"While many of the visual novels that are released in English today are simply text based games that players read through and make choices, there have been many that involve everything from strategy-RPG battles, formation battles, and even those that involve puzzle solving. Frontwing, best known for their Grisaia series, has decided to dabble a bit with the latter category by releasing a tile matching game called Purino Party. With this being the company’s first attempt at releasing their own English game in the West, is it worth your time?"
Hardcore Gamer: Purino Party is a mashup of dating sim visual novel elements alongside the core match three gameplay. The better you play, the more the various women of the cast will fall for you. The Steam release will be all-ages with an option to download a patch to unlock adult CG scenes.
Hardcore Gamer: Japanese company Frontwing are known for their history of producing visual novels such as the Grisaia series. However, it looks they’ve started to pay attention to what western fans like as they recently announced a new game which looks strikingly a lot like one popular with Steam gamers.
