Konosuba: Love for These Garments of Want solutions that query by giving Konosuba followers a wacky dress-up visible novel full of horny, salacious outfits to decorate the Konosuba ladies in, producing some attention-grabbing storylines that vary from humorous to straight up raunchy.
Konosuba: Love for These Garments of Want is technically a unfastened sequel to the Japan-only sport titled Konosuba: Judgment on this Grasping Sport launched in 2017, however works simply high quality as a standalone sport that may be loved by followers. Whereas on the highway, Kazuma, Megumin, Aqua, and Darkness—the primary characters of Konosuba—occur to stumble throughout an odd black slab that has some form of illegible textual content on it. The get together discovers that the black slab can create clothes through the use of components and supplies. In addition they, sadly, uncover it’s cursed to awaken the alternative need inside an individual, and the curse can solely be lifted by fulfilling the bodily and psychological parts of their new need. The longer the curse stays on its unassuming goal, the extra everlasting the change turns into till their unique need is changed with the brand new one. So as to add gas to the fireplace, the get together additionally discovers that the slab was stolen from a nobleman who accuses them of its theft, leaving Kazuma, Megumin, Aqua, and Darkness to be pressured to satisfy the nobleman’s calls for for unusual outfits as they attempt to show their innocence and save every get together members from the curse of the black slab.
Individuals who have engaged with the anime, manga, or mild novels inside the Konosuba collection will probably be acquainted with the solid current within the sport and their character sorts. The primary individual to be affected by the curse is Darkness who goes from being a masochist in search of humiliation from others round her to a sadist who thrives on the humiliation of others. The second individual affected is Megumin, who goes from being envious of ladies with giant boobs to embracing her existence as a flat-chested lolita. Aqua finds herself the third sufferer of the black slab’s curse, making her go from being egocentric and hedonistic to selfless like a correct goddess, though she nonetheless loves her bubbly.
In an effort to remedy the get together from their curse and save them from dying by order of the nobleman, all of them should exit on quests to gather objects in an effort to craft a wide range of horny and suggestive outfits. There are additionally bonus outfits that may be made which unlocks extra storylines and will increase the relationships between Kazuma and the three girl in his get together as nicely and acquainted supporting characters from the Konosuba collection together with Sena, Chris, Wiz, and Yunyun.
The sport combines visible novel storytelling and job administration in an effort to create clothes so gamers can progress via the wacky story of Konosuba: Love for These Garments of Want. Gamers are given a specific amount of days to go on quests or full part-time jobs in an effort to fulfill the nobleman’s outfit request. Each 5 days operates a bit like this: three days are blocked off for gamers to pick out duties in an effort to gather supplies. Generally sure duties will set off story scenes that vary from being extraordinarily humorous to simply plain uncomfortable relying in your tolerance for sexual innuendos and content material.
After the schedule is run for this three days, gamers will get the prospect to observe a scene in numerous areas that offers them the prospect to extend Kazuma’s relationship with one of many seven ladies. The fifth day is when gamers can store for extra supplies to make use of in outfit crafting and truly craft the outfits. The cycle continues till the participant creates the primary story outfits or runs out of days to create the outfits.
It requires some good time administration to ensure the mandatory supplies are being collected from part-time jobs and quests, to not point out the very fact there are such a lot of extra outfits that may be crafted that aren’t part of the primary storyline however can affect which ending the participant will get for Kazuma. Fortunately, Konosuba: Love for These Garments of Want is fairly quick so gamers can play via many various endings with out feeling pressured to finish them on their first playthrough. By some means I managed to make outfits for primarily Yunyun, which gave me her ending once I accomplished my first playthrough, though I had been primarily aiming for an ending with Aqua.
I discovered the time administration facet of this sport to be reasonably artistic and a pleasant technique to make the sport extra interactive since gamers might want to actively handle their objects and prioritize sure outfits earlier than working out of time in every chapter to finish the primary story outfits. Additionally, the sport actively rewards mediocrity by exhibiting distinctive occasions if in case you have Megumin, Aqua, and Darkness full part-time jobs they dislike.
Whereas not being the precise demographic for this sport as I’ve by no means watched greater than a handful of episodes of Konosuba, I did discover some moments the place I laughed on the ridiculous conditions Kazuma, Megumin, Aqua, and Darkness would find yourself in—a lot of which had been virtually at all times a consequence of their very own silly actions. Konosuba: Love for These Garments of Want can be extraordinarily suggestive and is unashamed about it, which is in step with collection as an entire, though I discovered the anime to be a bit extra ironic about its sexual innuendos and raunchiness. The sport nonetheless options the self-awareness current within the collection, however a number of the scenes that happen after a bonus outfit is given to one of many seven ladies appears like it’s performed fairly straight. For instance, dressing Yunyun in a college lady uniform throughout a wet day permits Kazuma to see via her garments, and there may be truthfully nothing humorous about it nor does it present any meta commentary that I might count on from Konosuba. After all, this sport is stuffed to the brim with titilating outfits and moments, however at the same time as anyone who has little expertise with the anime, I anticipated these kinds of moments to no less than have some sort of humorous payoff whereas nonetheless being provocative in the way in which Konosuba is understood to be.
For individuals who love the raunchiness of the Konosuba collection, there may be loads of that to search out in Konosuba: Love for These Garments of Want, but when gamers had been on the lookout for one thing that makes an attempt to subvert the style when Megumin, Aqua, or Darkness are wearing a swimsuit or maid outfit, then they most likely received’t discover that right here. This sport is fanservice via and thru, however it does have loads of humorous moments that may make followers need to see the sport via to the tip, particularly if they’ll unlock an ending that includes their favourite character.
Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Great World! Love for These Garments of Want will launch for the PC by way of Steam, PS4 and Nintendo Change on February 8, 2024.
