Compile Heart

MAXIMUM DEGENERACY, GO!

In all seriousness, I kinda wanted a thread to navigate how messy this company is.

Do you prefer playing them on Vita, Switch, Steam Drck?

I keep my vita for more personal stuff. Steam deck is primarily a portable ps2. I’m actually not sure about switch but out of all games that migrated out of my switch I still play compile heart stuff mainly cuz pc ports are shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I usually get Compile Heart titles on the PlayStation family of systems unless its only on Nintendo.
I could see loading up a Steam Deck with the PC ports being fun but most of those are kind of shoddy

Was never enough of a degen to get into most of their stuff (mostly Idea Factory's stuff tbf) but I did have fun with Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God and Trillion: God of Destruction on my Vita! Gonna go back and platinum them sometime this year I reckon. Sorcery Saga was a very straightforward yet cute roguelike with well paced dungeons and a charming enough cast that hits all the right tropes that make ya feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Trillion was a bit more unique thanks to the main gimmick of the big baddie being an enemy with a trillion HP that you are slowly widdling away at over the course of the game. Definitely more fanservicey but it was also a solid enough game structurally with a cute enough central gimmick that I enjoyed my time.

It is a shame because I had a buddy who was super duper ultra into Idea Factory's stuff - mainly Neptunia - so he'd try to get me into them a ton throughout 2015 and 2016 but the only one I was ever able to get into was the crossover with Sega Hard Girls, also on Vita. I'm enough of a Sega freak that I was able to just vibe with that one.

With most RPGs I tend to prefer them on handhelds whenever possible, so I'd probably go Vita/Switch for everything, with Vita being my preferred driver whenever possible due to the more compact form factor and my affinity for trophies.

I did wanna get into a couple of their other games like Fairy Fencer F or Omega Quintet. Do you happen to have any opinions on them?

Yeah I think they’re cool

Compile was very cool, puyo puyo, aleste, zanac, musha, madou monogatari...
How they ended like this... it's really a shame.

I like a lot of their games because: the majority of their ideas are ridiculous and they know it, the humor in Neptunia is a proof of that, and I kinda like that sincerity. I usually play them on the vita but I have some on Steam.

Compile and compile heart are different studios. Agree on Puyo Puyo.

Nobody thinks their own ideas are ridiculous. They'd be better yet if they stopped "knowing it" and went with a truly uncensored script.

I'm glad they mind their audience a bit when it comes to gameplay, though.

CH/IF wise I only ever liked Neptunia enough to play.
I do appreciate that Game Maker Revolution toned down the fan service though.

What, do they do like Ecchi RPGs?
*Google Search*
Oh No.

I met this company because of Dark Rose Valkyrie
Don't know why it doesn't have a version for vita, would be great

I squeal with joy a little bit inside, every time I see Nep Nep.

I watched one episode of the Valkyrie Drive anime series and, while it was cute, I didn’t really have much interest in the characters, so I never bought the game.

The only Compile Heart game I’d ever want to play is the Neptunia/Sega Hard Girls crossover, but I bet it’s not even that good.

Sega Hard Girls

This is why we’re friends.
