So far, the art is amazingly nice, there's a pretty cool intro that is well animated, and the UI is fairly intuitive. I will say as a point of criticism that it's really weird to not have the save function as apart of the main menu, and it's instead under Key items as the save-anywhere-pen. While not the worst, it is unintuitive and isn't the first thing one thinks of when thinking of a save function. Also, I still haven't figured out how to load without quitting the game entirely. So far, from what I can see in the tutorial, the scenes will be uncensored, and the art is gorgeous. I haven't gotten into a battle yet, that's kind of an issue of slower pacing, but part of that is my own fault with misunderstanding the save funtion, making me start all over to read and actually pay attention. There isn't an object screen either so if you're like me and take breaks for either a bump or toke, then you tend to forget what the objectives are, which is annoying. You can switch formation between heriones, which is a cool idea, however, switching the formation doesn't change the main story, which is disappointing. I was slightly excited at the notion of possibly having different dialouge depending on the herione in the front of the formation, however, I overestimated this a lot, as the main story is seemingly linear, so far. Maybe there'll be branching points latter on, it is what it is. This is the beginning of the game, so it possibly assumes you'll be playing as Astel, the main protagonist. Also, regarding the story, there is elements of gender-bend, so be prepared for that. It doesn't seem to be focusing on too much of the fetishization of this, so far, but likely will play apart of the story if one wishes to progress that way. It explicitly mentions that there is a "Virgin Clear Route" so that's fun. I appreciate the inclusion of rewarding a pure play route, as not too many kagura games do that. It's a nice little touch that shows the devs really care about the customer's experience in playing this game, which that alone, should sell one to buy this game. I honestly think this game is likely worth it, full price, but will update the review if anything egregious comes up.

I'm going to say up front. If you're getting this for the h-content alone this is not a recommend. The H-content feels like an afterthought. There's a lot of it, but it's not particularly great (it's not bad either just dull), and for what appears to be a corruption game it's lacking in impact in that category. Probably the most frustrating thing for me in particular is that it has zero impact on the story. Like the one good thing about it is I like all the girls for different reasons in the h-content, but I'd like for there to be some impact aside from the virgin clear giving you a reward. Now for why this is something I do recommend. As a JRPG it's decent. While I am just playing on normal there appears to be a lot of thought put into making the higher difficulties a challenge. There's a decent bit of complexity in the systems that probably could be fun to figure out. Personally, I'm happy enough with normal as it's enough to keep me engaged without falling asleep and I can skip past a significant group of mobs to avoid grinding when I might otherwise have to. The story for this is decent. I have not completed it as of yet, but I'm about 2/3 of the way through, and I'm comfortable enough with giving the game a review as a result of that. All three MCs are very likeable with fun quirks and solid dramatic moments. The world is really neat, and even reading the extra lore bits is really cool as that's not something I usually do. Now that I think of it... I like this game for a lot of the same reasons I like Demons Roots, and if anything the h-content is a bit of a detriment to the game. Most of the fun I've gotten out of this game is just from progressing the story.

Played this game previously before purchasing it myself, and even thought that's not how I found the game, I really ended up liking the characters in this game, and kept wanting to see what would happen next. The story seems a bit slow at first but really kicks it up as you continue playing the game. While it wasn't the most creative story ever I liked the slight inspiration it might have taken from games like Chrono Trigger. But the characters were the best part of it, the plot becoming more enjoyable because of their personalities. And even though it wasn't really a necessary mechanic to utilize, I liked that changing the difficulty of the game did more than just made the game harder, it had actual reasons to do it, like crafting materials, and at higher difficulties more exp. I also liked that characters had 2 different roles you could choose between even though I only used their primary weapon, and never touched the secondary weapon. I'd definitely recommend getting the patch from the website though, it adds an additional progression system that can be leveled with lewd actions but the game also gives you items to make that unnecessary. If you want this game for the nsfw content, that isn't the focus of this game with or without the patch. I actually enjoyed that, because I feel like a lot of games tend to force that and the story and gameplay gets annoying because of it, because they try to make everything part of the rpg exp grinding system. I find a lot of those systems annoyingly repetitive. I liked how it felt more like fanservice than the point of this game.

solid 8/10 had an actual story with a pretty decent twist. characters are well written and their interactions were really enjoyable. gameplay could use some polish. theres a good amount of depth (each character can equip 2 weapons that do different things, you can affix certain skills to certain actions), but the lower difficulties are quite easy. the harder difficulties however are very VERY challenging. be prepared to actually have to use items a lot. H scenes: a matter of personal preference, theres a good amount of interaction (i.e. gameplay that affects the scenes) for example the scissors paper stone games overall, one of the best H games i played so far.
