Waifu Discovered 3: Cyberpunk Fantasy

[後半に日本語レビューあり] [h1]A Legit Cyberpunk Shmup Hiding Behind a Goofy Strip Gimmick[/h1] A cyberpunk bullet hell shmup where you rescue beautiful warriors captured by a rogue AI that drained their life force, aided by an android guide. As the third entry in the series, its graphics and boss design -- rebuilt on a new engine -- have evolved significantly from the predecessor. While retaining the strip'em up concept of "the better you play, the more you reveal," it delivers genuine substance as a full-fledged shooter. The game cycle is simple yet addictive. Choose from 6+ ships, blast through wave-based stages while collecting currency, and upgrade speed, firepower, and more during each run. Characters' clothing is gradually stripped away as you clear stages, and a "VR Hacking" toggle lets you switch between censored and uncensored views. Each ship handles differently with its own strengths, so finding your favorite and stacking upgrades is part of the fun. While a single run is on the shorter side, the combinations of ships, characters, and difficulty levels sustain the motivation to keep coming back. One caveat: the starting ship has movement inertia, making it noticeably awkward to control. Just push through until you unlock other ships by progressing through stages. The eight cyberpunk girls each sport distinctive designs, with diverse body types and skin tones that catch the eye. The hand-drawn anime-style illustrations are appealing, and with 4K support plus pseudo-3D elements introduced for the first time in the series, it is fair to call this the best visual quality the series has achieved. The enhanced gallery mode is well-equipped with angle adjustments, outfit selection, and visual filters, making it enjoyable to take screenshots of your favorite characters. The high-energy arcade soundtrack pairs well with the cyberpunk setting. Three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Arcade) are all unlocked from the start, but despite marketing claiming it is "easier than before," even Normal puts up a solid fight, and boss battles can be quite punishing if you neglect upgrades. The bullet density is already demanding from the opening waves, and Arcade mode delivers the full baptism of a proper bullet hell shmup. On the other hand, a streamer-safe mode that completely removes strip elements and a special one-hand ship are available, showing consideration for players' diverse needs. Local co-op and Remote Play Together are also supported, adding the fun of dodging enemy fire alongside a friend. Beneath its goofy strip gimmick lies what can be called a solid bullet hell shmup. It brims with self-parodying humor, yet the impression is favorable precisely because its foundation as a shooter is sturdy. As a budget-priced, pick-up-and-play arcade experience, this is a title that can be recommended to both bullet hell fans and strip shmup enthusiasts. HHF-chan's comment: "Goofy strip bullet hell shmup. The bosses are brutal enough to make you writhe, but that rush when the last clothing piece comes off -- nothing beats it!" [h1]おバカ脱衣ギミックの皮を被った、本格サイバーパンクSTG[/h1] 本作は、邪悪なAIに生命力を吸い取られ囚われてしまった美女戦士たちを、アンドロイドのガイドと共に救出していくサイバーパンク弾幕STGだ。シリーズ3作目にあたり、新エンジンで再構築されたグラフィックとボス設計は前作から大きく進化している。「うまくプレイするほど、より多く露出する」という脱衣STG（Strip'em up）のコンセプトはそのままに、本格的なシューティングゲームとしての手応えが備わっている。 ゲームサイクルはシンプルかつ中毒性がある。6隻＋αの中から機体を選び、ウェーブ制のステージで敵を撃破しながら通貨を集め、速度・火力等をラン中にアップグレードしていく。ステージをクリアするごとに背景のキャラクターの衣服が段階的に剥がれていく仕組みで、検閲と非検閲を切り替えられる「VR Hacking」機能も搭載されている。機体ごとに操作性が異なり、それぞれに固有の強みがあるため、お気に入りの一隻を見つけてアップグレードを重ねる楽しさがある。1ランあたりの所要時間は短めだが、機体×キャラクター×難易度の組み合わせが周回のモチベーションを支えている。一点注意だが、最初の機体だけは移動慣性があるので、非常に操作性が悪い。そこは留意しよう。（ステージを進めることで他機体がアンロックされるまでは頑張ろう） 8人のサイバーパンクの女の子はそれぞれ個性的なデザインで、多様な体型・肌色の表現が目を引く。ビジュアル面では手描きアニメ調のイラストが魅力的で、4K対応に加えてシリーズ初の疑似3D要素が導入されている。シリーズ最高のビジュアル品質と評してよいだろう。強化されたギャラリーモードでは角度変更や衣装セレクター、ビジュアルフィルタなどが充実しており、お気に入りのキャラクターのスクリーンショット撮影も楽しめる。BGMもハイエナジーなアーケードサウンドで、サイバーパンクの世界観との相性がよい。 難易度は3段階（Easy・Normal・Arcade）が最初から解放されているが、「前作より簡単」という宣伝文句にもかかわらず、実際の手応えはNormalでもなかなかのもので、強化を怠るとボス戦はかなり歯応えがある。序盤のウェーブからすでに気が抜けない弾幕密度で、アーケードモードに至っては本格的な弾幕STGの洗礼を受けることになるだろう。一方で、配信者向けに脱衣要素を完全に排除したセーフモードや、片手操作用の特殊機体が用意されている等、遊び手の多様な環境への配慮も感じられる。ローカルCo-opやリモートプレイにも対応しており、友人と一緒に敵弾を潜り抜ける楽しさもある。 おバカな脱衣ギミックの皮を被りながら、中身はしっかりとした弾幕STGだといえる。セルフパロディ的なユーモアに溢れつつ、シューターとしての骨格がしっかりしている点は好印象だ。低価格で手軽に遊べるアーケード体験として、弾幕STG好きにも脱衣STGファンにも勧められる一作だといえる。 日本語テキスト有藻無。 HHFちゃんコメント: 「おバカ脱衣弾幕STG。ボスが辛目で悶絶だけど、女の子の服パーツラストが剥がれた瞬間の達成感ったらもうネー！」 [quote][b]Check out our Steam curator ([url=store.steampowered.com/curator/36364102-Horny-Hentai-Festival/]link[/url]) , YouTube channel ([url=www.youtube.com/curatorhhf/]link[/url]), and X(Twitter) ([url=x.com/hhfcurator]link[/url])![/b][/quote]

