Unity - Isekai Bastard [v0.1.3b] [Bastard-Sama]

massive grind for pretty much no payoff. description says he'll be a villain but actually doesn't follow through at all. for someone who's sex crazed, he doesn't actually take the opportunity if he can. he refuses to fully corrupt his family even though he can and that's the end goal. very stupid

I started to play before you made the changes to skip time faster and after that fix is way better, the only problem we still have is the grinding, but the art and history make it one of the best nsfw games I have ever played and the potential this game has is amazing, I have also seen how fast you update the game listening to your audience, excellent work

Review Update:
Fairly quick update rate so props for that, the amount of content is great (for the time between updates) but is very slow paced in terms of both progression and actual play-through.
The grind is just too much rn, either make less of it or make the actual game move faster.
Everything else is pretty dope,kudos.

Great game, good graphics, interesting and original story.

Honestly was was pleasantly surprised by quality of game, for which I was skeptical at first. Nice take on mc that is not a jock with baseball bat between his legs, but is rather a growing underdog. Good selection of LIs

A bit on the slow side but dev said that he is already working on it.
Some quality of life fixes are needed like gallery and options to skip through seen, and also more save slots, but, are also promised by dev, so I am eagerly awaiting next update.

My review of Isekai Bastard as of v0.1.1c

I have to say that I was quite pleasantly enthralled when playing through the initial release of Isekai Bastard. I am a fan of playing ugly bastard characters as the MC, and more importantly, the Netorase (NTS) elements of the game I found were executed quite well.

On that note, I am outlining some more of my thoughts below (pros vs cons).

Positive selling points:

+ The overarching narrative/plot and world-building elements were quite intriguing. The whole Isekai format and being thrust into a video game environment and observing the MC's adventures in the world of Necronomica were quite exciting to see.

+ Colourful/Delightfully eccentric cast of characters. Incidentally, I found the different FMC interactions quite charming to observe from a character relationship-building perspective. I especially liked learning more about Shezebel's backstory (i.e., the pinkish-skinned succubi-looking demon girl). I believe she will be a very staunch ally of the MC for future adventures.

+ The choice of music and ambient soundtracks used at times were also nice to listen to and fit the setting of the environments very well.

+ Renders/Models were overall decent. Some characters could use a bit of polish here and there, but overall I love their design (especially Laura) being one of my favourites. I think her model is quite something else (body proportion-wise)

Areas for improvement:

(-) There is a need to fully implement/enhance some quality of life features in the game. E.g., fast dialogue skip option, message backlog function so we can have a log of past messages to read through if we skip too fast and miss what was said in conversations, adding more save game slots, etc. The dev is actively spotting these errors and working to resolve them, so I have confidence that these quality-of-life improvements will be implemented in future updates.

(-) Repetitive/Grindy gameplay at times. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a grind-fest needed to unlock certain special events with some female characters in-game. As such, perhaps the requirements to meet certain FMC events can be lowered and/or offered in some way where players do not have to go through a repetitive grind to attain such scenes.

(-) Opportunity to build upon more linear-styled gameplay. For me personally, I do not mind playing through sandbox-styled AVNs, but if there is a possibility for more linear-themed narratives, then I would prefer the latter more so than the former on account of ease of gameplay value.

Final thoughts:

In summation, I believe that for an initial release, Isekai Bastard hits a lot of positive marks for me. E.g., ugly bastard-themed MC/male characters, hot women, harem-themed gameplay, Isekai world-building, etc. I believe that the dev should focus their efforts on fixing some of the pre-existing bugs and improving upon some of the quality-of-life elements of the game to ensure smooth gameplay moving forward. Perhaps even a switch to the 'Ren'PY game engine might help enhance a lot of the quality of life aspects of Isekai Bastard from a gameplay perspective.

Albeit, I am confident that this game has a promising future ahead of it. Bastard-Sama has my full support, and apart from the occasional bugs/quality of life features/enhancements, the product so far is quite favourable in my eyes.

Greatly looking forward to future dev updates, and wish the best of luck to you @Bastard-Sama!

TLDR: Veryyyyyyyyyyyyy Sloooowwwwwwwww...

I've been clicking through the dialog for probably 1,5 hours now. I can't get my time back but I can save yours. There was only one short x rated scene, that isn't really great either. The more I played the more I came to despise this game. It's painfully slow. Every scene has a fade in and fade out which takes 2 seconds. You can't click through the dialog because it's programmed not to allow that.

When I reached free roam I accidentally clicked on the same dialog I'd been through before. I CLOSED THE GAME. I refuse to click through a 2 minute dialog AGAIN.

It's just BAD. The renders are good, but the game is BAD.

game has a insanely high quality from my standpoint. Unique characters and actual personalities in them, a interesting story i want to know more of, and a fun protagonist.

It sure does have its bugs and technical issues as of writing (version 1.1c), like the slow pace, the grind, not a lot of saves, repeating scenes not skippable and the transitions being slow when you seen them a lot of times, BUT unlike a heap of other devs this one acknowledges it, prioritizes the work on these flaws and agrees with bug reports/wishes from the community.

Im in for the long stretch on this one, def worth looking for the future of this one.

Bastard-Sama, keep up the good work my man, this is a gem in the rough from my (depraved) standpoint

Content of the Game seems excellent with high quality renders and mulitple angles even to just general conversations. From what i have played so far i would be giving it 5 stars if it wasnt for the time it take for transitions and conversations you have already seen and taking about 10 minutes to get through them again for no benefit. Game really needs a fast forward or skip button.

