Kinky Dungeon is just maybe the best H-game ever made.
..If you're a lesbian and really, really love BDSM, that is.
The game is a top down RPG/roguelite. You explore randomly generated dungeon floors, with a variety of (all female) enemies nearly all capable of stripping you and applying bondage to your player. Whether that be ropes, belts, latex, rubber, encasing slime, vines, metal, toys.. You get the idea; the game has quite a variety of ways you can be restrained. The way the game plays, things only progress once you act. Enemies attacks and movements are telegraphed, and you have to position yourself to dodge and attack back.
Now, a lot of H-games struggle with tying together the NSFW content and the actual gameplay. Some games will force you to lose to see it, but not actually be hard enough where you'll really ever organically lose. With that said, I have never seen any game pull it off as well as this one. The bondage system of the game is a genuinely unique system that I haven't seen in any other game-- and I don't even just mean H-games. I mean games in general. The NSFW content of the game isn't just a bonus. It's literally the core mechanic. And it certainly helps that this game is absolutely not a stroll through the park, meaning you can pretty organically lose without throwing yourself at enemies pretending you're losing. And you don't always have to be the victim, either. You can actually tie up and capture enemies, and I've heard that there is an area you can access later in a run that functions as your own prison for the enemies you've taken captive.
You can also customize a lot of the difficulty to your liking-- or remove/lessen some of the kinks you aren't as interested in. Difficulty settings combined with a perks system (that includes negative and positive perks) means you can seriously customize the game to your preferred experience. Personally, I like to ramp up the difficulty to a reasonable degree.
One of the debatably best parts of the actual NSFW content of the game is that.. You can't actually lose. That might sound confusing at first; but the game will never, ever say "You lost! Try again." The lose condition is when you are wrapped in so many layers of bondage, being kept as one of the in-game factions pets, that there is literally no chance of escape. You only lose when you, the player, give in, accept your helplessness, and start a new run. That said, something I also love is that a genuine softlock doesn't actually happen that often. There's almost always a way to escape your captors and continue your run. Sometimes that means submitting to your captors so they go easy on you, and sometimes that means hiding in a corner using lockpicks on your layers of binds, hoping to god the sound of you picking locks and moaning as restraints rub up against you doesn't attract unwanted attention.
And as a beautiful cherry ontop, there is a pretty extensive character customization system. Maybe its not the best character customization system ever, but it certainly is the best character customization I've seen in any H-game I've played. You can honestly get quite creative with it, once you learn its ins and outs. Nothing beats character customization when it comes to immersing yourself in the game. The game is also still in development, and more customization options do get added from time to time.
Now, I will say, I cant truly say the game is perfect in every way. The menus can be obtuse, and the game can feel janky at times.. But I can forgive these things, considering the game is still in active development. If I was forced to pick one true complaint, it's that this games learning curve is insanely steep. This game is packed full of such an insane amount of content, and I don't even just mean the bondage. There's classes, spell trees and skill trees, goddesses, faction relations, NPC relations.. I could not go over everything this game has in this review. There's so much to keep bringing you back, and I keep learning new things about this game the more I play. It's a genuinely fun experience even if you aren't playing with a hand in your pants. ..Oh, yeah, it does help that the game is entirely playable with one hand. But, really. Despite saying that the learning curve is a complaint, I honestly love it, and love how I feel like the skill ceiling and the 'knowledge ceiling' is infinitely high. If you enjoy that kind of complexity in your games (and you like bondage,) your new favorite game is about to be a lesbian BDSM H-game.
Give the developer some love-- and by that I mean money. She seriously deserves it.
..Oh, and if you're a little bummed out by the fact theres technically not any overt sexual content besides a few vibrators.. You will be pleased to know this game has full modding support, and a growing collection of mods you can find in the games official Discord.
