• Trillion: God of Destruction

    A while back I came to the realization that I really don’t like rogue-likes or dungeon crawlers. Then a few days ago, Idea Factory sent me a review copy of Trillion. Trillion is a game where you must kill a boss with a trillion hit points. There is a lot of Disgaea-like story within, but that last statement pretty much sums up the game’s premise. You are the Great Overlord of some netherworld who rules over the other overlords. Some giant creature comes through a gate and kills everyone by the thousands, devouring everything in sight. Your brother asks if he can go destroy this threat once and for all,…

  • Dungeon Travelers 2

    Dungeon crawlers and I have had a strange relationship. If you’ve seen previous reviews of mine, I have a special fondness for a game called Mazes of Fate that released on the Game Boy Color. It just gave you so much freedom to explore beyond just moving around in the dungeons. While Dungeon Travelers 2 does have random battles (I like when I can see the enemies on screen), it also has a fairly detailed story. Unfortunately that story, and the rest of the game, is blanketed with scantily clad girls. It’s a huge Japanese thing, and a part of me enjoys it to no end, but the rest of…

  • Lost Dimension

    Lost Dimension is very good for different reasons you might find in most SRPGs. For starters, the strategy is there, but it’s not exceptionally difficult. You just need to win in a timely fashion to get that S rank that earns you free gear (usually potions and shit). Your allies can die, but allowing them to fall in combat might alter their opinion of you. The main draw to the game is the Danganronpa aspect. The story has your characters, special individuals with unique powers, trapped in a tower that is believed to have been created by a psychopath that calls himself “The End”. When you get to a certain…

  • Monster Monpiece

    I was apprehensive to pick up this title at first. It looked like a good card/strategy game, but it is clearly over-sexualized with the girl-rubbing mechanic. Unfortunately, it is needed in order to level up your monster girls. I’m going to get the rubbing mechanics out of the way as it is really the only glaring flaw to the game. When you rub or tap a monster girl (something you have to pay to do) in the right places, they react with noises and blushing animations. If you manage to please them enough in the given time, the card levels up…and the girls take some of their clothes off. The…
