Others - Completed - Dungeon of Erotic Master [v1.0] [rusimarudou]

Really good game, I love how the dev integrated the h scenes into the battles by changing the portrait to an animation.
Speaking of those, they are really really good too, I have rarely seen animations of this quality on the games on this forum.
The gameplay is very grindy, not that I mind much, and I had a bit of difficulty at the start orienting myself in the dungeon rooms, even if after a while I started moving without too much thought. If you like dungeon crawlers and have a porn addiction, absolutely try this game lol

A fun and smooth Dungeon-Crawler game that draws you in with the sexy animations and keeps you cumming back for more with the quests on each floor!
Version 1.0

Rating: 9/10

The Good:

• The game does a good job of keeping the combat fun with each encounter different enough to not bore the player. The enemies are diverse enough with different art to keep you interested and entertained. The animations in the game are smooth and enjoyable with a sexy set of heroines to go with it which really brings the game together.
• The story and english translation are well done, only a couple vocab or mispellings that I noticed. Time seems to fly by when your in the maze, I found myself playing the game more and less for fapping which I normally don't see in an erotic dungeon crawler. The implimentation of traps in the dungeon was a nice addition and are well placed. The maze never repeats itself so each floor feels different enough to not recognize the maze layout. My playthrough took about 20+ hours to complete.
• Heroines chosen for this game are fantastic. One a bit more muscular and athletic than the others, one that is a bit more petite and draws in appeal, and a blonde that gets caught up in the thick of things. The character design choices are great.
• The game isn't very grindy which was nice to see that I didn't need to grind out levels to progress in the story. The art style is very appealing and clean. The sex scenes are drawn incredibly well, lots of talented artist/animators and I highly recommend this game!

The Bad:

• It's censored as with most eroge games out of Japan. (However its the most appealing censored content I have seen which 90% of the time I pass on games that are censored).
• The game could use a bit more direction, I didn't get the Blacksmith until after like floor 8+. Which I just decided to go visit revisit her to figure out why she still wasn't in the blacksmith and managed to finally get her. The rest is fairly clear but I would have liked a little bit of repeating the information. You could spend upwards of 1 to 2 hours before completing a "quest" and if you leave the game and come back to it a couple days later you can be a bit confused as to what your objective at hand is. Also, I completed the game without getting the spell that I'm assussing is the "frost resistance buff for party" magic spell(I had both lightning and fire). Which would have been nice to have in some places.
• It would be cool to have some lesbian interactions in the game, also having interactions with NPC's would have been a nice touch. Several places where I felt there was a bit drought of sexual content.
• Spoiler: Spell Balancing Issues

• The dungeon artwork never really changes, so the walls and such all stay the same which is kind of repetitive to see for a couple hours. There are times in the game where text portrays changes in the environment that are never translated into the visuals of the game. Also, it would be nice to have a bit more music variety while in the maze, although every song used is fantastic.

Other Thoughts:

• Things I wish I knew during the playthrough was that the Dragon Meat cannot be used in combat, only out of combat. (I found out on the last boss fight when both my casters were nearly out of MP) Also the translation for provoke was a bit unclear for me so I found myself using it very rarely only when I out leveled the monster and had a high chance of critting.
• A higher resolution for this game would have been great, I enjoyed it much more being able to get it to almost fullscreen with Magpie.

The game is amazing, a little grindy but still fun. Took me a bit to figure out some of the missions but still put plenty of time into and still come back for more. The animations are amazing, even thought there are a lot of them I wish there were more.

addictive game.

the resolution is very small... animations are surprisingly very clean and high level. way more than you would expect a game like that. H-scenes are hard to come by unless you wanna lose but there are many many animations of enemies raping your heroines. but there isn't really a debuff for it, unless all of you are raped at the same time then you "lose" but then again, you don't lose much anyway. (you lose unidentified items you collected so far without returning to city, but if you lose by getting raped you don't even lose it, you survive with 1hp)

honestly this doesn't feel like a 5/5 game but everything is so smooth i dont really know what's bad in it. i guess i dont really like the porn parts cuz it's not really fappable imo. even though this is the best animation ive seen ever in any porn game.

so i guess it deserves a 5/5 even though i never give porn games 5/5 if they are unfappable but o well.

it's a turn based dungeon crawler/explorer. you have a tank-healer, a mage, a berserker. different strengths. need a bit of a grind too but for some reason i never felt bored. but if you plan to have quick fap... well this might not be it unless you wanna perma abuse your heroines and change in options for H-scenes to be on loop instead of playing once per turn.

What I like most about the game are the snappy animations. They are so well done that I didn't mind the censorship too much. The characters are all cute and have personality.

