Beat Blades Haruka

Beat Blades Haruka

Evil ninja have invaded Japan to try and conquer it with their devant ideals and revive the ancient creature that grants them power! And the only way to stop them–is to get it on with your own group of ninja!

Takamaru was living an ordinary life, looking for love. Despite the valliant efforts of his landlord’s daughter, Narika, to get in the way, one day Takamaru falls for a girl named Haruka at first sight.

That very evening, Takamaru and Narika are attacked by a mysterious group of ninja only to be saved by none other than Haruka clad in kunoichi gear. In an even more shocking turn of events, Haruka declares Takamaru her master and asks him to have sex with her!

It turns out that Takamaru is the heir to a clan of heroic ninja known as the Crescent Moons and as such he has the ability to provide a supernatural energy called Sex Power (SP) through sexual activity.

Thanks to Takamaru’s generous “assistance”, Haruka manages to fight off the ninja, but this is only the beginning of their long and arduous battle…

I am going to buy this tommorow on Mangagamer, they deserve the money for translating this piece of art, hehe
onanReply
I made a point of grabbing this from MangaGamer too. It's the first Alicesoft title officially released in English and they need to know there's a market for their stuff.

Dammit, I want uncensored Rance games, this is the only way. :(

is sad that i really want to support mangagamer and because of my shitty government (Venezuela) i can't buy this game from them.
AnonymousReply
Can anyone confirm whether or not it is possible to avoid all rape for the two main girls if you stay off the evil route(s)?
Derp DerpingtonReply
I think absolute majority of rape happens ONLY when you lose fights (so if you dont lose, no rape ^^ )

and if you failed somehow, the game still asks you if you want to SKIP the rape scene.
(read MG translator blog posts for more info. He promises 170 H-scenes, heh)

if you dont want to see any rape, then you wont see it. Simple.
AnonymousReply
Cool. Thank you very much!
andhrosReply
sorta spoilers. 2 Heroines you have to lose to see rape, is skippable.
DragReply
I only would like to remeber you guys that if Mangagamer don't earn money on this title there wont be any other titles from Alicesoft. BTW I already brough my copy today. Have a nice day.
peacefireReply
This isn't how business works. This product would actually be more damaging than good for anybody interested in alicesoft's more unique gameplay oriented titles.
AnonReply
Except that Maria already mentioned that Alicesoft is testing the Western market with this game. If this title does not sell well then they can decide to stop publishing their titles
Derp DerpingtonReply
yes, exactly.

If you guys want to see more AliceSoft games, then please go buy this on Mangagamer

if it sells, we will see more of their games (even Rance games!!!)
khorneReply
I tried to buy it, unfortunatly i can't without a credit card, and those are pretty rare where i live. So thats a no go.
peacefireReply
You realize that Maria has been a Mangagamer employee for at least 3 years now, right? Probably not the most unbiased source of information on the subject, considering their livelihood is pretty much dependent on BBH doing well.

No, Alicesoft is not "testing the waters". That's not how these things work. Alicesoft has already been paid in full, aside from some standard royalties at best.

You're getting BBH because Mangagamer doesn't want to pour the time, effort, or money into Alicesoft's better titles. Which is probably smart, because Alicesoft will not sell the rights for a popular series like Rance at a price that Mangagamer could pull profits on.

BBH on the other hand, is one of Alicesofts least popular series, required very little programming/localization work, and appeals to the mangagamer crowd since it's basically just a nukige at its root. This is likely the kinds of games MG will stick to, if it chooses to pursue any more IPs from Alicesoft - no doubt while continuing to wave the metaphorical rance carrot in front of your face.

If this kind of game is your thing by all means go for it. It's really important to support companies that produce games you enjoy. Just don't buy into it thinking it's going to get you better titles from Alicesoft.
Derp DerpingtonReply
I dont think you are right person to judge. Only time can tell.

