I want to start by saying this is the first review i've ever left despite completing probably 75-100 VN's by now. I also want to say that I really want to give this one 5 stars but there are just a few things that drive me crazy.
Lets start with the good-
Firstly, i love the story. Well written and proofreading was clearly done. I'm no english major but nothing once stood out to me as bad. The story is great and even if similar to some others in ways, I really truely enjoy it.
The girls are all pretty great both personality and looks wise. Yeah the troupe is in full force and everyone will pretty much instantly want you dick but I kind of give that a pass as you are half Angel and that seems kind of believable.
I am honestly excited for more content and if I could base the game on 95% of its content and the story only I wouldn't hesitate to give 5 stars.
Yea I agree with some of the others and I really don't like how Eliza has changed. I do think the premise is cool and could make the two of them an pretty badass force but on a morally good path at least she needs to be able to better handle her urges to where we shouldn't feel that she is now a liability. Being able to quickly get what is likely the most powerful entity in the universe to control himself, she is absolutely no match for this new thirst...I get it but just wish it wasn't as extreme that she goes from a favorite character to one that i'd rather not be in the game anymore.
But thats not the most aggravating part...
And I can't believe I would ever say this but at this point I nearly wish the Lewd scenes were not in the game. I haven't played previous versions of this game and apparently judging by the opening dialouge maybe it lacked some lewd scenes previously, but now its just too much. HEAR ME OUT!! lol I like them just as much as the next person but 2 things bother me. First, to much! It seriously detracts from the story and second they are scripted so long that I nearly rage quit the game on multiple occasions...DURING A LEWD SCENE.
There is one scene that I went back so I could count how many mouse clicks it took to get thru the lewd scene....243! That is insane. Well over half of those are lines of text, no one needs nearly 200 lines of how much someone enjoys what the other is doing etc. Even kissing scenes that do not turn lewd at all can sometimes be in excess of 45 mouse clicks and lines of text explaining how their lips taste or how they enjoy.... OMG come on already. There is never once a time when MC is leaving and gives a simple kiss and says ok be back in tonight, nope have fun reading for 10 mins about the softness of their lips again.
The Lewd scenes themselves are even ok. Animations are pretty good, not stellar or anything but the scenes are good, but they just carry on and on and on and then once they are done 3 mins later here we are again its painful. The writing is super well done during those parts too, but its way not needed. Maybe its ok to drag along a first time, first kiss, first encounter whatever, a little bit, but every future encounter afterwards doesn't have to be an entire sub story that takes 10 mins to read thru.
I wouldn't spend so long on a review if i wasn't passionate about the game to begin with. It has the potential to be excellent but as it is I really feel like i'm being very generous with 3 stars.
