Others - Kinky Dungeon [v5.4.60] [Ada18980]

Hey for once I'm leaving a review because I like a game, instead of it being utter garbage. I'm not reallly sure it deserves the 5 stars, but my standards have fallen so far that here we are.

So since, for once, this isn't some RPGM game (Despite what the tag says) I don't really need to talk about the story or (lack of) translation.

This game is built on situations and scenarios that emerge. Not "oh oops I accidentally got stuck in a wall" but rather this is a game that despite you trying to win, you will get a bunch of fun bondage stuck on you. That's great. It's, amusingly, what I was hoping for out of Lillith's Throne way back when I was naive and hopeful.

So you go and explore looking for loot and the key to the exit, dodge enemy attacks, accidentally pull too many and then get stuck with things on you. Then you end up with too many, it spirals out of control and you end up taken to jail. Where you might consider just restarting - but it's not the end, you can almost always get out if you try hard enough.

So pros:
The artwork system. Yeah the art itself is pretty cute, but all of the gear will show up on your character and layered on top. This is really nice, and I like it a lot.
It isn't lose to lewd. I mean you can do that, obviously, but you don't need to. You'll lose without trying to, don't you worry.
A ton of customization - from your character's appearance, to your starting class and equipment to all kinds of settings you can turn on/off.
It has my favorite gimmick of toys locked behind chastity belts. Both the teasing/denial kind as well as the forced orgasm kind.

Cons:
When you do inevitably end up with stuff locked on you, there isn't much else to it. Even while you're completely locked up with a ton of gear, they don't really do much with it - I'd like to see them teasing you more, maybe some more emphasis on the stat systems like the submissiveness stats where the NPCs train you, etc.
While there's a lot of different flavors of locking you up, it's honestly lacking a bit of variety - everyone is just trying to make you as immobile as possible and maybe they'll toss a toy in for good measure. Tying back to the same first point, I'd like to see more immobile things when you get jailed. Maybe they lock you down onto the bed, or strap you on a wooden horse, maybe the factions that prefer the pleasure toys strap you to a sybian or a fucking machine for a bit.

All in all though, I like the game a lot. It's quite enjoyable to end up in a bad spot because you messed up and now you have to deal with the mechanical consequences of that.

Fun roguelike with a fair amount of depth in its mechanics. And also bondage. Lots of it. Probably don't play this if you wanna play as a dude.

Updates are landing constantly (Like just about every day), good variety of builds to try out. (Fire archery is still OP till Ada patches it xD)

Character customization is pretty good, and while the learning curve can be a bit steep, there is pretty damn near always a way to continue playing without restarting no matter how hopeless it might look at first glance.

Plenty of room to grow, but very much like this project so far and hope to see it continue.

Kinky Dungeon Is a rare bondage game exactly because it is an actual game with mechanical depth and vast amounts of actual bondage that is visible on the player character.
Game plays like roguelike, where your goal is to reach the deepest depths of the dungeon while not getting completely bound and imprisoned.
Game has no hard game overs, because it is up to the player to decide when they are in a situation that is impossible to escape.
Start can feel daunting and unfair at first, but spending enough time with the game learning its system and mechanics one can start unraveling the potential it has within.
Highly customizable starting setup with perks, spells, classes and difficulty that can be tailored for an easy going self bondage enthusiast run to a hard core and difficult playthrough.
The player character can be customized with given options to clothing, hair and fashion accessories including fashion bondage. Coloring and matching with current coloring system can be difficult, but creative minds are able to make quite unique looking characters. Game currently only features visible nipples, while the bottom part is coming eventually.

The amount of Bondage and layering in the game one can be bound with is vast. Hundreds of options including but not limited to cuffs, ropes, wrappings, latex, rubber, metal, ballgags, muzzles, masks, blindfolds, Kigu mask, heels, armbinders, legbinders, boxbinders, straitjackets, yokes, petsuits and binding dresses. The amount of bondage one can be put and layered in with xray function to see below rubber and wrappings is staggeringly amazing.

Game has its rough edges with some placeholder assets and features which are still being cleaned and developed, but that is to be expected with the robust amounts of mechanics game offers.

I personally consider Kinky dungeon a game with massive potential.
Huge oasis in the bondage game desert filled with sand grains of subpar rpgmaker and low effort games where the only bondage is just a defeat cg image or short looping animation.

I, a lurker for years came out to write this review and tell you to buy this game!

Edit:
Just to clarify. Game DOES NOT HAVE sex, futa or males. You can go fully nude. Just bear in mind Kinky Dungeon currently has nipples, but no visible bottom bits (subject to change).

Review for v5.0.7

Like the person below me, I also bought this game before it was even posted here and I've also played it a fair amount.

Summary:
It's a roguelike with bondage. It's very good at being a roguelike with bondage.

Good:
All the bondage is very neatly shown on the character. The graphics are well done and detailed, and do really cover every single piece of equipment. The bondage equipment system is layered and in-depth, literally as you can get equipped with multiple layers of restraints. The game manages to evade the trap of "lose to win" by creating situations where you will get equipped with bondage, as well as cursed chests and even bondage items with special situational boosts. I can't stress enough how good of a bondage game this is.
Additionally, the game is also fun if you decide to play it tactically, with a bunch of skills to mix and match. Stuff from rogue/stealth gameplay, burn everything with fire, cover everything in glue, tie everyone up, etc... It also allows you to keep saves after each floor, in case you want to enjoy a floor less tactically without losing progress.

Bad:
The combat is very click spammy. Enemies have a lot of health, and you have to move to other tiles to evade their attacks which are heavily telegraphed. In early levels your stamina is low, so it's a lot of wait-move-wait-move-attack-move-wait-move-wait and so on. The game can also be unforgiving, if you get surrounded by to many enemies there isn't a way to crawl back from it. Fighting with a couple bondage items works, fighting while everyone keeps equipping stuff doesn't. Though I guess that's part of the fetish really, and gets better as you unlock more skills.
There also are some systems that aren't fleshed out yet (as if this game is early access or something). The faction system is hard to manage, relations with the gods are shallow, and there are some clunky NPC mechanics.
I should also mention that this game doesn't have long descriptions or sex scenes. I don't care about it, but you might.

Conclusion:
Good game if you like bondage. Very underrated, seeing that it has been developed for a couple years and only now showed up here. It's perfect at what it does, and the development is very consistent, so it's certainly worth five stars. Buy it on Itch, it's cheap.

I bought this game before it was even posted here and I've played it a fair amount.

The way the dev has managed to incorporate bondage into the roguelike gameplay is genuinely impressive. It's fun just to actually just play with the systems in game and descend through the floors playing seriously - there's actual tactical connotations to being tied up and ingame decision making that emerges from that. And if you're here for the kink? You'll probably enjoy that too. There's definitely a lot more that can be added to make the gameplay even more engaging, but for where it is in development it's excellent.

I'd straight up recommend a purchase if you can afford it.
