Souten No Kanata Game Rant

I'd give it: as a visual novel, a 4 out of 5


What I liked about it most:  the nice historic setting, good graphics, decent voice acting
Strong point: storyline is non-repetitive, since there is a unique storyline per character

What I didn't like about it: Too much kanji, and the heroine has too many monologues (and she doesn't have any voice, so it makes it hard to read the game if you're not good at Japanese)
Weak point: The fact that you can't really skip the scenes.  Sure you can speed up the dialogue, but you still have to go through every scene of the route like you're playing it for the first time, every time.  Make sure to have a strong wrist to click through the scenes.

If I had to give out cosplay awards:

Best Cross-Dresser Award - Ryuro-sama
(he might as well take the Heroine's job!)

Best Cloud Cosplayer - Shui
(forgot to bring his buster sword though)

Best Bleach Cosplay Award - Taishin (as Ichigo Kurosaki)

(he's still pretty much a sissy though lol)
