Alright, well, we all know what you really want to read about isn’t the past, it’s all those delicious hints at what’s coming down the pipeline in this new year, isn’t it? Well don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of those for you here this time!

With our new website up and running smoothly this year along with our hard copy section, you’re all in store for a plethora of new releases as 2014 kicks into gear. Already we’ve released our first title from our new partnership with Lilith–Valkyrie Svia–and this month sees the exciting first release of a softhouse seal GRANDEE title–Ultimate Boob Wars! But enough of that, let’s get on to the games!

Testing

Some of you already keeping tabs on updates to our new Project Status page might know where things stand, but here’s an overview for those who aren’t. The two big games in our upcoming catalog going through Beta Testing right now are Really? Really!, the sequel fandisc to Shuffle that follows up after Kaede’s route, and Chou Dengeki Stryker, an amazing expansion on the already hot-blooded hero action of Dengeki Stryker. For our new readers, Chou not only updates all of the original scenes with an exceptional amount of additional sprites, cut-ins, and animation effects, it adds three brand-new routes to let action and comedy kick into OVERDRIVE!

Armored Warrior Iris, Imouto Paradise, and Milles ~Knight of Anal Tyranny~ are the three in our catalog that are closest to hitting beta testing next, so you can expect to see all three of these coming up pretty soon in the following months.

Scripting

We have a lot of new games coming through the pipeline now that are hitting the scripting or the porting stages, including four new titles from two new brands! But of course, this year we couldn’t talk about scripting without mentioning Doddler and all the great work he’s been doing for us, so I’ll let him say a few words here about how things have been and where they’re going for 2014!

“Porting of Really? Really! is now really really done, hopefully we’ll get that one out to you guys in the near future. D2B vs Deardrops is now in scripting, with a lot of progress being made on it already. Once those are off the plate, scripting will start on Cartagra, and beyond that Da Capo 3 and Kara no Shoujo 2. It’s certainly a lot of work to do, but we’re making some good headway against the onslaught of games. But what’s that? A whole bunch more games on the horizon? New genres even? I’ll never get a break at this rate!”

Translation

Our new editors have been doing a great job keeping up with all the new work from our growing breadth of translators working for us, so we already have a lot of stuff underway. Nearly everything we announced at AX and Otakon 2013 is in translation or already past that point, so we’ve already got our trusted team hard at work on several brand new titles from our partner brands as well as those from several new brands already. I won’t spoil the surprises too much this early in the year, but we already have one title that will make you question the meaning of love and happiness with it’s deep story, one title that will push the bounds and limits of what the English market’s officially seen, as well as two new titles that brave into completely new territory for our company. Of course, those hints are only for the games we’ve already secured. That says nothing about what negotiations are currently underway with a few different companies, including one big name we’re discussing title selection with. What a beautiful year to come.

Hard Copies

Now that our hard copy store is fully up and running, we’re hoping to add many different new hard-copies to our catalog this year. The first on our list is a hard-copy of Tick! Tack!, something we’re hoping to get out and have available just in time for the beginning of convention season. Though these are still unconfirmed at the moment, we’re also taking Eroge!, Harukoi Otome, and Chou Dengeki Stryker into serious consideration as hard-copy candidates. There’s even a couple more we may be able to look at printing depending on how the cards fall.

Our first major convention for 2014 is going to be Sakuracon, so we hope to see lots of you there when we start making our announcements!

Oh, right, but of course! What would a look forward be without a glimpse of something you might start seeing from us next year! Enjoy–

ss (2014-01-27 at 11.33.25)

Today we’re proud to present the second Tester’s Corner for Ultimate Boob Wars!

This game features large breasts.

This game features large breasts.

Ultimate Boob Wars, internally known as Boob Wars –The Boobier and Boobiest-, was certainly an interesting experience to have been a part of. First off, Boob Wars 2 was the first title that I worked on with Ocharenja as the editor rather than Sloanereinja. As I mentioned in my 5-year reflection post, this change was marked with a period of uncertainty as both the translator and the editor were new additions, and Boob Wars 2 was their first title at MangaGamer. As such, Boob Wars 2 was an amusing experience to test, both in playing the game itself and with discussing various issues with the associated staff.

