Others - Completed - Ero Dungeons [Patch 3.1] [Madodev]

Dropped after a few dungeons and went to play Darkest Dungeon proper.

Gameplay
It's darkest dungeon innit.
The dungeons themself are just rooms no connecting passages. Which is a little weird because you still have to walk to the next room. Nothing happens while you do though.
Your heroes are all girls. There are lots of classes with many of them being cursed ones. You get those cursed classes by equipping cursed equipment or having it forcefully equipped to you or by losing a girl. They don't die, they get abducted instead and you can stage a rescue mission if you want them back.
The classes felt decent enough. I didn't really have a plan most of the time but that might have changed with longer play time.
What I really didn't like was the leveling system. You don't get xp for beating dungeons. Instead every girl has their own quests and only by completing those do they level up.
Intriguing in principle. In practice it means a lot of micro managing and girls that are stuck at low level because you just don't get the chance to fulfill their quests.

H
The only reason to play this over Darkest Dungeon. And I did go back to Darkest Dungeon pretty quickly.
Your girls have lust instead of stress. Some enemies have grapples and can fuck them that way. That was just really rare while I played. Might change on advanced dungeons?

Amazing game first, then good hentai.
Fun gameplay loop, I spent too many hours playing it.
I liked optimising my gear loadout and training different adventurers up.

The art is cute. Lots of mods that expand item choices.
Music is super catchy and the enemies are varied.

-Like the art and well animated
-Do not have great CG or detailed 3D but have lots of content such as battle sex, vore, milking, corruption (and others from mod)
-Can play with one hand
-Lv up your character can be hard and accident can ruin your lv in one go. Your elite can become novice again when event or enemy force switch your class.
-Later when you have enough pony job and cart upgrades you just recruit high lv when needed. If you grind character in this game you must rage quit and the auto save ban you to revert mistake. The in-game time reverse sometimes cant save your ass
-Very weird lvup system, it can change to normal lvup in second game with enough destiny point. But still grinding lv is stupid in this game if you avoid enough battle you can clear elite map with noob team. And you can always retreat even in battle when something goes wrong
- futa mod is so good I got a femboy with cow job. Weird it stills work well and later enemy force equip him to prisoner and they just keep sucking his dick and leave other teammate untouch. Thats why i rate 5 stars because this game system is just complete chaos and fun

Ero Dungeons is a fantastic Darkest-Dungeon-alike. It is not great porn. You should play this game anyway.

Despite (in spite of?) being jam-packed full of fetishes, Ero Dungeons is a game that isn't especially erotic in the usual sense of detailed CGs and low-quality moaning sounds. If anything it feels more comedic and light-hearted than anything.

For instance, there's an outfit that's a condom belt. It automatically puts filled condoms in your inventory to clog it up, and it makes you more powerful the more condoms you have. There's a rubber suit and mask combo that also give you condoms. Put it all together and suddenly you have a strategy that is built around destroying your enemies with THE POWER OF CONDOMS.

It's absurd and perverted and I love it. Highly recommended.

As an aside, there are a LOT of mods out there for when you want even more varieties of loot and fetishes.

After 10 hours of playing, making new guilds twice, it's safe to say the game is too grindy even for the Darkest Dungeon knock-off and has some disgustingly painful systems that can't be avoided through upgrades.

I'm fine with the leveling system despite it being quite annoying because of some requests.

The building upgrade is slightly grindy, but the requirements for some buildings are ridiculously high, forcing you to play for a long time.

The quests are a lifesaver as they reward you with mana, favor, and gold, sometimes even rewarding you with good equipment.

Speaking of equipment. The system is not just terrible, it's egregious. Forcing you to put on equipment without the possibility to identify it in any way, even back at the guild, clearly is a bad design. For example? I bought legendary equipment from a vending machine, and it was a goddess outfit. The next moment I put it back in the guild, it turns out to be a restraining latex suit, completely bricking my character with the request "start combat with no positive quirks". Fuck off. Wasting 5000 gold to get an adept cleric screwed over is foul from the developer.

In the end, I'd rather go and mod Darkest Dungeon to have the same shit as this.

P.S. I forgot to mention status effects. I'll say one thing. Fuck them. Some of them are so retarded, it makes me want to ask the developer the reason of adding requirements to get rid of them. Not only that, some enemies are just not suppose to be in a novice dungeon, such as orcs and crabs (who love to give 12 bleeding for 3 turns).

played about 10hrs worth got bored.

It is a lot of grind. I dislike the entire leveling system based on fulfilling requirements to gain points to unlock the skills.

Interesting concept, slightly poorly executed and grindy for no real reason.

The actual roguelike aspect is neat. Very dangerous if you not paying attention or get really bad rng and lose a character but you can get them back eventually by rescuing them.


Animations and art kinda meh but the cow girl looks nice

There is a lot here, but it all just average.

