Unity - Completed - Colony City 27λ [v1.1.0] [Bunny Eats Tiger]

The gameplay is by far the best part of this game. It has a pretty unique combat system that gives a lot of options, while being quite easy to understand.

The roguelike system is acceptable, but I feel it is a real missed opportunity that the only encounters are enemies you have to fight. The classic random events that other roguelikes use would have made this game much better, too.

The H-scenes are decent, but nothing special. They are presented well, but the variety is quite lacking and they are barely animated. I did really like how well they were integrated into the gameplay, though.

Unique card battler. Unique doesn't mean great though. Dropped in chapter 3.

Gameplay
You fight by playing cards from your deck. Instead of having special cards, you only have basic ones like attack, defend, heal. You trigger special moves by placing your basic cards in a certain order on your card bar. Really interesting system. Makes the fights too predictable though. If you only have 3 different kinds of cards in your deck it's really easy to consistently use the exact same strategy in every fight. Your enemies have special modifiers to make every fight kinda unique. You can still use the same strategy for most of them anyway though. And then there are the few enemies where the same strategy is not just kinda bad but completely impossible.
I guess there is a reason most card battlers use more than 4 cards.

H
Every enemy wants to fuck you. Every enemy also has their own unique scene progression. It's still kinda the same in principle though.
There is also an NTR path for the story parts. Which feels really pointless?

Amazing game. Perfect for monster lovers. Tons of tentacle content. Art is gorgeous. Gameplay does get repetitive but it it's worth it for the art alone. I wouldn't recommend more than one playthrough though. The gallery opens up at the end.

The game was quite good.

Gameplay wise is actually fun, you have 3 types of skills, passive, activeable, and active. The way to trigger either one of them is to build a specific card combination while having the skills equip. Passive is always working, activeable start working once you do the card combination, but it does not consume them, and active do consume the cards in your queue. It was okay, you ca do different build, tank with shields or heal, or do massive damage with combination.

Lewd wise, the art is gorgeous. There are in battle rape, which is actually once of it strong points, since it is well incorporated into gameplay, it feels more like a system build around it rather, than just adding lewd because they had to.

My only problem is that you have to clear it 6 times to get all endings, and not gonna lie. Is fun, but not enough to do all that...

Overall a pretty fun game for playing for maybe 2 endings, more than that is way too repetitive.

Exactly what you want from a battlefuck game - solid gameplay mechanics, a LOT of art, decent animations, minimum writing (you aren't here to read, right?). There is some replayability in form of building different decks, NTR is pretty much "don't read the cutscenes between chapters" type, unavoidable but ignorable.
To sum it up - rarely good game, worth buying even.

It's a short fun game. The voice acting doesn't seem to fit the character well, and the story is kinda lame, most of the time I don't even know why we have to fight. However, because it's short so those don't matter as much, I like the game mechanic of card building, I only use one strategy of stacking as much shield as possible but it does seem like you can be creative and make your own strategy. The battle fuck mechanic is done well, and the animation in battle is good imo.

Reviewed on version v1.1.0.
Colony City 27λ to me is a middle 3/5. Props for it not being overly long.

TL;DR
Colony City has a pretty awful story with bad dialogue and boring-basic characters but has a decent gameplay loop with good battlefuck and H-animations. To me, it’s worth a download for a few sessions, but don’t expect longevity or high replay value.

Story/gameplay rundown
You control Youzi, an investigator in a cyberpunkey world where her generic loser NTR-bait boyfriend Ernest is offworld and her previous boyfriend and generic fat/greasy NTR-conductor Colby is nearby offering help and a place to stay. For NTR ghouls out there (I see you!) it's not engaging and my short description mostly hits the limits.

Gameplay consists of a card-builder semi-roguelike where skills and abilities are activated by card order. H-content is through ripped clothes, then restraints/binds on the main character leading to battlefuck mechanics.

The Good - Animations, H-Content
The artwork and animations are what make this game worth a download and there’s good variety, though content itself is more vanilla than other games when some F95 tastes are considered.

I like the battlefuck stuff and I think the restraining mechanic blocking cards and sex blocking abilities could have been really enticing if not for some of the gameplay loop issues.

Still, overall, the majority of H-content here is a 4/5-to-5/5 standard.

Awkward - Story and Corruption or lack thereof
The story in this is barebones. Nobody on the "streets" you interact with to battle has any meaningful dialogue. I suggest just skipping outright.

You can think for about a minute as to the extent the developer will conduct the story and be mostly right or better.