And small breasts.

And small breasts.

First and foremost, I will say that I have never played the original Boob Wars (2012) released here at MangaGamer, as I was assigned a different project at the time. That being said, I knew the game was a nukige, and I knew the game was significantly longer than any previous Softhouse Seal game (as Boob Wars 2 is a Softhouse Grandee title). What I ended up playing was a big monster of a game with over 60 separate ero-scenes, the majority of which were animated. Boob Wars 2 was, at its core, a silly and comical game. The text itself was laced with puns, and the music was often a set of jingles, reminiscent of a comedy sideshow.

Magical breasts.

Magical breasts.

I suppose what was the most memorable incident during Boob Wars 2 testing was what I have come to call, “The Great Wiener Incident of 2013″. Due to unforeseen communication problems, the various euphemisms used to refer to the penis were drastically weighted towards one option in particular: wiener. Now granted, this was a perfectly suitable choice for some of the heroines, such as Milpha and Nico, but for others this was directly clashing with their personality. Fortunately, after some discussion with the editor, the translator, and the coder, we were able to successfully alleviate this “issue” so players would be able to experience the ero-scenes of Boob Wars 2 featuring a large range of penis and penis related words.

Even explosive breasts (not really).

Even explosive breasts (not really).

Overall, Boob Wars 2 felt like a solid game, all things considered. I am still not a fan of nukige, and I don’t foresee this changing any time soon. However, at the very least, I found Boob Wars 2 to be a lengthy game that featured a fairly large spread of character archetypes and body shapes, and I enjoyed my month spent testing it.

Cho Dengeki Stryker – Hilko

ChoDengeki_01

Today, we would like to look at Hilko from Dengeki Stryker. She is one of the character who got her own route in Cho Dengeki Stryker.

Lieutenant Hilko is a powerful member of the Balbora Empire, who always refers to herself as the “beautiful woman of womanly beauties”. Even when the Balborians go poor and have to all live in a single apartment in Japan, her haughty pride never lets her give a second thought about doing any chores for her comrades.

hiluko_art

With a personality like her, she doesn’t obviously go well with our hero, and her annoyance towards Dengeki Stryker is shown throughout the story. However, when an opportunity for easy money comes about, she shows her clever calculating side.

She might be the farthest from being considerate, but once someone develops a strong trust with her, Hilko can become a very dedicated cute girl.

hiluko with Barbola members

The Love Saga fleshes out Hilko, previously regulated the role of a secondary character in the original Dengeki Stryker. Faced with mounting expenses associated with the maintenance and upkeep of beautiful woman of womanly beauties, Hilko realizes she must seek employment to make ends meet, buy snacks and beauty products, and to get the other Balboran vanguard soldiers off her case about money.

However, what sort of work suits a classy lass such as herself? A live-in-wife, of course!

However, what sort of work suits a classy lass such as herself? A live-in-wife, of course!

The Love Saga branches off from the Zero Saga of the original Dengeki Stryker, playing out a side story not without tension and action, but one that explores what could have been had things between Yamato and Hilko played out differently. As such, a new side to the personalities and eccentricities of the Balboran Vanguard are explored in this tale of love, cooking, and womanly beauties.

Hiluko is voiced by Yuri Himuro, and her other famous works includes the role of Yukikaze from Taimanin Yukikaze.

Tester’s Corner: Ultimate Boob Wars Ed. Vol 3

CG03Today we’re proud to show off another Tester’s Corner for Ultimate Boob Wars from our tester, Nurio!

The ultimate question of all questions… Are you a Boob man, an Ass man, or perhaps a Pussy man? Or maybe you’re more into a girl’s personality than her body? (Psh! Gay!) If you’re a Boob guy, boy, do I have good news for you! I present to you… Boob Wars! …Oh, sorry, that’s the Ultimate Boob Wars. Now 72% more Ultimate than the previous Wars!

Hearing I was going to play test another nukige from Softhouse Seal, I was both happy and terrified. Naturally I was happy because my experience with Softhouse Seal nukiges has been 100% positive so far. But I was terrified that I’d have to live in exile while playing this game due to the sheer amount of boobs in it.

