[Ecchi]Moero Chronicles

Posted by jikorde on

Or Genkai Tokki Moero Chronicle, the first entry in Compile Heart/Idea Factory’s monster girl rubbing series of what apparently were considered some of the lewdest games ever, according to reviewers at the time. This entry is a dungeon crawler where the rub mechanic is necessary to recruit girls and beat bosses.

This is kunoichi, a monster girl. Why is ninja a monster type?

Barely made it in time for Halloween… This game stretched on for a good while. This is a rare occasion of both cosplay = class change and monster girls, so it’s kind of a perfect month of cosplay game.

Before I start, I just want to mention my first attempt at this game had me quit at the end of the first dungeon. I got to the 4th and last floor, unsure if I should move on to the second area or not. I was tired of the encounter rate, the main character yelling in combat, and none of the girls designs had really hit me as good yet. I died to the loli on that floor and just gave up. Going back now, the next two monsters after the loli were a shortstack and the orc, both with designs I actually liked. Turns out if I had went maybe another ten minutes into the game I would have at least found one monster I liked.

Recent Ecchi Releases and Notable Future Titles

Posted by jikorde on

This is 100% about ecchi games. Right now the only h games I’m actively looking forward to are Rance 9, Apostle’s psuedo sequel, and SEQUEL kludge which is getting translated. Beyond those I don’t pay enough attention nor are things announced far enough in advance for me to really get hyped or talk about. As for VN’s, the Akatsuki no Goei fan thing is probably the biggest thing I’m looking forward to.

Anyway, ecchi stuff. A lot of recent releases and announcements have made me want to at least highlight a few standout titles if only so I don’t forget about them.

Senran x Neptunia– Really the biggest reason I wanted to do this post, the Senran x Neptunia crossover game came out. It is PS4 exclusive around the world and I just don’t get why. Let’s say PC sales are that bad that it’s not worth porting. Ok, but the Switch install base is worth more then the Sony one at this point, did none of their fans move over? Did Nintendo do something? Or is this some Tencent/Sony contract thing?

My ideal situation would be that the current release is similar to Labyrinth Life, where they edged everything off for the sake of getting on Sony and contract and intend to do the real version of the game next year for Switch and PC. It would make some sense at least to me, as I don’t think Sony’s every version needs to be the same cutdown thing extends to rereleases with expanded content. If it doesn’t get ported I’ll just likely never touch the game. What’s the point in Senran’s revival if it has none of the content that made the series what it is? There has been muttering thanks to the 10 year anniversary thing Marvelous put out that there might be more Senran coming, another point in favor of my theory but likely will be another mobile game designed for China or just another anime series.

Mary Skelter Finale– Released for Switch and PS4, with the PS4 version being just better. I’ll still play on Switch when I get around to it. They toned down some of the more over the top class designs, threw out purification(though one of the dlcs adds the pictures in, don’t know if you can rub them or not), and generally made it less lewd, not that Skelter had a lot of lewd in the first place. I think Skelter forms are still them basically naked though.

One of the free dlcs is a beach date with your final heroine, acting as the romantic catharsis and happy end to the whole series. So of course, bikini shot which means I’ll at least play it for that. The happy ending and bikinis. Stopping at two would feel weird.

Project Eve– Made by the dev team behind Destiny Child, considered one of the lewdest mobile games that got onto iPhone and the App store. Inspired by Bayonetta and Nier Automata, I’m sure based on that you can guess what kind of game this. Jiggle for ass and chest, multiple outfits and some actual next gen looking gameplay and graphics this looks amazing. So long as Sony doesn’t stomp their foot at something we can expect a solid game with an actual pretty girl releasing on probably the two power consoles and PC.

Bayonetta 3– The trailer from TGS didn’t evoke a lot of positivity from me with Bayo not losing any clothes at all in her animations. One of the big wigs had a tweet that does inspire some confidence that this will still be the fanservice sexy game it should be.

Demon Gaze Extra- A December release. Port of a Vita dungeon crawler that for some reason lacked a cg gallery despite having lewd cgs. No word on adding a gallery in, but making a gallery on PC would be way easier, but this is only on Switch and PS4. This is part of the reason I suspect PC releases are not turning very good profit for niche companies in Japan, as they seem to just skip out on that version more and more often.

