It came with its cheery eyes
Concealing its cold demise

It's another cheerful game
Like that one that has just came

Looks friendly,
As friends acts, usually

So far no one screeches
And yet the game glitches

Cold empty stare
Behind stagelight glare

Still image of a female
Postmortem of a nightmarish tale

Heads Up Display
Have its tricks in gameplay

The texts repeats
A similiar horror feats

These influence must have came from Her
But everyone put her in another folder

Enter a place where no one miss
Each one who fell into the abyss


There, 20 lines for the club homewor...
Wait, it's not this game?

At the Salvato HQ:

Artists : "Wait, wait, how do you want us to draw them?"
Marketing : "Kawaii, Doki-Doki, and tightly constrained, yo."
Chief : "Really? How are we going to describe this kind of story clearly to the customer then?"
Marketing : "Literally."
Writers : "How are we going to describe the character and how do we treat them like the customers as such if that was your saying?"
Marketing : "Club 'em up."
Writers : "So, you were saying that you know what title we are doing all this time?"
Marketing : "It's written, all over you."

I was flying into a battlespaceship named the Sunrider as a crew. The captain looks like your generic harem guy with his childhood commander. It seems clear to see the fate of us so I play another VN. After several battles, handling my single gun turret furiously reloading to fire crooked white hot laser at the enemies, I found that this universe is richer than many of the cheap VN Booby baits. This is a war worth going through, if only there are more BattleHips it would be better.

We crews usually joking at many things in the lounge. Whether its captain's liquid-colored hair, Riding the Sun, Commander's Command of Anger, Asaga as a gamer, and Chigara the child in the hangar, or the fact that the Ryder's drivers will be riding the driver of Sunrider.




Its a VN with RNG strategy gameplay.
Fun for experienced strategist but casual gamer can learn from this game too.
The story is meh, characters are meh (with some exceptions), but the battle dominates the fun.


Speaking of the Combat or gameplay, please check the wiki for the HATE mechanic first before CTRLing to harder levels.
