Captain Firehawk and the Laser Love Situation

Captain Firehawk and the Laser Love Situation is one of those games where I had a smile on my face the whole time that I was playing it. This is a lewd shoot-em-up and it is just do damn entertaining. It has a fantastic story that legit made me laugh on multiple occasions, and the game has a very retro anime vibe to it that I thought was a ton of fun. I have played a few different lewd shooters over the years, but this one is right up there as one of, if not the best, I have had the pleasure to play.

Giant Women Are Destroying The Galaxy

Forget the Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer video game, Galactus has nothing on the giant space babes that are the villains of Captain Firehawk and the Laser Love Situation! In this galaxy, these giantesses are taking over, one planet at a time, and now they have come to our planet, and they need to be stopped. The thing is, stopping these giant big tiddy babes is easier said than done, and it is going to require a real ragtag group to be able to pull this off!

The Three Heroes The Galaxy Needs

Thankfully, we have a great squad of heroes that can save the day in Captain Firehawk and the Laser Love Situation. We have Emmy, who is a super smart babe and the team's engineer, and we have a cute little robot who may or may not have his sights set on Hollywood. Then we have the real hero, Captain Firehawk, a pizza delivery guy who just so happens to have a pilots license and the best damn video game skills on the planet. The anime vibes that this story has are awesome, and I love how tongue-in-cheek the whole thing is. As I said in the intro, I was smiling the whole time I was playing this game. If you are an old-school anime fan, you will get a huge kick out of the various anime tropes that the story has.

A Strip-Em-Up

Captain Firehawk and the Laser Love Situation is a vertical shooter. You need to plow through the enemies, collecting coins that will make your shots more powerful as well as give you the money to make it home and repair your ship. The shooting mechanics and controls are nice and tight, but there are no permanent upgrades, so it is a little basic for a shooter, but it is still fun. The boss battles are awesome and you are tasked with taking down an enemy, but you also need to shoot all of the clothes off the giantesses, this is key if you want to see the XXX stuff! There are also some visual novel type sections, as well, which I thought were fun. Fun is honestly the best way to describe the experience you will have here.

Renting From The Video Store

I just adore the whole 80s and early 90s style and vibes that Captain Firehawk and the Laser Love Situation has. The way the game zooms in and out during the arcade scene was such a cool effect. The design of the characters is a lot of fun, and if you are a classic anime fan, you will love it. The actual gameplay looks great too, there is a lot of stuff going on during gameplay, but I never found it all that hard to keep track of my ship and where enemies and bullets were. The XXX content in the game is a ton of fun, I found it hilarious how our dude always had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth! The game just oozes charm, and it even has a few display options if you want to tinker with it and give it even more of an old school feel.

Pros:

• The story is awesome and hilarious
• The cast of characters are very entertaining
• I found the shooter gameplay to be a lot of fun and frantic!
• This game has an amazing anime style presentation

Cons:

• I do wish that there were permanent upgrades that carried from stage to stage
• While I loved the story, some of the scenes may go on just a hair too long
