Quite good visual novel with more or less decent arts and disastrous, in a bad way, battle system...no, way....ehhh, approach????
But about everything in order...
STORY
Story starts simple, you a boy Luka that wants to become a hero. But then things escalates...
Main point of a game is a story, not sexual content. So if you just want dirty you pants its a wrong game for this. And by story I mean not something that moves by actions like "jack of my dick in you mouth, I know you like to suck".
Story itself is more or less predictable, if you played in enough games/read enough books/have intelligence 9 and perception 7 or higher, but its not a bad thing.
Still, story contain some TWISTS, but they are not....ehh comes from thin air???...I mean small things that are casual mentioned at the beginning of a game turn out to be quite important things closer to the end of a game. What I trying to say is, whole plot holds one piece. There are no "deus ex machina" situations where new characters/situations/etc appears just to create tension and move plot from dead point.
Yes, there are some roughness and plot lines that lead nowhere, but I can count them on fingers of one hand...even if its hand of sad sack yakuza.
Story itself is not something completely new that world didnt see in the past. But the way its told is solid. There are some funny moments, some sad moments, some moment when "shine, glorious we run, we stare into the blackened sky, save the last command, the virtue blinding" and also some silly moments.
It is worth mentioning that this is a story about the formation of a hero, not about already formed hero. That means there are a lot of scenes where you have high chances to smash your face till blood with facepalms. Just deal with it. You play as a boy after all, not a master of universe.
ARTS AKA GRAPHICS
Does not contain ray tracing.
Arts for characters are serviceable, but there are no a lot of variations. There are only "happy face", "grumpy face" and "neutral face". And even than, not for all characters and even not all plot important characters!!!1111 Most of the background characters doesnt even have dedicated sprite at all, only silhouette that shows who are you talking right now.
There are some attack animation sprites, but they just overlays over whole game window, is not something special and the only reason I mention them is to increase size of a review.
There are also erotic scene sprites...no that counts as pictures, but I want to talk about them later.
MUSIC AND SOUNDS
It have them. That all I can say about them.
I mean, its better than deafening silence, but they are not too special. Just a music/sounds, nothing tosee hear here.
GAMEPLAY
Not very good. How is it on english...can of worms...DONT STICK YOU DICK IN IT....at least not yet, let me finish with it, in both senses, firstly...
So, as enemies here are a various monster girls, obviously.
Basic gameplay is simple, you attack enemies with default attack.
This attack (didnt matter it landed or glance/missed) generate skill point which can be used in future for special attacks.
Each special attack require different amount of skill points.
At the beginning of a game its simple enough, attack three times with default attack, use super attack on generated skill points. But there are a little problem that later becomes a size of an iceberg that sowed Titanic.
Monster girls able to inflict debuff attacks or grapple hero. At first its simple and easy enough, just wait until debuff or struggle, nothing serious. But later in the game both debuffs and grapples become worse.
For example some special attacks of some monster girls (not everyone) can charm hero, which means he cant act at all, which mean defenseless for several combat turns, which mean restart whole battle from the beginning.
If hero grappled he can struggle, but it takes some turns, in which attacks of the enemies become more dangerous.
This is bad, but enemies uses such attack randomly so you can smashing you head through a wall and beat such enemies with pure luck, BUT...
Later in the game hero obtain power of spirits, which he can infuse himself with in battle to gain some advantage over enemies. For example power of wind, which increase speed in battle (chance of avoiding attack) or power of earth (increase defense and attack power and higher chance to struggle out of grapple).
Guess what, advantages are mutually exclusive. That mean that if hero use power of wind AND he have active power of earth, power of earth would be dispelled. Much, much later of the game hero will teach how to use both of them simultaneously, BUT...
Relation of used spirit power to attack are ALSO mutually exclusive.
That mean that hero MUST dodge some attacks using power of wind. "You dont have power of wind/have earth power??? Pfffffff, who do you thing you are, proceed to game over screen, asshole."
Some attack cant be dodged and grapple hero, which MUST have earth power buff to successfully struggle out of it. "Dont have earth power/have only wind power??? Sucks to be you, proceed to game over screen."
EROTIC ELEMENTS?
Game over screen are actually specific to each monster girl and are in fact are a lewd picture featuring hero having sex with monster girl and short, or not so short, story which always are "monster girl are raped you to death".
To be fair to the game, after this its possible to get a hint what exactly you have done wrong with this specific monster girl.
BUT, that will work only for that specific monster girl. Guess what, that specific type of monster girl are not encountered future in the game.
So most of a time you replay battles at least two times (some monster girls have not one but two-three-four trick in their sleeves, which mean repeat battle three-four-five times).
So if you, like me, lost enough brain cells, years of life and NES/Megadrive controllers in Battletoads turbo tunnel, and dont want to lose any more, just cheat.
So overall, gameplay is main weak point. Thats the reason for 4 star rating. If to addition to this it would be impossible to use cheat engine that would be 3 stars.
