To the Wives Who Were Heroes

[後半に日本語レビューあり] [h1]Married Heroines Reunite in a Love-or-Lust Dungeon RPG[/h1] A man foresees the Demon Lord's return and reunites the women heroes who fought beside him ten years ago. They are now married women with lives of their own: widowed, newlywed, raising children, or living apart from their husbands. To regain their lost power, they must choose either a Love Ritual or a Lust Ritual each night. It is a striking premise that brings mature affection and transgressive choices into a former heroic tale. Exploration takes place in first-person, grid-based dungeons. Auto-exploration and auto-battle keep things moving, while progression gives you plenty to consider: equipment can carry up to six effects, class changes alter both abilities and outfits, and Spirit Summon adds another layer to character builds. Selectable difficulty makes it easy to prioritize the story and adult scenes or pursue hidden content. Each night's choice directly affects the party's strength the next day, and comparing each floor's loot while planning the next class change or summon remains satisfying without excessive repetition. The six heroines differ in their circumstances and personalities, and thei…

The art style is fine to good, the voice acting was alright, the story for what I got up to was a little contrived, and the combat(if indicative of what it will continue to be) was awful. The main problem, aside from not being terribly engaging and being quite expensive, is having to swap to Japanese locale in order to play this game. This isn't an old game, it originally came out, from what I can gather, September 2025 so I am not seeing how it is acceptable. If the locale problem is resolved I'll consider revisting but refunding for now.

Unfortunately this game is excessively buggy and not worth the pricing. I had to switch my locale to Japanese just to see the menu and when I changed the language to English it got stuck into a permanent crash loop where now it only blue screens with parameters that the computer is failing to generate. My drivers are all up to date as well! Darn shame...

This game allows you to slowly corrupt married women by going dungeon crawling and casting buffs on them. Each time you buff a character (once per dungeon run) you get the chance to bond with them and see a CG scene with the character you chose. You can choose to bond in a lovey-dovey way or kinky way, which usually involves some flavor of degradation. It's a fun gameplay loop where the dungeon gameplay is interesting and engaging enough to buffer between scenes you unlock. However, due to how the buffing system works, you kind of want to use it only when you're in a pinch as it relies on a finite resource that you need to replenish periodically. This careful playstyle clashes with the point of the game slightly as if you don't use your buffs, you don't unlock scenes, and that's the whole point of games like these. This also makes it a slog if you didn't use the buff often and find yourself needing to grind it back to back to back with all of the unique party members. Thankfully though, there are quality of life features to speed up the game and grinding, like speeding up encounters to be near instant, auto exploration in the dungeons, and auto wayfinding by clicking a tile on …