Love the themes of the game, developer seems to realy enjoy what is making! Dont be afraid of ntr, girl sharing is different, way better and hotter!
I´m going support the patreon
Best of luck to the developer.

First, I downloaded and tried v.0.1.1 (bugfixed) and the next day sent the dev a few dinars for coffee and good mood. I must admit, that's a rare case for me, so you can tell I really liked this project.

(JUST MY THOUGHT ABOUT USING UNITY ENGINE, YOU CAN SKIP THIS BORING PART:
I have doubts if Unity is the best option for making visual novels. I can't tell, as I've never tried to make a game myself (except for my attempts to create games using game creation engines with ready assets, which doesn't count). What I can tell is that I'm more used to Ren'Py engine games, but maybe Unity gives more opportunities for self-expression, or perhaps better works with a variety of sounds and how they mix. I'm not an expert here (again, I made a 3D scene on Unity with a character that was able to move with basic physics with a third-person camera on terrain with primitive greens and basic lighting with a few light sources. But implementing visual novel games on Unity has never been a great user experience for me, and again, if I compare it to good-old Ren'Py, it provides nice save-load system with tons of slots for different playthroughs, easy-to-use third-party tools to extract data from archives, not to mention the nice universal mod x052, predictable source structure. So, if you know the basic math, you can sometimes fix a bug yourself in the script file and continue playing if the dev made a mistake in the variables, so the scene you're expecting will trigger.)

The story is a G.O.A.T. I mean, literally, not many interesting plots are around, but this one just combines weird stuff with magic and AI with the real life of an average f95 user, at least at some period of it. A succubus with horns is not the kind I visually like, but I believe the idea was to make the MC not appealing, and not only are the horns not really appealing, but come on, the body looks natural, not disgusting. Just a reminder that sometimes we need to spend some time in the gym to be in good shape.

I played the game for about an hour, and without a skip option, I was able to read every line before I got to the next one, even with my finger on the spacebar all the time. But there's nothing wrong with that, because the dialogs are well-structured and fun. With the setting, the narrative is in its place, so the writing deserves a solid 5 laughing perverted nerds out of 5.

The renders look promising, and the overall visuals are nice. Scenes have well-set-up lighting, and the models are detailed. The only thing that caught my eye in one of the few animations I saw so far was the model of the body passing through the grass with no physics, but that's better than models with closed eyes in all animated scenes in some other projects, right?

In my subjective mind, the renders deserve 5 Picassos out of 5. The animations, though, need a bit of polishing, but I wasn't expecting everything to be perfect, like it's a game published by an early 2000s game studio like Rockstar North. For a one-artist game, it also deserves 5 Walt Disneys out of 5, but it's with credit for future improvements.
P.S.: Good luck, Bastard-Sama! I hope you will gain some local fame in F95 community and continue to develop your game. Thanks for sharing with us! Don't get mad at people with unstructured criticism. They likely have nothing else to do in their lives but to try to upset others.
Will wait for future updates!

10/10 renders, the author has put a lot of effort into this game and it really shows. There is a lot of content considering it has just been uploaded yesterday. The story is interesting if you like story. The characters are hot!

I really like the long intro, it sets up the game nicely. without it, it would just be another mindless 3d porn picture game.

Feature I would like added:
A skip button for dialogue you have already seen before

A very good start. I don't remember playing the first version with so much content.
Pros
- beautiful milfs
- interesting plot
- netorase / sharing
Minuses
- the game needs a few improvements QoL
I hope the author stays true to his vision. This game has a lot of potential.

QoL issues are holding it back. The premise is solid, though I do hope the promise of bastardhood actually holds up, as right now it's lacking even basic bitch anal.

Also, fat bastards are a fun archetype, but that usually comes with being physically intimidating as well.

Game plays way too slow at the start with little effort to really catch you. scenes play at a snails pace and there is no way to skip ahead. Feels like there is potential but the start needs alot of work before its worth investing time in

This game has a lot of potential.
It’s clear that the developer has poured a lot of love and care into their work. The story is captivating, the art is well done, and the gameplay is decent—though I’m personally not a big fan of free-roaming unless it’s implemented really well.

That said, there are a few areas that could use improvement. First, there are user experience issues, likely due to the game still being in its early stages. The inability to speed up text, the lack of a walkthrough, or even a detailed task list can make things frustrating at times.

Another area for improvement is the sex scenes. So far, I’ve seen one, and while it was set up nicely, I feel the developer could have spent more time making it longer and more engaging.

All in all, I hope this game continues to improve and eventually reaches its full potential—it’s definitely on the right track. The effort and talent behind this project are undeniable.

Rating the game really highly, I like the intro even if its long its good and its one kind of a game, I hope the game upgrades your character just like in power vacuum in the future but not to extreme end like the mc in it lol.

One thing the Dev should do is change the reading text to stay in same place when next text is added to the line so its easier to read, in its current state its not good as it moves the text as more text appears.
Second thing, Skip button.
Third thing to work a bit on better Animations.

Really cool game thx for sharing.
if you like playing a bad ugly guy, incest and corruption this game is for you. The art of tits is really nice. Animations are "ok" and settings need skip if you already play this game before. Can't wait for next updates.

The pace of the game is EXTREMELY slow. It's ~30 minutes of cut scenes with a 2-frame style, poor Binglish, and no way to play. In combination with great art, it's the most frustrating game in 2025.

My Disappointment Is Immeasurable And My Day Is Ruined
