And there it goes, any good will Big Way earned with the surprisingly good Love Island. Lovely Crush is their follow up and while it isn’t bad, it isn’t particularly worth a purchase either. This is a pop blocks-style game where you pop connecting blocks. I’ve reviewed a bunch of these, including Eroblast. Lovely Crush simply fails to distinguish itself game-play wise from similar cohorts, and honestly, I found it rather boring. Just board after board, with similar power-ups and obstacles. There is no tutorial, but you do not need one. You know exactly what to do here, as you’ve done it before.

The real draw, if you want to call it that, is to unlock pictures of anime cat-girls. Except they are AI-generated. Not only that, there are nude anime cat-girls on the Switch in the form of Neko Secret Room and its sequel Neko Secret Homecoming. Both those games are trash, but the images aren’t ai-generated and they’re nude. No such luck with Lovely Crush, which gets a T rating. In there end, this game has been done elsewhere and done better, both in terms of the puzzle game play and the anime cat girls.No reason to buy it. No reason to play. Lovely Crush gets a Not Recommended with a four back-end score.

Overall: Lovely Crush is routine block-popping puzzler with AI-generated cat-girls. Both halves of this game have been done elsewhere, and done better.

Verdict: Not Recommended

Love Island is by Big Way, makers of such trash as Hentai RPG Isekai Journey and Hentai Uni. Its a match 3 dating sim in the vein of the classic Hunie Pop on steam. And you know what? After playing it a bit, its good! Yes, Big Way made a game that’ll get a Recommended verdict! I was shocked at the quality of this. Let’s dig in:

In Love Island you play a horny guy traveling on vacation to an island resort where you get to screw 5 lovely ladies: The receptionist at the resort, a lifeguard, a maid, and a drunk tourist, Beat them, and you’ll unlock the fifth lady, a DJ named Cumchita. They each have three progressively harder levels that act as the framework for a very basic story. Like the receptionist plays out in the lobby, her office, then a secluded beach spot. Screwing is represented by lots of hearts on a black screen, and a jingles. Now for the game play itself:

Love Island’s game play is very similar to Hunie Pop, crossed with Isekai Journey. The red, yellow, blue and orange tiles fill the seduction meter on the right. The green martini’s fill your health. Above the challenge meter is a counter that counts down to when the girls challenges you(“You have a small dick” ect.). This takes away a certain amount of your health. Matching four a kind gets you a heart box that fills your energy meter. The energy meter is used for the lips(Health), gag(seduction points) and the Champaign(shuffle). On the left are three items: The strawberry gives health. The flowers are seduction points. The rings act as extra lives(and will be needed later on). Beating a level gives a choice of one three stat boosts that you’ll need to beat later levels. Lose health its game over and back to the start, like it was in Isekai Journey. Overall, Love Island is good!

I have to commend Big on improving. Love Island is a good game. It won’t last particularly long, but that’s alright, its fun while it lasts. Now what keeps this from a Must Play is that the girls are stereotypes and not endearing, like the Hunie Pop crew was. Still this gets a Recommended Verdict with an eight back-end score. Its not a classic, but it sticks the land quite nicely. Now if Big Way can keep the momentum going, that’d be great!

Overall; Love Island is a match 3 Dating Sim that is Big Way’s best game, and is actually solid.

Verdict: Recommended
