Review:
Unlike the previous title I reviewed by PinkPeach, while not perfect, this one has more redeeming qualities that make it much easier to recommend.
The protagonist is a female knight that accompanies a male character that one night was surprised to find a a mysterious sorceress tempting and making him an object of lust for his surroundings.
You explore large biomes with plenty of enemies and treasures. The game tells you where the objectives are on the map.
In-between objectives (or bosses) you'll find minibosses that can be captured and put back in the hub cells for "training". You can use them to gain buffs, or sell them for money.
The gameplay works as follows - you control 3 different styles:
Spear - Long melee reach, dash attack, Spear barrage spell.
Sword - Short melee reach but higher damage, quick dash on cooldown, strong slash flurry skill.
Orbs - Weaker ranged attack, floats when falling, strong beam spell that roots the player.
The most surprising part here is how deep they went with the mechanics by adding a skill tree and TONS of equipment options.
All of the skills are passive upgrades to your stats or to your active abilities.
You'll also often find yourself swapping gear for better one, and even with a number of large inventory pages, you'll STILL end up with no space. Yeah, there's a lot of loot spam in this one.
The hitbox are kinda weird here as well, as all of PinkPeach's titles, but with so much exploration and other progression constantly thrown at you, the jankiness can be overlooked.
The studio excels at H content as always, which is another reason to recommend to entertaining title, in case your focus is more on that aspect.
Sadly there is no gallery mode for overworld models when the male character interacts with the minibosses.
