Tales of the Bizarre: BLACKOUT

I like what the dev tried to do, but they don't have the skills to pull it off. Art is awkward and looks even worse with their attempts at live2d animation. Gameplay is mid. Combat grind is optional. (set difficulty to easy to skip trash mobs, setdifficulty to hard if you want legit defeat scenes). You can also level up starts outside of combat by doing school and town activities. Porn grind is not optional. You have to repeatedly, manually, trigger the same H scenes over and over again, to raise your H stats, to unlock more porn. Translation is awkward MTL. I usually understand the characters but pronouns are mixed up. Some sentences are jumbled. The idea of the game is unoriginal but fine. The execution is poor.

- The poor art has a weird charm to it and I think the girls look cute, but it's still wacky art - You either get static h-scenes with that wacky art or battlesex with same wacky art a n d wacky Live2D animations - Story has some potential ideas but overall very shallow - Grindly turn-based RPGM combat - Clothes changing does feel decent but overall wouldn't recommend