Debalanced trash-game, you did't have enything if you lose your character, you didn't change difficulty level, just random. The sime type of opponents, minimum HH scene, trash animation, very bad balanced games.

Good game, little porn. One thing I regret not seeing is more distinction between the cursed classes and normal adventurers. So a "dog" or "horse" takes up space in a barracks? Shouldnt they have lesser sleeping quarters? Shouldnt slaves be used for some other tasks? Feels like they could have expounded greatly upon the camp side of gameplay.

I play this game (with mods) for days months ago.

The gameplay was addictive my only regret was to play a long game so i unlock every items and lost interest before hitting the third boss.

No 5 stars because the porn was very weak.

tl;dr: Incredibly solid concept with a few small misses in execution, absolutely worth playing

As many others say the "ero" part is mostly left to "look at those girls dressed up in fetish gear" and small animation loops during combat when you'll probably be too locked-in to care. Its not a deal breaker for me and general fetish aesthetic is satisfying on its own.

Gameplay is by far the main selling point and it's certainly fun and fun for a while. But it's also easy to get fucked over by RNG (while you won't get your characters outright killed it's a major pain in the ass to rescue and fix them up). It's also easy to make absolutely overpowered builds that take away the challenge and interesting strategy from combat (do not minmax alchemists it will ruin you).

One of the things I enjoy the most is the level of polish - plenty of good art, unique OSTs and good narration (although narrator's voice might be an acquired taste).

What I enjoy less is the amount of grind to explore events, upgrade things, get all the more interesting equipment, level characters, and actually complete the game. Ultimately I didn't finish the game, mostly because I spent more time assembling teams with level-up goals that I could complete at once.

In some ways this game feels half-finished. The core premise: Darkest Dungeon, but instead of stress, there's all sorts of hentai corruption. Have your straight-laced party slowly get worn down by aphrodesiacs, cursed equipment, and so on until they're horny messes begging for cock seems like a winning idea. The problem is that it doesn't go far enough: once your adventurers become corrupt, that's it. You can't prostitute them in town or have them fuck enemies or anything. For having a very in depth corruption system, the mechanic is essentially just a reskinned stress mechanic and is purely a downside.

Unless you're really into BDSM and forced clothes changing, there's not much eroticism to this game. There's a few enemies which grab and fuck your party members, an orc that fucks a cleric to heal itself, but the battle fucking is frustrating rather than erotic, since it's hard to resist and takes a party member out of the fight until you rescue them. And that just highlights all the other bizarre mechanics that make this game feel half-finished, like the XP system which is based on completing individual objectives for each adventurer. This means you're keeping track of 12 more tasks in addition to the dungeon crawling. It makes an already grindy game even more tedius, as you're juggling all these different objectives, making sure each party member has something they can get in the current dungeon, while also trying to make a balanced party. It's a mess.

The thing is, I can't say the game is bad, per say. It has excellent modding capabilities, and can provide dozens of hours of playtime. It's just that, for a game calling itself "Ero Dungeons," I found the erotic content very lacking.

Dont believe the 5 star reviews, completely misses out on the ‘Ero’ part, there’s very little erotic content here apart from the occasional 3 second animation during a fight and a couple of art pieces .

an interesting concept but it falls into the trap every game that’s tried to emulate darkest dungeon does by layering on unnecessary complexity and incredibly punishing gameplay and thinking that’s all there is to it.

the actual fight mechanics are vety good but if you’re playing this game just for that I’d be surprised. There’s so many, buffs, debuffs and random effects that it’s incredibly difficult to tel, if you’re even winning a fight half the time

progression is a painfully slow and punishing grind, most mission rewards are random and good luck levelling your characters because that also requires doing random tasks instead of winning fights, you’ll often get setbacksl ike picking up random gear that locks your best characters onto a complete different class

there’s no story, lore and very little worldbuilding, all, the talk about corrupting characters is just the random traits and gear they get. there’s effectively no Ero content, like at all. Occasion one of your fighters will get fucked or bound to a machine, it lasts a couple of seconds, has no sound effects and has no pause button so you can actually enjoy it. That’s literally all there is unless you like looking at cutouts with somewhat interesting outfits while you get your arse kicked.

overall a cool idea executed horribly, why they made this an Ero game is a mystery as they clearly didn’t spend any time actually making Ero content it’s just a randomised dungeon crawler with some bdsm paint on it.

As everyone said.

I completed the game, it took me monthes to do so, but for no particularly good reason. The game's mechanics are nice, but this is way too long, grindy and repetitive. The same game would have been good if way shorter.

Patch 2.1

A procedurally generated dungeon crawling game that in theory, has infinite replayability. You dont often see these types of games on this site. And i would say that the devs made a good amount of effort for that prior statement to be somewhat true. There is plenty of randomness to this game that keeps it fresh. Plus the surprisingly large modding community doesnt hurt its longevity.

