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 when you go into the field.

The catch? The "talent" monsters are actually Innocent Bystanders which 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.

Tropes used in Dohna Dohna - Let's Do Bad Things Together include:
  • 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.
  • Bloodless Carnage: No enemy bleeds, but Kirakira takes it o 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 remember him they can not just go around beating them for no reason.
  • 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.
  • Buxom Is Better: Toratarou 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.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: Toratarou thinks he doesn't get enough respect from everybody, specially since him and Zappa founded the Nayuta clan.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry
    • Mistress only wears leg wear in her left leg.
    • Similarly, Kirakira only wears thigh-high stocking in her left inferior limb.
  • 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.
    • Toratarou is one of your possible clients, using a nickname. 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.
  • Good Old Fisticuffs: Zappa goes into battle only with his fists.
  • 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.
  • 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's total HP).
  • 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).
  • Mafia Princess: Mibu Kikuchiyo is the heir of an Yakuza Anti-Aso Shinonomeha clan.
  • Manchild: 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 the same time slot.
  • 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...".
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Sore Loser: In Toratarou's second event, he presses the reset button on a video game console after losing to Kuma on a fighting game.
  • 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, when giving Medico her battle outfit.
  • 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.
  • Video Game Caring Potential: Prostituting girls does not mean you should not care about their mental health and looks. Specially 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".
  • X Meets Y: Persona 5 meets Rance.
