Both of the conception games are bad in somewhat enjoyable ways but even the ability to crawl with my beautiful wife Serina cannot make up for how unlikable I found the protagonist, solely based on his design compared to the literal who schoolboy from the first game. Chlotz as the protag would've bumped this to an easy 4/5. Fuck you Wake
This game is Persona if it took away all of the depth and just left a hollow shell. Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars intrigued me. Atlus? I'm in. Turn based? Sweet! JRPG? Right up my alley. WOMEN?? Sure!
Then I hit start. I knew right from the beginning, without knowing prior reviews, that this was going to be a weird experience. The dialogue and plot was just a generic anime plot, and while I know its a handheld limited game, having no actual overworld hub, and instead just a menu, was disheartening.
The shojo over-the-top power ups were fun in a fanservice-y kinda way, but other than that the game just doesn't do much for me. I completed three of the eight labyrinths, and they are seriously just straight lines. The combat wasn't deep at all, often leading to me watching YouTube just mashing A through all the grindy sections. Every hallway was just that. A straight hall with twists, no turns, and nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe if I gave this game a better shot I'd enjoy it more, but with how the mechanics of conception itself and everything is, I don't see how more hours would change my mind.
I rate Conception II a 3/10.

Is there something lower than half a star?
I'm going to start by trying to find something nice to say about this game: The combat wasn't terrible. It was kinda fun? Revolved around...Not-boinking the female protagonists to give you Not-Kids who are RNG based...Annnd now I'm back to wondering if I can give this less than half a star again.
Stupidly horny game. Paper thin characters. And on top of that, your character is the most special-est and amazing-est person EVAH. Like naming your character? This game lets you do that, and immediately never uses it in place of calling you 'GG'. ...Which stands for 'God's Gift'. ...As in God's Gift to Mankind because your ji-...SOUL power is so...potent.
............There's power fantasy, and then there's THIS crap. Run away. Run faaaaar away....

this games premise is so incredibly horny and stupid so i streamed it to friends for fun, but its so goddamn boring. not even a 'so bad its good' kind of game
gets 2 stars because its not unplayable, the visuals and characters are pretty if you're into the anime artstyle and the battle music kinda bangs tbh. would've gotten 5 stars if i could make magic anime babies with the blond twink rival guy

One of the weirdest JRPGs I've played. It doesn't even attempt to really hide what it is, which makes it kind of hilarious in a way. The cast isn't too bad though so the story can be kind of fun just from that.
Its a bit of a dating sim mixed with an RPG so its definitely focused on your interactions with the girls.
Gameplay wise its nothing too crazy, it's a turn based dungeon crawler. The most enjoyable part of the game is being able to experiment with core mechanics of the game to make an interesting team.