There is a genuinely great shoot 'em up game here. This is a good purchase for a game where you can have an enjoyable shoot 'em up with a good variety of ships, and a good variety of difficulties and a good variety of bosses. There is a lot of fun to have here just playing the game, even if you always play in censored mode and pay no attention to the girls or the story. And I mean that as high praise, if you like shmups, pick this up. This is the third game in the "Waifu Uncovered/Waifu Discovered" series, and the developer's skills have been polished with time. If you liked Waifu Uncovered or Waifu Discovered 2, you'll love this game. Much like WD2, visually, the game has beautiful art. There are 8 waifu that are easy to find and at least one other that is hidden for dedicated players. (There's also a DLC you an buy to unlock everything if earning things in game isn't your cup of tea.) It feels like the developer really wanted each ship to feel unique in this game, and I definitely think he accomplished that. The game has Beginner (Easy), Normal, Arcade (Hard) and Expert (Very Hard) difficulty, and at least one hidden level that can be accessed, so there's plenty of variability in your challenge here. There's also a one-handed mode for people who want to play with a mouse, though I haven't tried that mode. How does this rank against adult shmups? This is up at the top, along with games like Epido (a personal favorite of mine) and above WD2. Balance-wise, this is an early review, and I suspect there are a few areas where tweaks will happen in the coming weeks, but I am already very positive about this game. It is leaps and bounds ahead of where WD2 ended up, and Expert is truly an enjoyable challenge that will require skill and game knowledge to beat. What would I warn someone about? The starting ship, K. Vaio Jr., seems like more of a joke ship. He's the only ship that doesn't seem to be intended to be used much after you unlock other ships. He doesn't start unusually strong or have any major strengths, but he has some major weaknesses that are a funny enough joke, but once you unlock other ships, I would use any ship except the junior ship. My other complaint is the difficulty of the opening waves of the later levels. This is MUCH better than it was at game launch, but there's still a few patterns that aren't enjoyable and feel like a knowledge check. You don't get to see the Waifu fully uncovered unless you kill all the enemies in the opening waves of that stage. My biggest complaint in Waifu Uncovered 2 was that it was the one thing that could derail a high score run, it can take away from the fun of feeling like you're playing well and it can remove the ability to see the waifu. It is less problematic here, but a few of the later waves are more frustrating than challenging, but after post launch tweaks, I can successfully clear the opening stage of each level on most runs. The K. Vaio Jr. joke is hopefully a joke character that will make you chuckle and choose a better ship. I'm very hopeful the balance of the opening waves is tweaked in the coming weeks, but neither of those give me hesitation in recommending this great game. It's a challenging game with beautiful art that's a lot of fun to play. Highly recommended!

