Undead Darlings ~no cure for love~

I have been thoroughly enjoying this game so far. The story is absurd in the best possible way, and the writing matches that tone perfectly. Combat is mostly as you would expect of a turn based RPG, but with a few minor twists. The game feels very carefully balanced, even down to the weapon durability system. Undead Darlings is every bit as fun as all the great classic RPGs it pays homage to.

It's good but not great. Dungeon crawling and battling is decent. First you'll need to dig through the sound settings after half an hour of dialog all while you blow your ears out with not great music. The reason you'll have to do that torture is the main menu won't save your sound settings. Dialog is way too long with meh substance. You'll spend anywhere between 5-20 min till you end up just holding the skip button. Durability on weapons decay per hit so it's a constant loot finding/replacing game. I'm not a fan of the magic in this game. Seems underwhelming especially since you need the mp to heal yourself. It's like sacrificing how far you can get in the dungeon for something that doesn't pack a punch. Update: As you burn through equipment I've noticed it's also really hard to navigate equipping new items. You can't see the items stats that they're currently wearing. Most of the item menus are really bad plus weapon decay mixes in with it. Update2: OMG The menu will make you rage quit the game. You literally can't see the stats of what they are currently wearing. You switch who's in your party, well guess what now you have to switch everything to see what has the best stat…

Zombie waifus and dungeon crawling what more can a man need. Overall its a pretty fun little game that is quite girthy if you try for all the ends. Characters are fun and gameplay is fun most of the times with a few minor inconveniences. Overall id say its worth it.

I've written a review on this game last month. The full review can be seen here. https://www.lostsummerdayz.com/2020/09/28/review-undead-darlings-no-cure-for-love/ But, to summarize. It's a surprisingly in-depth dungeon crawler that doubles as a romance visual novel. The dungeon crawling can be a bit challenging, even on the default difficulty. It is rewarding to see the story unfold and the different girls interact with each other. All in all, it's a really charming game.

‘Undead Darlings’ is a DRPG/Visual Novel developed by Mr. Tired Media and published by Sekai Games. It is available digitally for the Switch, PS4, Steam and GOG. The story is about Reggie, a survivor named Buck, and the several girls he meets(Pearl, Jordan, Kairi, Summer, Cici and Emily), who are affected by a zombie plague that has spread through the world but retain still their humanity(called ‘half-zombies’ by the official description), and taking a cure for the zombification left behind by Reggie’s father somewhere safe that they hope can mass produce it to cure them and the rest of the world. As in other DRPGs, battles are mostly random but also have fixed encounters, shown as Green, Purple or Red(for bosses) Muffins, like in the logo above, and the battles themselves are pretty fast paced. Each character’s stats and skills are balanced so they each are unique and have a kind of role(even if some skills are shared between a few of them). For example, Summer is more physically oriented, Emily more so in magic(and has the physical defense of a wet paper bag), and Pearl is a jack-of-all-trades type of character. Each of the girls also specific types of weapons they can use, su…

This game is delightful, with one glaring exception. Reggie, the MC, is 100% a chud and has entirely contemptible dialogue. Otherwise though 9/10 would date all of these zombies again
