v9.01.3
Had this one on my radar for a long time. Always wondered why the ratings were so low and I now understand why.
I would like to firstly say that I enjoyed this game and fulfilled my fetish of dominating and having a harem. The visuals are really great and the story is interesting. Love the part about the witch era.
I've conquered 11 girls and got stuck at the mermaid quest (3/8 pearls). I'm not sure how much content there is afterward.
The biggest factor that I think this game lack is the unintuitiveness in the UI and gameplay. It's very confusing at the start. It's not really mentioned that there are multiple timelines in the game and for a couple of minutes you just walk around at the Beginning of Time talking to every NPC without progress. It'd be nice if the travel icon would flash after a certain point so you could see and click it. Speaking of travel icon, it'd be nice having a number on top of each timeline of how many quests there are left to complete or NPC to talk. Just hints to let the player know where to actually look for, since looking in the blind is demotivating and feels more like a chore than an adventure.
The Rewind is a bit odd too, but you can kind of figure out how it works in the end, but not the beginning. In the beginning, it's crucial to know what it does so you can level up, rewind, repeat. I'd suggest highlighting that one too at the beginning so the player gets used to the powers. Having a visual tutorial of what both of these icons does would be very helpful at the start because I honestly don't like to read too long paragraphs of explanations.
One biggest downer that I had was seeing a random girl and not having any interactable suggestion to commit sex when she's 1hp. Even when you transport them into your kingdom, there aren't any sex scenes (other than very fiew) and they just seem like static trophies. I see that there's a "Control" power, which I have no idea what it does and I really wish to have it, but I'm stuck at finding mermaids. I'm guessing it's perhaps a mind control power and I'd really suggest it being given out to the player sooner for more events with each girls.
I encountered a couple of game freeze and thank god the ESC button would help a lot to exit and come back. I think this issue happen when you click to many time/fast on a tile while the enemy is doing it's turn.
Overall, I think it'd be really nice to unlock more sex options for each characters, have them less as static trophies and reinforce the quest system and give more hints. The Game Guide would be helpful if there was an actual walkthrough of who and where to talk to.
But keep in mind that User Experience is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it's not that good.
I wish you the best on improvements! It's almost there.
