Guide Dang It!: Often times, the requirements for each game's Golden Ending is incredibly obtuse and/or Permanently Missable.

Fanservice: It might be more difficult to name a Compile Heart game that doesn't have at least one sexy scene.

Examples include Trillion: God of Destruction (a war-of-attrition-based Boss Game where you get to know the female characters before sending them to their likely graves), Mary Skelter (a creepy Fractured Fairy Tale-based dungeon crawler that gets increasingly bleak with each entry), and Death end re Quest (extremely violent RPGs focused on The Many Deaths of You).

Darker and Edgier: While Compile Heart has never shied away from dark moments (the 'Conquest' ending of Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 being an infamous example), the latter 2010s brought a number of dark games from them.Every game slated to be localized at that point except the first Death end re Quest saw a handful of images changed additionally, Death end re Quest 2 and Mary Skelter Finale saw changes to some character designs even in Japan.

After that policy was established, Compile Heart games were not altered for fanservice reasons - until 2018, when Sony decided to take a more active role in regulating content on their platform. After Monster Monpiece saw numerous cards censored, Idea Factory's international branch went on record to say that they would never again localize a game that requires censorship. Bowdlerize: Since many Compile Heart games involve copious amounts of Fanservice, some of their earlier work such as the Mugen Souls duology saw content cut out of fear that the games would be slapped with an age rating that would make it nearly-impossible to sell in international markets.
