I have no dating life and thats why im here,sad times
Reviews for "Ikimono High: Monster girls dating sim"
it wasn't bad.
the story was cliched, but also kinda stupid. i didn't really like the entire harem aspect where all of the girls in school inexplicable are in love with a boring, normal guy.
the twist that you used to know the zombie girl before she died was a bit stupid and the cyclops girl with a fetish for her cuts and bruises was pretty weird, but i guess it's not too strange when it comes to the plots of anime and vidual novels.
i got the "visual novel" ending? i don't really know how i got it, or how to get the others. i was expecting to have the character end up with one of the girls that i maxed out the stats for, but he didn't. i did not really understand the ending or what the satyr-girls big secret was or why she was acting weird. i don't think it was properly explained.
the girls all looked too similar in design and structure and merely looked like humans with very minimal "monster" aspects. i think you should play up their monster features next time.
the satyr character apparently had "strange legs", but you can't really tell, because her portrait cuts off at her skirt.
all-in-all it wasn't terrible, but a lot of things could be improved. i will definitely play the sequel and possibly anything you make in the future. i would really love to see you get better and i believe you can do so.
Before I give my review, let it be known that I'm not the kind of person who actively seeks dating sims, however I do enjoy one from time to time. With that out of the way, let me give my thoughts. It was a cute game. I think for what it is, it's pretty good, but at the same time, it's pretty bare bones. There isn't much to do, and it gets rather repetitive. Quickly I got in a cycle of study, eat, study, sleep until I could afford a gift and give it to someone, until I got smart enough that is. On the topics of gifts, I feel like that was a very lacking part of the game, not getting to choose what you're actually buying, maybe some girls could like something more then another. I don't think that the stamina mechanic works as well, especially since the day doesn't end itself. A time based day cycle could work, and maybe some sort of activity to make you happier, so you can study. The character himself seems like a Gary Sue, all the students like him when they meet, he has extended knowledge on monsters, it just seems very forced. Also, the music is very annoying and repetitive, and there should probably be some sort of mute button. I know that this is a game on newgrounds, and for a game on newgrounds, it's pretty alright, but I'm just sharing what I think would have been better.
TL;DR It's a good game for what it is
Enjoyed the game. Very basic and easy to win but had fun none the less. Don't know what the study was about but still did it when I had the chance just in case. Method I used was pick a girl, buy her gifts with all your money, see the text each time, study, sleep, study, eat, study, sleep, and repeat. If there was more into this game, I would have given more stars.
This is a good game, with some minor flaws that others have pointed out. If there were some changes, this would be a GREAT game. However, you have already stated that you like it the way it is and won't change anything, so we just have to hope for the sequel to improve upon this one.
