It wouldn't surprise me if most of these were mediocre at best.
I think it really depends on the case. If they get the original staff involved in some capacity, it can provide decent expansion to the anime that explores the characters a bit more and gives some neat "what if" scenarios. This game seems to have been produced by the same team that made the OreImo and Toradara tie-in games, and both were pretty well-regarded among fans for what they contributed to their respective franchises... but it depends on your expectations. If you think "fun companion piece to the anime", that's probably along the right lines. It's not going to work if you're not already a fan and know/like the characters.

Anime with even more fanservice involving a similar-aged casts gets released all the time in those markets without trouble. The main problem is just that there aren't enough people who would buy it.
