I apologize for not including more information.
The main reason I listed those “pack” choices was due to two things: one, they offer more of a discount and two, they seem to offer a variety of themes as to help give me a wider scope of this genre.
Personally I have purchased to this point:
Brave Soul (Animenation)
Viper Paradise (Jlist)
Love Love Show (Jlist)
Milky House Memorial Collection (Jlist)
JAST USA Memorial Collection (Jlist)
Transfer Student (Jlist)
Although I haven’t written my personal reviews for any (because I haven’t finished the JAST USA Memorial and Love Love Show yet) I do see some things I like and dislike thus far.
Brave Soul: I have always loved AD&D, RPG’s, etc. The only fault I can see in this one is the combat mod is a bit dated. Plays like a Zelda holdover. Few overpowered weapons and seemingly (just from experience) either something was left out of the game OR I haven’t found the right combinations to unlock a few “odd things” I keep looking over. CG’s and storyline are well above expectation. Overall B+
Viper Paradise: What could have been. Half of the game cards either don’t work or have a very limiting effect. Still, this game is somewhat addicting and enjoyable to play and does take a bit of planning to master. Mosaic, I dislike, but apparently comes with the territory. Overall C+
Love Love Show: In fairness I haven’t finished it completely. Still, this game is an outright buncha poo in my opinion. Winning the games (on some) requiring redundant clicking hoping you make matches for the first three or four just so you have a chance…CG’s are very good and the games function well but it still needs ALOT to be enjoyable. Overall D
Milky House Memorial Collection: Great games and a nice, but small CG collection. To much to list but Nonturnal Illusions was great but a bit linear, not too much replay value. NI=B- May Club was great as far as replay, nice CG to a point, but really lacking in the overall scope (size) of the game. MC-B Overall B
JAST USA Memorial Collection: Still playing. Runaway City seems great and really enjoying it. Will wait until I finish it and the other two on this one.
Transfer Student (Jlist) What could have been. Storyline was like a tree with three branches. CG I really liked but the choice making seemed rather like counter-logic. (spoiler) “My sister is not home yet, could be in trouble! I’ll tell Mom! Oh, forget about her…mom’s lookin’ kinda good right about now…” Okay Dokey. Maybe a little more branching, greater scope to the game, and it felt like (something I verified) some of the girls should have had endings…but vanish? Overall C
Hope this helps. I really am drawn by the anime art form, but a good story is what keeps you. Even good gameplay, in my opinion, is very noteworthy. If this was too much detail for anyone, I do apologize.
