No, KS is not even remotely utsuge.

First of all, be sure to check the Nakige and Utsuge tags on VNDB:

If you want nakige then try any of Key's works, since that is the area they specialise in. Clannad seems to be the most popular around here.
If you want utsuge the most popular ones on this forum are Planetarian and Narcissu. If you want something more extreme then go with Kara no Shoujo

KS is a nakige, sure, but definitely not an utsuge.

(Almost) every time someone reminds us that we are grouped in the same neighborhood as KEY, a KS dev cries.

Why is that? I know Aura said that he feels Maeda's tactics are sorta underhanded; is that a common opinion from you guys?

But of course. Making people cry is what made Key famous.

The answer I'd like to give could cause trouble, so I'll just say that in addition to that, I personally find their use of supernatural elements to be an unpleasant cop-out.

That was actually perfect.

Also I'm really enjoying what Muv-Luv did with their sprites, really shows that a lot of work was put into it. Speaking of which, is it worth doing any routes other than Meiya's and Sumika's, or should I just rush to Unlimited and then go on to Alternative?

Depends on how much you enjoy it. If you want to stay in Extra for a bit longer then at least do Ayamine's and Tama's routes. If you just want to move onto Unlimited then just do Meiya's and Sumika's. You won't miss anything other than a few character cameos who will be of some importance in Alternative, so all the non-main routes are perfectly skipable.

Also it's only worth doing one route in Unlimited, since all of them are practically the same, with the exception of Yuuko's.

Your signature is telling the truth

And now I'm done with Muv-Luv. It was pretty good by itself, but it definitely feels like playing only the main routes of a VN and not doing the true route, but I suppose that's where Alternative steps in, which, unsurprisingly, I'm going to do next. I might go back a bit later and do Yuuko's Unlimited route, but who knows.

VNs don't have true routes...

Most Key VNs, Ever17 and Steins;Gate, just to name a few, would like a word with you.

Basically you play Muv-Luv for Alternative. Unlimited is like a prologue to Alt (a Chapter 0 if you will) and Extra is basically just for backstory (a Chapter -1 if you will?)

Plenty of VNs have true routes. There is even a tag for it on VNDB: http://vndb.org/g181?fil=tagspoil-1.tag ... d;s=rating

Of course judging by the fact Deardrops and ef have it tagged, people clearly don't know how to use it.

Well, Steins;Gate will get that word. I downloaded it earlier.
