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 The Imperial Capital Burns - Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse
I went in expecting a mecha action game and found a straightforward visual novel instead. The Imperial Capital Burns is a character-focused prequel that spends its time on dialogue, relationships, and slice-of-life moments at a military academy rather than combat. If you're already invested in the Muv-Luv franchise, this fills in backstory for how Yui and her peers became surface pilot cadets. The writing is competent but unremarkable for the genre, and the scope is modest - think a few hours of reading with minimal branching. This is pure fan service for the existing fanbase. It's not trying to be a gateway into Muv-Luv, and it doesn't need to be. If you want mecha action or deep narrative innovation, keep looking. If you're the type who replays visual novels for character moments and lore details, this one's worth your time.
