Others - Completed - Ero Dungeons [Patch 2.1] [Madodev]

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 you get is either cursed or just not well explained and if you have stack of them and 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

The game is unique, and basically does not have ONE OF the best voice overs and music in the gaming industry, cause, this game has the best voice overs and music in the gaming industry. Hands down, with exception of GTA san andreas, no other game can ever come close to the sounds in this game. So give this game a shot, you will love it. The game is mainly just kinky, there ain't much H-scenes.

For a game meant to be erotic I spent hours TRYING to enjoy this game to no avail.
The only thing that got hard playing this game was maintaining the will to continue.
Basically no instruction, no point to keep anything as character will get cursed eventually and uncursing is a bigger chore than watching grapes ferment.
Every goal is too random, tedious and boring.
Only reason I gave it a star higher than 1 is I feel maybe it can be chalked down to it just not being my cup of tea, with how many giving this thing a 4-5 rating.

I had to clear away a mountain of salt and tears in order to reach the button to give this game five stars. It is an excellent quality game with a focus on gameplay. My frustration comes from how easily your best adventurers become "cursed" and how difficult it is to remove their cursed class in the early game. For a long time you're better off just scrapping them and hiring a new adventurer, which kills any incentive to invest in them until you are many hours into the game. I'm just going to chalk that up to skill issues and move on though

Plethora of content, both H and otherwise. It's as mechanically dense, if not more, than Darkest Dungeon (which it takes heavy inspiration from). This is like, straight up a real, full game. It has everything from a full soundtrack, voice work for most menus, 100s of items, dozens of enemies and over a dozen unique classes. It even has a new game plus system, despite the fact that a full playthrough can easily be dozens of hours of long

I think there's less sex in this than most H-games, aside from when one of your girls is molested or bound to a machine during one of the endless combats, but it's undeniably erotic and more to the point, the gameplay is actually surprisingly good (I mean it is basically a sexy re-skin of Darkest Dungeons), which I must admit kept me playing for a long time. There is quite a steep learning curve, but don't worry if you spring cursed items or a girl gets captured - learn to lean into it and just recruit some more.

Finally cleared the darn thing. 5/5 did nut would nut again, and again.
Play time: days.

A Darkest Dungeon parody but you get fucked literally instead of figuratively...maybe a little figuratively. Become a "benevolent" guild boss who really likes affirmative action and employs exclusively women. Except the priest because the church had to send us a man. but we can fix that. Just be sure everyone signed the liability waivers and understand the occupational hazards (they don't).

Easy to follow gameplay loop. Manage base, employees, upgrade facilities, organize a team, delve into dungeons, beat up the horny baddies, loot, repeat. If you lose some adventurers along the way, just replace them or rescue them after they've been corrupted a little. You could always use some more cattle for the farm after all.

It's a very long game. Expect something on par with a full length game taking upwards of days to complete. Not a quick meat beat session by any stretch of the imagination and I found myself playing the game at times just to play the fun game. The best etch games are the ones that don't sacrifice gameplay quality while making the H content part of its core gameplay loop. EZ 5/5.

While Madodev's Ero Witches was an exercise in how not to do a corruption game, Ero Dungeon ticks all the right boxes.

You start with a pair of girls who visit your guild, hoping to find employment, with a request dropping into your inbox for one of said girls to end up getting trained as a Maid, with the commissioner paying you handsomely, heavily implying that the Guild's 'employment' options are nothing to do with adventuring.

Over the course of a typical playthrough, similar to Darkest Dungeon, it's inspiration, you'll find more and more of your adventurers taking on new classes, and not the kind that heroes take on, as your Guild's staff reveal their true callings.

Once you complete a session with a Guild, you unlock Destiny Points, which allow you to tweak your experience, making it easier or harder, and being able to move quicker into the real purpose of your guilds.

The amount of variation in the outfits, and ways in which your adventurers can be corrupted, is vast, and you'll not play the same dungeon twice, with there being plenty of ways in which the fates of the hapless girls that come for adventure can be twisted.

If you want to play it where your Guild has a very noticeable parasite infestation, with several of your adventurers pregnant with the next brood, you can do. If you want to have your adventurers be prepared for the slave markets, go ahead. There's nothing stopping you.

V1.0 Demo version review
Oh boi, i play this game expect to be full of monster and sex, but nah, it full of miserable and loss. Game is so grindy, you cant focus on main team you has, took times to gets everything including leveling up, leveling up is an eternal job, also special quest like lend an elite slave, good job leveling them up and the reward is just 10 favor while you need a bunch of them for upgrades and for chruch services. Bitches who talk to you with voice is supper annoying, im keeping my bitches alive here, trying to survive and finally killed 1 of 4 enemy and she just say "dont get cocky now", bitch youre annoying as fuck, you kept yapping all the time, go fuck yourself. all and all this game shouldve called torture dungeons rather than ero dungeons .

Pros :
+ Build up your slave guild with rpg style game.
+ Unique gameplay.

