Aurelia is a retro stylized adventure game that at first plays similar to a point and click puzzle game, but eventually introduces further types of game play as well.

In the game you play as a young man who starts his own life in the land of Aurelia. As you explore the town and get to know everyone, you will take on various quests that will lead you on further and further adventures. The game has a main overarching story line involving a magical medallion, but there are tons of additional side missions as well. Aurelia is a very open ended game that allows you explore and figure things out on your own and do as you please. It's a lighthearted and occasionally comical story for the most part, but the games allows for more serious and endearing moments as well when appropriate.

Game play wise it starts out as a point and click adventure game where you move between static rooms and interact with the various characters and objects within them. As you progress the story further though, the game begins to introduce further mini-games as well such as an RPG dungeon crawler, a wave defense game, a sokoban puzzle game, and many many more. The quality of these mini-games vary with the RPG dungeon crawler probably being the most well fleshed out and done, containing tons of monsters to battle all with their own unique H scenes. The mini-games are enjoyable enough for what they are and serve as a good break between the point and click segments to keep the game constantly feeling fresh as you go. The mini-games never feel like they overstay their welcome and by the time you begin to grow tired of it you are likely done and moving onto the next one. It's a very well designed system where everything you do feels like it unlocking or progressing some greater goal within the game so everyone you do feels rewarding.

Probably one of the best aspects of the game is the real content of this game...The H content. The H scenes in Aurelia are primarily unlocked as you progress both the main stories as well as each of the side heroines stories. Each of the girls have their own story lines related to them, with the game giving you a lot of freedom in deciding for yourself which order you would like to do them in. The scenes are well animated and illustrated, with lots of detail and great writing to setup the scenes. In addition to the story scenes each of the dungeon crawler monsters all have their own scenes as well leading to a pretty impressive amount of H content overall.

Even if you are a person who does not typically play H games though I think the game offers a great experience for anyone looking for a fun and engaging retro style adventure game. If you are on the fence about the game due to the H content I think it is worth giving a shot with an open mind, as you can tell the developers wanted to not only create a great H game, but a fantastic game in general.

If you would like to see a closer look at what this game has to offer I have an extended video review over on YouTube with extra game play footage.
