Golden Month Week 2: There’s a Mutiny in my Pants! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
This week I focused on err… “plot-driven”, “thought-provoking”, “adult-oriented” visual-novels because you can’t have an anime-themed gaming marathon without some spicy stuff =P
This game sure was something else and I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. Before anyone gives me weird looks let me tell you that I’m not into futa animal-like girls but everything else was good enough for me to overlook that detail. On one hand it felt refreshing to have a main character who wasn’t a prude like many other VN protagonist, let alone be a woman who actually likes sex quite a bit, on the other I found all the characters to be quite likeable to the point I didn’t mind how barebones the main story was. I would be a bit hard pressed to choose a best girl (I’m torn between Elizabeth Margaret and Lara) but Alcina is definitely the cutest one (sorry doggo girl).
I found the puzzles fairly easy and the boat ships became a tad too random to me in the later stages of the game, but what bothered me to no end is that some routes can only be followed if you buy their respective DLCs (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻
All in all it was a fun game, and I’d have tried to to fully complete it if all routes were available.
Sakura Spirit
2.7 hours, no achievements

This was more like a kinetic novel rather than a visual novel since there were only one choice and it was pretty much irrelevant. This VN in general was really mediocre. I wouldn’t be surprised if they only wanted to make a game with as many ecchi situations as possible without going full R18 and considered the story an afterthought.
Don’t let curiosity get the best of you and avoid it like a plague. It’s not worth the 2~3 hours it lasts nor its price.
If there was something that was worse than Sakura Spirits it was this one. The main character was annoying, the plot was barely there (the “plot” was more prominent tho =P) and the music was so terrible I had to turn it off because it was driving me crazy. Not even the art was good. I mean, the characters were well-designed but the backgrounds were done in such a different style they stuck out like a sore thumb. The only “positive” thing this game had is you can get all the achievements in about 40 minutes.
wait sakura spirit had a choice… hmm i dont remember that which just proves unlike angel it doesnt lead to anything. those sakura games though are a mix bag, some are 18+ some aren’t. Plus i got fantasy but they never bothered to chapter 2 so I’m wondering if i play that will I be left with a deadend
I doubt I’ll try any other Sakura game in a long time, Sakura Spirit was dull enough to make me want to avoid them xD (except Sakura Clicker, that shit is addictive). Based on some reviews I read about Sakura Fantasy it doesn’t have a conclusive ending, so I guess it’ll better to stay away from it untilt here are news of a second chapter being made.
but its officially dropped so i will never have second chapter. What was wrong with fantasy they just gave up, that one actually has sex scenes how could the people not want it.
Oh apparently they believe fantasy is one of their best yet just sold badly, sad days for me when i read it and like step sisters i want a real endings even if it sucks
because you can’t have an anime-themed gaming marathon without some spicy stuff =P
Actually you can…take a look at my Attack Plan and/or games played this month. :D
I know, I was being silly when I wrote that =P It was the first thing that popped in my mind when I was thinking on what to put there
Ha! Get all those spicy games out of the way.
I’m glad to read your review of Mutiny—I ended up getting it when it was like .99 cents in anticipation of it getting struck from the store, just for the hell of it, but I kind of regretted it afterward bc it seemed a little trashy and I’m not jazzed about the futa angle re fetishizing trans women. How did it do on that front?
To be fair the characters are developed enough to be more than “that one girl the MC wants to bone” but they are still fetishized quite a bit (zoom to their prominent bulge when they get introduced included)
://////////////////////////// hrmhmrmhmrmhmrmhmmmrmhmrmhmrmhm ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
WELP at least I’m braced for when I play it, whenever that will be!
aaaaaaaaaaah now I remember why I haven’t activated Mutiny from my bundle… DLC routes!!! unacceptable, just as early access visual novels
I wish I knew that when I bought it back when it was sold for 1€ due to the whole protest about Steam banning lewd games. It was really frustrating to see an “Only available on DLC” message when I tried to select some characters as First Mate. The worst part is there are some achievements that are unavailable unless you get those DLCs.
