Small Tactics

Shou Senjutsu is a fast-paced real time strategy game with a simple goal. Produce your units, earn money, fund your research and your units, defend your fortress and attack your opponent's. The setup is basic but functional; the game is played entirely with the mouse, and selecting a unit and left- or right-clicking will order the unit to move or attack an enemy unit. You begin the game with only access to a simple tank, but as you advance research, you can then produce more advanced units such as missile launchers, bombers, up to the devastating railgun. When you destroy your opponent's fortress, you clear the stage. At this point, you unlock a feature with the girl that you beat, which lets you undress her piece by piece in a kisekae (paper doll) system of clothing removal.

I actually really like this game for its ease of learning how to play. It's not like many RTS games that spend several stages with exercises that are aimed to teach you how to use each unit; you really can just pick it up and play it from the first stage. There is no real storyline to the game. You're just playing a blue-vs.-red strategy game against girls, and they let you strip them down if you win. The in-game graphics aren't going to impress anyone who has played other, more recent RTS games, but they do have that retro, early polygonal look to them that reminds me of strategy and tactics games I played during the days of DOS.

The ecchi artwork in this game is quite good, but I find that the real appeal is in the game itself, since the real-time strategy genre is one of my favorites. As such, I can honestly recommend it for anyone who enjoys this type of game and wants it flavored with more of an adult twist.
