Unity - Completed - Guns of Succubus [Final] [RakuRai]

Art: 4/5
Decent art style, however, static and boring
Gameplay: 1/5
Just bad. No quality control, nor focus on user experience. Like a badly copied homework done in 15 minutes before class.

• No key rebind
• No back-to-menu button
• Esc close the game with no warning
• Unclear hitbox
• Claustrophobic arena with RNG enemy spawn
• Difficulty makes no sense, developer has zero awareness of the difference between numbers and gameplay impact
• Power-up RNG, not in a good way
• CC effect duration unclear
• Iframe duration unclear

There's a lot more I'd love to say, but it'd be more subjective on how to make a good bullet hell experience. Though I will state this ain't one. It's "easy" with RNG difficulty spikes potential, and nonsensical balance between characters and powerup RNG, basically.
Plot: N/A
Music: 3/5
Decent background music. Nothing spectacular.

Shows great promise. Poor execution.

Story 2/10

This story is just bad. This entire game is one of those does-not-take-itself-seriously type of works and I personally hate those.

You seek out a gun to kill a succubus. The gun itself is a succubus, who promptly fucks you. Then you go on a "quest" (you go to the forest, the beach, the town, the mansion) to kill a particular succubus.

And why are you going on this walk quest to kill the succubus? Because the succubus pegged you.

Gameplay 3/10

VN bullet hell. The VN was covered in story, this section covers the bullet hell.

It's not that great. It's some crappy unity game a 2nd year CS student throws together following online tutorials.

The controls aren't tight. The levels are short. The options are limited.

After you beat the game, you need to lose in specific ways or beat the game with a specific power to unlock scenes. Kind of tedious. But luckily there's a full save/cheat code to unlock all scenes (look in the discussion).

Art 5/10

Honestly the art is what drew me to play this game. I love the starry eyed anime style. But the scenes are lackluster with low variety.

Overall 3/10

Short game with 2 hours of content. I thought with the art style being so beautiful this would be an "epic" game (meaning long with story). Quite the opposite. Short and not taking itself seriously.

There was a lapse in expectations. I can't strongly critique the author's style because it's just not for me and I'm likely not the target audience.

Very rare that I genuinely enjoy the gameplay of a porn game.

Story is whatever, hardly any dialogue at all you pretty much just pick up a succubus version of a GFL doll and start blasting some hoes.

It's a pretty standard bullet hell with a few skills/powerups you can choose from featuring some waves of trash mobs before a boss. Very easy on normal, somewhat challenging on hard. My only gripe is that hitboxes and dodge rolling are a bit wonky sometimes, but they aren't horrible.

Scenes are very well done and extremely quick to access. The only scenes that will take you some time are ones that require beating arcade mode on hard with each character aside from the starting one. Even collecting all of those scenes will take you less than an hour.

Overall, I'm a huge fan of short and sweet games like these and definitely think it deserves a 5/5.

A surprisingly fun and cute game, albeit, a few flaws.

Gameplay: 4/5, simple, but effective, I think.
It's a bullet hell. Some bosses are easy, some are hard. The final boss, I only got hit once. The one before, I got hit several times. I played on Normal just to see what I was getting myself into... Honestly, normal was pretty easy, but I might be too lazy to grind out the other CGs.

Also, the CGs, you don't unlock just by beating the game, I think. Maybe on harder difficulties. This can be a plus or a minus.

The main flaw is that hitboxes are weird. Some bullets will go through bodies, including your own (like the head) so you have to aim for the center of mass. But sometimes they're large enough that you see bullets phase through. Also, enemies can "float" up or something, and make your bullets miss entirely, or something? Not sure. Honestly, it's not too much of an issue, but something to note.

Rolling is a bit rough/slow. It works, but can feel a bit... Slow, because it has a lot of end lag.

Overall, a pretty standard bullet hell. It's no Touhou.

Story: 4/5, MTL, but readable.
It's pretty much just a joke; you go looking for a succubus to get revenge. But you meet others, and you shoot 'em with the "non-existence" AK47, who is also a succubus. Turns out, the succubus you want revenge on was trying to help you, but uh... Went around it the wrong way. Hah.

Sound: 3/5. It's pretty samey, and boring.
It could be worse, it could literally not exist or earrape you but it doesn't. It's just... Normal, everyday stuff. Kinda boring to be honest.

Art: 5/5. It's cute.
Some of the sprites, especially in-game are chibi and cute. But the actually characters, well, at least I don't really notice anything bad. Maybe their eyes and make-up might be a bit much to others? But I'm fine with everything.

Summary:
It's just an alright time waster. Spent maybe 30 minutes to beat the game. One issue is that you have to alt+enter to fullscreen it, unless you have a resolution higher than 1920x1080. Or you can play at a lower resolution.
It's not hard on "normal" difficulty, unlike other bullet hells... If you're new to bullet hells, play easy or normal. If you experienced bullet hells before, hard is definitely the way to go. IDK about Nightmare, but I don't really want to challenge myself.
