Dohna Dohna - Let's Do Bad Things Together

Dohna Dohna - Let's Do Bad Things Together is a 2020 H Game and Eastern RPG developed by AliceSoft, the developers of the Rance series.

The Asougi Corporation controls almost all the aspects of the life of the city of same name, and punishes people who commit the slightest fractions against their "Asougi Points" system with "Temp Work"(a mix of labour camp with reeducation camp). Thanks to being a provincial city, the Japanese government does not interfere in the internal city affairs. Against them, however, there is the Anti-Asougi clans: prostitution rings which use the money from prostitution to finance their fight against the corporation. Kuma, Porno, Zappa, Kira Kira, and Torataro, the game's heroes, are the members of the Nayuta Clan. The game begins with the group already formed and more or less in the middle of the war against Asougi, with the plot following the heroes' progressing struggle against the corporation, and against other Anti-Asougi clans.

In gameplay, Dohna Dohna is your typical JRPG played on a 2D view, with three kind of actions: MP skills, VP skills (which can only be used by filling a meter), and items. However, you don't get money from battles. Instead, you must get money through prostitution. Enter the game's most twisted mechanic: by defeating "talent" enemies with your last attack on a battle, you store them on a "garage" slot and can promote them to the "talent" slot. Then you have to play a reverse tower-defense game involve trying to get your talents to be taken by clients while competing with rival hustling agencies, all while trying to manage their stats and which talents you will keep for the next hustling phase, since they get cleared from the garage slot when you go into the field.

The catch? The "talent" monsters are actually Innocent Bystanders whom the heroes kidnapped while fighting the Asougi troops and took to locked rooms, forcing them to be prostitutes. By the appearances of some randoms, some of them are barely pubescent children ("barely" because all talents are able to get pregnant). There is a side quest involving unique talents, characters with their own personalities and unique designs, which involves unlocking storyline scenes with them fulfilling certain special conditions.

The game also contain a Persona-inspired "feeling" mechanic, which unlocks romantic erotic scenes between Kuma and the respective girls of the party, and some comedic moments with the guys. There are several ways of increasing the "feeling" stat which unlocks those events.

It was released on 29 October 2021 in English by Shiravune.


