It's a classic hidden-object game. Nice story, plenty a different hidden-object and puzzles. Nothing fancy, but really enjoyable. The only negative would be the "battle system", which is base on match-3 and click-for-destroy. While it's nothing new, the interface is kind of weird and clunky a bit. That said, it delivers what it advertise hence the 5 stars.
First, while keyboard is supported, it's way better to use a gamepad. Now, it's really a cult classic. The story is compelling, rich and you root for the characters. Lots of "wrong ends", lots of details and dialogs but nothing boring. That said, you might want to get a walkthrough as your choices really matters in this game and you might end up having to restart from the beggining of the chapter. A solid 10/5 for sure, definitively reccomended.
It's setup as a corruption game, with H-Status and corruption stats. Typically in those games there are several dead ends, where you have to reload a previous save and make a different choice or win the battle, a bad/corrupted end, a good/corrupted end and a true ending, good/not corrupted. In this game, you have one dead end, and one good/corrupted end. The corruption stats seems useless, the game assumed that you are being corrupted over time. The game also force you toward several "bad" choice just to continue the scenario, often saying that you need to do it because you're low on cash even if you're filthy rich. The mechanics, battle, leveling and all, are good since the game engine is a good one, so the it's playable and even enjoyable, but story wise is a total miss. Even the "good" ending feels off. There is a end-game final chapter that gives a more detailed ending to the mains characters, but even then good is kind of an overstatement. The H-scene are nice though, even is they're forced to you. In any case, you get full access to them right at the beginning without having to finish the game to unlock them. Feels unfinished and there are way better corruption game out there, but like I said, it's playable just not worth the money in my book.
It's an hentai visual novel, with some (very) easy "management" and "RPG" things to do to give some rhythm. The story is fun, funny and well written. That said, the end is kind of thin and could have been more detailed hence the 4 stars. After the first credit, a side story can be played. So, a fun and recommended title to read (play).
It's a dungeon crawler over 8 levels, each on a different setting. While the story is simple, it's a good one. Most of the NPC do have some backstory albeit kind of short. The mechanics are standard, except maybe for the leveling based on the currency. Good side is that you can decide how and who is leveling, bad side the beginning is harder since you need to farm it. There are no real downer, but several unnerving things though. First and foremost, you can only save at one place, hence a lot of back and forth. While there's a lot of informative help, there's nothing telling you where to level your characters (yours is with Alma and your allies in the soul room when their statue are active). Also, in a lesser way, some levels are kind of maze like and with no map you might get lost. H side is very present and nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. There is some end-game content but the access is kind of weird, so you should find yourself a walkthrough. In and all it's a nice game to play but nothing to be remembered either.
First of all, it's a visual novel with a strong RPG side. That means that it's linear and, if you're more a RPG person, it can be a bit frustrating sometimes to have event/combat rigged to follow the story. That said, it's a wonderful story, long, rich, full of twist and surprises with deep background for each of the main characters. That makes it very very compelling. Unfortunatly, the true ending, very feel-good actually, seems a bit thin in comparaison, with only a handful of sentences. It lacks closure. Also, it's more a R-18 than a regular H game. There are several scenes well integrated in the story, but the majority of them are totally optional. Be warned that if you play at normal difficulty you won't be able to unlock them at the end. It's kind of a downer since the only other difficulty setting is very easy and less enjoyable. I don't understand that choice from the dev team. There's a NewGame+ feature, you keep everything although not all may be used right away. There is an optional new dungeon from the very beginning, but it's a bit too hard even with maxed out character for my taste and from what I've gathered, gives nice loot, but not much more...loot that you don't need anymore really since you've already played the game. That said, it's still a solid five stars (and more) and highly recommended.
It's a long game, very well done with multiple difficulty levels from default Easy to the masochistic Crisis. Multiple weapons and gears that you can craft to suit your type of gameplay, and several mechanics to keep the game kind of complex. While the story itself is classic, it's well implemented and gives a good immersion. Several endings possible, with the Pure/Vigin one being the True ending. The endgame content is also quite extensive compared to other game and well inline with the story wich is very enjoyable. The bosses in the endgame part are quite strong just so you know. There is also new craftings of higher level in this phase. Lastly, a NewGame+ feature where you keep everything (except for some key elements) complete that game. The H portion is nicely done (no anim) and can be unlock at the end. I really enjoyed playing it and I strongly reccommend it.
Note 1 : Controller only ! Keyboard support is a joke. The 2 controller supported are XBox (default) and DualShock 4 (DS 3 won't work). Note 2 : It's censored even with the DLC. Not a GOG problem though, not all games have a non-japan market release and that's one of them. Beside those notes, it's a very decent fighting/beat'm up sidescroller. Nice level/skill mechanics, lots of combo with the possibility to use shortcut button on the controller for the most used. Also have a ton of graphic option. That said, not my type of game (bought it under the JRPG flag LOL) and the story is thin as far as I can see. If you like sidescroller fighting game you won't be disappointed, if you're looking for a JRPG though, move along.
The game is fun, full of humour and well done. It's a fairly long game with a good story and several side-quests. At the end, after the last cutscene, you have a save. That save is a NewGame+ where you keep most of you item/weapon/money and rank. Be careful thought as there is a end game dungeon with a stronger boss that will require a lot of completed side-quests and thus more saving... so do not overwrite the NewGame+ if you're interested. H-scenes are nice. Although, and hence the 4 stars, you can't unlock them at the end (or I didn't find how despite searching a LOT). Don't have the mental fortitude, or the H addiction, high enough to redo a game several time just to unlock standard H-scene LOL. Still recommended as it is really fun to play.
It's a classic JRPG with a side of corruption and a pinch of pee fetish. The latter can be fully avoided. The story starts as a usual Good vs Evil, but does have some complexity and twist towards the end. While playing with a party of 4, you will gain access to around 8 characters with different abilities. The game has also the concept of order and formation. In other words, you can customize your party to suits your need. You can also change the battle difficulty in the option whenever you wish. The "leveling" system is quite original though, and can take a while to get used. There are no real level, stats are modified along the way using scrolls looted after battles. There are 2 groups, the HP and MP are applied to a specific character while the others are applied to the whole party. Hence, the former needs more thought before applying them. Good thing is that the characters not in the party will still grow based on the main character stats modification. It's an open world, and once you've reach a destination, most of the time you can teleport there after. Beside the main quest, there are several side quest and optional quest you can/should take. Here is my main complain and the reason of the 4 stars. Several time, it's difficult to follow the main quest, and/or some of the side quest for that matter. You end up turning around sometime trying to find something unexplored yet (no full map) or a NPC that might have something else to say, or even have a specific character in your party. While there are some hints, they might not always be helpful. Would have been nice to have someone/something that gives more information about the main quest. The H side is kind of nice, albeit standard. The scene are average at best though with no animation. Let's just say that those scenes are not the main attraction. It's possible to unlock them all, but it's kind of an hidden feature (would have never found it by myself must admit). As an hint, ring until it answers.
