I am honestly and sincerely giving this 5 stars. Is it because everything is so perfect that it has no flaws? No, it has plenty.
The reason that I am giving it 5 stars is because honestly it surprised me. When i first saw this game i rolled my eyes and passed over it thinking "Oh God, here we go with the AoT parody". Recently i was reading the forums and a review about the game that was pretty interesting so i thought "why not, how bad could it be?" and booted up the game. Here is what i discovered:
The imperfections in the artwork, the flaws in the drawing, they dont make the game worse. in fact i would argue that it gives the game its own unique flair and works well with the "cartoony" aspect. I respect people's right to think that the artwork is "bad" but I also think that there are many people who are too critical on it just because AoT is like "thier thing" in which case, they would be near impossible to please anyway. Perhaps the reason that the "imperfect" artwork bothers me not is because i dont have any particular affection for the AoT world in general.
The story is just right for a sandbox. Normally i do not enjoy sandboxes, as they are tedius to figure out where to be and when to trigger any event. The dev has done a nice job in organizing the girls and events into a guide book that makes that simpler and more straight forward. The relationships with the girls happen fairly naturally, given the AoT world they are in, although sleeping with a girl in the girls dorms in the same room with other girls you occasionally sleep with and nobody saying anything raises an eyebrow.
All in all i was very pleasently surprised. The game gives you a way to improve yourself through training, make the girls happy, and offers a "love route" for all: even Mikasa. I hope that the dev keeps going in this path, and i wish him luck in his endevors. I might even jump over there and sub.
UPDATED V015.0:
Annie's path is just old already. The MC is so easily manipulated by .. well .. anyone with tits. After replaying through the whole game from the beginning I have concluded the that MC has the hormones of a 13 year old boy on crack. He will literally do anything, and take any kind of humiliation, use any excuse, just to see, feel, or grope.
No matter how much "training" you do, or classes you attend, you are always smashing into trees because you cant take your eyes off a girls ass. Yes, its that cringe in spots. Arc 2 just kind of "resets" several of the girl arcs, making you redo or restart your progress with them, and introduces a new stat system that you need to grind out. Its not bad, it can just be a bit frustrating as you think "Pretty sure we were already past this point with this girl".
Anyway, everything in my original review still holds true, the new changes just shifted it ... sideways.. for lack of a better word.
Oh and one more thing, if the dev reads this: stop sticking "Ha-Ha" at the end of 90% of your dialogue. Theres a few situations where you can use it fine, but most of the time it makes light of situations that shouldnt be ... that funny.
