grades up to retain his position. When he goes to school, his childhood friend Ava Crescrentia, President of the Student Council, charges Kayto with turning around three sports clubs in danger of being disbanded by the school. ![]() In the beginning of his second year, he promises his kid sister Maray that he would get a girlfriend. In Sunrider Academy, you play the role of Kayto Shields, Vice President of the Student Council. That said, I enjoyed my overall experience with the game. If not for its tangential connection to the Sunrider series I wouldn’t even have picked up Sunrider Academy. I don’t play dating sims, and visual novels only rarely. Where the original game was a turn-based strategy game featuring intense battles between starships and mecha, Sunrider Academy is a time/stat management dating sim. The Sunrider series is a collection of visual novels powered by the Ren’Py engine, with gameplay sections interspaced with VN storytelling segments. Set in an alternate universe, Sunrider Academy reimagines the main characters as high school students. This is my first guide on Steam, so if I miss something, please let me know.Sunrider Academy is a spin-off from the Sunrider series. This guide also came in different languages: And this guide will not talk about the amount of affection needed for a certain events to trigger, or the amount of affection needed to start a spesific girls route, because I don't have enough information on that (if you have, please share!) This guide is focusing on the event you have to manually triggered on the couple months before pure day, because after that, when you already entered a specific girl's route, the events will most likely be automatically triggered (some of them still have to be manually triggered, though). You can't choose more than one, but you can unlock all of them at once, so when you finish one of the girls route, you can just load your savegame to the point when you choose a specific girl's route without having to restart the whole game, and thus making the game less harder. Common route is the beginning to a specific girl's route. Common route is the part where you, as Kayto Shields, tries to getting closer to the girl(s) you like, so on the Pure day, Kayto will get a girlfriend and make his little sister proud.