The game itself is a stereotypical dungeon crawler, think "Bards Tale" with porn. Story is interesting enough, even though nothing groundbreaking.

I substract points for the tedious equipment management and the grindy nature of the game, I don't mind the grind but others might.

The dungeon exploring and fighting is interesting, the porn scenes are juicy, this should have been a 5 star rating, but HOLY SHIT the devs have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what a difficulty curve is.

First, digging around every dungeon floor, looking at every post in this thread, you cannot find out how and where to find the goddamn blacksmith, so I had to go on through the entire game without finding her.

Second, the difficulty curve - the first boss, the frost queen is absurd - you literally have to buy as many potions as you have money just to survive her, you will never ever need potions again since your party members can cast healing spells.

Third, again, the difficulty curve - the devs put LATE GAME ENEMY DRAGONS in the middle of the goddamn dungeon. So you physically can't fight against them, you gotta avoid them and race to the exit to the next goddamn dungeon where the monsters are balanced, and when you ask the NPSs "yo, what the fuck is going on in the middle of the dungeon" and they are like "oh well you see before the dragons were peaceful but now they got corrupted and angry and they are rampaging on these floors" gee thanks, 10/10 lore. After you beat the boss at the last dungeon floor only then can you actually go back and fight these goddamn dragons.

Fourth, late game balancing, to beat the true final boss you gotta grind thunder dragons TO LEVEL 100. THIS IS FUCKING ABSURD. WHEN YOU START GRINDING YOUR ARE ROUGHLY LEVEL 40, YOU GOTTA GRIND 60 LEVELS JUST TO BE ABLE TO DEFEAT THE TRUE FINAL BOSS! WHO THE FUCK DESIGNED AND TESTED THIS???

This game is unique and very fun. It has cool combat mechanics that make it fun to play, not just looking for sex scenes. I wish there were more titles with a little more polishing and funding. Very good.

This game is a master piece. Sure it's a bit dated, and censored, but it's really fun to play. Even the Post Game content is nice to go to after you've completed the main quest. So you will keep coming back for more until you beaten everything. It's a real gem in the rough of a lot of shity games and I'm really glad I was able to find this, play it, add it to my collection, and still love it to this day. I hope a sequal comes out or an uncensored patch.

This game looks average at first, but the more I play it the more I like it.

- Fetishes: rape, beastiality, cum inside.

- Animations: Awesome. About 20 anims for each character, above average quality.

- Gameplay: Great. Very grindy, but not a problem because the H-part triggers regularly during the grind and is so varied. Make sure to set the game difficulty to "easy", the game is challenging enough with that, and hard is just punishing without reason.

- Scenario: not very interesting, but puts you in the mood.

This is easily one of my fav adult games. SO happy to find it english, now I can actually understand it. Plus this seems to be a newer version than the one I had previously. Game seems to be a little difficult, but I don't mind. However that might have just been because I didn't understand any of the text on the screen when I was using the Japanese version, Good thing this one is in English.

Pleasing animations with a decent amount of variation... I haven't finished the game yet not sure about endings but content is good enough for a few faps at least.

I will update this review once I finish it.

Stability: No bugs or crashes here.

Accessibility: Since it was originally in Japanese, some may need to run it in applocale or something like that. I didn't, though. But keep it in mind if you have any trouble running it.

Gameplay: Very grindy, at times to the point of being tedius. But solid for what it is. The skills also felt a bit bland. No way to give enemies status effects other than a minor attack debuff, and that only works on some. The mage's spells are just iterations of the basic three: single-target fire damage, multi-target ice damage, and single-target lightning. Which makes it annoying when you're against a bunch of enemies that aren't particularly vulnerable to ice. There needs to be a way to NOT run into enemies constantly once the floor you're on is sufficiently below your party's level- because trust me, you'll do plenty of backtracking. Which is another thing- it's not always clear what you're supposed to do or where you should go.

Aesthetics: Interesting monsters designs, and sexy/cute protagonists. Not a particularly unique style or anything, but good for what it is. The music is decent but gets very repetitive after a while. At least the end boss has a cool theme.

Content (General): Honestly, this will keep you occupied for quite a while. It's challenging and has a lot more than I anticipated. I didn't track exactly how much time it took me, but I know it was at *least* a dozen hours all total.

Content (XXX): Some great animations, and quite a lot of them! This category is both the game's strong suit, and yet also a source of disappointment. The disappointment comes from three factors:
1. the sex scenes are limited to your smallish character portraits area, causing part of it to be cut off at all times. Granted, it pans around at times to show more of the action, but it's still aggravating.
2. While there are many different animations (roughly 30-40 for each character, not counting very similar ones, plus a few threesomes), they're done in an odd style so that they're reused for similar but not identical enemies, using a somewhat generic-looking monotone-color figure. Which is kind of a bummer, but tolerable. Tangentially, there are a fair number of enemies with no apparent sex scenes, even though some of them seem like they easily could have some.
3. The gallery doesn't let you see the whole, full-sized animations in the viewscreen instead of the portrait zone, as I'd hoped. Which is a shame.

