Unity - Completed - Lustful Traditional Massage Parlor - Mothers and Daughters Addicted to Secret Services - [Steam] [WAKUWAKU]

Here goes the review of the game:
Art: Really good art.
Charachters : Quite diverse, refreshing (Step-Sister is my fav).
Story: Very interesting story, i really wanted the MC to succeed and save all the girls from "evil".
Sound: Good enough
Sex scenes: Diverse and very hot. Since you did achieve them trough a lot of farm, they have more worth then free and instant ones. I feel like I achieved the sex scenes, and that's a plus.
Farm: Way too much time spent on this game, i even played it twice, in order to achieve a different ending.
Ending: Horrible, i wouldn't have played it a second time if I knew that would have not have mattered.
Still, a nice experience, the game is too grindy even with the help in the game.

Nice story, simple addictive gameplay and don't forget the scenes
Honestly surprised on how many IRL knowledge used in the conversations at the bar (Like you can google these things)
Another thing about the bar, the RNG games can get frustrating but after progressing relationships more and beating the given quests at the 80% mark, it gave me item that let's me win 100% in the "RNG" games so no much opinion on that.
The music too, really sets the mood right.
The only critisism i have, (where is the book that teaches you how to get scenes in the prequal?)

Good game, with nice art, and pretty entertaining mini-games. Can be a little grinding like the prequel, but it's solved easily with cheats. The translation looks good.
Humor it's a little off in this one, maybe it was a little rushed, idk

The first 2 hours are really fun if you dont come in with the mindset of seeing porn from the get-go. The minigames of fighting and advertising is fun to begin with. The management of the massage parlour is fun the first 3-4 times and the dating is a fun extra thing. But you quickly see there is not much else after this. You unlock some sexy ways to massage but they generally just lead to some boring sex. The people you hire do not perform any sexual favorts, the rooms you unlock is just the same bed, but sometimes 2 beds in 1. And the fights are all the same except sometimes a bigger dude.

Highly recommend to play it for 2 hours ish, but dont go for completing the game.

A fun 4 hours game, with decent porn... Diluted in a nightmarish grindfest.
I don't think I could put this in better words... What a waste of potential.

The minigames are interesting at first, but after a while, they become unnecessarily repetitive without the possibility to skip to the good parts.
The characters are enjoyable but that's it...

3.5/5 art
2/4 animations
3/5 gameplay loop
1/5 grind reward balancement

The self-defense dojo story (predecessor project) is a very entertaining porn game, a solid 5-star. This one? Not at all. Ironically, I've more fun with the pinball mini-games than the main storyline nor the porn contents.

I wish there's a button to automate the "massage parlor task" cause it's just primitively tedious & unnecessarily grindy, like... dinner-dash grindy.

Also, I wish there's an option to just play the pinball mini-games only, without having to play the main game.

Hard to say something that hasn't already been said. If this game had mediocre or worse art, ratings would be considerably lower. The art in this game is truly beautiful. The menus are polished, the pinball style minigame is fun and the effects are well done. It's artistically superior to many titles.

The story and writing are good-to-great. There is some translation issues but it's better than a usual translation. The dialog is nice to read.

The gameplay has its ups and downs, and unfortunately the downs are lower than the ups are high. As I mentioned, the pinball minigame is very fun, imo. The management portion (main portion) has many of the right ingredients but it quickly becomes a chore. It feels like the management portion was constructed just to slow you down and pace you through the story, instead of being constructed to be a fun experience. It's not horrible, but I wouldn't call it good either. It's fine.

I've read mention of the RNG aspect - ignore those comments, they're only half true. Eventually you unlock abilities to make the RNG go away. I don't like this very much, as you could waste a lot of time in the RNG (as many folks obviously have), but if you're sensible and say "damn this isn't working" and just ignore those optional parts for a bit, eventually the game makes them better. I love the idea of a progression mechanic, but the way it is implemented here is more of a negative. Effective progression mechanics start by giving they player an experience that is at least workable, and then making them more capable. This one starts you in a place that is miserable and then toggles you into OP mode eventually. Not good.

