Jantei Monogatari 3 Sabre Angel
« on: August 26, 2007, 05:16:14 PM »
Finished this game today so thought I'd share a few thoughts about the story mode here. I've got a bunch of pics of the game as well and may place them on my site at a later date.

The story mode is about 3 girls who go around playing mahjong matches against a variety of villains. Of course much fan service and nudity is the result of these matches though the nudity is comedic and mainly of the "barbie doll" variety.

There are 4 main stages in the game. The first stage starts you off in a school where you can wander the hallways and into different rooms where you may find some dude and his porno collection or even into the girls locker room.  :-"  A couple of your mahjong opponents in this area are the captain of the girls volleyball team (complete with volleyball mini game) and a teacher who suddenly grows 100 feet tall. On to stage two.

In stage 2 you end up inside a wrestling arena run by a dominatrix and some dude in a yellow banana hammock. There is a wrestling mini game here complete with some very interesting grappling moves.

Stage 3 takes place inside a magic castle of some sort. Here you'll meet Alice in wonderland who you will have to play a card battle game against before your mahjong match. Another interesting character in this stage is a knight in golden armor who one of the girls falls in love with. He gets her back to his place naked and into bed when she sees by the reflection in the mirror that his armor has no back on it and he's naked underneath. Nothing a game of mahjong won't fix though. Um....yeah.

Stage 4 takes place against a bunch of half beast/half girl opponents. You'll get a bit of help toward the end.

Overall, I found the game to be a lot of fun and the story kept me interested all the way through. I think just about anyone can follow what's going on without knowing Japanese. The mahjong rounds in the game are fairly easy and the only real difference in the opponents is the amount of points they start out with. Hope this was just enough info for you to want to give it a try.

I think I'd get a kick out of the mini-games and crazy characters.  I just hope it isn't too rare/expensive.

Took me a while to finally find it but bought it for 24 dollars US. And hey, at least you won't get stuck in it anywhere.  :lol:

Hah! I don't know if I'll ever spend too much time with mahjong ... but thanks for the scoop.

Normally wouldn't do this, but there is a smokin deal ($15!) for this game on Ebay right now from Hit Japan.

m1savage, are you still working on the Anearth Fantasy Stories walkthrough?

It's more or less complete so I've been enjoying a bunch of other games. I do have another small update to put up in the next few weeks though. Are you by chance currently playing through the game?

If anyone is looking to buy Anearth, I think gaijinpunch still has one for sale on his website for $28 which is the cheapest I've ever seen it anywhere.

Just trying to share the PC Engine love!  :D

m1savage, yes, I'm currently playing through. Although I'll admit I haven't had a go at it in a while, I'm fairly far along. In the beginning your writeup on the battle menus was very helpful and saved me a bit of trial and error. I haven't needed to resort to the walkthrough otherwise, but it's nice to know it's there.

I look forward to playing through again as a different "character" once I finish this current round.

Cool. The "monk" battle menu is one of the things I'm correcting with the next update. I'm hoping someone will play through as a "wizard" character to remind me of some more of the differences and maybe help me fill in a couple of missing item pics.

Wow, I guess I haven't visited your page since before the April update. You really have fleshed things out quite a bit. Looks great!

I'm currently playing through as a wizard. But since I haven't played through the game before at all, it'd be hard for me to identify any differences.