NTR/Cheating in this game is divisive - I don’t like these tags, but will still play games with them. I think someone who is really into these tags won’t find the substance they’re looking for from Colony City 27. The NTR “victim” Ernest has no convictions at all and has no influence in the story.

The corruption system is mostly disconnected from gameplay, mainly affecting one of six unique endings. The worst of this is getting those endings is tedious - I suggest just playing through once, twice at most, and unlocking the galleries with the F-keys.

Tying it together - Gameplay loop
I like the card system though in some reviews it seems divisive. I thought for my first playthrough it did well to provide fun and H-content scenarios.

The problem is after you learn what is best (usually a combo of overpowered passive skills) you have to dumb down your play to get Youzi into situations where lewd things happen.

Still, you can just crutch yourself - for example, building a shield heavy deck that has light damage will give plenty of time for Youzi to get restrained and battlefucked.

Conclusion
Colony City 27λ is a 3/5 where it feels like some missed potential was left, and I hope that the developer is working on something with a similar concept but more fleshed out – a bulked up sequel with more QC could easily be a great title.

Probably worth your download, don’t expect a lot, but you can get a good few sessions from the game if you interact with it well.

fun combat h game. the story and scenes are nice and the combat puzzle is enjoyable. it is quite a grind tho overtime where it does it repetitive but nevertheless its a solid game. hope to see more from this creator

The two key positive features that carry this game is the art and the fact that it doesnt overstay its welcome by dragging out how long you have to play. Which might sound more like an insult. But considering the rather basic and uninspired gameplay and story, it is a strength. There really isnt any sort of innovation or interesting mechanics here. Instead, almost all aspects of this game can be described as “good enough” and that is that.

Overall, an okay game that is relatively short and easy to get into and get out of.

Gameplay: 7/10
Engaging fights, each is a puzzle, but is generally repetitive. Making the h content part of the gameplay is actually a masterclass by the dev. It has its problems with certain strats being too overpowered or too weak. I think the tutorial sucks, but I learned how it all worked like half-way through. Didn't bother with awful skills and stuff, the starter ones are pretty good and carried the entire game for me.

H Content: 7/10
There's a lot of content, but it's 100% r*pe-vaginal-intercourse with whatever she is fighting, while being restrained. Not even a single fellatio moment, other kinks, etc. LOL. No variety except for endings, very slightly (maybe other endings more, but doubt it). Funny considering it's a NTR game I feel like they usually have a lot of kinks and stuff.

Everything Else: 6/10
Very average, everything else.. UI, design, whatever is very standard. It doesn't feel like usual low quality slop, but it is of course lacking in standing out whatsoever. It could be far worse, comparing it to the typical h game it's somewhat better. It's probably too long of the game for it's strange variety dilemma. Expecting you to complete it 4 times for every ending is wild, I only did one playthrough.

Overall: 7.5/10
Broadly speaking I think it's better than a lot of h games, and worth playing. Excels at a few things, lacking a lot in many other things. Shows the dev(s) have some talent and should improve on it with future projects, Try it out if you like the genres. #1 thing is it's very unique. Haven't seen a game fully commit to battle-sex quite like this, and using it as a mechanic to your advantage.

Cheat engine makes this ''game'' bearable, anything interesting happens in the 6 different endings, which are cut short and have barely a new image to see. Even free this isn't worth your time. Interesting art style and animations, that's about it, I would give it a lower score but its competition is even worse.

Has a very good art, and battle fuck part is done correctly. The corruption system has a part in game mechanic like how much damage you deal and thats pretty cool. The story is pretty funny and a break from the serious NTR nowadays.

good game. a decent amount of h scenes that are animated. The combat can be pretty tactical. I like how you can build your card deck to get additional effects. If you like card games you would probably like this.

Very interesting card-battle game, with battle mechanics I've never seen before.
NO it's NOT "hentai Slay the spire", it has it's own battle mechanic, based on sets of cards placed in a row in right order.
YES, there IS a GALLERY in the game, but it is unlocked once you finish game at least ONCE. (Wish they start BANNING people for fake 1-star reviews).
Art is vary cute, has A LOT of ANIMATED battle sex poses.
Gradual corruption.
Story branching, based on how you defeat story bosses.

Good art and semi-interesting battle-fuck mechanic. The deckbuilding aspect is fairly shallow but good enough to establish player agency and then sometimes take it away. It comes the closest I've seen to a lewd deckbuilder where your deck is meaningfully influenced by the H-content.

