If you’ve been thinking about getting into the Muv-Luv visual novels or wish to expand your collection on Steam, Humble Bundle is currently offering The Many Worlds of Muv-Luv bundle, which gives you up to 10 titles in the series for US$26.
For comparison, getting both the original Muv-Luv (which includes a second part called Muv-Luv Unlimited) and its sci-fi war drama sequel Muv-Luv Alternative during the Steam Summer Sale 2024 will cost you US$31.98.
By paying US$26 or more, you’ll be receiving the main Muv-Luv games, the side stories of Muv-Luv photonflowers* and Muv-Luv photonmelodies♮, Episodes 0 to 3 of remastered spin-off Muv-Luv Unlimited The Day After, and The Imperial Capital Burns – Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse (a prequel to the Total Eclipse spin-off, which isn’t part of the bundle but is available on Steam).
The minimum you need to pay for the bundle is US$12, which gives you Muv-Luv, photonflowers*, and Episode 0 of The Day After (which is more of a short prologue than a full-blown installment).
The proceeds from The Many Worlds of Muv-Luv bundle will go to the humanitarian aid organization Direct Relief. At the time of writing, there’s less than 21 days to go until the end of the bundle’s sale.
Muv-Luv was originally released in Japan on CD in 2003, with Muv-Luv Alternative following in 2006. While the first half of Muv-Luv is a romantic comedy, its second half, along with many other installments in the multimedia franchise, feature timelines where mankind is under siege by a relentless alien race called the BETA and uses mechs called Tactical Surface Fighter to fight back.
A few days ago, it was announced that Muv-Luv Remastered and Muv-Luv Alternative Remastered will get English releases on Nintendo Switch on July 11. The Japanese versions were released in April.
The franchise has inspired a few TV anime adaptations, including Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse, the 80s-set Schwarzesmarken, and Muv-Luv Alternative.
