Others - Cage of Tentacles-R [v1.3.0] [Chinakoro/Erufu Tea Plantation]

game is simple and straightforward, but it is too short which might be a plus for someone who only wanna see the gallery (or just use save instead lol). it also kinda RNG-dependent on the early game when you haven't got the relic or upgrades (I already got to the boss at earlier version, but it didn't work on the new version, so I use the mod because fck it I'm already full of RNG bs on gacha games). H-scene is good but coz of its short duration the H-scene is not much.

RNG game is ass for me cuz my luck like shit
However this RNG hentai game is pass from my test, even it's require grind (I'm swear this game grind and take alot of time - like more than 3 hours), there're reasons:
+This game has animation, I'm really like the game using animation instead static art. (Gonna add to my fap collection ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )
+This game isn't hard, only you had to do is save 3 highest card number-num 10, pick right Willpower to boost you, upgrade Luck point so you can pick card num10 oftenly, last is don't get low hp or fall at ero trap(save alot highest card number so you can dodge those trap)
+ Cute character - that's all =))))
Every RNG game I usually rate 2/3 ⭐. Only this game I'll rate 5⭐ cuz I'm mean.... =))))))

[v1.3.0]

Boring, simple yet lacking, slow and not worth your time.

• Even the gallery that actually has good art, animations and (debatably) okay sound suffers from slow interactions, unnecessary state and menu resets and reloads.
• This is barely a game, they didn't even give you a proper way to give up- sure you can use the evil items for arousal and mysterious evil (probably gives lowest value cards), but you can't give up, enemies can match and you still need to loose for scenes. Also losing twice in a row is a GAME OVER.
• Not only have they screwed the losses, they screwed the wins- you have the overpowered rest mechanic- guaranteed to restore a set amount of MP and HP and removes debuffs, rarely gives enemy encounters, but AFTER applying the restoration.
• Also the fireball and infinite MP from rest makes the the combat irrelevant.
• The other less than half-assed mechanic are the "souls"- rare equipment you can have only 1 of, have seen only 5 different ones total.

Its bad enough to not give it a single pity point.

Reminds me of Sol Rui Mini which is one of my most favorite ero game. It has good artwork and animation, gameplay decent even though it is not really challenging.
If it comes with harder mode then this game will be perfect.

Surprisingly a decent game.


It's possible to clear through the game in first try if u play carefully, but that aside, most h scenes are from the tentacles winning. The animations are great.


Surprisingly great ending music. And I liked the story telling.

version 1.0.0

Pros:

1. Hostile gruesome environments and atmosphere, you trip and fall deep into an underground cave where every wall is made out of flesh and covered in biological fluids. Different tentacle monsters appear here and attack you.
2. H-scenes are fully animated, fully voiced, optionally you can toggle on internal view and futanari, all the scenes are non-consensual (let's be honest, if you are an f95zone user this doesn't bother you).
3. There is actual gameplay - turn based card game where you and the enemy pick a card, the one with the higher number deals damage to the enemy, the diff doesn't matter, only thing that matters is getting a bigger number.
4. By killing enemies you get xp, with xp you level up and gain skill points to increase stats like your chances of getting better cards.
5. There's interactive events where you can get damaged with a disgusting debuff if you don't select a powerful card.
6. You have some options for what to do in between fights - rest and recover, heal, reset cards, remove abnormalities.
7. Save scumming is an option, this can be abused to retry some event/fight to get good RNG eventually after reloading the save.
8. Gallery is unlocked before you even start playing.

Cons:

1. All H-scenes are on defeat only, at least if you get defeated you get a second chance in a break free event to recover and continue forward.
2. The usual way to play porn games a.k.a. "get raped by everything for fun and then actually fight and beat the enemies" doesn't work here at all because of the corruption meter - once it fills up it's game over, you gotta start from the beginning, this heavily encourages you to fight as much as possible and avoid getting raped as much as possible until you beat the game.
3. No replayability.
4. You can beat the game in 1h 30m, it's too short.
5. There's mo H-scenes while still in combat, only on defeat.
6. The final boss is ez - use mana potion to get full mana before the fight, spam fireballs to win, he won't even scratch you.
7. Gallery doesn't reveal the interactive events.
8. The performance is kinda wack, you need 2 seconds for the in-game interface to load.
   

