Unity - Completed - Captivity [v1.0.5b] [Perveloper]

current ver. as of review is v.1.0.5b
game is complete and the dev has also peaced out of the internet as a whole so it's likely the final version.


GENERAL:
a 2d shooter with limited exploration/platforming. the setting varies by level, each mostly being a trope of some kind or a parody (e.g. there's a fnaf-inspired level.) the sex content consists of being raped by enemies, includes some pregnancy content (mostly insects...) and limited gore/bdsm.


GAMEPLAY:
as far as grapple-based-rape 2d shooting platformers go, this is one of the better ones. i will be leaving any mods out of my review as i think the review should reflect the vanilla game instead. that said even without mods the game is feature-complete and has quite a lot of content to it.

each level has its own genre cliche theme- a zombie level, a space station level, etc. each level has around 4-6 unique enemy types each with unique attacks and behaviors that set them apart. each level has a unique strategy to it which keeps the game feeling fresh as you complete the missions in each area and move on.

there's a pretty large roster of weapons. most of them are what you'd expect from average tactical-shooter games- pistols, smgs, shotguns, rifles, etc. there are also a couple level-unique weapons like a flamethrower in the space station and an insta-kill laser rifle in the animatronics level. different weapons work better in some levels than others so the player is encouraged to try new ones and experiment which is great and much preferred over a meta that centers around 1 or 2 weapons.

enemies arrive in waves, kills get you money, and in-between waves you spend the money on upgrades, weapons, and in some cases opening up areas of the level. somewhat like cod-zombies if the zombies were trying to bone you.


SEX CONTENT:
sex scenes are entirely based on being grabbed and raped by the various enemies. the huge variety the game provides means a lot of different tropes and sex positions, so anyone with a preference for insects, aliens, robots, etc will have something they like here. there are even mechanics for being impregnated by some of the enemies if that's your thing.

the game does lack a proper gallery, so if you want to see sex with an enemy that only shows up in later waves you have to play the level for a bit to see it. it's also a bit of a hassle if you want to see a scene with a specific enemy, since you're usually being swarmed by a lot of them and deliberately getting grabbed by the one you want is not easy.


OVERALL:
a very solid game in terms of gameplay, and even if seeing the sex scenes you want can be a little tedious there's such a variety that it's hard to criticize it too much. this game has already spawned more than a few imitators, all of which are floundering to recreate any of the quality and appeal this one has, so i would say if you pick any of them to play first (or at all) it should be the original here.

mods are your friend too. plenty of qol and additions that can improve the game are out there, though it's a little awkward to have to dig through discords and personally-hosted files to get them.

I wouldn't play this without the cheat mods enabled. With them, the game becomes a fun challenge of seeing how long you can survive before you inevitably get fucked.

Over time your resistance goes down, so eventually you won't be able to resist no matter how hard you try. The resist bar goes down with every thrust, which is immersive for all the sub sluts out there.

There's a variety of fetishes here, most notably with insects, pregnancy, oviposition, aphrodisiacs, a dog, and a facehugger that latches on and stays attached steadily pumping you full of aphrodisiac and larva until you find out how to get it off. It's just missing a quick and easy gallery mode, but all the content is quick to reach with cheats enabled.

Very average game, the only good thing about it are the scenes, which in typical sidescroller fashion you get punished for trying. If you're in it for the sccenes, I recommend downloading the cheat with the game. The unlockables are very grindy with small reward, and there aren't enough enemy or scene variety to keep the player going after a very early point. 3-4 enemy types on each map, with usually one secret to find, but the gameplay just isn't good enough to keep me interested. Definitely not to unlock everything.

fun shooter!!! nsfw is whatever I'm not really into bugs and aliens and egg pregnancy stuff which is like almost half of the levels, but it's fine because the game is an actual game with fun gameplay. I liked the five nights at freddies parody level, the robots there had the best nsfw animations in the game.

I love the style of the sex animations and are really good. I've found myself coming to this game over and over just to fap to those anims I'll be honest, but I'm giving a 4 star review 'cause the gameplay is it's biggest flaw. There are some levels, like the Cave one, that are some of the most annoying things I've ever experienced in gaming lmao
The enemies keep swarming you and the damage of the weapons is too low to kill them before they get you. Then, since the level is dark (before buying generators) you often get assaulted by some worms on the ground that you didn't see, maybe because of the darkness, maybe because you were trying to kill the giant thing in front of you, and you rolled an attack just to get on that fucking worm. The other levels are generally ok, but the gameplay is still the same: shoot while going backwards, reload and dodge if needed.

Solid little shooter that takes place in a 2D arena. The game usually doesn't feel particularly unfair as far as normal gameplay but some of the achievements are absolutely ridiculous and just way to much of a time investment - if you actually try to 100% the game yourself you will spend hours and hours on this, for better and for worse. Shame the dev has moved on as some sort of expansion/sequel would be nice to see, but whats there is worth checking out.

I'm pissed off.

