Unity - Completed - Hidden Realm of the Enchantress [v1.0.5] [T.F.A.N.C.S]

A cute game in the style of (Id say) a card builder. Solid gameplay loop, and solid erotic content, though a considerable amount of it is missing in the form of yet-to-be-added domination scenes from winning a fight, most notably the bosses. Speaking of, theres a few things that makes it pretty clear its not a full release, such as the aforementioned lack of a bunch of scenes, and a lack of an ending (it just loops you back to the start once you get to the last floor). However, all in all it is a very solid framework which makes me look forward to any future updates. Very much worth a try if you'd like to spend an hour away.

[Revised for v1.0.3, from v0.9]
Another small game from T.F.A.N.C.S, this time in the vague style of a card-based dungeon-crawly rogue-like RPG. You thrust yourself into a dungeon full of various sexy monster ladies to fight (or fuck) your way to the titular Enchantress, collecting new abilities and items as you do.

There's a deceptive amount of depth to this game. You have a number of Action Points to use your skills with per turn, as well as the ability to use any amount of Items each turn, and the ability to convert skills you don't need into items. Enemies can be damaged either through attacks, which have to overcome their Armor, or through building up their Pleasure and Lust. On top of all that, certain enemies have some particular gimmicks you need to overcome, either through careful use of abilities or just plain brute force.

All of this combined makes this game as much of a puzzler as it is an RPG. Your actions and decisions have to be planned out, or else you put yourself at risk in the long term. Manage your resources carefully, as Health and Armor recovery is hard to come by. Though your item storage is bottomless, you can only access a handful at a time, and you can't simply discard anything you don't need. And while reaching the final boss is one thing, actually defeating them is a huge challenge if you're not prepared!

In terms of erotic content, it's actually pretty alright. All the character sprites (both you and the enemy) are animated and change dynamically based on their armor and health. Every enemy also has one "domination" scene you can get when you beat them (except for a few specific ones, for some reason). However, dominating enemies increases your Lust, which is generally risky, and there's such a variety of enemies that actually seeing all the scenes in a single run is unlikely.

I wouldn't say the game is truly perfect, but especially compared to the other works of T.F.A.N.C.S, it's pretty satisfying. The rogue-like nature actually shines here with the variety of skills, items, and monsters you can come across, so I'd say there's a good amount of replayability here.

Whether you're here looking for an actual fun game, or just looking for a nice gallery to get yourself off to, I think this game actually delivers well enough on both ends. Would recommend.

Review of Version 0.9

You are thrown into a dungeon? Labyrinth? Parallel dimension? Does not matter. There are sexy monster girls to dominate!

Cons:

-Placeholders. So you get to beat a monster girl and dont even get a sex scene from it. I would not implement it if there is no real reward. Like you are always not sure if you even get a scene after beating the enemy and this is not a good feeling. And if you get 2 or 3 enemies you can only chose one to fuck. The rest explains itself.
- The protagonists dick is way to big. It looks very comical und ridiculous.
-Some monster combinations are unbeatable.
-Armor is too important since you cant regain it with any skill. Makes longer runs way to impossible. In later stages a enemy party of 3 is almost everytime certain doom.
-Rogue like. You try you lose you try again. Normally in a rogue like you get something for playing. A little progress so it does not feel like wasted time. I only expected unlocking the animations you encoutered. Would be a good idea in my eyes. Beat the enemy, fuck em and unlock their animations so you do earn something from your playthrough. But no. you get nothing. No perma skills, no stat boosts, no animations. You are actively wasting time to gain nothing.
-The music.Tthe loop gets annoying quick. Either choose a song loop less obvious or a song that fits to be a background. In the entire game there is only one song.
-In fullscreen mode I could not read the explanation for some enemy statuses and some of my attributes descriptions like "power".

Pros:

+Great variety of body types and real monster looking monster girls. Not only women with cat ears.
+Great variety of positions (even if I would love more vaginal penetrations)
+Great animation. Enemies react to damage, your character reacts to damage. Both react to seduction etc. This really makes the combat more alive. Thats something I critisized in "Spirit Valley". They could take a few inspirations from this one.
(+I still like T.F.A.N.C.S art style and animations.)
+One hand-playable
+Well coded. Did not encounter any bugs or crashes. Also the entire UI is clean and good. The abilites are well explained. Without a tutorial I could learn the game by playing and reading. Not every game needs a tutorial I like that. The creator does not think that Iam a total idiot and I cant figure out things myself.
+I like that there is no story. Just gameplay and sex. Thats enough for me (even if the gameplay is sadly lacking in this one)
+Generic fitting sound effects.


I am a bit disappointed. I like T.F.A.N.C.S style of art and if he had polished the brothel game it could have been amazing. I even tried to tell him that in the feedback of his discord. But it was more like "I hear your feedback....", but he did not actually change anything. Many people for example called for creampies. He just did not want to do it, since he had to rework the animations and that takes to much time. Personally investing time in a project to improve it is way better than lacking the skills to do so. or not knowing what to improve on. So instead of updating and improving your games the creator decided to rush to the next game and the next genre. And this one being v0.9 I feel for the same destiny. It has a real good base but need more polish and work to be really good.

[v0.9]
Endless roguelike card battle with beautiful 2d animations.
But.
It is endless and has nothing apart from fighting...

-Story, Originality
You are a in a dungeon with monster-girls.

-Renders
Very cool 2d art.

-Sound
Some music and basic sounds.

-Playability
Endless pressing on "cards" and occasional cool 2d h-animations (many have "placeholder" blank image).

-Performance
Runs okay.

-Bugs
Didn't see them.

-Animations
Very good animations and still images.

-Voice Acting
No voices.

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
Too repetative gameplay, not all of the animations are ready and no way to just look at the cool h-animations...

The game lacks content, but I like it and I think it's promising. Even if they didn't improve anything else, just having a gallery available (which it doesn't have yet) and putting in a tutorial or a guide would be enough to make it a good game, but if they add extra content this could be quite remarkable. I haven't seen a roadmap so I'm not sure what will happen with it, but given its potential I think it could be a well-deserved 4/5 without any problems.

About the game itself, you unlock skills of 2 main types, defeat enemies and fuck the monster girls you defeat, simple, if you die you start over like in rogue-like games.

it's a cute little game with a good amount of variety in enemy types and a sweet art style, would like a little more depth in gameplay but it isn't finished so il give it a pass, check it out and support the creator