And oh my God… This game has boobs. And boobs. And boobs. And some boobs. And boobs. And I believe a few boobs as well. Oh, and there’s boobs in the game alongside the boobs. The game immediately starts with its opening movie after the standard warnings. It immediately proves its point it’s all about the boobs, though it luckily also shows there’s perhaps a bit more to it than that.


The opening movie is so… sugary! I could just lick the screen! N-Not that I tried…! *cough*

But yeah, boobs. It’s still obviously about them. There’s no escaping them! As mentioned, the opening movie has boobs in it (though perhaps not as much as you’d think). And the title screen of course also has boobs. …But even when you think you’re going to a peaceful town, suddenly there’s a huge boob in the background! Whah!

Well, at least they're not all smiley about it, so no need to knock them unconscious and dress them…

Well, at least they’re not all smiley about it, so no need to knock them unconscious and dress them…

The first time I've ever had to censor a background…

The first time I’ve ever had to censor a background…

After a while, it was like I was playing The Smurfs, only boob-themed! “Hey, I totally boobed today in the boob. What do you boob about that?” “Wow, that’s boob! Great boob, boob! Hahaha, boob!“. There’s plenty of boob puns, and sometimes I had to look them up to see if the pun is accurate. Because of this game, my search history looks very weird! I won’t spoil what I searched due to, well, spoilers, but I can completely understand those people who’d want their search history destroyed when they die! I’ll have to add that to my will as well now! So, I hope you also can understand I definitely don’t want my parents catching me playing this game! So, naturally, I tried to make the game as inconspicuous as possible, renaming the icon that happily appeared on my desktop after installation.

Stop questioning the icon, you purple and slightly attractive horse! It clearly says Inconspicuous Game 2!

Stop questioning the icon, you purple and slightly attractive horse! It clearly says Inconspicuous Game 2!

Yes, my desktop is very clean. Thank you for noticing! But this is not the time to praise me for my orderliness! We must go onwards with boobs! An example of these boobs in the game is… the prologue! The game opens with this epic, very religious-feeling text, talking about the Tittynomachia. (You know, Titanomachia, except boobs) I was getting into the epic mood… and then suddenly, ohmygoddragontits!

Do I even have to censor this? Eh, might as well… This is more obscene than all the other stuff…

Do I even have to censor this? Eh, might as well… This is more obscene than all the other stuff…

The game has a talent for building up things in a cool or epic way only to have it end in a silly anticlimax. You’d say a nukige only deals in climaxes, but nope! Get a free anti-climax for every climax in Ultimate Boob Wars! (This limited-time offer expires Tuesday morning 2022.) Speaking of climaxes… all throughout the game, I’ve been waiting for one particular expression to appear. In fact, I’d have considered it a crime if this expression didn’t appear in the game… But luckily, lo and behold!

Ha! Right there! Calm your tits! Heeheeheeheeheeeheeeeeeehhhehehehheeehhh! …heh

Ha! Right there! Calm your tits! Heeheeheeheeheeeheeeeeeehhhehehehheeehhh! …heh

Having waited for this throughout the whole game and finally seeing it… It’s like an orgasm, man! Not the physical one where you spray your stuff all over the room, but the mental one you get from finally figuring things out, like deducing who the murderer is or finding out your father is actually the mailman who keeps charmingly winking at you when he delivers your mail. That’s how I felt! Also, do you see that little boob icon in the text? Yes, the icon to advance the text is boobs. Everything is boobs. Boob is love, boob is life!

…And I think that’s everything boob-related I wanted to say about this game… So with that out of the way, let’s talk about the part of Boob Wars that’s not boobs. (Like 2% of the game.)

Since this is a game with a fair share of small ladies, you can also expect it’s a game with a fair share of high-pitched squeaky voices, as if you’re dining at a restaurant where all the waiters wear only rubber soles on the wooden floor and have pet hamsters, mice and rats on their shoulders. Oh, and your date is a parakeet. So, if you get home, the last thing you want is more squeakiness. Luckily the game offers you to set the volume for the individual voices. So if you don’t want to hear, say, Boweene’s voice, you can totally silence that bitch! (In a totally legal way, too!)

