Conception – I like the characters, but the gameplay needs work

Also the story and some of the dialogue is really vulgar. Not that I expected a game subtitled “Please Bear My Child” to not be vulgar, but I’m surprised how low they sunk. Way beyond innuendo and well into ‘rubbing your face in it’ territory. If you thought Ar Tonelico was too subtle and you […]

Finished Genso Suikoden: Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki
