Kaichu - The Kaiju Dating Sim

A short yet sweet game with cute character designs. The story gets a little repetitive if you're trying to date all the monsters, but with it being so short it's not a huge deal.

cute as it is silly, limited novelty but still fun

This game is really cute, the art is cute, the different kaijus are cute and the music is great. However, even for the price there is nothing here unless you're achievement hunting. If you just want to play the dating sim part its about 20 to 30 minutes of gameplay and if you want to date the other kaijus there is almost no variation other than reading their profiles to see what else you need to click of 3 options to make a date go well. Unless money is no issue, don't waste it on this game.

It's a very cute concept but I wanted to like this game a lot more than I actually did. I appreciate that there's absolute gender anarchy/inclusiveness (as befits Kaiju) and some emotionally thoughtful dynamics at times. But this is really a bare-bones game with almost zero depth. The entire game is (1) pick one of six Kaiju - you are then dating this one for the rest of the game, (2) answer multiple choice questions to establish compatibility, (3) win/lose. Your 'dates' happen at various monuments, but your choice of location just sets the background art, it doesn't effect anything. No mini-games. No branching - each Kaiju has one and only one ending, or at least that's my conclusion after doing two of six. Dialogue was a little witty and there were some good puns but (puns aside) no humor. The tiny handful of opportunities for emotional depth (such as when your date admits their biggest vulnerability) are blink-and-you'd-miss-it throw away dialogue lines with zero follow-through.

This is not a bad game but it's not an amazing game. The art style is very cute and I enjoy what little we see of the characters. You get video scenes for the announcers but no real personality from any of the characters you actually date. As opposed to a standard dating sim, you just walk around a flat board, pick a location and answer a few questions. The questions change from Act 1, 2 and 3 but are basically the same for each romantic interest. And you just have to guess what kind of answer they would prefer. Very cute concept but definite lack of content especially for the price.

Un petit jeu très sympa et pas trop prise de tête ! Assez surprise de cette petite découverte !
