Magical Girl Astericus: Escape from the Prison Corridor

horrible letdown. if you want to play an actual rpg/puzzle solving type game then go for it otherwise if you want h-content, just do the first 5 mins then unlock all the galleries. not enjoyable at all and i wish these creators would focus more on making a good game than implementing all kind of nonsensical stuff trying to make sense of a little girl gaining powers

High quality, but boring. It's much more of an adventure game than an RPG. Basically you have to get past enemies that you can't win against without first finding a weakness and an item to exploit that weakness. You find these through very simple puzzle "passwords" the game goes as far as to directly give you the answer to. After beating the enemies blocking your way, you progress to the next area so on and so forth until you finish the game 2h later. Pros: High quality assets, animation, translation. Decent porn/time ratio (12 enemies with 3 scene variations and 1 capture in battle animation each), Fully animated, from standing picture to scenes to battle. Has some interesting ideas when it comes to in world game-play and puzzles. Some limited voice work. Cons: Way too easy, from puzzles to battles. Even though the animation quality is great, variations are minimal.

A short, but decent game, although it is more a scene collector than a game where you can choose. The art is good and the animations are as well, plus I quite like the setting. The combat however is extremely basic as you either lose no matter what or you go into one room/buy one item so that you can easily beat the opponents. In other words the combat is mostly there for you to lose and get a defeat scene. There is however a scene unlocker in the game where you can just unlock all the defeat scenes and see the in combat restraints so you can skip most of the combat. All in all, something decent to waste an hour or two, but if you just want to see the art/bondage just unlock the gallery.

Well, that was a disappointment. The game's combat is literally just watered down Pokémon, A beats B, B beats C, C beats A, etc. Most of the items are bought from the mysteriously helpful merchant. You only have two spells and one combat spell which you only use a few times for progression. There's no actual combat in the sense that if you don't select exactly the right weapon, you lose. Don't let the smooth animations fool you — every animation is a boring, very short loop. Every enemy does exactly the same thing: they shred your clothes, then they try to restrain you. Once restrained, they do some form of breast play, which barely varies between enemies, which deals 50 ero damage. Then they fuck you, dealing another 50 ero damage. Then you go to defeat scene. If you get restrained, it's an instant game over with a progressive defeat scene, which just sucks. In a later level you'll encounter enemies and invisible traps which will instantly restrain you, leading to a lot of frustration and reloading. There's also no consequences to losing at all, because they went with the dumb "it was all a dream" thing, meaning there is no corruption, no H-stats, nothing. It's a glorified scene collector with a nice coat of paint. Because the recollection room, which can be accessed after the first "puzzle", has a button to unlock everything, there is literally no point in actually playing this. Edit: Forgot to mention — lots of re-used assets from their earlier games. Technically, they take place in the same world, so "it makes sense", but that feels more like an excuse to be lazy in my opinion.

A a decent short game with my playthrough being about 4 hours. Art: 4/5 Its all kinetic live 2d animations which is a plus that are generally well done. Game Play: 2/5 Pretty boring the puzzles are brain dead, and the combat is just choosing the right option for the enemy. The story and progression are also linear. H-Scenes: 3/5 Honestly they are just too short, and lacking in variety. However they are very well done elsewise. The main issue is you have to lose to a enemy 3 times to unlock the entier scene instead of it just being one single full scene.
