Unity - Guild of Spicy Adventures [v63.4] [Hikkeiru]

By far my favorite for now. The story is so much fun, the characters are amazing, And is actualy a game, depending on your choice you can actualy go for some really different scenes, which is amazing.

A great VN with an engaging story and overall a ton of potential once reaching it's full release. The only reason it simmers it down for me at the moment to a 4* rating is the sheer fact that i got immersed too much and felt bad after i hit a story "roadblock". (v0.59 played at time of review; roadblock meaning reaching the end of story content in said version)

This game has become one my favorites mainly because of how lighthearted and funny the story and characters are, the girls are very cute and the development is relatively quick ... I think more work could be put into the animations but that's not necessary right now...
The Dev is very nice and helpful, best of luck to the project.

events are happening out of order, basic things like the gallery are locked behind a paywall which is quite unusual,not very obvious what ya should or shouldn't be doing at any given time , sometimes dialogue tells ya which things end an interaction and sometimes it doesnt it should be one or the other not switching up randomly which it'll be, and while the designs look nice the personalities of most of the characters are a bit iffy at best overall story,setting,characters, and the coding determining order of events as well as basic features being behind a paywall and the lack of an idea what ya should do as only some things are told as objectives while others just happen to be around at random times are all problems that would need to be fixed before id consider anything above 1 star

This game? Oh man, it's just stupidly fun in the best way possible. Seriously, it's like they took every ounce of seriousness and tossed it out the window. But you know what? That's what makes it so dang charming! It's all just one big, silly ride from start to finish. In a world where everything feels a bit too serious, this game is like a breath of fresh air. Trust me, you're gonna love it.

I gotta say, some of the choices in this game? They really pack a punch. Like, you make one wrong move and bam, you're locked out of like, a whole bunch of juicy stuff—like, we're talking a solid chunk of story and some seriously cool renders. And you know what? That's exactly what I love about it. It's a game, not just some boring old book where the story's set in stone. Choices actually matter here, and that's what keeps me coming back for more.

very character, every scene, it's all bursting with personality and color. If you're a fan of that cartoony, anime-inspired aesthetic, this game will definitely catch your eye.

[Ver. 0.62]

To start, it's important to know that this game is that almost every character starts with or eventually has some forced and contrived conflict with the MC for no other reason than because he exists. I'm cool with games making it so girls don't just literally fall in to your lap, but early on in this game, almost every character goes out of their way to make your life hell. It even got to the point where a comedic skit was ruined for me, personally, because of all of the compiled drama.

If you're able to get past this rough early stages of the game, however, you'll find something I personally feel is pretty special. I'll start by saying updates are monthly, unlike most games where it could take 2-6 months. In version .62, combat is added. Doesn't sound like much, and it isn't at the moment, just a proof of concept, but this isn't your standard RPGMaker turn based affair. It's an autoclicker style realtime combat, and the developer says other characters can be used as companions, which opens the door to what this game can truly be.

Beyond that, there's a deep focus on relationships here, with each character's (clearly very deep seated) personal issues on full display. Feels pretty good when there's a breakthrough with a character who wanted nothing more than to see you suffer a couple of days before. There's a lot of details in how characters act, which make one-on-one scenes feel much more personal. Add on top of this stellar humor, and you have a fun story to follow.

Character models are fantastic. It's clear a lot of work was put in to them. There are plenty of high quality renders in the game that make it feel way more animated, as well as actual animations for more than just H-scenes.

I also like the MC. His personality is pretty funny, and the fact of the matter is, this is an Isekai and the developer had enough restraint to not instantly turn him in to self insert god man with cheats that never runs in to any conflict because of how uber cool and awesome he is. For the most part he is just a normal dude trying to get by and lets his intrusive thoughts get the best of him a little too often. He also has a dopey-ass face, which is always funny when shown on screen.

