A mediocre tie-in vn to a fantastic anime. Its got some problems even if you're going into it as a fan of the show expecting cheap (but enjoyable) fanservice. Even with fluent Japanese the actual romancing comes across as a bit trial and error, and most of the scenes are largely disconnected from an overarching narrative and take place with the character of your choice roleplaying in a VR simulation. Their personality still shines through those scenes and you still have an acceptable amount of banter outside the VR room but it left me wanting more than I got. Your enjoyment of the game will depend on how much you like Nadesico's characters and how much you want to r o m a n c e them.

As for me, I got a kick out of some of the routes and felt funny at several points while r o m a n c i n g my precious pun-loving weirdo. I liked Izumi a lot a lot despite her limited contributions in the show itself but the game helped in cementing her as one of the GOATS. (Again, despite the various flaws within the storytelling.) I ended up pretty satisfied with her ending (and a bit empty inside) even if it took me a repeat playthrough to get it.

But yeah, if you love Nadesico and can understand Japanese, go for it. Otherwise, I mecha-n't recommend it. (hehe)
