Otokonoko media tends to be pretty sexualised (and that’s certainly the case with Otoko Cross), and also tends to be pretty popular, because the artists that work on this kind of media have a talent for drawing the boys really pretty. I’d be lying if I said I was the target audience for this kind of material. It obviously doesn’t make me uncomfortable, since here I am playing it, reviewing it, and to spoil the score down the bottom, I liked it a lot, but on a personal level I’m pretty blandly straight when it comes to my preferences. Even the twintails character in the roster here, despite being very pretty, doesn’t quite work for me like an equivalent featuring Marie Rose from Dead or Alive would. But! I can certainly appreciate the art, which really is stunning, and I like that it’s different – at least as far as my exposure to this stuff goes. The Pretty Girls games are fine, but the girls are commonly big-boobed, default fan service fare. There are far fewer games that feature this kind of fan service, let alone explicit nudity, and as far as my art tastes go, I do like things that are different. The developers have also done a bit to give these five characters personality and backstory.

Match tiles and beat the clock to clear each round.

It’s not much – one or two paragraphs at most – but it’s a context that a lot of other fan service-pure games ignore. The fact that it’s there at all means that I suddenly remember the names – hi, Morgan, yes I do remember you – and in theory, the developers can now build on these characters in future games and turn them into something more than a fleshy reward that hangs out on the side of the screen. Otoko Cross is limited in what it does, but you can tell that the team really cared about this project and wanted to make it more than a genderswap crossdressing Pretty Girls game. They wanted to give this, and the characters, an identity of their own. The gameplay is nicely refined, but exactly what you would expect from Mahjong Solitaire. You match tiles, and they disappear. By default you’ve got a time limit, and if you can match tiles quickly enough a combo will go up so you’ll have a good score for the leaderboard at the end. This high-score system is a little undermined by the tiles being randomised and therefore the flow won’t work quite as well as it should for the big combos (or the level will be randomised in a way that you’ll eventually discover that it was impossible from the outset).

Games with high scores do better when everyone is playing on the same playfield. Nonetheless, chasing those high scores and hoping for a bit of luck with the layouts is still a reason to keep playing. “Fan-Service” is a near-ubiquitous term in gaming, normally referring to the incorporation of eroticism. But the expression is disproportionally applied to the female body, whether it’s the animation of bouncing breasts or costumes that reveal the curvaceous of characters. Sure, there are exceptions with otome habitually exposing the toned pectoral muscles or washboard abs of its potential husbandos. But mention fan-service to most players and they probably envision something like the Senren Kagura series. Following in the footsteps of the Nippon Ichi Software-published Bokuhime PROJECT, the PC release of Otoko Cross: Pretty Boys Mahjong Solitaire shifts its focus to cross-dressing males.

But getting to a state of full undress will task you will a journey through sixty stages first. If you grew up playing Brodie Lockard’s Shanghai or the multitude of clones that filled computer and console screens during the eighties and nineties, you might be familiar with solitaire mahjong, which is quite different from the more traditional, four-player pastime. Here, a solitary player removes two match tiles at a time from a stacked arrangement. Tiles can only be moved if they are ‘open’ or moved to the left or right without disturbing neighboring tiles. Play continues until wither all tiles are removed or the board is locked with no legal moves. Success often hinges on the prudent removal of tiles. Like chess, you’ll need to think several moves ahead. In the early era of solitaire mahjong, low resolutions made this difficult with some buried tiles divulging little more than a few corpulent pixels. But there, that issue has been alleviated, and there’s much less ambiguity with Otoko Cross’ two- or three-dimensional titles. Don’t expect a massive difference between the two visual styles, with the latter looking a bit more photorealistic.

That means there’s an easy mode, which provides a simplified tile layout as well as assists. From being able to shuffle titles or have the CPU highlight a pair of corresponding titles, it’s a more forgiving way to make your way to the ‘cock unlock’.

Skillfully, each character’s fondness for feminine attire is treated respectfully, and the game positions crossdressing and androgyny as being normal. Even if you aren’t into guys dressing as girls, it’s difficult to not admire Otoko Cross’ inclination to challenge gender norms. Largely, the cast is a good-looking group that boasts a bit of variety. So, whether you prefer Jules, the auburn-haired maid-boy, Quincy’s mid-western influenced androgyny, or Dr. Morgan’s fondness for nurse attire, each is masterfully rendered in native 1080p fidelity. Sure, there’s one basic body type, but Morgan’s incongruent ‘idiot curl’ or Quincy’s adorable yaeba are undeniably endearing. While there’s a Dressing Room mode to admire the five different costumes for each character, you aren’t able to pose multiple characters. Saucy reveal mechanics aren’t just for pretty girls anymore. Now the boys are joining the action with the debut of Otoko Cross: Pretty Boys Mahjong Solitaire, a tile-matching game where cute male characters will challenge you to increasingly difficult puzzle layouts and dress up in feminine attire to reward you with every three stages you clear.

There’s just one issue with this. If you do run out of possible matches, you get the “No More Match” screen – the equivalent of a “Game Over” – from which the only option is to start again. However, that would often happen to me when I had shuffles left, so why not let me use one of those and continue to play? It’s a small gripe, but in an otherwise well-considered package, it stands out. Other than that there’s not much more to Otoko Cross. It’s Mahjong Solitaire, and we all know (and love) how that plays. As vanilla as it is, it is a timeless classic formula, and much like Tetris, it was actually one of my first games on the Game Boy so I have forever had a fondness for it. Otoko Cross adds the outrageously pretty boys, some gorgeously-rendered Mahjong pieces, and some lively backgrounds, with the only downside there being that a tiny few of the backgrounds can actually distract me from the pieces. It’s only a few, but they are perhaps a little too detailed and visually dense for a game that is asking me to focus on the pieces. Otoko Cross is horny, lewd, and excellent. Whether it works as a turn-on or not depends on your taste for incredibly pretty boys, but even if that’s not your thing, it is easy to appreciate the effort that went into the art, and the clean, vanilla nature of the arcade puzzle action.  Batora: Lost Haven
