Time Tenshi 2: Special Edition Reviews

It's essentially the same game as prior but with a little more dialogue, art and character story added. I understand why they released the previous game as is but if they continue to create games with two titels for the same game, I might be tempted to start being more frugal with my Steam spending. Otherwise my review of Time Tenshi 2 covers this game.

Cool scifi VN with cute girls and interesting story. A lot longer than previous one, also with a lot more choices to make. Definitely recommend :).

Good excuse plot to progress the game. Nine out of ten men likes to watch big boobs get even boobier.

Even though the fan service is tremendous here, I loved the story as well. No matter what, I had to just play it(read it) through in one sitting as I couldn't just put it away without knowing what happens next. A big thank you to the developers for putting all I like in one game!

This is great and terrible all at the same time! It's great because you get to know the characters really well, and it's not just a bunch of porn. It's terrible because you REALLY want the characters to win. It's great because the ending is satisfying. It's terrible because it takes forever to get to the ending. I'm recommending this...but I really just want to say it's a "maybe-you-should-get-it" thing.

Alot of VN's of the "ecchi" kind have great visuals, but skimp on the plot (story plot mind you), but this VN has both pleasing visuals and a deep, engrossing story. Nothing against the Sakura games (ive played them all, and loved them dearly), but its nice to have a good plot, with the plot. Highly reccomend any fan of VN's to pick this up.

If I had to describe Time Tenshi 2 in one word it'd be, evolution. Because this is such a step up in the first game in everything. Writing, pacing, the characters, the villains, the relationships between the characters, the player, the art. I have never played Time Tenshi (2015), and I don't ever desire too. Because it's from what I've seen and been told, a complete slog to play, with the worst padding for a vn that's not very long. But you don't need to play it, since this game tells you the important bits from the original without any pandering "as you know" moments that suck someone out of an experience to deliver bad exposition to the audience. Very nice story. Every scene has a point, there's no, "oh we completed our objective let's fight for no good reason!" moments, and the interactions with the girls one on one with the player are just wonderful. The villain, is just awesome. Great design and great motivations. Plenty of fun fetish scenes, really well done. But the characters and story are what make them so good. Without them the expansion and stuff is just, there. They're empty if you were to remove the great characters from them. If the expansion itself was removed, nothing important was lost. Because the expansion is just the icing on cake. Without the cake the icing isn't anywhere near as good. Cannot recommend this and Time Tenshi (2020) enough.

This game has a tad too much fan service in my opinion. In the prequel, the fan service didn't draw attention away from the story. There was a balanced between it and the narrative. But that's not the case in this instance. Most of the character commentary focuses on the heroin's upper asset's. And as a result, the story progresses at a snails pace. So if you are specifically expecting a continuation from where the first game left off, you are going to be somewhat disappointed. But i'd say this is still a good game overall.

