[Sure I guess it counts as Ecchi]Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon

Took a whole month, but I finished it. It was a treat, mostly. As with all the games in this series I’m mostly going to just free write this post with my opinions and thoughts on stuff. I’m not going to go spoiler heavy so don’t expect much on the cliffhanger, though there’s a lot of fun discussions to be had about that and how the next game is going to start. Cold Steel 1’s cliffhanger is bland compared to this one, though Cold Steel 3’s is similar. I like this one’s more though.

[Ecchi]Fantasista Asuka

qureate announced this like 2 years ago, I thought it was dead but then boom, it came out.

It’s a soccer sim with plenty of shirt off and cleavage shot fanservice. Focus seems to be one sporty and sweaty girls.

I’m going to stick with calling it soccer. It’s shorter then football.

[Ecchi]Epic Battle Fantasy 5

A flash series that had it’s last game turned into a Non-Flash buyable product released on Steam. No need to worry about backstory or world lore, this is a mostly standalone entry.

Natalie, the girl above, is the poster girl of fanservice for the whole series, though only 4 and 5 really do much other then have her jiggle. She’s the whole reason I decided this got into the ecchi game list, and I’m glad I played this. It was a satisfying turn based RPG.

[Ecchi…barely]Monster Prom: Second Term

Wasn’t ever sure if I wanted to do this game, but looking through my library for dating sims this is one of the best examples of the genre in the west. It’s still a jokey gimmicky setting, but it has all the mechanics and does something unique for the genre beyond a silly setting. It might be the best performing dating sim series in the west?

It got me to laugh a decent amount, I definitely don’t regret playing it.

It is the multiplayer dating sim. Pretty sure there isn’t any other unless you count speed-running.

[Ecchi…kinda]Scarlet City of Devils

Indie metroidvania game about a demon girl going around and… paying off her debt to some bath owner into saving the underworld. I guess.

This is one of those odd ecchi things. It has the aesthetic. Bikini armor fox girl demon lead, plenty of art of that bikini armor girl, a bathhouse plays a major role and most of the bosses go there after you beat them up and take baths. I just don’t think anything is actually all that pervy.

[Ecchi]Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak 2

1/10. How dare they put Rixia into the post final boss cutscene for like a minute and then not put her in the party for the postgame but give you Fei who also only shows up in that same cutscene.

Ahem. Daybreak 2 is a sequel to Daybreak, but not really to the Trails series. As in it does very little for the overall story, instead giving small character arc steps for the core cast in different ways. It also adds back in a bunch of missing stuff from Daybreak 1, like a card game. And plentiful ingame costumes.

Like the rest of the Trails series, just going to talk through some thoughts and general impressions. No full category talk stuff here.

[Ecchi… Not Really]Death end re;Quest 2

Sequel to Death end;Quest. Mostly similar in gameplay, though story style is more helpless children and far more occulty then the VR/real world mixing and cult stuff from 1. Has slightly less lewd stuff, or in other words barely any.

I have to rant a bit before getting to the rest of the game stuff. Every guide lies a bit. All of them. They list NG+ as being the only condition for the extra story stuff the game has. That stuff is NG+ True End only. If you take the final bad end, which also has a NG+ option, you set yourself up for an entire extra playthrough. That was dumb.
