The game is not difficult per se, if you're used with this types of games the difficult is lower, however the gameplay is a terrible enemy against you which impacts the Otaku playthrough (hardest difficulty) and your patience.... in the others difficulty levels just grind to upgrade your equipment will suffice.

 

The rest of the trophies are easy, most of them have a room for miss and you carry over to new game+. Also after beating the game once it enables an option to receive hints which dialog helps to get the route of each girl.

I vote 3/10.

 

I spend almost 20 hrs in first playthrough on Normal to finish 91% of sub-missions to get more good weapon and clothes for upgrading later, also need to collect money for 1 million Yen. With the weapon and clothes piece are at 999, the otaku mode is easy to handle, however, I have to retry 3 time during the final quest where you fight bunch of hyper vampires before you can reach final boss. It's hardest fight on Otaku, I would vote 2 if there is no fight like this in the game. Fortunately, my partners can survive this battle. Make sure you give them good equipment when you play on Otaku mode.

 

Took me around 3 hrs to finish Otaku mode, so I would recommend to play the game 4 times for 4 trophies. You can make a separate save however it takes most of time to reach the final boss and you don't want to deal with the hyper vampire fight on Otaku mode again. . It's possible to unlock all clothing item trophies in 1 playthrough as long as you spend your time to strip ppl (I got level 87 in 1st playthrough).

the platinum difficulty isn't hard . But I would say this game is not a good game ... When there are more enemies in the screen the game will be laggy and you need to wait a few seconds to see the npcs when you enter a new place . These are really annoying because you need to change map frequently .

I voted a 3. Nothing is really difficult at all, and Otaku mode is no big deal with 999 equipment, and learning how to guard and counterattack. I enjoyed this game very much.

[eXaphor]

Just platted this game on Vita, so I give it a 3.

 

Since this game has very serious issues on the Vita version(freezing, laggy etc), especially during NG+, I decided to spend most of the time on my first playthrough to unlock most of the trophies, such as collectibles and battle arena, which leaving with only endings and flyers trophies for the next playthrough.

 

As for the next playthroughs, I only focus on getting flyers and do a speedrun for each endings, as well minimize strip combos during battle due to reports of constant freezing by users while doing it, and luckily for me, the said problem didn't happen (except for few lags).

 

Otaku mode didn't poised much problem if you have upgraded most of your equipment to 999 (especially for defense), since most of the enemies can inflict more than 2000+ damage on the latter stage of the game, so having at least 10k+ HP on each equipments are advised. General tip when fighting lots of enemies is to do few combos on it, and if got hit, run around to find some space to heal, and go back to hit the enemies again.

 

Overall, it is a fun game to play (well, minus the issues), and worth to play on Vita, IMO.

3 for me

 

This game is done well as no matter how many times you play it all the stats toward trophies are kept and will continue after a new game has started.

[CanIreallybetheHero]

A 4 for me, because i took Shion on the Otaku Difficulty!

Otherwise a 3, the Sword from the final Boss helped me a lot!

[MrUnknown625]

3. The first run on gamer was actually pretty frustrating, subsequent playthroughs were really easy though with 999 equipment. Took awhile to plat, had to do 5 playthroughs to get enough lower body clothing, that's what took me the longest. Fun game once I understood what was going on, at first I really disliked it though.

I had bumpy road on my 1st playthru since i played it on Gamer mode and i didn't rlly understand the gameplay that well. Had to retry few times bc of it lol

 

Anyway the game is so much fun and i've enjoyed it a lot more than i thought i would be. Thinking if i should go for ps3 version as well since it has separate trophy list

i give it a 3 as well, i started on Normal/Casual myself to get use to the fighting system. defiantly one of my to 5 most fun games on PS3.

[Shinobi X]

Gave it a four since it wasn't that hard to platinum.

[Wandering Fish]

I'd say 3/10. Wasn't too hard. Still fun game!

[TheDearGunther]

I voted 3. Otaku was a cakewalk for me because I had gone overkill with upgrading equipment, which took a bit too much preparation. I had both Nanashi and Shizuku (my sidekick during otaku) at 999 for weapon and clothes.

 

The most frustrating trophy for me was the 12-strip chain, which seemed very random. It would always end at 11 at most, even with a least 16 pieces of clothing blinking red.

 

This game is done well as no matter how many times you play it all the stats toward trophies are kept and will continue after a new game has started.

 

That was definitely the best feature in the game. I wish other games would adopt the same principle, instead of having you redo it all when you miss one specific thing.

Easy enough plat.

 

Took me 5 playthroughs to build courage for the Otaku run. I was surprised that it was quiet easy. I died zero times.

[osoi otaku]

Plat in 26h.

 

I'm giving the game a 3 for difficulty.

 

One advice : DO NOT start your 1st playthrough in gamer mode like the guide says. If you do so, then it's at list a 6.

 

As for the game itself, one word to describe it: LOAAAAADING

[pc-ox]

Vote 3. Otaku mode not hard if all equipments at 999.

[Naimadday]

3/10 Gamer is a good start point and if you save Otaku for your last run you'll be OP anyway so it's an easy platinum amazingly fun though I don't know why no one really played it.

[starcrunch061]

4. I went Otaku on all playthroughs (except first, of course), and did everything in the game (all clothes, all arena battles, etc.), so it isn't that bad or anything.

 

Surprisingly fun game.

[Ryukori]

I voted 5/10. I played the PS4 version.

 

The hardest trophy is easily the trophy where you have to chain-strip 12 articles of clothing. This is especially hard in the PS4 version because the button prompts are so fast that you have to predict what the next prompt will be beforehand. In the PS3 and PS Vita versions, you get slightly more time so it's a bit easier to get this trophy on those consoles.

 

Otaku difficulty was a joke, especially since everything carries over from New Game+. That being said, the first playthrough will be very difficult if you start on Gamer difficulty like the guide suggests. I personally recommend starting the first playthrough on Easy difficulty. You won't unlock the Otaku difficulty after, but at least you'll be more prepared and less frustrated for your playthrough on Gamer difficulty.

[kraven_15]

I gave it 5... wasnt particularly difficult but the learning curve for me was pretty steep on first gamer playthrough using the plastic bat once the bosses sword came in tho and i found out how to upgrade weapons... well, it was pretty cake from there, even on otaku.

 

I recommend saving shion for last since its so different storywise from the rest of them... just a sidepoint

[Blade_of_Ruins]

A 3.

Mostly due to bad judgement (accidentally sold my Godlike weapon on Otaku run before the final battle.)

My personal review 4 out 5. Fun game:applause:

[phisaki]

with a guide this is an easy 2, without it the score would be a 5. fun game overall.

[Arturia]

I give it a 4. Mostly due the fact it was a pain to find a place for the 12 strip combo and the facing of all those Hypers on otaku difficultly cause if they got you down it was game over even with the best gear. But overall nothing else was a issue as you got many of the clothes and battle trophies in time and as long as you paid attention to the ads then there wasn't much missable. An alright game nonetheless!

[LightningCharm]

I voted a 3/10, just because Otaku mode was a little difficult. But this was a very enjoyable game, and it's now one of my favorites.
