Unity - Completed - Lewdest Labyrinth [v1.3] [mminitdev]

A little mixed about this game. It's a pretty nice and simple dungeon crawler with an interesting combat system that nonetheless gets a bit long on the tooth due to very imbalanced combat design and okay-ish porn.

First of all, it's a proper battle-fuck sort of game, so that's a massive plus for me. I hate games that make me lose on purpose to see the porn. The artstyle is pleasant, but the variety isn't all that high and there's not that much to get excited about. Lots of tentacles, some humanoids, some slimes and other oddities. The bigger issue though is that a notable number of the "lust" attacks enemies do that have CGs aren't really that erotic. There's an enemy that's a group of crows, and their "erotic" CG attack is... pecking at the player character. Huh? The moans do improve the experience greatly, though. There's also grab attacks that require you to mash buttons, which is a mechanic I personally really hate (your porn game should not make me consider setting up macros) but they also do a sizeable amount of damage so you want to mash out of them as quickly as you can, and thus you won't see them for long. They also all strip your character, which brings me to the next section.

The combat is very interesting early on but really falls flat around the middle of the dungeon. First of all, you have two bars - health and LP. LP is your "mana", and you use it to cast certain spells, but the higher it is the more damage you take, you cannot perform physical attacks if it gets too high, and according to the developer, the more grab attacks you will see. I cannot really confirm or deny this, but I'll talk about that later.
The combat is stance based, you have a normal stance, an offensive one that boosts damage but makes you take more damage but gain less LP, a defensive one that boosts your defense at the expense of the other two and a lewd stance that makes you get more LP and gain some automatically every turn. There's also a "naked" stance that acts similarly to a permanent lewd stance. You cannot switch stances while you are naked and the only way to get your clothes back is to use one of the limited healing items that you can refill at a save point. You get EXP for winning battles and you can use this to get new attacks or passive skills that usually apply to specific stances, and you can also upgrade the clothes you find around the dungeon. There are some buffs and debuffs, and there seems to be a decent complexity to the gameplay, but...

Let me preface this by saying that I do not understand why people find the combat in this game difficult. As long as you do not run from battles, realize that there is a way to spend your EXP in the escape menu - which is also where you can save, but only at the washbasins, and the game fails to explain both of those things properly - and understand a few key mechanics, the combat becomes insanely formulaic and had I not done some testing I'd be using the same strategy for nearly every enemy from around floor 4 to the end of the game.

I think the fundamental problem with the game is that being stripped prevents you from using your stances and clothes skills, and thus removes about 75% of the complexity of the combat system. Grab attacks are way too common, especially in the second half of the game, and you can easily burn through your heals trying to get your bearings getting grabbed over and over. However, being naked means you practically always have access to your healing skill, because you regen basically as much LP as it costs every turn. And you can outheal almost everything in the game. The second fundamental problem is that other than maybe 3 enemies that have "combos", or attacks that they always do one after another, enemy AI is entirely random. You can get stripped first turn in combat and then once again next turn once you burn a heal. There's no way to plan your moves around enemy behavior (other than those 3 aforementioned enemies). Sure, the game manual explains you can guard to prevent grab attacks, but why would I do that when it's random? I need to get damage in eventually, and I'll just get grabbed then. Additionally, the buffs and debuffs you get are barely worth the turn spent on casting them. They last forever, but the turns spent setting up are turns the enemy can use to strip you or put another status effect that will take turns to deal with.
In the end, there are two effective strategies:
1. Stay in offensive stance and just spam the shit out of your hardest hitting attacks. If you get hurt or your LP gets too high, switch to defensive stance and spam your healing spell.
2. Just stay naked. Don't worry about your LP. Your physical attacks aren't blocked in naked stance, and as long as you keep casting spells that cost LP, it shouldn't get too high. Just heal every time it feels like you can get killed, and otherwise just use your LP-costing debuffs and spam your normal attack. You can outheal everything in the game, especially if you use your attack-lowering debuff.

