Unity - Breaking the Princess [v0.32] [Pyorgara]

I really like this dev's prior games that's why I've kept coming back to check on this game from time to time, honestly though the writing is just straight up bad in this one, all of the characters are fairly one dimensional and weirdly dumb. The gameplay is completely unbalanced to the point of not being fun at all... BUT atleast it's no longer completely unplayable since the UI has been massively overhauled compared to the last time I tried playing it. It's tedious and actively unfun to play but it's playable, the art is mostly ok and the setting is kinda interesting at first glance but it's not well handled.

Princess
The laziest strawman ever made, she genuinely doesn't feel like a character just an accumulation of negative stereotypes, her defining trait is being too dumb to live.

Princess's aid/best friend that secretly(?) loves the princess
Supposedly competent aid to the princess that actually does all the work the princess is supposed to, her defining character trait is just unconditionally loves the princess.

Protagonist's slutty knight friend
Her defining trait is that she's a wannabe slut, that's not allowed to be a slut by her position(she's nobility), there are moments where the game tries to make her seem like more than that, but they feel like hollow after thoughts.

Protagonist
An arrogant rapist with a fragile ego, that's slightly more competent at fighting than your average fighter, he's dumb, but somehow everyone else is just dumber. His defining character trait is arrogant peasant.


Instead of feeling the like you're playing as the competent hero/leader/defender/rebuilder of a city, it feels more like you're playing as the protag of one of those "a hopeless loser gets revenge on people they dislike" type stories. With the scenario being about how four people(only 1 male) were given a group project that would heavily affect all of their futures and only half the members put in the work, so as deadline approached the guy confronts the girls that haven't been contributing, and they tell him they have no intention of helping so go away and get the security at their house to escort him out because he's trespassing, and not wanting to have his work help people that won't help him he decides to just abandon the project. After a while the girl that had been helping him all this time comes to beg/convince him to help her finish it, and upon seeing her he just decides I'm horny right now so I'm gonna rape her, to which she panics and cries out her request please help me finish the project, and after he's finished, he says he'll do it on the condition that she keeps letting him fuck her whenever he wants, to which she agrees because she was secretly a slut all along that just couldn't seem to get laid due to her super strict parents and is therefore super into what he did to her. Upon realizing how big of a deal the project was to the girls he decides to try extending his conditions aka:blackmail to the other girls and it works, so now he's fucking 1 girl that's into it, and 2 that really don't want to have anything to do with him.

As with this game developers other games, the writing is excellent, however, this game wants to be too many things at once.
Part mediocre visual novel, part subpar strategy game, when it's true strenght and unique selling point lies in it's writing.
It would have been better and more on par with this game developers skills if it were an illustrated text-based game with a clean UI similar to games like "Roadwarden", instead of trying to punch above it's weight class with only one person developing this game.

Almost Everything is chance based. Upgrading your town is almost useless.
Archer,Berserk,beastmaster have only 50% to defeat enemy. enemy damage with each mine is insane, so you have to play with one mine open for literaly 24 hour
before you can buy someone more usefull with not chance based win. Maybe there is some strat to this but i pretty sure it will still be chance based.

3 stars on the merit of his other works: Soldier's Life and News Desk are both brilliant... but they weren't until they were finished.

Currently there isn't enough content to merit the serious amount of grind here. Even with the cheat code it's grindey.

Have faith, support the dev, and i'm sure the final product will be worth your time.

This is my first review and I write it because I feel none of the current reviews are fair.

Like others pointed out, it is a full game and not a left-click-for-porn. Yes UI is unconventional and takes a few turns to get used to. That being said this is neither a global strategy game with hundreds of hidden variables complex nor first release unpolished UI with invisible buttons. After 15 min I was in the game and never lost a fight anymore.

What keeps me from the 5/5 rating I would give the other games of this dev, is actually the characters themselves. In the other games there was a power struggle between the mc and the "LI"s and that was what made the sex scenes hot (early game Vanora is one of the hottest characters in porn games). In this game everyone just submits in the prologue. After that it feels like you fight for the survival of your mining town and those fights produce currency you can cash in to get pussy as a bonus. This system fails to get me engaged in the story or the sex scenes. I find that sad because I still like the game and the general style.

To better tie the sex scenes into the game and round out the "LI"s I would change the reward system to reflect the actual motivations of the characters. It feels strange that the dutyfull knight asks for money (explained as whore roleplay) when her main goal is to protect the people. It would make more sense if she was rewarding you for the fights you won or defending the town, like in her first scene in the prologue. The same for the princess, she is exiled until she can supply a huge amount of crystals for the duration of one year. So why does she reward the mc for glory in battle and seemingly does not care whether he delivers any crystals?

To get the most out of the game I would advise new players to play the game for a while to collect many points and after that read through all the sex scenes in one go to get your faps on.

(played v0.10 on linux)

This is too much, the UI is abtuse and hard to use. The tutorial slowly creep on small 4x complexity lol, and it is not good enough as Eushly games to make me invested into this complexity.
I love the idea of making managment games to simulate working and slowly getting into pants of girls into some kind of enviroment. That is cool. But this is just too much.

Pretty good but it's still a early stage.

OVERVIEW: It's very similar to other pyorgara games but, in this game you have 3 characters to corrupt. 2 of them being the bitchy ones.
Art is pretty good but limited as in the v0.10, there is like 6-7 of them but the amount of scenes without art is pretty decent. You can have like a 5 hours of gameplay even at this stage of the game.
Characters are interesting and they connect well with each other.Their designs are also very on the point.
ART: yYou can pretty much expect the art on the cover of the game. It's pretty consistent and there is no bad art in this game. Developer tends to release the game with art in only some scenes, and add once they make good ones.
GAMEPLAY: It looks horrendous at the start. It's looking like the stupidest and hardest thing out there but just bear with it a little bit and you will see that it really has a really basic concept behind it. You can master it to the level of breaking the game in like, 30 minutes. So it's really no big of a deal even though hud looks a bit confusing.
SOUND: none, which is good. Games like these, when they have a stock music in the background on loop or some pornstar's moaning sound every three seconds; it's just disturbing and unnecessary. I hope they keep it this way.
DIFFICULTY: none, once you play for 20 minutes.
POTENTIAL: depends, it can go up to the moon as far as the story goes, there is a lot of interesting concept but the game remindsme of "Soldier's Life" from the same studio. After some point of game, CG's start to get rare and game is stuck in a loop of doing same things over and over again. For the point, i loved Soldier's life, it was a compact and good story. Im just saying it probably wont be a big game.


EDIT AFTER NEARLY 9 MONTHS: 2 new scenes in 9 months so... it should take around 5 years to finish.

Wow I don't know what to say here. Ok interface, is well not gonna win any awards. I want to call it complicated but its more like cluttered is word I am looking for. Like its hardest part to wrap yourself around. I trying my best not to break review posting rules but this was nothing like many may be expecting from this team.

I just can not recommend it in its current state, its trying its best to be like 4x but its so cluttered, and bare bones its just off putting. And I love 4x and strategy games. But this is cluttered for sake of appearing more complicated. Its really hard not to compare this to their last game. And its even harder to want to play this in its current state for me.

I just do not recommended it till it gets more meat on its bones.
