[News] Tentacles and Magical Girls in New Valkyria Game

Tentacle rape and Valkyria go like peanut butter and jelly, it's one of their main staples. So, it's really no surprise that their newly announced title, Denma Zecchou☆Mahou Shoujo Suzuha ~Kagaku to Mahou to Shokushu Inshun~ goes back to that familiar well.

Literally, the title translates to Lightning Demonic Orgasm☆Magical Girl Suzuha ~Magical Girl of Science and the Crawling Tentacles~, but as one would expect, there's a double meaning with "Denma" being a made-up word that also implies a mix of technology and magic. Not sure if Zecchou can also have a double meaning here. I digress.

The game premise is simple: Earth is invaded by an alien lifeform known as Barbaroi, a mass of tentacles that is impervious to all conventional weaponry. With mankind driven to the brink of extinction, the Earth's essence (in the form of a condescending fairy-like creature called Kyupii) chooses a girl called Sono to be a Magical Girl and fight them off. Two years pass, and life returns to a semblance of normalcy while the magical girl imbued with divine powers fights off the invaders. A sense of apathy sets in and people treat Sono's life-and-death battles like a spectacle, much to her dismay.

That's when a girl called Suzuha witnesses her weeping and, deciding the way people are treating her is wrong, decides she wants to help. This is when she meets a scientist who gives a hi-tech battle suit called Magical Dress that can mimic the powers of a Magical Girl through science. And thus, the Magical Girls of Divinity and Science stand together against the alien menace. Which of course means they'll get raped over and over again by endless hordes of tentacles.

One interesting thing is that the character profiles highlight Kyupii's sense of self-preservation a lot, which makes me think the little slimeball will sell out the magical girls to the invaders in at least one ending.

On top of that, there's also a mysterious shadowy figure that appears to be the leader of the Barbaroi. A tentacle girl, of course.

I'm usually not that big into tentacles and have not played many of Valkyria's tentacle games, but this one caught my attention. First, magical girls with rocket boosters are my religion, and second, the setup and dynamic between the two heroines, with Suzuha wanting to help Sono and Sono pushing her away, thinking of her as a fake magical girl while herself is cracking under the pressure of defending the ungrateful masses, sounds interesting, I want to see them broken and twisted.

Art is done by C.R, an artist I'm not familiar with, but I like what I see in the previews.

There's not much else to say, really, just wanted to highlight this game. Mahou Shoujo Suzuha is scheduled to be released on July 26.
