About Exes Assault!!
Exes Assault!! is a BL Bara visual novel from Ertal Games released on October 15, 2025. It combines dating sim mechanics with anime-style storytelling, focusing on a cast of four exes entangled in a chaotic romantic comedy. The game plays out like a choose-your-own-adventure script, where dialogue options and relationship-building choices shape outcomes. Set in a neon-lit, art-school-inspired setting, it leans heavily into fanservice and over-the-top banter. The single-player mode prioritizes narrative over action, with branching paths and multiple endings. It’s not deep, but it’s polished and packed with exaggerated character dynamics.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time reading dense dialogue, selecting responses that shift relationships between characters, and viewing animated cutscenes. The story unfolds over a dozen hours, split into episodes with optional minigames like rhythm challenges or dating scenarios. Your choices lock in permanent paths, so you’ll likely replay to chase different romance arcs. Combat is nonexistent, everything hinges on personality stats and timing clicks to hit key moments. Controls are mouse-only, which feels clunky during fast-paced scenes. The game thrives on its absurd humor and art style, but gameplay is linear and decision-heavy without meaningful branching consequences.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 3.2/5, with 42% completing the main story. Average playtime is 14 hours, and 68% of players describe it as “cringe but addictive.” Community moods lean “nostalgic” (34%) and “laughed out loud” (29%), though 21% call it “derivative.” Critics highlight the “overcooked art style” but question the lack of branching consequences. Achievement hunters note 37 total trophies, with 75% earning “Bad Exes” for completing all romance paths. Steam reviews are split: 58% praise the “cheesy charm,” while 32% complain about “forced dialogue.”
PlayPile's Take
It’s a niche pick for fans of BL and anime-style romcoms, but don’t expect substance. At $29.99, it’s cheap for the genre, though the lack of meaningful replayability might not justify a second playthrough. Achievements add incentive, but the story’s predictability will test patience. If you’re into exaggerated drama and want to see how the exes mess up, give it a shot. Otherwise, skip for something with deeper mechanics.
