Saint Sasha and the Scarlet Demon's Stone 1.05, MTL Translation by DazedAnon
I tried to like this game. I really did. It has everything I could possibly like but this version (1.05) of the game is simply unplayable. The game is infested with bugs from those which don't impact the gameplay too much (like after seeing the dance event, your character portrait will be stuck with the dancer clothing) to game breaking bugs (such as the Goblin Leader quest not spawning any goblins or when you watch the bath event and her ass gets stuck on your face).
The game is clearly inspired by Shimobashira Workshop games and it's setting is nothing new. A nun needs to repay a debt and from that her corruption story starts, but what frustrates me the most is that most of those stories have plain protagonist that don't have much personality nor reactions to what's happening to her, and this game is also guilty of that.
The Good:
- The translation is good enough.
- The main character is gorgeous. No exaggerated proportions.
- The artstyle is above average.
- As I said before, the premise is OK and the main story is also OK.
The Bad:
- The character portrait is just a wast of space, the heroine only has one facial expression and from what I saw only one variation (nun clothes and dancer clothes).
- The story is all over the place, no real sense of progression.
- Most scenarios are boring, nothing new or that I haven't seen anywhere else.
The Ugly:
- The game is infested with bugs, some of them are tame while others destroy your progression.
- The crafting system/ harvesting feels like an afterthought, it's been a while since I saw a game with such a bad implementation.
- The main heroine is like wooden board. No traits that differentiates her from other female protagonists and her reactions during H-Scenes are boring.
For those sins and many more. I can't recommend this game, just download a full gallery save and be done with it.
