From what I've played of the game thus far. Largely the NTS side of things feels far more like a game and a bit more exciting. I'll never understand exactly how it is that people find the oblivious idiot's point of view of things as exciting. With this game it's especially true though, you don't even get to watch the scenes unless you stop what you are doing and go to the menu and watch from a different perspective. Otherwise you just see.. barely anything at all and assume that everything is fine and move on.
Playing the NTS route however, you get to conspire with the futa and get to come up with plans on how to help her get the girl's attentions. In my opinion there also seems to be something there between the Futa and Protag as well, but the author has stated this won't be explored ever period, so whatever.
My Biggest complaint on this is that you don't really ever get to see or hear exactly how it is that the Futa has managed to get half of the girls. Some of them you get to understand, but others it's just like "Okay. I magically have game and got into their pants" which kind of comes off more so as though the author couldn't think of a way for them to be seduced so they just skipped to the part where it happened already.
I've had a major gripe with the game Futa Family and it's Introduction and exactly how having an NTR off and on switch weakens the game, but to some extent at least.. I can sort of understand it being prevalent here, as the NTR path is a fairly different story than the NTS path.. That being said, I honestly couldn't enjoy the NTR path.. like at all. Objectively it should be fine, but I guess it was something that just didn't mesh well with me on a subjective level? Hard to say.
In general though, I do tend to find in my liking at least, that I don't much care for seeing things from a cucks perspective where they are absolutely powerless and/or oblivious.. It just comes off as unfun.. Like a boring story being told. I like interacting and playing games, it's why I seek out eroge.
Overall the game so far is coming along great. There's some errors here and there, I've only ever experienced one major bug (I'm really good at getting bugs to happen in these RPGM games for some reason) and it was solved by simply reloading.
------------------------------------------------
On a personal level, during the Hide and Seek thing.. I think that the Hero should sort of mention "I think I heard her going the direction of the castle." or "I bet she went to the slums this time." or something to that degree.. Just give people some general idea of where to go first.. Because this segment comes off as nothing but a time waster otherwise to setup for a pitiful NTR scene where
TLDR:
Pros:
+ Introduction might be a bit shaky, but it does it's job.
+ NTR route switches are placed for a solid reason..
+ Game has some pretty solid Scenes
+ The First actual sex scene comes off hilarious to me, it's great for multiple reasons
+ I have hope for the game to go in a good direction for enabling us to have the most fun
Cons:
- Strong part of me wishes the author would double down on one particular path to make it as fun as possible first
- Maybe a minor gripe, but most of the girls kind of look similar or the same (Especially in the face). Variety would be nice.. more than just hair style and color should be changed..
- The Combat in the game kind of feels forced and almost unnecessary. I wish it was either more fun, more interactive, or required more strategy. (Imagine if the girls were getting handsy with either each other or the enemies in combat? or what if some of the bosses also tried to turn things sexual? What if they used aphrodisiacs on the party?)
- The world of the game doesn't really stand out as strongly to me as in other titles, some quests are more frustrating due to the size of the maps and most POIs are very lackluster
- Also, though it's been explicitly stated it's not gonna be a thing. I find myself finding that there are scenes that would be hot that could pop up involving the main hero and any of the other girls than his girlfriend.. Seems like a waste of potential
Last Words:
Game is doing fair so far, could go either way, I'd gladly revisit this title anytime its updated. It's a major improvement from the first iteration. Definitely worth keeping your eye on if you're a fan of NTR/NTS or Futa/Trans stuffs. If some scenes are updated and errors were fixed, I'd easily grant the game a 4 star, but it has too many minor problems and objective issues with the game itself for me to award it more even if subjectively I may like the game..
