I went into the game with lower expectations as it was the heroine which I had the least amount of "I like this one" with. The story was very enjoyable, the comedy was good, and the writing was excellent. Spicy scenes consentual. It went from oh this feels like it is taking parts from the first 2 in the early stages of the game to, wow, they flipped the script, the battle with the Majin Sabnock was just the start. It felt like a sequel instead of a route diverging from an initial parting in the road, just the events in DSG1-2 had happened, but the MC wasn't part of them. If you didn't play 1 or 2, the explanation of how the magic stuff works is explained, so you don't need to play them, but for the other characters backstory would probably be better to do so.
If you are going to play this game, play DSG (Destiny Star Girlfriend) 1 first to get the world setting, as most of the explanations are only about new parts of the dynamic. The route is completely independant of DSG 1's, so it isn't a sequel, it is a retelling that has completely different events, this includes the ending. The things that are the same would be like the first 3 scenes or so, and the side characters personalities/backgrounds. If you played DSG 1 you will know how naive Maya is, this carries through with this one. Creates some fun situations that you will enjoy reading through. The battle scenes are not as dynamic as DSG1, however the main character is a more active role in the fights, so there is that. Her straightforward, and bashful demeanor combined with her warrior talk are a plus. All spicy scenes are consentual. Plenty of emotinal build up and feeling of love and trust between main character and heroine during those scenes. Price point is good for the length. Writing and Translation is excellent. Voice acting is excellent. Each of the spacer scenes where the voice actor says the name of the game has a different way of saying it each time, gets pretty funny sometimes. Pesonally I liked Yuuri's route better because of her personality, but Maya comes as a close second. These are very enjoyable romance stories, buy it, enjoy it, I did.
The Good - The game play is reasonable for the Match 3 - The stat mechanics work well. - Difficulty is well balanced. - The character art is nice. The not so good - Some text was not translated and had a placeholder in some of the battle descriptions. Also a couple of typo's/mistakes. These may be fixed at a later date? - The story was a little unintelligible at the end. I was left with the feeling that I hadn't finished it, but there was no more. - With exception to the main lady, the spicy scenes felt like there was not enough preamble in the story for the feelings to be manifested in the scene. Your tastes will come into play more than my opinion of such things. Play it youself and come to your own conclusion for that. - Maybe it was because it was 3D, and I'm used to 2D, but the spicy scenes seemed clunky.
I enjoyed it. The heroine was a bit of a narcisist; the main character balances keeping her in check and feeding her ego. The back and forth is quite fun. When Yuuri does her cute "Nifanifa", you know she's about to try something tricksy. The super hero and romance balance is well done. Nicely written. All scenes are consentual (does get a little iffy at one point). Voice acting and translation is excellent. Some notes for those purchasing, + There is only one route. This one is for Yuuri. [[ Hopefully mirai/Shiravune will bring in 2 and 3 so we can play the other routes ]] +Not on GoG as of writing. wishlist if possible on forums. + The choices don't matter, they only give a different flavor dialogue for about 2 to 4 slides or so. + There is screenshaking and text box shaking, but it is mainly constrained to the battle scenes.
I was going in with expectations of "Shimone toiu gainen ga sonzai shinai taikutsu na sekai" vibes. But it was a little more down to earth than that. So Arika didn't go around garbed in only a white sheet with a pair of undergarments on her face holding a flag saying SOX. And Tsukasa didn't make special "love" cookies. Anyway, about the game itself. The spicy scenes are all concentual. So, enjoyable for me in that aspect, maybe not for some. For me, the teacher route (Miyuki) was the most enjoyable, her little secret you find out during the game is both disturbing and funny. Her switch between her outer nature and inner nature make for some enjoyable times. Tsukasa was cute, but her story left me feeling like there should have been more. Arika was playful, and her way of putting it to the society was less dramatic than expected, but I guess more realistic. For its length, the price point is a little high for me, maybe get it on sale.
Back in the day, I used to play GS2000 on a 386 with pc sound with the diskette version. This version has only crashed once with the check the mission screen in the briefing area. I had to re-map the keys to a game pad as dosbox doesn't play nice with my current regions keyboards (ctrl + f1 for those that need to do it). So, has been a new experience in that respect. Currently at 2nd Lieutenant and having a blast sneaking up from the low with the cannon. Going up to 1100 to do the locate and destroy ones with the ol hellfires while blasting the radar jammers and flares on the incoming stuff. Well, I hope they find the version that the other posters are talking about, but this version works fine for me. My disks are gone, but now I have this legal version, so I am happy to enjoy the game I played back when I was a kid. Less buggy than back then and I don't have to fight with the conventional memory limits of the time.
I guess I like games where most of those acts are consented. For those who like fantasy non-consentual things like that, I guess this is a game for you? I don't think any of the initial encounters were not precluded by use of a drug that robs the victim of their reasoning, including the MC. The MC is a nasty piece of work, he has many traits of the criminal element that does non-consentual acts (enjoys the power element etc). He starts off about to be homeless and contemplates forcing himself onto one of the local female population when he gets lured by Shima. Thankfully, he needs to go through many bad ends ( his demise ) in order to get to the final ending. Not a game I would play again; I guess I will stick with the romance genre as a I like love and consent. The redeeming qualities: 1. The story is interesting to some degree if you can fast forward it a bit. 2. I didn't encounter any bugs or major typos.
