Unity - Completed - Book of Korvald [v1.0.9] [Punching Donut]

... everything is bad accept story....

Sex scenes are lazy and boring and static and slow.
Movement is janky often you get stuck on flat ground.

OFten you literally can not attack or move for no reason. Like you just stood in wrong place or smth. Hit boxes are also bad.

Weapons power level makes no sense, when you get fire bomb it deals like infinite damage and all other off hand weapons deal nothing.

Extremely quickly your main attacks stop making senese, they deal nothing so you only wait for special abilities to attack.

Crafting is not explained that you need to find crafting by trial and error.

Quest are bugged that if you done it once you can do finish them infinitely for easy money which sadly is a good thing as it is extremely grindy for gold.
normally you would need to grind like an hour for 100 k gold and then some random crafting for weak weapon/ armor uses it all.
==================

OVer all it is buggy mess, with bad sex scenes. IT is only worth to play it for the story as they made it sort of unique but it quickly gets all bungled up. Like Odin appear out of nowhere and breaks everything. it was stupidly sudden and was dumb.

one of te best games you can play and you must try, you will enjoy every moment playing that game , Have Great Story that make you live it , amazing adventure, and really smart riddles to be fixed, nice animations

v1.0.8

I don't know if the game has a built-in DRM, but I and most other users on this forum can not get past a rather specific part of the game. Whereas the paid version on steam is reportedly to not have any problems at this specific part at all. Which begs the question, why would the dev share the game with us in this "buggy" state?

Cons

• Unresponsive UI
  • A lot of lag in Inventory
• Changing Keybind on Keyboard/Mouse doesn't work
• Drop Down for changing screen resolution doesn't work
• Attack/Dash/Jump Attack Animation Lock
  • Combat Movement transition is not fluid/smooth
• Hold W + Spam Attack to Win
• Game only lets you have sex with female characters/spirits
  • Game has you fight entire army of only males

Pros

• Character + World Design
• Sex Animation
• Story telling isn't cringe

TL;DR
Would be 2/5 stars for surprisingly very good story telling + artistic design choice.
But 1/5 for releasing a $25 game, while getting the fundamentals of game design/creation wrong
The non-fluid combat/movement and lack of H-scenes is just not for me.

When making an adult game you have to decide whether you wanna appeal more to the gamers or coomers. This game fails on both fronts. While the setting, characters, and story is interesting. The gameplay and adult-content not so much.
The combat is extremely one-dimensional with 0 real build variation. I would just pick the weapon with highest damage numbers and spam click and win. The H-scenes are far and few in between and a good chunk of them aren't even something I'd consider attractive. By the end of the games you have dozens of attractive allies and you can actually do stuff with maybe 25% of them? Something to keep in mind is that this game is being sold for 25 dollars when
a game like Witch's Night of Vengeance by D-lis is 10 bucks which is better in damn near everyway. The fact people are giving this game positive ratings shows what a horrible state the adult game industry is in. Suppose its a good opener game, still regret the hours I put into it as the pay off and scenes in general were extremely lackluster.

TL;DR : In its current state I wouldn't recommend the game. Gameplay is meh at most. Adult content is less than meh.

Review for version 0.9.35:

I was intrigued by the Lovecraftian setting at first, but I personally don't think it is a good fit for an adult game. The artist is clearly talented, and the animations are great, but the macabre nature of the world and the grimy art style make it really hard to find any scene particularly enticing. Instead, they feel more utilitarian, serving as rewards for beating a boss or advancing a story.

The story itself is interesting and well-written, certainly the strongest part of this game so far. The voice actors did a great job.

The core gameplay is solid conceptually, but it needs a lot of polishing and balancing. Entire groups of enemies can be stunlocked and killed without receiving any hits in return. The same goes for the bosses; I don't think I encountered a boss that couldn't be killed by standing in one place, smashing the attack button and drinking potions occasionally.

Followers are extremely annoying, I wish there was an option to make them invisible or semi-transparent.

In summary: great story + average art + poor gameplay = Average

For the content, the story is nice, but the porn scenes are not worth it
For the control, I have to admit that it sucks
For the UI, yeah, I kinda like it
For the overall, the game is nice, but needs more work in the future,

This is a well made game, well thought out platformer, nice combat, interesting setting, cool story and characters, a little buggy but not too bad.