 * Always Identical Twins: Alyce and Yammy, though there is a twist that though they have the same shape, Yammy has completely different colors than Alyce.
 * Anti Hero: The Nayuta Clan and the other Anti-Asougi clans are on the deep end on this trope. They do not murder civilians but have no qualms at kidnapping Asougi City females which  had the bad luck of being on their way and basically rape them by proxy, including virgins, young teens. And unceremoniously kick them out if they become useless to them, or even if they don't. You can dump on a S+ talent, after all.
 * Artificial Limbs: Shinazu had his limbs replaced with cybernetics.
 * Badass Adorable: Joker is cute and young, and he also can hit enemies straight to hell with his bat.
 * Blatant Lies: When Kirakira question if Zappa wants to break into an Asobi facility out of petty revenge for a dinner-and-dashing incident of the day before, he audibly stutters, negates it's about it, and all he does is from a place of "righteous anger", and he wants to "fix society".
 * Bloodless Carnage: No enemy bleeds, but Kirakira takes it to absurd levels since she straight up is hitting people with a chainsaw.
 * Blood Knight:
 * Zappa jumps at any opportunity to fight Asougi, to the point Kuma has to rein him and remind him they cannot just go around beating them for no reason.
 * Shinazu loves a good fight too.
 * Lu Bu is obsessed with improving his own strength at the expense of everything else. He is estatic when the party begins beating him near the end of the story.
 * Boobs of Steel: Played for Laughs. Medico's only skill outside of healing at first involves her engaging in Confusion Fu and hitting her opponent with her fists frenetically. Porno also seems to engage in some sort of physical fighting but her damage is not even comparable.
 * Butt Monkey: Torataro. He is frequently teased by other members and has no luck with his love life either.
 * Buxom Is Better: Torataro says it's the only thing which can outmatch his preference for older women when talking about Medico.
 * Chained by Fashion: Zappa wears chain on his fists. It is supposed to show how strong he is but comes off mostly as Rule of Cool.
 * Chainsaw Good: Kira Kira uses a chainsaw in battle.
 * Cold Sniper: Yammy fits that stereotype, talking on a cold calculated tone, and Alyce averts it.
 * Cruel to Be Kind: Shinazu beats up Kikuchiyo before leaving her for their rival gang. However, it's clear he does so with her interests in mind, as he can see that she is in love with Kuma and that this had caused her to be distracted to the point where he can easily defeat her with a surprise attack, and he only does so after he meets with Kuma to make sure he would be good to her.
 * Damsel in Distress: Each of the heroine except Porno is captured at various points in the story and needs to be rescued. If the player does not do so at the earliest opportunity, it results in said heroine being raped.
 * Defeat Means Friendship: Yammy makes peace with the Nayuta clan once they defeat her and offers Alyce to them since they had both become disposable for their creators.
 * Defector From Decadence:.
 * Depraved Bisexual: Shion's Establishing Character Moment is stabbing Torataro in a pointless, childish gang fight out of sheer cruelty. Her second prominent scene is having lesbian sex with a schoolgirl. A bit later, you discover she sexually desires men as well.
 * Dude, Where's My Respect?: Torataro thinks he doesn't get enough respect from everybody, specially since him and Zappa founded the Nayuta clan.
 * Dumb Muscle: Zappa is pretty strong, but has the temper and capacity of thought of a child, never thinking things through.
 * Enemy Civil War:
 * From Asougi's point-of-view, that is how the fights between Anti-Asougi clans mean. A citizen is even punished for calling the police over a gang fight, an Asougi trooper saying he doesn't care.
 * Murasaki tries to orchestrate one between Nayuta and Shinonomeha clans in the museum, but Lu Bu intervenes before things get serious.
 * Enemy Mine:
 * Shinazu tried to make an alliance with the Flattt clan, but Murasaki refuses.
 * Kikuchiyo does help Kuma after he saves her from the Flattt's sniper at the Shinonome Warf, to the point she becomes an temporary part member.
 * Establishing Character Moment: Shion's first prominent scene involves her stabbing Torataro after her own minions started a fight, for no good reason. In other words, she is a murderous psycho.
 * Even Evil Has Standards:
 * The only qualm Kuma have about hustling girls is if they're from Asougi City or not. It saves Medico of becoming a plaything but, as her first Ero Event reveals, gave her a guilt complex.
 * Flattt has its share of rapists and psychos. Even then, Murasaki refuses to aid Tsuina fully knowing she has worthwhile intel for him after seeing her gun down a loyal retainer.
 * Everyone Can See It: Pretty much everyone can see that Kikuchiyo is head over heels for Kuma, except possibly the man himself.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry
 * Mistress only wears leg wear in her left leg.
 * Similarly, Kirakira only wears thigh-high stocking in her left inferior limb.
 * A Father To His Men: Shinazu takes a bullet for a random Shinonome goon without hesitation.
 * Five-Man Band: The four initial members plus Medico:
 * The Hero: Kuma, the protagonist, and defacto leader.
 * The Lancer: Kirakira, the Genki Girl whose attitude contrasts with the stoic and cynical Kuma.
 * The Smart Guy: Random impulsive behavior aside, Torataro is much smarter than Zappa and has the engineering skills to back up this fact.
 * The Big Guy: The official leader, a hot-headed giant which attacks with punches and wrestling techniques.
 * The Chick: Porno, the group's Morality Pet which is everyone's little sister. She also has the smallest base HP, so is for the best not putting here on vanguard.
 * The Sixth Ranger: Medico, a outsider to Asoubi which only joins after the hospital dungeon and knows nothing about how the city works, much less how much anti-heroic her new friends are.
 * Friend to All Children: Zappa is quick to get on the good side of children like Antenna and Porno.
 * Gainax Bounce: Medico's breasts, all the time, during battle. Her very skimpy outfit justifies this.
 * Gameplay and Story Integration:
 * The rival hustling agencies are the same Anti-Aso clans which rival Nayuta in the story.
 * Torataro is one of your possible clients, using the nickname "Major D". And he can choose the prostitutes of rival clans. Just in case the player may not think it's him, his description says "IT'S MARKET RESEARCH!". As it turns out, he is also using the services of rival clans in the story. Depending of your luck, you may see him before or later this is revealed in-story.
 * Gameplay and Story Segregation: No matter how quick and easily you defeated the Flattt Clan in the all-girls school, the scene afterwards shows the fight went evenly matched. Also, even if you over-killed Shion, her clothes are shown as intact.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: Zappa goes into battle only with his fists.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: Zappa is prone to attack people over the slightest grievances. Kirakira comments "it's all he ever does", so forming the Nayuta clan is only an unintentionally good thing he did because Asoubi slightly inconvenienced him.
