The Epitome of Addicting
Although the controls and visuals are downright basic and quite primitive, the draw of the game, I'd say, is the fact that you can get big on NG, if only in a game. The 'Stickers' function adds a nice bonus to the gameplay, as players get to pursue new goals. Needless to say, this game is the 'epitome of addicting'. I stayed up from 9 P.M. to 3 A.M., and I still only got up to Moderator. There's also strategy involved, for instance, Intelligence points are key to the mastery of this game, because without it, you can't get high amounts of blams/protections and reviews.
Unfortunately, when the game has been completed, as in all the stickers and rankings have been obtained, there really isn't anything to do. I know a game must come to some sort of end, but after everything has been accomplished, the game gets the be a bore. I must, however, that the Debug mode is a nice feature for future use.
You're great with capturing the essence, the core, of a basic simulation game, Afro-Samurai, and I look forward to more from you.
