RPGM - Completed - Summer Memories Plus [v2.03 Deluxe Edition Unrated GOG] [DojinOtome/Kagura Games]

I've played H-games for a long time but few touch me as much as this one did. Not only is it sexy but its fun, funny and heart felt. Events with Rio were well thought and wonderful. Yui's events were so sexy but also kept in line with her character. And finally Auntie's events scratched the itch I had when I first decided to play the game. This game should be put on the front page of what a good H-game should play like. 10/10 if you haven't played this and Winter yet you're wasting your time with any other H-game.

One of the first hentai games I played and is such a memorable experience for me. The characters are great and the OST is amazing. The progression system in this game is amazing and the minigames are challenging but not frustrating! One of my top 5 favorite games and would easily recommend!

I would give four and a half, but I can't.

I guess I won't give it five just because it has some bugs, and although they may be hard to find, I stumbled upon three of them. Otherwise, great game.

The gameplay mechanic of having a limit of thirty days is not something new, yet making a game that handles this time frame of gameplay well is not easy. And the developer achieves this well.
The game is not (at least in my opinion) grindy in any way. There are repetitive tasks but they are so easy it is no bother. Speaking of tasks... it is interesting how every task has the same controls but changes in mechanics, I loved that!

Also, speaking about the fun part now, drawing and animation in this games is actually really simple (animation, for example, being just two frames for the most part), but I don't know why that still does it for me. Maybe it is the story and content itself, or the script. When every scene ends it just leaves me wanting to see the next. Great progression.

Speaking of progression and gameplay... I love how the game is re playable. Never (except maybe one or two really good games) I replayed a porn game, but after the first run with this game I immediately started a second one since I knew there was content I missed.

And for the story in general it is ok.
So yeah, four and a half stars is my actual rating. missing that half a star because of bugs I found.

Been playing this game for years it is so well made, the art is lovely and the cousins are all gorgeous in their own right!
I love the mechanics of it, it doesnt get repetitive and helps me keep up with basic math after being out of school for so long. X3

I give it 4 stars, but like...a low four stars, like if I could give it a half star I would.

It's a good game, but not my taste. If you're not into sex for sex sake, this game fluctuates between a 6.5/10 and 7.5/10.

I honestly beat it primarily because of the gameplay loop, it's a fairly standard time/resource management game where you juggle doing homework, building relationships, buying important items and upgrades and engaging with new game mechanics/side stories that unlock as you advance further in the game.

Honestly, I think I'd probably give this game 5 stars if it weren't for the flavors just not meshing well with me and the main characters not really having...goals?

It's unapologetically a hentai game, in fact it's almost the archetypal H-Game to the T. It has a hentai plot with hentai characters, and for that reason I honestly don't care about anything but fishing and descending into rampant capitalism.

I was gonna try and play through all the side stories for completion sake, but honestly my game crashed and I don't feel strongly enough to boot it back up.

My favorite character literally isn't even any of the girls, it's a side character who is a kid who is clearly a protagonist ripped straight from a completely different genre in the middle of an existential crisis.

If Mentai were the protagonist I would be infinitely more entertained.

But as is, it's a great game with interesting, if slightly TOO challenging mini-games, with a standard shota hentai coat of paint.

Do I think it deserves to be as highly rated on this site above other games?... Partly, the gameplay is undeniably compelling enough for me to sit through sex scenes which I don't personally enjoy much-

But there are much better games with better gameplay, better story, better characters, and even better hentai that just aren't rated as high because they're not as well known.

I respect it for what it is which is a damn good and solid management sim/mini game compilation, but if you're someone who unironically plays adult games for the plot, this ain't it chief.

7/10. Take it or leave it.

Edit: I may have been a little harsh on this game, it's got some rough...center? Honestly in a weird way, it's got a 6/10 main story and 8/10 side stories, I stick with my original score but have changed my perspective on 100% completion. There's something special here, but you gotta go look for it.

The true Summer Memories...were the friends we made along the way.
Sex is for summer, but Menko is forever.

I would have been a straight-A student if I had this sort of performance gated H-Game content when I was in school.

I appreciate the pacing and day-cycle management aspects of the game. Some may see the mini games as a bit "grindy" but it's easy to overcome with upgrades and items. I don't know that I have a unique insight that hasn't already been posted regarding this title, but there is a reason the title endures as one of the top rated games on this site.

