We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Dating-sim players who want relationship choices alongside combat

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking extended combat may find the alien encounters too limited because battles are presented as mini-events
- Players wanting a single long storyline may bounce off the seven-ending structure and relationship-based route progression
- Players who require Indonesian or Japanese subtitles may need to wait for the planned update
Our take on Just Deserts
Players looking for a deep combat system may bounce off when the alien attacks resolve through brief battles rather than a larger action framework. Those seeking a single definitive route may also hit a wall at the relationship-status system, which determines the ending.
What is Just Deserts?
Play as a soldier defending a city during an alien attack while pursuing relationships with five heroines, each with distinct interests and personalities.
The game combines relationship management with desert and city travel, solo or partnered activities, and short battles against aliens. Energy, health, money, day-and-night progression, and affection levels affect the experience. Hundreds of objects can serve as gifts, food, or battle support. Seven possible endings are tied to relationship status, with about seven hours needed to reach one ending. The game includes English voice performances for the heroines and English subtitles. Indonesian and Japanese subtitles are planned for a future update.
