Unity - Archipelagates [v0.8 Hotfix] [RalivDev]

v0.6
God, what a gold nugget! I've spent probably 12+ hours playing this before burning out (without a single crash too). It runs great, but has a ways to go in term of content. This has great potential!

THE BIG SEX
Sexual fluids are currently missing, but animations and facial expressions during sex are really good! Fun (and usually quick) to allure NPCs into the good stuff. Earning EXP from sexing is always a good decision for H-games. Finding new positions to use from altars/obelisks(?) around the wild islands you visit is cool and makes you wanna explore more and find them all. There aren't too many as of writing this, but they're all good! Would love to see a lot more in future builds to make sexing the NPCs less repetitive in the future.

GAMEPLAY IS FUN
The foundation is there, it's works well and it's already looking to become a great 3D platformer H-game RPG! I love that you can find merchant huts(?) selling equipment matching the level of the island you find them on.
Also love the enchantments for equipment! Really fun to able to destroy equipment to harvest their enchantments in enchantment tables(?) found randomly around wild islands in order to put them on any stronger items you have found or (usually) bought, though there's not really any point to this as of writing this. So I'd love to see these systems expanded, and for random boss fights on some higher level islands to be implemented in the future to justify all of this.
Gameplay is fun already! Especially when you get a sense for movement tech (which can be a tiny bit slippery, but very good) and how to fight effectively without taking hits. Though the ranged enemies are fucking Spec Ops advanced snipers and leading their shots perfectly sometimes, it honestly adds to the humor and goofiness of the game as it just makes you ragdoll (unless you're low-health or close to the edge of the island, but you don't lose any progress or items from dying or falling off islands so it's all good).

There's lots of fun to be had already, and I can't wait for future updates.

Got ate out by a lizard man, propositioned an elf woman to do the same, knocked an elf out for rejecting me, then killed her with her own sword and threw ass over her corpse in celebration. Best game of the century.

Great furry content. The game handles pretty well and if you dash>jump>dash you can move around pretty quickly. Platforming is a little slippery but not frustrating.

Love the character customization. Cant wait for more content here.

good game, I really like about the story. it very well written. I love your game

please update more often, this game is so cool. I will subscribe your Patreon

Need more MILF, and some render fixed but it's fine. Thank you

For an alpha, the models and animations are very nice, especially small details like the ears and facial animations. The rougelike gameplay is fun for a time.
The developer seems competent. I didn't encounter a single bug while playing for a couple of hours.

The framework for a good game is there, it just needs some more time in the oven, and more content. It would be killer if mod support is ever added. For now though, I can't say that it's worth $15 , but I can see it one day worth that price if it gets completed.

I want to rate it higher, but I just can't.

As it is currently in v0.5, it feels like a project that someone made while messing around in Unity. There is very little guidance on what to do except for a purple beam guiding you to the portal area and dialogue in the town, which the dialogue serves no purpose except for a sex scene and some worldbuilding that goes nowhere. The combat exists but feels like a strange hybrid of action and turn-based with how every hit causes ragdolling. And the controls feel weird and unfinished.
Not to mention, the sex just seems like it's tact on with the way it's currently implemented. Aside from scripted scenes, like the one in town, starting a sex scene requires figuring out what your partner likes and then offering/requesting sex. This isn't a bad idea but the way it's implemented just feels like it's pulling you out of the gameplay loop (what little there is of one). It gets even tougher when there's another NPC there doing the same thing, as it can take even longer.

I will give the game one good thing though: the animations. Most of them at least, some such as Willow's shocked animation causes the model to bend weird. They feel bouncy and unique, with the sex animations being pretty good.


I sadly don't see this going very far. Either that, or it ending up like TiTS and milking money for years. The game already costs $15 bucks for what feels like an internal early build with an overly fancy coat of paint on it. Potential does not mean anything if the developer can't fulfill said potential or doesn't want to.

From the perspective of a vertical slice, Archipelagates appears to have a promising start. The animations, albeit goofy, are full of life, and what h-content is currently available is done well enough. Everything else about the project is extremely barebones. Graphical options are slim, and the controls cannot be changed at all. There is combat, simple as it may be, and the foundation of the main gameplay loop is solid enough. Only time will tell if these aspects ever get fully fleshed out.

I can’t recommend it at the current price tag of $15, but if you can get your hands on a copy by other, dubiously legal means, then it’s worth a decent wank or two. Otherwise, it definitely needs another year or two to bake.

Cant wait to see more from this game. It's really great considering the early state that it's in.
Combat is decent, platforming is pretty fun and incentivized by the progression orbs, and the NPC interactions are fantastic. I love the 'allure' and 'offer' options and the fact that NPCs can do it back to you and other npcs.