So yeah, kinda torn. I'd call this 3.5, rounding up to 4. The art is truly wonderful, both the full screen 2D CG's (stills and animated) and the high res sprite sex scenes. There is also threesome mother/daughter content, and many positions. I did however read that the ending is extremely sad, and so I avoided this. Basically, it sounds like you eventually complete your goal, but are then backstabbed, and your friend is killed, and then you have to say goodbye to your girls - to be continued later. I fucking hate this shit in H games. Devs, players are here to masturbate, get your head out of your ass. So, no, actually I'm going to bump this down to 3 stars lol, that's an obviously stupid and easily rectified item.

I wouldn't mind this game having a gameplay loop and making you kind of lowkey grind if the gameplay was actually fun. That said, the gameplay isn't very fun.

You spend each day managing a massage parlor before fighting thugs at night, handing out flyers to potential customers, or hanging out at a bar and building up your alcohol tolerance while being constantly reminded of how socially inept you are.

The massage sim stuff dumbs down to clicking through menus a couple times and sending the right people to massage customers. You train your masseuses and upgrade their stats. Occasionally, one of the love interests walk in and you can do a super special massage event for them. It gets dull after a while.

At night, you play pinball, using yourself and your coworkers to fight off gangsters and other unhinged mfers in the the city. After you beat up all the miscreants in an area, you can then go around attracting customers with the same pinball minigame. You also slowly unlock more workers on the side.

The bar minigame be like - the more you drink, the more alcohol tolerance MC gets. More alcohol tolerance = more time to interact with your drinking partner and drink stronger drinks that THEY like. You also have to pick the right options during convos or you lose favorability.

MC is apart of yakuza and his boss was like, bro go prove yourself by being a masseuse (what??). There's multiple waifus, but tbh I dropped this game halfway because the grind got really tedious and tiring. Art is nice and girls are lowkey hot, but not worth the amount of BS you gotta sit through to get there.

3/5, play it if you really like management sims I guess? But even as the more gamey porn games go, this one sucks - I'd rather play Monster Girl Bifrost.

our old bro kota is making a comeback as budget kiryu kazuma
and he's ready to steal more milfs (and their daughters too this time)

it's a pretty nice game, butt i'm not very sure whether this game want to focus on the massage parlor management or the drink-with-girls kinda game (like dream club or the more recently bunny garden)
while i like both genre, it feels too unfocused at times

the management section feels too easy since you get "free" employees that start out already very strong and only need little investment to carry you for the rest of the game
the massaging mini game feels more like a hassle after you do it for the xth time
around 15th day, i just automate the management and use the fast forward item while cursing under my breath why i can't just skip it altogether

the drinking mini game part starts out impossibly hard.... until you realize it's just another grind to get strong enough to drink everyone under the table
you also get items that let you win the janken and dice mini game 100%, so you can get those first before aiming for the drunk HCGs

overall i give it 3.5 star
add 0.5 for the nice animation so it rounded up at 4/5

A simplified management game compared to the studio's previous game. No items you go out of your way to get and no secret events that happen at certain times. Unless you encounter bugs, it is easy to get to the ending. But the very simply gameplay loop means you will have very little to do and be doing those same activities over and over.

Con:
- Too much activity is RNG based. The Rock/Paper/Scissors and Dice games are annoying but manageable. The main combat system uses a pinball system that seems fun at first but it seems too chaotic and random to be fun after a while.
- The girls are not distinct. There is nothing memorable about them and little effort was put into them other than their appearance.
- The Auto-Management is great but it so boring watching everything on auto. If there was a way to speed up during auto it would have been better.
- It is so annoying choosing a topic to talk the women with and being told "The girl is not drunk enough or like you enough. Choose something else!" Is it too much to ask to only list topics you can talk about at the time?
- The sex scenes are drunk sleep rape and normal sex. The scenes are okay but there is only small pixel movements nothing exciting.

