The series has come a long way. From the somewhat less than appealing appearance of Shalith to her current glow up self, the series has gotten prettier. We finally got the queen from the first game as a playable character and the story brings everyone from the games back together one last time.

I still don't really like most of the scenes though, they are decently animated but they lack a lot of... feeling? And the fetishes covered are weird as usual, I never liked most of them, and I honestly wish they stopped cutting away to the enemy and cutting back to the scene, it's really distracting. I only found a few of them to be decent and this time is no exception.

Gameplay is team based, instead of the solo adventures of the previous 2 games. Naturally, the depth of the game has increased drastically. The game lets you swap between characters on the fly, and each character has their own skill pool. The queen is purely for support, while her other 3 companions are the damage dealers. It's a roguelike where the Queen retains all her exp and skills, while her dealers need to start from Lvl 1 every attempt. The game's pretty casual, but be prepared to die a lot early on due to the Queen lacking a lot of upgrades.

However positioning is insanely important this time, as your dealers are specialised in their roles. The newcomer is the only tank/vanguard, naturally you want her to be at the front always. While the mage and archer need to keep enemies away. Thankfully the game is fully equipped to allow the player full control over the group / specific characters. And the grid style terrain really lends itself well to some cheeky plays from both you and the enemy. It's fun, though a bit tedious admittedly when you have the whole group.

It's basically the 2nd game, except with more characters and more gameplay depth. Buy it for the gameplay and conclusion to the story, and maybe enjoy the scenes if they are your to your liking.