I tend to leave all the voices on, though. I don't mind squeakiness!

I tend to leave all the voices on, though. I don’t mind squeakiness!

By the way, do you see those names? Milphalia Ur Urrila? Aria Aliialia? All these characters have very convoluted names, and I’m undecided whether that’s awesome or just downright strange. Also, I’ve scoured through the game, but wasn’t able to find a character named “Others”. Who’d name their kid “Others” anyway? Way to make them feel excluded, Mom and Dad!

It seems like it’s a trend with games that have come out recently, but I feel like pointing it out every time, because I still enjoy it a lot! This game doesn’t audio-censor the word “Penis” or “Pussy” or whatever. So there are no annoying beeps during the sex scenes. (And believe me, they say Penis a lot! The resulting beeps would’ve been deafening!) Speaking of the sex scenes, they’re animated! I remember when I was but a wee lad and I was mind-blown by sex scenes being animated, but Ultimate Boob Wars tries to trump even this! 52% of the sex scenes are animated! Fifty-two percent! That’s like more than half of them! And to make it even better, you have animation controls during these sex scenes, so you can zoom in on your favorite (private) parts or whatever the heck you want! Boobalicious!

You might say that half of the scenes being animated isn’t too impressive… But it’s impressive, I tell you! 33 out of 64 scenes are animated! Yes, you heard me right… 64 sex scenes! 33 animated! Some of the sex scenes have multiple parts, even! This game is more packed with sex scenes than my house is with relatives during a birthday party! (I swear, it smells like sweat and farts during birthday parties here…) So, if you get this game, depending on your ejaculation rate, you’ll be busy for quite a while! …Having to go through it all in a few weeks with nary a fap makes this a bit of a mind-numbing experience, though. I don’t recommend that if you want to stay sane! (Luckily I already lost my sanity to Apple Horse, so I didn’t suffer any damages.)

The first 6 girls you see up there (Milphalia to Chocolat) are main characters and have their own route, all with 9 sex scenes each! (Wow! Much sex!) Aria has 3, Lumha has 2 and Tiara has 1. Then there are 4 special endings with their own sex scenes, and that makes, uh… 9 * 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 64 sex scenes! Trust me, I’m a mathematician. In case you hadn’t noticed yet, this game is massive!

The game is so massive, it also has a lot of locations alongside having plenty of characters. It may sound strange, but the enormous amount of locations, languages, characters and even lore really made this game come to life for me. Surely, it doesn’t go TOO deep, but I still appreciate the effort that went into this, even if all the locations are named after boobs. If you’re not one for puns, this might be a bit tough to handle.

So, that said… let’s talk about the characters and the story! (Pfft! Story in a nukige!) The protagonist is Haruto… The only guy in the continent who loves all boobs equally in this time of war. He’s sent on a holy mission to collect boob energy to save the land and spread mammary equality!

No, I am not making this up…

No, I am not making this up…

Along the way, Haruto meets a variety of girls and has sex with them all. Yep. And like Kyousuke in Greatest Inventions, he also has the policy to please the girl during this sex. (Unlike Kyousuke, though, he doesn’t really use gadgets or trickery.) …Wait, I was supposed to stop talking about the sex! Anyway, all the girls are at least interesting to some degree. Or that’s what I thought, anyway! I have a peculiar taste, so maybe not everyone will agree? There are 4 characters on the Flat Chest side, 4 on the Big Breast side and 1 on the Medium Breast side. Yes, there’s one secret Tribe of Medium Breasts! The character from this Tribe happens to be your true sister. No step-sister nonsense! Full-blood sister ready to bam! …For those who know my fetishes, that had my blood boiling. In the good way!

All 6 main characters have their own route with their own ending, and there are 4 special endings… This makes for 9 different ways to end the Boob Wars. (Trust me, the math checks out.) It was actually interesting to see how the Boob Wars were ended in various ways. There’s ending the Boob Wars through Manipulation, Diplomacy, Legend, Military, Family, Magic, Temptation, Infiltration and Defeat. See? That’s 9! Math checks out. I’m a true mathematician! …Some of these endings were actually pretty cool and/or sweet and maybe even a bit sad. It surprised me that this nukige made me feel these things (though admittedly not on too great of a scale like Kanon did *sniff*).

