A boy's dream? Game opinion

No sexiam intended, but the stereotype boy would probably enjoy this game. Why? Because they get to fight monsters and, what the game calls, "classmate" (there is a pun in there if you get it) with some of his classmates to help fight in these 'Dusk Circles'.

What am I talking about? Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars.

*SPOILERS AHEAD: CONTINUE AT OWN RISK*

I came across this game through the Nintendo Game store via my 2DS, and thought it would amuse myself and some friends (if they know about it) if I download the demo version of the game and start playing.

So the 'Seven Stars' in the title represent the number of girls you get to 'classmate' with, each having their own story with you, Wake Archus (a default name). You are given the nickname 'God's Gift' due to the large amount of ether which enables you to go into dusk circles with the accompnay of one of the seven girls and three groups of three children that you have 


  • Wake: Wake is a teenager that has traveled to the Academy with the intent to help fight against the monsters that are threatening the world. His character is driven to fight due to him having witnessed several monsters slaughter his sister on her wedding day. Wake is voiced by Sam Riegel in the English version of the game.

  • Fuuko: Fuuko is a pink-haired teenager with a chipper personality. She joins the swim team and in her personal story line Fuuko interacts with the ghost of a female student that died while trying to eradicate an underwater nest of monsters. Her character is able to be selected to go into the labyrinths and classmate with. Fuuko is voiced by Kate Higgins in the English version of the game.

  • Narika: Narika is a shy, quiet female student that serves as the class representative. Her personal story line surrounds Narika's fear and seeming inability to speak in public due to her having a low personal opinion of her self-worth. Her character is able to be selected to go into the labyrinths and classmate with. Narika is voiced by Karen Strassman in the English version of the game.

  • Serina: Serina is an older female student that looks like she is in her early teens. She is older than Wake and most of the other female characters and is frequently frustrated at her youthful appearance. In her story line she struggles with her own self-image, as she dislikes that she looks like a child and is frequently treated like one. Her character is able to be selected to go into the labyrinths and classmate with. Serina is voiced by Cristina Valenzuela in the English version of the game.

  • Chloe: Chloe is a teenager that serves as a teacher at the Academy, having graduated early due to her advanced intellect. She is the older sister of Chlotz, a male student and friend of the lead character. In her story line she pursues a side career as a singer and DJ, but is upset by the troubles and disruptions this causes. Her character is able to be selected to go into the labyrinths and classmate with. Chloe is voiced by Wendee Lee in the English version of the game.

  • Torri: Torri is a teenage student with monochromatic hair. She is shown to be quite strange and her personal story line reflects her struggles to fit in with the people around her. Her character is able to be selected to go into the labyrinths and classmate with.

  • Ellie: Ellie is a fellow female student that works for the Church. She knows Wake from their childhood, although he initially does not remember their meeting, during which point they were attacked by a monster. Her character is able to be selected to go into the labyrinths and classmate with. Ellie is voiced by Eden Riegel in the English version of the game.
  • Feene: Feene is a female student introduced early in the game but is not made into a playable heroine until midway through game play. She is an accomplished fighter and has a big interest in photography. Her story line follows her interest in photography. Her character is able to be selected for labyrinth fighting and classmating. Feene is voiced by Erin Fitzgerald in the English version of the game.
  • Alec: Alec is a male student at the Academy and the initial story line shows him to be an outwardly cold character, which is shown to be false as the game progresses. He is very driven, which initially causes strife between him and the main character. Alex is voiced byDavid Vincent in the English version of the game.
  • Chlotz: Chlotz is the same age as the main character and is the younger brother of Chloe. In the game he works in the Academy's laboratory and will participate in several of the experiments involving classmanting, where male students can create star children. He has a crush on a fellow female student named Luce, which is initially not reciprocated due to her love for Alex. Chlotz is voiced by Steve Staley in the English version of the game.

I haven't gotten up to the part where I get to play with Feene just yet, but I have no idea how I am suppose to play the game properly. I do enjoy picking the different jobs that you can unlock for your children, especially if the rare occurrence of you having twins happens. There was a time that twins appeared and, I think it was extremely rare that one was a girl while the other was a boy. What I don't like about the children selection is not being able to make up names for them. You can choose from the names already in the system, but they're usually repetitive, especially since you can make them into independents. Making your child into an independent will upgrade your level for your city and then you will not be able to play with them in the future. Of course you have to unlock the jobs and some you are not able to select, and I have no idea the reason why.
