One of the first of many copies in what is the genre of ntr-grind-puzzle-simulator games, Handyman Legend gets most of it right. The grind of increasing stats towards the three female interests is acceptable enough to continue to play, unlockables feel helpful and worth the money, and dialogue is sparse but effective.
There's three women you can romance in this game while you go about living life and earning money as a handyman. Two of them have to be unlocked before you can meet them, which makes adventuring and trying out options worthwhile. The same can be said about getting the final CGs for each of them, which require the same kind of exploration and purchasing of lewd materials. Each of them have small but interesting stories and only one of them involves blackmail via lewd pictures so that's a big plus.
The main minigame to acquire money is pretty boring - wait for 30 seconds but stay awake enough that you can hit the quick action events; but this minigame overlaps with the sexual harassment minigame with the heroines which is neat. Unfortunately, the goal when you come to the girls' house to be a handyman is to just activate the h-mode which means completely ignoring the handyman part, so actually tackling the challenge of multitasking the two is effectively pointless (you can earn bonus money by fully maxing the progress bar of the minigame but too often activating h-mode cancelled the bonus).
The h-mode is crude but robust - turn on a pixel animation and turn it up to 11, wait until you make the girl cum enough. While this isn't engaging that's what I actually want from these kinds of minigames because too often you have to pay attention to adjust the speed of the action or some other type of dumb bullshitt which is more annoying then just leaving the game alone for about a minute. So Handyman Legend actually wins in this department. There's some DLC which adds some more h-minigames but because you only have to do them once they don't wear out it's welcome.
The audio in this game is a miss - bgm tracks are a little too repetitive and there's also not enough, sfx leave something to be desired, but the voice actors are all okay and decent, nothing special but it's good enough.
The drawn CGs are in particular spectacular, but the pixel animations are a little too crude and leaves something to be desired. It also doesn't help that between the three girls some of the poses are too similar at each lust level.
This is a fun game to play and if you enjoyed other games in the genre you will have a grand old time here as well. The game is fairly short too so even if you hate it you'll have a full taste of the h-content after a day of playing.