This game is like a crab, it initially has a hard shell (compiled contrived drama), but if you're able to break though, you'll find it's meat is rather sweet (one-on-one character moments), even if a piece of the shell gets stuck in your throat every once in a while.

The main thing about this game:

The developer seems to be building characters starting from conflict, so if you are a bit unsure about losing, then it might not be for you.

It's counterintuitive compared to usual porn games that protect the MC's mentality from everything. Although I don't mind it, since it makes me want to win characters over more.

The story is quite fun, although sometimes it feels like the game overdoes the joke, while others land fine.

I'm not sure where the game is going yet; it has a few open topics. In general, it builds up on characters' quirks. For example, Kanae's control and authority-related problems.

Some of the choices literally block you out of even 10+ renders or minutes of story, which is always a plus when choices matter.

The engine seems to be a bit excessive, but we will see how far the project can take it. It shows mostly right now in animations.

A big minus is that there is only fishing gameplay and the items don't have much use currently.

I'm giving it a 5-star rating because I want to see what this game will have to offer, but I may lower it if it loses the spark.

For now, this is an impressive foundation.

An isekai story, poorly written with a massive amount of spelling errors in almost every line. The characters are annoying and their "quirks" are not endearing at all, and often the exact opposite of that, to the point that I honestly would rather get them killed then help them due to the way they act.
The story quite early completely removes any semblance of tension or world building, when you are rescued from your "deadly predicament" by one of the worst deus ex machina moments possible, all done for a "haha funnie" moment that only accomplishes complete deflation of narrative. Why care for anything when you will be saved by idiocy?
Visually fine, not sure if this is custom maid, but it certainly doesn't look much better than illusionsoft stuff.
But most importantly, there is barely any content. Don't get fooled by the file size or the "extensive" changelogs, this barely qualifies as a demo, and every update adds barely nothing at all.
At this point, a disappointing waste of bandwidth and time, an attempt at a porn version of konosuba subversion that does not work on any level.

It's hard to take the game seriously, when not even the game itself can take itself seriously, I like a humorous atmosphere, it made me laugh a few times, but when the humorous atmosphere is just that all the time, it kind of loses its fun over time,like living in a circus with everyone making jokes all the time, sometimes in the midst of so much comedy I just want to be taken seriously by a female character, or that our protagonist acts normally without looking like an idiot or something like that.

As the developer already said on the page, our MC protagonist will not be particularly interested in any girl, so I suppose he will always use every girl he finds in a pathetic way as he always does, His personality is one of those capable of giving a girl a pie in the face and still leaving laughing.

As I'm a more serious guy, I couldn't get too attached to the game or the characters, since I like to get involved in role-playing and be immersed in the game as if I were the protagonist, feel like I'm in history.

the girl in the store treats MC like trash for no reason at all (unlike the other girls who really have a reason to treat MC badly for having an idiotic attitude towards them), the tsundere guard is worse than a 5 year old kid picking on him for anything , the girl from the guild just seeing the MC for the first time already wants to marry him without even knowing his name, the girl in prison will soon arrive sitting on the MC's dick in the blink of an eye

what attracted me to the game initially was the unusual quality of the game, seriously, that incredible rendering must have taken a lot of work, But as the developer himself said, it's not his first work, so creating something of extreme quality like this for him should be easier, The developer's skill is impressive, but I kind of feel like this is being wasted with the way he puts life into the characters as I explained at the beginning.

a game that I'm interested in in the medieval RPG quest style, if you've played any medieval RPG with quests, guilds and missions, you know what it's like, and I really like that, if the game at least put humor in the right moments, at the right time and made the characters care about each other, maybe I would care about it too from my perspective as a player.

In short: the game has extreme and impressive visual quality, but visuals aren't everything, and I'm not a big fan of satire and constant jokes.

