A Record Of Delia-s War -v1.3- -shoku- -

The story is surprisingly engaging for an H-game. It avoids the "chosen one" trope. Delia is just a soldier—a capable one, but ultimately a cog in a broken machine. The narrative focuses on her mental fortitude. The war is long, the kingdom is falling, and hope is scarce.

The writing excels at depicting the psychological toll of the conflict. The NPCs you meet are desperate, cowardly, or broken. Delia’s internal monologue shifts from confident determination to weary resolve as the days pass. The v1.3 update includes expanded dialogue and endings, offering more closure to the various paths Delia can take. A Record of Delia-s War -v1.3- -shoku-

The "-shoku-" mod adds dynamic weather that changes battle maps every 10 turns. "Blood Shoku" (red fog) reduces ranged accuracy by 60%. "Iron Shoku" (grey rain) corrodes metal armor, reducing defense by 5 points per turn. You must now carry oilcloths and tarp items—inventory management that was absent before.

The base game, A Record of Delia’s War (original Japanese title: Delia Senki), was released in the early 2010s by the enigmatic doujin circle Project Iron Sigh. Built on a heavily modified RPG Maker 2003 engine, it told the story of Delia Vahn, a disgraced quartermaster forced to lead a deserter’s brigade behind enemy lines. Worldbuilding and lore:

The original v1.0 was praised for its unforgiving resource management and grim narrative. However, it was plagued by bugs, broken skills, and a punishing difficulty curve that relied on RNG (random number generation). Enter the -shoku- project.

The "-shoku-" suffix (here meaning "recolored" or "re-flavored") refers to a comprehensive fan overhaul led by the anonymous patcher "Shoku_no_Kishi." Released in late 2022, v1.3 represents the pinnacle of three years of iterative patching.

Original v1.0 had a "Delia or bust" problem. If your protagonist died, it was game over. -v1.3- introduces the "Succession Flag." If Delia falls, the command passes to your highest-ranked surviving officer (Mercer, Lin, or the secret character Klaus). The story adapts via dozens of new text branches—some only discovered in 2024.