The game toes the line of NTR, and does it in the way that annoys me the most. I can take or leave NTR, but I always find myself asking why I should care about the feelings of the guy in the cuck corner. The MC's boyfriend is just a random guy who doesn't participate in the story whatsoever... so when the cheating segments come up and they ask if I want to see it from the boyfriend's perspective, why would I ever say yes? It's just a completely pointless and inconsequential story thread.

Overall it's a cool game. I would have liked to see more deck manipulation from enemies to represent corruption and arousal, and a harder difficulty setting would have made it more fun as well. Deckbuilders are my most-played genre, so the only way I see anything sexy happen is by intentionally losing.

Art is great, and it is probably the only good thing about this title.

The roguelite deck building could have been interesting, and there are some okay ideas here for sure, but balancing and pace is pretty awful. The game turns into a slow grind and you might even run into enemies who are completely immune to your kind of build, poor design.
Imagine Slay the Spire except some enemies just fill your deck with Poison cards that CANNOT be exhausted.

Story and writing is absolutely terrible, there is nothing of substance here.

Overall this is a 2/5 only because the art is really nice.

I love the art direction and the quality of the battle fuck CG. The combat system is great too. Each enemy has a different grab/position and fucking animation.

However there are no path choices, it's all linear despite what the minimap implies at first. There is very little corruption impact, it just unlocks different endings, otherwise no big variation on scenes. The story itself is a bit lacking, it's very simple and more like a very short very dumb visual novel. And there is not a lot of content, it's high quality but there are a a dozen scenes (some more scenes are slight variations of existing scenes). I still rate it 5 stars because it hits all my kinks and the art is top notch, and the gameplay was enjoyable. I really hope the dev creates another game with the same art style or adds more content to this game.

From the screenshots and the description this game seemed to have promise, but it turned out to be a major disappointment.

Non-H gameplay - 5/10
A competent but boring turn-based combat. You could try to squeeze some enjoyment out of it, but it is nowhere near actually good roguelike games.

H gameplay - 2/10
There is no strategy or variety to getting H-content, you either turtle up and wait a long time for the enemy to fuck you, or you lose to see the defeat H-scene with the antagonist. Corruption points seem do absolutely nothing gameplay-wise, affecting only the endings\antagonist progression, you cant actively do anything H-related even if you farm corruption point early on. I heard you DO get to do something active later on, but after 2-3 hours of mindless grinding, I just downloaded a save. And even then, it seem like the only thing you can do is raise the excitement bar a bit faster. Costume durability is just a turn timer before H, no dialog ever changes based on your state of undress. And don't get me started on how excruciating it is to farm corruption points. About 80% of my playtime was spent on waiting for the enemy to finally do something.

Art and animation - 7/10
Quite pleasing to the eye, animations are somewhat janky but still enjoyable. There are a lot of scenes, but most are just human\tentacle\machine vaginal sex in missionary\doggy position.

Preg content - 3/10
Is technically there, but only in some of the endings. Enough said.

H-story - 5/10
Decently sexy at sometimes. Meh at otherwise. Corruption only happens in defeat scenes, so it is barely touched upon. Basically no fetishes besides NTR. Characters are forgettable and generic. At least the voice acting of the FL is not bad.

Overall enjoyment - 5/10
I was quite excited at the start, expecting at least a decent integration of gameplay and H. What I got is a boring game, whose only redeeming quality is the art. You will get 90% of what this game has to offer by just downloading the save and viewing the gallery. Tho at least the attempt was made, which is more than I can say about alot of games out there.

Colony City is set in a crapshoot dystopian world. Our heroine is a low-level interstellar cop sent back to her homeworld on a work assignment; outside of the frame story this cashes out as beating up horny punks, robots and tentacle monsters. When she is defeated, she'll rely on her old pimp/loan shark to come save her - woe to her who becomes too enmeshed with him.

This scratches the same itch as Malise and the Machine, but without a lot of the cruft and with the satisfaction of an actually finished game. The art is solid, and unusually generous - each of the ~20 enemies has its own unique animated CG set.

The game is very well-designed and -balanced, with the caveat that a simple strategy (committing to alternating color strings) solves all the battles of the game. The enemy encounters are insufficiently differentiated compared to what I've come to expect from e.g. Slay The Spire.

I'll buy this on Steam. Give it a try.

System of fighting is interesting, but poorly implemented, would have honestly been better without the sex due to how tacked on it felt. Lots of CGs, not much variety in enemies though. Overall just needs more time at the drawing board.
