Ōgon Musōkyoku (黄金夢想曲?, lit. Golden Fantasia), is a 2D versus fighting game developed and published by 07th Expansion. It is considered a side spin-off of the Umineko no Naku Koro ni murder mystery visual novel series and was originally released at Comiket 79 on December 31, 2010. The game was ported to the Xbox 360 by Alchemist in October 2011 with the name Ōgon Musōkyoku X (黄金夢想曲X?, lit. Golden Fantasia X), including a few more characters and balance tweaks.

Gameplay

Ōgon Musōkyoku is a fighting game that can be played by up to two players. Gameplay revolves around a tag-team battle system in which each player takes control of two characters, only one of which can be controlled at a time, but both of which can be switched out with the other through the game's "Touch" system. A "touch" can only be performed when a player's Touch Gauge is full (the gauge fills on its own over a set period of time). There are five kinds of touching methods, each of which uses up a different amount of the Touch Gauge: Normal Touch, which is used when the player isn't performing any other action; Attack Touch, which is performed when the player is in the middle of attacking an opponent; Guard Touch, for when the player is guarding against an opponent; Damage Touch, which can only be used when the player is damaged, and has the additional effect of creating a barrier that forces the opponent away from the player; and Assault Touch, in which the player performs a rushing attack towards an opponent before switching out.

Every character in the game has a unique ability which can be used to improve their own skills or their partners' skills for a limited period of time. There are two methods of activating abilities. The first method is through touching, which automatically activates the ability of the character being switched out and affects the character being switched in. The other method is by summoning the Metaworld, which not only drastically changes the background, but also activates the abilities of both the player character and his or her partner at the same time. The Metaworld can be summoned through use of the SP Gauge, which also allows characters to perform special, powerful attacks called "SP Supers" and "Meta Supers". However, two players cannot summon the Metaworld at the same time; the first player to summon the Metaworld will benefit from its effects, but it is possible for the other player to cancel out the opponent's Metaworld. The Metaworld will remain active until the summoner's Meta Gauge runs out.

Plot

The game is set on the island of Rokkenjima, where a series of mysterious deaths and disappearances take place over the course of October 4 and 5, 1986. The story focuses on a game of twisted logic between Beatrice, a legendary witch who claims she used magic to perform the murders, and Battler Ushiromiya, a young man who argues that the murders could be carried out by ordinary humans. As a tag-team game, the game's story mode follows multiple pairs of characters, each of which has their own story and ending that are considered to take place in an alternate continuity from Umineko no Naku Koro ni.

Characters

The game's characters are all based on their appearances in the original visual novels.

Battler Ushiromiya (右代宮 戦人 Ushiromiya Batora?)
Voiced by: Daisuke Ono
Battler is a well-rounded character who excels at close- to mid-range melee combat, and has a number of powerful SP Super and Meta Super attacks. His ability, "Resurrection," gradually restores the player character's health over time.
Ange Ushiromiya (右代宮 縁寿 Ushiromiya Enje?)
Voiced by: Rina Satō
Ange can close the distance between her and her opponent by summoning Sakutarō and the Seven Sisters of Purgatory, who can attack freely for her. Her ability, "Stun Boost," increases the chance of the player's attacks stunning an opponent, making the opponent susceptible to more attacks.
Shannon (紗音 Shanon?)
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya
Shannon has a defense-oriented fighting style that allows her to widen the distance between her and her opponent by creating barriers, which can nullify enemy attacks. Her ability, "Auto-Guard," allows the player to automatically block an opponent's attacks.
Kanon (嘉音?)
Voiced by: Yū Kobayashi
Kanon is a fast melee character who possesses an array of swift attacks that can quickly be strung together into combos. His ability, "Silent Attack," decreases the amount of SP the opponent gains while they are being attacked.
Lucifer (ルシファー Rushifā?)
Voiced by: Yuka Saitō
Lucifer excels at performing attacks after the player switches her in using an Attack Touch. Her ability, "Attack Touch," allows the player to perform a single Attack Touch even if the player's Touch Gauge isn't full.
Chiester 410 (シエスタ410 Shiesuta Yonichimaru?)
Voiced by: Eri Kitamura
Chiester 410 is a ranged fighter whose attacks can travel anywhere across the arena. Her ability, "Break Boost," increases the rate the opponent's Break Limit gauge will fill. The Break Limit gauge only fills when a player is blocking an attack; once completely filled, the target will suffer from a Guard Break, which leaves them open for attack.
Ronove (ロノウェ Ronowe?)
Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita
Ronove, similar to Shannon, is a defense-oriented fighter who specializes in blocking and parrying his opponents' attacks. His ability, "Counter Boost," increases the damage dealt by the player's counterattacks.
Eva Beatrice (エヴァ・ベアトリーチェ Eva Beatorīche?)
Voiced by: Miki Itō
Eva Beatrice is a melee fighter who specializes in close-range fighting and grappling. Her ability, "Berserk," drastically increases the player's attack strength.
Virgilia (ワルギリア Warugiria?)
Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue
Virgilia possesses a wide array of magical attacks and weapons designed to damage opponents regardless of her position in the arena. Her ability, "Brimful," gradually fills the player's SP Gauge over time.
Beatrice (ベアトリーチェ Beatorīche?)
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara
Beatrice excels in various magical attacks, and has an arsenal of powerful SP Supers. Her ability, "Infinity SP," allows the player to perform Super attacks without using SP.
Jessica Ushiromiya (右代宮 朱志香 Ushiromiya Jeshika?)
Voiced by: Marina Inoue
Jessica is an additional character included with an expansion patch for the original game, and will be available in the Xbox 360 port.[2][3] She is a close-range melee fighter who can change her attacks to deal additional damage. Her ability, "Shave Boost," allows the player to deal damage to an opponent even while the opponent is blocking.
George Ushiromiya (右代宮 譲治 Ushiromiya Jōji?)
Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura
George is an additional character who will be available in the Xbox 360 port,[3] and specializes in performing high- and low-range attacks to knock down his opponents. His ability, "Patience," causes the player's SP Gauge to fill while blocking attacks.
Rosa Ushiromiya (右代宮 楼座 Ushiromiya Rōza?)
Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu
Rosa is an additional character who will be available in the Xbox 360 port. Her attack style and abilities are unknown.[3]

Release history

Ōgon Musōkyoku was released on December 31, 2010 at Comiket 79. An official soundtrack of the game was released the same day.[4] On July 8, 2011, a patch was released that included Jessica as a playable character, as well as improved netplay, a replay section, CGs section, character-specific HP, and normal display settings for smoother gameplay. A sequel, tentatively titled Ōgon Musōkyoku 2 (黄金夢想曲2?, lit. Golden Fantasia 2), is scheduled for release at either Comiket 80 in August 2011 or Comiket 81 in December 2011, with Ryukishi07 speculating the latter to be more likely.[5] The sequel's development includes a drawing contest held between July 15 and August 15, 2011 on the commercial online community Pixiv where the winner would be commissioned to provide CG artwork for the game.[6] An Xbox 360 port of the original game developed by Alchemist was released on October 6, 2011 under the title Ōgon Musōkyoku X (黄金夢想曲X?, lit. Golden Fantasia X).[3]
