VN of the Month March 2009 - Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a Shooting Star-

Outside gameplay titles I'd only call Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a Shooting Star- and Boku no Te no Naka no Rakuen (because it's tsundere fantasy!) mastepieces. I'll review School Five ~Itsutsu no Himitsu no Monogatari~ since it has battle heroines and kind of obscure. I've always been shocked by the fact how untranslated moege Flyable Heart got so many reviews. I guess there was some horrible English translation, because otherwise it's super suspicious. Michi is pissing rainbows with this number of moege, but it's sad that comments did not survive.

1. Galaxy Angel II Eigou Kaiki no Toki ギャラクシーエンジェルII 永劫回帰の刻 [090312] Broccoli 1 2 
It's been three months since the events in Mugen Kairou no Kagi. The Rune Angel Troupe and the Moon Angel Troupe meet at Juno, where the 5th anniversary of its liberation it's being celebrated. Suddenly the Will makes its move, though, attacking nothing less than Val Randal, and the Luxiole must rush in its defense, marking the first act of the greatest war ever.
There is an English review.

2. Corpse Party BloodCovered コープスパーティー ブラッドカバー [090313] 5pb. Games 1 2 3 4
A group of high school students stayed after school to tell ghost stories. After a good scare one of them revealed that she is going to transfer school, everyone got sad but then another one told them there's a spell to make them always remember each other. Then everyone agreed to do it, each person hold a part of human-shaped paper and to pull it at the same time. One, Two, Three! They pulled it together and about to went home but soon after something like earthquake happened and all blacked out.

3. Amagami アマガミ [090319] Enterbrain! 1 2 3 4
Christmas Eve is around the corner, and it may very well be your last chance to ask the girl, you had a crush on since the beginning of high school, out.
There are English reviews.

4. Flyable Heart [090319] Unison Shift 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
――It began with a single envelope.
One day, an admission pamphlet to a famous academy arrived, containing an “all-you-can-eat” cafeteria pass. That alone was enough to lure our hero into visiting the super-prestigious Otori Ryouran College Community, home to students who excel in a variety of fields. Offbeat and unique students like a robot seem natural at Otori Ryouran. Organizing this odd student body is the responsibility of two groups ―― the Student Council and the Ryouran Society.
I was so happy to change schools, so why is a fortuneteller saying ominous things the moment I step out the door!
Why did all the fireworks explode on the bridge!!
And why was the only available room in the women’s dorm!!!
“Be wary, boy who carries an exceptional fate. Misfortune awaits you beyond here.”

5. Momoero Noumu Chuuihou! ももえろ濃霧注意報! [090319] Lapis Blue.
Taichi and Nazuna, his younger sister, have transferred to a new school. On their first day at school, a rumour spreads that Taichi slept with Nazuna because of her brother complex. A strange girl named Yuiri also appears in front of them who just set up the Edo Customs Research Club. Taichi is forced to join it.... He meets other club members, Saki, Suzuka, Kazuha, Shouta, and Ruka there and lives an eventful school life. One day, a mysterious mist that arouses sexual desire suddenly surrounds the school. When it happens Taichi and Yuiri are together.
"Stop it! Don't look at me!"
"Well, you are looking at me with erotic eyes."
"Don't say that! I'll never...."
"Oh, it's no good...."
They finally sleep together.
On the next day, Yuiri and other club members decide to examine how the mist appeared. But one day, another mysterious phenomenon happens and Taichi is forgotten by his friends...
Despite rather nukige-ish synopsis it's a rather serious story. We get to the past to prevent all the stuff in the synopsis. But development is looped, and from the second lap it really starts to get boring. Protagonist is nothing good, and number of H scenes is above average.

6. Musou Tourou 夢想灯籠 [090319] FOG
Musou Tourou focuses on the concepts of death and rebirth and its story is separated into two main branches, the present branch and the history branch. The story starts with the hero Shuji's encounter with demons .
As an excellent swordsman, he took it upon himself to defeat the creatures from the netherworlds. Although he won, he reckons that the demons are not to be looked down upon, and this proves right as he is knocked down by a strong adversary in his second fight, only to wake up in the presence of a strange girl Kagami.
Between life, rebirth and time travel, you have to protect your love from the menaces.
PSP all-ages title with card battles. Story is thin, and instead of events there are endless psychological descriptions. Heroines fall in love at first sight. Seven endings actually all fall into two patterns. There's nothing to really praise except for graphics.

