In-Depth Review
Game Overview
Burning Horns: A Bara Isekai JRPG transports players to a realm where free love and equality reign supreme—until a demon threatens to dismantle this utopian society. Protagonist Diego, a firefighter student from São Paulo, is summoned to this magical world to confront the demon Onoob Asrol and restore peace. The game emphasizes LGBTQ+ themes, adult content, and a unique blend of isekai and bara aesthetics.
Core Gameplay Mechanics
The title retains classic JRPG elements, including level-up systems, party-based combat, and an immersive world to explore. Players can recruit diverse allies—humans, elves, satyrs, and merfolk—and engage in turn-based battles. Choices matter, with branching narratives influenced by player decisions. The game also features a “rainbow insignia” spell system, allowing Diego to harness magical abilities tied to his character development.
Visual and Audio Design
Visually, the game showcases vibrant, anime-inspired artwork with detailed character designs. While the RPG Maker engine occasionally limits resolution scaling, the art style remains distinctive and engaging. The soundtrack, though sometimes uneven in volume, complements the game’s fantasy setting. Voice acting is minimal but effective, with subtitles available for accessibility.
Community Feedback and Reception
Steam users have praised the game’s bold narrative and LGBTQ+ representation, with a 92% positive review rate (12/13 reviews). Critics highlight its unique bara-inspired art and fun combat mechanics. However, some note potential improvements in story pacing and difficulty balancing. The game’s adult content is handled with care, offering both NSFW and SFW versions.