Unfortunately this is not a porn game, the porn scenes are few and far between and not really worth it. It's more like a good game with a little porn in between levels. Hence not fappable so don't waste your time if you are here for that.

I wish there was some way on this website we could rate and communicate to other users a sort of "fappibility rating", it would save a lot of time and bandwidth.

It's a work in progress, but so far, I've thoroughly enjoyed playing this. As someone who actually likes gameplay in these types of games, this one doesn't disappoint. Cool artwork, and the story is fun. Can't wait for the final product.

Review for version 0.5.1

Wow, what a surprise this game was! After playing so many utter crap games around here, working my way through awful controls, complete clunkyness, abysmal UIs, mind-numbing "stories" and even disgusting graphics just to get some lackluster and totally not worth H content I almost forgot there are actual good GAMES out here.

I can't overstate what a breath of fresh air it is playing Book of Korvald. Gameplay is smooth, UI is fitting the theme and mostly intuitive, story is engaging and funny (especially the main char), graphics are beautiful (love the church painting kinda style) and the animations are nicely crafted and true to the style.

Yes, it has some bugs, some areas that do not look as beautiful as others, some questionable map design choices. It's not even sex intensive, fact which put me off at first and I reckon others as well BUT during gameplay you don't feel that as the amount of H content is well balanced and tied to the story and game mechanics. That BALANCE I think is the key to a great sex game experience and it makes it actually FUN to play and motivates you to progress. And this game here nails it.

Although Book of Korvald is by no means a perfect game, I'll give it 5 to make it stand out because it deserves to. It's also not a finished game, so more changes, additions and improvements are yet to come. I reckon with time, most of the flaws will be ironed out and could potentially get there *fingers crossed*.

So yeah, if you're also tired of all the glorified picture/animation galleries, half-assed or abandoned piles of trash, uninspired or lame clones that dare call themselves 'games', do yourself a favor and give this one a go. It also has one of the most active game devs I've seen. Honestly, the fact that he only gets 70$ per month for all this is a crime, considering quite a few devs reek in thousands for sitting on their asses and taking ages to add breadcrumbs of content.

Punching Donut, you Sir have my utmost respect and I wish you godspeed with the development of this gem! Looking forward to what the future might bring. Though, I gotta say, the main menu in 0.3.5 was more epic and fitting than the current one.

Great game with fun gameplay and nice scenes!
The dev is a great help and when you find bugs he will almost immediatly fix them and roll out an updated version with the bug fix on his discord.
I also suggest downloading the latest version of the game from the discord as the one linked to the forum is an older version.
I rate 10/10!

One of the most, and fun games, i ever played, Not even including the NSFW portion of it, gameplay itself, is so ..entertaining, I just wish you could remove the allies, having em follow you constantly, sometimes get in the way of the fun.(The Dev has now fixed this you can solo and summon allies) pretty fun

good so far , smooth graphics interesting story. Ilike that the "hero" of the game is a scribe. Scribes are often regulated to just telling the stories of Heros.
I get lost often due to no clear quest log

this game is really good it has game play good models and good story it has a few bugs but the dev is hard working and fixes them asap i love to see all his works till the end i highly recommend playing this game show some love to dev patreon if u liked the game i think he really deserves the support

As of 0.13, the game is buggy but shows immense promise as a quality metroidvania with a male protagonist who gets to occasionally rape his enemies and have sexy times with his allies. I look forward to future updates hungrily. There's enough game here to make up for the distance between sex scenes.

great game with huge potential. The combat is actually fun and could be a game in of itself. the only complaints i have right now is it feels too easy and the companion is too strong. also some bugs here and there but that is to be expected of such an early version. The story is great and characters are fun too. great animations. truly hoping this game survives and gets fully released.

IMO this is one of the most creative games on here, for a 2d scroller. Huge potential in every aspect of it & high quality work overall for such a low version number. Great art, very deep worldbuilding, and sex elements as a garnish to a well thought out game core; rather than it being the entire point everything else gets built around.