I can absolutely appreciate a game that's just starting out, but I try not to rate based on "potential" (which this game has a ton of, admittedly.) Based solely on the reviews, you might even download this game with some expectations like I did, "Wow, almost full 5-star reviews? This game must be worth putting some time into."

...Unfortunately, the game is very much a skeleton at the moment. The customization is decent, but lacks much detail outside of fur/skin patterns and colorization.

In fact, making too many body adjustments can result in some animations playing incorrectly. Main example of this is the "Receiving Blowjob" animation expecting your character to be packin some pretty major heat, so if you aren't, they'll just be suckin on the air in front of your dick.

Exploration isn't all that rewarding, as the amount of clothing types are minimal. Combat is pretty one-note, with you just spamming attacks to stun-lock enemies before they can hit you. There's no H-related to the combat, so there's no incentive to kill them, nor to be killed. In fact, you'll quickly find yourself running past things and skipping to other worlds after you kill enough enemies to move on.

At the moment, the core gameplay loop just became cycling through the worlds to find an NPC I found mildly attractive, interacting with them, and then playing through one of the few animations available.

Other than that? There just isn't anything worth doing.

animations and visuals are great, the artstyle is soft and charming i like how there are randomized islands it reminds me a bit of Muck. the character creator is fun to use with many possibilities. i will definitely buy this game at one point

It's a humble beginning to a great game, The Models are simple yet very expressive, the Animations are on point, Spent 16 hours playing it in a trance trying to get the gate level to max (on 15 atm). The gameplay is smooth, character creation is nice and interesting... I am looking forward to more content, biomes, enemies, and species of NPCs. I love it! Dev Keep up the good work!

Honestly a gem of a unity game. Works well with random generation and weapons. Makes playing this game over and over and over again really fun. needs either a random generation for NPCs or an NPC pool for the player to add to. also I wish the shops were more common

A fun bare bones game, It has lots of potential and just needs more content.

I have only experienced 1 bug, which had me to restart the game, I did not save after 3 hours. I should've done it...

It runs smoothly, the combat is alright, the performance is thanks to the simple graphics very smooth.

If you like furry and futa with some occassional Yaoi, Your gonna like this one.

Sex is entirely optional for progression but it is nice as you get rewarded with orbs which makes your charge the gate to unlock more stages.

Additionally the animations are amazing, the NPC feel much more alive with them, they are not ordinary marketplace animations, They are buttery smooth, and give all NPCs alot more ways to be expressful.

Also not all characters are like cock slurpers Story NPCs except Sophia (I think that was her name, THE PINK CANINE FURRY IN THE TOWN) decline sex offers And cannot be swayed as far as I know.

And you can meet those NPCs randomly on the random generated islands and sit with them and have a VERY SHORT talk, Alternatively you could also kill 'em, I chose the latter. But it does not permanently kill them off.

Also loading times are incredibly fast, I mean like my 10 year old HDD only needs 5 secs fo load a map, Only 1 sec to load into the town.
And those are the only loading times, 'ery noice.

There are as of currently, 3 races, (Sadly with no special abilities), Elf, Canine, and Dragonic. with hopefully more coming.

I highly recommend trying it out.

I love to play the and it has lots of potential. Graphics are great and it is fun .
I hope there will be some improvements such as more sex positions, threesomes, etc.
The controls are more or less the same as with most games. Still I would love to have a control menu as I might miss some control that are already in place.

Pros:
- Good concept
- Nice animations
- Nice gameplay loop

Cons:
- Bare bones alpha
- Will be abandoned after half a year

As for 1.2 version it's a good alpha. So far there are 4 animations. Like many other 3d furry games, there won't be good amount of content and developer will drop it after half a year. I hope I'm wrong.

This review is directed towards [v1.2] which is the latest version posted in the site.

This game has a lot of potential.

Gameplay so far seems pretty simplistic but yet attractive. There is attacking, there is blocking (which in my experience, unless I've been blocking wrong, doesn't prevent you from taking damage [I won't speak for magical attacks as those it's a bit understandable that you get hit despite trying to block them with your sword, I don't think it should do full damage buut perhaps some damage is understandable].. or it could be a bug) and there is dashing and walljumping

Fairly simple and understandable system.

I wasn't expecting the clothes you wear to have statistics, that caught me off guard but isn't bad by any means, the higher your dungeon level the more damage the monsters will be doing, so it makes sense. I also was not expecting you to be able to mix items in the cauldrons, such as the fruits giving you a moderate healing potion.

