A while back I played Castle Fantasia 2 Renewal. When I started, I thought it was a regular "ADV" game with Ogre Tactics style battles, but one time while the main characters were discussing battle plans or something, the game suddenly cut to the protagonist's best friend having sex with his wife. After that scene, it cut back to battle plans discussion. It was pretty non-squirter, and pretty funny with how the developers didn't seem to really care how they threw the sex scenes in, as long as they were there. I think I only ever got 2 or 3 sex scenes though, which was less than half the girls, but overall they seemed pretty extraneous. It was a generic fantasy story about a war between two kingdoms, but it was actually a pretty amusing game.
The battle system was pretty basic, featuring only move, attack, and special attack choices, and maybe a defend command. You had all of your main character people in battle with their respective abilities versus random monsters or soldiers. Some battles were sort of difficult if I remember correctly, as the monsters were strong, but it was pretty even throughout. Many battles split your group across the map, as the solution to all battles seemed to be to use a "pincer attack." It became a bit of a running joke, intentionally or not, since you always knew the answer to any and all problems in the game.
"Heroguy! The enemy soldiers are attacking a local village! What will we do!?"
"Hmm... Our only option is a pincer attack."
"Sir, we've lured the enemy into our trap! What next?"
"We'll set up a pincer attack and wipe them out!"
"Oh no! We're surrounded!"
"Quick! Use a pincer attack!" |
