It would have been funny to have a really good Blackjack game that was in a Teenage Girls Room.

It takes about 4.5 hrs to play 1,000 hands, not 15-20 hours. I've logged 13.25 hours and 3,446 hands (I like blackjack).




Sweet Memories: Blackjack is decent. It's an okay-ish blackjack game though there are three quirks in that part. You can not split, you can push when the dealer gets blackjack by just getting 21, and the dealer often sticks lower than 17. So for the card game part of it I would give it a 5 out of 10.


As for the "dating sim" part of it there is only one route to follow. There are other girls you can play at certain times of the day such as the rest of the club during normal school hours or the main girl's sister during the evening. The route itself is quite simple and heavy on "Engrish". I would give that side of the game a 4 out of 10.


Where the game shines though is that there are 26 blackjack achievements to unlock, some of which a very difficult. This makes returning to the game much more pleasurable even after you've finished the story arc which takes about 2,000 hands. They are quite well thought out and often devious and my main pleasure that I've derived from the game.

I feel to say "then you’re sort of weird and might want to look into this game." is really judgemental... Did you rate this game as a "Blackjack game", because that's what it's supposed to be. Maybe you weren't entertained, but you got to acknowledge if it's a decent Blackjack game or not. I feel 2 out of 10 for a Blackjack game should only be given to games that are fundamentaly broken. As per your review, you did not mention that it was broken in any ways but you clearly weren't entertained. Still, I do not think the product deserves a 2 out of 10.

My rough estimate for the hands was roughly one a minute, which I'm guessing might have been off. I apologize.

The sort of weird comment directly refers to the "play blackjack inside a teenage girl's bedroom," which unless that teenage girl is your daughter or you are also a teenage person, is weird. Sorry if it came off differently.

I derived almost zero enjoyment from this game. The blackjack play was slow, and it was painfully boring and uninteresting. The only score guideline we have is a 1.0 is fundamentally broken. We have no direct written delineation for scores outside of 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0 (check our policy :) ). This game might be functional, but its really poorly designed and, in my eyes, not fun at all.

@Tenser - I'm glad you had fun with it. I didn't. That doesn't make you sort of weird, for the record. If you love the game because you can play blackjack with a teenage girl in her bedroom, then it might. :P

@Neal: It's fine, I didn't take it to heart. I only responded because for some reason I felt compelled to add in more details about the game. Not because I'm being defensive about the product, that would imply emotional investment in the game and that would be weird. Very weird indeed, especially since I'm 34 and married.


Also, your review is not wrong. It is a bad game. I would not suggest it to anyone who is interested in dating sims nor anyone who's looking for a serious blackjack game. The blackjack is broken as it does not follow standard casino rules and is of no help to anyone who enjoys gambling on blackjack. If it was my review I would have only given it a 4/10 simply because I enjoyed trying to achieve odd results in blackjack that you normally do not attempt such as win a hand with trip aces, push three times in a row, or win a hand with 6 cards.


Funny little story with the game (contains spoilers):
I was on my lunch break at work when I finished the dating sim "route". After a few lines of REALLY bad Engrish the girls lips pop up on the touch screen. Hoping to God no one was watching I waited for the scene to play out but the image was frozen. Then I realized in horror that the game was waiting for the player to kiss the touch screen. I looked over my shoulder again and then said to myself, "no way in hell" and was about ready to turn the game off until I realized I could just tap the screen with my finger.
