Battle Girls

One of my favorite Dharker Studios games to date of which I have played 8. It seems the last few have gotten shorter and less choices but Battle Girls was well worth the price and while not a long game it was medium length perhaps 3-4 hours with 6 good endings and 6 bad endings. The art is fantastic as always and the story more involved with many more choices and some figuring out of what works, though after learning the choices it is fairly easy and quick to do subsequent playthroughs. I consider this one of of my favorite 3 Dharker Studios games along with Club Life and the original Beach Bounce, the other bounce games not being nearly as good, Summer Fling also not being bad though shorter in length, and the other games I have played while not being bad per se, and all having great artwork just either are very short, do not as many choices and making one lose interest faster, or just not being as interesting in story. I hope they continue to make more games and a sequel to Battle Girls would be fun for sure. In the end its an ecchi visual novel, and isn't groundbreaking but is a solid offering for what it is, I recommend it to those who enjoy the genre as I do many (though not all) of Dharker Studios games.

It's ok!

Routes were nice and having many of them was appreciated. I think I favored Akiko the most. With the patch, you only get scenes where the girls are revealed with text for the actual H-scene. There isn't any animations and you never see a male part. This was disappointing to me. Still a solid game, though I would buy it on sale. 6/10

如果是日式ADV应该不错？不过这个竟然还有后宫结局？- -。

There is an issue where you most likely wont be able to get all the achievements due to a bug with steam. Other than this annoyingly stupid issue the game it's self is a pretty good dating simulator and I rather enjoyed the different outcomes.

In Battle Girls, you play as a man named Takiro that has just arrived as a pilot at a Mech academy where you square off in 6 rounds of battles accompanied with one of three beautiful co-pilots. There are a number of dialog choices that allow you to hook up with your co-pilots resulting in 3 regular endings plus 3 additional paths that open up after completing the game. The overarching story doesn't make a whole ton of sense; somehow the success of these battles will "save the economy" for your "poor nation" -- whatever that's supposed to mean. It's never explored but it doesn't really matter. The real story is about Takiro's interactions with the cuties in the academy. And I was smiling pretty much throughout the entire story. I just found the girls to be so cute and whichever route you take, they all adore Takiro and ultimately just want to jump his bones. A blind playthrough isn't all that long; I'd say somewhere around 2 hours, depending on how many choices you want to retry. I finished everything up, using a guide after the first route, and took up around 6 hours. MAJOR PROBLEM! There is an adult patch somewhere out there but as of this writing (Dec. 6, 2021), it has gone the way of the dodo. I scrounged the interwebs and and just couldn't find it. The links on the official Dharker Studios website are dead. The link from uncensorpat.ch is dead. I *did* find a couple links that went to a patch but unfortunately it was for the 1.4 patch, which is incompatible with the latest version of the game on Steam (it crashes real early) -- the patch was re-released, but who has it and where it is, I have no idea. Trying to download earlier versions of Battle Girls via the Steam console didn't work for me either; none of the older versions were found. I don't recommend this game without the adult content since hooking up with these hotties is really what this game is all about and given that the art really is pretty good; you're absolutely going to want the naughty version. The original, uncensored version can be found elsewhere and that's where I recommend you go, at least until (if ever) Dharker Studios releases the patch again. It's a shame really, since Battle Girls really is cute and fun to play.
