>>2476Extremely late, but I’m answering in case you still want to know or anyone else is wondering. I also love Hashihime, and while UuultraC isn’t quite as good, I still really enjoyed it and consider it one of the best BL games I’ve played. It has a very different tone, though, so don’t go in expecting the same thing or you’ll be disappointed. It’s much more fantastical and abstract than Hashihime, and it can take a while to 100% understand what’s happening. I’ve seen some people describe it as ‘confusing,’ but I think it’s mostly the first 1/3 that filters people. When you reach the ending, it’s all pretty clear. One of my favorite things about Hashihime is Tamamori, as the author did a great job of fleshing out his personality and all of his neuroses. UuultraC has three protagonists, and they’re very different from one another. They’re all well-written, though, and you get pretty diverse PoVs as a result. The author has a real talent for writing her PoV characters. Rather than following a route system like Hashihime, you follow three separate couples in a set play order. Their stories all center around the same general plot, but from different perspectives. Having separate couples is kind of nice because the relationships feel very integrated into the story and natural. You’re also not stuck with anyone for too long if there’s one protagonist you dislike. There’s also an insane number of CGs, as in, 1,800ish.
Minor spoilers that answer your last question, but I tried to keep it vague:
No, there’s no robot fucking. The people who fight the kaiju are more like Power Rangers than robots or mech pilots. Some of the human characters can turn into kaiju, which are basically just big monsters. If you’re put off by the giant monsters, I’ll warn you that there is an h-scene that involves one of the boys in a more monstrous form, but I remember him being humanoid through, like, the majority of it. Most of the h-scenes are pretty normal aside from a few, and assuming you’ve played a couple of VNs, I don’t think there’s anything here to worry about. It’s worth a shot. I don’t regret playing it, but it has much less universal appeal than Hashihime. I'd say to avoid it if you're not into abstract stories with a lot left up to interpretation. It’s a really fun game for analyzing its themes/characters, if you’re into that. There’s a lot of depth in both UuultraC and Hashihime, and I’ve found myself thinking about both of them long after I finished in a way I don’t for most games.
