Playing v0.1.1
I have to say that this a very enjoyable parody game. The personalities of the characters from the show really shine well, and heck, even the reason you're inhabiting Kazuma's body is plausible, given his attitude from the show lol. The turn-based combat has some gorgeous looking sprites, although I think Kazuma's hair is far too spiky in his sprite, so I would recommend changing that. Right now you can only do two battles over and over, but the potential to have some good meaty combat and party banter is there, and I hope the creator capitalizes on that. But the writing legit had me laughing, and considering the source material that's all I can ask for. I did notice a weird bug where when Kazuma acquired steal, all the characters learned steal, which made no sense, so I'd reccommend fixing that since it could affect the gameplay going forward.
The H-scenes are a little lacking so far, but considering how early we are in the games lifecycle, that's not a terrible thing. I hope the future scenes are animated, as the ones we have right now are just a series of images rather than a true animation. I think it would be smart to have those for introductory or less-important h-scenes, and spend time on the real good stuff to make those animations fluid and hot! Don't know how hard that is in Koikatsu, but that's my take on it.
The music is also surprisingly good too, especially since a lot of Ren'Py games seem to all use the same 10 tracks, so I hope that trend stays true for this game as it's very refreshing. The art as well is pretty good too, helping to make this game distinct from the hundreds of other Koikatsu games popping up nowadays.
Having "We'll bang, ok?" in your game is a sign of true culture, so I cannot give this version of the game anything less than a 5. Highly recommend, even if content-wise it's obviously gonna be a little short.
