Duel Savior

There is a prophecy that every 1000 years, when the destruction draws near, the Messiah will come from a different world to the root world of Avatar and save them all.

Mia Touma, while returning home from school, finds an old but highly decorated book. When she shows it to her brother, Taiga, the book teleports them to another world - Avatar.

When they awaken, they find themselves in a world reminiscent of Medieval Europe. Before they understand what’s happening, an energetic woman comes before them and tells them they have become Savior Candidates.

They must use the training they learn at the school to defeat the Lords of Ruin and Ruin itself to save Avatar and every other world along with their friends. However, Taiga finds he has become the Red Apostle, which complicates matters greatly. What is going on with the fight with Ruin? Will he actually be able to become the Messiah and save Avatar?

It crashes on start up for me, but the only thing in english on the error window is "directdraw"

CELBad20 Jan 2013Reply

You know, I never found the exact solution to problems related to "directdraw". Updating drivers and etc are sometimes said to be the solution but almost all the time the game is old enough so our computers aren't affected or our drivers and etc are sufficiently updated. If you still have the original game download package and the translation patch package maybe you can just redo it all. If it doesn't work then either one of the downloads didn't go properly or something else is wrong with your computer.

As for Jack's problem right above what did you do? Have the torrent download it all to the exact same folder? It's hard to have that happen unless one deliberately does that and I can't imagine you doing that. But even so, the ISO files aren't that many in number so if that is the case if your still got the unzipped originals just erase the mess and start over.

in the english patch i downloaded it using the torrent.
when i tried to play it the window says something about a 'disc 2 and the rest is in japanese, i need help how to move forward from this.

CELBad22 Jan 2013Reply

Then something went wrong. I never had that problem and I downloaded both bunch with torrent. Sorry to ask but did you erase it all and retry it once more? All the files from the patch should have overwritten properly. If Disc 2 came up then something was left out.

On a side note I don't know why some people thought Nanashi's story was a bit less filling it was good enough.

SJJohn23 Jan 2013Reply

Actually according to Aroduc from the Kureha One Forums...

"The "Insert Disk 2" error means that the exe cannot find all the required files, which means that you have almost certainly screwed up installation in some way. The uberpatch is not the complete game. You must install the game, and then move those files into the game directory."

Also, according to Seiha Translations for the Crea route in Destiny....

"Crea events for her route (Destiny Only):

Chapter 4, 2nd Free Action (Night) - Gate
Chapter 5, 1st Free Action - Gate (Choose not to bug Berio)
Chapter 5, 2nd Free Action - Gate
Chapter 6, 1st Free Action - Gate
Chapter 7, 2nd Free Action - Gate

ALL MUST BE DONE TO ENTER HER ROUTE.

No other requirements apparently, besides clearing MiaA."

Not sure about the chapter 2 one yet since I keep seeing Lily.

SJJohn23 Jan 2013Reply

I mean I am not sure about Chapter 7 2nd Free Action one.... Damnit.

CELBad23 Jan 2013Reply

Just finished the Crea route and for a replacement for a harem route it was pretty good. But be warned...

1) There is no sprite for a 'alternative' Crea so she'll be invisible in such few cases.

2) For some reason there is a sound glitch that sounds like a heartbeat or flapping wings that refused to go away after defeating god and it carries to even the NG+. For me anyway. Maybe it was a one time thing but make sure to have a extra save file as back up.

3) Relatively speaking Crea's epilogue is pretty short compared to other epilogues including the harem one. Pity, since I wanted to see more of her.

can we get bloody rondo? ive been waiting forever for even the slightest hint at an english patch!

