Rape! Rape! Rape! is a nukige developed by VALKYRIA and released back in 2006. The story features a highschool boy named Takumi Mizuhara who is in love with a girl named Ayaka Haruse. When they met at the school roof, Ayaka said to him that his childhood friend Yurine Amamiya is in love with him. This jeopardized Takumi’s hope to be with Ayaka which angered him and because of that, Takumi decided to sneak into Yurine’s home with a mask and rape her in retaliation. Later on during school, he confessed his love towards Ayaka but she rejected him while believing that he’s already together with Yurine. This broke Takumi even more which led him to rape Ayaka too at a dark alleyway. From then on, Takumi grew more fond towards the pleasure of raping women and he started to make his own plans on who his next victims will be.

After playing this visual novel for some time, I’ve pretty much ended up detesting it. There are so many things that I don’t like about this game. The story simply focuses on a deranged/psychotic highschool boy who just enjoys raping other women. While some of the dialogue does talk about the background for these different characters, this contributes very little to the whole story of the visual novel. The vast majority of it heavily focuses on H-scenes where the main protagonist rapes these women. Speaking of the H-scenes, the dialogue within them is nothing worth being so invested in since it mainly talks about the actions associated with Takumi raping his victims and how their minds are slowly degrading. There’s nothing interesting to talk about these H-scenes and needless to say, I skipped most of them.

Another thing I don’t like about this visual novel is its artstyle. Most of the character sprites are greatly sexualized such as wearing tight revealing clothing, having unnaturally large breasts or even having their nipples erect all the time. I get that this is a nukige but this feels unnecessary and just plain weird. I’ve played other nukiges having character sprites that aren’t as sexually revealing and they were better because they felt more natural. In addition, the faces for all of the characters are too similar to each other, having this typical young appearance with big round eyes along with a tiny nose and mouth. And don’t even get me started on its god awful CGI backgrounds. They didn’t have a lot of intricate detail to them and the textures just seem way off, especially under different shades or lightings. It's almost as if the developers simply spent most of their budget on having this nukige titillate the reader and cared almost nothing for the background art which looks like they’ve been made on Google Sketchup.

There are multiple endings within this visual novel and they are acquired based on the choices you make which are all done within a flowchart implemented within the game. You can also unlock certain H-scenes depending on the order of the characters you select and this may require some trial and error. Unfortunately, this visual novel doesn’t have a quick save feature. However, I did find a strategy guide that you can use if you want to save time (link: 2DFan)

Overall, I didn’t enjoy playing this visual novel. Its mainly about a heartbroken highschool boy that ends up raping other women just for the sake of his own pleasure. There was no character development whatsoever and the plot was nothing short of being so simplistic, lacking any form of ambiguity or complexity. This cut and dry story made me lose interest in this visual novel, making me drop it entirely.