Simple shooting and dodging mechanics with a good animations, this is what will capture your attention for some time.
But if you are curious about the code you will get after getting every achievement...
DON'T, JUST FUCKING DON'T.
These "experiments" are fucking dumb, like... GO AHEAD AND DIE ONE FUCKING HUNDRED TIMES.

*sigh*

Even with a speedhack that was frustrating as hell.
And what will you get in the end? I'll spoil you so you don't need to waste your time.

Fudge you, developer.

This game is fantastic

The gameplay is REALLY GOOD. Weapons, consumables, dodging, enemies movement. This IS a game, not a way to get lewd content with someone interactive things. But a game that have lewd content as a plus.

Having said that, the scenes are quite good. There are a lot of enemies, And several missions, which unlock clothes and so on, If you are looking to have fun with a game, with some spicyness to it. Go on there is nothing left to think about.

TL;DR: A COD Zombies side scroller where you fight to not let the enemies rape you. Main issues are poor weapon performance, lack of progression, and poor monetary rewards



Captivity is a very strange game, and as I write this review, I'm split between two parts. On one hand, the lewd scenes are animated very well, and they're also pretty kinky, what with how your character reacts and the sounds complement them as well. You've got normalish sex (from zombies), bestiality, insex, and even some stranger things, like aliens and FNAF strange robots.

On the other hand, the game play surrounding them, while not terrible, has MAJOR flaws. The game plays like a 2D COD Zombies round: Spawn in, shoot foes, get money to buy new weapons, ammo, and items to restore HP/Strength or decrease libido. Making the pointer where you shoot is genius, and that gives you a great amount of control and precision... that is, if your guns weren't horribly inaccurate. Even the safe and secure pistol, which thanks to it's infinite ammo and permanent availability tends to have bullets wiz over the enemies head, even if they're not twitching about or moving too much. Also, I think that either money rewards are too low, or prices too high; there are some rounds you can't heal both HP and Strength, simply because the enemies did not give enough cash reward. As well, it would take several rounds of no spending just to afford a weapon that is only marginally better than your current weapon. The dodge roll you can use is quite useful, but there are no invulnerablility frames, so the second it ends, you can be grabbed and assaulted, so that's not fair in my eyes.

Progression is simple, complete achviements (like kill enemies, get gropped, get knotted, etc.) to get pieces of clothes for Subject. This actually ties into my least favorite part of this entire game: Your 1000th run and your second are idententical. The first run, you're running around searching for what's where and what works, but after that, that's it. The way I figured it's work is go in, fight and kill, get mind broken, reset to the subject room, then use money earned for what you did to then upgrade what you have (Increase HP gained by Asprin, reduce the price of ammo) or buy new weapons to start with/purchase. But no. There is no progression at all, and that sucks.

Overall, my final thoughts are that while the sex scenes can be enjoyable, the end product is a frustrating game that gets repetitive quickly, and one that, other than the occational times I want to wank to some strange material, this game is not one I will revisit often.

Wtf are the reviewers smoking??? Why is this game holding a 4.5 average rating??? I give this game a 2/5 because it's not terrible, but its gameplay is.

You fight hoards of enemies, progressively stronger with each stage, you would think that the stages are limited to some final stage and as you defeat all the enemies, you win, and proceed forward, right? Well no, a single stage runs infinitely, until you are eventually killed by the absurd amount of enemies. That's right, infinitely, you cannot win, ever.

The difficulty - it's very hard, even on normal difficulty, you use the default pistol to shoot enemies, you farm cash to hopefully buy a better gun and ammo for it, and desperately try to survive as long as possible until eventually you die.

Surely this hard gameplay would reward you for performing good in the game? Nope, once you eventually die, you lose all of the money and all of the weapons you managed to acquire in the stage you played on. All your hard work, all gone, when you play the stage again you are back to zero, with the default pistol. This is the main reason why I rate this game so low.

There are these weird achievments where you gotta grind so so hard, and when you get them, what do you get? Nothing.

Maybe the only fun way to play is to use an infinite health/ammo/stamina cheat, I haven't tried it. This shows you the horrible game design.

Ohhhh, yeah, if you load someone's save, and see what reward you get for suffering through all of these horrible stages, in the ending you just get killed. Oops, spoilers. At least let the main character earn her freedom and escape this hell she is stuck in, but no we can't have that according to the dev hahahaha.

Mash keys to escape, mash to get up, mash to shoot. Carpal Tunnel game. Eventually you get auto weapons, but even with perfect accuracy and picking up every ammo box, you will run out of ammo quick. This forces you back to single-fire pistol, even on casual difficulty. Remove the button mashing and this game instantly goes up 2 stars. I don't mind difficult games, but I don't want to develop arthritis early.

Other game design issues; The maggots are miniscule and hard to see. There are no weapon upgrades around the $1000 range. You can buy items that you can't even use.

Animation is good, but not a fan of the art-style. I like monster stuff and liked the genre variety.

