Crush Crush review

Exceptional

by Mia Blais-Côté

I play on Linux. Linux version: excellent. The game a mix between dating SIM and clicker that does not take itself seriously. We find the aspects of the two genres: for the dating SIM, the waifus and their characteristics, and for the clicker, the... Click, and the incremetal part with the reset to go faster to the next run. For the clicker part, it's basic and it makes the job expected. However, do not expect to reach the end of the game without spending hundreds of hours, even thousands, unless you put a little hand to the wallet to buy some multipliers (permanent, it is not worth to do it several times). Nothing shocking, the F2P it doesn't feed the developers. For the dating SIM part, idem, it's pretty basic: we pass different levels in the relationship with each girl by validating several criteria each time: a level of affection that is incremented mainly by talking to him (by clicking the fastest possible once you have already read all the lines of dialogue), and gifts that you buy with the money that increments without stopping (but not fast enough: so you have to reset the game so that the overall multiplier increases the speed). But what makes the whole game is that it does not take itself seriously. The references to various other universes are legion (video games, movies, different and varied same,...) and the dialogues are often funny, sometimes meta, almost always crispy. It's a real pleasure to read. And to hear from a recent patch, all the dialogues have been doubled:). For having had to do two times to support because of Linux problems, I can say that the developers are friendly, and very responsive. It's a pleasure. Music is a loop, but the kind you can listen to a lot of time without finding it painful. As for the graphics, it's okay. There is an NSFW DLC on the dev site for those interested. It adds a few images and some dialogues. I advise to take out the autoclickers for certain parts of the game (especially the last stages), and to sharpen your skills in scripting to increase your multiplier without actively playing if you plan to finish the game. Replayability, achievements the game is updated regularly. Since I have it, they have added 6 or 7 characters, the doublings, as well as an event system to get various outfits. The events last a certain time and disappear, so there is always an interest in launching the game from time to again. There are also achievements ingame in addition to those on steam, mainly game time counters and monies earned. In short a clicker, waifus, and humor. What does the people ask? GNU/Linux the Linux version is excellent. If I have sometimes encountered problems, they have always been fixed quickly by the devs. I advise however to throw it with the local C in doubt. OS: Linux Mint 18.3 x64, MATE Edition. Hardware: I7 7700K OC @ 5Ghz, NVIDIA 1080GTX, 32GB RAM. Screens: Triplescreen, including one vertical, one X screen.