 * Hoist By His Own Petard: In Zappa's third event, he decides to pick the last pizza slice as part of a game of Russian Roulette involving pizza tempered with extremely spicy pepper. The others quickly use that fact against him as they read his facial expressions, and he is forced to pick the absolute worst option, the only one which remained.
 * Hollywood Hacking: Averted. Antenna's impersonation method using radio waves is very realistic.
 * Honor Before Reason: When Tsuina issues Kikuchiyo a challenge for a duel, Kikuchiyo shows up alone, knowing it's a trap, and is predictably forced to face the entire group alone, which leads to her needing to be rescued.
 * Hospital Hottie: Medico's combat outfit is meant to invoke that trope, but as she points out she is not a nurse, making it an aversion.
 * Hypocrite: Tsuina has the audacity to call on tradition and bloodline when Shinazu finally had enough of her bullshit and turn on her after she repeatedly flaunts their traditions for her own spiteful goal.
 * Joke Item: The Nayuta Cracker, a explosive which does hilariously low damage (only 10 health points). It's useful in certain situations, because it costs no MP and if used to finish off a talent it will award "technician points" (it will do damage equal to their total HP).
 * Jumped At the Call: Antenna is eager to join Nayuta the moment she is asked to by Kira Kira and Kuma, despite having no stakes on the fight aside of personal freedom.
 * Karma Houdini:.
 * Le Parkour: Zappa's second event involves him practicing this, saying it's a form of opposition to Asougi.
 * Limit Break: The voltage attacks, which can only be executed after a character-specific gauge is filled. That gauge can be filled by items, enemy attacks, or simply Zappa cheering his teammates up(it's one of his skills).
 * Love At First Sight: Shion is almost instantaneously infatuated with Joker, asking for contact information and a date.
 * Mafia Princess: Mibu Kikuchiyo is the heir of the Yakuza Anti-Aso Shinonomeha clan.
 * Man Child:
 * Zappa does not go to high school like Kuma and Kirakira and looks older than them, yet he is a very obsessed fan of a Magical Girl show and gets angry when its broadcast is suspended for one week so the channel can air a golf championship in its time slot.
 * Alyce looks like a late teenager or young adult, but it is less developed mentally than Porno, Antenna, and Joker, to the point as her first Ero Event shows Medico have to give her a bath. However, she is still a deadly sniper.
 * Meaningful Name: Joker is nicknamed by Kuma after the way the game of Old Maid is played: who holds that card at the end is forced to keep it. So the Nayuta Clan is forced to keep him.
 * Naughty Nurse Outfit: Medico's nurse-like outfit, crafted by Porno and Kirakira, whose cleavage stops just short of exposing her nipples.
 * Nipple-and-Dimed: Despite the fact the game is already full of hentai content, the on-field sprites of female party members still stop just short of showing nipples.
 * Obviously Evil: Murasaki all-white face, pointy nose and black lips makes a very evil-like combination. At first he seems to subvert this by trying to make peace with the Nayuta Clan and trying to help them, but turns out he was trying to goad them in conflict a third hustling faction, the Shinonomeha clan.
 * Only Known By Their Nickname: All Nayuta clan members, even between themselves. Medico is not even once referred by name before gaining that nickname, and Kirakira only goes through half of Kuma's name before he tells her to shut up, though you can still hear and read her say "Mito...".
 * Pragmatic Villainy: Tsuina cites this reason when she chooses to arm them with firearms and tries to ally with Asougi, blatantly going against their traditions and goal. Kikuchiyo points out that if this was truly the case, she could have easily accomplished this by remaining outside the city, as she already gathered the contacts necessary to be successful, and her real goal is to get revenge against the Shinonome Group.
 * Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves:.
 * Running Gag: Zappa trying to make everything about fighting the corporation. He begins by not paying a restaurant bill and it only gets more ridiculous from there.
 * Russian Roulette: Zappa's third event involves a game of Russian Roulette involving pizza slices. Porno quickly figures it out how to win, or at least dodge the worst slice filled with pepper from pepper spray, because Zappa is the worst poker player ever and visibly reacts badly if someone picks a safe slice.
 * Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes: The Anti-Asougi clans fit nicely into Type III, with their kidnapping of innocent women for prostitution, all in the name of getting money to fight the corporation.
 * Small Name, Big Ego: Kirakira invokes this trope by saying Torataro has "delusions of grandeur".
 * Sore Loser: In Torataro's second event, he presses the reset button on a video game console after losing to Kuma on a fighting game.
 * Stating the Simple Solution: Medico brings up about the corporation's dominion is just over one city, and people could simply leave if they wanted. Torataro brings up they would lose everything they own since Asoubi own their assets and even if they didn't, the corporation's propaganda machine keeps them docile and unwilling to move.
 * Straight Gay: Zappa. He casually reveals he's only interested in guys, much to everyone's surprise, and otherwise displays no stereotypically gay traits or sexual interests whatsoever. Kira Kira does say in a Medico event he is untrustworthy though.
 * Stripperific: Every female party member of the Nayuta clan. Porno says it's to cover their true identity, since all mooks would look is at their assets and not their faces, when giving Medico her battle outfit and the latter questions its design.
 * Tsundere: Kikuchiyo, in spades.
 * Underboobs: Kira Kira's battle outfit features these.
 * The Unfettered: The Anti-Asougi clans will defeat the Asougi corporation, no matter how many girls will be raped to give them money.
 * Ungrateful Bitch:.
 * Unwitting Pawn:.
 * Video Game Caring Potential: Prostituting girls does not mean you should not care about their mental health and looks. Especially when those are stats which affects how much money they will give to you. Some clients even help by giving the girls' traits that can benefit them, you play a part by offering the girls to them.
 * Video Game Cruelty Potential:
 * Aside of what was already described, the hustling mechanic outright tells you what clients will do of negative to your girls, with traits like "crutches" and "blind".
 * The heroines are put in danger at various points in the story. If you deliberately choose to delay rescuing them, they will be gang raped by their captors.
 * X Meets Y: Persona 5 meets Rance.