Beautiful game with humor that actually hits. It doesn't try that hard to be funny but it just is. I also have to say, I like the ability to um. Have fun with girls without their consent, if you get my drift. Not many games are brave enough to do that. I also like the choices you have in how you approach all of the girls. The biggest negative I think is that its a sandbox of course and that means there are points where you are clicking around fishing for new events. I'd rather it be a more VN style with more choices rather than having to click around this imaginary city and look for events. Other than that, the game so far is sort of short but what's here is damn good. I really enjoyed my time playing it and I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure.

Just finished the 0.53.4 and i would still say it feels mostly like a demo still, but it still gives you a nice start with the story which is pretty good, the characters have diffrent personalities anywhere from crazy to fun or annoying, so a bit for everyones taste.
The only part in the story i hated was the hole hospital part, i dont like getting ripped out from the hole immersive experience you might have in the world your supposed to be in.

I havent really tested out choices but it does seem like you arent forced to fuck anyone if you dont want to which is perfect, and i hope it stays this way, and its something ill keep an eye on in future updates.

The girls/LIs are cute and most of them looks good, some might get on your nerves but they are ment to do that, that hey honey/husbond girl drives me nuts, but it felt nice to rip up that marrige contract hah

Animations i dunno they are a bit average but still something you can enjoy.

Music and Effects are good and suits the game.

Sandbox is pretty good and for now there is no real grinds to be worried about, but current version pretty much stops close to getting to the sandbox part so you dont really have much to do yet.

For now review is a bit short but it covers most for now, but i will revisit this once there is alot more content.

I warn you that this comment is from version 0.51


It is relatively short practically a demo, but it is graphically good with quite striking characters, a decent story, a good variety of characters aesthetically speaking and a promising future potential.

I enjoyed it a lot, keep up the good work! Although it's very early on I can see the potential of this just by looking at all the aspects so far (chars, story, animations, performance). I'm really looking forward to playing the game again later on when it gets more updates.

Edit: with a bit of time to think about it and talking to the developer of the game i have come to the conclusion that some points in my review have been slightly too harsh. I am keeping the orginal review below so people get additional information, but you can ignore my part about the website opening randomly. If you are willing to open a random exe from a forum you have other things to worry about than websites opening.
While the other points are still valid, they should not discourage you from trying out the game. While it is random in a lot of places it has a certain B-Movie charm to it, and the potential for further groth is very high with this one! Moving up my rating to 4 stars for now, if the other issues are worked on and the game get's a bit more content under its belt it can easily become a 5 star.


old review for version 0.48.5
---------------------------------------
Can't really give much more stars than 3 even though i would like to for the supposed freedom of choice. Simply the fact that the maker allows for rather dark content (comedic rape) is commendable. And art is very good too for koikatsu base, though it sometimes has issues with backgrounds looking very awful/not fitting together in tone.

But there are just some glaring issues that hold back the game.

The biggest one is the writing. The amount of grammar and typo errors is simply unacceptable. I get not having english as a first language, it is not my first one either. But do you see 5 missing A or The in my text?
And even if you have problems, there are so many free/cheap writing checking tools online that could easily fix these things. Hell we have chatgpt now that could rewrite any sentence with less issues than the game has.
Which means the designer either didn't care, bad at his job, or way too lazy. Either option is not reflecting well on the game! Each error is pulling the player out of the game, and with such an easy fix, it really is not toleratable (and yeah i know there are worse offenders, but 2 wrongs don't make a write!)

Then there is the characterization. This game clearly is not taking itself too seriously and the setup is relativly intriguing. But it goes over the top a bit too much a few times, in my opinion. Especially the gigantic random personality shift of the big shop sister is just akward as hell. I mean, i get it, her sister is in danger. But people don't just flip a switch like THAT.

Another big issue is the game framework. If you are touting that you are not using renpy to use a "serious" engine, maybe actually make the framework work as good as renpy atleast? I had to akwardly double click a lot of times because the scene first removed the current speechbubble but did not move on to the next scene right away.
And the fishing mini-game needs a better explanation asap. It only says to hold the key, but you actually have to hold and move the mouse. How can you program that game and not notice how akward it is?

