So I grabbed all the more VN then gameplay stuff from the defunct Misc. Other page and put them here. All of these have very different gameplay but very little total or its completely optional.
Boob Wars: Big Breasts vs Flat Chests I II Store
-Story is stupid, and kind of dark in places. Combat is luck based card system that gets in the way. Sex scenes are acceptable with, some having animations, but not very well written or erotic. Save contains all scenes unlocked and free play mode available.
Fate/Hollow Ataraxia I II
The fandisc to Fate/Stay Night. For the purpose of this blog I’m more interested in the mini games, but here’s my quick review: For a fandisc its good. Has route continuations and some nice scenes that fans of the original game would appreciate. The games though… There’s two. Ilya’s Castle which is a click based thing. Each level has a different theme and it can be funny the first time. Annoying to play to clear since you need around 15 random items to get one cg. Basically its not really fun. Then there’s hanafuda. It’s hanafuda with special moves depending on who you play as. You need to win like 60 or so games to get all the cgs. It’s annoying, but the little story sections are silly and did make me laugh a few times. Still bad(for me at least). Save contains all cg’s unlocked. Which means everything is done.
Koihime Musou ~A Heart-Throbbing, Maidenly Romance of the Three Kingdoms~ Save Store
-Rock paper scissors combat with little depth, and an alright story that exists solely to give a reason for 20-30 characters to fall for the same guy. Good scenes in my opinion, varied, long and good voice acting. Save has all scenes/cgs unlocked and allows skipping battles.
Really? Really! I II Store
A fandisc to Shuffle, a fairly old visual novel. It’s specifically a fandisc to Kaede, the childhood friend character but due to how the game works it’s more of a bunch of short set of what ifs with other girls(complete with porn) and short stories. It’s decently long for a fandisc. H is vanilla stuff only. Gameplay is a play on the testimony part of Phoenix Wright where you hunt around for clues and use those at specific lines of special dialogue to basically correct what is happening. Save is 100% complete, with access to all cgs, scenes and memories which are Kaede’s side of the game’s events.
YU-NO- The Girl that Chants Love at the Edge of the World I II
This is considered a classic of vns, and I have to agree with that statement. For the most part the game is a point and click with elements of… lets call it time travel. The protagonist is written very amusingly and overall the story is gripping. If you can get over the old art and deal with the interface, this should be something any vn fan plays, it really shows that porn games can tell amazing stories. Porn is decent and mostly medium length, great for the time though. Contains some ntr elements. Game also has patches to add in voices, though the porn is unvoiced. You play as a student with a recently deceased father, who was a history researcher. He leaves you some odd items that lead you on a quest searching through a parallel world. That’s all I can really say without spoiling anything. Save contains all main menu items unlocked(short stories, music/cg mode) and three in game saves. Each gives easy access to different h scenes and character endings. Read the included note to understand how to get to the porn/ending.
I have some of these but they were forgotten in a folder. Thank you for the great reviews, they spiked up my interest again!
Your welcome!
Do you have a save to the Tick! Tack! fandisc to Shuffle ? I missed a few of the scenes and man, the whole clock mechanic was annoying.
Never played it, sorry. Really Really I played cause it was Phoneix Wright ish, but Tick Tack just looks like a VN with a balance mechanic. I focus on games so I’ve never bothered.
