In Date with Devils you play as a human that was kicked out of heaven, for some reason, and now you're the king of the devils. For some reason. There's some backstory of an angry ex girlfriend and terrible things happened. I genuinely don't know. It doesn't matter. In fact, nothing in this game actually matters, which I'll explain in a bit.
The gameplay is split into a few distinct segments. First, you have to judge whether souls go to heaven or hell. You get brief snippets of their life and decide where they should go. There's a whole bunch of resources that add and subtract based on what you choose and blah blah blah, but none of it really matters.
The second part of gameplay is a big park area where your sexy devil advisors are hanging out, and you can interact with them here. Things like just chatting with them, playing a - really stupidly simple - card game, or going on dates with them. After you interact with your devil girls a couple of times each day, you can then go to a bar and party with a group of equally sexy and busty angels. See, in this world the devils are all sweet and wholesome and the angels are the naughty and dirty ones. I like it. You see this twist in anime all the time and I dig it.
This is a dating game, but none of it really matters. It is extremely ridiculously easy to make the devil girls like you. Just insanely stupidly easy. Just go on dates and feed them a bunch of food and their heart meters fill to bursting. The angels are even easier because you just have to beat them in drinking contests a few times and then they're madly in love with you. You can romance everyone all at the same time, too, so go crazy.
The reason why you want to romance the devils is that they are more effective in helping you manage Hell when they're happy. You'll get more resources and things go more smoothly. There is also a weird minigame where you have to battle Heaven and later the Abyss, and if the devil girls love you they are much more powerful.
Romancing the angels and devils also unlocks some story scenes where they want to sneak into your bedroom and maybe have sexy time maybe. You can also unlock a different set of scenes if you make the girls hate you. And even if you make them hate you, it's so stupidly easy to make them love you again it doesn't matter.
That's the thing about this game - nothing matters. The dating aspect doesn't matter because it's too easy to raise and lower the girls' heart meters, and you can literally max out all of them in one playthrough so there isn't any drama or decisions or any friction in the relationships ever. Sending souls to heaven or hell doesn't matter at all. The whole concept of having to battle heaven or the abyss doesn't matter either, and whether you're peaceful or beating their brains in doesn't really change anything. The entire thing with having different resources doesn't matter after a while either because you level up and automatically get so much of everything it doesn't affect your decisions after the first like 15-minutes of playing.
Seriously, nothing you do in this game matters. It seems really complex and confusing at first because there are a lot of different systems all layered on top of each other, but nothing you do really makes any difference. It's really stupidly easy. Other than one achievement - for a girl who is hiding and I didn't know how to interact with for way too long ... - it's an easy 1000 gamerscore in about 6-hours.
Despite the utter pointlessness of most of what the gameplay offers, I have to say I still had a really good time overall. The girls are all super crazy hot, the game is a little sexy even if it's all innuendos and you don't ever see much, the music is catchy and great, and it's all just really enjoyable. It's $15 and I have zero regrets buying it at that price. It's fun and sexy and has easy achievements. Date with Devils is well worth a look, even if nothing you do matters all that much. It's low stress and high reward and I highly recommend it because of that.