By the way, every ending was strangely satisfying because of the ending theme. I’m not sure how to describe it, but it was like some sort of cool yet cute Japanese rap or something… At the very least, the Fu, Ku, Ha, No were all blasting through my ears at a rapid pace! I already don’t understand Japanese, but I understood this rap even less! And that strangely made me like it more! That’s how my brain works! Why do I keep screaming! I think I turned deaf from all the Fu, Ku, Ha, No!

Haruto’s love for boobs is so immense (which is also why he’s the chosen Savior of the Land) that he sometimes convinces me of the greatness of boobs. Now, don’t get me wrong… I always thought boobs were great, but he’s making me look forward to boobs like I do to barbecued spareribs with his inspirational speeches about mammary equality. I used to be an agnostic atheist (yes, that’s a thing) but after this game I think I’ll be an agnostic boobyist. He really did make me see the good of both Big Breasts and Flat Chests! Something I didn’t even conceive possible! But Haruto is just that good! And what I also like about him is how he actually has a face!

And it's a pretty damn cool face!

And it’s a pretty damn cool face!

His face is actually gone during sex scenes, though, for those people who don’t like seeing a dude’s face while doing the nasty nasty. I personally wouldn’t have minded seeing that handsome mug during the most intimate moments, though. No homo. …Okay, maybe just a little bit homo.

And now of course the ultimate question. Yes, a different more ultimate question than the one I started with. Which side am I on? Big Breasts or Flat Chests? (Medium Breasts are exempt.) Well… If I had to judge by purely the body type, I’d go for the Big Breasts, actually. If I were to go by character and personality, though? Definitely the Flat Chests! The Flat Chests have Chocolat and Aria! You can’t beat those two! Sorry, Big Breasts!

And that’s all I have to say about Ultimate Boob Wars. Nurio, out!

Cho Dengeki Stryker – Clie

A NEW CHALLENGER HAS ARRIVED!

Warning! This post covers entirely new characters not present in the original Dengeki Stryker. Please be aware that there may be some spoilers.

Today, we would like to introduce you to Clie, the sword swinging, Balboran Emperor following, and doting sister of Rin from Dengeki Stryker. A one-woman-blitzkrieg, Clie slashes her way into the lives of Yuuki Yamato, Rin, and the other remnants of the Stryker-Balboran conflict following Col. Mirror’s climatic defeat at the end of the Zero Saga.

body

Clie is a woman of extreme honor with devotion to her duty and the Balboran Empire. Sent in as an initial strike force against the Japanese Strykers, she faces off against Styker Ten, the Stryker scientist from the Sky Saga responsible for many of the cutting edge developments that kept the Strykers at the forefront of national defense in the Dengeki Stryker manga.

 body-2

However, following the conclusion of the Zero Saga, Yuuki Yamato, Hongo Haruna, and Rin discovered the truth behind their existences; that they were merely characters from the Dengeki Stryker manga brought to life by a single wish to the Memory Collector. With these survivors left behind to sift through the ashes and recover from their battle against Col. Mirror, Clie came in as a massive shock, a Balboran soldier from an empire that shouldn’t actually exist!

Thus, the all brand new Steel Saga of Cho Dengeki Stryker focuses on the sisters, Clie and Rin, as they struggle and survive together, rebuilding bonds and building new ones with those they meet in Japan. Clie’s rigid manner, formal military dress, and strict adherence to the warrior’s code places Yamato and Rin through a number of frantic and hilarious situations as Clie adjusts to life in Japan.

body-3

Clie is voiced by Megumi Hikawa, whose voice acting work includes Naka no Hito nado Inai! Tokyo Hero Project and Real Imouto ga Iru Ooizumi-kun no Baai, both being titles under the ALcot label.

