This game was infinitely more queer and horny than I was expecting - 5 stars
2019
Enjoying this well enough to play with my kids - I think some aspects of the game aren't well telegraphed enough for a kids game though. Definitely some frustrating elements, but it's a well made and sharp Nintendo game, so w/e, it's Halloween time
p fun, nice to have something like this on deck
Unbelievable

I'm liking this so far, but matchmaking isn't super hot right now and the perk system makes that imbalance extra shitty. It's FTP though so can't complain, especially in beta.
Gameplay feels tight and responsive, characters are very unique, and attack decay is the best thing I've seen added to a fighting game - not sure if it exists elsewhere as I'm not big on the genre
It feels easy enough to grind the in-game coins for all of the character unlocks. Money is all cosmetic except for the battle pass (which only contains gold and cosmetics). I got the battle pass for shits because it's $3.
I can tell this is a game that won't take long to force out casual players due to the skill ceiling involved, especially in 2v2. Hoping once ranked unlocks that that is mitigated.
It feels like the developers are putting actual care into this game, so I'll keep it on deck for awhile.

The best part of this kind of game is that you can commit very little time to it here and there if you want to keep things progressing before BED TIME when you get to throw 2-3 hours in.

I knew absolutely nothing about this game going into it, other than it was a brainpunk visual novel. I'm glad I did because the tone of the game/ANIME-ASS SHIT the refuses not to be horny or make dad-jokes about how japanese pronunciations of certain words sound like different things.
__
I tend to go as hard as I can on speech-related character options in the RPG's that allow for it, so I've found that this "lower level of interaction" in visual novels is not dissimilar to how I engage with games that give me the choice to play them that way.
__
Something is wrong with my brain because I saw this on game pass and said "nice, i can try one of these newer more interesting visual novels for free" - then a few months later after never playing it, I saw that it was $9 on switch. Knowing how much better of an experience this kind of game is for me on switch, I just went for it.
__
About 6 hours in the same problematic part of my brain got 13 Sentinels overnighted to my house. I didn't choose to expedite the shipping that way, but I needed more of this kind of game in my life.

Didn't even realize a sequel just came out.

Once I hit a point that I had to sneak past security drones I was done. This game handles really well and feels great in the first few hours, but very quickly devolves into a pretty flat story and that should be driving my repetitive "turn the power on" bs over and over - but it just gets more boring.
Edit: A next-gen patch dropped so I'll just finish it now that the 30fps won't make me barf in my helmet.

Started the demo - kinda interested kinda not? Need to give it some time and pass the opening threshold

i think people didn't like this one but i really did. Always a DMC fan until 5 which I think I just need to start over
Originally played the series as they came out on Playstation. Worth a replay with the update.

Never fully played through this game, only A and B

Gave it a shot but I just can't do it after Death's Door and Link's Awakening.
Can't do it. Didn't catch me at the right time, but oh well.