This game was so close to receiving the 5/5 from me, but it didn't quite make it. So I rate it a 4/5

Good game with (mostly) good live2d art, now waiting for the full release version with the voice lines, its gonna be nice.
Totally digging this, these kind of games are rare. This forum is full of those trash 2d wannabe rpgs. Completely misses the point for me, i dont wanna spend fckn days to finish some retarded (and crappy) h-game, im not that low ok?
At least here it gets to the point and no shitty pixel art so thats a bonus.

Why menus are so weird?...
Game is working rly bad like Russian car, its hard to start it, hard to drive it, but once it start moving... its moving... barely but somehow.

Well there is many types of tentacles but even if You want to lose its really hard to lose... game is almost 100% RNG Based, and when You losing game is giving You more and more better cards i wish i could just see all scenes from this game and not play it at all...

Gameplay is boring but its nice to see this girl being fucked.
But almost impossible in RNG based game that forces You to win...

You get cards and u use them to attack, move and do everything :/...

This game is centered around losing to see sex scene but in many cases forces you to win by shoving nothing but high cards and making the enemy roll like trash.

This game literally forces you to not see sex scene due to rng, it has failed as a porn game.

A really fun game, and its enjoying to try to lose by saving low cards. A good diversity of scenes/events/enemies. Definitely far better than the average tentacle game. It's not even v1.0 and people are hating on it.

REVIEW Cage of Tentacles-R 0.8.0

STORY: 2/5. It seemed to be fine but the ending leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.
GAMEPLAY: 3/5. Card gameplay with many mechanics, quite satisfying. Although it is quite easy to win.
SCENES: 3.5/5. Good scenes, the bad thing is that its difficult to lose and by corrupting you there is no final scene, they only throw you to the title.
TRANSLATION: 3.5/5. Some things arent well translated, the text is very small or stands out in some things. Still understandable and enjoyable.

CONCLUSION: 3/5. Entertaining game, entertaining but not great. If you have time, you like card mode and you like tentacles it is recommended.

Review for v0.8.0: Pretty solid 3. An interesting way to spend an hour or two.

Cons:
- Even though it's machine translated, there's still a lot of text that hasn't been translated from Japanese.
- Grindy--you'll fight the same mob several times over and probably have to repeat actions like resting or cycling your cards.
- No save point or gallery means it's a pain to experience multiple paths.
- Even when the scene transitions are being narrated, none of the writing really feels like it's telling a story or concerning itself with the continuity of your current run.

Pros:
- Some good visuals/animations.
- A decent variety of kinks.
- The card gamification and other combat mechanics give you something to engage your mind (this may be a con to some).

This is for v0.8.0

The game is WAY too easy.
It's basically a lose to win game, but you really have to want to lose to be able to lose.
I just finished a playthrough of current content and only came close to losing once and it was purely because of poor RNG on the card draws for a single battle against the strongest enemy in the game.
There's also no saving function as far as I could tell, so be prepared to start over if you leave the game I guess.
Thankfully, the game is incredibly short if you never lose, so a save function isn't really necessary.

Definitely an entertaining way to pass the time, but the degree to which you have to try to lose is insane.
If you want to see any content at all, then never level up your abilities, burn all of your good cards, and intentionally play losing cards whenever you get the chance.
There is no gallery either, so the only way to see content is to intentionally lose.

EDIT: Apparently you keep all of your levels from previous runs when you start over, so definitely don't level anything up if you want to see any content. It apparently only saves run data as long as you don't close the game.
I made the mistake of maxing out my luck and strength in the first run so now I don't even know if I can lose even if I try.

Nice art and concept, good H content, but the game is WAY too easy. I was literally trying to lose and I really had to make an effort to lose. I would advise making the game MUCH MUCH harder please. I would pass up this game for now if I were you until these issues are fixed otherwise it's a waste of your time.