Curious about the new features and content in Cho Dengeki Stryker? Look no further as today we are proud to give an overview of the new and enhanced content presented in the long-awaited expansion to our 2012 release of Dengeki Stryker!

For players of the original Dengeki Stryker, Cho Dengeki Stryker features additional content enhancements upon the original title such as:

Additional event CGs, fleshing out previously text only portions of the game

Additional character sprites, allowing for a great degree of expression among the characters

Vastly improved combat scenes, featuring graphical enhancements and sounds to deepen the immersion of the battles

A prime example of these graphical enhancements would be the licking embers present during the fight against the Balboran Phoenix as he sets the city aflame.

sayaka

The original Dengeki Stryker featured three main routes the Zero and Sky Sagas that branched off from the game’s trunk along with the Heaven Saga that served as the true ending route. Cho Dengeki Stryker features three all new, completely original routes that branch off and build upon the original game. The combined length of the three new routes rival the length of the original three. With the original Dengeki Stryker featuring a trunk and three full routes, Cho Dengeki Stryker’s Love, Steel, and Light Saga increases the game’s total length by over 80%.

hilko

The Love Saga features a focus on Hilko, the beautiful woman of womanly beauties, as a branching side story off of the main Dengeki Stryker. The Love Saga fleshes out the Balboran side of the conflict, putting the spotlight on the lives of our heroes and heroines outside of their bionic struggles. Read more on this womanly woman of beautiful beauty here!

clie

The Steel Saga builds upon the smoldering ashes remaining at the close of the Zero Saga instead. New faces and old enemies make a return in this route as the previously shorter route in Dengeki Stryker becomes the longest and most fleshed out in Cho Dengeki Stryker. Read more on Clie, the sword-swinging heroine of the Steel Saga here!

Following the Steel Saga is the Light Saga, but we’ll leave it up to you to play it and find out what happens!

To accompany the new routes are brand new opening and ending songs, with new animated sequences to match.

Click here to view the video on YouTube.

“Fight for the Future” is the new theme song for Cho Dengeki Stryker, featuring lyrics milktub and performed by Endoh Masaaki of JAM Project fame.

Without spoiling the surprise any further, additional vocal tracks were added for each of the new routes along with “Keep on Dreaming!” the new ending song for the conclusion of the Light Saga!

Cho Dengeki Stryker is the definitive version of the title, featuring a tale of heroics, love, and chivalry that is sure to appeal to both veterans of the original Balboran conflict of Dengeki Stryker and brand new Stryker Warriors who have never experienced the story before!

Triple Stryker

With its expanded routes and additional characters, Cho Dengeki Stryker nearly doubles the length of the original 2012 English release and is sure to keep you hooked to your seat for tens of hours!

Cho Dengeki Stryker is up for preorders now and will go live on March 28, 2014!

…and a small bonus for veteran players. (Warning, spoilers!)

Tester’s Corner: Cho Dengeki Stryker Ed. Vol 1

030214_0100_TestersCorn1.pngI had originally worked on the first iteration of Dengeki Stryker nearly two years ago, back in the spring of 2012. The game was and still is one of the few titles from MangaGamer that I excitedly volunteered to work on. After all, it was game that broke away from the monotony of generic high school romance or the endless storm of nukige. Cho Dengeki Stryker ended up being both surprising and pleasant to have worked on in a variety of ways.

030214_0100_TestersCorn2.jpgI was not prepared for the sheer length of the Steel Saga, as I had expected Cho Dengeki Stryker to be merely an expansion upon the base game. The game features three new routes, Love Saga, Steel Saga, and Light Saga that form a separate branch apart from the previous game, similar to how the Zero Saga, Sky Saga, and Heaven Saga did so in the original Dengeki Stryker. The new routes flesh out the aftermath of what could have been had the Zero Saga’s events played out.

030214_0100_TestersCorn3.jpgThe new graphical effects are small additions to the game that added a surprising amount of immersion to the scenes. For instance, the flames of Phoenix fill the screen with embers, the screen rumbles and shakes when <redacted> fires missiles and fights Yamato as he and his comrades try to protect Japan.

