Just Deserts

In this game you play a freely nameable male person in a harem setting. The overall mood in the dialogs is rather tongue-in-cheek style and over the top at times. Gameplay-wise it is a cross-over of a visual novel with resource management elements and a very streamlined (almost trivial) dungeon crawler-like mechanic for combat. The game is definitely not bad, but neither would I call it outstanding in any way: ++ - Have not experienced any bugs or glitches (aside from minor differences in the spoken word vs. the subtitle in English - really minor) + - Art style is pleasing - Voice acting is good - Music is good/matches the context well - if non too varied - Sounds are good enough +/- - It's obviously a budget title, but you get what you pay for so that's perfectly fine - Story/Setting is ... special - UI is super-simple CAUTION minor spoilers ahead -- - Combat is trivial, grindy and repetitive + could be optimized UX-wise (less clicks, option to skip animations). Lack of enemy variation and tactical options doesn't help - Dialog is awkward, as in who would say that in this situation. Example, you go on a date with one of the heroines, she tells her of motivation to seek her profession and your answer is along the lines "Yeah whatever" and "How stupid" - There are two types of tasks given by the heroines to fulfill in order to increase their liking of you. Either do activity A X-times with me in the next Y days or fetch me (buy and hand me) item A X-times within Y days. X and Y are determined by RNGsus, so you end up with "fetch me 6 packages of instant noodles in the next 1 day. This is the money equivalent of a whole combat encounter and you have to hand them over 1 by 1 each requiring several clicks. Activities are a wildcard, because the heroine needs to be in a certain place for it to work, if she doesn't go there often enough - bad luck All in all okay, especially for the price, but nothing to write home about.
