Played multiple eroge games which are considered the best by some people.Well,most of them just suck.There are only two exceptions,kamidori alchemy meister and the rance series.Everything else seems to follow these steps for failure:
-Instead of focusing on one good gameplay style they mash multiple systems and styles together without any consideration how do these system work.Pro hint,if you see any rts eroge stay away from it.
Special mention goes to evenicle and its idiotic bp system which means you will barely be able to do more then 2 spells/abilities before spamming attack/wait.
-No focus on level design whatsoever,most levels are just set pieces.This is made even worse with stuff like bunny black and other dungeon crawlers which fail at creating a proper dungeon.
-Fusing eroge elements and gameplay is a mess most of the time.Stuff like monster quest (which has a somewhat interesting story) falls flat because the eroge stuff is too intertwined into the combat system.
-Some themes just ruin the game regardless of gameplay.
Now for a special mention about eushully,it is a trap.
Kamidori is a amazing game and ikusa megami zero is fine,but everything else is just terrible.Here is a great summary of modern eushully:
"
Soukoku no Arterial is alright, but its characters are generally shallow and stereotypical. With some well-done exceptions, though. Items break the gameplay at some point.
Madou Koukaku sounded great in theory, imo, but the execution failed. The worldmap is a railroad down 2.5 lines, no sandbox, and the combat is... pretty meh, even by lax standards.
The Ikusa Megami 1 remake... has flaws in its RPG elements, or the flaws are more apparent than in Verita. The leveling grind later on hurt, too. Story-wise, I'm still salty about saving or not saving Revia making no difference whatsoever, as well as the bromance end. That was plain insulting. Otherwise, I was glad they made it, and the cat burglar may have had quite a bit of potential. No Ecria, though.
Kami no Rhapsody was an utter trainwreck on all levels. Story, characters, RPG character progression, gameplay altogether, interface and, if you ask me, character art.
"The pirate game"... was fundamentally broken, gameplay-wise. 9-squads were utterly unsustainable and the right AoE abilities ridiculously overpowered. Characters were mostly extremely generic, or extremely one-dimensional in how they attempted to break out of it.
Amayui Castle Meister, spriritual successor to Kamidori, has utterly atrocious characters and an imbecilic plot. Gameplay is as often a step back from Kamidori's as it it is a step forward."
You can notice all these flaws not even after 2 hours in the games,with the added benefit of grind being a big problem for each eushully game.
Also eushully games have a weird hatred for aplocale emulator.Most of them refuse to unnistall/install with changing your locale settings.If you want to play eushully games just stick to kamidori meister and maybe castle meister.
Kamidori is fully translated and castle meister has a interface and prologue translation.
So in summary,stick to rance,and go for kamidori meister if you can stomach a large amount of grind.
