I won't bother adding (most) VNs to this account because there's an ultimately better website to list those. So just use my list there if you care enough about my thoughts on mongolian erotic novellas or you are a federal agent who's collecting my digital footprint: https://vndb.org/u177843 (I only added Muv-Luv here because I felt like it OK?)
You're probably visitng this page because you didn't like my rating for some of the normie yoba game you liked and are looking into how bad of a guy I am. Hello there.

Cool box art and soundtrack are kinda all this game has going for it. The level design is fundamentally broken, with almost every threat being an unpredictable "gotcha" aimed at making you memorize the stages by heart instead of actually enjoying the game. Arrange mode is just a bandaid on a fundamental level design issue and doesn't help much, I still won't call it a fair challenge.
At least it was saved from emulation hell by getting a PS1 port, since this system is way easier to emulate.

FILLER EPISODE
AKA SKIP THIS ONE
Do you love fetch quests? You should if you want to enjoy the blood pumping, semen boiling action of walking around the same locations over and over again, telling kids to go back home for dinner and collecting junk to later give it away for experience and some money.
The gameplay loop never really changes or meaningfully evolves, you are experiencing the same fetch quest "how else can we make this game longer?" type of design philosophy for 10 hours and then the game ends. The story, what little of it is there, can be summarized in a single sentence, and the character writing never really becomes engaging or goes beyond your average fantasy archetypes. If the goal of the game was to hype up the main event, Curse of the Moon-style minimalist adventure would have done fine, and delivered a way more fun burst of experience than this slog.
From what I've heard about the main gamae, Rising is ultimately irrelevent as the main cast plays only a minor role there. Find a better way to spend these 10 hours: play Rance 01.
