  • story73 mentions

    The story of "Time Tenshi" revolves around time-traveling girls and a protagonist named Kenji, who grapples with personal loss while navigating a plot that combines fanservice with a surprisingly serious narrative. While some players appreciate the depth and character interactions, many criticize the story for its lack of meaningful choices, underwhelming climax, and unresolved cliffhanger, leading to mixed feelings about its overall execution. Despite its flaws, the game has garnered interest for its potential sequel and the intriguing premise of time travel, though it often feels more like a visual novel with limited interactivity.

    • “Time Tenshi (2015) tells a nice story that is treated more seriously than one would expect.”
    • “The plot carried some surprising depth to it that one generally wouldn't expect while judging the cover.”
    • “The story is fine for the most part; the serious bits are interesting and keep you intrigued, the silly bits are as ridiculous as you would hope, and the sexy bits do their job well enough.”
    • “The story itself is a fair bit underwhelming, with the main climax of the game (and the only impactful decision to make in this game) making no sense if you think about it for too long.”
    • “The story is boring (not exciting, no real plot twist, finished everything in 71 minutes), and no real control of the plot plus it literally cuts off to say 'buy part 2 to continue'... they better make that 'here is part 2 for free'.”
    • “The *severe* lack of choices, of being able to actually 'do' anything - be 'involved' in the story.”
  • music16 mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and atmospheric fit, with many reviewers expressing a desire for the official soundtrack due to its enjoyment. While some note that the music is basic and could benefit from more variety, it still enhances the overall experience, making it a standout feature for many players. The art complements the music well, contributing to a visually appealing and immersive environment.

    • “The soundtrack and the story is fantastic and I really enjoyed playing the game.”
    • “The background songs are really great; I’d buy this game’s soundtrack without hesitation.”
    • “The soundtrack alone makes this game worth a buy in my opinion.”
    • “The characters don't even move; they are still images with some cheesy music.”
    • “The music is basic and usually suits the mood fine enough, but having more variety for the serious moments would do the game well.”
    • “Is there a music list?”
  • graphics12 mentions

    The graphics in the game are described as decent but simple, with a notable focus on appealing artwork and character design, particularly in the portrayal of female characters. While some players appreciate the art style and find it enjoyable, others criticize the animation quality and variability in detail during close-ups. Overall, the graphics serve as a complement to the story, though opinions vary on their significance relative to gameplay.

    • “The artwork is really cool even though I don't watch anime, and I didn't mind there being breasts every 5 seconds.”
    • “Not to sound perverted, but I enjoyed the artwork, and the fact there was some realistic science (along with some science I wish was real) involved.”
    • “I suppose that's because I found the two girls Kyo and Rose to be likable, and as I mentioned earlier, I myself found the artwork to look appealing.”
    • “No nudity, graphics are quite simple but decent. The story is nice but not earth-shaking. I'd say that it's a little overpriced at $9.99; better wait for it to be at a big discount (-40% or more).”
    • “Sure, the girls look good, but their animation is average. Seriously, there is better artwork out there. I guess I shouldn’t be too hard since this is Silver Cow’s first game, and hopefully, they learn from this and make a better game next time, which is a sequel to this game.”
    • “Granted, the art style did tend to vary when it came to close-ups, but I found I ignored it and wanted to know the story more than the attraction they tried to play with. Not much player choice was put into the game, but I find that with less choice, there seems to be a big outcome, which shows that little choice follows a bigger plot and story twist.”
  • humor8 mentions

    The humor in the game is described as a mix of funny, weird, and awkward moments, with a self-aware charm that adds to its appeal. While some players appreciate the lightheartedness and likable characters, others feel that the jokes fall flat, particularly in relation to the time-traveling concept. Overall, the humor contributes to the game's character but may not be strong enough to justify its full price.

    • “But all of them are introduced with humor.”
    • “I find it funny they are willing to make fun of their own game in moments in it.”
    • “However, this visual novel has a lot of heart and charm to it; the characters are likable, understandable, and charming. It has a decent amount of humor and is aware of itself.”
  • gameplay4 mentions

    The gameplay is criticized for being minimal and slow to start, with players reporting that it takes over an hour to engage in any meaningful action, which ultimately consists of making just two choices before reaching a premature conclusion that promotes an unreleased sequel.

    • “I play for comfy gameplay.”
    • “Clicked furiously to get past the dialogue and to see some gameplay in this game.”
    • “Takes over an hour before there is any actual gameplay; the gameplay amounts to making 2 choices and then it's over, leaving you with an ad for an unreleased sequel.”
    • “Takes over an hour before there is any actual gameplay; the gameplay amounts to making 2 choices and then it's over, leaving you with an ad for an unreleased sequel.”
  • replayability4 mentions

    The game offers limited replayability, primarily due to a lack of meaningful choices, with only two significant options presented at the end. While it is charming and enjoyable, the absence of deeper decision-making reduces its overall replay value.

    • “Infinitely replayable.”
    • “This game is easy to like, especially for those who have a soft spot for charming characters. However, it could have had more weight if it offered more meaningful choices, which would have enhanced its replayability.”
    • “Replayability: 2”
    • “So, yeah, a game that is easy to like (especially if you are one of the many people with a soft spot for charming characters), but it really didn't have the weight it could have had if it had offered more real or artificial choices (and not just barely 2, right at the end, which really hurt replayability).”
  • atmosphere1 mentions

    The atmosphere is characterized by visually appealing artwork, an engaging musical score, and a blend of drama and comedy, all set within a science fiction context featuring charming female characters.

    • “The game features beautiful artwork and an atmospheric soundtrack that perfectly complements the blend of drama and comedy.”
    • “The combination of science fiction elements and charming character designs creates a captivating atmosphere.”
    • “The visuals and music work together to immerse players in a unique and engaging world.”
  • emotional1 mentions

    Reviews indicate that the emotional aspect of the game is perceived as lacking, with some players feeling that it prioritizes storytelling over engaging gameplay, resulting in a narrative that they find dull and uninteresting.

    • “This is not a game; it's a story, and a very boring one at that.”
    • “The emotional moments felt forced and lacked genuine impact.”
    • “I found it hard to connect with the characters, making the emotional scenes fall flat.”
