Trinity Fusion Switch Review

Trinity Fusion has an interesting premise. Three universes were created, the underworld, overworld and hyperworld. They all went wrong. The beasts of the underworld went feral. The machines of the overworld rebelled And the humans in the hyperworld transcended into a new species called the Ewer. You are Maya, a woman who can travel between universes, and needs to save them. You play three versions of yourself, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, Altara, Kera and Naira. You can even, at points, fuse two versions together to get special abilities.

Trinity Fusion

Trinity Fusion is a rogue-lite. The game is divided into runs in procedural generated levels in each of the three universes. Each universe has unique biomes and enemies. Each level has two exits. One to an in-universe biome, or one to a place called the In-Between. In each level, you’ll find amplifiers that you give you in-run buffs. Stack some of the same buff type, you get an even more powerful buff. There are psychic amplifiers you can get that give you permanent buffs, like an extra 10 health.

Combat in Trinity Fusion is your have a melee weapons, and a powerful energy weapon that is powered up by melee attacks. To get around, you’ll slide, jump and dash, plus abilities specific to each character, like wall jumping for Naira.

I have two complaints about Trinity Fusion. First, loading takes forever. Second, the teleport function in the hub, Prime, is broken and doesn’t work(or at least I can’t figure how to use it). Other than that, Trinity Fusion is a stellar game, fun, absorbing and inviting. I will give it a solid Recommended with an eight back-end score. The is solid fun and worth the time invested.

Overall: Trinity Fusion is an interesting rogue-like where you play three separate characters in three different worlds and is overall very good.

Verdict: Recommended

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.

You can tell it is AI by the lack of hands.

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.

DarkStar One is a 2006 space sim that won’t die. I’m serious, I bought it in 2006 and they keep resurrecting it every couple of years since. You play this guy who his given your father’s experimental ship and you search for the truth about how he died. First you go here, then you go there, then you go to this third place where you get a lead that sends you to the fourth place. I’m serious, you get your copilot in a scene that goes:

Her: I have information you need.

Him: Ok cool, welcome aboard.

Its not Shakespeare, its not even pulp-level storytelling. Its elementary school storytelling. But that’s not why you are playing this. The point is to pimp your ship, the titular Darkstar One to get from point A to point B.

DarkStar One
Guy with eyepiece goes, “I don’t have you need. Bye!” Then your copilot walks in.

First, to pimp the Darkstar One, you need artifacts. These are sitting around certain systems in asteroids. Just fly up and collect them. Then you choose to upgrade your hull, wings or engines. This will upgrade various stats. Then on Trade Stations you buy new weapons, systems and equipment. This part all revolves around credits of course, which is earned by killing pirates, completing missions and trading/smuggling goods. Early on, you’re mostly upgrading your jump drive to get father, but you’ll need to upgrade everything to survive. This is because danger lurks around every corner, usually in the form of those pirates who show up to die.

Controlling your ship in Darkstar One is pretty good. Its nice to play this on a controller rather than a mouse and keyboard. Everything is intuitive, except landing on trade stations. You see, you’re either going 100% fast, 150% fast or stationary. You can also back up. Become speed is regimented, its often hard to navigate into the little docking bays. This is especially true with cargo in tow, though that is mitigated with ship levels. Combat though, is smooth like butter!

Darkstar One

The biggest drawback of Darkstar One, besides the horrible story, is that what you’re doing gets repetitive quickly. The game loop is essentially upgrading your ship to get to the right system to advance the story, which always involves ship combat. The systems are all the same, the trade-station missions are all the same. You start off in Terran(human) territory, then you go to Mortok territory, and everything is still same game play wise. I got bored, quit and went to write this review. Maybe the game throws curve balls later on, but I’m not sitting through hours upon hours of identical game play to get there.

The game map is huge, but shallow.

Darkstar One is not a bad game, just extremely generic. There is a meaty game of pimp your ship here, but everything surrounding it is a snore-fest. And trust me, the game did not exactly stand out in 2006 either. So, there is a game here, but its not exciting enough to recommend to anyone but those who are most curious. Darkstar One gets a Your Mileage May Vary verdict, with a six back-end score.

Overall: Darkstar One is a port of a 2006 space sim that should have stayed in 2006. Totally generic, boring and not really worth it.

Verdict: YMMV

Those Games 2 Switch Review

YEAH! YOU WANT “THOSE GAMES,” RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET’S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM! 2 is the sequel to YEAH! YOU WANT “THOSE GAMES,” RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET’S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!. I will just refer to them going forward as Those Games 2 and Those Games 1. This series takes those ubiquitous fake mobile games ads and turns the fake games portrayed into actual mini-games. I reviewed Those Games 1 and the review did pretty well. So I’m reviewing the sequel, which brings four new games and one returning one. Like the last review, I will review each of the games.

