No.
Game has a ton of excellent ideas -- really interesting and unique combat mechanics, character evolution/creation, etc are all top notch. All sorts of cool meters, positional awareness, combo techniques, etc Like, if you play the demo you'll be awed at all the cool stuff you're going to be able to do.
And then... the game is so ridiculously easy you blindly auto-fight the entire game. You never need to care about position, or combos, or even using spells. Just spam attack. Doing anything else just wastes time.
Definite pass.

I'd rate the game as a solid six. I'm insane and actually bothered to get all the endings because I ended up liking all the girls and have low standards.
Damn, there's a lot of negativity towards this game. I almost bought it on Vita when it first came out and normally I'd be all over a Steam release but after reading all this, maybe not...
But still, looks like Spike Chunsoft are really going all-in on Steam. That's good to see. A bit weird to port this before Danganronpa Another Episode considering the first two are already on Steam, though. Hopefully it's their next release.

No. I can't even put it into words.

I was hoping for Shiren the Wanderer 5 or some other Mystery Dungeon (bonus points if they can somehow get Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games on Steam, as doubtful and probably impossible as that is. I want more mystery dungeon.
Still, this is pretty cool! There are some interesting mechanics I've heard where apparently you can date characters, have children, and then have your children as part of your party? Seems pretty neat. Otherwise I've heard this isn't very good. I might try it out though! Spike Chunsoft is one of my most beloved companies, so its hard to think they'd make something bad.

Go on....

Exist Archive next, please. But more likely not for a while.
Seems like they like each other more

If they can port it, license the JP VA and still sell this for 20 bucks really makes you wonder why it seems to be such a big problem for some publishers
Well, Japanese dub might make it more enjoyable for some... I think.

Such an amazing concept, too bad the game is so blech.

This is in my backlog. Well it was.
I thought fighting monsters with a horde of weird children in a knockoff Persona style dungeon was pretty entertaining for a little while.

This game is terrible. If you want lewd anime nonsense look elsewhere because this game has extremely shallow gameplay that can't support the lackluster world it tries to build.
The characters are okay at best.
"Having children with the girls you date" isn't like, say, Dragon Quest 5 where they actually matter. It's more like a new child presents you with a screen of classes to choose from and you pick it and make a new blank slate character that has no bearing whatsoever on the story.
Really bad game, one of my few disappointing purchases on my 3DS, and not worth your time or money unless you're super curious and can get it for less than $5.

Sort of. Your order is a bit off though. You have children then you bond with characters in VN style scenes. And the children hatch from an egg after the "classmating" ritual. They're basically little monsters you form into squads to help you battle.
Not really. Those pervy JRPGs sell well on Steam. Better than some actually good JRPGs like Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter.

Damn it, misread the title as Culdcept.
I guess it's good that more JRPGs are being ported to PC and this game will be available on more platforms for the people that want to play it, but I hope Atlus isn't using sales from this to gauge the desire for other ports. I wanted this game ported to PC about as much as Mind 0.

Spike-Chunsoft is self-publishing it on Steam, Atlus isn't involved.

I looked at the title before opening the thread and thought:
"I've never heard of this game, but it sounds JRPG af."
not disappointed.

I enjoyed the Vita version enough to wishlist this.
I actually enjoyed the gameplay mechanics and the character conversations. The randomly-generated dungeons were OK but could get tiresome after a while. The only stuff that bothered were the classmating sequences which were a whole other level of disturbing. Fortunately you can skip them by pressing Start.
Most surprising thing about this game is being able to post screenshots in the 3DS Miiverse community.

I would laugh myself to death if Atlus was porting this as their first JP game on PC to gauge interest. Yet, I feel like its something they would do...

Atlus isn't involved, hence the dual audio. Spike Chunsoft self publishes all of their PC titles.
I wonder if Grand Kingdom or Exist Archive will get a PC port too.

PHEW that makes a lot more sense. Dangonronpa and ZTD have sold pretty well, I can see why they'd want to get more of their library onto Steam.

I'd scratch my head pretty hard if they ported Conception II but neither of these. Especially Exist Archive, which runs on Tri-Ace's multiplatform engine.

Kinda wondering if I should cancel my Vita pre-order for Shiren the Wanderer if it has a chance for a PC port.
