Good game. This is going to sound weird but i'm a weird guy so bear with me: to be entirely honest I didn't really engage with the porn much during my playthrough, firstly because i'm an h-on-lose guy and while there are defeat scenes i unfortunately never lost, secondly because i'm not the biggest fan of W/W porn which was the majority of the porn i saw during my playthrough, and thirdly because i was genuinely too invested in the story and characters to care all that much lol. As a result I didn't actually get that much out of this game in terms of the porn experience but I still appreciate it, all of it is still quite good, you'll be happy if you're a W/W enjoyer and/or if you don't mind just using the gallery or playing poorly on purpose, and of course, as i'll get into, i also appreciate many other things about the game.
I'm gonna say my biggest issue is that I wish it was harder, or had a way to make it harder. Maybe I just happened to pick an OP build direction, idk, but I genuinely shredded through everything effortlessly with a drone + combo focused build, only coming remotely close to losing like, two times, and never getting fucked during battle (only found out that can even happen from browsing the steam page). Still, the combat is quite entertaining and kept me engaged despite how simple (and easy) it is, but it makes me sad because I can see some potential in this system if it was just patched to make it harder or have options to make it harder. Like, I could actually have quite a bit of fun with the combat AND see the defeat scenes naturally. Some NG+ extra difficult mode would be great i think. Or a roguelike mode maybe? But I don't think so because the creators have already advertised it with that term despite it not really fitting lol. That term's gotten a bit muddled over the years huh. Anyways.
As I alluded to earlier, I enjoy the writing in this game. It definitely has better writing than every other H game I've played (which isn't saying much considering the type of H games I play, but still). It has themes of the hypercapitalist, oppressive elite vs the poor working class that lashes out in anger and with a desire for a free and fair society, which is like, the last fucking place i expect an H game to go, especially a japanese game with big titty girls that get raped, but if i can force myself to kinda ignore all the sex happening all the time for the player's pleasure and focus on the actual story and characters, it's quite good. Not a masterpiece or anything, it is kinda simple, unsubtle, and maybe a tiny bit too fast paced, but it's unexpectedly quite decent I think. Even when you take the path of adhering to the Liberators' dream, stuff is not black and white. It is reinforced that the Liberators hurt innocent people in their anger and desperation, and that many of them are bad people, and how good their methods are is put into question, but their goal is good and they are ultimately sympathetic (them committing sexual violence weakens this a bit but it's a porn game so i choose to be less harsh on that). Ultimately (spoilers i guess?) the game has an ending where everything basically gets magically fixed by time traveling and undoing the events that made society into what it was, which i don't have super strong opinions about. It was a nice, happy, ending that you could say is a bit shallow but i dunno, you be the judge.
As for the characters, I really liked Luna and Lime, both individually and in terms of their relationship. The game put effort into making me care for them and it worked. I really enjoy their dynamic and they're just cute together. The scene between them was the only W/W scene i actively enjoyed, and (spoilers again ig) I was really sad about Lime's fate, especially since the game successfully tricked me into thinking it wouldn't be reversed. It did disappoint me a little that we didn't see them kiss or them fully as girlfriends or anything but the game is still pretty explicit about the feelings they have for each other and it's obvious enough that they probably get together after the ending so I'm fine with it personally. The rest of the characters I didn't care for as much, mostly because they didn't get that much time to shine. At least each one is memorable in their own way, even if it's in a simple way like Tina's shocking, brutal fate. From this group, the one I could care about the most was Euphelia, mostly because she's the one we get to know the most outside of Luna and Lime.
Also I kinda like Luna's character development just, as a whole. Lime's was also good but i didn't get as invested in it. Luna, at least in the route that I went through, goes from a naive, innocent, nice young woman to one fully aware of the injustices of the world and constantly thinking about how to do the right thing, and also one who is quite proudly horny lol. She's just likable to me idk.
Anyways, I think all of that was it. Overall this game is surprisingly high quality for a porn game, maybe nothing impressively high quality with non-porn game standards but that's not what we're working with so... yeah. I just wish the difficulty got some tuning and/or some options, that's the main thing that makes me a bit sad here. If nothing changes, I'll either only come back to this game for the scenes, or i'll do come up with some sort of challenge run to do lol. Either way, I'll remember this game, I know that much.
