evollove 10 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'm looking for something a bit more time-consuming to read/play, I'm running out of VNs to read at the rate I'm going, and I don't want to be lacking for stuff to read in between translation releases. I just finished Berio's route in Duel Savior and I'm looking for some similar stuff. I'm looking at Kamidori, Daibanchou and Sengoku Rance, but I might get frustrated at the AliceSoft ones since you can't easily collect all the CGs (yeah it's my OCD) and Sengoku Rance is unvoiced. Tears to Tiara doesn't look too bad and so is Eien no Aselia, but then Eien no Aselia doesn't have H... Any other recommendations on VNs with gameplay? I've done Utawarerumono (took me a month playing it on and off), Princess Waltz (don't really consider it gameplay, Angela's first fight is the only one that gave me trouble, mostly from the lack of understanding of rules than anything else), and Koihime Musou (the most sleep-inducing). Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OneManArmy 82 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Kamidori - Its gameplay is so awesome that you'll play it at least for 70 hours. The story is rather dumb but who cares? PLAY. THIS. GAME. Sengoku Rance - Rance doesn't need a voice. Story is hilarious and the strategy part is fun as well so go for it. Tears to Tiara - Pretty decent game with too many h's. Story had its moments but I wouldn't call it great. You can try it but don't expect too much. Eien no Aselia - I personally disliked the gameplay so much that I dropped this game but you may like it. I heard that the story's a good one. Daibanchou - Can't say anything about this title because I didn't play it. I'm looking for something a bit more time-consuming to read/play, I might get frustrated at the AliceSoft ones since you can't easily collect all the CGs Lol, but don't you want something time consuming? =P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ditte 10 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Do mahjong game counts? I've only played Conbokujan thought. Saki, Akagi, Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku and other mahjong mangas make me want to learn mahjong in "fun" way.... Never mind, omit the quotation marks. Well, it's a 1v1 mahjong game for the story gameplay. Every time you win a game, you will get experience points. Dunno what for. Can't understand the kanjis. And then... you have skills too. You can use skill to determine what tiles you will get at the beginning. There are something like skills point or mana, so you can't use the skills continuously. You can also use the skill from the girls you have defeated. There are 16 girls. There is also a free battle mode where you can play the 4 people game normally, no skills.

GAME. Agreed on that one. #1 VN to play for gameplay, besides Sengoku Rance. It's actually really good and it's tempting to continue with it for me aswell (never finished it).

desi 53 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 You can check out Eien no Aselia later if you wish. Even if the version that is translated doesn't have H-scenes, the version that was translated is superior because it added two routes, has improved cg, etc. The sequel which will be released by Jast sometime next year (hopefully) has h-scenes... so you can make a huge sacrifice and play without h-scenes.

evollove 10 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) I was also looking forward to Yumina. How long has it been since I keep seeing "All game data translated. Testing.", release "Maybe this year" in VNTLS? I really hope JAST could release this soon. Edited October 16, 2012 by evollove Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I highly doubt it will be released this year just by going by some of the stuff they've said over their twitter account. Probably early next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aynil 12 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Daibanchou has a really fun gameplay, the story is ok, the routes are pretty much the same thing (the only thing different is the ending and that each heroin has 9~10 H CGs) there are 6 heroins, like sengoku rance it takes a while to get the hang of it, but gets easy after you get it, the protag is a nice guy I guess, there is at least 1 H scene for almost every girl in the game, sometimes it gets annoying to clear some characters.

Avenger 11 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 You guys are forgetting the #1 in gameplay eroges: Monster Girl Quest Aside from those already mentioned, there's also: Pretty Soldier Wars A.D. 2048 (though I wouldn't recommend it) Violated Hero -I Wanted to Chivalrously Save the World- Lightning Warrior Raidy That's all I can think of atm. Look at vndb for more though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pandorasplea 10 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Yeah my favorite vn's are those with good gameplay since as much as i like good stories if I want to play a game I want something more than text and pictures otherwise I would just read fanfiction and let my imagination do the rest. Speaking of vn's with gameplay I may be wrong but didn't a new game come out from manga gamer with a card battle system. When will it appear available to download? I think I saw it on a previous update list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Evolver 10 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 If you want to put gameplay first and are interested in dabbling in some old school eroge, like, REALLY old school there's always Mad-Paradox and Knights of Xentar / Dragon Knight III. Up for a vertical shooter that plays like a slightly erotic version of Fantastic Night Dreams Cotton? Then how about the often forgotten Magic Polalamin? Of course there's also Sentimental Shooting.

I never completed it myself but I did get pretty far a couple years ago. The trick was not to play ANYTHING else at the same time as to better adjust to the screwy resolution.

takayuki 10 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 A little late but Men at Work 2! revolves around a decent old-school JRPG system. It's a pretty old-school feeling game but decently amusing. I believe Castle Fantasia Renewal 2 has a similar system but I have not personally tried that one yet.
