I’ll never pass up an opportunity to play with Tohka. She is, of course, the very best of best girls, there’s no saying otherwise (unless you want to be wrong) and I won’t hear anything else of it. The point is that Date A Live: Ren Dystopia is an opportunity to spend some more time with her. And the others,…

Read MoreI just want to start this review by saying that I love Tiara, the blue-haired secondary protagonist from the Fairy Fencer series (it’s a series now that there are two games). Like, I really, really, love Tiara. As far as anime female design goes, she’s my third favourite character ever,…
Read MoreI love love. I believe only those with heart made of coal could think otherwise, because love is such a happy feeling. Being kidnapped? That’s less happy. And that’s what happens in Charade Maniacs: a girl is kidnapped but ends up finding love as a result. The game is already…