[b]이 게임은 제작사로부터 큐레이터 커넥트 받은 게임입니다.[/b] [h1]보1지 보여줌 꼭1지 보여줌 비행슈팅 슛뎀업 + 야게임[/h1] 한글화되어 있는 이 게임은 스페이스 와이푸를 해보신 분이시라면 쉽게 플레이 하실 수 있습니다. 적을 죽여서 배경의 여자 옷을 터트리고, 돈을 모아서 비행기 업그레이드를 할 수 있습니다. 이번작은 전작보다 분량이 늘어났으며, 적 종류도 많아졌습니다. 그리고 적마다 어떤 공격하는지 패턴이 다양하니 여러가지로 플레이 할 수 있습니다... 대신 조금 어렵습니다. 화면의 절반 이상을 차지하는 바위공격부터, 총알 사이로 피하는게 불가능할정도로 연사하는 적 보스에, 갑자기 플레이어에게 달려드는 패턴 등 모르면 맞을 수 밖에 없는 공격도 있어요. 이런 어려운 공격을 피하거나, 저항을 하기 위해서 돈을 주고 업그레이드 할 수 있습니다. 적들을 죽이다보면 여자 옷 터트리는 것도 주지만 돈도 줍니다. 이 돈을 모아서 업그레이드 하다보면 몇대맞고 게임오버되는 일은 막을 수 있습니다. 가능하면 저처럼 방어쪽에 우선 투자하시기 바랍니다. 여자 보1지를 처음부터 볼 수는 없습니다. 처음에는 심각하게 검열 된 장면부터 깨 나가야 합니다. 이후 "검열이 조금 된", "팬티는 보여주는", "팬티 속도 보여주는" 정도의 노출수준을 선택할 수 있게됩니다. 그러니까 쉽게 설명해서 처음에는 보1지 안 보여주나 나중에는 보1지 보여준다는 뜻입니다. 등장인물이 많습니다. 다양한 개성/직업을 가진 여성들이 나옵니다. 적을 죽여서 얻은 장비로 여자 옷을 공격(자동)하면 옷이 조금씩 내구도가 닳아 없어지다가 해당 부분이 터져나갑니다. 이렇게 여자 옷을 터트리는 것을 반복하다보면 적 보스가 나오고 이 보스와 싸워 이기면 해당 스테이지에서 터트릴 수 있는 한계까지 옷이 터집니다. 이후 다른 여자 미션을 진행 -> 또 다른 미션을 진행하는 방식으로 옷이 터지는 정도를 점점 높여갑니다. 한번 본 CG는 갤러리에서 재확인 가능하며, 누드는 있지만 교1미는 없습니다. 도전과제 있습니다. 그리고 모든 콘텐츠를 해금해주는 DLC가 있는데.. 이건 알아서 생각해주시기 바랍니다.

