RPGM - Katia and Dungeon Quest! [v0.14] [Tentacles san and art]

Going in the right direction and I think it Can get a alot better in the future only time will tell, it's on the right track.

Ps. I'm not fond of female characters with shorter hair styles, but this instance it doesn't bother me.

Art is good but the game so is poorly designed and incomplete that it is just a waste of time. The few quests I have found dont give the slightest hint on how to complete them and the map constantly changing just makes traveling to places you want to go impossible. Also the writing is pretty poor.

Diamond in the rough it is. Really like whole style and atmosphere, but here so many bugs and unnecessarily complicated systems, which is not letting you enjoy the game. For example: you dont get any explanation fhat characteristic do what and how it works here and this is crutial information. Turns out, you cant even trying to, for example, jump to get in Fort, if you agility not hight enouth. I found this by accident, then use skill what increase agility in map for couple of seconds and then you can get to Fort. Without that, the is not even point of interest, where you activate it and mc say something like "ah, cant jump here, not agile enouth". Same goes to perception. You cant even know what you skipping and where, with this kind of system. Also, sleeping broken as fuck. First, i suddenly cant sleep in fishermans vllage anymore, pressing "sleep" just doesnt do anything in random moment. Same goes to any bed later, exept for fort maybe, and you cant play game at this point.
Really hope game will be better in future though and wish def the best. Like the atmosphere and style so far, but it just can be literally unplayable sometimes.

As an update to my prior review, which was a 1-star, I can revise to to a 2-star after well over a year of development.
In versions 0.1 to 0.3, the game was entirely unplayable. I mean that in a literal sense. You could not play the game. It broke at every turn.

Now, the character stays within the borders of the map, I only soft-locked myself once, and there is an actual chance to participate in combat without immediately heading to the game-over screen. Exploring the map still has many pitfalls, but I have never loaded into black screens and there's a bit of adventure in the game.
All that said, the game is still not good, by any stretch of the word. I gave it another go, and was disappointed, but there is such a massive margin of improvement, and the game actually exists in a state that can be considered playable.

So, props to that, I suppose. I still cannot recommend it, but at least there's noticeable progress.

I was excited to play but let down by game-breaking English Translation in a text and story dense game.

Rating: 2/10 (v0.9)
(Will try again in the future and update the rating if and when the English is fixed/translated)

Pros:

• I really liked the art style and the game concept seems solid to build upon with fixes to the issues mentioned in the Cons list this could be a pretty decent game.

Cons:

• One of the worst English Translations I've ever seen, you can't understand anything in the story. I cant even understand the gameplay completely for a story/text dense game this is unacceptable. I'm unable to understand anything in the game which breaks the game completely.
• I couldn't initiate any kind of sex scenes or anything in the 45m-1hr time frame I gave it after trying to play it. I got a nude scene with a zombie that bit her and turned her into a zombie but that's about it.

Other Thoughts:

• Awkward news update about the Russia/Ukraine conflict, not a place for information like that. People often times play games to get away from the "real world". Maybe I'm not being sympathetic to what people are going through it's just a strange place to promote support for any side.

Wow, I just finished playing and I am completely blown away! The graphics are absolutely stunning, each frame is a work of art. The attention to detail in every environment and character is remarkable, making the whole gaming experience visually captivating.

But it's not just about the visuals – the plot story is incredibly well-crafted. The narrative had me hooked from the beginning, with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters are so well-developed, and I found myself genuinely invested in their stories.

Kudos to the developers for creating a game that not only looks amazing but also delivers an engaging and immersive storyline. It's clear that a lot of thought and passion went into every aspect of the game. I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Highly recommended to any gaming enthusiast!

Art is a 7. Art is pretty, Katia's face is a little goofy, but she hot af.
Also backgrounds look pretty.

Game controls, a 5. Good idea, but not so well executed.

Game map, 7. I like them, but they can get a little (much) repetitive and there are some dead ends.

The result would be a wobbly 6. The reason of this is because the game is about 3 years old now, and you can count with one hand the amount of h-scenes in it.
The game just lets you down. For a 0.6 you expect to at least have some kind of gameplay, but all you can really do is move around the caves and work for money (which is useless rn). There are no scenes with the villagers or the mage, and it's just disappointing.