There is plenty of fetishes for you to pick and choose from in this game. Plus the slow corruption you can enact on your party members is quite tasteful for me. The main negative for some might be in how its achieved. There is plenty of numbers, info and datapoints to keep in mind and it might be a bit overwhelming at first. This game has quite a steep learning curve compared to other games on this website.

When it comes to the other parts of the game:
The art is ok
The soundtrack is good, but it gets repetitive
Quite erotic, but it requires you to get into a roleplaying state of mind
The gameplay is very well made and complex
I hate the progression system

The main negative to me was the leveling-up system for your party members. If you want to level them up, you need to complete certain tasks for them (Clear a type of dungeon, kill certain monster, etc). This system was fun at first, but the more i played, the more i started to hate it. After a while, i just had to trudge through the late parts of the game because of it.

Was just about to instantly give this game a 5 stars, but... MISS!
1 star is all what this piece of... game will get. Because it's bad in literally every way. Exept for the music... for the first 5 minutes. After the first 5 minutes it's bad in literally every way.

• Cute
• Fun
• Surprisingly engaging gameplay
• Highly moddable
• Corruption that is fun instead of degrading
• The music is pretty good too
• Linux-native

This is a game that keeps drawing me back in even though I've beaten it.

It takes some times to really understand how the mechanics work, but once you do it they're pretty comprehensible.

Advice:

• Upgrade your guild
• Focus on your ponygirls (you can get more in "Ruin"-type dungeons, with an orc-head icon)
• Get some shotguns early (if you abort a dungeon, it rerolls the reward)
• The more gear you make infinite, the more options you have
• Feel free to abort dungeons a lot
• When you unlock a small door in a boss dungeon, it stays unlocked even if you leave.

it is almost good, not bad fights, godly music and dialogue , a lot of items and classes but good parts end here. this game is just a grinding simulator, first you have to build your party so they are somewhat decent and then you have to loot, but looting is very dangerous because it can make you character weak with changing the class and the fights are just repetetive and all the stuff makes it tedious, not to mention it lacks h material

I wish this dev success on their future projects. I respect the effort they've given this. But I must give it a poor rating.

I've probably tried the game for about 10 hours now. Frustrating because it's almost a good game, but is full of weird design choices without the polish to back those choices up.

my biggest gripe is the leveling system. Instead of gaining experience, the game has you do random tasks with the character, like "kill 3 of specific enemy type" or "complete 1 mission in a specific dungeon type".

This makes the pre mission prep ridiculous if you have an ADHD min maxing compulsion. If I want to actually gain experience on all members for a mission, I need to sit and sift through everybody's personal growth goals, a criteria which you can't sort the character list by. Some of the different goals have the same icon so there's no point memorizing icons, it's just mousing over stuff all day to check tooltips. I love complexity in design but this is made excessively tedious by a lack of interface functionality, I often find myself in the "what do I do now" state of a option paralysis between missions.

The above, coupled with the fact that the game is calibrated to be fairly grindy in general. Darkest Dungeon also suffered terribly from the fact that it was "grind to win" and I gave up halfway through every time I tried to play it so I guess this game is just being true to its inspiration.

Graphics, art, sexual content. While there's a cute charm to the art, even as a person with a strong bdsm kink I got little to no stimulation while playing this. It mostly felt degenerate and gross to me, the feeling I get when I've wandered into the skeezy parts of deviantart. There are attempts at integration of kink content and gameplay but this felt more like the fetish was for dungeon crawling than for anything else.

Soundtrack - the soundtrack here is doing a unique thing. I have a ton of respect for the artistic risk-taking rather than slapping some generic music down and calling it a day, that takes integrity. But..... and it aint the biggest of buts.... the pace of the music doesn't really fit the pace of my thoughts while playing the game. This is a game where you need to be focused on fine mechanics, since they're all so complicated, meanwhile the music is screaming GO GO GO. I had to turn it off.

Maybe mods make this game better idk. My experience with the game was so bad I didn't care to look.

This is an excellent kinky dungeon crawler. I recommend pulling down a bunch of the mods that are of interest and giving it a try. It has proper RPG elements such as party creation, discovering new loot, battling a variety of enemies, cursed items and classes, quality music, and lots of well thought out sexy penalties.

Since it auto-saves everything, it gives every action a sense of danger which means every choice is permanent and more exciting.

Would say this game is hard and it is hard, If not for the fact player can edit in-game value through build-in mod that mostly can be janky

Most equipment player get is either cursed or just not well explained and with stack of them all un-cursed, you'll ended up with cluttered inventory at best.

Actually that sum up the game too well, it's cluttered. Either from the mechanic, quest system, lore, and even UI.

Just don't be too attached to your first save file, play it and get the achievement and when it start to feel overwhelming while going nowhere; start a new file and get the boon for the next run
