So, I'll start with that despite what people think, the game has more in common with Final Fantasy Adventure for the GameBoy, rather than Link's Awakening (for the same handheld system).
Your objective is to collect exactly 114,514 gold, in order to buy the freedom of you and your sister, who are the last princesses to a kingdom which was destroyed during your capture. Your master allows you 30 days to gather this money. To accomplish this, you wander around the game, finding items that allow you to progress, killing monsters, and doing quests to gain the bulk of your gold.
This actually makes the game a lot more similar to Mystic Quest, in this regard, as you need to find the Axe to bust through barriers, the crossbow to activate distance switches, etc. Obviously, these items also double as weapons, which is a nice bonus.
First off, the 30 day limit isn't that big of a deal. It took a lot of grinding and loading, but I finished the game on the first day, although this would have been much easier, if I had just used the daily quests (you get one quest per day). Leveling isn't very hard, although you do need to level in bulk to really notice anything.
Lastly, the eroticism is there, but it's censored with Mosaics. At least, the version of the game I got, where the adult patch was supposed to be pre-installed, was censored. Maybe I missed something. At the end of every day (which requires you to complete a quest and return home, or just be defeated in battle), you may return to your master and advance time, allowing you to view a scene with them.
You can repeat these scenes through the bookshelf in the jail area at the start of the game, but the scenes with the Bosses seem to be exclusive to their fights, unless they are unlocked through failing the timed events (you have to mash A to escape), in which case I wouldn't know, since I succeeded them.
So, why did I give the game 4 stars? Overall, the game is about 3 hours long, not including deaths, although I could have shortened that by an hour or so, if I had just advanced the days and taken quest rewards. The game is also brutally hard, with enemies often killing you in 4 hits or less, and healing is done mostly through items, or magick, although the latter requires you to invest a considerable amount of levels into MP and INT to get any use out of. There's not really any room for character builds, since you need HP and STR to get anywhere with the game, so there isn't a huge amount of depth.
I was originally going to give it 3 stars, but considering how generous the game is with it's time limit, the difficulty of the game kind of makes sense. 30 lives is more than enough to finish the game, especially if your occasionally willing to load and lose some progress.
Not a bad retro game, but it should have been longer, and a Defense stat would have been greatly appreciated. Endgame enemies deal about 30 damage a hit, which is just over 3 levels fully invested into health, so things often got frustrating quickly. Still, I did finish the game, so nitpicking aside, it was alright.
Although, the game probably is not worth its full price on Steam, if you were interested in supporting the developer.
porn and game boy don't entirely mix, even if you could have held it one handed.
