Kunugi's Life is a Mess!

[後半に日本語レビューあり] [h1] A Short Roguelite H-RPG of Metal-Bat Revenge [/h1] A homeless young woman seeking revenge against the person who ruined her life steps through a sudden "White Door" in this turn-based roguelite dungeon RPG. While the story is built around a fairly heavy revenge premise, its dialogue, facial expressions, and the sheer energy of swinging a bat around give it a distinctive tempo that keeps it from becoming purely grim. The core of the game lies in dungeon runs that begin from Lv.1 each time. Battles involve choosing skills, managing equipment, items, and condition, then aiming to reach the boss. HP recovery resources are not overly abundant, so decisions such as how to handle each enemy and which skills to develop have a meaningful impact. Reruns for money and equipment upgrades also exist, giving the game side a solid feel despite its short structure. The most eye-catching element is Kunugi herself. Her strong attitude, sharp tongue, and metal-bat stance leave a clear impression. At the same time, her many facial variations, past wounds, and the way she breaks down after defeat keep her from being just a rough heroine. The H content centers on defeat and gradual…

There being a "you win but somehow still lose" scenario puts me off of any game, but that being at the very start and in an adult game at that puts me off even more so. Tried giving it a bit more of a chance after that, but then it going into the story of the seemingly main guy of the story at the school with the teachers (trying to not give too much of the story away), I'm just no longer interested.

I really hate that the last achievement is locked behind a patch. Otherwise a serviceable game. In fact the non-patched is a bit more enjoyable since you are not slowed by ehem random events. Though Pep Talk seems to be OP broken in the non-patched version, being able to fully heal. Also patch installer not working under Proton 10, have to downgrade to Proton 9 to work.

Middle of the road H-Game. I think the idea is interesting enough. Kunugi wants revenge on people who have done her wrong. And you get to have this almost rogue-lite effect where gotta go through multiple areas till meet a boss and beat them to gain new artifacts that can keep on the run but you start at level 1 everytime you begin the boss run. It's fun for a bit but it gets boring half way. Then you HAVE to refight same bosses to unlock new ones. Which I was not a fan of at all. The story is fine. The H-scenes aren't super long and boring, which is a plus, btu also they don't try or do anything too new to make them fun and stand out and usually still pictures with 1-2 changes throughout. Again not bad, but not great. Just okay. A very LIGHT recommend.

Weirdest ♥♥♥♥ I've ever played, and I've played some weird ♥♥♥♥.

This is a good and challenging roguelite game where Kunugi had to enter doors to other dimension to exact revenge to the oldman who ruined her life. The battle is like normal JRPG but it's roguelite so you have to re-learn the skills at random every level up. The only buff you get is from equipment which you can get from buying or clearing dungeons. Scenes are pretty good although as usual it's defeat scenes only, but you can fully unlock it after you cleared the game. Overall a pretty fun game if you like challenging difficulty and cute girl.
