Branching Story · Comedy

Little Busters! is a visual novel that leans heavily on its cast of characters and the slice-of-life moments they share. The gameplay centers on navigating dialogue choices, building relationships with the story's heroines, and experiencing the emotional highs and lows of the "Little Busters" group. What makes it stick in the memory, though, is its skillful blend of comedy and drama, and the way it uses its lengthy runtime to develop characters and themes.

About Little Busters! English Edition

Details
Riki was a child when his parents died, leaving him hopeless and depressed. What saved him was a group of four kids calling themselves the Little Busters. They took Riki out and played with him during his time of need. He really enjoyed being together with them, and his grief gradually faded away. Now in his second year of high school they still hang out, fight and live together, and enjoy their school life. Little Busters! contains several mini-games, including a baseball practice game and a duel battle system.
