PreReview:

It has some minor influence in Zelda. I’d say there is a greater amalgam of original ideas at play that you don’t get to see when presuming its just a Zelda clone.

Great writing, evident character diversity, and heart-tugging dialogue that was never quite there with classic Zelda games. Can’t compare them at the moment, except for being a classic style adventure game.

Oh, and the OST absolutely smacks.

Easy recommendation.

While looking like a simple Gameboy game, Prodigal displays a very competent understanding of level design, narrative structure, and character development. Many games on the market emulate older, retro-style games with varying degrees of success. Prodigal not only nails it completely, but also builds upon it with modern techniques and inventive ideas.

The dungeons you explore in the first half of the game are paced well, following a classic formula established by the Legend of Zelda series where you gain new items. The second half of the game takes all your abilities into consideration and bases the dungeons around using all your abilities along with any dungeon gimmicks. In addition, there are optional dungeons with unique bosses you can find based on your town progression.

Pretty good addition to the series. The gameplay is simple, it’s just a memory game. Art, animations and voice acting is good. It’s worth the price (* ̄▽ ̄)b

Athenian Rhapsody

Athenian Rhapsody

Athenian Rhapsody is a new comedic RPG game in which you’ll explore the world of Athens! It is a turn based RPG with intense and fast paced real-time-dodging. You’ll be faced with many challenges, and you’ll have to fight your way through the world by either fighting, or awkwardly trying to make friends with the enemies through pick-up-lines, mean jokes, memory games, and other strange and funny interactions. You’ll also be faced with many vigorous mental challenges, with mind bendingly difficult puzzles such as “Push Button” and “Spell Richard”. There is a vast amount of activities in Athens that do not fall under the RPG category as well, and will catch you off guard.

There are a large amount of enemies you’ll have the chance to battle, all befriendable and all with large amounts of unique dialogue. Some of the creatures you’ll develop a strong bond with will join your party, and you can switch to them in battle! They also have different abilities in battle, so you may want to swap party members depending on the situation. Well, assuming you’ve made friends with them instead of murdering them for their EXP… There are 16 possible followers for you to discover, as well as numerous alternate endings and story extensions based on your decisions ingame.

There is something for everyone to enjoy with lots of unique and engaging battle mechanics, a large amount of characters with their own stories and interactions with the world, and some intensely tough challenges down the line as well.

Cute Honey 3

Cute Honey 3

TLDR at the bottom just above the aheago face

This review will be sectioned into 3 main parts each of which I will give a rating then breakdown why my I think that way. Some backstory on who I am, I am an avid Cute Honey player, and have played through all the previous games with 100% completion. I have enjoyed the series well before the second installment and continue to enjoy the franchise.

UI/Visual Elements 7/10

▶▶▶▶▶▶▶▷▷▷

I give the visual elements 7 triangles out of 10 because of four things. My first problem is that the new buttons(Restart, Skip, Help) are drawn in a more ‘homebew’ style making it hard to tell what the restart button is at first glance, which is a step down from the previous installments. My second problem with the game is the drawing substance that will henceforth be called the coom. The coom in Cute Honey 1-2 is thin and allows for tighter more precise shapes and added creativity as there are more complex shapes can be drawn. However in Cute Honey 3 the coom is girthier and more pixilated. The coom in the trailer is shown as normal, but ingame it is girthier so it might be a glitch(if its patched I will change this review). My third problem is many of the elements are much lower res compared to many of the other assets and look out of place, for example in the “menu” there are side Flairs that are low res compared to the characters and their borders. This segways well into my fourth and last problem, and that is the lack of a clear menu. The main menu, if it can be called that, is two pictures of the two main girls that’s it. no text, nothing. Overall the visual aspects are a step down from the previous games in both clarity and appeal.

Romancelvania

Romancelvania

Romancelvania is a both a loving parody of Metroidvanias and fresh take on dating in games. It’s an RPG that features in-depth weapon and magic based combat, exploration based platforming, and a cast of gorgeous monsters that you won’t be able to resist.

You play as the legendary playboy vampire himself, Drac, as he battles and romances his way across Transylvania. After being reluctantly recruited by the Grim Reaper to star in a “reality dating show,” he’s on a mission to find the world’s most eligible monsters, get them to move into his party mansion, and restore his former glory by killing everything in his path along the way.

Introducing the Thirsty Metroidvania - Romance your way across Transylvania, encounter absurd monsters, craft weapons, learn magic, and more.

Build your castle - Grow the party mansion as you convince more cast members to move in, and decide where monsters live to get stat and skill bonuses.

Enjoy the Showmance - Take the cast members on outlandish dates, massage your sweetheart to unlock more conversation options, and spend time getting to know these supernatural hotties.

Shutterbug Stud

Shutterbug Stud

Shutterbug Stud is a fun, character driven, scavenger hunt, where the player is commissioned to take pictures of local girls for a calendar. As such, the player must roam the town and countryside looking for willing girls to photograph, and fulfilling tasks for ~almost~ willing girls. For every (quality) picture you deliver you are paid, and are one step closer to the goal of a finished calendar and, hopefully, a fat wallet.

An RPG Maker game, enjoy exploring the town, seeing the sights (and the girls) and maybe finding some hidden secrets to discover.

The core game is filled with characters and pictures that range from cute to a little suggestive. A planned expansion has pictures ranging from suggestive to very suggestive, but still fairly tame. Further expansions (or third party art) may push these limits even further.

FEATURING:

  • • 12 Major Characters

  • • 24 Reward Pictures

  • • Scenic Morlock Lake (Town and Environs) to Explore

  • • Standard RPG Maker Controller Support

  • • Art package free (found in core game files)

  • • DLC Coming Soon!

I bought this game for my 4 year old girl because it caught her eye and she enjoys these “pin-pull” puzzle games on the mobile.

She enjoys it, but I dunno about some of the pictures and stuff… seems a bit weird to me, idk.
