Venus Blood Gaia: Taking Strategy Eroge to the Next Level
Genre: Turn-based Strategy, Dungeon Defense, RPG
Venus Blood Gaia (VNDB, official website [NSFW]) is the second-most recent entry in a series of turn-based strategy games from DualTail, a subsidiary of Ninetail (known for its Machina Chronicle series). The Venus Blood series combines immersive gameplay with prolific amounts of ero focused on tentacles and corruption. With each iteration comes a brand new epic storyline, new elements added to an increasingly deep and complex gameplay system, and a wonderful new cast of female heroines to defile and bend to your will. The protagonists are typically wily tacticians who win battles against far more powerful foes through careful planning and occasionally outright ruthlessness. These aren't your typical "you can do anything with the power of friendship" storylines. Most games feature a Law and a Chaos route which determines whether the hero's ultimate goal is peaceful coexistence or merciless domination, and Venus Blood Gaia is no exception.
Gaia's features include dungeon building, ~280 different unique units to breed / employ with ~100 different customizable skills and traits, epic boss battles with up to 36 units in play, 12 winnable heroines with 5-10 H-scenes each, and a dual route storyline: Law (harmony) vs. Chaos (conquest).
