<report>This VN is on par with Maggot Baits, Euphoria and Mugen Renkan and can be considered a dark eroge with a lot of violence, sexual torture, but with a serious and thoughtful plot.
In short, it's "Madoka in space, where the main enemy are the tentacle monsters. So basically the enemies have tentacles and magical girls have mini-skirts. You get where this is going, right?
This is one of the few VNs where the "The Hornier you are, the stronger you are" trope is plot-driven and works well. If you liked Euphoria and Maggot Baits, you'll like this one too. I give it my seal of approval and recommend it to those who have guts and crave something dark and stimulating. Intellectually stimulating of course!

<report>pros:

- good art
- intriguing plot
- unique and detailed take on mindbreak and adaptaion to abnormal conditions
- decent character development

cons:

- sci-fi feels too soft and unbelievable
- some plot holes
- underdeveloped male characters
- a few unrealistic mood swings by main characters
- sex scenes feel repetitve and unoriginal

neutral:

- torture scenes (not my thing)
- consensual sex is scarce

<report>If you've grown tired of all the highschool drama VNs dealing with trivial slice-of-life matters with overused stereotypical student archetypes and you're not triggered by non-consensual sex then I'd recommend this VN.

You follow the journey of a new recruit who after being saved from an alien invasion as a child has decided to join the ongoing war effort against these outsiders. What are the trials she will face?

You will feel a constant sense of uneasiness as you play and experience the loneliness of space, the instinct to survive, the adrenaline of battle, the sense of hopelessness and giving into despair. And after all that? Relief from the catharsis.

Without a doubt this is the best VN I've seen in the past year.

<report>Without spoilng anything, Dead End Aegis is probably one of the best eroge I've every played, PERIOD. It's definitely not a game for everyone, not just because of the pretty hardcore contents but also the themes it encompasses within it as well. If you're looking for a dark fantasy story, this will be right up your alley and more...if you can stomach it, that is.

<report>I had a lot of expectations with this game, since I knew a little about the scenarios and... Disappointing. I was expecting some really trashy scenes and in the end not so much. Obviously, it'll be trashy if you're not used to this genre, but nothing that will turn your stomach except for the borderline tentacle scenes. The sex scenes are annoying but fortunately easy to skip. The characters are so boring too. Lisette, Nana please shut up. And of course, very, VERY little choice. You probably have 4-5 in all.

<report>I really tried to like this game in some way or to appreciate the deeper meaning.
While some say it's there to show the horrible things, it's ultimately just one thing: a perfidious game to cover perfidious fetishes. These women are never happy, nor are they given the opportunity to learn from things. They're just being abused in every way imaginable, mentally and physically. Everyone can tell me what they want, but the author just loves to make his protagonists suffer and live out his fantasies.
I've read so much fucked up stuff and I like trash, but this is just garbage. The main thing is that the girls are raped and abused again. You can't expect a special story content here.

<report>Had to put this review out there to save time for the real people out there.

This VN is just a dark nukige. The plot just sets up for porn. There's nothing to it, it is just fetish porn. The hscenes are something you'll find out of a Taimanin series.

These mfs will hype it up and tell you to throughly look through hscenes of guro, people getting raped, and sex trained for 10 hours straight to tell you it's a dark masterpiece. They're 100% baiting don't fall for it cause it is literally fetish porn.

That is the experience of reading this VN like come on man have some fucking awareness. How the fuck are you going to convince me it is some well written narrative and peak fiction. Characters exist solely for theme and porn. The majority of these reviews are capping out of their asses LMFAO
