so played through the quests and i just wanted to leave my thoughts.
Firstly, the graphics and all that are awesome, well done. The game was enjoyable, the combat was handled well and the overall game feels really unique.
Here are my critiques, the game is a definite "here's the game, figure it out" type which isn't bad but at the same time a bit confusing, going into the game I wasn't sure what any of the controls were and was looking through the settings at the key bindings to figure it all out, a quick pop up menu with basic controls would be nice. When it comes to the carnal mechanic, definitely explain that as I activated it and had no clue what it was or how it was used. Next would be the controller support, its basically non-existent and if you try to use a controller 1 button activates 32 or 3 things, example the carnal button on a controller also opens the keyboard for some reason, and there is no way to change it. Next, the grindiness of your carnal level, with how little it is explained it is easy to miss special dialogue during interactions on quests if you don't have the right carnal level, something I did not find out until I noticed a dialogue option that was greyed out and had looked it up on the wiki, basically you need to find the wandering npcs using the carnal mechanic and have a lot of sex as you only get 50 xp each time, which isn't too bad until you reach level 6 because the xp requirement goes from 810 xp required to get level 6 to 4820 xp for level 7, this will cause you to spend a huge chunk of time just trying to level up and the xp requirements just get higher from there. Next is when crafting, if you leave items in storage you do need to run back and get them out of storage to craft weapons/food/potions, it is a bit annoying and honestly would be better if you did not have to do this. Lastly would be the species you can be in game, when playing if you do a quest called "footsteps of the dragon" you get a quest reward that unlocks the lesser draconid which basically makes the rest of the species worthless as the species gives the highest stats, especially the female as you also get a special item for the female version only, the only other species worth getting is the void spirit which is actually better than the lesser draconid as the natural armour is higher, you just have to re-equip all your gear as when switching to this species causes your gear to unequip, something that is hopefully fixed.
Bugs I noticed, there was actually only 3. The first was when you interact with your storage, if you put something into storage the screen freezes and you have to reload the game to get rid of the storage screen, this only happens when storing items. Second, there is a spot near an npc named Euthymius, you meet him during a quest, that is a garden of sorts, if you step into the garden you sink into the ground, get pulled to a corner and stuck in a falling animation, thankfully you can spam jump and grab the nearby ledge to get out but it is pretty clear it is a bug. Finally, third, there was a strange bug when I was crafting weapons, I did have the required materials but for some reason after making 1 sword the crafting locked out and no matter what I did I could not fix it without fully exiting the game.
Overall I would definitely give this game a 7 out of 10, it is enjoyable, the character customization is awesome and the fact you can change on the fly is really interesting. The gameplay is fun, the combat is fluid and the visuals of the game are really impressive. However the game feels short because of how fast you can progress through the quests, I understand the game is still in alpha, and once you finish the quests the only real thing left is just wander around killing random mobs or having sex with the npcs. The game is for sure worth playing and I'm excited to see what is added in the future.
