Trapper Knight, Sharpshooter Princess by Desunoya

A turn-based strategy RPG in a fantasy setting, with a cast of characters who have unique specialties and gimmicks.

Gritz, a young man doing odd jobs in rural Country Ceremo, one day decides to help a girl who gets in trouble with some scoundrels, Leah.
Leah's archery skills prove a good match for Gritz's hunting traps, so she accompanies him on his work.
But soon, it becomes clear that the unusually fancily-dressed Leah has a goal in mind.

The basic gameplay is a typical SRPG like Fire Emblem: your team battles an enemy team, and on your turn, you move units and have them act.
You gain more characters during the story. Most characters have unique qualities and actions, such as Gritz's traps and Leah's long-range bows.

Between chapters, if two characters have spent enough time together in battle, you can choose to level up the bond between them.
Leveling up a bond shows a cutscene with the pair, can sometimes give you new items, and will boost stats whenever those two are together.
There are also two difficulties: Normal, a standard difficulty, and Hard, which changes up the maps to be much more challenging.

Cherry Tree High Girls' Fight! by 773

The third entry in the Cherry Tree High series started by Cherry Tree High Comedy Club, but with a new kind of gameplay.
You play as a newcomer teacher tasked with training a team of three to fight in a school-wide fighting tournament, the Girls' Fight.

Assemble your team from a total of 15 characters, then manage their training regimens to both increase stats and teach new moves.
It'll also benefit you to look around for topics to make small talk with your team; the more you talk, the greater the gains they'll get from training!

Battles are turn-based, and require you to, using cards, pick moves that will have advantage over the moves your opponent picks.
One playthrough won't take too long, but you're encouraged to play again - with a whole new team, or on a higher difficulty - and try for high scores!

Hero & Daughter+ by tachi

Based on the free version, but with additional updates.

The veteran hero of RPG Maker VX Ace, Ralph, is knocked down to a permanent Level 1 thanks to his own hubris.
Taking on the dark lord seems hopeless until he meets the Haremancer - er, Summoner - who can summon allies for him.
Thus begins a multi-part adventure with a team of girls based out of a pub, none of which are Ralph's daughters... well, maybe.

In addition to the main plot and dungeons, the game is full of plenty of side content and challenges to test the limits of being Level 1.
(Note that there is no outright nudity in the game, but it does contain risque art of girls which you may not want people walking by to see.)

LiEat Trilogy by Miwashiba (Nintendo Switch)

A collected version of the free trilogy, with some translation updates and (on Steam) achievements.
Primarily, it's a way of supporting Miwashiba.

A story-based adventure about the con artist "Leo" and his unexpected "child," the dragon girl Efina.
With Efina's ability to make lies tangible and feed on them, the two travel to various towns and unravel mysteries, learning about each other along the way.

Reverse x Reverse by Desunoya

A tricky platformer about guiding two characters around a program world full of gravity-switching.

DBG-Code and ALG-Rithm are programs whose job is to debug a video game, but one day, they detect some strange bugs.
Going deeper into the program, they find harmful Bug Fields which must be repaired by collecting data, so they journey deep into the code to fix things.

Code and Rithm have separate unique abilities - an air dash and a double jump - and often opposing gravity.
You can move them independently or in sync, and will encounter objects which reverse gravity, reverse their positions, scroll the screen, and more.
Collect the discs in each stage to open up the goal, allowing access to the next stage. Good luck making it as far as you can!

Tobari and the Night of the Curious Moon by Desunoya

A platformer with a Kirby-like mechanic where you can collect a variety of magic spells to use, from enemies or otherwise.

Tobari is a high-schooler dedicated to keeping order, so she finds it very odd when sunset comes early in the morning, and her friend Hina goes missing.
She decides to set out in search of Hina, traveling far from school and uncovering the truth behind this strange phenomenon.

You clear stages just by reaching the goal gate, but there are hidden moons in each stage which often call for clever use of the right spells.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again (and again (and again))!
