StrongGirls FMG Visual Novel

Version: Reviewing v6.0 remastered/Chapter 6 remastered (zero differences except for updated sprites and art from chapter 1 to 4, and the lack of a cheat menu) Tags Explanation: 2dcg, ai, cg big ass big tits dating sim drugs exhibitionism fantasy humor lesbian male protagonist masturbation romance teasing transformation vaginal sex 2DCG, AI CG, dating sim, romance The art is entirely generated by AI image models with some tweaking done by hand. There is no 3D art to speak of. Dating for some reason is actually optional as there is a virgin route, but I don't recommend it as it is very barebones. Normal romance is present, nothing crazy that involves BDSM or the protag getting killed/injured. big ass, big tits, drugs, exhibitionism, fantasy, humor Proportions are debatable but yes big ass and tits are everywhere in this VN, only a few characters have no tits or ass. Drug usage is everywhere since the drug (referred as a serum) used to give fantasy levels of muscle growth is the main plot device. Some humor is here, also some drama as well. The protag is not an exhibitionist but the girls are to some extent. lesbian, male protagonist, masturbation, teasing, transformation A few scenes have lesbian sex in it, but it's not the main point of the game. Most of it is straight. Protag is fixed to be male and can't be changed. Girls do masturbate but it's not shown often, teasing is however and they do it a lot. Transformation only exists as a form of muscle growth, not anything absurd like an animal or anything of that sort. Story: Not the best part of this VN, especially the earlier chapters/episodes from 1 to 4. There are a few obvious grammar mistakes and typos that were not corrected, which is most visible in 1. Pacing is rushed as well. For instance, the protag has 3 dateable girls throwing themselves at him from the beginning in 1 without any clear reason minus a loosely implied familiarity that he has with the 3 girls. This is not explained or explored after chapter 1, possibly because the focus is to set up the plot and expand it in later chapters where necessary. Either way, don't expect much from the plot. Its main objective is to prioritize female muscle growth scenes and have somewhat believable/realistic events that lead up to it. This might be the reason why the pacing is off compared to later chapters starting from 5, but I could be mistaken as I'm just making assumptions. Still, the plot is acceptable but not very detailed. Harem route is non-existent. If you try it, the route leads to a game over, but you can break up with all 9 dateable girls without getting shoved into a game over. However, the requirement to break up with certain girls can be quite difficult to achieve as it's not clear what has to be done before it actually shows up as a choice. One girl for instance can be broken up with but has such a tight schedule that it's actually difficult to cheat on her, given that the game has a strict month-day-year time system as well as a relationship system. Can't elaborate much as I'm not trying to spoil it for those who didn't play it. Another thing I'd recommend is to not go through the virgin route, because 80% of the plot revolves around the 9 girls. If you do enter the virgin route though, expect it to be really, really boring as all you'll get are main story events. Chapters 5 and 6 have the pacing fixed and the writing is a lot better compared to 1 to 3, 4 is somewhat stuck in a middle ground. If you're looking for an excellent story, look elsewhere. All I can say is that it's definitely better than most I've played for this particular niche fetish though. If hentai is all you've watched, this is on par, just with a better story. Characters: The protag is always male and that means no futa for those who are interested. You can at least give him a name, standard fare for most VNs. He's not mute and from what the 3 girls say about him, it's implied he is a nerd-casanova fusion but I don't see that being repeated often by the other 6 dateable girls. One thing clear about him is he is written (not poorly, but boring) to be a guy with a fetish for muscular girls, which should be you. Nothing quite stands out apart from him being the average dude, so I can't say much about him. The 9 girls you get to date are luckily not cookie-cutter flat/passive personalities but are kind of stereotypical. They have properly written ulterior motives they don't show often, which is hinted by the narrator but you should be able to tell if you didn't skip the dialogue. I would say this is a good addition considering this VN is a dating simulator. Don't really like the fact that the protag is kind of bland though. Gameplay: Same old VN stuff, plus a lot of anti-frustration measures are present to make sure you can rollback from a mistake, not exactly the kind of thing you'd see in the average VN. For instance, you have checkpoints/forced autosaves that happen when you enter a certain route with any girl. You can go backwards in dialogue as well but I think this is standard. An inventory exists and can be accessed in any scene, but unfortunately it has a limit on how much you can carry. Which brings me back to the girls - you can buy gifts and give it to them, although you need to pay attention to their dialogue to know what they like. Can't think with your dick, sadly. And no, you can't give them gallons of semen as a gift. This VN leans towards realism, so there isn't anywhere in the story that you can do something like most protags do in a hentai. You can have sex though, just not the ones that are in public or in odd situations. I've mentioned before that this VN has a time and relationship system. To explain further - certain events are actually tied to a fixed date, so if you want to max the girls' relationship with you, you have to know which gift gives the best points. Screw this up past a certain date, and the girls that you have a low relationship rank will no longer be dateable/interactable in later chapters. This is intentional by design, meaning save edits will likely break something if you were to try to force it to happen. Overall, pretty in depth for what amounts to a fetish game... Art: The best part of this VN. Consistency is good and you won't see any obvious flaw on the sprites. The background art has a few strange choices but it's not something you'll be looking at all the time. The proportions on the girls are not odd looking, but at higher muscle mass stages, their bodies only look feminine because of their huge breasts. Wide hips and large thighs aren't really there so it might look masculine if you took the entire body frame into account. This is the only nitpick I have, otherwise, it's good. If you're into muscular girls with large pecs, I'm sorry to say there are none except for a side character that you unfortunately can't fuck. You won't be seeing chounyuu tier tits either, even one of the dateable girls makes a joke about having bigger tits but I doubt that will happen in later versions.

There's a decent amount of content in the game, and the chapter system makes it easy to access it all. The models are similar, but they're good, and the personalities all vary well. I also really like the premise with the the serum. I haven't seen it fleshed out to this degree in a long time. I also applaud how connected the world feels with various overlapping characters, I only wish they'd remember a little more.

Not a massive fan of AiCG games. However in this game I can look past that, considering the niche of FMG (Female Muscle Growth) games. The art is serviceable enough, even if it has a little bit of Ai wonk. The game itself, at the time of writing this has 3 paths that you have to choose from. One for each of the girls. I assume, looking at the teaser art we're going to get a 4th choice at some point (girl in wheelchair). The 3 current girls have their own unique personalities. One is a nerd, another one is shy and the last is a braggart. The writing is serviceable, not outstanding, but ill take what I can get in FMG games. Let's just hope this game can break the curse of unfinished muscle girl games. I think this game will be a solid 4 or 5 once finished, as there is a good foundation here. Quick side note: this game is locked behind a $20 (USD) paywall on itchi.io... I don't know what that's about lmao.
