Girls Bar & Girls! [v1.01] [Systreid]
Not recommended!
The game isn't bad, but the grind and the time limit together are a combination that completely destroys the game.

The art is very nice but the scenes are few.
The dialogues are well written even if very simple, but they are easy to read.

The gameplay is boring and has no solid basis at all, as the time limit does not allow you to enjoy the game. The gameplay is also very repetitive.

The "new game +" is horrendous, it only allows you to carry the money from the previous run with you, which the player does not have or has little, since he spends it to be able to maxx the stats (at least during the first run).

For completionists it's even worse, I don't recommend the game to them at all. Every run you have to re-maxx the job level and also both stats from 0.

I repeat, it's the combination that breaks the game, it could very well have been a grind and repetitive game, but there shouldn't have been a time limit. Or you give the time limit but you don't need to make the game so grind or it was enough that the new game + brought the money, the two stats and the level of work into the new run.
This way the game would definitely be better, even if it would still be boring.

Mediocre at best. The story is pretty simple, you are a depressed individual in a society and then you meet one of the hostesses of a Girl Bar, conveniently the owner. And so the game beings with you, spending 1-3 action points per day making money or getting a hairstyle to then at night go the Girl Bar and spend money on one of the 3 girls in order to get into their pants.

Now absolutely nothing is explained in the game, I mean it says that fashion helps favorability with women, but how it helps and what it buffs, is completely unknown.

Making money is a chore, so I suggest doing gamble and save-scamming...wait why save-scamming? Well apparently the devs have the ingenious idea to add a 50-weeks game-end lock. Why? nobody knows but it takes about 15 weeks per girl to get them to mid-way on favor.

The cgs are censored and pretty generic as you can tell by the art already. Their personalities are one-dimensional and almost all after-party dialogues are artificial and empty. The idea is there, but the execution is poor at best. Whether you try this game or not, you ain't getting/missing out on too much.

Pretty much what it looks like.

Girls are likeable enough but feel a bit artificial. There are no real twists to the dating sim formula. You chat them up, then get laid. Nothing to complain about as far as art (aside from the usual JP censorship), but there's no VA.

Seems to have gameplay, but it's practically non-existent. There's technically time management, money management & character growth, but it's all as shallow as possible and not a real selling point. The conversations and pick-a-drink mechanics are mostly trial-and-error.

Overall, game would probably be better as a straight-up VN with dialogue choices, but gameplay sells.
