Tenshin Ranman LUCKY or UNLUCKY!? impressions

I finally played the game that everyone and their dog already played. Since another full review seems pointless, I only bothered playing Hime’s path. Also, I have a problem finishing games after playing my favorite character’s route since I lose incentive and don’t want to betray my waifu. Hime is too awesome to betray. I’m going to steal her from Zen. And I’ll take Sana away from Micchi so I have a maid.

OP

Chitose Haruki is an extremely unlucky guy. Cars try to run over him and he falls into random manholes. One day a package arrives and a self-proclaimed goddess, Unohananosakuyahime, comes out and claims she’s here to save him from his bad luck. She kisses him and says that’s her method of reducing his bad luck. Haruki, being the spineless, worthless, cockless wimp that he is, is shocked and appalled and wants her to stop. Send her to me if you don’t want her, Haruki.

Haruki then sends me Hime. Everyone lives happily ever after. The end.

Okay, not really. Read the reviews linked above if you want to know more about the story. I’m just here to gush over Hime.

Hime, who also realizes Haruki is a spineless, worthless, and cockless wimp, constantly teases him.  She enjoys causing Haruki trouble just to see his flustered reaction to everything. Hey, Haruki. When a cute, awesome goddess offers herself to you, you might just want to act like you have a spine. Or not. I’ll take her.

Fake embarrassment. So cute <3

But ignoring Haruki’s worthlessness, Hime is a funny character who’s just fun to be around, assuming you can take her teasing. She’s pretty independent, carefree and loves to have fun, but she’s not overly energetic and she knows when it’s time to be serious. In other words, she’s pretty much perfect. :D I’d become religious to have her as my goddess personal goddess.

Unfortunately, Haruki does eventually get Hime instead of sending her to me. He becomes extremely whipped and remains spineless. It would have been much more enjoyable if he grew a spine. Since almost all eroge protagonists in this true love sort of story are spineless, it must be a requirement to get girls to flock to you. Haruki is no exception, with girls surrounding him and many secretly liking him. Unlike most girls, Hime doesn’t doesn’t take this well. Her jealously is scary. Yet somehow cute.

Jealous~

Her jealous stare alone is enough scare anybody, but her powers also go out of control and things fly around or break. Haruki probably deserves her divine punishment for being such an idiot.

Even though Hime’s teasing is awesome, I think she continues it for far too long. She’s just not honest with her feelings and runs away a lot. I suppose it’s more fun for her to just continue teasing Haruki. Her deredere + teasing mode at the end of the game is just awesome though.

The game’s story isn’t very strong since it’s pretty much just about Hime learning about her passing her goddess exam, but you probably aren’t interested in this game for the story. This is definitely a character game through and through. Though some parts of the story drag, Hime, who reminds me of Haruhi + Horo, created one of the most enjoyable and funny eroge experiences I’ve had in a long time.

    I must be thinking completely differently because I thought Haruki had a spine and Hime became pretty spineless in her route.

    Well, yeah, during the part when the festival is about to be canceled, Haruki stopped being a wimp and Hime turned into one.

    But I mainly meant he’s spineless towards Hime. Haruki is pretty much Hime’s plaything. He pretty much can’t stand up to her or take her teasing. He should have learned how to respond better to her teasing.
