Unlockable Secrets
If a game features unlockable modes, extras, secrets character etc. such as the Mahou characters in Battle Garegga or Strong Style in DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu that are relevant to the basic system of a game, put these codes here. Otherwise, omit this section.
Characters / Ships / Styles
This section should include the characters or ships, if any, that the player can select in the game. Ideally, different "styles" (for games that use them, such as DoDonPachi) would also be included here.
If there is only one playable character and no elements to augment/customize your ship, this section can be omitted from the page.
Weapons
This section describes the weapons that you use in the game and elaborates on them further. Stuff like standard shots, focus shots, bombs, weapon pickups that differ in functionality, options, etc. This can be omitted if not relevant to the game in question.
Items
This section describes any and all collectibles that you acquire in the game. An example being any Power Up items or Medals from Battle Garegga. Include secret items such as extra lives as well.
Japanese Text translation
Prologue: Premium Hearts You collect an item called "Pleasure Hearts" the blue ship turns on you and says "... Get rid of them." (talking to the big dragon to kill you)
Stage 1: Dead of Alive you get a "crystal" after killing the boss
(the stuff at the bottom of the screen shows names of jewels and precious metals, along with their point value, when you collect items)
Stage 2 Yanak Daivos (? no idea on the correct spelling or what this means)
Stage 3: Devagamesh (? no idea here either) You pick up two people from the ground after a midboss - one is called Ortha(?)
Stage 4: Old Weapon
Stage 5: Kaibeldart (?) Boss entrance: "I'm sorry, but I can't let you go any further."
(boss attacks) Summon: Multi Sweeper Custom Magic APPETOPPE (? doesn't mean anything to me)
Boss defeated: "Even if I may perish...." (attack) Time Magic: ZAP-HALL ("hall" sounds the same as "hole" in Japanese. The attack looks like a black hole)
Stage 6: Arc Dragon Hearn: "Hmph, an uninvited guest."
- "Let me handle it. Take the Pleasure Hearts and go - hurry!"
Shia (player character): "Who ... are you ... ?"
- Maina Jakoin (no idea about spelling). Let's just say I'm that person's [the blue ship pilot]... <3."
Maina: "I will put a stop to your efforts. Give up - the jewel is ours"
Summon: Lord Arc
Maina: "Let's make this a fair fight - here, take this." (cat) Maina: "Well then, here I come!"
Stage 7: Winslot Maina: "Persistent, I'll say." Hearn: "..."
Magic: Barrier
(Maina is defeated) Hearn: "Maina!!" Maina: "Hearn, I ... " Hearn: "RAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!"
(Hearn is defeated) Hearn: "... Maina ..." Shia: "... N- ... Nooooooo!!"
(Collect Pleasure Hearts)
(Ending) And with that, everyone was dead. Everyone was dead and gone. ... They are all ... gone .... And I killed them with my own hands...
... What should I do now ... ?
Tears rolled down my face. I cried and cried...
... My face began to hurt, so I raised my head.
... Pleasure Hearts ... ... It's so beautiful ... ... But I have nobody to give it to anymore ...
Then, I realized something. ... Come to think of it ... ... Hearn was alive ...
... Looks like that woman called Maina really was his lover. Either way, Hearn never had any feelings for me at all
...? ... W-what ...? ... I feel more and more elated every second ...!
... It feels like all of my wishes can come true as long as I have this jewel.... .............
My hope soon succumbed to my own sadness...
... Heh, heh, heh ... Happiness shall belong to me, and me alone!
Rank
The game seems to have a very simple rank system but we need confirmation about this.
Scoring
Pleasure Hearts scoring is all about destroying enemies, boss parts and some buildings while picking up certain items
Story
Shia and Hearn defeat a dragon and obtain a magic jewel called Pleasure Hearts; but then Hearn attacks Shia and gets the jewel for himself. Shia loses all her power and tracks down Hearn to seek vengance and retrieve her bounty.
Trivia
- If you miss the first extend dropped by stage 4 midboss the screen goes black for a second and a giant "NO!!!" appears on the screen
