Gameplay : 4/5
You can expect one hour of gameplay, or two if you see all the bad endings. It's a slightly revised RPG Maker game. You choose an action then roll a damage dice. There are also some skills. These allow you to perform two actions per turn and evade damage. The main differences in this game are the presence of several minigames and infiltration-based gameplay. While not all of the minigames are of the same quality, they are still enjoyable. Except the walk part. It sucked. Most of them rely on rhythm gameplay or act like easy QTEs. During the first part of the game, when you have no other way to restore your resources, managing items becomes slightly more important. If you are careful, you have more than enough. You get most of the H-Scenes by losing.
Story : 3/5
It really plays like an actual two-episode hentai anime. Kunoichi goes on a mission and horrible things happen, but it has a happy ending anyway. It doesn't really matter. She sometimes lets enemies take advantage of her too quickly. She should have other solutions before that. There's not much else to say except that the Oni part is a bit underused. I expect it will be expanded upon in episode 2.
Art : 3/5
Fine! Old-school charm. Botan is hot, but the loli sidekick is not my type. The other unique CGs are fine, too. But the game itself is not especially beautiful. Not even for an RPG Maker game.
H-Content : 3/5
Nothing animated. The large majority of scenes are for Botan. There are some for the sidekick, one for the chief, one for the teacher, and one for a random girl. Almost all of them are rape, either as a result of losing an encounter or minigame, or as an inevitable part of the story. A "virgin" playthrough is not possible. There is a tolerable amount of water sports and some anal. There is also a scene where the character is stuck in a wall. Impregnation lovers like myself will be disappointed. There are only a few in the bad endings, and the canon ending is not one of them. There are some guro tendencies, but they're not a big part of the game (mostly bad endings). There is only one scene that could be hard to read, but thankfully, it's only in text and only in a bad ending. I regret that, although Botan is introduced as an adept Kunoichi who uses her body for her missions, in the game she is forced into these situations and mostly acts like an inexperienced girl. The ability to slightly change Botan Outfit in the second part of the game is really nice.
Translation 4/5 :
It's almost perfect! The story is understandable from start to finish, but I noticed two instances where Japanese replaced English. There is also a LOT of text, which sometimes breaks the pace. Mostly hentai dialogue.
Tips :
- F12 allows for a quick reset of the game. helpful in infiltration parts with the Half-Onis.
- Manage your items but don't be too stingy. Try to keep them for the second part of the game. And even then there will be full heal station regularly.
- Keep pressing CTRL. Sometimes there is a LOT of texts to go trough.
- You can summon your Shadows Clones even outside of combat. Helpful to go in combat with it already deployed.
- During the shadow clones minigames. Simply press the arrow key TWO times to center her eyes.
- No tips for the walking minigame. It sucked.
- If you can evade combat, do it ! No gain from it. No exp or gold or anything.
Conclusion : 4/5
It's good quality for something simple. The hentai adaptation—or is it the opposite?—is not as good as the game. I look forward to the second game.
