i really have to be honest. i was expecting alot more on the presentatiom, and gameplay front. i apologise for the massive review below.. but this really frustrated me.
the gameplay is.. non existant. the game is 100% linear, with the only real agency you have is whose parameters you choose to boost first. progress with any character + the story requires you to complete all the girls parameters up to the maximum for the story locked relationship rank.
basically. the game is a glorified Kinetic Novel with fairly uninteresting, barebones, and self-playing gameplay tacked on.
gameplay. you have 6 manga meats(or is it a bed symbol? don't care) per day. talking to a girl takes up 1/6, and gives a line of dialogue based on the current story, +1 to their intimacy parameter. performing tasks for 3/4 girls takes up 2, and with chocolat, 4. i'll explain her task last.
if you have a demon nut available at the end of the day (0/6 manga meats). restore 100% health & stamina, and gain 1 xp towards your demon rank(your level).
tasks.
procure demon nuts with aira. costs 100g(cost increases with rel rank)
+3 demon nuts, +intimacy(amount is increased with relationship rank)
///
buy potion from emma. costs 150g(cost increases with rel rank)
+1 potion, +intimacy with emma, -intimacy with aira(amount is increased with relationship rank)
///
train liz.
+intimacy with liz, +intimacy with aira(amount is increased with relationship rank), random chance of increasing a piece of your gears level by +1.
before we get to the last one. let me just say, so far, there is absolutely no need, or purpose of the final task, except increasing chocolat's intimacy faster.
your demon rank, as far as i can tell, has ABSOLUTETLY no affect on any of the game at all... except for the final task.
/// Last task.
complete an adventurer guild contract with chocolat and aira, with 6 repeatable quests in total. each new & harder quest is locked behind story progress.
+intimacy with liz, +intimacy with chocolat(amount is increased), +gold(amount varies between contract), chance to drop equipment. tier is dependent on contract.
characters basically auto battle while you watch, with you only participating to press the group attack button when the special meter hits max. if your HP hits 0, you will automatically drink 2 potions for full health, and 1 for half if you don't have more. if you hit 0, then the contract ends, and you go back to the rest of the game.
there are always exactly 3 predefined monsters, in a predetermined order for every single quest. the monsters, depend on the contract, with higher rank contracts having harder enemies.
getting gear, and increasing your demon rank, and earning money in general really serves no purpose in the game at all. it's more like a bare bones mini-game that doesn't in any way impact the rest of the gameplay. it's not particularly engaging, since theirs no agency, no purpose, and no choice.
money is only used to buy potions or demon nuts. and as long as you have a demon nut available on rest. you increase in rank, which is the only way to level up, which again serves no purpose because you have no agency or affect on the game at all... you don't even actually do any fights in the story quests. it's all read out to you as it was written, exclusive of any action you wasted your time with.
you basically have to wait a set amount of days to level up. and you don't even get to choose how. it just uses the worst kind of leveling. linear class leveling, with each of the 3 chars having predefined classes.... so you don't even get to pretend you're playing.
you can only really equip your char with gear, with the other 2 only able to equip necklaces & rings.
you can equip the main char with weapon, shield, helm, body, boots, gloves, ring & necklace. and the only agency or choice in any of it, is a limit, based on your demon rank, on the total level of your combined equipment. each piece costs it's level, with what looks like 6 equipment levels total.
/////////
and there is 1 more button. the daily sex button, which increases lewdness, and plays a scene. each has unique flavour text, but re-uses the same image/images as the relationship up sex scene.
you require 2 daily sex's per rank to reach the next 1 up.
you have to max out both intimacy and lewdness to increase in relationship rank(when their rank isn't locked behind story progression... which requires you to MAX ALL OF THEM OUT.)
when you've maxed parameters, a unique scene which shows the girls deepening corruption is played.
thats the gameplay summed up.
the last thing i want to address is presentation. but, there's something i want to mention first.
I am INCREDIBLY disappointed with the story. i thought your character was the Demon lord defeated, with you having to corrupt/rape girls around town, and go on quests to regain your lost powers... instead you are a regular, boring old human who only cares about sex, and just ends up being another generic hero, rance rip-off.
i guess maybe i should have looked at the game more than just the title. oh well.
finally.. presentation. this game can't decide whether it wants to be a VN with text completely covering the screen, and no background image... or a VN with actual scenes, and character avatars that speak. and worst of all, you can't use any of the keyboard keys in the annoying overlay text scenes.
i don't play video games to read. and the story itself isn't good enough in my opinion to warrant it. there are FAR better Novels, Manga, etc. that offer what this does and more.
I will admit that the actual images for H scenes are really attractive. and i don't mind the characters. but.. my god is it tedious. the gameplay is incredibly boring. and the long pictureless novel sections aren't really good either.. it's a tedious play.
