Monster Girl Quest Analysis

Hello folks, this is EVA-Kirby providing you readers with a full impression of the game known as Monster Girl Quest, which was developed by the developer(s) known as Torotoro Resistance. But first off, I'd like to thank Jelly for allowing me to post this info on her site. If it weren’t for her interest, I probably wouldn’t be writing this article now.

Alright, as Jelly had mentioned on this site a while back, Monster Girl Quest is a visual novel that follows the adventures of the lad known as Luka as he goes about the world bringing about coexistence between humans and monsters, who all have mostly humanoid features. Unfortunately, those 'humanoid' features are the very reason this game is labeled as an eroge, or an adult game, because just about every monster in this game will want to sexually dominate Luka in all sorts of manners possible. However, despite this largely negative fact, I feel this game has an exceptionally good story that can warrant a good serious look into.

As the game starts off, Luka is adamant about becoming a hero in the eyes of Ilias, the resident goddess of light in this game and goes off to be baptized for his journey. However, a mishap with a peculiar monster named Alice causes him to miss out on being recognized as an official hero by Ilias. Despite this setback, Luka still sets off on his journey of heroism, wanting to do his best to save the world from discriminations between humans and monsters, all while enduring the snarking from Alice, who decides to tag along with him, but states she will not be his ally, but more of an observer... but for what? Hopefully you folks can survive long enough to find out.

While the game starts off nice and humorous to ease players into the setting, including taking a few jabs at certain kleptomaniac heroes from similar RPGs in the 90's, the game manages to go out of its way to deconstruct the very ideas of heroism ingrained into Luka's head, like for instance, how what's right and wrong can be entirely subjective. At the same time, the game reconstructs these ideas to give Luka new motivation of just what a Hero REALLY should be, which improves his outlook on the world and also convinces the people he meets on his travels to think about their past ideas and want to change them for the better. It's this sort of development that gives this game some much needed atmosphere, by making flawed characters and seeing them improve their characteristics as time goes on; lately, it feels like most developers fail to take that into account and continue making bland characters and settings while trying to make games look more impressive graphically to sell them off, but I digress. Effectively, the story will keep you coming back for more of this interesting tale; if not that, then certainly the vast multitude of women here might convince you, hehe.

Monster Girl Quest does start off simple enough by using the token visual novel gameplay to explore the lands and mixes it with RPG segments to fight off the many monster girls that come after you, but continues to get more complicated by adding more elements into the battle. Despite this, the game does it in a way so you won't feel too overwhelmed. Add in the typical fantasy RPG backgrounds, the multitude of characters drawn by various Japanese artists such as Kenkou Cross, Setouchi, frfr, and Jingai Modoki in loving detail, the complex story, fitting music, and various achievements and difficulty levels to warrant multiple playthroughs, and you have a breadwinner of a visual novel game. If you're willing to look past the fact this game is purely for adults and 18+ folks, you're in for a real treat of a game. Of course, there's also the matter of LOOKING for the game itself, but sadly, neither me nor Jelly will help you out with that. There should be a site that allows you to buy this game in all its glory. Of course, unless you can read Japanese, you'll also need to download a translation patch as well.

As one last note, this game has been divided into 3 parts, so you'll need to get those and combine the files altogether. Pretty sure there's a guide for that somewhere else on the internet, though, so don't get too discouraged.

With that, I conclude my analysis of this game. Jelly and I hope you enjoyed this article, and if you're able to play it, do so. You won't be disappointed at all... provided of course some of the girls don't weird you right the heck out, that is. See ya!