Karvil Atern31 Jan 2013Reply

Thanks for the upload.
This game is great, but I seriously hate the set order of routs (half because I got 3 bad endings before noticing it) and the destiny is just... it just really doesen´t look they gave it too much work to mend it. In the first place why didn´t they change it a little so that the things shown would match the later developement? They have bath together and then others blatantly speak about sex... doesen´t seem correct

SJJohn28 Feb 2013Reply

I believe there is a 100% save file that you can use. I did not wish do deal with that sister who goes big time yandere in her route.

roan05 Feb 2013Reply

i know what im asking in this particular game is off but can you provide a walkthrough for majikoi S in english? it seems google translate is a bit off the translation and im getting confused weather im choosing the right one or not. im try to get to margits route & i just started playing it. im at the beginning of the no relationship so kinda confused about the choices since it's reallyx99 off from the english choices. any please and thank you

I have my regional settings set to Japan, and it still crashes when I first get to the coliseum. Also the font is messed up, text is all jumbled together. Any advice on how to fix?

Ecchi-Sama07 Mar 2013Reply

Whenever I start the game it crashes immediately, I never even had the chance to watch any opening...

I'm using Windows 7
My unicod is set to Japanese
I tried to run the game with XP-SP2 and SP3 compatibility but it still crashes

I tried to re-install but it didn't change anything...

I tried to download and install the game from another source, but still, no changes...

do anyone have a clue for me ?

Ecchi-Sama07 Mar 2013Reply

I just tried to re-install and play without the english patch and it worked well...

so this is the patch that causes the game to crash...

but I still don't know what to do to solve the problem...

Ecchi-Sama08 Mar 2013Reply

well... I re-downloaded the patch and re-installed it and... it worked...

I don't understand but I don't care, Great game !

lightdx31 Mar 2013Reply

Man. A english patch almost as heavy as the game itselft. Just when i thought i was finishing the download part.

kaiser02 Apr 2013Reply

How do i make the game in window mode?

cromagnon20 Apr 2013Reply

At the options screen, but you need to be using 16bit colors for that.

lightdx03 Apr 2013Reply

i have begining to play and i have to complain about the fact this game can0t be put at window mode nor it tell me the keyborg i need to fight in the first battle. It was not funnny to try to discover it in meedle of the battle. I'm not sure if i have gotten every key for that yet. But the game seems good leaving that.

z,x,c are the one to straike, cut and deffend while the number of the right are the one used to movement. I read something about FDUB as them too but that is to complex.

lightdx03 Apr 2013Reply

At the end. What i have to complain the most is because i can't take the rute i like until i have passed all others. I have to go throught each girl's rute in order or you'll get a bad ending. I don't mind if there were only a few, but everyone is really a pai. -_- but i like the story so i have to endure.

Rimen04 Apr 2013Reply

Is there any Walkthrough for this game ?

cromagnon20 Apr 2013Reply

There's one at gamefaqs, but I doubt you need once since going through the heroines route is quite easy. Though I say that, you still need to follow the route order.

Berio/Kaede->Ricolis/Nanashi->Lily(needs the 4 previous heroines cleared)->Mia->Harem(justice)/Crea(destiny)

gxshield08 Apr 2013Reply

why my duel savior crash in chapter1 after she say taiga can get everything in the world?

Larxene11 Apr 2013Reply

So I have to download "Game Download", "English Patch" and the "Crash Fix"? 5GB+ altogether?fo

cromagnon20 Apr 2013Reply

Yep, thats the order. If you're wondering why the patch needs that much space from your conventional patch, it's because of the voices are from the ps2 version.

Curious16 Apr 2013Reply

So wait, is this the version with the sex scenes or the one without?

cromagnon20 Apr 2013Reply

you get to choose between the two when starting the game, justice for the ero scenes and destiny for the opposite.

tsumagariyuki20 Apr 2013Reply

how do I pick justice or darkness I think its called. I want to play darkness but think I clicked justice HELP PLZ ^^

cromagnon20 Apr 2013Reply

it's destiny btw. anyway, you can finish that game first and save the game file to start a NG+, or if you really wanna play destiny you can start a NG. You can't change game mode once you've made the choice.

tsumagariyuki20 Apr 2013Reply

ok thanks

Xamz01 May 2013Reply

If you are having issues with the game crashing immediately after startup i.e. Duel Savior English.exe has stopped working etc etc. Here are the steps to get it working

1. Uninstall the game
2. Delete any remaining English patch data in the folder left over
3. Reinstall the game
4. Copy the English patch to the Duel Savior folder just like you did before, HOWEVER.

