Every once in a while, a horny gacha game comes along that manages to rise above the noise, delivering a surprisingly solid experience without resorting to the usual predatory tactics.
We're looking at you TenkafuMA!, the debut offering from SG-Arts. This is really... actually... maybe... possibly... pretty... good?
First things first: yes, this is an H-game. It's 18+, it's lewd, and it's not afraid to show it. But beneath the veneer of anime tiddies and raunchy humor lies a highly addictive gacha RPG. We're not going to go as far as to say that it "respects your time and money", but we've seen a LOT worse in the space.
You play as a hapless dude who stumbles into a parallel world filled with magic and maidens. Cue the harem antics and fourth-wall-breaking jokes. The writing is sharp, self-aware, and refuses to take itself too seriously. A welcome and refreshing change of pace from the po-faced "chosen one" narratives that plague the genre.
TenkafuMA!'s character roster is also really good; a satisfying mix of archetypes and fan-favorite tropes, each with their own unique skills and abilities.
Some of the most meta-defining units are low-rarity characters that everyone has access to. No need to whale for that one broken SSR waifu - with a little strategy and elbow grease, you can clear most content with the girls the game just hands you.
That's not to say there's no reason to pull. Higher-rarity characters offer more unique playstyles and flashier skills, and let's be real - we all want our favorite anime archetypes on our team. But the gacha rates are surprisingly fair, and the game showers you with enough free currency to scratch that itch without reaching for your credit card.
Special kudos to the translation team. The English translation is top-notch, with nary a "Sorry, my English is not very good" in sight.
TenkafuMA! is a lewd gacha RPG that blends tongue-in-cheek humor, strategic turn-based combat, and a heavy dose of fanservice.
Developed by SG-Arts, this unapologetically smutty adventure casts you as a dimension-hopping hero on a quest to "conquer" a harem of gorgeous monster girls.
It sounds pretty familiar, and it is, but the execution here is better than most games of its kind.
Unlike many gacha games, TenkafuMA! eschews the usual "save the world" tropes in favor of a more lighthearted, comedic narrative.
You play as Caesar, a self-proclaimed ladies' man who stumbles into a parallel world filled with voluptuous vixens. Armed with a sharp wit and a supernatural libido, you'll navigate this land of fantasy and fetish, recruiting an army of alluring allies along the way.
TenkafuMA! is a turn-based RPG with gacha elements. You assemble a team of up to five characters, each with their own unique skills and attributes for you to finesse. Combat is a strategic affair, requiring careful consideration of your party composition and skill synergies.
The game's progression is fairly standard for the genre - you'll summon new characters using premium currency (in this case, Demonite), level up your roster using EXP potions, and evolve them using specific materials. There's also a base-building element in the form of your personal Castle.
TenkafuMA!'s gacha system is relatively forgiving compared to many of its peers.
The rates for top-tier characters are decent, and the game is generous with free summons and premium currency.
However, as with any gacha, there is still the potential to sink a lot of money chasing after specific units.
Dirty pleasure this one
