Hands down, THE best H-game of all time (of course, in my opinion). Despite metroidvania and specifically Sci-fi alien metroidvania being a common genre of H-game, Crisis Point: Extinction is so good at many things that I am not bored of this fact at all. It doesn't matter if the genre is oversaturated if the game itself is so good, am I right? I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's dive straight into why I think Crisis Point: Extinction is the best H-game.
First, the artstyle: I don't usually comment on this, but this game has a very noticeable and unique artstyle. The characters, backgrounds, environments, etc. is so lively and full of personality.
Second, the soundtrack: God tier soundtrack, this is also something I don't usually comment on, but rarely have I ever heard a good soundtrack from an H-GAME. For me, an H-game might not need to focus a lot on the soundtrack, since you know, hentai games need to use some of their efforts for hentai stuff. So it is not required that an H-game have an excellent soundtrack. But damn how I have fallen in love with these songs. And how they are implemented is amazing. Making one base song for an area and have an alternative version for a sub-area (for example, underwater version, indoor version, etc.) and then switch them around whenever you enter those areas is brilliant! Even if it's not the most creative, heck, it's not like this is the only game that does this, it's amazing still to see an H-game uses this.
Third, the combat: The weapons and mechanics in this game are very expressive and free. Weapon chips that allows you to do multiple different build and strategies as well as the change from fire shot to fire melee and the stomp of the iron boots, all combining to make an excellent combat. You can be simple and shot the enemies or get close and get crazy on them. I have also played the old version of Crisis Point: Extinction before, where you still have to aim using movement keys instead of mouse, and I gotta say I appreciate this change a lot, that was one of my original problem with this game until the new update came which completely erases said issue and make the game flows even better than before.
Fourth, the exploration: Super well executed, for a metroidvania, I had way more fun exploring than I do with many of the other games of the same genre. All of the little places I can't reach makes me feel curious and thanks to the map system, I won't forget all those places. And whenever I found a new movement item, the game doesn't fail to surprise me on how to solve said problems and it's extremely fun. Kudos to Anon42 for not giving me double jump, I fear for my life how boring these obstacles might be if double jump exists. But again, the game isn't finished yet (holy hell, it isn't, yes I know), so double jump is not out of the question yet.
Fifth, the fact that voice acting exists: I ain't asking for much, just the fact that this game has voice acting is already incredible. Yet, the voice acting in here is EVEN BETTER than what I expected! The VAs are incredible, Alicia's lines is full of personality, and during sex scenes she doesn't turn my boner off like 90% of other voices in other games, other side character's lines are also full of personality and comedic at times. Dialogues doesn't feel unnatural, even when we are talking about having sex with aliens for science. I think the game would not have been as good without voice acting really.
And finally, of course, the H part of the game: So all of that makes a good game, but is the H part good as well? Of course it does! The animations are really nice, and there's a lot of them you can enjoy. The CGs Birch provides are also amazing part on their own, displaying the amazing works of the artists, the VAs and even the writers as well. One thing I'd also add in this part is how the hentai part of the game flows with the gameplay and mechanics. One thing I always adore is how H-games add sex as apart of their gameplay. It's not always common but sometimes H-games will add mechanics connecting both gameplay and sex together, and Crisis Point: Extinction is wonderful at that department. Although the only problem I might add is that it's a beneficial mechanic instead of one that directly affects your gameplay negatively, which I much prefer. Still, having sex as a way to heal really adds a reason to have sex in this game, instead of being counter-intuitive and add it as a game lost only scene and what not. The libido gauge is also pretty nice as well, and another good way to tie in both the H part and the overall gameplay.
In conclusion, I have nothing bad to say about this game, only good, and I mean EXTREMELY good things to say. This game is god-tier work, descended from metroidvania heaven. 10/10, please support Anon42 and their works, it's worth it and they really deserves all the support from you and me.
