Granted, this is hardly anywhere near The Beginner’s Guide level of depth and subtlety, but it makes things more interesting than just explaining everything upfront.

While most may not like this approach, I actually find it fairly interesting and it adds a bit of mystery to what is otherwise just a silly porn game. Sans sure has changed ever since the end of Undertale. This still could have worked if this part of the plot was a little more fleshed out, but it was rarely touched upon in game and you don’t get any answers at the end. Granted, it could also be implying something about all of this just being a game, but the problem is that the emphasis is on a tabletop game, and not a video game. Unlike those games, however, the only reason the player exists from a story standpoint is so older Akira has someone to spill his exposition to. Additionally, older Akira remembers his own past adventures that tend to reset back on each other (obviously indicating that these are supposed to be previous campaigns), but younger Akira has his memory wiped each time.Īdditionally, Critical Hit takes after games like Contact, Pony Island, Imscared, and (to an extent) Undertale in how it implements a 2nd person narrative from the point of view of the player themselves. Unfortunately for the older one, he cannot talk to his younger self nor can he take control. To be technical, they are the same entity one is just an older and more desensitized version of the other.

One of the main features of the story is the “two entities share the same body” trope, which applies to our main character Akira. Well, as long as it isn’t the endless eight again we should be fine. Otherwise, the plot will come across as disjointed and confused due to its meta subject matter. This is obviously going to be lost on someone who knows absolutely nothing about Dungeons and Dragons so it is recommended that someone knows at least the basics before going in. Our story takes place in a world that is clearly meant to be based off a Dungeons and Dragons campaign that frequently makes references to there being a game master, dice rolls, and an infinite time loop that is clearly meant to signify different campaigns. TW: The word “trap” being used to refer to femboys/mtf crossdressers, references to rape and sexual content because this is a hentai game. I will admit that it does not live up to all of its potential, and that its short length and lack of choices make it hard to justify the $10.00 price tag, but I do feel that this game is worth playing for anyone who has a fondness for Dungeons and Dragons and for femboy hentai. Despite the game’s short length and low budget, I found it to be quite enjoyable. Critical Hit is a short eroge visual novel released in 2016 and it is the first game by developer Tsukiware.
