Is The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Turn-based strategy players who want battles centered on supply routes and a small force rather than holding every outpost
- Players who enjoy choosing between recruiting captured enemy leaders and executing them for greater combat strength
- Players seeking a character-led campaign with relationships between women and pair-based ally progression
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for battles that let them defend every position at once; the campaign emphasizes concentrating a limited army on key targets
- Players who prefer a single fixed story outcome; capturing and executing generals lead to different consequences
- Players seeking a puzzle, prison-escape or historical empire-management game rather than a character-led military campaign
Our take on The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily
The campaign’s branching choice is concrete: capturing all enemy generals is required for the true happy ending, while executions strengthen Scarlet and Lily but leave the truth lost. The description presents both routes, but they do not preserve the same story outcome.
What is The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily?
This turn-based strategy game follows Scarlet, a duchess framed for the Emperor’s murder, and Lily, the captain of an airship, as they fight the Empire.
Victory comes from capturing or executing enemy generals; the battle is lost if Scarlet or Lily falls. Players use limited forces to secure supply-line outposts, cut enemy connections and choose when to ambush, besiege or attack. Lily’s Stream Airship can stall advances, disrupt supply lines, encourage surrender and enable general captures. Captured generals join the army with unique abilities and new stream options.
Executions instead increase Scarlet and Lily’s combat strength, but prevent the true happy ending. Allies also gain strength through battle and pair-based trust, which can unlock story episodes and joint skills. The story includes romantic relationships between women and no erotic content.
How The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily plays
- 01Supply Line Support

- 03Airship Commands

- 04Ally Bond Skills
- Fighting with certain pairs can raise their trust, unlocking episodes and paired combat skills at set thresholds.
