Gameplay
Seven Pirates follows the story of several female characters (including the protagonist, Parute) as they go on an adventure in search of seven "treasures". The game's cast is exclusively female, and no male characters appear in the game. There are seven major characters, though in similar vein to previous Genkai Tokki titles, many monster girls also appear, rendered in 3D. Like previous Genkai Tokki titles, there is an emphasis on fanservice content, including the breasts of the characters. This includes a "Chest Growth" system, where the girls' chests grow or shrink when players "pinch, grab and poke" them using the Vita's touchscreen functionality. Larger breasts result in higher attack power and defense, while smaller busts reward higher speed. Players can freely move around the world map through riding on their pirate ship. By discovering the sea chart through dungeons and quests, the explorable area expands. Dungeons, characters and monsters are represented and interacted with in the form of a 3D role-playing video game. Places where the characters cannot move normally can be reached by riding on the character Otton.
Plot
A pirate girl named Parute is in the middle of a voyage to find treasure and arrives at the "Monsupi Sea", a phantom ocean where treasured is rumoured to be hidden. No humans live there, although various monster girls call the area home. On this unknown land, while surrounded by strange creatures, Parute decides to look for treasure, thus starting her adventure and the storyline of Genkai Tokki: Seven Pirates.
