Good fun.

Not a perfect game (for one, it could really use at least one more Act to further flesh out some of the side cast and give scenes to a few unjustly-left-out girls on other teams), but a ton of fun. The RPG elements and character customization are on-point, so combat and adventuring are actually quite fun in their own right, and the animations look great. And the dating sim elements work fine. There's a bit of stress involved, but nothing too painful.The characters are appealing, and actually a bit more complex than they seem. Satsuki, for instance, *seems* like she'll be the stereotypical man-hating angry tsundere, but within her first scene she's shown a bit of humanity for apologizing after learning about the protagonist's tragedy. And the story isn't bad at all, even if it's mostly stuff you've seen before.The sex is generally well-drawn (assuming you like tiddy monsters, anyway, which I do), and well-written. There are one or two places where the game offers perverse incentives, and the protagonist doesn't really have the chance not to cheat or tomcat about during certain sidequests, but that's the worst I'll say about them. Also, I do wish the defloration bits were *quite* so bloody, but I suspect that's part of the fetish overall.And the NG+ is extremely forgiving and quick if you want to go back and try for other endings, or the harem ending, so there's that too.I was gonna give it four stars, but honestly? I think I've convinced myself writing this and bumped it up a notch, just for how accessible it is. Recommended!
