Strangely, none of the CGs include the guy or girl you chose to play as, which makes it look more like a yuri game, if anything.
Those factors alone make it a challenge, but the reward is that you get to unlock a CG of the two girls for winning. You’ll need to consider the girl’s stamina and interest as well as her level of lust. There’s a real strategy in place that forces you to think about how you’ll spend your turns.
The match-three elements are actually super intuitive and creative. If you’re going into this for some quick relief, you’re sure to be soft long before you actually see anything. The items will just make the girl receive more points during matches, but it’s a slow burn to the top.
The fruit is earned whether you win or lose, so it’s possible to progress even after a series of losses. Some items help you out, which can be purchased through the store using fruit earned from gameplay. The game is padded by this increasing goal, which reached well over 1000 halfway through sleeping with the different pairs of girls. Lust will increase the points rewarded, so I typically focused on that first and tried to add as many more moves as possible along the way, but mistakes can easily be made. However, I feel like luck played a role in a few of my games. There’s no timer on gameplay, so you can plan out any strategy you want. The goal will constantly be raised, and you are sure to fail more than a few times. However, this game only gets more challenging the more times you win. Players have 25 turns to reach a goal, which can change depending on the difficulty you set, with more turns available through items and conversation. Still, there are also hearts, which influence lust, water, which allows you to use items, bells, which give you an extra move, shield, which increases stamina and broken hearts, which knock one of the girls out for a few turns. Players can focus on one girl at a time during a match, who each have their preferred personality type represented by one of the colors. Thankfully, there isn’t any real time limit that I encountered until the end of the world, which is good because you’re in for a pretty lengthy experience depending on your skill level. The gameplay is pretty much match-three, but this time you have to focus on two girls. I wish there were a little more balanced as each girl has three, and one is chosen for the match, but if one handicap had a semi-positive effect on the match, I feel it would make things more interesting. However, I noticed that some girls had handicaps that made the matches easier, such as one where broken hearts had a positive effect on the girl, which allowed me to get rid of them easier. Further, you are able to talk to the girls, and during these scenes, they are affected by your responses, which is rewarded with in-game fruit currency or baggage.īaggage is pretty funny and acts as a negative handicap during gameplay. This ends up being a problem later on because you’ll need pretty much date all of them to face off against the Nymphojinn. I found that I rushed through these moments since I honestly didn’t care about all the girls in the game. However, the first time meeting characters to establish their attraction to each other will offer choices that don’t impact the story. She just has some of the best lines in the game, which is good because she probably talks the most.ĭuring the dialogue, players get to make choices. I smirked a few times, but its direct approach is pretty juvenile and something that wears off after a few hours. The writing seems to be directed at the fans of these games cracking jokes about weebs, music, fashion, and anything else you can think of. The narrative is okay, but its disconnect from reality is substituted by an understanding of the player. To get these wings, players will travel to an exotic island to have threesomes with girls. It’s up to the player to gather enough fairy wings to awake the entities, commence a threesome, and hopefully prevent an age of premenstrual torture. There is a legend known as the Nymphojinn that if awakened will bring forth a devastating PMS onto the world, unlike any humans have experience. HuniePop 2: Double Date’s narrative is nothing short of insane.
