Genkai Tokki: Seven Pirates
is a role-playing video game for the PlayStation Vita developed by Felistella and published by Compile Heart. It is the fourth entry in the Genkai Tokki series, after Monster Monpiece, Moero Chronicle, and Moero Crystal. Unlike the previous games, it carries a pirate-based theme, and follows protagonist Parute Kairi as she searches for treasure on the Monsupi Sea. Like previous games, Genkai Tokki: Seven Pirates places emphasis on ecchi content. The game was released on August 4, 2016, in Japan only. A port for Nintendo Switch titled, Genkai Tokki: Seven Pirates H, was released on February 3, 2022, in Japan, and on May 12, 2022, globally under the name Seven Pirates H.

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 a 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 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 by 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.