After spending over an hour trying to learn how this game works, I have figured it out, somewhat.
You need to activate your skills to do anything.

• Strength lets you hit things for more than zero
• Agility lets you jump over some gaps and escape combat
• Perception lets you actually play the game and see events
• Willpower does bugger-all
• Charisma lets you talk to two characters that are not hostile

Now, to do any of that, you need to open your menu, scroll to skills, select the one you want. Then you can use it exactly once. This also drains your stamina. Also, if you select strength, it takes your health, too.
You have 8 stamina to start with. Meaning you can do 8 things until you find a bedroll, which is completely random, or eat one of your 5 healing items the game starts you with, and cannot be replenished.
In addition, sometimes you find combat, which is 100% unwinnable. I wish I was exaggerating. A zombie straight up kills you, and you can't escape unless you use a turn to activate agility to run away, which very rarely works. A zombie can also kill you in one turn, so good luck with surviving a turn to fail at running.
Use perception to find a random rat? A literal rat? It can kill you in 3 turns, takes 3 to take down, and you hurt yourself just to have the chance at hurting it. Now it only takes 2 to kill you.
Didn't go first or missed once? Back to the title screen. If you're lucky, it hit for minimum damage, and you can win if you're willing to likely die, all for a partial heal that you get from the loot it guarded. And then get no XP because that's not working half of the time.

This game is broken on so many levels. It's poorly translated throughout, untranslated in other parts, buggy, can soft-lock you, is based entirely on RNG, and has zero instruction on how it works.
I had to do trial-and-error out of spite to get as much as I did.

The art is unique. I can give it that.

ver 0.5
basically no content(there is like 3-5 sex scenes)
junkie controlls
dead ends(situations when you are screwed 100% with sudden game over)
unintuitive (sex scene with zombie, sometimes it triggers and save you, other times its just straight game over)
horrible navigations (you can go in/out same entry point by locations wont be same and they will be filled differently as well(smt completely empty(my guess you need to boost mind or perception, which already is a chore to do)))
political agenda - its cringe to see, even pixeldrain realised that its not the best idea to color site in yellow-blue, due to how subject of "suffering" like to heil a lot, like in nazi germany (although i also think they removed colors due using site to spread videos of ukr torture ru pows but thats a different story)

Outside of interesting art and unique tileset, game is bad.
Main problem is translation. I'm aware what my English has limitations, but at least it isn't on the google translate level. This game deserves an MTL tag. It was clearly machine translated from Russian. To my understanding no one even bothered with proofreading it:
"why did I impose myself on it is a pilgrimage"
"So grandfather really with greetings?"
"Ed I'm a girl I won't wear any shit"
Plural instead of singular etc.

Gameplay is bad. I had to go through the same map and use same exit 5 times to actually go somewhere new. Enemies are ridiculously strong and being defeated by them leads to a game over. You have skills but they have no description.

I honestly struggle to even come up with more topics for review. This game is just bad, there is no reason to download it unless there is a remake.

gut v ery hot and sexy , love art and story very fun to play , would fap again I would like to see future update and where story shall go in the next updates , very good job from creator/s of this , hairstyle maybe different could be better but still great , lots of potential

Interesting artstyle. Nice looking areas. Everything else is pure trash. Pointless enemies because you basically can't beat them. Long ass areas with nothing to do in them, and they are "randomized" areas so you basically have to repeat the annoyingly long walks with nothing to do. No explanation about the skills and how to best use them. Writing and story is meh. And they even managed to keep the options in russian. Almost no content, especially for a game that has been in the works for so long.

Really dig the cartoony artstyle. We really lack those here., and this one is quite well done too. And the sprites are also custom ones instead of the usual shitty RPGMV ones, huge bonus points for that.

Now the gameplay. I have no clue what is happening. Just roamed around a bit and kept getting one shotted because I don't know how to heal my hp. If I get lucky, opponent doesn't attack (or misses his atk? Idk) and I win the fight.

The game is still very early in development, but the art is really well done, both the CG and sprite, so here's hoping for the best.

Not too much content now at all, but I think the art and story shows some promise. Hopefully, the artist can keep updating, and if it develops in the correct direction, this has the potential to be a really good game.