030214_0100_TestersCorn4.jpgOn the personal side of things, Cho Dengeki Stryker would mark the final game that I would work on that was edited by Sloanereinja. Future titles would be handled by different editors, but I admit that I will miss the various quirks of his editing style.

030214_0100_TestersCorn5.jpgHowever, at the end of it all, I had greatly enjoyed working on Cho Dengeki Styker. While the original had felt as if it closed the book on an exciting and frenzied story of heroes and villains, Cho took me farther and deeper, bringing new depth to Yamato, the Strykers, and the cuteness of Hilko slowly learning to be your wife.

Milles_CG11Today we’ll be introducing Queen Regina and Sadin from Milles, Knight of Anal Tyranny!

Regina is the Queen of  Schnarb, a small nation that’s isolated itself from others due to the monsters infesting the woods on its border. Every year their kingdom offers one girl as a sacrifice to their local diety, Diva, but Regina doesn’t believe any of that. She refuses to believe that any god would request such sacrifices from her people. So after many years of preparation, she’s finally arranged for a chance for her and this year’s sacrifice to escape. But as she races through the forest and encounters its denizens…Milles_CG03

She finds out the hard way that she gets aroused by having other people watch her in the act, though. Which leads her into ever more precarious positions…Milles_CG12

Sadin is the girl chosen to be this year’s sacrifice. While she had come to accept her fate, Regina convinces her to flee, giving her one last chance at hope. Hope that’s quickly shattered…Milles_CG13

As Sadin comes to accept her role as a sacrifice once again, she’ll learn that she likes it hard. And rough. And painful. It never hurt so good, until now.Milles_CG09

CG03Hello, whoever is reading this. I just finished reading Chou Dengeki Stryker, and it’s probably one of the best visual novels I’ve ever read. Why you might ask? Well, I’m going to tell you.

To begin with, this is sort of an expansion/fan disc to the original Dengeki Stryker which I never had played before. This meant that I effectively had to read both visual novels so I could understand the plot, characterization, and the like. It was an overall enjoyable experience.

Now, back to why I consider it one of the best VNs I’ve ever read.

ev001To begin with, I read the summary of the game on vndb.org, and thought “Person turned comic book superhero. Sounds lame.” But I gave it a shot anyway, expecting to be not so entertained. However, it was actually really surprising. How you can level with the protagonist is actually quite an incredible thing. There are few visual novels I’ve played where I’ve actually been able to do that, and Chou Dengeki Stryker is one of them.

ev012The characters are actually probably the main selling point for me. I love how their personalities all tend to undergo this dramatic change when effected by the protagonist. You’ve got the innocent classmate, the childhood friend, the mild tsundere, and the airhead. All of these girls are initially a set style, but the main protagonist changes who they are for the better.

ev033The plot definitely is great, but it does come second to the characterization, but that’s because I loved the characters so much. Either way, if you kind of like those battle superhero visual novels, you’d definitely like this.

Thanks for reading my tester’s corner, and this is linktriforce007, signing out.

Milles_CG10Today we’ll be introducing Milles and Cadia from Milles, Knight of Anal Tyranny!

As a little girl, Cadia was nearly raped by a band of ruffians. She was only spared because they lost all interest at the sight of her dick. Ever since then she’s had a complex about her second sex, and she’s tried to become a strong woman to avoid facing such humiliation again. She’s the first one to encounter Milles, and offers to let her team up.Milles_CG05

Still, no matter how much she may be ashamed of her cock, and no matter how strong her will may be, she’ll find out her body doesn’t agree with her when she ventures into the woods…Milles_CG02

Milles is an unusual girl. When she first wakes up, she finds herself in front of Diva’s shrine with no memories of who she is or how she got there. But, as she tries to leave, she’s quickly assaulted by the denizens of the forest, and filled with eggs containing their spawn. By the time she manages to stumble into town, the eggs are ready to born, and Cadia saves her and the villagers from further violation.Milles_CG01

What secrets lie in her lost memories? She’ll find out when she returns to the forest…Milles_CG04

cg 2Hello! Belucre here, with her first tester’s corner for Milles, Knight of Anal Tyranny!

