    It's bad.
    The translation is actively terrible. Raw MTL would be more comprehensible than the "English" we're getting served up, or at the very least, contain fewer typos. For many skills you have to take them, use them, then look at the tooltip of the status effect it gives in order to find out what the skill actually does. UI text is often cut off or overlapping each other (a hallmark of mtls since Japanese can represent something like "Attack Power" in only two characters so the text box is often sized accordingly), but again: there are too many typos to believe a machine doesn't know how to spell "village." The dev even claims to live or have lived in Canada, so there's really no reason for the translation to be this bad, particularly in 2024.
    So: the translation is terrible but certainly the gameplay!... no, the gameplay is bad too. This game is clearly inspired by Slay the Spire, and I don't mean "it's a rougelike" (there aren't even any cards!), but it has things such as a triple louse fight and a Waffle relic which gives +10 max HP and a full heal. Unfortunately, the dev didn't think about what makes Spire good, so instead we have things like relics and skills which are strictly worse than others despite having the same cost, and a random even which takes ALL of your money (which feels extra-bad since maybe you had opted to spend less in town in order to set yourself up well at an in-dungeon shop). The "you can only hold six skills," system would be interesting if there were at least six skills worth using.
    The only thing this game does right is serve as an example of H-game shovel-ware which could have been decent (or even good!) if the dev had been willing to put in just a little more work in the presentation and mechanics instead of relying on the porn to carry it. Which is a real shame since the initial premise isn't all that bad, and the art may even be to your liking.

    this game is dogshit

    i played it because i expected it to be like Slay the Spire--and like, sure? it's like an incredibly bad, boring, tedious version of the game

    there's no cards; instead, you just have up to 6 skills, which you have at all times. they're all EXTREMELY basic, with many skills being objectively better (for instance, Artema is a 3-cost AOE skill that deals 80 damage. Death is a 3-cost AOE skill that deals 50 damage. you would NEVER use Death over Artema, outside of not having the latter). the game's also incredibly easy... which, sure, it's a porn game, i get that

    but you also need to grind a ton. the game just goes "go into the dungeon and win at it and get money to buy upgrades", but there's also stuff like an event where a thief steals either half or all of your money, resetting so much progress. i just used cheat engine to hack in enough money because i was so tired of it, and it still took me quite a bit of time to get through

    this game is not worth your time. the scenes are okay, though ai-assisted in some capacity apparently (looking at it, i think the porn cg is drawn, and the ai was used for other aspects of the game, like random monster portraits--but i could be wrong)

    don't play this

    Pretty much garbage. It has elements that vaguely resemble a game, but that's it. The only way I can see anyone losing at any point is if you're trying, which is just bad for a self-proclaimed roguelike. Progress is tied to money, making you go through very boring dungeons again and again for upgrades in the village so that things get even more boring. The story is beyond stupid, just read the premise, it's only going to get worse from there. The 'translation' is so bad I'm not even sure it's MTL, there's plenty of spelling errors, the one thing MTL usually doesn't completely butcher.

    The only reason I'm giving this any credit at all is the art and the music. The music is nothing great, but at least it isn't the same shitty stock music you get in every other game. The art is at least decent, but the 'translation' makes it almost impossible to enjoy. You mostly get the gist of it, though that doesn't help with the stupidity of the 'story'.
