Half a score for half a game. My Expedition has a good foundation, but really feels like the dev got tired of it halfway through and just shipped what he had.
Good:
+ Louise is hot
+ Games like this often only contain rape, so it's nice that this one lets Louise use her body to tempt cowboys into her party, take a larger share of the spoils, or earn a little side cash. She can also have sex with them in camp, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
YMMV:
= You can earn some extra cash through prostitution with the cowboys in the bar (mainly at the start of the game since it's easy to make a lot of money through expeditions), but if you do it too much Louise goes "Wait a minute, why do I gotta risk my life raiding jungle ruins when I can make a fortune without leaving the port?" and the game ends. I think it's pretty amusing, though I know others don't feel that way.
= I was expecting the randomized stats to always have the same sum, but instead you can just reroll all characters until you get one with high stats across the board. Or low stats, if you prefer.
Bad:
- There are six guns but they're all handguns and aren't really that different. I would've liked to see shotguns and rifles so you can engage enemies at different ranges.
- There's an event to get cooking or medicine to level 2, with no way to improve the skill you don't pick. Not that it really matters: cooking lv2 upgrades crab steak to crab soup (crabs are only found in one room), while medicine lv2 lets you turn herbs into anti-poison. The latter would theoretically be useful for inventory management, but this is the kind of game where you leave healing items on the floor in order to carry more loot.
- The control scheme is weird. You use WASD to move (ok), R to reload (sometimes it doesn't let you), F to kick (there's no limit to the amount of ammo you can carry so you'll only run out due to negligence), and E to interact. That's all fine. However, you need to hold K to ready your gun and press J to shoot, U/O to dodge, and L (???) to crouch. Also, menus are controlled with the mouse. It's fairly common to see lewd games which can be played with one hand; this is my first time seeing one which requires 3.
- The gallery doesn't replay the scenes associated with the CGs; you can only view the pictures and there aren't any hits for scenes you haven't seen. There is also a section for the animations, but most only have 2 positions and none have a finish.
- I mentioned leaving healing items on the floor: not all status effects are present in each section, but even if you get hit with poison it probably won't noticeably inconvenience you.
