Unreal Engine - Harem of Valerius [Prototype v1.0.1.1 Fix] [Valendir Games]

Impressive artwork. But it's a side scroller. And some of the Movement buttons are woefully inconsistent, meaning that if you press Spacebar to jump, the jumps are not always consistent in height. And then there is the combat.... pretty boring fight action. There is one sex scene after the opening video sequence (which was pretty long by the way), and little interaction within the scene. After that it's pretty much slash and hit and jump (sigh to the jump because it gets painful to try jumping after awhile). The female characters are stunning in the video sequences, but outside of the video, there is a lot of AI generated avatars and little else. Didn't see any more scenes or anything tantalizingly close after that. In fact, the opening sequence felt really boring to have so much camera focus on the MC's body. It's as though the female characters are just window dressing. Overall, I was reluctant to give this 3-stars because the plot is weak and the gameplay too mediocre. Wasn't memorable except for the art. It's the art that stood out as impressive. I think the developer's strength is in the artwork, and maybe the developer should just focus on those strengths and improve the story, rather than try to introduce complicated game mechanics. I only got as far as the bridge with the wheel, and then I got stuck trying to figure out how to go farther (I think there was a bug in the game).

Side scrolling hack and slash game.
There is a sex scene at the end of the first episode with ok animation.
The game will crash at the end of the episode.
The combat is weird because the physics is way off.
Enemies randomly jump off the screen during fights.
Hits deal damage but enemies don't really react to them.
You can land multiple hits by button mashing but it doesn't really combo.
There is really no need to block.
I was hoping for more harem and less Valerius.
