Fun and good like before but my only problem is the translation.
Not to nitpick them but its just recycled translation.
I won't recommend it unless they change their stance in inactive accounts being deleted.
They should at least change it to half a year or a whole year before deleting them.

Things I had a problem with :
-Inactive Accounts get deleted
-Opening shows Twin Saga which is supposed to be Astral Tale
-Said Aeria points yet its supposed to be Astral points on some pictures.
-Some part have the words cut in half, probably screen resolution problem.

Overall, games run smooth and good.

Compare to their initial launcher which had many issues of redownloading, this one manage to download easily at the same time the gameplay seems more bug free than it first came out, glad to see many fixes happened and now it makes me happy to go back being able to play again.

Account link was so easy friendly with no annoying stuff, thanks devs!
Manage to get my account from mobile and PC to steam.

Last Chance to purchase it before August 18, 2023.
Creating this review for all those who are planning on buying it before Illusion shutdown.

First to address is, do not be blind by its cover as a sex game! Since you'll miss its features if you pay attention to the sex part since most people who play the game would surely get over it after a few hours.

On to Topic:
The Ultimate Anime Character Maker is what's advertised and that is correct since I, from my opinion haven't found a character maker that surpasses this game. The game is called "Koikatsu Party" which is the english version for the JP version called "Koikatsu" while the base content of the game is a character maker and some simple sex with the characters you made.

With a patch(Special) from the company, a story mode can be added as well as a dating sim to which you can befriend various main character and even your self created character, aside from your own, you can also get characters created by others by downloading them and adding them in the game folders this ranges from famous characters from different Anime, Games, etc.

Another patch(HF) from the community can also add various QoL to the game as well as mods that ranges from clothes, poses, maps, etc. This patch seems to be a must since it adds a chunk of MODS from the community.

Your main game play in the game is creating your character mostly female but male can also be created but with less to use since female characters are the majority being in a all girls school, after creating your character you can have sex with it and this sex can be a lot from various acts like blowjob, boobjob, fellatio, vanilla to hardcore, etc. otherwise you can date it, or use them for the character studio.

The character studio is where you will spend your other half of the game since with it, you can create various pose/scenes to screenshot or record for MMD purpose, this is where most screenshots from different sites were created using their favorite anime/game characters to create various scene to which isn't limited to lighting's of dark theme, to expression, to body physique control and other parts.

Lastly your character isn't stuck alone in the game for you can export it and transfer it to other programs which you can make use of the 3D Model of your character to create videos or player character in other games.

My verdict for the game(Rate):
Game-play : 6/10
Graphics : 8/10
Sound : 8/10
Customization : 10/10
Community : 11/10

Main Key-points :
-Character Creator
-Character Studio
-3D Modeling
-Character Sex

Do I recommend it? Yes! I Love It!
Creating scenes in studio with your favorite character and editing your favorite character with other clothes.
Buy it since the company is closing and you might not regret it after purchasing it.
May the people from Illusion have a nice future for creating this masterpiece of a program.
Also to the people who created MODS and shared them, you guys are the best!

Be warned as this review has spoilers and bias in it.

D.S. or Dal Segno is a visual novel develop by CIRCUS who made the famous Da Capo and other VN like fortissimo//Akkord:Bsusvier, D.S. is set in Kazana island a pseudo paradise where everyone is always happy.

The protagonist itself can be renamed, and like other VN it has its own routes which are not going to let you think too deeply unlike other VN that might need your brain to predict some stuffs, the VN itself is a ball of fluff that each route has its own pursue of happiness, and yes the game itself delves into sci-fi so its not really a pure reality only route so expect some unexplainable things in there.

My verdict is a rating of 8/10 for the VN.
CG - 9.5/10
Presentation - 9.5/10
Narrative - 5/10
Story - 6/10
Sound - 8/10

For the routes, I order them as this :
Ame > Hazuki = Himari > Noeri > Io

Ame - 9/10
Hazuki - 8/10
Himari - 8/10
Noeri - 7/10
Io - 5/10

Ame route :
- The route for Ame was the most memorable one since its quite the quest to understanding true happiness and not just happiness, for an AI like Ame, it was a really good build up for her from how she questions the obvious things that people tend to forget most of the time, the climax part for her route reminded me of Plastic Memories and Isshukan friends Anime.