SPOILERS AHOY, CAP'N! Just finished the first game yesterday, and finally finished the second game today after I STARTED it yesterday. This second installment was a whole helluva' lot longer than the first, and much more refined... and much more boobs. Okay, realtalk for a second? Boobs aside, I love this game, it was a really, really good visual novel and I enjoyed that it had lots of choices presented to the player so this time around I felt more in control of what was taking place in the story (though to be fair, I did test some choices and they play out the same way regardless, but with different effects down the line of the differing girls opinions of you). I liked that this game was much, MUCH longer than the first one, I think I was only a quarter of the way through it when I started to worry it was going to end, about half way through it I was surprised it HADN'T ended, and for the rest of the time I was so enthralled by the story that I forgot to give a sh*t about how long the game was, which is exactly how a game like this should make me feel, I hate it when a visual novel feels like a drag. Before you think it, no, just because there are overly voluptuous women in this game doesn't mean i'm giving it a free pass, there are plenty of other visual novels out there with the exact same thing but that are unspeakably boring and feel like you're reading a text book rather than experiencing some fantastical adventure. This game manages to hold the player's attention well by alternating between the current plot, the protagonist's personal struggle and memories, the last game's plot, the protagonist's relationship with the girls he works with, and all of this sprinkled with explanations by any of the given characters, namely the Protagonist's Grandfather, Tensai. Tensai serves as a nice anchor to keep the player grounded in that 'reality' still exists within the fantasy aspect of the game, giving it a better sense of believability, especially when they start spouting legit scientific lingo that, 98% of the time actually makes enough sense that it gets your brain humming about the legitimacy of what they just proposed, in reference to aspects of real-life science, which is fun, and again serves as a reminder that the game's universe isn't something derived exclusively from fantasy; it's easy to say "The Quildiderino causes a Fliogiggy affect which prevents our Wavavik from functioning" and leave it at that, no explanation needed, the player has no way of calling into question what any of that means, and what's more it totally isolates the player from having any sense of relation to the protagonist or story at hand. Okay, i'm getting a bit off track, here's the TL;DR. Pros: - The Player is given many chances to make a choice which either impacts directly how the story will play out, or the player's relationship with any of the given "romanceable" girls in the story. - The writing is surprisingly good, if sometimes repetative (looking at you, Tessa). - The art is very well done, though I think it could have done with more variety in terms of expressions available. - The protagonist is likeable, and not a complete (key word "complete") numbnuts like most other protagonists. - The plot is pretty godamned rad, and really gets you thinking if you allow it to. - The Boobs. They do something. For one thing, yes it's attractive, but for another, they don't act like their size doesn't have real-life properties, as in, the girls actually make mention of the fact that they hurt their back and shoulders orrr that they can negatively affect their center of gravity when trying to fight. #justgirlthingsnoseriouslyifeelforyouguyspleasedontthrowoutyourbacksrealwomen - There's an actual sense of conflict between Tensai (the Protag's Grandfather) and Tensai's assistant, Michelle (formerly a hero-turned-villain-turned-hero from the first game) and the distrust Tensai has for Michelle, as well as the two's vehement disagreement as to whether their actions will negatively or positively affect time as a whole, if at all, gives a feeling of weight and impending repercussions for one or the other's actions. - The game feels long, but it isn't a drag to play. It mastered the hard-to-master feeling that most games can't give me, especially Visual Novels. The feeling of loving the game, and wanting it to last, feeling like the game is about to end because it feels like you've progressed really far, forgetting about worrying whether the game is about to end, and enjoying it to the last second. Cons: - As said, there could have been a better variety of art, but more specifically a greater range of expressions for the respective girl's default art (as in, the most common art you see in all the screenshots when they're engaged in dialogue), 'cuz some of the expressions the girls wore during certain situations seemed pretty out of place. - There are some parts that are a BIT weird, like, weirder than just some ballooning bazongas. Kinda' bordering on fetishy in terms of physical growth. - Despite the wide variety of choices, I do wish that they felt more chunky. In other words, my particular path I chose, and the girl I decided to romance, it didn't feel assss... Climactic, no pun intended. It felt like the girl I chose wasn't given the same priority as the more obvious cast of girls that you also had the choice of getting close to, but that remains to be seen when I go back to see if the story's finale is at all more satisfying in terms of the whole 'happily-ever-after' shtick when I try another girl's route. Yeah, I like 'happily-ever-after' stuff as well as 'BOOOOOOOOOBS' stuff, i'm a connoisseur of cringe. Anywho, I think the pros outweigh the cons really. I honestly recommend the game whether you're in it for the aesthetics, or whether you're in it for the story, and I sincerely hope there's yet another sequal.

I'll start this off with Silver Cow is a bad "company". They've been basically inactive for a year and a half on their Patreon hoping they could continue to milk to pledges while releasing a trickle of "we're totally doing something" updates. Half of the updates never came to fruition and are just dropped projects culminating into nothing. Getting paid to show no results is pretty sweet. HOWEVER! Taking ~800 dollars a month to produce nothing wasn't good enough for Silver Cow. They decided to create a Kickstarter to remake their first game but with the fetish content removed. The most interesting part (to me) is the stretch goals were all things they were stringing Patrons along with. They said there would be VA work and it would be on the Switch and yet somehow they became Kickstarter Stretch Goals. After a year and a half of inactivity it would also take them ~8 more months to create Time Tenshi Redux But Lamer. This didn't go over that well and they lost ~300 dollars on their Patreon. So how did the Kickstarter do? It failed after getting a "mysterious" last minute donation of ~1500 dollars (their own, I assume) putting them above the all-or-nothing funding goal. It was mysteriously cancelled on the same day it was funded and Silver Cow, being very transparent, didn't address it at all. It took them 27 days to break the silence of sitting on their buttocks collecting supporter money to announce that it would be "self-funded". That brings us to today. Currently Silver Cow is pushing ahead with Remake which would be whatever but they've also started deleting any and all criticism from their Patrons. No matter how polite it is worded. Criticism is not allowed even if you give them money so they kind of forced my hand. As for the games? They gradually got worse after 2. Paradox is straight up abandoned at this point as they try to chase the normie buck by making shovelware for the Switch. Yes, Bargain Hunter, I mean you. Frankly, I wouldn't recommend anything from Silver Cow. TT2 was their high point and then they took a tumble. If you were here for fetish stuff? Less and less as the games came out and what was there was low quality. Story? Time Tenshi 2 was serviceable but after that there was a pretty big drop going to Paradox and their other non-TT games. In the end, mediocre games helmed by a bad developer. NOW ME COPY PASTE
