Happy Campers Reviews

Art was nice Story was not that great Got a few laughs out of it Gender doesn't really matter for main character Got it 75% off

A bit overpriced, but it has a certain charm that makes it stand out. Also it has a lot of "its so bad its funny" segments. Plus, large not-to-scale anime tiddies, you all know what you're really come here for. Enjoy an adventure unlike any other and be proud to play one-handed.

At three dollars it was an acceptable game. It does not need to be patched. It had some humor. It has nudity but it is more for comedy than romance. It has a talking snake to give you an idea of how serious it is NOT!

While playing I kept thinking Happy Campers is the faded copy of Army Gals. A guy stranded in a forest with a teacher and two girls. Plain story, boring dialogues, weird characters behaviours, some plastic-texture nudes. On the internet you may find free Visual Novels much more interesting and with better nudes.

First of all, yes, this game is absolutely as bad as all the reviews say. I had to see it for myself. While I agree with the badness, I also found myself laughing...a lot. And I sincerely hope that's what the devs were going for with this - humor - lots of laughs at the sheer ridiculousness of it. Because if not, I am deeply disturbed... It's also a serious stretch to call this a game. There is only one ending. The "choices" affect nothing more than a few lines of dialogue. There is one actual choice of something you can do or not do that branches the story slightly but brings you quickly back to the same ending. As for the 18+ content, I consider the game itself to be 18+ It is extremely inappropriate in a lot of ways to begin with. All the patch does is add two anatomical details. It adds nothing else - no new scenes, no new dialogue. Again, not recommended, but you might enjoy it if you go into it like I did expecting it to be bad and you aren't easily offended. I enjoyed this for the moments of comedy (some great dialogue) and a few instances of surprisingly deep conversations about relationships, but I can't call it good overall.

Quick summary: Razzart Visual does a Sakura game. When this VN showed up on my Steam frontpage, I thought it looked pretty trashy; but when I saw it was from the studio behind the fantastic Starlight Vega and Love Ribbon, I decided to take a chance and see if it was more than met my eyes. Well... not quite. [b]Graphics: 7/10[/b] Most of the art on this game is truly beautiful: backgrounds are gorgeous and detailed, CGs are well done and in a way that flows seamlessly with the general art style of the game... but character sprites do leave a lot to be desired, and the humongous proportions of the entire cast quickly becomes embarrassing rather than titillating. Which is problematic when it's the one part of the graphics you're supposed to focus on. [b]Sound: 4/10[/b] No voice acting whatsoever, and the music is rather average; not good enough so I'd go and buy the OST, but not bad enough I'd turn it off either, and for the most part it's a good fit. [b]Story: 6/10[/b] No way around it: this *is* for the most part the trashy eroge VN it appears to be at first glance, with a plot as ridiculous as your average Sakura game, and not much more developed either. Characters are shallow, situations contrived, fanservice aplenty, and oh dear Lord the snakes, why. And yet it's kinda fun when all's said and done; it feels less like an amateur making stupid mistakes, and more like a professional writer having one drink too many and deciding he no longer gives a crap. Thus, the game does have brief bursts of brilliance, both within itself as well as in a more meta context--the sheer length they keep the whole snakes subplot going is so audacious you can't help but laugh. [b]Longevity: 0/10[/b] Took me only 2 hours of playtime to 100% the game, and outside of two choices near the end, whatever choice you get affects one or two lines of dialogue at most. So, no. [b]Conclusion[/b] To anyone in the market for a Sakura game (you know who you are), I'd strongly recommend this: it's got far better backgrounds, no censorship, and is cheaper to boot. To anyone else... see if you're in the mood for playing a game that actively has you laughing at it instead of with it. Still hitting Recommend because, well, I did have fun after all, I just don't think it's for everybody, or even most people.

This was my first eroge visual novel, and I was dissapointed. Playing a man or woman, as featured in the game description, doesn't matter! [list] [*]Con: Choosing your gender matters very little. [spoiler] You're obviously the same guy in the Lizzy sex scene, even if you chose a woman for your gender. The novel just omits a few lines about your "sausage" if you pick a "woman". [/spoiler] [*]Con: The artwork is sparse. Tripling the amount of unique art would make this a pro. [*]Con: You can only actually "get with" one girl, the other two do their own thing. [*]Pro: The two that do their own thing is the most yuri part of the game, but not gonna blow your mind. [*]Con: Decisions are few and matter little, this isn't a deep choose-your-own adventure novel. [*]Pro: I learned that you shouldn't poop near your own camp, it attracts animals like Bears. [/list]

