Sakura Dungeon

A surprisingly competent dungeon crawler buried underneath all the fan service and monster-girl charm. Building your party and exploring the grid-based maps is genuinely addictive, even if you’ll occasionally find yourself grinding levels just to survive. It's a fun ride, provided you can play it with a straight face when your parents walk by.

SAKURA DUNGEON: A CRITIQUE OF PURE DUNGEON, OR THE ONTOLOGY OF CAPTURE I thought Sakura Bunny Girls 2 had exhausted the explanatory power of philosophy. Then I awakened as Yomi, an ancient fox spirit, discovered that my dungeon had been appropriated during my absence, defeated an adventurer, compelled her into my service, and began descending through thirty floors of monster girls to reclaim sovereignty. At this point, reviewing Sakura Dungeon as a video game becomes intellectually irresponsible. This is not merely a dungeon crawler. It is a treatise on sovereignty disguised as a game in which critical hits remove women's clothing. Carl Schmitt argued that the sovereign is whoever decides the exception. Yomi wakes from centuries of imprisonment and immediately decides that the exception is everyone currently occupying her property. The ordinary RPG tells us to save the kingdom. Sakura Dungeon asks: What if the dungeon was the kingdom? Every corridor becomes constitutional space. Every locked door is a border dispute. Every boss encounter is regime change. I had expected breasts. I received Hobbes. What distinguishes Sakura Dungeon from much…

one of the great games

You should be able to use auto battle but also lose if you don't stop and use strategy....so far auto battle wins making it too easy. The suits don't get better and the images are limited - same flash clips, same poses etc. They are cute but variety of angle fall and exposure would keep things interesting. The battles and 'catching' your enemies is good stuff but each skill, magic, slash, poison etc. does not seem to make a difference. There should be definitive benefits to poison or magic or sword attacks based on the enemy etc. The lack of world exploration (limited to grid dungeon) lack of live shops (limited to image and text dialogue) and you can only change outfits for two characters etc... all feels a bit small. If it were a 1 megabyte game I'd be raving about all they did with that ... but with todays technology this game merely gets started and doesn't flush out its potential. Still fun to explore and laugh at a little mud butt in your face. The music is also nice and easy to listen to.

Unstable as a two legged table. Especially prone to crashing while trying to save.

This is a rather good dungeon crawler with some soft core porn added in that needs a sequel
