Review for v0.3.9H3
Not only is this just a fun RPGM game, it has what I think is one of the most important aspects of a good lewd game in general: character. There's a couple RPGM games now where you play as a thick monster girl, but even outside of those this has stood out as a pretty unique experience compared to all the other RPGM games I've checked out.
It really feels like a passion project to put it in better words. I have something positive to say about pretty much every aspect, the first being the art. It's what really adds life to the game. There's a lot of hot character busts, hot sex scenes, and even just a lot of good and unique assets used with the world and sprites. A lot of the scenes being animated is great too, and even even having a little bust of the protagonist (that changes with different forms) is a nice bonus detail.
I always hate having to be defeated to see sex scenes. Embracing being a whole sex demon though, it's almost like a QOL feel that the tables are flipped and you can choose to see sex scenes (or skip them) by winning. Having all the abilities actually feel unique and based of your character again being a sex demon just gives combat a bit of a fresh spin, even if it functionally plays similar to other RPGM games. There's a pretty large variety of skills you learn and equipment to use. Further diversified with "cores" that also swap around skills among other things later in the game. Then there's the aspect of transformations that also give you different bonuses among other changes. Not that I've really found the need to strategize and swap things around, but it's still rather deep compared to other RPGM games. I'll say if you aren't a fan of combat it is pretty easy to start steamrolling.
While I wouldn't call the writing and story as complex as some of the heavy RPGM games perhaps (it's more of a minimalistic approach), it's still serving its purpose and following a theme. I'm not sure what the exact word for it would be, but there's a nice blend of humor along with unexpectedly dark themes kind of just there to digest. I like the protagonist, I like a lot of the characters, and I like the direction the plot has been moving so far. There's not a ton of side content to do, but enough to reward that desire to explore. A fair amount of little bonus things like hidden pictures and scenes to find. Honestly there's a lot of little details about the game to praise.
I think my sole complaint about this game so far is that while there's a good variety of sex scenes, there's also a lot of reused/reskinned ones that I found a bit disappointing. Getting to the goblin village for example, there's a blowjob scene with a goblin that's exactly the same as the human one but with green skin. There's multiple cases of this. In a lewd game where sex is a rather large aspect, It's more of a let down to run into repeat scenes like that. Though I also understand art is very time consuming and perhaps some of these are placeholders, but the point stands.
There's a few QOL features like keeping equipment equipped (and not completely vanished) when switching forms I'd like to have as well, but the game is such a banger overall that I feel the five star rating still fits. Really just eager for more of it at the end of the day. Easy recommend if it caught your eye.