Hazuki route :
- The route for Hazuki was a bit lackluster at first for me since MC keeps only helping her at the student council room and Hazuki being the oujo-sama character can't show herself to MC, but as the second part came where she shone to be a memorable character seeing that the MC needed to be a detective just to put the puzzle that was happening to them, This route probably tackles if the happiness that happened is true or fake.

Himari route :
- The route for Himari was equal to Hazuki but not lesser, the story seems good since the bantering of the two was like I was reading a Monogatari LN, the turning point of the story came when Himari revealed that she also has the same powers as MC but even higher, so the story tells whether the happiness that was felt is real or not.

Noeri route :
- The route for Noeri was conflicted since she's the MC cousin, most people would be off put about her but the way they handled how MC and Noeri could fall in love is good since it tackled their memories even as children so it wasn't just an instant love, the plot twist in the climax part was a really 180 degree to Noeri's character, this route probably tackled that happiness is what you make.

Io Route :
- The route for Io was rather the most dull among the others and it was quite a disappointment seeing as she can play words and even do lots of stuff, though at least her route is fun to read and MC interaction for her was like having nerves of steel, this route tackled that old happiness vs new happiness.

Last Note : "Happiness comes in many forms, and at times lays dormant in one's subconscious." - Ame

Short Review :
Finish the game and got the true ending, its a very fun experience even though its a short game.

Back to topic, The game is a spin off from the main game of Inti Creates called Gal*Gun series in a more specific title the Gal*Gun Double peace, since it features the four main characters there being Kurona, Kamizono Shinobu, Kamizono Maya and Houdai Kudoki unlike the main title, this game follows a more retro style graphics with anime 2D style for cutscenes. The game itself feels similar to a castlevania game but NOT the usual metroidvania where you level up and back track for loots.

Things to look out for :
- The game starts with Shinobu and Maya and the ability to start solo isn't allowed.
- The main gameplay is having you traverse the demon castle using Shinobu and Maya alternately.
- Both Shinobu and Maya shares the same Weapon points which are used to cast sub-weapons.
- Shinobu is a range character that can deflect projectile with her own but her attack power is weaker while Maya is a melee character that has higher attack than Shinobu but at the cost of a lower hp and range.
- The two siblings can do a joint attack using the Purge gauge which can be filled by time or picking up Pride.
- The castle has checkpoints(Birdcages lits up if you move towards it.) where you will re-spawn if one of the Kamizono dies or you reach a game over(-1 retry).
- At the start only two difficulty is allowed being Casual and Veteran, Legend difficulty is unlock after clearing the game once and its difficulty increases with just having one of the sisters die which will result a game over(-1 retry).
- The game lets you back track stages cleared(ex. Courtyard, Clocktower, etc.) after defeating the boss in its stage though it doesn't let you immediately spawn at the end but at the start of each stages.
- Back tracking for HP up, WP up, Defense up, etc. can make exploring fun and rewarding.
- Some items are needed since the game has multiple endings.
- Some bosses are easier for Shinobu while some are easier for Maya.
- When reaching the second half of the story, both the Kamizono siblings weapon will be upgraded making them easier to fight in a solo format.
- Sub-weapons can be upgraded later in the story(ex. Maya's Umbrella charges faster while Shinobu's Knife now throws three).
- Later in the story, Shinobu gains a sub-weapon to summon hearts to restore HP making it easier to fight even during boss battles.
- When you collect all the student Panties a cutscene will happen and only then will you be able to find Shinobu and Maya Panties(The event won't trigger if you haven't gotten all the student panties yet).
- When looking for Shinobu and Maya Panties, their location isn't fix their position is the last two warp hole you haven't gotten in the castle.

Last Note : I thought I would enjoy Maya's gameplay more but felt that Shinobu's gameplay was more fun when she got all her sub-weapons especially the Grappling Hook and Anti-Demon Rocket Launcher.

Short Review :
Creating this review since the game might get taken down since a newer RE4 is getting release later.