Those Games 2: Knock-Back Shooter

Knock-Back Shooter is a game where you have to bounced a bullet off the walls and hit your target, without hitting yourself. You have a certain number of shots. The less you use, the better your score. I found it fine for what it is, but there are better games in Those Games 2.

Draw & Guard

Draw and Guard is where you draw a line to save yourself from bats. The hook is that the line becomes a physical object and can be pushed by bats. The goal is to survive ten seconds. I found this the easiest in Those Games 2 because the answer is often self-evident based on the stage layout, as seen above.

Those Games 2: Spellbinding Scroll

Those Games 2

This game is the one usually as your character shooting things, like zombies or monsters. Here you’re a women shooting arrows to enchant men. Each arrow has a value and you must shoot enough arrows to fill the heart. If you get hit, you lose whatever the value of the heart was. Hit 0 points, game over. Things get more complicated later with gates that affect your point values, and negative arrows flying at you. I think this is the best game in Those Games 2, I loved it.

Pull the Pin 2

This is the returning game, this time, instead of surviving monsters, you are delivering embers to a an oven, or water to a glass. It was great in the last game, and still great here in Those Games 2, and puts up a real challenge at times.

Number Dungeon

Those Games 2

This is a twist on the tower mini-game from last game. This time, you’re in a maze and have to attack the monsters in a certain order to beat the final boss. It is good is all I can really say about it. I played this the least, but that doesn’t mean it is bad.

Rest of Those Games 2

Like the last game, Those Games 2 has missions to beat, both daily and general. You will get coins from puzzles and missions. These are used in the “Gotcha” machine, which gives you a nameplate and/or title. There’s also word-wide challenge mode with a leader board for added longevity. Overall, its a good mini-game collection, but I don’t think its a Must Play, because outside the games, little has changed. This gets a Recommended with an eight back-end score.

Overall: Those Games 2 is a mini-game collection of fake games from mobile game ads. Pretty good like Those Games 1!

Counter Force Tactical Warfare Review

Longtime readers of this site will be aware of my verdicts; Garbage, Not Recommended, Your Mileage May Vary, Recommended and Must Play. But there is a sixth verdict, that in roughly 400 reviews, I have given a grand total of three times: Hilariously Awful. These are for games so inept I can’t hate them. The honorees are: Mini Kart Racing, Martial Knight and Flannel Amethyst. Now a fourth has entered the area, Counter Force Tactical Warfare. It is a shooter so inept, I played it for over an hour! Buckle up, because this will be a longer one!

Counter Force Graphics
Gotta love the amazing graphics!

I’ll start off with a video of Counter Force Tactical Warfare, to give you an idea of what you are dealing with. It’s level twenty-three, nine enemies, and auto-shoot on. Yes, the game plays itself. Once you get your enemy in the cross-hairs, it will fire. You can turn it off, but it doesn’t make the game any easier than it already is. And yes, they all stand in a line and shoot at you(more on that later).

The announcer says “Let’s Go!”

Now, you’ll notice you have two health bars armor and HP. Armor does not work in Counter Force Tactical Warfare, as getting hit only drains HP. You do have limited ammo, but you’ll never run out as the levels are incredibly short, literally taking around twenty seconds each. The first took five seconds. I was shocked it was over so fast. Up at the top, you have your money which are used to buy guns, These guns:

There are several lovely weapons in Counter Force Tactical Warfare, but none of them matter, the starting Ak-47 gets the job done. This because the enemies are all one hit kills. They also don’t put much of a threat as they all run directly at all you and shoot. They’ll even nicely clump together for easy killing. If you’re missing one, just look at the radar, you’ll find them.

Counter Force Game Over!
It’s oops!

Counter Force Tactical Warfare takes itself so seriously, with its grand menu music, to the announcers, to the jingle when you win. But its completely inept. The in-level “music” is just gun fire in the background. In one level, you can see the seams in the sky box. Or you can take the barrel that clips through everything:

Or the health pack dangling in the air:

Demenci tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end, they fell flat on their faces. They wanted to create something special, they just lacked the collective talent to see it pulled off. I mean this game could have been far worse than it is. Imagine no jingle at all. Imagine no auto-shoot. There could have improved ever so slightly that it was no longer a Hilariously Awful, but just plain Garbage. That’s how much of a fine line it is. So step up , Counter Force Tactical Warfare, and take your prize! You’re still getting a one back-end score, because you are still awful, but at least you have something shiny to show off. Well done!

