Echo what has been stated in other reviews. I kept expecting a choice to do something versus another thing, but it never happened. Too bad there was only the roomie and the landlady as the love interest of the MC. But in the end the story is OK. Character development took a little long to happen, but the end result was welcomed. Only found one word that should have been "Your" in place of "You". It would seem the developer is on Discord to be notified. At least all of the scenes were obtainable. Although, the first bathtub scene with landlady could have been repeatable in the gallery as well, but since there was no private parts shown, I understand why it was not in the gallery.
Short wholesome AVN from well known author (same as Grandma's house).
You play as Vincenzo (MC default,) a young man who fled an abusive father as soon as you were able. Five years ago, you'd enlisted and for a couple of years your solution had worked well. About three years ago your unit deployed and you were captured. Now you are returning home, anxious about your reception, it's been awhile after all. My imagination doesn't have any trouble going down this path. My major beef with this effort is that both your mother and your sister appear to be the same 'game asset.' This short, kinetic visual novel is matched with a modest price. I'll be keeping an eye on Moonbox Games.
I really liked this one, even without music or sound fx. If you’re into “family affairs” you’ll like this one. It’s a hidden gem and worth checking out for the price it’s going for. Already looking forward to the dev’s next game. 👍🏾
At the heart of it, this is the story of a man who returns home to the people he loves. He's a soldier who, after years overseas, wants nothing more than to see his loved ones again. Without going too far into detail (don't want to spoil anything), I will say the story touches on some of the struggles that soldiers and sailors deal with when coming home. The developer did a good job of mentioning both PTSD and the hardship of returning to civilian life that can be a burden on military personnel. Thankfully, the MC has two beautiful women to come home to that love him dearly, and who mean the world to him. Not only does it help him adjust, it also helps him heal. His home life wasn't perfect, that's part of the reason he enlisted in the first place, but these two women were (and still are) the best part of that home. With just the right amount of sexy and lewd content, A Soldier's Struggle tells a great story, that is long enough to get to know the characters, enjoy their connection, and to look forward to what the author/developer does next. Well worth checking out, and a job well done.
Good story, nice Characters short Game keep it up Moonbox
Short but sweet. Definetly worth the money.
I've yet to compete the game, I'm probably two thirds through but this is a beautiful VN. The writing is exactly what I would expect from Moonbox - superb. The characters are full bodied and feel very real.
Cool story about a boy coming home after seeing the horror of war, and finding happiness with the ones he loves. Short story, maybe two hours, with a lot of good feels and just a bit of drama. Loved it.
it was sweet, the leading ladies gorgeous, the plot not totally outside of the realm of possibilities... tho the club matron was... dimitresku scarry tall... maybe a kinky to add at a later iteration of the game... for kinky that is!
