    Hmmm... I was conflicted about playing this. DxD has some good material for porn parody, the girls in DxD are very cool on the other hand we are forced to play as Issei...

    For God's sake, I can't stand Issei as a protagonist, a low quality original character. Unfortunately, I got to the point in the Novel that I no longer liked Issei, despite his dragon powers being awesome, he was still the worst ecchi anime character I've ever seen. I don't even need to talk about the guy who can't even touch the body of so-called harem girls without them forcing themselves on him like a loser. This is why Issei is not the harem king, unlike Basara or Arata.

    At least Dev was kind enough to let the player change the MC's name, it's possible to disguise it so the player doesn't see that he's playing as Issei. but it's still flawed, in some episodes even changing the MC's name, you are called issei. There is still an option to choose the answer and question that the MC asks, this helps the player to build an issei less Simp, get it!

    But in any case and far from that, this game is yet another re-told of the anime/novel itself, even though the quality of the characters is at an incredibly stratospheric level similar to the anime, it still failed in some aspects mentioned above and also by forcing that grind in these minigames, for you to continue the story you would have to repeat the same chapter until you complete all the "Sacred Flames" and release the next chapter. Even playing chess, a silly game that I don't like, was annoying.

    Man, if it weren't for the dear comrades from the game's Thread who posted the cheat codes, so I could advance in the story, I would have abandoned this game, repetition is no fun. I recommend that you add a vn mode, so that players can ignore the "Sacred flames and Xadrex" minigames and just enjoy the story.

    In short, it's not a bad game. Just like many porn parodies are re-tellings, with top-of-the-line graphic design and good sound design, this game has some potential.

    Decent Fan made VN that follows the original story while also adding okay Adult content in a way that doesn't interfere with said story.
    some of the Adult content can be a bit of a chore to 100% but isn't actually too difficult to get unless you're shit at chess.
    4/5 not anything truly exceptional but otherwise solid fan work

    Interesting combination of mini games and story, also minigaems being on theme with a story is a nice touch. Also a player can appreciate non-duality of demon vs demon fights and not so holy side of the holy side.

    Still basically a demo, but so far it is good. It takes the high school DXD story and includes what everyone actually wanted to see from the show. It is well animated and even includes the stupid alarm clock!

    I'm fine with the story, outdated engine and the translated style conversation. But it's really annoying to play a game that's mixed with tons of unskippable cut scenes(slide show). This dialogue, cut scene style is very distracting.
    You play this kind of game with your own pace by watching CG, reading dialogue then proceed by clicking your mouse/pressing a button/tapping on the screen. You can play on your own pace. In this game however, the spamming of cut scenes is on another level. You are foced to watch the slide show which you have no control, sometime follow with a single dialogue which you have to press to proceed then followed by even more slide shows! It just way too many.
    It would be great if we can skip during the slide show play. Not to mention it's mixed with the fantacy of the main protagonist. The pace of the game is...bad... I'm also not a big fan of this on-screen puzzle, it mess up your pace even more.
    I first played the Android version and I thought it only happens on the phone. Then I quickly tried the windows version and they are the same.