Overall: Counter Force Tactical Warfare is so bad, it became only my fourth Hilariously Awful verdict. Still crap though.

The invention of AI imagery has done a serious disservice to gaming, as it allows unbridled laziness to take over. Case in point: Pakotime and their games. Another case in point: Cyberpunk Paradise Elysium: The Visual Novel. It is a visual novel made up largely of AI generated cities and buildings. The character cutouts are probably also AI generated as well, if the lack of hands in the generic cutouts are anything to go by. I can also tell by the lack of specific imagery within the game. For example, take this:

Show, don’t tell! Writing 101!

In a normal visual novel, you would see an image of them escaping through the secret exit. But not in Cyberpunk Paradise Elysium. But everything is told, not shown. Oh they’ll tell you what happens, amazing things, but never show in any images of the action, because its all generic AI generated garbage. But the rot goes far deeper than just the AI generated imagery. It extends to the story itself.

No… really? I could never never guessed that.

The writing in Cyberpunk Paradise Elysium is bad, really, really bad. The visual novel tells the story of a protagonist and her allies taking on a giant corporation that is kidnapping people, for reasons. It’ll tell you the corporation does bad things, but never spell it out:

What? What did the evil corporation do? Tell me!!

After awhile, Cyberpunk Paradise Elysium turns into some thinly veiled leftist anti-corporate manifesto about resistance or something and I checked out. I didn’t care about any of the characters, it gave me no reason to. And because I didn’t care about any of the characters, I didn’t care about what they were doing. Since I didn’t care what they were doing, I didn’t care about people rising up against the evil corporation. And because I did not care, I just quit and never went back. When a porn game handles this stuff better, you know you’ve done messed up.

She went to a liberal arts college, I know it!

Cyberpunk Paradise Elysium is a visual novel that fails at all levels. Its fails in the visual part, as its all generic AI images. It fails as novel, with piss-poor writing. There is no reason to play this. The story is nothing you haven’t read before, and done much better. The visuals are all generic and frankly could have been left out, and little would have changed. This gets a garbage with a two back-end score.

Overall: Cyberpunk Paradise Elysium is a visual novel that fails at the visuals, and as a novel.

Musashi vs Cthulhu is a glorified rhythm game where you must tap the correct buttons at the right time or you will die. You are Musashi, a famous warrior in feudal Japan, and you must do battle with the forces of Cthulhu, who come from the left and the right. Each enemy requires the right button press to die. There left upper, middle and lower attacks, and right upper middle and lower attacks. Each attack fills your spirit lantern. When full, I believe it slows enemies down. A hit will drain it, even if its just charging. You get hit when you miss, and three hits and you are dead.

If you read my Conarium review, you’ll know HP Lovecraft is one my favorites. Musashi vs Cthulhu certainly has the right idea. Cthulhu in Feudal Japan is awesome. It looks good. It sounds good. There’s a very good tutorial. There’s an online leader board. The issue I have is the game play is disappointing. I didn’t find it fun at all. Rhythm games are great, I used to have an expensive DDR mat(still do for Xbox 360). Musashi vs Cthulhu misses the point I think by having completely one note game play. There’s no real progression. No unlockables. No other playable characters. Only five different enemies. The Steam reviews are positive though, so people do like this.

Honestly, Musashi vs Cthulhu is too an awesome an idea to waste on such one note game play.But buy it if you want to. This gets a Your Mileage May Vary with a six back-end score.

Overall: Musashi Vs Cthulhu is too awesome an idea to waste on the uninteresting rhythm-game like game play.

3 minutes Mystery 2 is the sequel to a game a called 3 minutes Mystery. You may notice some bad grammar with the title, that’s because 3 minute mysteries was already a thing. The game is a localization of a Japanese game released by developer Tokoyo-Tsushin(TT), who is prolific in Japan, not so much here, and impossible to track down for a review code. anywhere. So I bought it and played it. The game is sixty short mysteries. You have a set up and four questions about the mystery, all solvable somewhere in the image.

It doesn’t matter if you get the answer wrong in 3 minutes Mystery 2, you just try again. Also there’s a hint which clues you in to where to look. That doesn’t mean the answers are necessarily straight forward. Sometimes the game will ask you infer something that isn’t necessarily seen in the image exactly. Like in one puzzle, you are asked to find something that identifies the victim. The answer is the ring on her finger, because there was an engraving of her name on the ring on her finger. Or then there’s the one where they ask what gives you the clue to the the time of day. The answer is this:

I don’t even know what morning glories are, so I just got the answer by chance. 3 minutes Mystery 2 reminded me sometimes of Encyclopedia Brown, where the key to solving the mystery is some roundabout thing like: “I know the guy committed the robbery because he asked for more items to get so that the victim would spend more time checking out at the grocery store because he couldn’t use the fast lane!” 100% true example! Granted, the answer may not hard to find, but the logic involved stretches credulity.