If MG doesnt start translating another AliceSoft stuff within a year, then your speculation was true.
But if they start doing some serious work, then you were deeply wrong...

I am waiting 12 months and until then I am giving them benefit of doubt (I will support them by buying good games)
AndhrosReply
I wouldn't get too excited or pessimistic. Yes MG and Alicesoft have partnered which was unthinkable a few years ago. However, there are quite a few finished and in progress fan translations, apart from Rance, that depending on quality and price for the translations we would see first.

I don't recall MG saying Rance, just Alicesoft, so be careful of assumptions because those positive vibes can some undone.
HuevoPodridoReply
Won't be just better to ask them directly? Not answering is as good as a no so...it save us a year of wondering and speculating.
peacefireReply
Assuming there are no plans for rance, do you really trust MG to give an honest straight forward answer when the rance series is currently being used to push BBH sales?
AndhrosReply
You would most likely get a lot of circular talk. Rance is old. It has many main titles and offshoots. Where do they start? How should it be sold? What are the expectations of Alicesoft? A strong showing here helps MG immensely, but we can only speculate at the future.
peacefireReply
Sure, I could be wrong. I rather hope I am since I've heavily enjoyed all of the Alicesoft games I've played (aside from BBH). I'm only human and am not privy to the talks going on behind closed doors.

But I think an educated guess is a little safer than blind optimism pulled straight from an American company's publicity machine.
Derp DerpingtonReply
true that.

but like I have said: I am giving them benefit of doubt.

I am not going out of my way to buy bad games, but I am willing to pay money for the games that are worth it (eg. BBH)
UnknownOriginReply
Not all licensing deal is pure upfront cost, most licensing deal is a combination of both upfront and royalties(percentage of sales, either revenue or unit sold).

Unless you have some inside information on how exactly the deal went, there is a very high likelihood that Alicesoft is testing the western marketing by lowering the upfront cost to something that MG can afford and try to return the investment from future royalties. Either way Alicesoft has nothing to lose (as long as the upfront cost covers stuff like voice actors), but one method has a much better long-term prospect.

Also, BBH is the closest thing to something in-between Alicesoft's real game titles and their nukige titles. If they really want to just dingle a carrot, they should've started with the pure Nukige first. Otherwise, it becomes extremely clear that they are just lying if their next game is a nukige. The only other game that they may get away with is BAE. Everything else is either Nukige or has significant amount of gameplay.

That is not to say they will release Rance. But there is a huge slew of other RPG games that alicesoft have, Rance isn't their only IP.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GAME!!!! OMG!! I have literally been waiting for this eroge to come out ever since i read the ero-manga and hentai.........THIS IS GONNA BE FUN! ^_^

have you tried patching the game? the patch is in the mangagamer website

i cant play it :(
system40 always stopped working :(
and really this game no patch?
sorry bad english :(
RedRumReply
I tried it on my laptop and other computer, and weirdly enough, it works fine. all three are windows 10 by the way.

System40 crashes immediately after opening it for my one specific computer.

guess ill try some other things and post it here if i found any solution to this.
JasonReply
so did you find out the problem :x
RedRumReply
nope, been trying a lot of stuff and still same error, (installed cccp 32 and 64bit and some among changes in config for the pc etc.). might as well give up and play this on my laptop T_T
EReply
You cant give up. I need you to fix my game. :(
darkmega926Reply
I managed to find a way to play the game with the "System40" error.

It requires you to install Virtual Box and running Vista OS through it to play.
EReply
What sort of problem would that even indicate if a virtual vista os works but compatibility mode vista doesnt?
darkmega926Reply
Honestly I don't know. I only tried this because of another fighting game eroge I loved to play was "Duel Savior" that had a similar problem. It was not at all compatible with windows 8 even if I used compatibility mode on the game. I found out through googling for solutions that it could run on a older OS through Virtual Box. That's why I tried "Beat Blades Haruka" with the same method.
AgosReply
How do you get the evil route?
RandomReply
Check this wikia. It has all the stuff about the game including the requirements for all the endings. I think that it has how to get all the scenes too, but parts of it are still in japanese so i am not entirely sure.

