Action Taimanin.
Our helmsman Dmitry Kungurov could only imagine in a nightmare that someday we would write a review of any game from the Taimanin series. After all, both in them and in anime series with curvaceous, half-naked heroines, when enemies take them prisoner, they often do things that even an 18+ rating would seem insufficient. However, in Action Taimanin, the opponents maim, beat and kill them at most. Because this is a much more decent action/RPG in the gacha format, designed for a wide audience, which immediately after its release soared to the top in popularity of the role-playing section of Steam. But is it really worth it? Let's figure it out.
Hunters or slaves?
Yes, you heard it right: Taimanin is a series of legendary he**ai visual novels that have had a major influence on the genre. They talk about a special unit of b***y ninja hunters who fight demons on the streets of Tokyo (and not only), build relationships, and make love. And periodically they are captured by their enemies, where they violently take revenge on the girls, turning them into s*x slaves... Well, in general, you understand.
The first game in the series, Taimanin Asagi, was released back in 2005, then a bunch of sequels, spin-offs and several anime series appeared in OVA format (intended for home viewing only and not shown in movies or on TV), where everything is more explicit and harsher than in visual novels.
