Yeah, I know. If I wanted some good gameplay, I should look for it in traditional non sex games. I get it. Mostly just curious if any of you guys knew any after suddenly reminiscing of nutaku games (not that i'd ever go back to nutaku lol).
-I'm looking for some games with good and different gameplay, or games with gameplay that are really good, after getting tired of vn type gameplay where you just click on dialogue choices and sandboxes that make you click on x action or object to increase x stat.
-It can have normal vn and sandbox elements too as long as there are other types of gameplay
-I'd like to have the gameplay not just be a one off portion like the mini games in Being a dik but rather it be there as an option in case I want to revisit it.
For example: Knightly passion's card game like combat, and love of magic's cardgame, spell combat gameplay.
-I only play male protag games, because I personally find it hard to immerse myself in other gendered protag games.
-I'd prefer games that don't only have sex cgs for ONLY when you lose to enemies like in some side scrolling games, but I don't really care if the gameplay mechanic ties into whether you can or cannot get the sex cg, it could be separate.
-No complete the picture or match 3 games or poker card games, cuz they are usually done very badly, feeling so out of place with the game or dont feel all that related to you getting sex cgs or the plot. Like for example the image puzzle is jumbled and are segmented blocks of a naked woman which upon solving, just lets you see the image again in a menu on the main page. Let me know if you can think of exceptions.
-I'll probably search the recommendation threads to see what other games ppl mentioned, but I thought I'd ask to get the ones people can think of right away a play.

I got you fam.

  1. Venus Blood Frontier - Strategy game. My favorite gameplay eroge. Very high learning curve which might put off some people. Too much tentacles for my liking. Great corruption arcs though. Good characters and quite satisfying Demon Lord rising story.
  2. Pronant Symphony - Fantastic dungeon crawler. Great combat mechanics and crafting system. Great story and lovable characters. It has some philosophical undertones that could make you think and feel.
  3. Dungeon of Lulu Farea - Great puzzle type dungeon crawler with an Enchanted Cave gameplay. You don't go into a combat screen but just bump into enemies to exchange blows. It's about picking up stat ups and tackling enemies in a certain order to optimize the run. Pretty endearing characters and light hearted story. There is a sequel that is just as good.
  4. Evening Starter - Dungeon crawler in Eye of the Beholder stype with a very balanced combat system. Some cool mechanics and character building.
  5. Ikusa Megami Zero - More standard jRPG type of gameplay mixed with VN. Not the most balanced, but fun in it's own right. The plot is amazingly epic. It's quite a tragedy, but there are so many different emotions at play. Pretty thought provoking and powerful.
  6. Big Bang Age - Strategy gameplay. Hmm... it's rather unforgiving in terms of time constraints, but it's still fun. Mostly a light hearted harem with an honorable Chad protagonist. It's not all just fun and games. There are some heavier themes and thought provoking moments. A lot of characters to interact with, but not enough time in one playthrough. I'll just add Sengoku Rance by the same developer here. I didn't play that one, but plan to someday. Everyone swears by it.
None of these games, save for Venus Blood Frontier is really focused on the porn aspect. Maybe that is why I loved VBF the most. They are all really fun to play, but I just felt like as VBF was a PORN game with amazing gameplay, while the others were great games with some splash of porn.

There are not too many great examples from the west, at least nothing that is far along in development. Love of Magic has an awesome combat system, but you've played it. There are some open world RPGM stuff. Roundscape is something I played that seemed decent in terms of gameplay, but I actually just cheated when playing it so I can't really tell you about it. The Last Sovereign is amazing. The writing is great as everyone will tell you. I think it has an underrated gameplay system which doesn't really revolutionize anything, but is very compelling due to how well balanced it is. Oh yea, I almost forgot about Damsels and Dungeons by Amaraine. It's super fun.