NimnthorReply
Couldn't view the movie (had sound just no video) even after installing the 32-bit CCCP (had 64 bit) so I tinkered around and managed to view the video after playing around with my graphic card settings. So if anyone has problems with the vid, you might want to take a look there.
RedRumReply
Thanks, Mine crashes immediately with no sounds whatsoever.

I'll try fiddling with my gfx config and see if it would help

for reference what graphics card you have and OS version?
KrasusReply
Please help the system40.exe data is every time i extract it after a very short time removed. I have windows 10.
Anyway thanks for this game.
(sorry for my bad english)
KrasusReply
Sorry, my bad. Norton did remove the file (and many more) but did take its time too tell me (over 30min).
Now it is workin, thanks again for this game, looks great even if there is only one good looking heroine (Yes the cute one).
KrasusReply
I can not believe it, after my problem thanks to norton i could play the game, then after reaching the first video i had an error that it could not play. I re installed it because i was thinking something was missing and now the game crash every singel time.
I allready downloadet and deletet it. please help me.

I can go to the menu of the game, after chosing an option (load, new game, etc) the entire monitor goes black even if i start windowed.

It is even more frustrating because it worked in the beginning and allready played a bit.

besides i would realy love to buy this game, but i do not want to get a credit card for one game.
adminReply
Video problems in any game posted on this site are usually caused by lack of codecs - install CCCP codec pack, restart PC and try again.
KrasusReply
it works now (besides seeing the movies) thanks a lot for the help

besides how important are the movies?
DeshReply
Since I already had CCCP and it wasn't working I fiddled a bit with it, and even though I run a 64-bit OS I had to download the 32-bit CCCP as well to get it to give me playback in game. I'd suggest trying that and see if it fixes your problem
KrasusReply
Thats it, realy thanks a lot, now i can finaly see the movies.
I would have never thougth that downloading the 32 bit one and restarting the pc would do the trick.
jib123Reply
Do I also have to download the 64bit one? Coz i only downloaded the 32 bit, restarted my laptop and it still didnt work. Do I need to fiddle with the CCCP settings too?
BTW i have a 64bit OS

Wow... thanks Alice Soft, MangaGamer, and admin... To be honest, I'm very surprised (and very glad of course) it has been translated at the end of Feb 16, 'cause I'm following the translator program development, which saying its still years to go. I'm already download the Jap ver. so now it's time to download the english version :D

My mail:

Hi,
I’m overjoyed to have an Alicesoft title avaliable in mangagamer, and even thou I know Haruka has to be a good game, i wanted to ask you guys if you have plans for other Alicesoft games. Not next week, month or even year, but all the comunity of this kind of games is hoping that supporting Haruka, they may see in the future how mangagamer brings Rances saga.


Just a word of advice guys, I hope Haruka becames succesful on sales, but Rance is all we want, you have a guaranteed succes there. Here are some coments from some fórums that explains better tan me my point:

“I only would like to remeber you guys that if Mangagamer don’t earn money on this title there wont be any other titles from Alicesoft. BTW I already brough my copy today. Have a nice day.”

“If you guys want to see more AliceSoft games, then please go buy this on Mangagamer
if it sells, we will see more of their games (even Rance games!!!)”


And the last one is the longest but the more complete:


“You realize that Maria has been a Mangagamer employee for at least 3 years now, right? Probably not the most unbiased source of information on the subject, considering their livelihood is pretty much dependent on BBH doing well.

No, Alicesoft is not “testing the waters”. That’s not how these things work. Alicesoft has already been paid in full, aside from some standard royalties at best.

