This game is as lifeless as a doll

(tags game, Rozen Maiden, PlayStation 2, love-sim, anime, complete)

I finished Rozen Maiden Duellwalzer. Suiseiseki's lines are almost the same as Hina-Ichigo's lines. Yup. Nothing really new here, except the character voice changed. Voice actress fandom aside, this game is a dud. 2.5 stars out of 5.

Still I haven't talked about that shooting game, but it doesn't merit another post or pictures. It sucks. Imagine yeah Shikigami no Shiro but without the scratching, without power ups, without a whole lot of interesting things, oh but leave the bomb in there, and you have this shmup. Your ship is a wide-load instead of a pixel hitbox, ow the shock. When I unlocked Souseiseki and played as her, my high score which was meandering at 2,900,000 points with only Shinkuu, Suiseiseki and Hina-Ichigo, shot up to 4,900,000 points because her firepower is concentrated. Not very balanced, is it?

I'm still into "shouwaru ningyo" (性悪人形) and "kerai kerai" (家来家来) and "ichigo daifuku!" (苺大福), but for now there's nothing new on the horizon. Might as well organize my Rozen Maiden doujin mangas and official CD-ROMs and rip the CD audio dramas, etc etc.
