Compare Prices(4 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About DATE A LIVE: Ren Dystopia – Deluxe Edition
I'll be straight with you: this is a visual novel first, sim second. You're playing Shido navigating romance with Ren, a mysterious spirit, across branching dialogue trees and relationship progression systems. There's no spreadsheet optimization here, no emergent systems to exploit. The appeal is purely narrative-driven character building and watching relationship meters climb as you pick the right dialogue options. For the DATE A LIVE faithful, the reviews suggest this hits the mark on fan service and story depth. The 96% positive rating indicates Idea Factory nailed what the existing audience wanted. If you're looking for tactical depth or complex systems to master, this isn't it. But if you want a solid visual novel experience with good controller support and Steam achievement hunting, the player sentiment points to a safe purchase within its niche.
