Lucky Star - New Import, In Stock

Konata Izumi is a blue-haired teenager who's fanatical about video games and anime. Call her the female personification of what is commonly known as an otaku... a creature which is usually of the male gender. Konata's classmates and confidantes are Kagami Hiiragi, Tsukasa Hiiragi, and the aristocratic Miyuki Takara. Together, the quartet enjoy life, play video games, and find themselves involved in assorted escapades.

Lucky Star fits into the visual novel gaming genre in that it's heavy on the text and light on the actual interaction. The storyline follows a preset route as novels tend to do but the player does have some input albeit a negligible amount. Your job is to sit back and enjoy the characters, the conversations, and the story as it slowly unfolds. To enhance the Lucky Star experience, the scenarios in the game feature animated sequences, self-referential tidbits, and spoken dialogue provided by the voice actresses from the animated series. A special cameo appearance by a well known character also takes place towards the end of the game - we reveal her in the Game Notes linked below so please don't click if you don't want to view the spoiler and ruin your gaming experience. «NCS Game Notes»
