Echoes of the Town

Very good game, the art is quite good. The story is quite entertaining, especially for an H game, it left me wanting more. it has a good combat system and the H scenes are well done.

Positive: It is not AI slop, which in this scene is rare. There are plenty of weapons, spells etc to play with - it seems like you can go anyway you want with it even on hard. I like the loop and the story is not deep or anything...but it is a story. I overall liked it. Negative: I started on Hard difficulty and was going for the pure run (virgin etc.) The game is not hard at all...the buffs are OP - can get double exp..double money etc...so old school rpg exp/gold farming. There is also no pure run, not really sure why the option is even there.....doesn't seem to matter much at all.... you also are forced into scenes with other characters..so the pure run is not possible unless you skip story scenes and outfit unlocks? idk that would just be a pain to work out..

Story is different w/ a NEW GAME PLUS mechanic, worthy of voice acting!

Gameplay loop gets a little stale. Quests aren't as forthcoming with information as one would hope, sometimes you get all the info you need to finish a quest, other times you're running around town trying to figure out what quest, day or event you need in order to progress the quest you're actually on. H-scenes could use a few more frames, and despite the developer posting in discussions that they're working on uncensored scenes, half are still mosaic/censored. Do yourself a favor and use a save editor to add money when you start the game otherwise you're going to be dumping a lot more hours into this game than is actually necessary. With the extra funds you can just buy all the cutscenes at the mall and save yourself a lot of time and frustration. Wish I could give it a "meh" review, mainly for the price versus content you get. I'd say pick it up if it goes on sale otherwise you might consider a different game unless you're really into the prostitution aspect which was really the only thing that drew me to this title.

Higher quality and longer than other games of its class
