The Triumphant Return of Diabolos

So - let's get this out of the way, the game is damn near perfect. For an H-game it's long (roughly 22-26 hours), it has a good story with great characters. To my surprise (and great delight) none of the characters are trope-y and all five main girls are very distinct - both visually and from a personality standpoint. Your MC also has good development, and despite being a male H-game MC isn't really scummy to any degree. The UI is incredibly simple and doesn't require any work or exploration to understand or comfortably use. The leveling system is great, in that it actually requires a decent bit of strategy to build a decent character (at least until you're very high level). Speaking of level - don't be disappointed when you realize there is NO WAY you'll have everything you wanted at or before level 100, as you can buy skill points at the endgame for surprisingly cheap, AND the level cap is not 100. (I /think/ it's 999, but my highest character is 158, so I can't definitively say what the cap is.) The world is fully integrated - there is no overworld, so the maps are pretty and have had a lot of work put into them; the only downside is that you'll actually need to commit various routes to memory, but even if you can't the various warp points make travel pretty easy, overall. The BGM & SFX are truly excellent, and the CGs are among the best I've seen in an H-game; even on par with some of the top tier HVN CGs. Which brings me to my first of three (albeit minor) complaints - with the amazing quality of the CGs and the fact that the characters are all distinct and quite likable; I wanted more. There are disappointingly few CGs of the 5 main girls (4-5 each, and not all are H), some also had some questionable cropping (ie - there was one of penetration, but the girl was only shown from the waist up); all were also pretty vanilla - there was a grand total of 1 anal scene. A little more variety would've been nice, but given the superb quality of the CGs I can forgive the shortcomings. My second complaint is that you can't really expect to gear up every time you get to a new town as the gold comes in at a disappointing trickle. You can farm for the gold you'll need, but it is a slog to get through. Nevertheless, your stats increase at a generous enough pace that it isn't critical. My third, and final, complaint is that obvious time was taken to develop the interpersonal relationships, with all of the main girls eventually falling for the MC - which is great, but barely gets addressed at the end. A scene or some text before the epilogue, of what happened to those characters and relations would have been greatly appreciated (though, to be fair, the info was strongly hinted at - I just prefer something a little more concrete). Overall, (aside from those 3 minor drawbacks) this game is phenomenal; and I won't hesitate for a second to give it my hearty recommendation. The dev indicated that he/she has already begun work on another project - if it turns out half as good as this, I cannot wait. 10/10 easily