Much like Waifu 1 and 2, the skill floor can be pretty high and the skill ceiling even higher. Since this is now the third game in the series, much of my review is going to be compared to the first two entries. But also keep in mind, the engine was rebuilt from the ground up, this is not from the building blocks of the first two. Graphically, this blows the first two out of the water in terms of girls. The options you have when viewing them is vastly superior as well. The other design elements are suitable and in line with the series. This might be what you're here for. Music is enjoyable and higher energy this time. Helps keep you wanting to play even if you happen to lose. Story? You likely aren't playing this for it's story and that's okay! You are here to strip and save girls. That's the plot. This is similar to the first two. Difficulty, while the store page claims this is easier than the first two games, I *so far* have found the game to be harder. While Waifu 1 was fairly easy to complete and unlock everything, Waifu 2 demanded more completion runs to unlock everything. This game looks like it will require similar mastery to 2 as if you don't learn and practice you will get filtered hard and quickly. Bosses can be pretty brutal this time around and without understanding their patterns you will be defeated and often. I've only finished Normal with Kat and almost all of them nearly killed me. The lower your DPS, the harder a time you will have with them overall. Defeating them ejects coins everywhere and while it would make sense they do so you can collect a monetary reward, I prefer just getting a straight payment like 2. There is a low price DLC for those looking to break open what the "game has to offer" if you find things too difficult or merely wish to support One Hand Free Studios upon full completion. As far as the ships go, some of the ship parameters have been altered and unfortunately they don't feel as strong as they did before. There is a quality of life improvement in that you can see your ships DPS clearly in the top left of the shop. Power ups can either seem abundant or scarce and I'm not sure what triggers getting more upgrades to keep pace with the levels. You will eventually hit capacity here in some stats and it can be frustrating. Limit breaking may be different, but I haven't devoted serious time to breaking the game over the wheel. The game does feel faster paced and the levels tend to take less time than previous installments. Even when you lose, you aren't losing hours of progress. Like 2, you can purchase / win coins to revive IF you so choose and that can help you better learn bosses or just finally beat a level / earn a reward you were stuck on. They were a welcome addition in 2 and it is good to see their return. Reviving only costs you your score, not progress. The happiness meter returns and getting 10+ happiness to get 4 stars on a level can be rough. Granted, this is all day one and as Peteer01 mentioned, this is in a better state overall than Waifu 2's launch. I look forward to seeing the game and this series improve over time. There are secrets to unlock and strategies to be had regarding which stages to tackle in what order and when to try for specific outcomes. Surprisingly deep for a game like this. Overall, if you are a fan of the first two games or 'Lewder Shooter' games in general, this will be a welcome addition to your library.

For a sequel of Waifu Discovered 2 (WD2), which is also a fine game, this one does not disappoint. On each stage the goal is to save waifu, by collecting shards. Shards are dropped by defeating enemy waves. When enough shards are collected a piece of clothing is removed and next stage of level starts, culminating with the boss at the end. Compared to WD2, the bosses in this game are more advanced, not necessarily harder (may depend on learning patterns and getting more familiar with the game). After each level a shop is available to buy upgrades for your ship. Game also gives you ability to buy resurrection coins, which are essentially continues, but you do not need to spend then in your current game session. What I found is good strategy is to play on normal difficulty to farm those coins. Then do next game session on arcade difficulty with those coins available. Note that if you want to chase high scores you don't want to use coins, since score resets on getting defeated. What keeps game interesting is that winning against specific bosses unlocks more ships to play with. Also on each win, a gallery is unlocked for each waifu, which gives more and more options the more time you win. While simple, galley is improvement over WD2, allowing you change facial expressions of the waifus (including randomize option adding many combinations), options to zoom/rotate the image, add color filters, customize level of clothing worn as well as what NSWF elements are available. Regarding NSWF, the game features nudity only, with options to scale it down (have mandatory underwear, show censor objects hiding naughty bits, etc...) Do I recommend this game. Definitively! But I am slightly biased, since I did play the previous title in the franchise. What is important to know is that the game is improvement over previous title, and for the price it costs, can give many hours of fun. And if you haven't played WD2, buy that one too.

