Unreal Engine - Onhold - Inheritance: Ladeina's Path SEASON 1 -UPDATED [v2023-12-06] [Kinky Lemur Games]

This is bad from top to bottom. Just another Unreal Engine assets crap with ugly as hell controls, animations, voice acting, visuals, directing, level design and everything else.

Does it worth buying? Hell no.
Does it worth downloading? Hell fucking no

Don't fall for beautiful screens

Every goddamn time main character actress opens her mouth it is painful to hear
Every time you see a mob it is painful to fight with
Every time you see a sex scene it is hilariously bad
Every time you ask yourself "why do I play this?" you understand that you wasted your time

This game looks sexy and the fighting mechanics are pretty dope. It's like the demo of a pretty nice action adventure game from 2015 with a sexy main character. Besides the option to make her naked with a shortcut there isn't much erotic to find at this point. Maybe go the armor break route in the future so it's more immersive. I seriously wonder how this would be included. Just having monsters have their way with her isn't very nice and kind of makes the point of winning weird as you get rewarded for losing on purpose. It's actually one of the best 3d heroine games yet. I had fun playing this even though her sword disappeared in my first attempt to finish the demo and I couldn't figure out how the inventory works.
Great work, Kinky Lemur Games! If you actually finish this game I'm sure it will be a success. Just don't forget to give her some motivations and a story. ;-)

Combat and movment is fluid but feels like a solid base to start from. The option to rebind controls would be nice addition.

No demo of what NSFW content will be in nor how it will be managed.

What's there works and is nicely stylised. I'll keep my eye on this one, and back once I've seen more of what to expect.

Best of luck to the devs.

Why 3 stars?

1. Very impressive female model, with cloth, hair, butt, and breast physics. Metals are shiny and cloth looks silky. Very well done.

2. Not much in the way of customization though; skin tone, hair color, and cloth color is all.

3. The camera is not very good and makes it hard to get a good look at the character and is even worse during combat.

4. She speaks, but her mouth never moves.

5. Archers are really hard to kill as they can move backwards as fast as you move forwards and shoot an unlimited number of arrows, with nigh-perfect accuracy.

6. Cannot rebind the keys and some of them are in very weird spots. Like Alt is dodge. Just feels unnatural.

7. Has a lock on, but it doesn't actually help unless you are doing just basic quick attacks. All the other attacks, cause the camera to jitter and bounce around erratically, making it really hard to keep track of your character.

8. The bow is taller than our character and you have limited arrows.

9. There is no blocking or parrying of attacks.

10. You cannot fight without your sword. You cannot shoot without arrows and you cannot retrieve your arrows from killed foes.

11. Only nudity as far as I can see. Very high quality nude character, but still just nudes. I didn't go very far though, as I couldn't kill this one archer, that kept eluding my melee strikes and every time it shot me I'd lose my shot that I was about to fire, so I was stuck.

It mostly gets the three stars because it is visually impressive and doesn't bring my computer to its knees to do so, and it has so much wonderful, bouncy physics, too. Combat wise, its horrible and it feels like combat is a major compotent.

If it gets updates, I'll give it a whirl and update my review accordingly.

The game has a lot of potential! It clearly needs a lot of work and it might seem impossible for a small team to pull off on such a big concept but I want to see this happening!

Gameplay wise, I would suggest trying to make the fighting more impactful/real with camera shaking once the attack hits or anything else that can add a little bit more of that AAA combat feeling.

Story wise there is not much to talk about for now. The idea seems interesting so I'm looking forward to it.

Sound/Ambience wise considering it's still early in development I like them! I suggest getting someone to make some original tracks for songs, they could start playing when in battle for example to make the atmosphere tense and awesome! Voice acting wise I like it, can definitely use work. I saw someone complaining about it, they clearly don't understand how that whole scene works. Hiring actors is not cheap and can be really expensive if not the most expensive part of a game.

For some final notes. I do love this witcher like idea made into an erotic game. As it is now it definitely doesn't stand up to anything of that sort but every update I see has a lot of improvements. I want to see this game be the next gen ARPG of 2023-2024!

Inheritance: Ladeina's Path is a game inspired in classics games with a lot of potencial.

Right now everything about the game looks and feels good. It's true that need some improvements but I'm sure with time devs gonna implement it.

I'm hyped to see where this game goes in the future. 100% recommended.

[v2023-12-06]

It's not a smooth experience, feels like character assets, buildings, combat and other RPG functions are all different and don't cooperate.

There's quite a lot to unpack:

• Combat moves lock you in, making it feel turn-based.
• Key-binds are weird- [X] to execute with [C] to crouch are not things wanted in active combat, also jump is useless and unnecessary (no platforming, jump attack is from running, not jumping).
  Bonus: can't get crouching to work.
  Bonus: random forced slow walk.
• Voice acting sounds bored (monotone) and disinterested.
• There's way too much exposition- intrusive cutscenes, monologues with nothing but weird words that are supposed to mean either name, rank, place or mystical force never before told.
• Controls feel weird, either they try to have too many options or they feel delayed.

Minor details:

• Executing is your own imposed cinematic interruption with no benefit
  Bonus: executing skeletons causes blood splatter on screen.
• The starting clothing and hair options aren't in the customization menu, that has very bright and WACK color choices.
• Nudity ends up feeling like an add-on, rather than a game feature.
• Controls help pop-up only exists at a few locations.
• Weird unknown timer after killing enemies goes unexplained.

In short: jank, weirdly both a lot and very little content to show it.