Without any memories and lost in a strange land, Milles awakens to a nightmarish situation, attacked by monsters who crave female flesh. Managing to escape the tentacled horrors, she takes refuge in the nearby town. There, she gains an ally and a friend when she meets Cadia, a bounty hunter with a lust for treasure, and a few secrets of her own.

But Milles has more pressing troubles than just her amnesia, as she learns of the local god, Diva, and how he demands sacrifices each year in exchange for protecting the land. However, not all are content with this arrangement, as the royal princess, Regina, plots to escape with Sadin, this year’s intended sacrifice, to be free from Diva’s depraved demands once and for all.cg 1

Milles must choose between focusing on her quest for her memories, or to defy this powerful god and help the oppressed people of the kingdom—but to do so also means venturing back into the forest, infested with hungry creatures at every turn…

Milles, Knight of Anal Tyranny is a straightforward nukige, but with a heavy emphasis on taboo sex. For anyone looking for more deviant content, it’s anything but vanilla: sadomasochism, voyeurism, bestiality, bondage, and the like are all given heavy emphasis. The four girls have their own individual routes, with five to seven sex scenes each, including animated ones. Additionally, there is also an option to remove scat and pubic hair.

cg-3On a visual note, the artwork excels when it comes to portraying expressions of misery or frustration, with bright coloring and appealing character designs. The music also does well with creating the atmosphere, particularly during the more ominous scenes.

Milles_CG09As a nukige, the story isn’t the focus of the title. Still, the characters have some depth to them, and are more than helpless victims waiting to be ravaged. I pitied them as they ventured through dangerous territory, and feared for them as they battled lethal creatures. My favorite heroine is the timid and gentle Sadin, whose masochistic desires make her vulnerable prey. Each girl is designed to appeal to their own niche: Regina is for those who prefer a tsundere princess, whose royal status means her degradation is that much more humiliating. Cadia, despite her fiery temper, is ashamed of being a futanari, a weakness which is exploited mercilessly. And Milles is an inexperienced lover, but fiercely loyal to those whom she has sworn alliance to.cg-5

Considering this is the first game I’ve beta-tested for MangaGamer, this is a dark introduction indeed. For those willing to venture into the forest with Milles, it’s a fun adventure—but admittedly, a dark, twisted one, where the best outcomes are devoid of hope and even the happiest endings are dubious.

Lapis Gunner Creator’s Comments

Today we’re proud to present some comments from the creators of Lapis Gunner!

Hello Konnichiwa. I’m the chairman of Hentai Industries, Alamar Cinkokusai. All you tentacles fans in the world, sorry to keep you waiting.

Created by two of the most renowned tentacle creators in Japan, Jacky & assault, the sequel to the low price tentacle game, “Lapis Gunner” is finally here!

The production of its prequel “Ruby Striker,” is when the two, who already had respect towards each others’ work, met for the first time and had shown their love for tentacles in their own way. Although they did a wonderful job with it, as being the director, I felt that the two were still trying to seek each other’s intentions. But by the time we released “Lapis Gunner”, they went all out with their capabilities and tentacle love!

Also, Ruby Striker makes an appearance in this game too, so if you liked the prequel, rejoice!

By the way, you can only hear him speaking in the game, but Zodiac the villain actually has a design. Which is this:

Zodiac

This Jewel Star series is a trilogy that ends in the 3rd game, Amber Breaker, but the series continues on to a story of an alternate world, “Prisoners of Tentacle Hell”.

His past is revealed to an extent in that series.
Zodiac actually has no sexual desire. Pretty rare for a male character in a hentai game, eh?

I do want to release the “Prisoners of Tentacle Hell” in the long run, so if you are interested, please give me your thoughts and support! (Although if you have read this far, I’m sure you are interested!)

But before I go, let me show you another CG since only a few people can enjoy looking at a guy afterall. This is Celfis, the mage, from “Prisoners of Tentacle Hell”

Celfis

Celfis holds a strong magical power that surpasses Zodiac, but as I feared, it looks like she was no match for the tentacles.

By the way, after Lapis Gunner, I am planning to work on “Royal Guard Melissa,” the sequel to “Warrior Princess Asuka”.

See you next time!
