    Not bad, not great.

    The game as a whole is pretty straightforward - it's a shoot-'em-up with a world map but with linear plot progression. New weapons and upgrades are available, but they have to be unlocked by finishing specific stages.

    The main enemies are the four witches, who are bosses that are recruited as allies when you defeat them. In the menu, you can pick one of the available witches to come with you on a mission - but this doesn't have any bearing on the story, and the only effect is that it gives you stat bonuses.

    The porn in the game consists of animated scenes, though they are censored through pixellation. Each of the four witches gets three scenes, so there's twelve in total. The first scene of each witch is automatically attained after beating the witch in her boss stage, but the two other scenes have to be unlocked by upgrading the witch with 'discipline points'. These 'discipline points' are gained by finishing a previously unfinished stage.

    The interface in this game is simple and slightly clunky. The sexscenes and story segments are visual novel-style, but there's no rollback, no log, and no option to hide the menu. And especially during the sexscenes, the game responds poorly to clicks or keystrokes - so rapidly clicking through a sexscene isn't really possible.

    Gameplay

    The gameplay here works, but it's really basic as far as shoot-'em-ups go. You can switch between two equipped weapons, and then there's a third special weapon that slowly charges up. There's more than a dozen weapons available in the game, but you have to equip the ones you want to use before the mission.

    Your main weapon will fire automatically, contrary to what you'd expect. This isn't really explained anywhere - in fact, the tutorial just says "press J to switch weapon, press K to fire", but the K-key only refers to the special weapon. So that's a little confusing.

    The enemies are kinda basic, but they still have a nice variety to them. And that variety is good, because you'll be seeing the exact same lineup of enemies throughout the game. Sometimes a new enemy gets added, but that's it.

    The worst part about the gameplay is that the balancing is kinda off. The enemies get stronger and tougher with each stage. Granted, you also gain experience and level up - but not nearly at the same rate as that the enemies get stronger. So unless you make sure that you level up at least once per new stage, you'll get completely outclassed in the later levels.

    Fortunately this game allows you to replay old stages, meaning that you can just grind easier levels for XP. But that's still time-consuming, and the fact that you have to do this in order to make sure that the later stages remain playable is... not a plus.

    Story & Writing

    The story is... paperthin. The premise is superficial and comical and it stays at that level, so don't go expect any deep lore in this one.

    The ending kinda annoyed me;

    Art & Porn

    The art is generally good. It's kinda like the better Newgrounds games. And the art style is consistent throughout the game.

    The background art was clearly an afterthought, considering that most of it is just random photos. But that's not even all that objectionable.

    The sexscenes are... okay, I guess? The quality of the art remains consistent. But even though the sexscenes are varied, I didn't find them all that fappable. Not even compared to those of oldschool Newgrounds smut games.

    Conclusion

    3/5 stars for this one.

    Like I said at the start: not bad, not great. I played the whole thing from start to finish, completed every stage at 3 stars, got all the upgrades and unlocked every sexscene. It doesn't feel like I wasted my time, but... it's not like I really enjoyed myself all that much either.

    Game mechanics are ok but It takes several levels for any lewd content and then it's terribly pixelated. If some of the normal monsters or even just sub bosses were a bit spicer then it would be a more satisfying experience.