I didn't go too deep into exploring the recipes, but I'm assuming there are different combinations or there will be. There is also enhancements spread around the different dungeons, which needed specific items for you to do.. this also caught me off guard as I wasn't expecting the game to go so deep

Animations looked fine to me, though I would personally suggest perhaps making the characters feel more calmed. They look so hyperactive right now, XD

I appreciate the fact that there were different expressions for different things you do and reactions from the NPC's. Two things I would like to suggest, the first one being adding fluids if possible when characters ejaculate (this is a personal thing that I always enjoy when it's there, it feels a little awkward to me when there's a sex scene and they've been engaging on it for long enough, they reach the climax, but there's no ejaculation).

And the second suggestion would be to perhaps expand the emoticons repertoire, adding things like: "Offer oral" when you want to give a character oral sex, whether it's vaginal - anal [rimming] - a fellatio [with male characters]

The character creator also seemed pretty fine to me, not excessively in-depth but gives nice-enough customization for us customization lovers.

Story, so far, there isn't much.. but I'm sure this will get expanded upon in the future builds

I look forward to the upcoming updates of this game, will keep a close eye on it. Thank you for your efforts

[v1.0]
Cool walking simulator with fighting and equipment system.

But too bouncy.

-Story, Originality
You are someone from somewhere who were isekaied to multiverse/multiworld place.
And you can fight/loot/*frick*.

-Renders
Good 3D models not too simple or too complicated.

-Sound
Has all basic sounds, but lacks h-sounds.
And there is no voice acting.

-Playability
You can play for ~30 worlds/levels, but they are pretty same and progress gets exponentially harder.
There are some h-content, but it is simple.

This game is more fighting, upgrading equipment and grinding purple stuff (needed to get to another level).

-Performance
Runs okay, didn't have any lags.

-Bugs
Fell through the map 1-2 times.

-Animations
Good animations and h-animations.

BUT.
All the characters are too bouncy to my taste.

They always bounce around like a "caffeinated narcs"

-Voice Acting
No voices

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
Repeatative content.

I got bored after 2-3 hours.
So.
Good game, but needs more lore and features...

The game sure doesn't feel polished enough, some movement and target problems instantly come in mind, but the idea is stunning, and clearly has potential to add more content, and the developer(/developers?) is great. Definitely worth following its development.

This may change, but at the moment it's pretty meh.
It is a walking simulator, since the map is empty most of the time and the character moves slowly. I am not going to talk about the combat because it barely exists. No cosmetics are really useful (Unless you can do something with the coins, which I never found use for).

And most importantly, visually it is very good, and I can say that the animations are quite good, but they are very few (2 as far as I have been able to find). And, at least in my case, the game seems to be poorly optimized, even though it doesn't have even half of the elements of other heavier games I've seen in Unity here.

I hope it improves with time.

Overall great concept, models and animation are amazing, love the style.

+ Positives
- Negatives, observations with possible suggestions
= Bugs and suggestions

+ Models and animation are great
+ Mechanics work very well for what they're intended for
+ Concept and setting are interesting
+ Sexy outfits
+ Small file size and very well optimized for a 3D Unity game
+ Very good character customization, I'm all for it, looking forward to more species and options in the future

- Some floating rock platforms are near impossible to reach even with trick jumping, might need to lower their height a bit
- Portals opened may launch off the edge of the map especially in the town, might need to reduced their impact power

= NPCs will attack you if you attack skeletons within their vicinity despite trying to save them, AI may need tweaking
= NPCs may get stuck in place and nod when you offer yourself during/after they had intercourse themselves. Found that allure and then offer gets them to move
= Dye and pattern station doesn't work on footwear, everything else seems to only have the dye applied to it but not the pattern
= It would be really great if we could have a mechanic that allows to carry over stats from one item of the same type to another in order to be able to wear outfits we prefer the style of, this could be done in a similar way we carry over enchantments or just outright replace it
= Gallery showcase later on would be nice
= Control over animation phase and speed would be great just to really enjoy them to their fullest
= Enemies that are on the ground as ragdoll may get launched into orbit when performing strong attack on them... never change it, it's hilarious
= You may get stuck in the portal while ragdolling when opening it, though it's rare and requires a very weird orientation for it
= Not sure yet why there are 3 weapons slots, didn't notice any dual wielding or necessity to swap them out, let alone actually be able to swap them
= Would be nice to be able to add custom and/or system generated NPCs to the world, the existing roster gets boring after a while when seeing them so often, needs more variety
= Preference settings on gender and race would be nice down the line, personally not a fan of elves/humanoids, but as said, it's just preference

For now this is my first impression of the game but I'm really enjoying it. Keep up the good work.
