Since there is so much more history connected to the story, Sunrider screams ‘supplemental material’ more than any other EVN I’ve played to date, and I really appreciate that kind of forward thinking in what will clearly be a series. Each of the characters feels more relevant since their choices throughout the game are often influenced by their personal histories. I may be a sucker for this type of world-building, but here it really does make the Sunrider universe feel older and the rise of PACT more natural. Sunrider is rich in lore and usually finds clever ways to interweave the world’s history into the game’s narrative. I will come back to this in a moment, but let’s start off with some stuff I liked about the game’s story because there is a good bit of that.
The OTHER half of the story is classic of the harem subgenre where an average guy finds himself surrounded by a group of girls who all, inconceivably, craves his penis. Unfortunately, I only described one half of the game’s story. The setting for Sunrider is a classic as far as space operas and war stories are concerned, meaning you’d think there wouldn’t be much that could be screwed up here.
The Sunrider manages to escape the battle just as Cera is decimated by PACT and now, with a galactic war inevitable, the Sunrider must make its way through the neutral rim and find allies to fight back. The invasion happens just as Shields is installed as Captain of the new Ceran warship: Sunrider. With thousands of ships at their command, PACT begins a campaign through a neutral rim of planets, devastating the planet of Cera home of our protagonist: Kayto Shields. In a universe similar but different from our own, the People’s Alliance for Common Treatment, or PACT, have conquered hundreds of worlds in a bid to control the universe. Oh and I’ll be discussing a few things that are spoilers. With that in mind, let’s take a look at Sunrider: First Arrival and see if it reaches for the stars…or the skirts… While I am more prudish than many others in this community, I don’t mind boobs as long as they don’t take away from the larger story. Now, that in and of itself isn’t a bad thing. The group has down more explicit work in the past and it was clear once the body pillows rolled out that the game was going to have its share of fanservice, which I probably should’ve figured considering this is moe girls fighting in space.
That excitement tempered some when I saw some of the planned merchandise for Love in Space’s Sunrider. So, considering my love for the subgenres, it will come as no surprise to you that I was excited by the announcements last year of new mecha and space drama EVNs to join the Rising Angels and Touhou Mecha series.

And while those series set a ridiculously high bar for anyone to follow, it remains one of the most imaginative fields an author can write about. However, if I remember my youth correctly, girls loved Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop and Gundam Wing (I was more of a UC fan boy) just as much, if not more, than the fan boys I ran with at the time. Some would argue, truthfully, that the majority of EVN audience now is female, so their projects skew towards them. Considering the influence space operas and mecha anime have had on Western culture, I am legitimately surprised it doesn’t make up a large portion of the English Visual Novel community.
