Muv-Luv Alternative

Muv-Luv Alternative

Muv-Luv Alternative takes place after the events of the original Muv-Luv. Alternative focuses on the life of Shirogane Takeru three years after Muv-Luv; Takeru wakes up believing that everything that had happened was just a dream. However, he notices something wrong: he has been sent back in time to the beginning of the events in Muv-Luv: Unlimited. But instead of letting a disaster strike again, he decides to help stop it before it even begins. The solution: helping to complete Alternative IV.

  1. Sir, you just increased this page’s value by a 100%
    By the way thanks, the leaked lacked the voiced parts.

  2. Hey admin, is this the you-know-what patch that Amaterasu took away few weeks ago? I heard that it was really buggy and stuff, not really full operative. Anyways, great job as usual.

    I hope that this game can get the localization like Amaterasu want, and I am sure as hell will buy it just for the sake of its existence.

  3. This story explains what was happening in previous series and why main character can cross different dimensions.
    I was satisfied to read it.

  4. Thanks again for uploading admin.
    On another note, it seems that for me filesonic is way faster than fileserve. I noticed that you changed pretty much all the hotfiles into fileserve, so just wanted to say it.
    Again thanks for uploading!

  5. wow xD this is site is doing so good i tought this game was abanndoned , also sharin no kuni fandisc . all hail this site _(._.)_

  6. Thanks and I’m hoping I’ll be able to install this one, even if I couldn’t play the other one. And yey, actual instructions! 😀

    1. Yes, it is. If you jump right into this one, you will be a little bit lost at the beginning. The first two are great to spare a few hours too.

  7. just wanna ask…
    is this patch full version??
    i mean. from the start to the end…
    i see in vndb just first chapter…

  8. Thanks for uploading this, admin! And to think that I was about to delete it because I thought that the translation project was abandoned! Got me me breaking out in cold sweat when I checked your site just now!

    Thanks man, you rock!

  9. thanks for uploading full patch. btw is it from leaked patch? i heard the last arc isn’t fully translated…
    and you’re my savior!

    1. The main story is translated all the way through. Only things that’re are untranslated are the chapter titles and a couple of short voice-only speeches. It’s still totally playable.

  10. Does this game contain plenty of hentai?

    Also about how long does it take some of you to download the complete game?

    Lastly. Admin do you have another way of helping you. I hate the surveys. Why not get Google Ad Sense. I woulnd’t mind clikcing on a site and its faster.

    1. Google AdSense TOS prohibits using it on sites containing links to unauthorized copyrighted downloads – right now this site operates completely legal and i want it to stay that way.

    2. This story has one route and hentai is about 5 percent of story, but unlike in other visual novels it has deep meaning (good quality too :D) and explains most part of why main character is in this twisted world where exists BETA.

    1. Yes, it’s going to be one. I even started working on it, but right now there are more important things to do – fixing some broken uploads (some fileserve links sometimes fail to load), adding filesonic and direct download mirrors to all posts, system to automaticaly post fresh links if old get taken down ( mangagamer recently keeps reporting koihime musou and guiltythesin links and updating them every 2-3 days is just annoying ). Once i’m done with this i’ll be back to work on forum.

  11. Thanks for the game! The files are all interchangeable correct? I can’t seem to get the direct download to work no matter how hard I try or how many times I download the file they want you to download (though I haven’t/won’t run the file), so I’m not sure what I am doing wrong :/ But thanks for the 2 sources, now just need to be patient 🙂

    1. You forgot to put second patch in game folder – first patch translates only first arc. Once you put second patch it’ll translate rest of the game.

    1. There is no need for request – I’m keeping track of various releases, and when they’re available I’ll post them. So far no one leaked Kotori EXP, but as soon as someone does I’ll post it here ( usual rule apply here – if no one leaks in in one week I’m buying it myself to post).

  12. Hi, Thanks Admin for this game ( and for this site also ).
    Sorry to bother you all but i have an issue concerning the installation of the game : when i launch the patch, i cannot select the file where i want the patch to be installed. The browse cursor is gray and i can’t click on it to select another file. I tried to install the game in Jap local and start the launcher but since the name of the game file is different, it still doesn’t work. Can you help me please?

  13. Sorry for the double post but i forgot to mention something : It seems that the patch doesn’t make any difference when the game is installed or not. I mean the way it acts doesn’t change : it acts as if the game is installed when it’s not.

  14. Hello admin, I’d like to know if you are interested in adding bunch of (older) games to this site – I have quite a bit of them, mostly full versions. I also have some suggestions on categorizing the stuff you have here a bit. If you are interested, please contact me.

