![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes you’ll see a title that really goes all-out on the art, and yet oftentimes these sorts will also not be able to hold your attention for long due to middling gameplay. See, the thing about H-games is that, due to the low budget usually involved, titles usually offer both mediocre porn and gameplay, and we forgive them this because hey, it’s a niche genre. I’d say we’re off to a good start so far. I can gladly confirm that titty detail did not in the least suffer for it, though. Hell, it doesn’t follow the usual H-game template – there’s porn, yeah, but the focus clearly went into making the gameplay as polished as it could be within the limits of the Ren’Py visual novel engine. My point is, Sakura Dungeon does not follow the usual Winged Cloud template. I’d argue that it’s a very successful template and that rather than fault a particular dev for what works for them, we should focus on finding devs that fit our niche, but I digress. That’s a discussion for another article. That’s understandable – developer Winged Cloud has been accused of churning out anime titty games that all more or less follow the same cut-out template.

Instead, I should focus on whether the game can appeal to people who are not necessarily addicted to cel-shaded cartoon girls (i.e. I soon realized, however, that the question was a poor one to make. So, when I played Sakura Dungeon and got sucked into a nerd-shaped black hole from which I only emerged some four-odd hours later, I did stop to wonder: ‘Am I this easily swayed by anime breasts and magic explosions?’ ‘Yes,’ came the prompt answer. It takes a truly bad experience to make that status wear off in any appreciable amount of time. You throw some swords, magic and cute anime girls into something, and I essentially become a drooling ‘tard for a while. I may be a bit biased, is what I’m trying to say. You ever played Labyrinth of Touhou? Wanna hear all about my tabletop RPG campaigns? I should probably stop. I have three-hundred hours clocked in Dragon’s Dogma and can sing ‘Into Free’ from memory. I could probably write an essay gushing about how magic works in the universe of Kinoko Nasu’s Fate/Stay Night and Kara no Kyoukai (though I will never be able to explain how a man responsible for that also conjured up material as retarded as Nero being Saber in a transparent skirt and Thomas Edison being a furry). I counted the days until the release of Fault: Milestone 1 and its sequel ( Milestone 3 never ever). I blazed through Monster Girl Quest in two days and a night, and cried like a little bitch at the end. This is exemplified in Sakura Clicker, which mixes and matches face and body templates to randomly generate its enemies, and allows the player to customize a heroine character and has outfits from Sakura Spirit as paid DLC, allowing the player to perfectly recreate various characters from that story using a base rig with very few options.Allow me to get one thing out of the way – I am a SUCKER for fantasy VNs and fantasy video games in general. Only Six Faces: Character portraits during the novel sections tend to have near-identical eyes, nose, and mouth placement.Idle Game: Sakura Clicker, released in 2015, focuses on clicking Cute Monster Girls for coins, spending those coins on passive upgrades, and then resetting to gain more coins in subsequent runs.Excuse Plot: Really, it seems like plot in their games is an afterthought and only serves as a means of putting their characters in incredibly lewd situations.Cute Monster Girl: Many of the titles released focus on one as a protagonist, such as Sakura Fox Adventure, Sakura Succubus, and Sakura Alien.Bleached Underpants: In order to avoid the restrictions of Adult content on platforms such as Steam, the majority of the company's works are released as safe-for-work versions requiring external patching to restore uncensored content.Winged Cloud is an English-language Visual Novel developer, best known for the creation of the Sakura series, starting with Sakura Spirit in 2014 and continuing to the present day with over 45 different entries. ![]()
