To Love-Ru Trouble: Doki Doki! Rinkaigakkou-Hen
Rito Yuki is an average high school kid; he’s not particularly athletic, and
always gets nervous around girls. One day, though, a cute alien princess named
Lala showed up at his house and moved in with him, and things haven’t been the
same since. Lala starts going to his school, learning about Earth life, and
making Rito’s daily existence far more difficult than it need be. But despite
living with a cute young girl, he only has eyes for his long-time crush,
Haruna Sairenji.
To LOVE-Ru is a Japanese-style adventure game based on the ecchi-comedy
anime and manga series created by Saki Hasemi and Kentaro Yabuki. Rito’s class
is off to a beach resort for a four-day school trip, meaning lots of fun and
lots of cute girls in swimsuits. The story is told from Rito’s perspective as
the trip progresses, and the player is regularly given choices that affect the
story path and which character’s ending the game leads to. For example, while
riding on the bus to the resort, the player can choose to sit with either
Haruna or Lala.
Additionally, there “Trouble” events every so often, in which the player must
hit the shoulder buttons at the proper time to prevent an accident or help
another character out. There are also minigames such as a watermelon smash and
a tug-of-war contest. All dialogue in the game is fully voiced, and the player
can save at any point. Additionally, recent dialogue is stored in a log so the
player can reread conversations, and even listen to the dialogue again. After
completing the game, a bonus mode is unlocked where the various in-game images
can be viewed. There are multiple endings depending on the player’s choices in
the game, each involving a different character.