Overall: Very time consuming and at times frustratingly monotonous, but nonetheless it'll keep you hooked, if only out of stubbornness. I had the opportunity to just grab someone else's save and see the animations, but decided to beat it on my own instead- unknowingly on hard mode, at that. So obviously there's something approximating fun to be had in the gameplay, even if it's not what I'd call "thrilling". Despite its flaws, it's very worth trying, IMO. I could easily give this another star if they fixed any one of the flaws I mentioned.

Currently up to floor ten so ill give my impressions of this so far. So far I would say the games good, Story is fairly decent, art is quite well done and probably my favorite part of the game, a nice amount of variation for each character and enough variety to keep it interesting.

The grinding is quite fair for these sorts of games and only really became a problem imo when you had to begin backtracking through floors, Its not a big problem and for most people they won't mind, but I felt it slowed the pace having to go back to lower floors and find characters to talk to, really halted the progression a bit. up until the backtracking the grinding was good, I was levelling up enough just by exploring floors, barely having to spent minutes circling areas looking for exp, so the growth felt natural and well paced. so in regards to grinding, fairly good for levelling game standards although the backtracking did leave me a little tired.

Probably the biggest con I have with the game is the map, I played in fullscreen through task managers maximise and the minimap in dungeons felt rather small, meaning I was constantly running into dead ends and banging against walls, constantly having to hit esc to bring up the larger map to work out where I was going. While its not a major issue, it did add to my annoyance when backtracking, being forced to pull up the map every few seconds until you had to try memorising each floors.

overall despite the little pet peeves, the art is good and diverse enough to keep you enterained, the provoke feature being a personal favorite. I'll give it a 4/5. I highly recommend trying it.

I haven't finished the game yet but it is quite a long game and I think I've played enough to have a general sense of its quality.

For starters the game play is pretty good and it's in the style of an old 90s dungeon crawler, the kind where the idea is to navigate a number of maze-like levels until you reach the end. All the while you run into chance battles that you can beat for money, loot and most importantly XP.

While the game does expect some amount of grinding so that you won't be underpowered as you reach the lower levels of the dungeon, I found that I get plenty of experience just exploring the levels normally and thankfully this game doesn't have the Final Fantasy syndrome of a battle every 5 steps. It's more like a fight every fifteen steps, plus you can simply run away from the weak monsters to save time. There's no permadeath in this game. What happens is that you lose the loot that you haven't appraised yet, and start back in town.

If it was just running around in mazes and fighting it might have been a bit dry but the game spices things up with a few puzzles and a smattering of story. Nothing that will wrack your brain or win writing awards, but enough to make this game a decent RPG. There are NPCs in the dungeon who have quests for you and offer you clues on how to beat the various bosses. The dialogue is well-translated as well barring a few mistakes like 'cobalt' instead of 'kobold'. The tone of the story is also more humorous than edgy, which personally I prefer over some of the darker games out there.

And since this is a eroge of course it needs to have porn and IMO it delivers well in this area. This game was made by the same devs behind Goblin Walker, and the two games share a similar style of porn, where instead of using a VN style representation, the sex are these little animations of the characters. There is a good variety of sex animations for all three characters, and when you seduce an enemy with more than one character (you start with either Doneria or Marianne then 'finish' with Lilinera), your characters will double-team the target. Your party can lose a battle sexually if monsters have sex with all three party members in a single turn, but this then dumps your party somewhere nearby with 1 HP and all your loot, so it's a less harsh penalty than dying. Winning a sex battle gives you more money but reduced XP, and some creatures award a lot more money than others so...

The animations are also very short which is a plus in this case because you'll be seeing them very often so think of them as part of the combat system.

Also if you have played Goblin Walker you'll recognise the three main characters. I believe that DEM is a prequel of sorts to GW.

Art is awesome.
Animation is a bit small but if tweaked it will be good.
Gameplay is repetitive, not much variation of enemies.
Menu are somewhat trash, it's hard navigating through the entire game.
Story is simple, not too convoluted.

If you like the art and animation, go for it but if you can't handle grinding and such then this game is not for you.

Good ideas with promising execution. The battle system in general is intuitive, but the fights are kinda repetetive. Animations and art are nice while a little bit too small displayed, but the censorship is annoying. Played it for about 2-3 hours... and it felt a little bit too grindy.
