Moero Chronicle

The game is a dungeon crawler where the player is required to navigate through maps containing enemies. Battles are turn-based, and involve attacking parts of enemy monster girls so that their clothes fall off; eventually at the end of the battle, the player is required to rub the monster girl using the front and rear touchpads of the PlayStation Vita, in a manner similar to that of the previous game Monster Monpiece. The player decides on which monster girls are placed within the party, and are able to swap their underwear, which serves as the main customizable equipment of the game. Changing underwear affects the abilities each girl has, in addition to their skill points. Strange Monsters can also be obtained and combined with Raw Material Panties to create new items, depending on the combination of raw materials used. The player is able to visit the personal rooms of monster girls to bond with them and raise their affection, where they may give them presents or trigger special event scenes. Upon befriending a monster girl, they are added to a compendium, where the player can view artwork of the girls without makeup applied. == Plot ==

Famitsu gave the Japanese version of Moero Chronicle a review score of 31/40. Supply of the game amongst retailers became limited within the first week of release in Japan as it became sold out within stores, with an initial batch of 50,000 copies shipped nationwide. That week, the game sold 32,957 copies, placing second place within the Japanese software sales charts behind The Idolmaster One For All. Operation Rainfall scored Moe Chronicle 3.5 stars out of 5, praising the music, art, and ecchi content, but criticized the gameplay due to its lack of depth, writing "if you are into Compile Heart, dungeon RPGs and ecchi – this game is perfect for you if you haven’t picked it up yet, even if you only want to show support for uncensored Asian English releases." == References ==