Cons :
- Annoying bitch kept talking for anything you do.
- Dungeon was super hard, despite going to easy dungeon you got to fight an enemy who has complete set of move and got full team, its clearly not easy as my team is dying despite has 1 elite clerk to help heal the team.
- Every day your team gets hit by negative boon and you can pick other slave or skip a day to let them cool of or use other team.
- You cant focus on 1 main team.
- Hard to manage your slaves, it was nightmare
- all quest is on hard difficulty.
- Super grindy.
- You cant get away from adventure without negative boon ever also hard to get rid of.
- Little to no sex.
- Lack of pregnancy feature, pregnancy is for money or bother your fight or your baby will instead assist enemy.
- battle is a nightmare as its not balanced, ex; 2 little health of slime merge into big full health slime instead of little health of big slime.
- your first play will always end up get fucked even 2nd you will since many is unknown and there's little to no tutorial.

Tl;Dr
Game itself is good if youre into slave management rpg adventure game, dont mind super grindy and how hard the game is and require to new game often.

and dont mind the annoying bitch who kept talking.

Better than, not only most RPG games, the previous title. Knowing this is a demo I will buy the game to support the developer y'all should too. F95 being what it is, probably won't happen much, but this game is more than 10x more fun and well thought out than Rempy shit games on this site.

Full disclosure: I was a patron for this game for awhile, so I've followed it through a lot of it's development.

Did you like the idea of MadoDevs previous game, but you weren't really comfortable seeing Madoka characters get sexually tortured? Are you more about bondage and sexy outfits than you are about sex? Did you play Darkest Dungeons (and even Lewdest Dungeons) and think "This could use more sexualized anime girls? If so, you've found your game.

Ero Dungeons is a game in the vein of Darkest Dungeons (Ed: I have not played Darkest Dungeons) where you are a guildmaster, hiring and directing girls to explore dungeons, largely because making girls explore dungeons is kinda fun. These dungeons can vary in theming and fetishes, and generally also involve getting equipped with cursed item sets and parasites. (If you played Ero Witches and haven't figured out MadoDev loves cursed items and parasites, uh, they do. A lot. And they write it well!) On the flip side, you also receive levels and gear for winning fights, clearing dungeons, and completing challenges, allowing you to arm your girls to take on bigger challenges. All the while, you're collecting resources to expand your base of operations and unlock upgrades for the entire team.

The gameplay is more or less simple turn-based combat, with turn order decided by agility and able to be manipulated through certain abilities. The overworld map also contains Curios, events that can have wonderful or terrible effects for your team of girls. At the onset, it seems pretty clear you want to avoid cursed items and collect rare items, but the further you go into gameplay, the more you realize that cursed items and classes can have tremendous benefit if utilized well, both in combat and working jobs around the base.

This is one of Ero Dungeons hallmarks; it's a fullfledged game, mechanically, and very quickly turns up the difficulty once you're familiar with the gameplay loop. Your girls can be kidnapped if they take enough damage in battle, and it's very much expected for this to happen. Kidnapped girls can be rescued, but the mission starts out extremely hard; as time goes on, it gets easier, but the more cursed items will be placed on your girl, forcing her into a corrupted class. This can lead to frustration from bad runs, as a girl who you poured a lot of time and effort into can be swept away, and by the time she's rescued she's been forced into a very difficult to change cursed class. The game does give you an option to make this easier, but it comes fairly late in your base development and relies on more difficult to obtain currency than most other systems. As you go into higher and higher dungeons, the game forces you to be more clever with your use of abilties in both combat and the field, with the boss battles being just as much a puzzle as they are a fight.

The ero content here is largely nonsexual. Many enemies have both physical and sexual attacks; while arousal doesn't damage your character it can very easily handicap them enough for the physical attacks to bring them down. On top of that, it feeds into crests that debuff the girls against certain enemies and mechanics. The physical attakcs, in addition to damaging your girls, can also damage their clothing, and enemies will gleefully leap on any unfilled equipment slots with their own cursed equipment. While there is some penetrative sex, these debuffs and cursed gear are the driving force of the ero side of the game.

Between the difficulty of the game and the specific focus of fetishes here, Ero Dungeons is certainly not for everyone. If you're looking to see girls get pinned down and raped in various ways, you're better off finding another game to play. The sprites, even, don't lend themselves well to sexual fantasizing. All of this means that Ero Dungeons leans on the writing and implications of gameplay more than it does open sexual content, and for what it's worth, both of these are masterfully executed. It appeals to a very certain niche, and the design certainly isn't perfect, but if you're like me and like binding and bad status games, this is a pretty fun game to spend time with. If you like it enough to really spend some time with it, there's even a robust modding community!

Finally, in a purely selfish move, I have to knock ~half a star off for the soundtrack. I do not like the music here, it doesn't really feel like it matches the game, and it's one of those soundtracks that just kind of grates after awhile of listening to it. I'll take another half star off just for how sadistic it can be at times (and because I can't do partial stars), but consider my review a very low four star.