Pro:
- Oyakodon

I listed only the cons because that is what I remember most. It was a exciting game in the beginning but as I played more only the cons I remember. It is a good one time game to play but I doubt I will ever play it again.

Very good animation and fun story. Minigames are not to tired. Fighting is main minigame. If its too hard u can use cheat engine to make your main character stronger easy and fast. Few main heroins and few sub heroins. U can go on the date i meet them better and of course make some naughty stuff. I prefer use cheat engine to cheat money. Its similar to first game of WakuWaku studio "Dojo NTR".

The gameplay can get very addictive. Heck, I played the whole thing in one sitting.
I really like the combat system, it's one of the most unique mechanics for combat I've ever seen. There's really no better feeling than getting that one amazing shot that continuously bounces all over the screen.
The management is simple enough but it still takes a good amount of planning, and I really do appreciate being able to automate the gameplay. I'd go insane if I had to manually manage everything for 30 days. It does start to get boring near the end though with no way to skip days or when you reach the goal, you don't get an option to skip to the last day.

I really, really like the art. Especially the bar scenes where you are drinking with the girls and the CG where they take their clothing off. It's really adorable and stands out from the many other anime artstyles. Also the MC is a badass and not an ugly bastard.

Main ending was a bit sad but I'm hoping to get the others.
Really great game.

Inaccessible menu in the beginning of the game ruins everything, I experienced bug and had to restart everything because I can't fucking save in this stupid game.
Gameplay is awful, game is boring, it's not worth the time.
It's actually crazy they made new game this bad when the last one was amazing. Pretty sure they made this shitty game just for money, not for enjoyable user experience.
Previous game was better, this one is annoying as fuck.

Gameplay mechanics are slow but pick up fast. Scenes are great. Only gripe is the dlc. I can’t move while in the gym but I figure this will be resolved in a few days. Honestly another great game from WAKUWAKU. Please support the creators of you enjoy it as well.

Very grindy, repetitive, filled with long and boring rudimentary mini-games based on random, which is the worst part. Win 6-8 rounds of a 50%/50% guessing game to get a scene, no luck? Spend another 15 minutes to try again.

The dev doesn't realize that the main content shouldn't revolve around these goofy non-hentai minigames.
You're gonna have to work hard to open even one damn scene.

Even with Mtl and no Dlc this game was an 8/10. With proper translation I cannot rank it anywhere below 9/10.

Art - 9/10 the artsyle is unique and hot, the entire game is custom assets which is very welcome.

Scenes - 7.5/10 a bit hard to get at first and some scenes feel like they take a tad too much time but it the scenes themselves are very great, hot and varied.

Story - 8/10 as a sequel for the previous game it more than delivers, the plot is good but not overbearing which is all that I can ask for in a hentai game. There is enough to sink your teeth into and get you invested but sparse enough to let you ignore it if you want to.

Gameplay - 7/10 While the management part is definitely a miss for as it takes WAY too long after the first few times you can automate it so its fine. The pachinko style minigame is actually really fun and innovative in my opinion. It can feel a bit hard at first but once you get the hang of it it really gets going.

Sound - 6/10 good enough

Overall, it is great game and a step up from the previous one, you should really try it, you won't regret it.

Story : 7/10
Originality : 10/10
Renders/Art : 8.5/10
Sound : 8/10
Playability : 8.5/10
Performance : 10/10
Bugs : Bug free.
Animations : 10/10.
Voice Acting : 8/10.
Grammar : some MTL.
Amount of content : between all the girls and side content the game is packed full.

Massage girls, take over gangs, fight freaks and become the ultimate ntr bull chad. Game is a lil bit grindy at first but once you unlock auto-mode it plays itself.
Another NTR gem from this dev, check out his other dojo game if you didn't.
