Why hasn't there been an isekai video game?

> Who is in his harem?

Everyone but Peach.

Currently,

Isekai genre itself isn't as significant for game like it is for Novel/Comic/Anime. It's like how time travel and real-life based game isn't as popular in game insdustry.

And Harem can be achieved by Otome game/Dating Simulation. Functional harem can only be used In action games, harem is basically subordinate AI/CPU player, which is dumb as fuck. The other choices is Online players, which is equally as hard as achieveing real-life Playboy harem.

As good as game story could be, if the gameplay is bad, it will be forgotten quite easily. And building good gameplay is harder and more complicated than hiring good writer for the story.

With all the usual tropes like being overpowered and having a harem.

Legends Arceus

A game with no challenge wouldn’t actually be that fun

 

[KrakenRiderEmma]

video games are like 50% isekai to begin with

Secret of Evermore. It's like four isekai in one.

Probably all of those mushroom people. Any plant that he sucks into his mouth to throw fire. There is an argument to be made for Yoshi of course.

And you say you don't represent lust...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Ni No Kuni yet.

Hyperdimension Neptunia 1 starts with Neptune falling from the sky with amnesia.
Hyperdimension Neptunia V mainly in an alt dimension.
Star Ocean 2 starts with Claude getting mysteriously teleported to another world as well.
Myst (1993) starts with your character reading a book and getting transported once they reach the end.
FF14 had the original world destroyed and all the players transported to another world.
Core Keeper has your character get transported right from the start to another world/underground area.

The harem part is the trick I suppose. Technically you could get a harem in FF14, but that requires you to rizz other players to make it.

It would be mundane to do so.

The idea or concept of being sent to another world is usually forgotten for exploring the new environment, especially in anime or LitRPGs. Why make an "isekai" game when you can make a "fantasy" or "action" title and save some money hiring writers and script directors for the first 10min plot of the game? The isekai trope only works in LNs and anime, where the consumers come for the character development, and the worldbuilding can be mediocre or somewhat creative at the expense of being generic, while video games focus on immersion and environmental interaction.

It's not really Isekai but you can make a harem of customizable characters in Dragon's Dogma.
They fight with you but I don't think you can kiss them or anything.
You can throw them off a cliff though

literally the latest digimon game is an isekai, but i guess u mean an isekai like the novels

There ni no kuni,

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Ni No Kuni yet.

Someone did.

And you say you don't represent lust...

That's correct!

 

[TheMonotonePuppet]

That's correct!

The Stars say you should never say ugly lies, only pretty lies! This is a lie with a very unfavorable aesthetic.

 

[TotallyHuman]

That's correct!

Endeed, the concept of lust has no need to be legally represented in front of the Judgement of the Heavenly Host before all sapient beings capable of experiencing it are dead.​
