Code Geass Lelouch Of The Rebellion Lost Colors

Okay, let's talk Code Geass. We all love Lelouch, right? Genius, strategist, zero-pizza enthusiast. But let's be real, there's this weird little side thing called Lost Colors.

The Other Geass Game

It's a game. Specifically, a visual novel where you get Geass. Wild, right? Your character, Rai, has memory issues, which is super convenient for plot reasons. The story basically retreads the anime, but with your choices changing stuff.

And look, I know this is blasphemy, but… I kind of enjoyed it. There, I said it. Sue me.

Rai: Friend or Foe?

Rai is… well, he's no Lelouch. Let's just say that. Lelouch's dramatic monologues are replaced with… well, player choices. Which, to be fair, can be pretty funny.

You can choose to be a total jerk. A complete softie. A strategically neutral person. The power of choice! It's kind of awesome to have this control over how the story unfolds, even if Rai is, shall we say, a blank slate.

And the romance options? Oh boy. Prepare for some seriously awkward dating sim moments.

Altering the Timeline (Slightly)

The fun part about Lost Colors is messing with the established timeline. You can befriend characters you normally wouldn't. Save people who died. Make even worse decisions (somehow).

It’s basically fanfiction, but interactive. And officially licensed. Think of it like a very long, slightly repetitive "what if?" scenario.

Don't expect major, universe-altering shifts. It’s not like Rai suddenly becomes Emperor. But the small changes can be surprisingly satisfying.

The Unpopular Opinion

Here's the hot take. I think Lost Colors, while definitely not a masterpiece, is a decent way to spend a few hours. It scratches that Code Geass itch without demanding too much from you.

Yeah, Rai isn't Lelouch. The story isn't as tight. But it's a fun little diversion. You get to see your favorite characters in a new light, and you get to make some seriously questionable decisions.

Plus, who doesn't want to have Geass, even if it's just virtually? Come on, admit it.

Is it essential Code Geass viewing/playing? Absolutely not. But if you're a die-hard fan looking for something a little different, give it a shot. You might be surprised.

Maybe you'll even agree with my crazy opinion. Or maybe you'll think I'm completely insane. Either way, it’s Code Geass. Let's talk about it.