3 minutes Mystery 2 is a casual game, it is for people like your grandma, and that’s perfectly fine. There are sixty mysteries in total, so she’ll get a good 2-3 hours out of it. Despite the logic issues, the game is fine for what it is. I give 3 minutes mystery 2 a Recommended with seven back-end score.

Overall: 3 minutes Mystery 2 is a casual find-the-object game for your grandma, and that’s perfectly fine. She’ll enjoy it.

I tried with Tales from Candleforth. I really did try to get past Chapter 1. I tried playing three different times, and lost interest each time. But since I got the game free from the publisher Feardemic, I sort of have to cover the game. The game is a point and click with escape room mechanics. There are puzzles, there are inventory items, and your goal is to solve the room and move on to the next chapter. The story is centered around this book of dark tales, and the first tale is a tale of Sarah, a 16 year old girl with powers, or something, I really didn’t pay much attention.

Don’t get me wrong, Tales from Candleforth is a perfectly fine game that does all that you’d expect from the escape room genre. The puzzles are often macabre and wrapped in a horror theme. People who enjoy this sort of game with have a lot to like here. The game just didn’t click for me, and I honestly can’t say why. It just did not, that is fine. But you might enjoy it more than I did, so if this sounds the least bit interesting, check it out. I give Tales From Candleforth a Your Mileage May Vary verdict with a seven back-end score.

The succubus, a mythical female demon that seduces men and drains their life force. She is a lot like Succubus with Guns, a 2022 game published by Sometimes You that is so shitty, it drains your will to live. We’re talking Soulsland bad here. I’m only reviewing this so it can get a proper ranking on SwitchScores. no other reason. It is not sexy. It is not fun. It is crap. Let’s begin.

Succubus with Guns starts with a cut scene of a bunch of anime kids trying to summon you, but the summoning goes wrong very wrong, and they all turn into in undead. Then you start the game proper, which is a wave shooter. You go from arena to arena and killing enemies, including undead schoolgirls, shirtless fat guys and skeletons with bows. At your disposal are several guns, including a machine gun, rocket launcher, and pistol. These get taken away after the first arena by a bug(I think), forcing me to face everyone with a sword. I quit after that. And I was not going to trudge through the first arena again to find out if it was a bug.

Succubus with Guns simply is terrible from top to bottom. Aiming your guns sucks, you’ll waste valuable ammo missing. The enemies clip through everything, as do you. The graphics are amateur and ugly. There’s no music and the sound effects are all generic grunts and hisses. At random, your succubus will speak a random line that makes no sense, like, “I love you!” What? Believe me when I say I’d rather be drained by a real succubus than play this again.

Succubus with Guns get a Garbage with a one back-end score. Sometimes You doesn’t always publish winners, but this was a major misfire.

Overall: Succubus with Guns is a lot like the mythical succubus in that it drains your life force and will to live. Avoid at all costs!

The game shows the mixing up, and you can endlessly press B to reset. This means you just press B until get a favorable mix up, and backtrack.

Coxinha are chicken fritters, and Pao de Queijo is cheese bread.

Hentai Dating Stories Brazil is honestly boring, the Japanese guy is your typical wood plank hentai-hero, and the Tainara is what a foreigner imagines a Brazilian woman to be like. Now, I have never been to Brazil, but I am a writer, this is not how you write an interesting 3D dimensional character you want to get involved in. Also, the world building is inconsistent:

This sign shouldn’t be in English.

The sign above should read: bem-vindo à nossa casa, or something else in Brazilian Portuguese. In short, Hentai Dating Stories Brazil will get a Garbage Verdict with a two back-end score. I am sure there are more coming and I bet they’ll be equally terrible. For example, I’m sure in the theoretical upcoming Australian edition, it’ll be a woman who talks like Steve Irwin, has a kangaroo as a pet, and eats Vegemite Sandwiches. God help us!

Overall: Hentai Dating Stories Brazil is what you get when you have foreigners writing about a place they’ve never been to. Also it is crap!

Verdict: Garbage

    Awhile ago, I was on a writing Discord, and I had the misfortune of reading some woman’s 300k word gay furry slice-of-life novel thing. There are no plot. There was no character development. It was just a series of scenes strung together, along the occasional butt love. It was horrendous. I asked her, “Who is this for?” She was like, “It is not for you.” And I replied, “But nobody will read this, so why even bother?.” She then she got angry and we stopped talking.

