Review for v0.01
Another game with potential yet again brought way down by the fact that the MC makes me want to bash my brains in at points. The exaggerated reactions, the abbreviated text message style spelling, and especially during sex scenes where we get dialogue like "OMG SHE'S TOUCHING MY DICK THERE'S NO WAY" or "Fuck man I need to stay on guard so I don't burst early I'm LITERALLY on the edge OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG."
Holy fuck, just stop talking man.
So besides that what's the deal with this game? In the midst of having lost literally every good aspect of his life, the MC sits praying for one more chance. Simultaneously, Earth is about to be destroyed by nuclear war. A succubus goddess pops in and offers us a contract in exchange for saving us. We sign because why not and she teleports us away. We quickly learn the purpose of this whole thing was to turn us into her chosen slave knight/champion to go fight in a proxy war on another planet in order to essentially conquer it. The reason she chose us? We have a large dick. I guess it fits since the MC has no other redeemable qualities to speak of. She basically gives us the power of our smell being an aphrodisiac and then sends us on our way.
I'll praise the game where it's due. The models look pretty good for Koikatsu, and the few animations are also very impressive for Koikatsu. Not a lot of Koikatsu games even come close in that regard. It seems to be femdom-y for sure but I feel that's pretty obvious. Too early to say how much that might change, but the dev has made comments saying most relationships will be more "normal."
For love interests we have thus far: A doll maid who beats the fuck out of you for going off on her mistress and likely views you as a worm, a girl who's actually just a demi-human racist, and a doctor who gives you a blowjob while you're in a coma. Endearing. Some of the other girls seem alright admittedly, but we don't get enough of them yet for me to say for sure.
I wasn't expecting stellar writing going in, since I think this game makes it obvious it's focused at least somewhat on being more of a porn game so to speak. I don't have a problem with that. I think the premise is fun myself even. It's just that the MC not only on his own, but his dynamic with the few other characters he interacts with is actually so unappealing so far that I find it hard to enjoy the game. I get that he as a character has gone through a lot with no time to process it, but the way that is handled so far isn't connecting with me. The succubus essentially just mind controlled him to stop being sad so now he gets awkwardly cocky until he's put back in place.
Genuinely I want to like this and I'll probably give it one more shot after a couple more updates, but if the MC with his lame jokes and exaggerated reactions doesn't noticeably improve, and quickly, I'd drop this for good. Maybe I'm too picky, but I just can't get into it as is. The quality is there, the characters are not.