Wow, this game... Where do I even start with this? Maybe I will mention that I really liked the other VNs by Razz (even somewhat enjoyed the very much mediocre Catch Canvas). Here you can find traces of similar talent, with some well-written dialogues and very, very nice looking art, both when it goes to sprites and CGs. Even the backgrounds were all pleasing to the eye (although they could’ve been stock assets) and the music at worst felt adequate. When it goes to production values, there’s really not much to complain about here. [b]The story though… It’s insane, incredibly pervy and consistently switches from surprisingly serious segments, with actual meaning behind them to pure absurdity and borderline disturbing fanservice. It also presents you with an apparently mentally challenged person as only pursuable romantic interest.[/b] To be fair, the H-scene connected to her is easily avoidable, but that also makes it maybe the weirdest eroge out there, where you’re actually encouraged to avoid any sexual encounters as the protagonist unless you want to feel like a scumbag. The only place where sex will always happen is between two other female characters, where you basically peek at them making out – not that it really bothered me personally, but I know it’s not what many people expect from this kind of VN. What's also worth mentioning, most choices in the game have only very minor consequences, not really affecting the general storyline. [b]As many people noticed already, the protagonist gender choice doesn’t seem to affect anything[/b] – not just nothing major, I literally don’t remember any line of text referring to the fact that protagonist was female when I played as such. Also, at some points it was clear that situations were thought of as if the MC was male. Even in Catch Canvas, which wasn’t brilliantly written in general, this was done much, much better. To be completely fair, I can’t say I was bored with this VN or had a completely awful time with it, but it did feel like the weirdest and at times the most uncomfortable thing I’ve read on Steam. It definitely made me laugh, but I don’t think it can be recommended unless you’re really curious (like I was) or you’re looking for the kind of “it’s so bad it’s good” experience. [b]It has its merits and visuals are at times REALLY nice to look at - but be warned, you have to leave any expectation of sanity and good taste at the gate, when you decide to enter Camp Bearfoot.[/b] -------------------------- PS If you're interested in quality western VNs, check out [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32980295/]my curator page[/url].

I hope that this game was a test to see if they could make money with the absolute minimum effort invested... and that the test fails. Play as a male or female protagonist - not that it matters, because you spend almost all your time as a passive observer, and in the one instance you don't, you'll see references to your male genitalia even when playing as a female. [This one might have been fixed, so kudos for that.] Visual novel about camping with three sexy women - and seeing them do baffling, nonsensical things just so they can get naked and/or contort into awkward positions. Watch two of them have fun with each other, and enjoy your fill of the mentally deranged, snake loving third one. Interactive choices - one of them MIGHT even change the story slightly! Uncensored content available - and the pics that aren't outright bizarre are actually nice to look at. Too bad they were wasted with this horrible narrative. This one is definitely the worst game so far from the publisher, and I advise you to give it a wide berth. Unless you have a fetish for demented girls making it with snakes, then this might be your only hope to get that itch scratched.

I wanted to like this game, and I really wanted to recommend it. But unfortunately I can’t. I enjoy Razz’s work quite a lot and Zetsubou’s writing as well. However, Happy Campers is a badly written visual novel with the weirdest dialogue I’ve probably read so far in a fan service game. The art style is alright, I have nothing to complain about since this is a fan service game. The story is… Okay? I mean, I’ve seen worse. It starts somewhat decent to be honest, but then it just turns out bad. The MC doesn’t do s*hit, they only look at things happening and they barely interact with the girls. You can only romance one girl, Lizzy. And she is the dumbest character I’ve seen in a while. She talks and acts like she has some sort of mental disability, and it wasn’t cute at all and made me uncomfortable. I wanted to romance the other two since they seemed a bit more interesting (at least not Lizzy-level-of-personality), but you can’t. Your choices are a) being with Crazy Lizzy or b) ending up alone. Also, the dialogue is really bad and cheesy. I’m glad that the developers changed the description of the game based upon the feedback at least. I still like them a lot. But please, remember how bad Happy Campers turned out before you think about writing another similar VN. I don’t want to put this title as a “stain” in your career, what I’m saying is: everyone has their ups and downs and this title is, at least to me, a down. But don’t let that discourage you. It happens, it’s part of life. I wish you both good luck with your next releases, and hopefully they will be better than HC. I’ve seen you do way better works. 2/10. I wish there was an ending where Jason would appear and kill them all.
