    I wanted to like this game, heard it was censored, but thought how bad could it be cut up?
    apparently a LOT. pink fog, added animal tails cover almost anything you could possibly see.

I am completely lost at why a company that knows a game is aimed at a certain gamer type, would take out everything those gamers were after.....

    they ruined what would have been a pervs delight, what made it unique.

    This game is... Very unique, to say the least. I felt really weird about purchasing this game, since I am usually turned off by pervy games (Senran Kagura i'm pointing at you!)

What I did not expect is to enjoy both the battle system and pervy moments; I often laughed at the ridiculous interactive scenes with the girls. The story isn’t anything special, but I never intended to play the game for that anyways (I mean come on, the game is called Criminal Girls Invite Only). In the end, I am really enjoying this game. BUT I do have one warning, do not play this game in public with the volume turned up to 100 percent! I can only imagine the looks you would get…… Expand

    I bought this game because I've been suffering from a dirth of JRPGs and I though this one looked adorable. Boy, was I wrong. Definitely a dirty, dirty game so be warned.

    Take what you hear about this game with a grain of salt. From a perspective of an honest JRPG maniac this game was all around solid. I'm sure the big companies love thrashing this game for its perverse nonsense but that's simply a matter of culture differences.

From a perspective of an honest JRPG maniac this game was all around solid. I'm sure the big companies love thrashing this game for its perverse nonsense but that's simply a matter of culture differences. To summarize the experience i had, the game throws a unique twist on JRPG combat and the story was surprisingly crafted quite nicely. The art for the mini game was extremely well made. However, since you have to do the mini game several times it can get a tad stale.

    The long story short is the game is ok. Don't dive into it expecting anything huge and you'll get a several hours of a solid jrpg. Most of the games challenge can be overcome with grinding and items, dungeons feel a bit liner but not anywhere near FF13 level.

    On a separate note, the censorship is nothing and almost random at times. Most of the time theyre just hiding panties (or crotch lines) but nothing that would be classed as porn, and in turn the pink clouds make it feel like they're actually hiding something. Another common thing i see floating around is animal tails, but those are actually meant to be there so its just people being jerks. NISA did what they needed so we could play the actual game.    … Expand

    I enjoy this game so much. Sometimes it feels as if it's working against you because a character won't offer up the right spells, but I kinda like having stuff out of my hands for once. It allows me to be more adaptive and feel like I'm in a tight spot. That's possible in other games, but Criminal Girls offers a fine take on battle and dungeon crawling.

    Ok, this game is by no means a great one, but it isn't a bad one, it has a really interesting mechanics and story telling, yes it feels like a rpg maker game (and it might be), i´ve played by around 6-9 hours, and it is decent, what might be the issue here is that this is not a 60 dollars game, the assets feel outdated and the exploration is not that great, i also don't understand why itOk, this game is by no means a great one, but it isn't a bad one, it has a really interesting mechanics and story telling, yes it feels like a rpg maker game (and it might be), i´ve played by around 6-9 hours, and it is decent, what might be the issue here is that this is not a 60 dollars game, the assets feel outdated and the exploration is not that great, i also don't understand why it was censored, the "controversial" content is really not that over the top, it is even dull, but well, whatever, just don't buy it at full price and you won't regreat it (maybe 10-20 dollars is ok)… Expand

    It's not the best game in the world. But it did hold my interest enough to play it all the way to the end. I will say this, they really need to stop censoring games, it's just a pain.

    Es un gran juego con una historia entretenida con batallas nada complicadas. La exploración de los diferentes niveles no es nada tediosa y en lo general es bastante divertido. Pero tiene un gran problema: Esta extremadamente censurado y es bastante molesto lidiar con una gran nube rosa en el momento mas divertido del juego.

    this game is pretty good, i got invested in the story and the characters were like-able. the battle system while sometimes luck based is also nice. this is not a game you should play in public because of the not so safe for work motivation minigame. even when censored you don't want to be seen in public with it.

    Controversial? Maybe. Interesting? No. I nearly died of boredom. [08/2015, p.79]

    Despite the desperate efforts of its kinky spanking, erotic imagery and unpredictable battle system, Criminal Girls: Invite Only is a crashing bore.

    A dungeon crawler RPG with a little bit of fetish and a very unique battle-system. If you enjoy dungeon-crawling RPG games and sexy anime, take a quick look at Criminal Girls: Invite Only.