DO NOT COPY VOICE1.PAC from the english patch. That is what is causing the crashes.

Remember install the english patch as before by copying the files, but do not copy voice1.pac

The game will now start up fine

Delithius22 Jun 2013Reply

well Xamz maybe you can help me out with my problem no one else seems to know exactly. you see when I first install the game without the patch and click on the duel savior application nothing happens same when I right click and select open or run as administrator. then when I add all the English patch files excluding Voice1.pac and select the application included with the patch the game window opens but soon after a error window appears showing something in Japanese and the English wording Direct Draw. if you know how to solve my problem please tell me I am at a loss and really want to play this game. also I have reinstalled this game several times.

Irish04 May 2013Reply

Have to say, this is one of my favorite Eroge's in a while. Like both the art and the gameplay. Only thing I didn't like is that my two favorite girls were the first two (Kaede and Berio). All the others were fairly disappointing, especially the redheaded mage which I had high hopes for.

Holy-Boring11 May 2013Reply

I'm getting an error with the alphacheck.exe file. What is that anyway?

Desimus24 May 2013Reply

Well.. i expected the harem ending to be a little bit happier .. still a good game though.

Vlad12 Jul 2013Reply

hope cross saviour is just as good cause I loved the ending of this game I recomend it to all to play who are rpg fans of the old schools tales of destiny serries great story.

hello21 Jul 2013Reply

Is there any adv.-visual novel game like this in this site?
It's pretty fun~

qwerty15 Dec 2013Reply

Not sure if these are what you are looking for, but here are some that you might enjoy:
Sengoku Rance- Lots of rape but fun gameplay, so based on preference.
Tears to tiara- Overall nice game with turn and grid based combat, very fun imo.
Yumina the ethereal- Turn based combat more like rance yet still different, very RPG like with many skills. Has a great storyline, worth it to play all routes. Just might need to take a break after each one for a while. One of my favorite games and favorite on this list.
Utawarerumono- Very close to tears to tiara, made by the same people after all, couldn't play much since it crashes a lot if run on windows 7, though very fun when I ran it for a bit on another computer.
Probably leaving a few out, but these are the ones I could think of, hope you enjoy them.

I have recently purchased a new laptop, As i figured once I got it I hate the "new" windows 8 Operating system that they decided to use now. navigation from menu to menu is a pain in my ass and I am not certain what still functions on this OS that did on windows 7. So, my question is are there some sort of special proccesses I have to go through to get this game to work? cause I have followed both the faq and read up on all the comments made above for guidance. I have reinstalled duel survivor gotten a new copy of daemon tools, thought perhaps I may need a different variation of daemon tools so tried a light version next but nothing. I'll mount the disc image it will use the auto run contained within the disk image bring up a menu i press the one that reacts the most like it is attempting to download something, but then Nothing. I can run duel savior, everytime i try my laptop simply says "would you like to run this program?" I click yes. A little hour glass appears for all of 4 seconds, the disappears as if i had not clicked on anything at all. I am sorry if i am overloading your chat with this particular comment but 10 hours of sitting around downloading a multitude of different files in hopes of getting a game that shoulld have been easy to install is just infuriating.

Windows 8 got a undercut version of DirectX, we now have no way to play this game on Windows 8. Only option is to downgrade to Windows 7 or Vista in order to play.

-M-21 Oct 2013Reply

Yeah, this game can't be played on Windows 8 yet :( There's this DirectX issue. I've read other VN forums and they confirmed this, even compatibility mode doesn't work. Too bad I can't play this for now. Just hope someday...