Ohh and also fuck off with trying to get data from me? Extra stories with the demand for giving away player data? Heeeell no. You are already encroching the line of beeing shady when you randomly open up a website in the browser for a joke. Sure it was kinda funny, but that can easily be misused for anything, and not a good idea if you want to keep players trusting you.
So the designer has to heavily rethink how he should look at privacy standards for his games!

As of 6/23/23, I have changed my review. (Added a star)
The dev has worked out my issues with the game.

I really like the story so far, It's a lot darker and more taboo than most Koikatsu games we get.

The characters introduced so far are pretty unique and cute, one of which is a fairy! (or at least looks like one). Maybe we'll finally get a game with fairy fucking and cumflation? but as of right now, she doesn't have any content.

Seeing how the dev has decided to create their game in Unity, I'm excited to see what they will add to make it stand out from other VNs.
The dev is clearly passionate and willing to try to make the best game they can!

Finished the current version, huge potential and already nice flavor of scenes. Really looking forward to Updates and the finished Version of it one day.

Pro's:
- Nice flavor of Scenes can see lots of kinks covered in fuiture versions
- Good Start for the Story so far
- Nice Humor kinda could feel like Konosuba but as a Hentai Game once its finished
- Koikatsu Models (Not everybody likes them but i think they are a nice pick)
- Dev active on F95 answering questions etc.

Con's:
- Not much content for now (30-60min Playtime)
- Some minor Bugs nothing gamebreaking

Made my Review for Version 0.42 - will Update it once i played newer Versions.

+ It has a good amount of actual funny jokes, a lot of freedom, as to what you want and don't want to see, which is something I appreciate.
The animations are enjoyable, the characters already have a very good distinction among them, it's not a simple "here are 10 copies of the same personality game", which is good for an early release, if kept up, it will add to the overall feel, tho also being quite tiring to entertain.

~ Some minor typos here and there, but not too impactful, that it ruins the mood of the game.
I'm not sure if the blowjob scene is supposed to run once and not be looped, but I assume it is a mistake(?).

- My only issue would be, while I appreciate the game having a good amount of H content, the actual length might have suffered from it, there is no harm in focusing on one or two characters and moving the story along and updating it with further content for others, I would have enjoyed to spend more time in the actual game and while it is an early release, when I played it until the guild creation part, after looking if the choices affect the game, I realised, it took me about 20 min to get there the second time.

All in all, if the quality and workflow is kept up, I highly expect it to be 5/5.
Please keep it up!

Played through the newest version must say this game is definitely a hidden gem. It's a solid 10/10 when it comes to the character design. The story also looks really promising cant wait to see more in the future keep up the great work.

After playing the latest version available to the public, 0.22, I found myself impressed enough that I feel like doing this.

For starters, the premise itself is generic, but the presentation is superb. R18 games are a dime a dozen in this website, the first sign you stumble into a good one is how much effort goes into the beginning -- and you put so much it's kinda creepy. Different shaders and renders than typical VNs, the menu, even the goofy prologue; it's more than enough sign to show a lot goes into this game.

Going in, I get the impression your work is very:
- Flexible (in the range of R18 stuff included, seeing as we begin by trying suicide, being told we might get ordered to kill people, and one of the firstt H-scene we can do is sleep sex), and also
- Dynamic (hell, my mac can barely animate the part where Cylia starts dancing with hololive Ollie's electro swing playing in the background)
- Sexy. The renders of the girls aren’t half-jobs and the available animations aren’t clunky.

When the appropriate time comes, such as when more versions are public, I will spread the work.

My new impressions of the game have improved by a fair margin. The characters still look really good and it might just be me but the MC's eyes are still a bit strange. I still like the fact that elves can't use magic because they are typically great with it in media. It also looks like the Dev got rid of the strange releases. The game also has a satisfying amount of content as of this review. All in all the game has improved greatly since I originally looked at it.
