Princess of Zeven

Princess of Zeven

Anyone else feel like this is one of the weaker games Kagura has translated?
I think it comes on a little too strong. Writing is way too on the nose, and I felt more frustrated than Leticia was in-game when she was conned a handful of times. Maybe it's just because I'm used to some of the heavier games this publisher puts out, but it comes off as way too whimsical and heavy-handed when you compare it to a lot of their titles with similar mechanics. I don't think it's any problem with the translation, just the original game.

I don't like how they gate a lot of the shops and whatnot behind h-scenes either. I feel like if you're making a game like this, gating basic quality of life like item shops behind h-scenes is kind of arbitrary and against the point of the genre. It's nitpicking because you can reasonably skip it with control and view the scene later in recollection, but imo, what makes corruption games better in particular is the choice. That the character is willingly doing these increasingly depraved things of their own will, not that they're being railroaded.
I'm just curious if anyone else feels the same way, or if it's just me who's spoiled my tastes by playing too many of these types of games that handle it differently.

Leti would never do anything lewd unless she is forced to, so it's not a mstter of havng a choice if she never even would go for choice 2.

That said i do wish the game would offer the Player the Option to just not buy the nonsense the guys in this game are trying on her.

Basically we should have three Options

1) Avoid the H
2) Collect the H
3) Beat the Crap out of everyone who tries to fool Leti with nonexisting Rules ( ater she got fooled the first Time in regard with the Inn/shop prices. )

Some of those are issues from the dev, not Kagura.

Yeah, it's a matter of this for me. You're basically funnelled into seeing all the h scenes with the exception of the handful of side ones. Even if it makes sense in-world, you don't feel like you have any agency playing it.

Like the shops. When if you think about it at all, Leticia has basically no reason to play along with any of it. You could realistically play the entire game without using them by using the loot you find in the dungeon and using the bath to heal, which is the opposite of what they want. It's a problem with the writing, the guys treat everything like an ultimatum, no compromise. The writing is just forcing her to do what they want. Hard to stay immersed enough to overlook it when there's nothing there to hold your attention, either.

Yeah, I get that. They still chose to translate and publish it, though.

Apparently it is possible to complete the game without any H-scenes (don't ask me how though), but at that point you might as well not bother installing the uncensor patch.

It is a bit extreme that you have to watch every scene of a specific tier, before the next tier becomes available. For instance, you have to watch all the topless scenes before you watch the nude scenes.

It makes sense in terms of consistency, as it would be weird if Leti would get naked at the beach, bath and weapon store, but then get shy when the item store owner asks her to pose in a bikini.

Maybe the devs should've made it possible to 'skip' scenes if you have enough points for the next tier (but still unlock the scene in the memory section).

.

Unfortunately the Game is still inconsistent in other Aspects. Like Leti getting flustered in the Casino when the ask here all this private Questions, except literally everyone in the City already bought that Info from the Broker anyway. Which makes this Scene weird for two different reasons.

1) Letis Response
2) Guys asking questions, which the already knew the Answers.

It's ultimately not a big Deal but still feels weird.