Back to topic, The game is an award winning game from the RE series that manage to make a name of it as some people call it the best game of all time including its own series and after playing the game was only I may tell that they are not lying. The game features Leon from RE2 as the main protagonist and must find the missing daughter of the president named Ashley who was spotted in a rural town in Spain after getting kidnapped. The game manage to influence lots of future games and the most part of it was making the over the shoulder or third person view a popular aspect. Due to its over popularity, the game was released to multiple platform and among those steam manage to be one of it.

Things to look out for :
-Since its an old game, even lower end PC can run it and it doesn't put much strain to newer PC so a lot of people can enjoy the game.
-The game is fun, story wise from its gags, suspense and even horror aspect that they manage to blend well together.
-The game does NOT feature zombies unlike RE1, RE2 and RE3 but features Plagas that are like Parasite mutants.
-The story contain puzzles but the kind of puzzles that won't make players get enough to start scratching their head unlike RE1 and RE2.
-The game might look old but it has interactive environment from shooting a lamp that can cause the ground to ignite or shooting thrown objects at you to deflect them.
-The game features inventory system or briefcase, which lets you manage from guns,medicines,grenades,etc. which are quite fun to manage as you make it look neat and clean.
-The game features a shop that lets you buy and sell from guns,maps,etc. It also allows you to upgrade guns which will make them even more useful for a reasonable price.
-The game has collectibles scattered throughout the game which can be combined for a higher price when sold.
-The game has another story mode called Separate ways(Unlocks after beating the game) and you use Ada there to which you revisit the main story from another perspective.
-Many things get unlock once you beat the game(Costumes,Game modes,Difficulty,etc.)

Last Note : The game is very fun and enjoyable, why not try it first? Your mind might understand after playing it.

Slight warning that this is a GACHA MMO not your usual MMO so expect some salt if you aren't careful.

Tower of Fantasy is an Open World - MMORPG(Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game), The game is a cross platform for the PC version, Mobile version, and the newly released steam version. The game is set in a post apocalyptic world, it starts with a character who is in danger who later becomes your edited avatar. The game can be clunky sometimes but the experience is good and not bad, so if your looking for an MMO why not try it and see if you will like it?

Things to look out for :
-You can use the same Account in the PC, Mobile and Steam version.
-The game has a stamina system.
-Your character is default at the start after proceeding a bit of story(prologue), it will then load your self-created avatar to the default one.
-Story isn't forced yet is needed to unlock certain maps.
-Your character customization isn't fix and can be edited later if you dislike your initial edit.
-You can also use Simulacra(Story characters) as your avatar.
-Simulacra has passive abilities if you raise their friendship.
-Costumes can be edited in color but selected partial parts only.
-Mounts are obtainable even as an F2P(Free to play) though it needs heavy grinding unless your lucky.
-Mounts have levels and the higher their level the more color variant you unlock.
-There are many costumes obtainable even as a F2P, and gacha costumes can be bought via DC(Dark Crystals) even as F2P though not recommended unless you really like it.
-The strength of your character depends on your CP NOT based on your level.
-There are no class system but has 4 roles which depends on your weapon combination.
-You can only equip 3 weapons which their combined stats becomes your overall.
-Each weapon has different moveset and most weapons(The good ones) comes from gacha.
-You can almost hit a hard pity once in a limited gacha even by just clearing 100% most of the map in Aesperia.
-You can draw the gold gacha once everyday by doing daily bounty mission which takes less than 5-10 mins.
-Be sure your equip with at least one range weapon otherwise when dealt with flying enemies out of your reach = Your screwed(Possible to kill but to much time consuming).
-There is no trade system.
-Aside from Open world field bosses, there are instances for equipments and raids for bosses.
-Field bosses might drop SSR Simulacra as well as Matrices but has a very low drop rate and a chip is required to collect the rewards otherwise you can force it without one but the drop is even lower.
-Revealing an area's Omnium tower reveals that region's map.
-The game lets you teleport from waypoints to Omnium tower anytime so long as your standing still.
-Joining a team from the chat lobby by clicking the players icon and press the join team which is essential in hunting field bosses which is not recommended to solo unless you have proper gear or you are seeking a challenge.
-Relics in the game are like gadgets that adds diversity to the game from gliding, to surfing, to grappling, and even summon drones or a cannon.
-Relics can also be upgraded by shards which can be farmed.
-The game has PvP(Player versus Player) whether it is team base or solo.
-Be warned once you reach 100% in everything your only main source to gain DC is weekly mission, other ways require more effort.
-It is advisable to save a 120 red nucleus(Around 15,000-18,000 DC) to get a guaranteed draw in a limited banner to avoid Salt from the Gacha otherwise most of the DC you spent might be useless and converted to normal banner currency.
-After v2.1 update, Lin is the first Simulacra that will not go to permanent banner and is limited while the others has a chance to be put in the unlimited banner.

