Moero Chronicle Hyper

The gameplay is kind of basic, the battles are simple, and its localization leaves something to be desired. But all of those things a bad game do not make. This game, flawed though it may be, is still a good time overall. It’s frisky, it’s fun, and it pushes the envelope so heavily that it gets away with doing things that I didn’t even realize were possible. It’s a decent DRPG for a more-than-decent price. If you’re in the market for a hardcore game that will really make you think about what you’re doing, this game might not be for you. But if you’ve got $20 burning a hole in your pocket and are looking for something to hold you over for a while (and don’t mind a healthy heaping of shock value), then you could do a lot worse than this game.

This sort of dungeon crawler can be massively addictive, and it's always good to see someone have the balls to bring a game like this over from Japan uncensored. That being said, there are lots of things wrong with this. Characters designs are lacking; the levelling and skill unlocking systems are flawed; and the story is utterly bland. Many flawed elements, but for the centre of the Venn diagram where "Pervs," "JRPG fans," Etrian Odyssey dungeon crawling fans, all overlap, there are going to be some absolutely overjoyed gamers.

Moero Chronicle Hyper lives up to it's name. It is a hyper-actualized fantasy of sex and sex objects and sex acts and anything sex related. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of raunchiness, the game fails to deliver anything that's truly charming or engaging. Beyond some goofy monster designs, it's a terribly average game all around, hampered even further by a translation that desperately needed more time in the oven.
