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.
