The game offers a lot of choice in respect to how individual players wish to play. The main focus of the game is entering the tower and destroying its denizens, collecting treasure and monster eggs to hatch into familiars. Each monster has hidden spells, unique traits, and abilities. Koh can also improve the town, along with decorating his home.

i love games with a giant tower in a pleasant town and you periodically explore the tower and come back to town to recover. and this game even has women!!!!!!!!!!
This was a fun, early-ish rogue-like with catchable monsters. Most of the characters are extremely annoying to interact with, including the women you are supposed to romance. Building up the town is a fun side quest but ultimately the mini-games they gives access to are simple to enjoy more than a couple times.
This is that one "3 stages of a real mf, struggle, grind, shine" meme turned into a game. At the beginning everyone thinks you're just a dumb kid at best, a pest at worst, but then you start busting your ass to make tons of money, buying expensive stuff, giving your mom a mansion, donating to renovate the shanty town, and suddenly everyone loves you (especially the girls).
The only reason not to play it is if you don't like mystery dungeon/roguelike (with metaprogression) gameplay.

Humiliation of men: The Game
This is not an objective review. This is one of my favorite games for the PS1. And yet I've never beaten it.
Another reviewer, Rensie, accurately remarks that the game "oozes coziness and style" and that the worldbuilding for just one town and a tower is robust and thoughtful. The story and the characters are fun and diverse in as much as a 90s Japanese game can be. And thanks to the menagerie of monsters you can collect along with the procedurally generated, though simplistic, levels this game never really gets old. It can be punishing, but all the effort you put into it really pays off as you see your community prosper because of you.
