This is a Metroidvania style game that ends up being a whole lot of fun. You explore a very large castle, finding new characters to switch to, new powerups, and of course new enemies to H with.



I really like how fast paced the actual combat is ( as long as you are in a girl form at least ), and how tight the controls are. Wall jumping is important, and easy, and you can generally get where you want to go no problem.



There is quite a story ( and from what I can tell, its pretty interesting ), but you can enjoy the game without any knowledge of Japanese, although you definitely want to dredge some forum posts for what the Contracts are for if you don't feel like guessing.



On the H side, there are many different scenes with different monster girls, although there are only a few CGs. What I like about the H content is it doesn't feel like you have to punish yourself in order to get scenes, like in games where you get scenes if you lose. In addition, H'ing enemies has a chance of granting you Contracts which you can equip to characters to make them stronger, so it feels really good.



As mentioned, I had to look at forum post a few times to figure out where I was going ( you're instructed to go from the graveyard to the library in order to get an item... not a problem if you understand Japanese ). Backtracking is also a concern. Activating the Feather Icons in various places will let you warp back to them as long as you have a Feather item.



I found this to be an incredible game and heartily recommend it.
