March 2020 Eroge Releases

Did you need more games to keep you busy while you’re stuck at home? Good thing that there’s a few promising ones this month, such as Hulotte’s Ore no Sugata ga Toumei ni!? Invisible to Suuki na Unmei and CUBE’s futuristic Kami-sama no You na Kimi e. GIGA is remaking AXL’s Koisuru Otome to Shugo no Tate Re:boot THE “SHIELD-9”, while ninetail’s alchemy RPG Soushin no Ars Magna should keep you bound for hours. Stay safe everyone.

At least there are a better series of releases than last month, while I can’t think of anything worth pining for there is a good range of choices. What is even more noteworthy is that even if some are poorly made in one area or another, they don’t feel as bad as what makes them inferior isn’t because they are boring generic copy paste eroge.

February 2020 Eroge Releases

There’s a choice of isekai games this month, from SMEE’s slapstick HaremKingdom to TOKYOTOON’s Marco to Ginga Ryuu, which combines both traditional anime and cartoon styles. GIGA also has their spinoff Full Kiss S, while SukeraSomero offers the yuri title Oshi no Love Yori Koi no Love.

A month full of the worst kind of game. All besides one are just boring rather than good or bad. Or rather than boring perhaps nothing special or median for eroge is more appropriate. The sole exception to this is just weeb bait, so pretty dull month.

January 2020 Eroge Releases

Happy new year! It’s another light start with only a half dozen games. The highlight is Cabbage Soft’s kemonomimi café title Amairo Chocolata, drawn by Shiratama and Korie Riko. DESSERT SOFT’s Kami-sama no Shippo ~Etogami-sama-tachi no Ongaeshi~ features the twelve zodiac animals, so most likely at least one of them will appeal to you. Maybe the rat? It’s the Year of the Rat after all!

Happy new year. Though sadly not off to a great start for the year for eroge. Nothing this month is much more than decent, though one or two may be worth playing depending on your tastes. Just don’t expect anything to be too memorable a month later.

December 2019 Eroge Releases

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Did you wish for a cafe chara-ge like YuzuSoft’s Cafe Stella to Shinigami no Chou? Or maybe a dungeon management spinoff title like KarinProject’s Suzukuri Karin-chan? It isn’t all coal this year, so you should have ample games to play over the holiday break. Perhaps you’re already playing them now! (Zen will probably add his comments later when he’s free.)

Merry Belated Christmas, and Happy New Year at this point. Still I have to say aside from a few this is actually a decent month of average to better than average releases. Aside from the late post due to various reasons I’ll consider this a good month.

 

November 2019 Eroge Releases

It’s not often you can have things both ways, but in HOOKSOFT’s Docchi no i ga Suki desu ka? you can either take the lead with your girlfriend, or let her do so. Your decisions are also critical in the two RPGs this month: Astronauts Sirius’s Chaos Dominas and catwalk’s Yuusha to Odore!. For something much darker, there’s always BUG SYSTEM’s yuri title Manakashi no Yuri wa Akaku Somaru.

While not a particularly great month, nor are there many releases in general It is nice to see some slight turns towards a more positive direction. Sure it seems like the industry is dying, and in a lot of ways it is, but it would be nice if a lack of more business oriented thinking towards eroge allows people who actually care about the games they make to come back.

October 2019 Eroge Releases

It’s hard to be excited for a month when there’s only six games. Applique’s crowdfunded Cross Concerto has technically already been released on Steam, but the package version will be out this month. GIGA’s Ai Kiss continues their school setting series, albeit with a new staff. Cabbit tries to recreate their past magic with the mysterious Kagi o Kakushita Kago no Tori.

Boring month yet again. Not only are their few games but most aren’t even up to the usual standards as sad as that is. I will certainly give thanks if next month can finally improve the releases we are offered.

September 2019 Eroge Releases

What would you do for love? The romance story only for you may be in Marmalade’s Study§Steady, provided it isn’t delayed again. Maybe you want something light, like Lass Pixy’s Little Sick Girls ~Osananajimi no Koibito~? Then again, nothing is stronger than a sibling bond, as you will see in Applique’s Cross Concerto.

Another empty month. Good news for backlogs everywhere and those who want fandisks. Otherwise the only one actually worth looking at this month is Cross Concerto, the rest are either nukige, fandisks, or nothing special.

August 2019 Eroge Releases

Nothing much to see here, just a bunch of onee-chans and kemonomimi girls. Lump of Sugar’s Wakaba-iro no Quartet is probably the best pick for the month. Go enjoy the outdoors while it’s hot!

Short month without too much of interest sadly. I would normally be happy to see a month of older sisters and animal eared girls but I would rather they have more meaning to their existence other than archetype gimmick appeal.

July 2019 Eroge Releases

A couple highly anticipated sequels are coming out in time for the summer: Qruppo’s Nukige Mitai na Shima ni Sunderu Watashi wa Dou Surya Ii Desu ka? 2 and BaseSon’s Shin Koihime†Musou -Kakumei- Ryuuki no Taimou. ASa Project continues their slapstick comedies with Ren’ai, Karichaimashita, while Heliodor’s Ryuusei World Actor is a promising debut title. Clochette, Marmalade and 3rdEye also have games out this month, so there’s lots to choose from!

A rather odd month for me honestly. Mainly because I may not be especially excited over any title yet things are generally positive this month. There may be some questionable choices in titles but none that are absolutely guaranteed to be terrible. Feels weird to actually have hope despite eroge showing some of the usual warning signs. So lets all hope my negativity is just being bitter and jaded towards the industry and everything turns out for the better…

June 2019 Eroge Releases

Summer is upon us, but where are the summer games? The closest is probably tone work’s nostalgic drama Tsuki no Kanata de Aimashou. Navel’s sister brand Citrus debuts with Tasogare no Folclore, while CLOCKUP’s DEAD DAYS offers a different genre for those interested. Meanwhile, I’ll be a responsible onii-chan taking care of my imoutos in Tinkle Position’s fandisc Onii-chan, Asa Made Gyutte Shite! Yoru Made Motto Ecchi Shite!.

Summer is upon us, but where are the games?* Three actual titles four if you count nukige, rest are all fandisks or all ages yuri. More of a backlog month for most of us, which I personally do not mind at all as my backlog stretches far past the horizon.