My first impressions where that the main 3 girl characters looked a bit generic at first glance. which is my main complaint with this game but a miniscule nitpick in all honesty. After getting that bit out of the way.

Overworld/ ingame visuals are excellent some of the best in the genre. also pixel art H animations which is always a +. H scenes also go over the top at times which for me personally is fantastic. voice and sound work is decent here aswell to elevate that an extra lvl.

Gameplay loop in terms of progression is fun, also some mini games here and there. Also like the summer life vibe, definitely hit the spot.

This game is a classic. Nice complete experience nice H scenes good voice work, Great girl selection and decent gameplay with a very cute overworld art style. Overall very little to complain about. An h game in which you'd probably invest quite some time.

Gameplay: It is a life management game. You level up stats like intelligence etc. To do that, you need to do tasks. Some more tasks are unlocked when you progress the game and the relationship with the characters. It is grindy but not too bad. The tasks are not that demanding. They are easy to do. While leveling up yourself, you are also 'training' the women to be more lewd. This unlocks more possibilities. Most events and scenes are bound to time. During different daytimes, you get different events. So, timing is also important here. What disappoints a little bit, is the given time limit. You have a certain number of days to gain affection. Game will end with the progress you made. In the end, you reap what you sow. But after completing the game once, you can restart it in 'god-mode' with the stats of your previous playthrough, which makes unlocking everything easier. The story is also fine, reminds of lewd slice of life. At the same time, the game can be rather time consuming. So, it is not a game you can complete in 1 or 2h.

Frequency of scenes: It is balanced. You get satisfying rewards for your grinding.

Dialogues: Length of Dialogues is fine. It is focused on life management, so, there won't be alot of text. But there still is.

--> All in one even the grind is kind of fun. The rewards and the animations are also good. It just can be frustrating, if you wanted to unlock 100% everything, since the game depends on event timing (daytimes) and has limited number of days, so, it ends with your progression. Out of 10 points, this one is definitely at 7 or even 7,5.

Probably one of the best H-Games I have played of it's kind!
Not much to say only criticism I would have is a personal one, I am a small breast lover so it is lacking in that department, but heaven for big tits!

We need more game like this. A sim that lets you wander in a small town and interact with npc on a deeper level ( σ ͜ʖσ )

Art is great.
Sound is great.
Gameplay is a bit grindy but not bad.
Animation is great

100/100

This is great game even for hentai game.

Perfect art,
Balanced, yet not boring gameplay
Both animated scenes and hentai art, with great style

And thirty days of pure gameplay and content with ten endings!

I also love how ntr scenes made in this game, they pretty natural.

Dojin Otome is undoubtedly one of the finest eroge content creators on the planet, I've already beaten this game millions of times and it's always beautiful to see how the plot, your choices, interactions and everything works perfectly, very beautiful and well done.

Spoiler Free review for Summer Memories Plus[v2.03 Deluxe Edition]

PROS :
- Decent Storyline and Characters.
- Great Mechanics, Places, Events and Mini-games.
- Quite engaging in a fun way.
- Have good amount of sexual content.
- So much to explore and find out.
- Needs a lot of time (~10-12hrs), to complete the first gameplay but new game+ with old skills and resources unlocked is great addition.

CONS :
- Requires bit of grinding and skill to complete the mini-games.
- Some events heavily depend on luck and leads to so much wastage of time
(Eg:- In an event to collect different ratings of bugs and fishes, can't capture a single rate-1 bug to complete the task of bug lady.)
- Art could be bit improved but not that inconvinent.

One of the best games I've ever played. I was very sceptical of this game at first as I didnt really like the look of the art and pixel style, but I am very glad I decided to try it. The voices are cute and add to atmosphere of the game. I like that there are multiple characters and the taboo incest factor is really well done too. I do like that the characters have their own personality (kinda) and are not just dumb bimbos. I like the shota and sleep sex. Overall, this is just a really well-made, polished game, which can't be said for most lewd games.
I aam generally not a fan of time constraints in games, but I feel like this game does it well and I unlocked most of the scenes in 1 playthrough. I definitely would replay this game.
Easily a top 5 game
8.8/10

I'm not a fan of the "Shota" tag, but this game is awesome. I mean literally great gameplay, Shota don't bother with me.

