Lloyd the Monkey 3: Judgement Day

Editorial Review

★3.8 / 5 — henhenta editorial rating (our own assessment, not the DLsite official user score)

Lloyd the Monkey 3: Judgement Day sits in the 2D action corner of the doujin catalog, a space that has grown crowded with retro-flavored side-scrollers and where a series with real continuity is uncommon. The tags (Action, Music, Application) mark it as a standalone playable program rather than a text-driven visual novel, and nothing in the listing points to explicit content, so it is best approached as a straight action release.

What stands out is the ambition of the framing. This is the closing chapter of a trilogy, with the two protagonists, Lloyd and Lura, reunited after two years apart to face the villain Scholz and his Nemesis Project. That kind of serialized, sci-fi stakes storytelling is rarely promised in a genre where plot often serves only as scaffolding. The structure is clear: twelve stages, two controllable leads, and collectible items to power both characters up, which suggests a steady progression arc rather than a single-note run. The Music tag hints that the soundtrack is a meaningful part of the package, and full Japanese and English support removes the language barrier that often keeps international players away from doujin action games. The synopsis claims an epic story “greater than any other 2D action game,” which is bold marketing I wouldn’t take at face value, and it says little about how the two characters differ in play.

It suits players who value series payoff and old-school stage-based action, especially those who already followed Lloyd and Lura’s earlier adventures and want a proper finale.

Verdict: a confident, bilingual send-off for a doujin action series, worth playing for the finale if you’re invested in the cast.