[b]Waifu Discovered 3: Cyberpunk Fantasy is a special game to me in many ways.[/b] First of all, I love the shoot ’em up genre. However, I also think this game can appeal to players who enjoy hand-drawn anime and manga-style Waifus, even if they have played very few shmups—or none at all. The game includes a Beginner mode, which makes it much more accessible for newcomers. It also features the series’ “strip ’em up” mechanic, where the Waifus gradually lose pieces of armor and clothing as you progress. The fully nude version of this mode must first be unlocked, which I think is perfectly reasonable. The gameplay feels smooth and enjoyable, with six different ships to unlock. Between stages, you can visit the shop to purchase upgrades and improve your ship. [b]There are four main difficulty settings:[/b] Beginner, Normal, Arcade, and Extreme. The game also includes a One-Hand Mode, where you can control your ship entirely with the mouse. Overall, Waifu Discovered 3 combines satisfying shmup gameplay, attractive hand-drawn artwork, unlockable content, ship upgrades, and plenty of replay value. It works well both for experienced shoot ’em up fans and for newcomers who are mainly interested in the hand-drawn artwork and characters. If this sounds like your kind of game, I also recommend checking out the two previous games in the series: [b]Waifu Uncovered[/b] and [b]Waifu Discovered 2: Medieval Fantasy[/b].

Great game. You got a selection of 6 ships which all play different and can be upgraded during a run. Your goal is to save the waifus by removing their clothes. The gameplay is really fun and the music fits the scenery well. If you like Shmups with a challenging difficulty combined with puzzling elements to unlock all the secrets this is the game you are looking for.

That they are selling an "easy" mode DLC should tell you how difficult this game is. It's an extreme schmup and then some. NOT EASY. The bosses are downright sadistic and they probably wouldn't be so bad if their parts had a few less HP. Sometimes it's just easier to kill them if you can instead of trying to make things easier by shooting bullet spitting parts. I got up to 4 levels in arcade mode and I have no idea how anyone will handle expert mode. Then again, I'm not a schmup expert. Also, the goat is the meta here. I had difficulty with all the other characters and even the first character you get was seriously in trouble by the next to the last boss. However, the price is cheep, the girls are well drawn and the game is a fun time sink as long as you don't expect to win. Plays on Linux with Steam Proton 11 (CachyOS)

Waifu Discovered 3 is a great upgrade over Waifu Discovered 2. Fighting bosses is more fun then ever. Controls are really smooth and good. Art has never bin better then this. Waifu Discovered 3 is totally worth is.

[h2]🌆 Review de Waifu Discovered 3: Cyberpunk Fantasy[/h2] Um shoot 'em up arcade com temática cyberpunk que mistura bullet hell, humor e fanservice. A fórmula continua simples: quanto melhor você joga, mais conteúdo desbloqueia, mas desta vez com novas fases, chefes e um modo seguro para criadores de conteúdo transmitirem o jogo sem preocupações. [h3]✨ O que mais gostei[/h3] Apesar do fanservice ser o grande chamariz, o gameplay é surpreendentemente competente. Os combates são rápidos, os chefes exigem bons reflexos e há uma boa variedade de armas e personagens desbloqueáveis. A inclusão do Streamer Safe Mode foi uma excelente decisão, permitindo aproveitar o shoot 'em up sem comprometer transmissões ao vivo. A estética cyberpunk também deu uma identidade visual mais marcante em relação aos títulos anteriores. [h3]⚙️ Pontos de atenção[/h3] Quem não aprecia fanservice dificilmente encontrará motivos para permanecer apenas pelo gameplay. Além disso, boa parte da progressão continua girando em torno do desbloqueio da galeria, o que pode limitar o apelo para quem busca mais variedade de conteúdo. [h3]💭 Conclusão[/h3] Waifu Discovered 3: Cyberpunk Fantasy continua apostando na mesma fórmula da série, mas com melhorias bem-vindas na jogabilidade, na apresentação e na acessibilidade para criadores de conteúdo. Para quem gosta de shoot 'em ups arcade e entra na proposta descontraída do jogo, é um capítulo divertido e competente da franquia. ⭐ Minha nota pessoal: 9 / 10
