Yakuza Rogue: Yokohama Massage Parlor Chapter

Let me start by saying that Yakuza Rogue: Yokohama Massage Parlor Chapter is awesome and as of right now, this is in contention as my favorite lewd game of the year. I had so much fun with this it features the Japanese underworld and pinball, two things that I love in video games. Plus, this also has a great story, way better than I imagined it would be and there are many ways that it can go so there is a great deal of replay value in this game.

Working For That Big Promotion

With Yakuza in the title of Yakuza Rogue: Yokohama Massage Parlor Chapter, you know going in that this has some kind of story revolving around Japanese gangsters. We play as a guy who is trying to work his way up in the Yakuza and we need to make a ton of cash at the massage parlor we are running to get this promotion. However, things are made more complicated by the fact that we have a string of women in our life that we are trying to keep happy. The story is great as it has that perfect blend of humor and real stakes so it is very easy to get invested, but also be very entertained.

Making Money, Making Ladies Moan!

There is a lot to the gameplay in Yakuza Rogue: Yokohama Massage Parlor Chapter. You need to manage your massage parlor by making sure that your patrons are very happy and that they are getting happy endings if you know what I am saying. The management aspect of the game is just about perfect, you need to actually make sure the massages are hitting the right spot and that the place is running as it should be. I found this all to be very easy to get to grips with and there was nothing too complicated that sucked out all of the fun. However, the management and also the dating sim aspects are just part of what makes this such a great game.

You Had Me At Pinball

That is right, Yakuza Rogue: Yokohama Massage Parlor Chapter has a pinball element to it. It is a bit different than traditional Pinball, but it works as a kind of battle system and adds an element of action and excitement to the game. This is not overused and I found it to be a great deal of fun and a major highlight of the game. The pinball stuff is great and I always felt that I was in control here and when something did not go as planned, it was my fault. However, there is another element to the game where you have to roll dice and also take part in a guessing game where it is completely random how you will do. This to be honest was something that also added a bit of a thrill to the gameplay, but I fully understand how it may be frustrating for some people.

A Slick Kind Of Style

I am a massive fan of the overall style that Yakuza Rogue: Yokohama Massage Parlor Chapter has. This is a very cool looking game that is done in an almost anime style. They did not go for a pixel art style here, instead, it is all very smooth and slick and it has a high end about it which I greatly appreciated. The game also has some larger portraits that really help showcase the personality of the characters. The whole game just has a very “cool” vibe that is hard to put into words. The lewd content is fine and all, but I would not say that it is the focus of the game.

Pros:

• I loved the Yakuza, Japanese underworld setting
• The managing of the massage parlor was fun
• I loved the pinball stuff here
• The game actually has a fantastic and fun story to play through

Cons:

• There are some mini-games that are completely luck based
• Some people may wish it had a bit more lewd content
