The “Muv-Luv” series has finally passed an important milestone – the series’ total global sales have exceeded 1 million copies. Statistics include both physical and digital versions of the game.
A literate person might think there’s something wrong with the numbers – this is one of the most popular mecha novels – but no, there’s nothing wrong. As it turns out, the already niche series received multiple anime and even a 3D action game.
The first Muv-Luv came out in 2003 and started out as a fairly traditional visual novel that told a romantic story. However, the sequels gradually turned it into a massive sci-fi drama with alternative histories, alien invasions, and a battle for humanity’s survival.
