Big Red Hood: Halloween

So I finally took time to get to this game and several other games I'm trying to go through my backlog and I was initially quite interests in what the game might have after playing some fairly good smutty games, however, this one was quite the disappointment and was going to be merely lame, until I experienced the ending which just soured whatever the game had going for it. You play as a "Wizard-in-training" whose been to the army and such and is currently on the mission to bring pies for his Grandfather who lives deep in these woods that go all magical and especially on Halloween he barrier between the worlds is at it's thinnest and he encounters all kinds of beautiful young women, however, he can only defend himself with a single spell he had learnt when sneaking a few hidden moments reading his Grandfather's magical tome. Combat is done in a kind of "Bejewelled" kind of way where the arrow boxes of the same colour match, but unlike HuniePop which was a lot more straight forward, you have to follow the directions. First getting rid of X many blocks before the stripping begins, with the next following tasks by getting X number 3 at once, 4 at once and finally 5 at once. Then you…

A Halloween themed hentai matching game. The story could be better written...but it's there. I liked the art and the matching game has a twist. It is modestly priced (although I think I got this as part of a bundle,) and so I recommend it.

Heihachi better than gramps

Lovely Halloween ambiance, cute story, art and girls. (Couple nude pics as rewards, no animations or visible intercourse.) Soundtrack fitting to the theme, gameplay requires thinking in later levels, advised to save boosters for last 2 fights.

Basically a copy & paste from My Arrow Touney review: I really wish there was a "meh" option, that's where this would fit, since there is not, I don't recommend. The gameplay is repetitive and boring. I honestly skipped through all the reading as there was so much of it and I was only interested in this game for the puzzles. Also there is only about an hour of gameplay and there are two achievements for spending 2 hours and 3 hours in the game. I personally these kind of achievements are dumb, so I left the game running while watching Rifftrax. My thoughts, skip not worth the 1-3 hours; my play time is longer as I forgot that it was running. Ran on the Steam Deck without any issues, so that's a plus.

**NOTE: I accidentally left this running overnight, so the play time is skewed -- more like 3 to 4 hours. Is it REALLY easy? No. Is it REALLY hard? Only if you think TOO much about it. Honestly, I think those who negatively review this thought it would be easy breezy and while it is a little hard, it's not overly impossible. I would just "play" and let luck do the rest. There are a few places where you can manipulate things, but I found that playing in the idea that I'm going to be able to control everything is the wrong way to go about it. I found that just keeping the board clear as much as possible and taking moments only when I can easily manipulate them to be the best strategy. Also, there is a LOT of dialogue. You can skip it all, but the length of the "story" rather surprised me. It's not really bad, but you will probably find yourself getting board and skipping to the game content. Keeping all that in mind, it's a fairly quick way to 100.
