ATOM GRRRL!! Reviews

First of all this VN is nothing for the weak willed, strong language non stop. Also only read Atom Grrrl!! if you are prepared to read the entire thing (2.5-3.5h). I read this on in 2 siting and was extremly unsatisfied, but im gratefull i gave it another shot, i read the entire rest which tock me another 2.5h. This VN has a similar Arc set up as the LEGO Movie. Somewhat unsatisfying through out the movie, but the final makes the entire thing pretty great.

I bought this ages ago, but only with Covid happening did I finally play it. I was not sure what to expect, so discovering it was pretty much Taratinoesque and reminiscent of Pulp Fiction except with cast of lesbians. It was strangely compelling despite slurs and racial epithets. It really is a dark comedy of errors and the fact the story takes places mostly in two days just adds to it. The cast are even fun and though definitely not the greatest people - none of them are good people, some are just better than others, it still kept me engrossed. Would I recommend it? Yeah definitely worth one play through.

Set in Las Vegas, this kinetic novel deals with the underside of paradise. Some shady individuals, others down-on-their-luck. In the center are two girls who are wide-eyed… at first. Through their experiences, will they bond (or more) or will they fall through the dark places in this city of lights?

so i just got done reading this short visual novel. ok let's start off by saying if you're a sensitive person or are offended by very offensive language then this visual novel is NOT for you. don't complain if you buy this and then see the harsh language after. you were warned in the reviews. 2nd part is there is adult content if you buy it uncensored or patch. so again if that stuff offends you move on. don't cry over it. ok so now i recommend this if there is a sale because i don't think this vn is worth the full price. not for how short it is. was it entertaining to me? yes. the story wasn't like omg its the best type. it did make me laugh a few times on just some of the things mentioned. if you like family guy, american dad, south park, robot chicken etc. anything that can offend others then this might appeal to you.

"Pulp Fiction with lesbians" is an apt description, at least regarding the over-the-top stylized violence and racial slurs, not so much the masterful nonlinear storytelling. It's ridiculous and fun, and the central romance is actually really sweet, but in the end it never really comes together into something cohesive. Mostly I'd recommend it on a good sale if you're interested in a VN with an American setting from a Japanese perspective, since that's much less common than the other way around. [spoiler]I made an [url=https://www.uncensorpat.ch/game/432490]unofficial uncensor patch[/url] but I don't know if it's really worth it, since the H scenes are pretty short and uninteresting.[/spoiler] ~ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/31589634-Kimchi-Tea-Reviews/]Kimchi Tea Reviews[/url] ~

Atom Grrrl!! is a mess of a story about a couple of west coast American lesbian mafia girls that go after a cousin because she set up a casino on the first girls' turf. Most of the scenes in the story are horribly modified scenes from Pulp Fiction written by Japanese that are trying to sound American, complete with dumb slang. There's the diner scene, there's the clean-up-the-dead-guy-in-the-car scene, there's an attache case, etc. Strangely, I can't tell if they tried too hard or not enough; either way, it's just not very good. The graphics are pretty poor -- it looks like the backgrounds are 8-bit color pixelated photos of real locations (Las Vegas, Los Angeles, etc) with sprites drawn on top all in 800x600 resolution. Everybody is fully voiced in Japanese, which is a nice touch, and I suspect that's why the game costs $10 full price. As far the Steam release -- it is censored graphically though you can pick up a patch if you search the interwebs, but it's a mosaic-censored patch. There is also an "uncensored" version of the game available on Denpasoft and while it does have one scene that is not mosaic-censored like the patched version, there are still reduced-mosaic censored images in the rest of the game. Denpasoft has always been pretty good about distinguishing between uncensored and mosaic games, but I think in this case it would be more accurate to call it "reduced mosaic" instead of "uncensored". I'm the dumb one for buying both versions (they were both on sale for $5, so not the end of the world), but I can't recommend this game to anybody. It's just a mess.

Call this a game is like calling an audio-book a movie... but I don't like visual-"novels" at all and this "game" reminds me, once again, why.

Jessica returns to the US after studying abroad for a while, and it's up to her to clean up her gang and deal with her troublesome cousin. The story really isn't very interesting, and I ended up skipping much of it. Basically you have a couple of edgy anime girls who are suppose to be these bad-ass gangsters, and everything is SO edgy just for the sake of being edgy, and then the translators who probably thought that the game needed just a [i]little[/i] bit more edge decided to use all the edgiest words they could think of. At first I was pleasently surprised to find out that the game is fully voiced, however I soon learned that most of the voices are not very well done. I especially found the main character Jessica's voice really annoying. There are only a few illustrations in the game, and even when playing the uncensored version which adds a couple of scenes the gallery only consists of 12 images, most of which can be seen in the intro/trailer. Honestly, if you've watched the trailer, there is barely any point in actually playing the game. I wasn't expecting this game to be great, but it's not even decent. It's just bad. At least it's only a couple of hours long.

I must say, I'm rather disappointed. Long story short, this is what happens when someone mixes Yuri with Pulp Fiction. Sounds awesome, right? Wrong! It seems like a great concept but I'm pretty sure the developer was drunk and asleep when this was cobbled together. To start, when Pulp Fiction jumps around with the timeline, it's not too hard to follow. When I played this, I had to stop and think and try to decide where in the timeline it was with hardly any context. Next, the art is just pitiful. It looks like hentai flash games I played when I was in high school, only worse. I went so far as to patch the game so I could get the full 18+ experience and half of the H scenes are just randomly thrown in there. I couldn't even fap to them and I wouldn't if I could. The background music wasn't too bad at first but I turned it off about midway through because it just grates after a while. There's lots of cursing and slurs used but they seem forced. Almost like the whitest kid you can think of in a slacks and a tie saying, "What's good, my n*****?" Just so ridiculous he wouldn't even get his ass beat. And the overall dialogue? I didn't laugh, I didn't crack a smile, I almost didn't bother reading the damn frames so I could get through it faster. But I didn't. I forced myself to read every word and I was done in a scant 77 minutes that still lasted entirely too long. This game is a bigger disappointment than Panzermadels a game I actually knew existed and followed only to be let down by its hype. It's just a cheap, boring ripoff of Pulp Fiction that actively tries to be bad. A flimsy script, lousy graphics, cheesy H scenes, and an ending that would fit better in some 80s American cartoon just makes me wish I had never even bought the game. The best part was the announcer at the title screen whenever you would mouse over an icon. Do yourself a favor and go use your money on something else. Don't even pirate the game. Just run. 1/10

Bought it to support Yuri without expecting much. Went through it in just over 2 hours. I don't think it's worth the price (even at 10% discount). I have no problem with profanity and some of the banter was witty, but since it is constant it doesn't really work as comedy. There is no 'straight man' (and here I mean the comedy stock character) to make it work. The single relationship is rushed and is not really an integral part of the story. The story structure is well thought out but incredibly short. There are a few parallel threads that intersect a few times then they all meet at the end. There I was expecting a big finale but it was over after a few lines. They wasted some good potential there.