Hentai Tales Vol 3 Review

Awhile ago, I was on a writing Discord, and I had the misfortune of reading some woman’s 300k word gay furry slice-of-life novel thing. There are no plot. There was no character development. It was just a series of scenes strung together, along the occasional butt love. It was horrendous. I asked her, “Who is this for?” She was like, “It is not for you.” And I replied, “But nobody will read this, so why even bother?.” She then she got angry and we stopped talking. What does this have to do with Hentai Tales Vol 3: Hitomi and Silent Space? Everything.

Like Vol 1 and Vol 2 before it, Hentai Tales Vol 3 is about this girl named Hitomi, who this time takes off in a space ship towards a planet.. and takes a bath(above), goes to sleep, dresses for the day, and tries on space outfits. I only lasted seventeen images out of fifty before I banged my head against the desk and went off to write this review. Like that woman’s furry novel, there is no plot here. Just a series of scenes strung together, usually to put Hitomi in skimpy outfits. I’m not sitting through fifty scrambled pictures, and you can’t make me.

Hentai Tales Vol 3: Hitomi and Silent Space gets a Garbage verdict and a one back end score. At least Vol 2 had a plot and was more compact. Vol 3 drags everything out and is the most boring thing I’ve played in awhile. All the games are trash, and Vol 3 is honestly the worst as its the longest. Avoid like the plague.

Overall: Hentai Tales Vol 3 is the largest of the Hentai Tales games, but that’s not saying much, as its garbage.

Verdict: Garbage

You will buy Pretty Girls Escape Plus for one reason, and one reason only, so let me spoil it:

A rare sight in today’s gaming landscape!

Now that we have that out of the way, Pretty Girls Escape Plus is the sequel to Pretty Girls Escape, which I reviewed a long time ago and is pretty much the same game: You have the waifu blocks at the top(from one to three), and must get rid of the blocks below them to lower them down to the exits. You can only remove regular blocks in chains of two or more. You can shift blocks left and right if there is space to do, and everything moves. If there’s no blocks to stop the waifu block, it will go from one edge to the other(and probably require a restart). The main difference between the two games is that here there are 10 lovely waifus instead of 8, for even more puzzling fun!

The puzzles in Pretty Girls Escape Plus get a lot harder a lot faster than the did in its predecessor, which is not a bad thing. Though you’ll still blow through all 60 puzzles quickly. Getting the optional missions on each stage make take some more time. Plus there are also 20 challenge puzzles. Honestly, there’s not much more to say, this is simply more of the same good puzzling action as before. But like all pretty girls games, the real draw are the boobs in the dressing room. The original got a YMMV. This will get a Recommended with a seven back-end score. I’ve come to terms with what these games are, and I’m ok with that now.

Overall: Pretty Girls Escape Plus has good puzzling action, but like always, its about the boobs.

Verdict: Recommended

Erogods Mirage Switch Game Review

6. Duben 2024 v 19:40

This will be the last time I am reviewing the Erogods series, the series of “dating simulators” with feminized mythological deities, previously Greek and Norse, This time in Erogods Mirage, we’re dealing with Egyptian deities, like Ra and Anubis otherwise the game is identical. You spin to unlock a deity. Play 4 mini-games, then give them the “holy schlong” by furiously tapping the A button. You’d think in the four months since Asgard, the developers would’ve attempted to move things forward. They didn’t. The only differences Between Erogods Mirage and the others are the music, backgrounds and deities, and the game is Rated T. The mini-games are the same four simple exercises, the voice acting is carried over and the UI is the same. The core game therefore is the same.

For my sanity, I’ve been chopping out the outright garbage from what I review. I rarely do Midnight Works titles. I’ve slashed AI-generated crap like the Hentai Girls series. And now the Erogods series will be discarded with Erogods Mirage. There are so many games in the Slush Pile, I need to focus on finding the buried gems, not deal with the obvious sludge. Maybe if the developers bothered to really differentiate the titles, further titles would get reviewed. As it is, I am done. There’s just no reason to other than clicks, the Erogods game reviews have never been big hitters.

I hope you are happy with the sludge you are publishing!

As an aside, maybe if they bring the titties next Erogods release, that’d be great. However, the amount of outright naughty stuff released on the Switch has decreased over time to only a trickle. Gamuzumi got censored and EastAsiaSoft has slowed on the naughty, the last being DreamCutter. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it makes dreck like Erogods Mirage seem pathetic considering they probably could have tits if they tried hard enough(and it’d sell more too).

Overall: Erogods Mirage is the same sludge as the other two titles, as hardly anything has changed.

Verdict: Garbage
