Unity - Hounds of the Meteor [v2024-11-29] [DogFactory]

Fuck this game and fuck the dev who made it. This game is only fun if you don't have to play it. The combat is so frustrating it will make you want to commit a felony. It took me over an hour - LITERALLY - just to LOSE a boss fight, because I kept getting grappled OVER 50 GODDAMN TIMES. Your enemies can hit you from twice the distance, but if you get close enough to where you can actually do some damage - if you're lucky - you'll get one or two hits off before you're fucking grappled and have to wait TWO fucking minutes before your character gets tossed away and you can stand back up and fight - after mashing buttons WHICH FOR SOME FUCKING REASON IS THE ONLY TIME THE GAME DOESN'T REQUIRE SONIC THE FUCKING HEDGEHOG SPEED TO DO LIKE IT DOES EVERY FUCKING TIME YOU'RE GRAPPLED.

Do yourself a favor, don't play it. Wait till someone else posts a save file and then load that up to watch the gallery. You'll save yourself years of your lifespan.

nice character, hot scenes, controls are particularly easy, though the characters' faces are a bit unsettling (3d)
one thing i must add is the "exit game" button, please change it from "esc" to like "alt+f4"

Been playing this game for roughly 2 years on and off due to its long development cycle.
To go straight to the point, it probably ain't for everybody but something if you have the fetishes described in the tags, it's among the best.

Sure some can say that the gameplay has nothing innovative to bring to the table or that it's "uninspired" but in my opinion it is actually a dev's honest attempt at a game which makes both gameplay and eroticism work together.

You want to play the game without ever loosing or putting yourself in "these" situations? (As fellow enjoyers of this site's games, we all know what those are) Knock yourself out, sure you will miss a good portion of the "H-content" but you still have some (quite good IMO).
You want to clear all the content available? You can complete the game by never hitting a "game over" scene and yet see all the content available. Sure the game gets harder, but hey, nothing ain't ever free right?
Want both? Also possible, complete all the missions the normal way, get at the end of the available content and then enjoy all "kyaaa mister bug you're way too strong for me" shenanigans you want by simply backtracking to the zone you want to experience the content of.

All in all, content wise this game is a gem. The dev cycle is clearly harduous and slow, but I can give props to the dev actually communicating and owning up his shortcomings by actually apologizing and explaining stuff. And just for that, he's got my 5/5 and my respect.

Good luck out there dev and have fun my fellow dudes

An absolutely huge file size for extremely uninspired gameplay (just side-scrolling punching), awful music, really annoying dialogue and menus (which will waste huge amounts of your time), and unattractive renders with a female protagonist that has an odd looking lower face area. Honestly, an all-round terrible experience, and one that I am annoyed ended up being so hugely large in terms of dl and install size.

Hoping this will keep improving the way it has. Yes obviously, it would be awesome if it went a bit quicker but I rather have this be finished slow rather than not finished at all. The game is great fun and looks super nice. Gameplay is smooth and enjoyable. I will comeback to this game a lot i think once it gets more content. The content available is amazing so far and you can defiantly sink a couple of hours into this game already. Keep going! this will be great

One of the more well-programmed side-scrollers of recent memory.
Most scenes during gameplay and 3d videos are out of most modern games. Also, not having 16-bit character gameplay helps.
The creator from Hounds of the Blade still continues updates as of 11/12/2023, although the physical and mental health of the author seems to be worsening.

I wish devs. complete this game. I can't wait play the complete version of this game. I swear this is one of the best top 5 Games i've played from this site. And mind you, I've played like 500+ rec. games from this site with high ratings. This game is just on another level with its graphics, character designs, story build-up, storyline, suspense elements, varieties and specially its top notch Lewd scenes, which makes this game out of the world. I can keep typing about what more thing I love this game and I believe it's one of those masterpieces which you must try if you're into modern combat games but with female-ryona involved.

I would like to give this game a higher score, because there is a lot good to be find in this game such as models, story, game play(mostly), but, there is one thing that pissed me off so much, I had to drop this game and that's the menus.

This game has so many menus it's insane, I don't know why the developer didn't just make you go around in the 2D mode to go the various places, instead you will have to navigate this menu hell to try and find everything. I think I sat around more time in the menus in this game then actually playing this game, why is there so many menus such as, think, talk, walk, buy, leave, data, etc, and then you have to repeat that to every npc and then those menus have even more options to choose from! This is the first game that have had menus annoy me so much I had to stop playing it.

Story was pretty good at least in the beginning, can't say anything about what's it like later.

Controls was honestly to much, it felt like they we're trying so many different things with, magic, suit, combos, attacks, evade, block, dash, etc, so it felt like there we're to many buttons.

Models looks good in this game and the sex animations in battle and outside of battle looks quite good.

If you can stomach navigating through all the menus there is some good to be had here, though I didn't think the combat was that good, it always felt like I was missing options for combos or attacks to hit the enemies with.

I've played a lot of these action->get raped types of games... tbh it's not my cup of tea since you have to play with both hands if you know what i mean...

but among all those action games i think this is the best. so since it's the best of its category (at least among the many I've played) it deserves a 5/5

the reason it's the best imo, is because it actually has a story with choices. so far some of the choices do come up in dialogues.

plus what i like more is that the game does have a difficulty scroll, but at normal difficulty it's not that supereasy to get away from enemies if they try to grope/rape you. which is good, since if I have to let her get raped without any effort then the whole "fetish" feels empty. i want to struggle and still forced into orgasm. and this game i think tries to prioritise that.


if you want to be very good at it, you can get through it without getting grabbed. first 1-2 scene you will be force raped probably. so if you are not into it then avoid it. after that it's basically a choice and how good you want to be. yet the game still stays challenging, so imo perfect game design

H-content: lots of animated sex scenes. some are closeups with the same graphics as the battle, but some are decently animated 3d highdef models. main story has some sex scenes(blackmail, groping) then there are the losing consequences. no gameovers and every "consequence" can be cured or resolved so far.

