- The randomness is part of the roguelite nature, the concept is to play blindly, learn what each game mechanic does, fail then try again better prepared with knowledge for a longer run.
- While it's a porn game you're not meant to extract the jizz out of every mob you find since that makes the mc quickly reach her cum cap and fail from intoxication.
- For gear, only swap if you have enough strength and/or identify if it's cursed or not by using one of those tables you find around the map (drop the unknown gear over it) or scrolls. Potions are a little less risky, so you can try it out to learn what each do.
- Attacking the mobs makes you earn mana, which can be used to heal yourself by using the spell in the other inventory tab, helps a bit when there's no other option available.
After you get an upgraded regen ring, spare hp potions, strength enough to avoid all mob attacks and good gear the dungeon loop becomes a walk in the park.
Great write-up for those unaware!
Having said that, I'm no stranger to roguelites/roguelikes. I've been doing all of this.
My biggest issue is that the pathway for success is more or less the same each run, which conflicts with the porn-game aspect of the experience. You need to replay it to see all of the scene variations, but the routine allows for very little deviance in how you approach it. That's what I meant about a lack of consistency. You need to achieve a very specific stat check each run, or you're screwed.
It boils down to:
Get enough strength.
Get enough healing.
Get enough AC.
The way that you achieve that is the same each time as well, which is what sucks.