Score: 8/10

Fun: 9/10 - A lot of mini-games that are not boring, and funny,

Story: 9/10 - Cool, solid story, completed game what to add? Feels like everything on-place.

Gameplay: 9/10 - Yes, yes, yes, 30-day timeline, you have RPG, so need to up your skills, buy them, and increase abilities.

HGraphics: 7/10 - Pixels(tbh I like it). I would say it is enough quality, but not the best that you've seen.

Kinky: 6/10 - Is Shota kinky enough? IDK, I like other tags like brainwashing and etc, but it is good.

I feel good vibes after this game, it was fun and calm, you know, it fixed my soul after the scars of summer. But to be honest most RPGM games - are worse, so in f95 I will place a 5/5, but ofc you can find many interesting games.

Just like how the 3 stars said, for me it is average.

Gameplay is simple and all, figured everything pretty quickly as the days goes on, story is fine nothing bad from what I played, characters are pretty unique as there are interactable characters outside the main heroines(?).

What a complete turn-off for me is that the MC is a kid with his horny level times 500% and very insensible. Dude, what are the parents teaching the kid on their household? Scenarios like the kid just hump on someone's ass is just stupid and I'd like to delete the memory in my brain.

Being stupid or dumb is one thing, but acting stupid because horny and lust proves 0 level of self-control.

Ok, at least it's a porn game, I could say the goal is just to spend your days and make memories as the summer goes on, but what can I say? : p
Porn side it's pretty basic, but never forget the 'types', there are many pervert scenes and actual sex scenes.
Seems ok to me, bye.

The word "masterpiece" is overused a lot, but after finishing this gem (base game and DLC), I don't blame anyone using that word here. Despite some small flaws here and there, this is a full 5 stars game; the positives greatly outweigh the negatives.

In short, this is a free-roam, sand-box VN type of game. You know the deal: played with a mouse to click on things and advance the text, a small map with locations you can move to, some mini-games, day-night cycle and events that you can trigger to advance the story, etc.

POSITIVES:
+ Power fantasy, wish fulfillment of a sh*ta dominating his aunt and cousins (and others too!)
+ Cheating/Netori! You fuck their wife, while the cuck sleeps nearby! (Lot's of sleeping sex with the girls too!)
+ Focus on big butts! (big tits too)
+ Great pixel art. Pixel art sex with different positions and variations.
+ Great CG's for each girls events, and very sexy events too. Even the drawings in the diary are sexy wtf?!
+ Simple and easy gameplay with a neat and intuitive UI. One handed play is nice!
+ Nothing fancy in terms of writing, just a short and to the point sweet story of summer vacation.
+ Good sound design all around: sweet music and voice acting for moans.

NEGATIVES:
- Is a little bit grindy, nothing too bad really but there is some small amount.
- Translation is leaps and bounds above the usual MTL, but there's still some ocasional miss-translations and bad grammar.
- The animations are decent (and they are enhanced by the game's writing, theme and voice design) but in the end they are a bit too simplistic and somewhat similar no matter which girl you go for.
- Some unavoidable water works (golden shower, pee) in a handful of scenes, so be aware of that. The game is so good that I managed to tolerate these scenes. Still, not my thing and I wish there was an option to disable it entirely.
- Lack of quest log or proper in-game guidance. Nothing to worry about since the world map is small and the game very simple that you can just go at your own pace, but still some type of progress markers for the different girls and events would be nice to have.

Well the art is so-so, so to speak... BUT with more girls, bigger map & more polished animated scenes? This game is surely a decent template for any of future H-games. Basically, it's a super fun H-game with an obvious weakness in visual department (especially the 2D sex-animations) and the limited number of harem characters (only 3, plus extra 3 outside the house).

Other than those? It's an easy 7.5/10 quicky fun!

One of the few gmaes where youl really try and try to finish specially with multiple endings, First few run trough's will be rough and will take a while to understand but once you get the hang of it youl be able to get any ending you need or want and if you really need to follow the walk trough or use the full save that was provided. over all anything Kagura games touches becomes one of the few good 18+ games that have been produced. Highly recommended.

Good story, Good game, Good Graphics. The only downside is that it took me so long to find it, and that the official version on steam requires an uncensored patch for one of the characters. Wanted to leave this review before the sequal Winter memories came out in English, and to remind that if you like a game here please try to support the official translated release for without monatary support more will likely not be made.
