TLDR: Decent little game artificially extended by grinding and repeated resources; not as good as it could be. May glitch out and become unplayable.
AS A GAME: It's okay, just really grindy.
I thought the combat system was too simple at first, then I figured out how to add girls to my party. You do it from the menu anytime you're not in a combat area. I'm not sure the game ever tells you this. I thought you had to talk to the girls, and that I needed to beat the first dungeon before it became an option, or there was some glitch preventing the option from showing up.
I'm not particularly fond of the "Burst" mechanic, where after attacking enough your character becomes more powerful but constantly drains mana, which is highly valuable as you can use it to summon fairy allies who attack enemies for you a certain number of times; but this does incentivize breeding, which adds fairies to the forest, which increases your mana.
That's the odd/interesting thing about the dungeon crawl aspect of this game. It's an ARPG about resource management, not so much about skill. There's a dodge button which makes you think it's a skill-based game, but it's really about mid-and-long-term logistics. You and your (team)mates take damage, use potions to heal, potions cost money, you get money by defeating enemies, enemies drain health. You can play as a soulslike, attacking once and dodging to avoid taking a hit, but that's extremely difficult esp. against enemies with ranged attacks, plus your AI party isn't smart enough to dodge, and they're really powerful if properly leveled.
AS PORN: Breeding is my main fetish, and it's pretty well integrated into the gameplay. It's just not very well animated.
Every NPC can be wooed, although said wooing is pretty bad; all you do is overwhelm her with flowers which AFAIK exist for no other reason than this, then that's it, she's yours forever. This could have been great if for example you had to level her up as a party member first so you have an actual relationship, then give her a rare and otherwise valuable item depending on each individual girl to show that you've been paying attention to her personality, and are willing to give something of tangible value for her. That would be a pretty simple and versatile system that meshes well with the other ARPG systems, while also serving as a decently immersive requirement for the goal of getting under her skirt. As it is, it's the most barebones dating sim element I've seen, but at least it's easy.
Once wooed, she can be fucked and impregnated. There is a chance based mechanic for whether or not she actually gets pregnant, but there doesn't seem to be any limit on how many times you can try in a row, so unless you're roleplaying only being able to ejaculate a few times a day, you just keep letting the scene play until you see the sperm-in-egg animation.
The next day she'll be heavily pregnant and won't be available as a party member, or whatever else her job is. Then the day after that she'll be available for work again, having given birth to about ten or so fairies, which increases your mana pool. This is an interesting tradeoff and makes sense in the context of this fantasy world, although again it's resource management and grinding so if you don't like that you may be frustrated.
Where the porn really falls short is the artistic presentation. Every girl has the same five (I think) sex positions, with two (I think) not being available when pregnant, and all have the same pregnancy costume. I'm sure some fellow breeding fetishists would be disappointed to hear that there's no birthing scene. I think I would prefer one animation for each girl in each state with a consistent costume, which would also allow for more body types (loli on shota plz soo gud) so there's more incentive to unlock the next girl. The copy & paste format is just really lame, especially for a game this size.
OTHER NOTES: This game is not very stable, and lacks polish.
There's no keybind options. Selecting a potion freezes the game for a few seconds sometimes. You have to reset language every time you start the game and some things in English mode are just not translated at all, although thank the various gods the game's not auto-translated. There's no forward or backward running animations; just left or right, which is really the same animation copy-pasted the other way.
Most egregiously, the game broke somehow so now I can't select anything in the main menu. I can move the highlight over a button and press it, but nothing happens. Even downloading a new file for a fresh install doesn't work. My game's borked.
CONCLUSION: It's honestly not that good, but I'm giving it an extra star because there is some commendable effort here compared to most shovelware crap that saturates the porn game market.
This is not a VN that barely qualifies as a game, or an asset flip Unreal Engine third person shooter where the schoolgirl gets raped by zombies on defeat, or an RPGM game about isekai, NTR or debt (Magical Knightess Exhibitionist Sakura-chan Cuckold NEET Boyfriend to Pay Off a Loan in Another World Where I am Reincarnated as a Dirty Old Man and Can Sex the NPCs?!) No, this is a real game, with a vision and some potential, but I can't escape the feeling it could have been so much better.
Also, my computer becoming permanently hostile to the game where even a fresh install doesn't work really ruins everything. What's the most important part of any game? Well, being able to fucking play it. I'm taking that extra star away until - and unless - I get that fixed.