Blue Reflection: Second Light– So I finally looked up the first game, and my god does it fit this site a lot. The sequel likely sanded a lot down because of current year but if some of the demo screenshots are any indication it’s still be worth a play for the girl’s butts at least, if a weird black void doesn’t come into existence within the next two weeks. Releases in the west in November and hopefully when it releases in Japan there’s some spark of fanservice in it. Its rating does not inspire confidence.

Konami also had a thing at the Tokyo Game Show that was bathing magical girls, but Konami doesn’t bring their fanservice stuff to the west. It turns out they actually have a decent number of them though. I feel like there should be more but I can’t think of much else. I just don;t know how to feel about the current state of 17+ gaming… 18+ is doing amazing though.

Happy cosplay/monster girl/class change/spooky month everyone! Complete honesty, I downloaded this like a day before October and on the third realized it was October and should be looking for monster girl or cosplay stuff. As for horror, not happening, I already played my horror game for the year. Next year maybe I’ll actually prep for sexy October.

Anyway, platformer with pixel monster girl sex. You play as Shota with sword and run and cut your way through 5 stages.

[Ecchi]Ar Nosurge ~Ode of an Unborn Star~

Posted by jikorde on

Ar Nosurge is the current final game in the Exa_Pico line of RPG’s, which is made up of Ar Tonelico 1-3 and the Nosurge games. I’m going to talk broadly about Ar Tonelico for a bit before getting into the review, since I am going to be referencing Ar Tonelico a decent amount. Note, this is going to be a long post, there’s a lot to talk about.

Ar Tonelico is a special set of RPG’s. Starting on the PS2 and ending on the PS3, they are some of the first RPG’s to insert entire visual novels into them, and I’m not talking about the little short social link kind of thing. They have entire side modes dedicated to just the relationship between the hero and the girl and both the good and bad sides of really the girl in general. From someone with some psychology interest, it’s actually really cool and there’s a lot to read into in each game about what everything means and how they chose to show different traits and issues someone can have, even things they would never admit to.

Then there’s the music, which has to be good since Song Magic is how combat works. Ar Tonelico is one of a small list of game’s I love the music from even though it sounds like nothing else I listen to. They created their own language and made some truly epic arrangements. It helps that the hymmnos play at very big plot moments which only adds to the grandness of them. So both in combat music is good and the big plot moments get some great stuff.

This is a friend skill, which all get full cutscenes. This is the only lewd one, and it’s kinda amazing.

Last of course is how adult some of it is. There’s the innuendos of course. The above bit of stuff about visual novels is part of a mechanic called diving, which is often likened to sex in world. It is necessary for Reivyateils(I think that’s the spelling) to have a partner dive into them to craft stronger song magic. It’s basically as intimate as sex and as important as therapy. The actual VN bits are called Cosmospheres, which is what I’m going to refer to Ar Nosurges as because Gemnimetrics is less cool sounding and harder to spell for some reason. They are not exactly the same thing, but the core concept is the same.

There’s other stuff to that is adult focused, though visually not incredibly adult. There’s a big cosplay focus, as along with song magic you unlock costumes for the Revyateils which boost there stats. It’s to me, a tasteful RPG series that is honest and doesn’t hide lewd stuff out of shame nor does it avoid talking about it. It’s an important part of relationships after all and the series would lose out if it hid all of it.

Finally there’s the talk topics and crafting storylines. Basically there’s a lot of side content that just has characters talk about things other then the imminent threat that more RPGs from that era needed. It gives the characters more time to show who they are and offers takes on events from the story from both sides without stopping the actual story scene to have everyone explain their thoughts, or offers really silly world building. Then there’s the extra’s menu, which for a PS2 set of games was better then most Vn’s. Music player, talk topics replayer, art gallery, the entire Cosmoshperes for replay, costume viewer(I think) and more. Of course it is also this series the killed my completionist side for like 7 years… but I’ll get into that when that game comes up.

Okay, so I played the Vita version of this game. It includes all the dlc, which includes more talk scenes with swimsuits, some extra costumes, an extra cosmosphere, and one that apparently adds jiggle to a character model. Beyond that, the only other version available in English, PS3, apparently still has some major bugs on it to this day, main of which is the costume menu is just broke which kills some rewards late game and a clear game bonus. At some point I will play that version if the more recent releases are not brought to the English market. Note that the Steam release is a no either way, as it has been censored do to demands by Steam. To many lewd loli’s.
