Reviews and criticism

The studio's first game, "War Goddess", met with primarily neutral or somewhat negative reviews, due to technical issues, repetitive music, and the story, which was regarded as mediocre at best. [http://www.gem.hi-ho.ne.jp/hika/review/01a/ikusamga.htm ja icon] Some sources cited the original nature of the battle system and well-produced CG images as positive aspects. [ [http://www.densetsu.com/display.php?id=252&style=alphabetical Display Review ] ]

"War Goddess 2" received fairly positive reviews for its characters and gameplay system [http://www5.plala.or.jp/moe/review/big_review/ikusa2.htm ja icon] , but was criticized as, like its predecessor, having a weak main plot and requiring excessive time to be spent on levelling in order to advance.

"Maid in Bunny" was praised for its art and "Zelda"-like gameplay; the most common complaint was of the game being too short. [ [http://www.densetsu.com/display.php?id=430&style=alphabetical Display Review ] ]
