You ever have a feeling that when you buy a game cheap you expect cheap. Well this is one of the games that should be cheaper.

Story line

The main protagonist, Sakura, is trying to save money to survive and to make sure she doesn’t get kicked out of home. So she needs 15,000 yen for electricity. Days later she needs an additional 50,000 for rent. She starts off working at a bakery and then gets a job at a convenience store. She gets manhandled at both of these jobs. She also gets sexually assaulted. She eventually gets “noticed” by a tittie bar and decides to work there. Still needing more money, she realises that she can start to charge 10,000 yen a pop for sex, instead of being assaulted, at which point she starts to dwindle into promiscuity.

The Good

• The graphics are really nice
• Costumes look good and they allow you to activate certain scenes depending on what is worn
• Free roam and plenty of choices that split off the story into different directions.
• The main game play is as a top-down play style and when conversations occur it then shows proper cartoon images

The Bad

• Japanese voicing in key sentences especially during seduction scenes
• Japanese moaning
• No English translations in some dialogues and some menus
• The music is very forgettable
• Beware of the toilets!!

The Ugly

• The English translations are atrocious as it appears that they are doing a word-for-word translation rather than a sentence-by-sentence translations. It emphasises the fact that the Chinese have bad English. I would be very glad to do the translations for them.
• True → Ture
• Start → Satrt
• Breasts → Bubbles or Bubbies
• Trigger words: Rape

Bottom line

The steam version is censored but you can search the net to find the uncensored version

This is a good game if you don’t like doing a lot of reading. There are some good points and a lot of bad points.

So today, I have been playing Knights of Pen and Paper +1 and I find it to be a very enjoyable game.
(FYI, Not feeling up to formally reviewing it as I only have played about an hour worth and not gotten further than Default village)

Anyway, I found it to be enjoyable and the fact I have to think about what I need and what to do has been refreshing.I also like the pixel style of game play and a few of the pop culture references used in the formula of the actual gameplay itself, Ramona Flowers anyone~

 I also found some of the game lines quite humourous and in sync to what I am like as an RPG player, well more on the whole picking on the fact that a child has me searching for his grandfather and is all like "how'd the hell do I find him when I never met the bastard" but yea, we get the picture.
It's a fun game which is funny and can be quite addictive.
Anyway, I shall cease rambling about what I have decided to play, as a way to make my blog seem minorly active and resume playing and reviewing games between studying and dealing with family.
