The more you talk to a girl before a date the more they’ll open up to you, eventually revealing personal traits, issues, and medical conditions that take the form of puzzle modifiers. This makes constantly switching between the two a necessity (especially since matches higher than three-of-a-kind deplete more blocks at once).īaggage is its own beast. Stamina is relatively straightforward: each girl has a stamina gauge, and every three-of-a-kind match depletes one block of stamina and restores one for the other girl. To make things even more interesting, HuniePop 2 introduces two new systems: stamina and baggage. This means players have to reach the required score threshold for every puzzle session while swapping back and forth between the girls on either side of the screen. The twist this time around is all about simultaneously entertaining both girls on the date. The core gameplay loop of HuniePop remains the same: meet a girl, chat, go on a date (where the puzzles happen), and repeat until it’s time to do the deed. There are even some gag characters thrown in with the express purpose of being annoying and providing comedy relief (looking at you, Sarah).

From confident and independent flight attendant Lola to shy and inexperienced Lailani, there’s a diverse cast of new and returning girls to meet, date, and ultimately sleep with. As characters, each girl is well-realized through top-notch voice acting and some shockingly realistic dialogue (I’d sometimes feel genuinely bad when responding to a girl’s emotions the wrong way). The writing is just as raunchy and irreverent as ever, walking a fine line between delivering expertly-timed jokes and degenerate drivel. Seeing the mini storylines for each pair play out ranges from serviceable fun to “Woah, how’re they going to get along?” similarly to the support conversations in modern Fire Emblem titles (but at a smaller scale). Girls must be at least somewhat compatible for you to date them, whether that means they’ve known each other for years or they had a chance interaction on the beach one day. Earth’s only hope is for you to study the art of double dating (in this case, taking two girls on a date simultaneously) and have a load of threesomes to earn enough fairy wings to…well…let’s just say a healthy suspension of disbelief is required to enjoy to plot even a little.įor as silly as the overarching premise is, it opens the door for many more character interactions than had been previously possible. Kyu suddenly pops up out of nowhere to inform you that two celestial are about to be awakened by a terrible period and go on a world-destroying PMS-fueled rampage. It picks up several years after the events of the first, where the previously bumbling protagonist (you) is now a rich world-class playboy/playgirl enjoying all sorts of debauchery on a daily basis. HuniePop 2 is a direct sequel in every way.
