I don't know if this thread is supposed to be moved elsewhere now that the game has been machine-translated, so I ask mods to move my review with the game if deemed fit.
The game is average by old h-game standards, and good by modern standards.
The plot is simple, yet convoluted at the same time. The premise is resolved by the end, but the main knight never recovers her memory and the alien invasion is left at a cliffhanger.
2/5
The gameplay can be cheesed by spamming right-click commencing with an enemy attack (easy parries & heals from then onwards). The follower's powers are interesting.
5/5 just for not being generic RPGMaker turn-based combat, yet still cohesiveIt's faster Elder Scrolls instead! (3/5)
The pornography is standard melon22: ~10 actual sex scenes, naked chiseled & voluptuous women, and your character loses her armour at critical health. The art is great as per usual, but actually seeing it is a pain. In order:
1) Only one sex scene can be chosen out of a few during certain events, while some require defeat in certain places; this is all circumvented by the gallery unlock after the final boss
2) Seeing the allies nude in the bath requires giving them bath incense (costs 30 gold each, totaling 150). This is earned by grinding the cactus in town for herbs, then using it with the meat from enemies and bread you buy to make bento boxes that you can resell for 20 gold. Please note that the cactus can kill you, and the incense is necessary to power up your allies' support attacks.
3) You cannot see your character's reflection, just her naked breasts by looking down; on the plus side, her breasts jiggle even when clothed.
5/5 for art, 2/5 for accessing the art
Overall, Baldacchino|バルダッキーノ is mediocre. The reasons why I consider it to be above average are the
> artwork
> different gameplay
> utter state of the greater h-scene
Ranking the characters:
(blonde) bunnygirl bandit > (blue) knight captain > (redhead) main character > (purple) alien apostle > (tanned albino) shrine maiden > (green-grey) alien knight = (brunette) rookie knight
