I do want to recommend this game. Well, this story. There's no actual game here. The choices are largely irrelevant and have no impact on the actual outcome other than who shows up where - and even then, only sometimes. Some of the humor is pretty good, and the characters are likable enough for what is effectively a harem anime. But this game just feels a bit lazy overall. It has a strange theme that makes people curious, screenshots of a few of the jokes, it's enough to make some people (myself included) decide to buy it - on sale - and see what it's really like. And it delivers, to a degree. There are some references to the actual tanks the girls are named after. Some of their personality traits can be assigned due to their country of origin. But the personalities have about as much depth as a saucer of milk. And the writing, unfortunately, contains several plot points that get immediately dropped that COULD have actually gone somewhere. That and some things in the game really should be explained. It's short, it's sloppy, it goes nowhere, and it ends rather abruptly. And, while it contains a "skip" feature, using it will likely crash the game as it can try to forward faster than the engine can actually handle. Also, the jokes in the screen shots? Not actually in the game. There are similar jokes told by other characters, but never the ones you see like that. The world doesn't make sense - which at least your invisible protagonist self points out a few times - and the characters largely don't behave in any reasonable way. Which is a shame, because you see hints **** idea here and there, something that COULD be explored in depth. Instead, they just hope you know about Kancolle and think this is similar enough to pay for. It's not. Sorry. Put some more time in the writing, make decisions MATTER, give some logic and actually follow up on the plot threads you keep leaving around and there could be something unique and special here. As it stands, this is the "visual novel" equivalent of Buzzfeed clickbait. "Top 15 tanks turned into high-school girls, you won't believe number 7!" It occurs to me that there IS another game out there, with an equally silly theme, that shows that good writing is still possible. Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth 1. Don't let a silly theme make you shy away from telling a good story.

This game is one of the few dating sim games I can call good. It has an amazing soundtrack, story, writing, easy to play, and it is perfect if you are into WWII. The only downsides of this game is that it tends to use a lot of the same backgrounds at times(Though it does address this), and some of the scenes that it hypes up do fall a little short but the only reason why this isn't a ten is because there are only 2 games that i would consider perfect.

A very entertaining game, to me it is worth the $10 price tag but will likely go on sale. It is very funny, and there is a stereotypical girl for everyone(Tsundere,Yandere,Hemedere,etc).