Every control is so hard to get....
Just the fact selecting an option is hard or that i should destroy my keyboard to escape monster catching the palyer is absurd, and he make game for time now...

The story isn't new, 2 and half years later the advancement is as difficult than with all other game project, the comba part is worst than most game...

I don't like destroying a game, but i don't care about potential on this one, he had time and time again created a 2D "beat them all" where you can't enjoy playing...

-Progression: Slow, Smooth and Meaningful with different paths.
-Systems: A lot of them, all working extremely nicely.
-Everything: Top tier fun!

Cons:
-Slow development time, but not really.

Many parasite and Tentacle games don't have a story, like Night Of Revenge and Parasite in The City.And the story of this action game accounts for a considerable proportion.And according to the current version, the various states of the MC will affect the future development of the story.


Since there isn't a lot of content at the moment, only 3 areas are open, and some status stats aren't useful, I give this game 4 stars

Thank you so much, F95 website and F95 users, for sharing all this yummy food.

I Love DogFactory , game Hounds of the blade , since
I love the Esc button so I can exit the game faster to access other content
I really like Guro / ahegão, I hope the game has less censorship over time
DogFactory , The best for you

it makes no sense to censor pornography, life and the world ,
censorship breeders who must be tied up in a cage because they are crazy.

so; i'm not normally good at side-scrollers anyways, but holy fuck, who's idea was it to arm the enemies with ranged weaponry, AND NOT GIVE YOU A RANGED ATTACK?

And why are the controls so clunky? I can't even check the keymaps without accidentally changing them, and the default controls are horrible.

also, unrelated, but; why does everyone who makes a game in unity never disable the 'esc to exit game' bullcrap? why is that even a thing? who thought that that was a good design choice?

I'm sure someone likes this game, but that person is definitely not me. >_>

So far so good. Already has a good amount of content, reasonably believable plot, sex scenes are a blast. The foundation is there for a great game, the existence of uncensor is just a cherry on top of overall a really nice package. Can't wait to see what the future will bring.

My first play through gave me a fun time playing while noticing some good stuff like the story and VN part.

5 Stars overall, it has a lot of potential to be a great side scrolling game

INTRODUCTION;
Hounds of the Meteor (HOTM) is the latest game by InuFactory (DogFactory), HOTM marks the first professional game development attempt by Inu as all their previous works were 100% free and more done as a hobby and by consequence were also never intended to be finished and never were finished. Whenever they got bored of a project or new tech would come along they would move on to a new project which brings us to HOTM.

HOTM is a side scrolling action combat game that uses 3D assets for the visual style. It is set in a sci-fi setting where the main protagonist is a human from Earth who travels the universe to fight evil.


STORY;
Many side scrolling action games have little to no story, HOTM doesn't have as much story as say a Renpy but it definitely has plenty of story to get you interested in the setting, the motivation of the main character and the side characters. Each NPC you meet has different motivations and personalities and not all NPCs are out to get you. Inu likes to throw curveballs as well as some NPCs seem hostile when they actually want to help you and others seem friendly only to stab you in the back. This definitely adds to the fun of the game and makes you interested in seeing all the story event varieties.


GAMEPLAY;
I wouldn't say the combat is mind-blowingly good there are other side scrolling H-games out there that feature better or more innovative combat but the combat is also not bad by any means and thanks to a difficulty slider in the options menu every player can play the game at the balance and challenge level they are comfortable with. A great thing about the difficulty slider is that it works on the fly! Meaning you can change difficulty during any mission even during combat sequences with a boss fight.

The combat is fun enough to make you want to play the game for the gameplay and not just for the H-content but it isn't good enough to carry the game without the H-content as the reward.


H-CONTENT;
The H-content in this game is perhaps its best selling point, there is a large variety of fetishes featured in this game ranging from vanilla sex to beastiality and even insects. While you can't disable any fetish you can avoid all sex scenes and events in the game. Even the first event in the game which you are meant to lose can be won to avoid seeing the sex content in that scene.

As for the quality of the H-content you have two types of H in the game, you have combat rape where your character gets grabbed during the side scrolling combat portions of the game and each NPC has a variety of animations depending on the state of your character or their stance (e.g. standing vs laying on the ground) and even in the same stance some NPCs have multiple animations.

What is even better is that some animations have consequences, if you let certain enemies cum inside you, they can actually impregnate you with their offspring or lay eggs etc... inside you which will hatch later. Some animations will lead to events if you don't "solve" the issue on time. For example if you are impregnated but don't get abortion and the monster is born and escapes that actually unlocks an entire new location and series of events!

In addition to the side scrolling H-content there is also story or event related H-scenes similar to what you'd more expect from a Renpy game that even have dialogue choices that actually unlock different events or change the event you see depending on your choices or simply avoids the sex entirely. These use a combination of 3D still images and 3D animation loops.

Content wise the game currently has a solid 5 to 10 hours of gameplay but this is expanding greatly with each new update it is unclear how long before this game will be fully finished or how much more content the dev plans to add but it is looking like this could easily shape up to become a 20+ hour game by the time it is finished.
