Sometimes I get stoned and buy games like this, and sometimes they're actually pretty good, like this one. It's a simple little water gun tournament game with solid controls, some addictive collectable cards, unnecessary anime plots and even more unnecessary (or very necessary?) nearly pornographic fan service. I would normally say that you get what you pay for with lewd anime games like this, but this one's actually far above that and the water battles are surprisingly fun and the unlock system is surprisingly addictive.

I thought I was getting a non-game with some mildly lewd content, but I actually got a pretty fun third-person shooter and much more nudity than I thought. The water fights are either you against either horde mode NPCs or a team of playable characters in a timed deathmatch, except with waterguns and, instead of dying, any losing combatant has to sit there while you spray their bra or panties off. Then you use your winnings to buy trading cards, which are upgradeable skills to be used in combat, and go to the dressing room to customize your waifuse complete with groping controls. It's all as morally and socially questionable as you'd expect from a japanese game like this, but it's also more fun than it has any right to be.

It's just too bad that the internal economy for unlocks and trophies is completely busted. After finishing all single-player content, I only had less than half of the card collection and wasn't even close to the various trophies, for example the one for maxing out all characters, which is a process so expensive that I took one character to max during the story missions and tournaments. Hate it when a decent game is a completely unrealistic completion.

Much better game than you'd think, that also has much more budget money thrown at it than you'd ever think, but also falls short on not having enough tournaments to compete in and not giving out enough rewards for the game to be realistically completeable. Fun for a couple of evenings of shamelessly perverted play and that's about it.