Edited after v2.1 update.

Last Note : Instead of overplaying it in 1 day, take your time, have fun and play it in your own pace.

Short Review :
Played the game on mobile before and after playing it again, the game has definitely aged well for a mobile game.

Back to topic, Toram online is an anime MMORPG made by Asobimo, Inc. Toram Online is also the most popular or comparable to Avabel Online at best and both were created in mobile MMO in mind and since most Mobile MMO has the auto system to auto play for themselves this had a negative review at first, but this was created without that auto play system, that part made the game's community more enjoyable for an MMO experience since it is treated like the ones PC should have.

Things to look out for :
- The game can be played on both PC and Mobile using one account.
- The player starts as a Straye Adventurer, very weak customization at the start.
- Story mode is not forced on you meaning you can play the game even if you don't play story mode.
- In order to view mobile players, you need to change your channel in the game.
- New Players can draw gacha at the orb shop for 30x.(10+1)(You can get Avatars, Scrolls, Gems, etc.)(Dunno when will this last.)
- There is no class system, the first weapon you choose is the first skill tree you have.
- You can have every skill tree in the game but getting them cost Spina(In-game Currency).
- Every armor in the game has a light, normal, and heavy mode which changes their stats and appearance(when equip).
- Even if the game is separated by zones, the game loading is fast.
- Blacksmith and Alchemist is good in the game, many things to make and are needed by the community.
- You can customize equipment with crystals or use their potential to give them unique effects like Str+5% or Atk Spd+5%.
- Progressing to the Story is hard, the key here is to quit the fight and enter again in easy difficulty.
- There is a way to get Avatars in the orb shop even if you are F2P, by doing weekly missions which gives tickets that can be converted to Avatar tickets(Please use the 100% avatar banner to get the most of it).
- Avatars can be recycled for star gems, star gems can be used to create skill gems(So you can use the skill even if you didn't learn it) and they are tradeable making it not P2W much.

Last Note : The game is really fun now since I ended up leveling faster than when I played it in mobile, but being able to farm materials in fields is still the best feeling.

Short Review (Already finished the game) :
Thank you INTI CREATES for creating this game even though playing for the first part was bad memories but the more I spend time on it the better it feels since most useful passives seems to be lock in credits upgrades.

About the game, the game story is really another what if setting for Copen seeing the prologue isekai stuff until the latter half, the characters are lovable, the new character Null is lovely and even the bosses too. Music in the game is great as always even the instrumental, the gameplay introduces new fun elements but at the same time takes some of the fun aspects.

Things to look out for :
- The game starts weak since your stuck with a nerf Copen but once you unlock most passive seems like he can become quite fun to play with unlimited bullit dash and ex weapons in overdrive.
- You can only bullit dash once when not in overdrive so the gameplay you had with Copen in GV2 and LAiX is not the same since there is no bullits and no recharging them, you have to get use to the razor wheel and pushing enemies.
- You can heal with no cost meaning you can heal repeatedly 3x since the heal has no cooldown though it acts like a skill now since it banks your current kudos.
- Hyperguard is broken your opponent will always deal 1 damage.
- If your wondering about costumes(Kohaku) then yes they have it unlockable after beating VS missions.
- The game is short last 2-4 hours at most if you only play normal mode.
- True ending is lock in hard mode, hard mode also has a difficulty spike.
- The game features dual audio.
- The ending is open ended meaning a LAiX3 can happen.

Last Note : INTI CREATES has fixed the regional pricing on some countries, still its a drop compare to the 1st LAiX but hopefully it gets a sequel since this Copen has a better personality.
