![]() ![]() It’s all there and, what normally would just not work in other VNs, manages to work so well here simply because the game does not take itself seriously. Exaggerated character quirks, absurd plot developments, and even text that shapes itself to the tune of the game’s own jokes. Right from the start, you are bombarded with the studio’s signature over the top comedic writing. ![]() They don’t really do settings outside of reality and generally don’t do the whole “serious” story thing, instead focusing way more on the comedy and characters.Īnd yes, this expertise can be seen in HaremKingdom. In fact, for being an isekai story, the whole “fantasy” setting is hardly explored beyond surface-level concepts like “oh, there’s magic”.Ī bit disappointing, but this is kinda expected coming from SMEE. I liked how refreshing it was to get right into the meat of the story without an overly long buildup, but it does come at the cost of some character development and worldbuilding.

HaremKingdom starts off in the real world, but you’re quickly thrown into this fantasy realm, along with your childhood friend, and just as quickly crowned king of an entire kingdom. I mean, we get a ton of anime and novels based in that genre, so it’s honestly a bit surprising that this is only like the second VN I’ve played with that base.
