Overview:

The second game of the state-changing and atrocious erotic boss battle action game!

(Even though this is the second installment, the setting and the main character are different from the previous game,

so there is no problem to play only this game!)

A huge floating island appears far above the kingdom… Investigate the “Demon Stone Continent”!

However, for some reason, only “perverts” with special proclivities gather on the Demon Stone Continent…?

Anyway, they are interfering with the investigation, so get rid of these “perverts”!

Review:

The gameplay isn't quite as up my alley as BUZAMA, but this is mostly due to nuance. If you liked BUZAMA, this is better in a lot of ways. It's also worse in a lot of ways, and those ways are holistic rather than individual. Let me give you an example.

The struggle mechanic isn't gone exactly, but it's different. You can't lose from failing to snap out of it in time. I can see why: it's sort of unfair for you to continue to take damage after you were already hit with the attack on top of being unable to do much. But that it was changed kind of sucks, because I loved the feeling that you actually tried and failed to break free. This is sort of emblematic of a lot of the changes in this sequel - QoL that make it more like a game and a little less hot.

There are a lot more bosses now - double the number, in fact. On top of that, your game-over H-scenes are longer now, real scenes. And you can play as a booby girl or a femboy! Great stuff! The price of all this is that you can't write a whole new scene for the specific attack that defeated you, let alone once for each playable character, and so the variety has fallen in what can actually happen to you. Rather than a total of fifteen status effects from five bosses, you are now subject to one status per boss from ten bosses. Paradoxically, there is less variety because of the steps taken to increase variety.

Because that variety has fallen and because struggle changed, your HP bar works... like a normal HP bar would. It's not really your willpower or stamina or anything, it's just a generic "life bar" now. A layer of immersion has just evaporated.

Do I think it's a worse game? No, it's definitely a better game. Resolution is higher, more bosses, you can swap out your charge attack effect, the femboy is really really really cute. It's just that I don't know if it's as good as BUZAMA from a porn perspective.

But make no mistake: I don't know. I would hesitate to call it worse just as much as I would hesitate to call it better. The quality has objectively improved, just at the cost of a lot of the things I liked most about the original.

tl;dr - sidegrade of a game I really liked. EndeAA has a really weird way of developing his craft. He confuses and frightens me in many ways, but that's what makes his works fun.
