Characters like Milo, a satire of influencers and those obsessed with social media or Aaravi, a character that’s basically a self-aware video game protagonist could have easily wound up as shallow parodies and clichés, but all of them are written with such care and an extraordinary amount of clever dialogue that they easily become lovable, and all of them perfectly play off each other and the equally odd and impressive various side characters. Actually, that’s probably the best place to start when it comes to Monster Prom 2’s strengths: the writing. That last part may sound extremely odd if you haven’t checked out the game, I realize, but trust me, Milo’s design and personality has a strong chance of winning you over.

And new to the series is Milo, a reaper and influencer who enjoys new trends and has a zest for the pleasures in life, and is honestly the character I immediately fell in love with and thus told myself that I wouldn’t write a review of this game until I was able to successfully land them as my summer romance.
Side characters from the first promoted to love interest now include Joy, the witch who finds it difficult to take a break from saving the world, Dahlia, Damien’s buff rival and fellow demon obsessed with conquest and earning whatever badges they can, and Aaravi, the monster slayer constantly wanting to go on quests but is now accompanied a curse known as Hex who would rather just lounge around and eat bagels. Returning from the first game and its expansion are Damien, the violence-loving, horny-in-several-ways devil, and Calculester, the patchwork robot attempting to understand several aspects of humanity. Once again, you have six possible deliberately twenty-something teenage potential love interests to go after. Funny what several years (and a developer actually putting in some effort) can lead to!Ī sequel to 2018’s breakout hit, Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp sees you (alone or with up to three friends) heading out to Camp Spooky, hoping to find a summer romance just in time for the meteor shower during the final day of camp. So here we are now, nearly half a decade later, and one of my most anticipated games of this year is Monster Prom 2, a deliberately trashy visual novel about trying to romance various monsters that crosses the line constantly when it comes to its humor.
It was the type of bad game where I immediately knew that I would never want to revisit it ever again. I settled on Sakura Santa, a trashy visual novel that clearly only existed for the purposes of cheap fanservice and lame attempts at romance and humor while you try to awkwardly woo supernatural beings. Since I wasn’t exactly in a position to immediately demand the most high-profile games to review at the moment, I decided to begin proving my worth by tackling a game outside of my comfort zone and that no one else would want (although this was late December, so it’s not like there were many pickings anyway). Just under five years ago, I began my journey with Hardcore Gamer, joining as a Staff Writer.
