The creator of PD, Kogado Studio is an old PC gsme dev that doesn't make porn. Unlike Falcom, they DO chose to add pandering to their games.

The PD series (at least until the apparently terrible PD6) are special forces tactical games, with Self-Defense Force officers as military advisors. The first 3 games are turn-based, and the later entries are semi-real-time.

They emphasize pre-battle preparation, battlefield recon and proper extraction (squad members can be left behind if they failed to arrive at LZ in time) rather than elimination of enemies - in fact, the player will always be greatly outgunned. The HotU review of PD1 says it's shallower than MechCommander, but that's comparing apples to oranges.

(That's why I made the X-Com connection... although X-Com is all about elimination.)

Now that you mentioned porn games, I've heard of one such game that's supposed to have actually interesting tactical game design - Aselia the Eternal. The English version is non-porn.