    1. I have every game that was released in english – i plan to add them someday, but it’s definetely low prority for now – firstly, it i takes some time, and i prefer to make sure current and big games are working properly. Second – it clutters download page a bit – this site is catered to new users interested in VN genre, and getting old games to work is sometimes quite tricky. Also – nowadays we have access to much better games than 10 years ago, so it’s best when people can find good games, which will make them interested in this genre, like G-senjou, Utawarerumono, or Yume Miru Kusuri, than to bombard them in 10s of old JAST sex-romps.

  15. Thank you kindly for this, admin!

    By the way, I’ve only just finished the first arc and and around half-way into the second but this game is so much more depressing than its prequel(s).

    1. agreed, it’s so depressing and the fact that we can’t do anything to change the outcome make it more so

  16. Alternative is really a test of how much your heart can withstand. Visual novels often seek to put you in the protagonist’s shoes and this one certainly does a great job of it given the amount of time they had to “educate” you, the reader.

    Of course the ending is sad. But it’s also a testament to not giving into despair. I’ve already integrated most of the lessons Alternative had, but until you really accept in your heart what the various characters are saying, your emotions will not be moderated or balanced out.

    For example, one of the most effective ways to fight despair at the loss of a loved one is to overcome it with positive emotions and memories. Pride in what they had achieved. The happy memories you shared with them. Such will provide the will to live on.

    That’s the whole point of why fighter pilots and small unit infantry tell jokes when faced with death. Many people assume that they don’t take it seriously because they don’t care, but the opposite is true.

    Leaders must radiate supreme confidence and optimism, regardless of what they believe or feel inside. That is part of the duty and responsibility of being given authority, for authority has its perks because it has its costs as well. Human emotion is infectious. If you start feeling sad, soon enough everyone around you will as well. And when it comes to fighting in battles and wars, that kind of thing will kill people. When they lack the will to live, when they stop caring, they will also stop caring about the mission. They won’t pay enough attention in combat to survive. They will get themselves killed. That’s why leaders project an optimistic and positive aura. To defeat despair before one can defeat the enemy.

    Extra is the sweetness. Unlimited is an introduction to the world, a preparation test, and provides bitter regret. Alternative builds upon the last two in order to fulfill heroic glory.

    The “game”, you could say, is to test whether you can control your emotions, how much of Alternative’s various quotes and lessons you have integrated within your identity, and whether your heart will balance towards despair or pride.

  17. Admin mate, i bloody love you and the team which translated this game. i been waiting for a couple years for the greatest game in history to come out and you sir, have just made my month already

  18. I got error about episode 10 (when the hero’s team go to battle in space).

    The game’s shutting off itself. And I can’t go any further.

      1. Alright.

        Solve the problem by “Reinstall” it.

        Don’t know is it related to the folder name ?
        I changed the default name (Japanese name}to English one.

        1. Im having a problem in chapter 10 also, once they get into the big battle in the hive, it just stops, ive re-installed and tried everything, it just stops working =/. Anyone know how to fix it?

  19. aaaaaaaaaaaaaadmin!!!! i know im a total oob but why when i try to mount the muvluvalter.mds daemon says “UNABLE TO MOUNT IMAGE , UNABLE TO ACCESS IMAGE FILE” I REALLY WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME !

  20. Hey, just finished, but there are no extra menus unlocked (CGs, scenes…).

    How disappointing…, btw… regarding the story: are there any different paths/endings (is Takeru involved with different girls?)? – anybody knows?

    1. nope,where i get the information the ending is only one.The only change is which latter will u read after the boss monster defeat.

    1. Not to mention the fact that the game loves to flashback to that point over and over and *over* again. This story seems to be an exercise in breaking the reader’s sanity (along with Takeru’s).

  21. Anyone know how to bypass this spot in the game?

    http://i56.tinypic.com/aot0kj.jpg

    It just stops working at that screen.

    Ive re-installed, tried compatability settings and everything. Nothing i do lets me go beyond that. If possible could someone upload a save thats right after that screen please?

  22. I did as it was said to do when installing but it doesn’t matter if i change or not the ami file , i still get a error when trying to run the game.

  23. Was playing the game but for some reason the Translation stops after the first arc, can some1 tell me if thats just the game or is that my game gone weird? if its the game then this cannot be called fully translatedgame

    1. You installed only first patch ( which translates first arc). You need to replace data.ami with the one provided here for complete translation.

  24. admin, are you working on muv luv alternative chronicles 01? i want to play it too, but it looks like the translated version is out yet

  25. question here.. there’s something wrong with the font of the subtitle of tsukiyomi and akane suzumiya.. small and no spacing… anyone knows how to fix this?
