The newest doujin game to come out from Japan. And best of all, IT'S FREE.

And before anyone asks, you need to set your computer's regional settings to Japanese. Otherwise, the window will not open properly. And no, AppLocale will not work.
BTW, just so you know, this game has even more fanservice than Arcana Heart (if that's even possible). Pantyshots (if they're even wearing panties), jiggling boobs, and bare skin everywhere. There's even a nipple shot in one frame. Unlikely that anyone would catch it, but I'm going to have to list this game as NSFW.
But still, GO PLAY IT.

It's possible to play it through AppLocale without having to change the system locale to Japanese. This workaround, from Canned Dogs, worked for me:
--- Quote ---For working with AppLocale(without regional settings change) you needs:
1. Path to game must contain only Latin chars.
2. Rename folder ヴァンガードプリンセス to anything else (?vanpri? for example)
3. Rename ヴァンガードプリンセス.exe to vanpri.exe
4. Rename ヴァンガードプリンセス.kgt to vanpri.kgt
5. Use AppLocale, now it works

X. Profit

Stuffman:
Awesome, that AppLocale trick worked. Now I can play it without putting my computer in moon mode :V
I first got ahold of this a couple days ago. Lilith is my favorite, one of the most entertaining grapplers I've ever used. She's like a loli Clark.
The sprite quality in this game is completely amazing given this whole game was made by one guy. However, the backgrounds really need to be washed out a bit because when shit gets busy in this game you can't tell what the hell is going on, especially not with four characters onscreen.
KomeijiKoishi:
Ya know that's weird?
The sword of the first character reminds me at Cirno's watermelon sword.
