Now that I've finally had the opportunity to play with the four combinations of sexes and races that came with the remaster, I’m happy to say that I think this is a really wonderful addition to the game and a feature that helped me to engage with more of its content.

Up until now, as much as I like Heavy Five and was looking forward learning more from its interesting characters and rich plot, I found myself somewhat reticent to explore all the ever-expanding paths and event combinations because it didn’t feel right to me to restart the game over and over, constantly changing personalities and not being sure what had happened to which save file anymore.

With the new character customization feature, I finally feel perfectly comfortable attacking the game with four different character archetypes and exploring the different romances and paths in a more organic way. I know and remember how each character acts, what they want and what they did.

Of course, there are even more advantages to the new character creation system.

Even though Heavy Five doesn’t rush the adult content and that in the first chapter you can’t go much beyond explicit flirting, choosing either sex for the MC already presents noticeable differences in how each romance option plays out and what approaches you get to choose. At no moment I felt like the ship’s girls were adapting their personality and sexuality to fit MC’s; you meet the same person regardless of MC’s sex and they have to be carefully worked on taking in consideration their sexuality and preferences in order to stand a chance with them.

Race on the other hand doesn’t seem to have much of an impact to the girls’ attitude toward the MC at all. Maybe in future chapters were new characters appear and sex scenes start to happen we’ll see race having some sort or relevance, but I would find it surprising if many characters care about skin color.

Then again, regardless of the new options and variations that come with different sexes and races, my experience is that creating four distinct characters with unique personalities is much better than simply keeping several playthroughs. It makes me enjoy even more facets of this complex game and also added significant replayability to it, easing up the wait between updates.