Review of [v1.0.5b]

For this game, 4.4 starts(at the time of this review) is criminally underrated. Fun to play, hot scenes, different fetishes for different people and the possibility of expansion with different stages, I wish this project was taken further.
Worth playing and deserves more attention.

Version 1.05b:

The gameplay is quite hard to grasp but extremely satisfying once you get how everything works, there is a lot of sex scenes, and it's quite sandboxy too, so that's a 10/10 for me. Just don't expect to play this with one hand if you're actually trying to play the game and not just to get fucked by every enemy.

Version: v1.0.5b

If i could, i would have given this game a 2.5/5 stars.

I played like 3 hours of this game and i completely ignored the sexual content, because the gameplay is simply too fucking hard for me to be horny and enjoy myself. I dont think this would be a problem if the gameplay was good and well, for the first few hours i enjoyed playing this for its mechanics, but quickly, my vibe got killed real fast when i realised that there is no real rewards in this game. You get simple few outfits for all of that grind, for all of that sweat, doesnt seem worth tryharding.

The gameplay is self is solid, for a few hours, after those few hours, the game just becomes really repetitive. The problem is the fact that this game is a very simple shooter, with a few simple platforming mechanics, this games simplicity and the amount of grind you have to do simply dont align.

The sexual fetishes are quite tasteful, even if it is a bit annoying to get some enemies that you want, animation and art are simple, but it gets the job done.

Overall a very "meh" type of game

Actually engaging and interesting gameplay - it requires a fair amount of learning and time to get good. Satisfying gunplay and proper usage of Unity's physics despite the 2D environment. It reminds me of the better Flash games back in the 2000s.
Unfortunately, the core design of the game makes it so the above is somewhat wasted. While the initial exploration of each level in game is interesting, they're all pretty small, and once that's done you're basically stuck in an arena, grinding waves of enemies for achievements, which ultimately just ends up being tedious. Not to mention, some of them or so grindy they're nigh-impossible to achieve without cheating - like the one requiring losing (being mindbroken) a total of 100 times. It could be 10 times instead, and the achievement would be perfectly fine.
Not like the achievements are worth it in the first place - your only reward for them are cosmetic outfits (which, are, arguably, not even very visible because of the minimalistic 2D design) and an ending that's an enormous disappointment. There's not even an unlockable gallery or anything...

I strongly feel if this game was more "campaign" based where you explore long levels, instead of an "arena shooter survival" it would be engaging for a lot longer amount of time.

The, uhhhh "sex effects", I guess (?), including sound, for each unique rape scene per enemy are very well executed. I know it's going to sound weird, but the way they're animated compensates for what I thought would be an incredibly unsexy scenario - that is; a very boring, unappealing character sprite being violated.

That being said: the game's too morbid for my taste. It felt at times like I was outright playing a guro/snuff game. I realize that the game is deliberately not trying to be lighthearted, but it still felt too heavy for a porn game.

Not really my type of thing but for a shooter type game its fine, the sex could be more interesting and as things are designed your actually dis-incentivized to do sexual things for the most part, but its still a fairly nice little casual game.

IDK how people can rate this game 4-5 stars, they probably have not played a better game. I tried this out due ot its high rating only to find out its not worth it. The fetishes might be interesting but they are limited and the gameplay makes you grind for it so hard. Your rewards are just simple outfits with a slight change in color, you dont even get to improve your skills or gain more money or have anything worth your effort. This should be obvious from the amount of mods and cheats trying to make the game worthwhile, but even than the "nearly full" save could not even bother to unlock all the achievements because the developer asks you to spend the following 5 weeks only grinding the game without introducing a new game mechanic or a new scene or whatever.

The actual game is really fun and genuinely challenging. The animations are done competently and there's a lot of weirder (ie, non-human) kinks, which I enjoy and are rare enough to make this game one of the greats.

There's an underrated achievement system which was, like, pretty tough. The cosmetics you unlock for it are really hit or miss, which sucks. It's like there were bursts of inspiration but the end result was just a bit disappointing. Anyway, that all just bonus--the core of the gameplay and H-content is very strong.

Fantastic game, haven't seen anything else that combines combat and sex this well. Smooth animations, nice art-style and it's also hard as nails. Has something for everybody, from futa animatronics to giant insects. Not in development but mods are pretty great.

Actually really fun gameplay - basically COD zombies but 2d and they fuck you. Really really hard though - especially if you want to get all the achievements and escape. It's pixelated but the sexual content is well animated and there is good enough variety. The sounds are good, though the voicing could be better, and the music adds an ominous background that really brings out the horror, but could definitely be more interesting.
The story is minor, mostly setting, it is heavily stolen from tropes and franchises but it mostly works. Except the goblin area seems like a weird tone shift relative to the others. More quirky rather than the other areas which are more horror. I encountered some bugs (pun not intended) in the bug cave, some of which were fixed but some still remain - no bugs in other areas though.
Relative to most porn games I'd give this a 12/10. I was surprised by how good this game is, surpasses all expectations.
