Unity - Completed - Aria Sucuse [v1.20] [Kamakurara]

3/5

I played this game few months ago after discovering it on some video porn site. At first i was very excited cause it looks primising and something that would fit well with gameplay. Its not really that good though:

- art is nice but scenes looks similar to themselfs, lacking soul or any orginality, the more you see the more boring it will be

- gameplay is not really that good for a rhythm game for few reasons, one of them is bad animations when you click a button, i just dont like how its made, character has like 3 lazy frames of reaction when you take action and its always the same. Besides that its just clicking in right moment, i beat most of it on hard then skipped few last scenes to see what i missed. I would recommend playing it on normal cus it didnt feel worth to grind it.

- not much more to say besides that, its a rhythm game that could be a lot better than it is, maybe in future someone will do it right. Rhythm games are tricky to make

It's a rhythm game where you fill the cum meter to complete the level and ejaculate on the succubus. The art is good, the thematic concept is well executed, and the gameplay is decent. You're penalized for mistakes, but I noticed that because you only have sex with one character—in this case, the succubus and occasionally her friend when they have a threesome—the game becomes monotonous. Once you unlock all the scenes in the gallery, it loses its appeal. In short, it's an average game.

I think it's pretty good for what it is. Basically just blends rhythm games and hentai (L2D). Simple as.

Gameplay, 4/5: Great
It's not something revolutionary but it's just a simple rhythm game that works. It's short enough that you feel disappointed, nor long enough that you get exhausted playing it.

Basically, it's just a good but simple rhythm game. Yes, there are better rhythm games out there, but I think this has enough variety in itself that anyone can have fun as long as they enjoy games like this.

My only major problem is that grinding for the "money" to open up the gallery takes a while, even on hard. It may be different cause I may have played an older version of the game, but I remember clearing a route and having to just repeat songs for maybe another hour-ish to unlock everything.

Visuals, 5/5: Also Great (Also Animated)
What you see is what you get. Honestly, I'm just more impressed at the variety of scenes there are. Though in the actual gameplay, you might not see every variation, in the gallery, you can see each. For example, there's the female-led and male-led variations, and a different perspective, giving 4 "different" animations (though depending on route or specific animation it can be less).

Audio, 5/5: Also Good
I'm rounding up, because I don't think the music is particularly amazing but it's good for a game like this. There's sounds where there needs to be, etc.

If I were to be honest, maybe a 4.5/5 because again, nothing sounds bad nor out of place, but I don't feel particularly inspired or charmed by the music. Just sort of something to do.

Overall, 5/5: Excellent
It's an excellent mix of porn-game and normal game. I think it perfectly fits that balance of difficulty to reward. It's not too hard to grind, just a bit tedious. It's not too hard to beat, just takes some attention. It doesn't feel like a game that should just be a rhythm game, nor does it feel like it should just be merely animations due to lack of difficulty.

TLDR, it meets my ideal for a "porn game" where there's enough gameplay and enough porn.

Very solid rhytm game that people who aren't really into rhytm game will def have fun with. music is nice, some tunes did stick to me for a while, bit nothing outstanding really. Some stages are hard to beat above 100%, but after couple tries will be enough to pass the level.

Art and animations are very good, dynamic and audio is full of plaps and stuff. There are several routes, which is a pleasant addition, but you have to 100% to get one of them, which is totally fine.

Nice game for an evening, but nothing outstanding. Doest its work well both as a rhytm and h game

Excellent execution of Live2D animations accompanied by a straightforward and fun rhythm game. Great VA work as is commonplace amongst many JP titles. Gallery function is easily accessible to view all game scenes unhindered by gameplay, although grinding for currency in the base game can be slightly repetitive.

Vr high quality animations coupled with a beat saber kind of game.
You earn score which unlocks the scenes post gameplay.
A few of the later songs are difficult, just grind out on easy mode. There is like 12 animations or so.
Not a 5 star bcs a few of the scenes arent as good as the others and im not a fan of these gigantic camel breasts.

tl;dr (this really isn't that long though) - Story is pretty generic, gameplay is middling, game is hard carried by the quality of the animations.

Bear in mind that my review is based of my experience with v1.1 of the game, rather than v1.20 that this site has. I originally played a while back, with the raw and untranslated version. Also this review is kind of scatterbrained, so be warned of that.

My ONLY understanding of the story is that this succubus cursed you or something and whoever loses the sex battle becomes the other person's slave. It's kind of generic, let's be honest here, and I don't think either of us care too much about it.

As for gameplay, essentially it's just a pretty barebones rhythm game. Left/right click to the beat, depending on which side the notes are coming from. Click a fake note and a "temptation" cut-in or whatever will appear to distract you for a little bit and make seeing the notes harder. Beat the required score and you "win", don't and you "lose". Either way, the story still progresses. That's the gameplay and that's all that you're going to be doing, from start to finish.

All the songs are unlocked from the start, so you can just jump in wherever in the story. At least I think they are, anyways. Kind of weird, considering it seems there's a very obvious intended progression route, but it is what it is. Speaking of routes, there's two, win and lose. Master route and slave route, if you want to call them that. Both take place after the competition, sort of an epilogue I guess, showing what goes on afterwards.

The animations... Well, yeah, the animations are pretty damn nice. I won't lie. Definitely the game's strongest point. Though funnily enough, the "bad" ending has way better ones. The "good" ending really isn't that good. I think you'll get what I mean if you see them for yourself. You might not agree if you don't have the same kinks that I do though, in which case... fair enough. To each their own and all.

I don't know if the chart for the last song on the slave route is shitty or if I just suck, but I know that it's one of the two. Every other song was super easy to FC even with intentionally hitting the fake notes, but getting a full combo on the last was incredibly painful. But I did do it, eventually. And yeah, there aren't any full combo rewards or anything, but I have my pride as a man. I'm pretty sure Hatsune Miku would've tried to strangle me if I didn't, too, but that's besides the point.

As to the music (something important, considering this is a RHYTHM game)... I really don't remember any of it. I would call that a bad thing ordinarily, but I have a really shitty memory as well, so I'm not sure whether it's the game's fault or mine.

That about wraps up the review though. Just try the game out for a bit, see if you like what you look at. That's my opinion on it. At most, you waste a little bit of time.
