Chromo XY Reviews

Fun game with different endings and routes based on your desicions.

I have yet to write a review of a product without finishing it, and wont write a review of a game that I refunded, Well, I'm gonna bat 500 on this one. The graphics are fine, as far as the art style is concerned. The music was okay, but at least one track was fading and then rebounding loudly which wouldn't have been a problem, but lowering it to a decent level made the fade much too low. I'm a bit of an audiophile so I know a mistake when I hear it. The story was so-so, and since it has a sci-fi bent to it; I can forgive little inconsistencies. Now on to the unforgivable errors as of less than an hour of gameplay. Inconsistencies in narrative and graphics/sprites. When the narrative says a girl is trying on a skirt and blouse, and the sprite shows her in a pair of slacks and blouse; I wonder if I have found a glitch. When next it says she is trying on a dress, and she is in a pair of pants and a shirt; I wonder about quality control. When next a girl is supposed to be in lingerie, and she is in her daily sprite (a dress BTW); I begin to think that I should just punch Eject. If you're gonna change the graphic in the first two cases anyway; try to make them at least consistent with the narrative as it breaks immersion in the story. The lack of change in the third example is just lazy. I have stayed away from Dharker Studios titles because I am not all that interested in yuri, and they seem sorta yuri-centric to say the very least. I'm not against yuri, or even yaoi as long as the story is good; to each their own, but in this day and age I sorta shy away from agenda driven corporate narratives. I doubt i will finish this title, but hope springs eternal... Best I can give is a 5/10 on Chromo XY

Okay, you play as Shaun, who gets roped into an experiment by his best friend Rebecca. It has some… unexpected side effects. Like he becomes a woman. Depending on your choices you can end up with either Rebecca or your friend Greg. And also stay a woman, or return to your original gender. Now, Greg is only available if you stay female. Rebecca, on the other hand, is a bit less choosy. Decent for those who like this sort of thing.

Premise: A young, female scientist and a young, male lab assistant are good friends and roommates. They work at the same research facility. The scientist is working on a youth pill. She gets her friend to try it and it has the unintended effect of turning him into a girl. This visual novel was lovely, charming and interesting. Good story, good art, and sexy. From other reviews, I gather that you can get different endings. I only played it once and am very pleased with the ending I got. It took me 5.0 hours to get through it, but I am leisurely and the art is so good that I stopped often to take screenshots. In summary, this is about gender changing, done tastefully. It gave me some insight into how the other side lives.

Gotta say, it is always fun having short games like this that have multiple endings. And the endings are so diverse too. Quick, easy game about being turned into a girl and then some. Suspend your disbelief and hop aboard champ.

This game Pissed Me Off. <> In actuality this game's story was dull until the Gender Swap happened. Then the Main Character's Childhood Friend who coaxed him into taking the pill, at first denies and barely helps him as he morphs into a female. Once it's obvious that SHE SCREWED UP, she tries to persuade him not to tell anyone and let her fix it on her own, instead of seeking help from the SCIENCE CENTER they work in. That's as far as I got before uninstalling.

game is rather short for what it costs, either increase length of vn or make it cheaper

Not a bad story about trying to make a pill for immortality but it goes horribly wrong. Change the main character gender. CG is pretty good but it spoils some of the dialogue at times.

As a fan of gender bend stories i actually liked this game, these kind of visual novels feel rare to me and i wish we had more. The writing could be better but it was good enough for me to enjoy the story even though some of it did not exactly seem plausible but still. If you want a visual novel with gender bend then i can highly recommend this one. Plenty of different endings but not very different ones except a few. There are plenty of artwork you can unlock by making some specific choices here and there so you wont unlock them all by just doing the different endings. Some of the art feels like the quality drops a little bit becouse the clothes can look so weird in atleast one of the pictures. As if they are made up of larger pixels so i didnt really get that. Anyway a averge story which i feel is defintely worth playing through if you want gender bend, nothing special about the story that makes me go wow but i feel like this satisfied my whish for a gender bend VN.

Teases you into thinking there's going to be a yuri/lesbian ending, then [spoiler]Rebecca turns into a guy at the last minute.[/spoiler] That kind of bait and switch is not cool.
