The Good
Time: Same as before where you can do as much as you want during the day until you run dry on energy. However now, there's a slow but sure way to replenish that energy outside of having sex. You can make food and some foods will give you a small amount of energy there's still waiting in combat to gain +1 per wait.
Combat: They made the combat button assigned making the screen smaller and not getting in the way of girl's battle CG. There's a status above their HP bar letting you know when the girl is ready to be captured. and now capturing has a precision mini-game to it. Hit the arrow and capture is successful, miss and the girl runs away.
Battle difficulty: The enemy girls can actually fight now, and a lot WILL kill you if you don't build your stats/gear up or learn what spirit works against them. Nice change.
New spirit: surprisingly easy to get....and easy to miss, details at 11:00
Gathering: Fishing now has the same mini-game as capturing. Meaning you can control whether or not you succeed or not. You can make it so you never not (DOUBLE NEGATIVE) get a fish. Which irked me in the first one.
Menu: Everything is separated. Usable items, captured girls, materials and they are all labeled. So if you see something, it'll always be in your inventory just now your inventory instead just tells you how many you have.
CG: Same quality from 1.12, a few you can tell have been touched up on.
The Bad
Gathering: Still takes 1 energy per item, so it's easy to use up more energy than you were hoping gathering supplies.
Menu: Every menu in the game are now pictured instead of text, meaning texthookers no longer grabs them. You'll be going through the menu screens blind.
Combat: These girls.....hit hard now. You will lose to girls you easily defeated in the older versions.
New spirit: Hi, we're back with our coverage of ELEMENTS newest girl. She's super easy to get.....just die. No joke, just die. Easy right? Just be careful as if you die you lose half of your money after your first death. So she could easily become the most expensive girl to get in the game if you're not paying attention.
Time (real): This game is soooooooo addicting!
