Very nice VN/turn based combat fusion title with a solid English translation loaded with laughs and memorable characters, but janky keyboard controls and a few other issues. I wasn't quite sure what to expect of TTGHD going into it, but now I can't wait to get back to it. At 12 hours I appear to be roughly a third finished, but past my last completed mission the grind ramps up solidly so I could be wrong.

Much of the game revolves around the (arguably far more fun) VN aspects and the use of two reaction wheels to decide how your character reacts to the rest of the cast. You can chase down some romance at game end, but more likely than not you'll spend most of your time messing up reaction choices and laughing at what happens. Case in point, my most recent mission was for a Yakuza clan, and my character ended up licking the head guy's floor mat instead of shaking hands with him...and I still don't know why lol

Sadly you'll spend lots of time fighting the weird control layout that cannot be changed, and this did kill my party in one mission until I became used to it. Saving can only be done between missions until you work further into the game, then you get one extra option but saves remain slightly irritating. You'll also find there's no way to close the game between missions outside of alt tabbing and killing the process. The above still haven't turned me off TTGHD though, and it's easily worth a buy when on sale at it's new reduced price.