You’re getting BBH because Mangagamer doesn’t want to pour the time, effort, or money into Alicesoft’s better titles. Which is probably smart, because Alicesoft will not sell the rights for a popular series like Rance at a price that Mangagamer could pull profits on.

If this kind of game is your thing by all means go for it. It’s really important to support companies that produce games you enjoy. Just don’t buy into it thinking it’s going to get you better titles from Alicesoft.”


I apologice for the long mail but I hope my point came across.

Greetings,


The answer:
Thank you for contacting us. We would like to say that Beat Blades Haruka is definitely a title which stands on its own and is entirely worth a purchase on its own merits. We are also aware of how much fans of Alicesoft love Rance--believe us, we want to work on it too! We don't have any other news about this at this time, but we did want to let you know we do listen to what our fans have to say (and in fact, I think our staff has seen all these comments already even before you sent them, but thank you for communicating the community's thoughts all the same!) If we can assist you with anything else or answer any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.


Discuss. I have hope, not based on the mail but in my optimistic nature.

Yeah I'm running 8.1. Running it on compatibility for 8 or 7 doesnt work either though.
RedRumReply
I can't see the reply button on the other conversation so I'll reply here.

Apparently, BBH hates windows 8.1,

as darkmega926, suggested., I tried running it on a FRESH INSTALLATION of windows 10 and windows 7 + CCCP(32+64bit) via hyper-v and guess what, it fucking ran.

I'll try installing a fresh W8.1 and see if it works, but im not expecting much.

Anyway, I want to play this that i'll be forced to upgrade to windows 10.. T_T

Tried it on W8.1 (fresh installed). it also worked

The voice is inconsistent. It will play during H scenes, and most story scenes. It never plays for fluff repeat scenes, and it does skip a few scenes I thought should have been voiced.

ArkenfallReply
Mind sharing which one you replace it with?
anonReply
harukaSF.asd in savedata folder
ArkenfallReply
I try that but then when I start up the game, it resets itself as though I did not unlock anything at all. Completely clears all the cgs/scenes that I did have, as though I'd never touched it despite having saves after the prologue.

You're supposed to rename haruka_death.LZH to harukaSF.asd, correct? Or do you delete the original SF and then replace it?
anonReply
yes, rename the file in the zip to "harukaSF.asd" and replace the original one in the savedata folder.
ArkenfallReply
Okay, I understand now. FOR PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME 100% SAVE PROBLEM I WAS:

The LZD file is actually a zip file, use something like 7Zip in order to extract the -actual- SF save file, then change it to 'harukaSF' and stick it in the save folder as anon mentioned above.

I found the problem of the DLL ShellExecute.dll error.
It has to do with Norton, or whatever program your running.

My Norton isolated and erasted whatever execute that was needed a few times already. All I did was transfer all my saves, and re extract Beat Blades. But this time, I made sure not to let Norton mess with any files.

Done, simple as that.

To fix the opening movie error download the patch here http://blog.mangagamer.org/2016/03/01/beat-blades-haruka-now-on-sale/ and drag it to your game directory and it has no viruses even though your computer will say otherwise.

RyurinkouReply
I've had my fair share of fun with this game, the characters were great, the whole Shinobi fighting evil setting was fine. What I did hate was the daunting sex scenes (too long and music didn't help) as well as the rape to these cute characters. I mean fine, I get it, you can skip them which I did, but then you get a message "(Blank) got gangraped by a brunch of gennin" I Don't need to know That 😑.
Anyway after "mastering" this game, i decided to leave some tips for new players:
*If you can decide which girl you're going for early in the game, focus on increasing your Barrier, Stats and Sp pool, by training or doing Ryurinko as often as you can.
*Choose a subsidiary character and get moonlight skill as well as concealment technique IF you find the game rather easy. This way, castle raiding becomes a piece of cake. (Don't bother with the other 2).
* To avoid losing (and thus the rape scenes) hover your mouse cursor to the top just as you die and click Restart.