7. Sui Supe Kawanoguchi Nobu Tankentai ~Kore ga Hikyou da! Jinseki Mitou! Tachifusagaru Shoutengai! ... 水スペ 川野口ノブ探検隊 ~これが秘境だ! 人跡未踏! 立ちふさがる商店街! 八鏡大学に隠された地球最大の謎を追え!!~ [090319] Liar-soft
Nobu Kawanoguchi leads a freshly formed expedition to discover new locations and reveal forgotten mysteries.
Bakage strategy.

8. Canvas 3 ~Hakugin no Portrait~Canvas3 ~白銀のポートレート~ [090320] F&C 1 2

It's near future where some people participate in an experiment to develop in a closed community and hopefully find something useful for stagnant civilization. What a stupid endeavour. It's all just to introduce normal school setting in a small town. There are some spectacular developments in the middle, but basically it's just a nostalgic thing. After five romance routes the true one opens up which finally has something to do with future.

13. Daisounan [090327] SofthouseChara 1 
In the future, when interplanetary travel has become common, a spaceship accident leaves 9 people trapped on an unexplored planet.
The survivors have to find a way to escape the planet (which in the worst case might only be possible for two of them, while the rest are left behind)) while battling the Fauna and Flora of the planet (and possibly each other)
Strategy

14. echo. [090327] Sputnik
This story takes place in a mountain town surrounded by the sea.
Ryouichi is sent everyday to the town where the summer sun shines brightly upon it.
He meets up with his sister, who is in the Swimming Club, and a quiet childhood friend.
The town holds a summer festival in their school, and it seems like life will continue as it always has.
There, a rumor of a strangely dressed girl slowly spreads around the town.
A girl with a white dress and a blue ribbon.
She is searching for them...
An emotional thing that aims to be like Air, but ends up disintegrated with forced development and bad aftertaste. Too much ambition for the unrefined first work taste.

Before making the move to the city, You spent almost every single day after school playing with a girl up at the town observation lookout; she was You's first true friend. And when she learns of You’s upcoming relocation to the city she becomes very upset…so much so that she makes him promise to her that one day he must return to Hibarigasaki to marry her. And with a final departure she kisses You on the forehead.
Years later, upon returning to Hibarigasaki, You comes across a now abandoned, fenced-off observatory lookout. It is at this lookout where he encounters a mysterious scythe-wielding girl named Mare who looks strangely like his childhood friend from years past.

16. Koko Yori, Haruka -Surrounded sea in the world- ここより、はるか - Surrounded sea in the world - [090327] Pleats soft 1 
"Junki, wake up!" A strange girl shakes Junki awake. "Well, who are you? I'm just sleepy.... What? Where am I?" A place he doesn't remember. A voice he doesn't remember. However he knows this girl who woke him, as Urara, his classmate. She looks at him anxiously flapping her small wings. It seems he fell asleep during class. As he looks around, there is a fairy and a girl carrying a sword. There is nothing wrong even if you see a girl with wings, but he feels somewhat out of place... A place he doesn't remember. A voice he doesn't remember. However he knows it. He is the only one that knows...

18. School Five ~Itsutsu no Himitsu no Monogatari~すく~るふぁいぶ~五つの秘密の物語~ [090327] DisAbel
This game contains strange love stories of five couples. You can enjoy various stories of mysterious heroines at school in the country. Five stories are connected to each other and it affects your ending. The story grows deeper as it goes and becomes one grand story....
After seeing this kind of huge weapon on CG, you know I can't just skip this game for review.

20. Sekai o Seifuku Suru Tame no, 3tsu no Houhou 世界を征服するための、3つの方法 [090327] Crowd
It tells the story of a devil king who, in the midst of a battle with a hero, somehow turned himself into a female by taking a secret medicine, which was supposed to give him extraordinary strength!
This sets the stage for a love comedy...
Do you remember Crowd making comedies? Well, I don't. What I remember is Crowd making all those X Change nukige series all the time. Basically, it's the same kind of sex exchange "comedy", just in fantasy setting . And before you you can familiarize with the setting it's already H scenes time.