Option 2 is somehow more boring and slow than option 1, but because enemy LP damage gets so high later on in the game, and you really have no options to lower your LP a large amount without burning heals, I ended up using option 2 out of sheer convenience for most of the game, because I was so tired of using a heal just to get stripped a turn later.

Overall though, I think this is a lukewarm recommendation, even if only because it's a rare game that integrates the porn into the core gameplay without relying on fail states. If you enjoy dungeon crawlers, this is a pretty pleasant experience. I just hope the dev gets better playtesters next time, because there are like 10 of them listed in the credits and somehow none of them noticed the glaring issues with action economy. Definitely tons of potential and I will be following the dev's next game.

A wonderful diamond in the rough. It may not boast the technical details, story, playtime or even convenience, but the author had his heart in the right place. He had a vision, a taste, and he pulled off a game that does exactly what it intends - an erotic dungeon crawler.

First of all - the taste. The protagonist, the artstyle... it's just perfect. No loli, no udders, no bloody anime, nothing disgusting, just a very cartoonish, exceptionally cute female protagonist. You hardly ever see such games, most pander to the lowest common denominator and have practically no visual taste(or often hide it behind mild anime or some color grading), but this is a straight up "american cartoon"-like visual style.
Furthermore, the situations for various animations and sprites are also... delicate. They aren't always vanilla, they explore a variety of approaches, particularly ryona, for which I am extremely grateful. But they are not disgusting. None. No disfigurement, no cumshots, no grotesque ecstasy. Nothing utterly tasteless that japanese games do. Again, it's immersive and pertinent to the artstyle, you get what you would expect.

Next - the technical idea of the gameplay is also very well presented. Sure, a masochistic lewd girl isn't exactly a new subject, but this game does the theme justice. This isn't some succubus eater, you don't go around screwing everything. But you do get off on lewdness and on pain, you can build around erotic progress(easymode) or basic combat(annoying due to constant, and I mean CONSTANT cloth tearing). It's fun to build the character and progress, and that's not something every game can pull off.

The combat may get repetitive, but the overall difficulty is low. Nothing skill based, no QTEs, nothing to learn per say, no in-depth mechanics. Everything can be grinded to obscenity, healing is virtually infinite as long as you don't get oneshotted. Like I said - the clothes are a bit of a nitpick, because the jap games at least have variations of state, partial tear etc, here it's all or nothing. And "all" can be gone on the first turn. It's just tedious to try to build around a particular set of armor or spend time rotating them and cleaning yourself, when it's easier to simply bulldoze everything naked and baked. Also the predictable button mashing also gets old, even though there are ways to make it easier - they are semi-endgame.

Ultimately - it's a very unique game, one that is definitely worth to put at the top shelf of erotic material that you can absolutely recommend to anyone without looking weird or tasteless.

Its an excellent game with good gameplay. The graphics do seem a little dated, but it is still sexy. The gameplay seems a little impossible at first, but it becomes easier very quickly. If you like games with not a lot of story, this is for you.

A fun dungeon crawler with a nice battle system and good 2D art.

I usually don't touch anything that doesn't contain animations, but the presentation of those 2D static images are so well made that I'm able to ignore that.

The combat can be pretty hard throughout the game. When I first played it I went with easy. Lately I give the normal difficulty a try and it works out quite well if you know what you do. If you still have trouble, the game comes with a readme file that delivers some tips.

The game shows how important sounds are: Hearing the girls moans together with some wet slapping sounds make such a difference instead of just watching a picture float by in silence.

There is a gallery, but I think you unlock it once you finished the game. At least I think you need to do this. I deleted my entire save folder, since I wanted to start over collecting all the outfits (which all look nice and actually adds to the gameplay and not just the visuals).

The h-scenes get better a bit after the first floors. The first ones are rather just teasing images. Which is fine.

I'd say give Lewdest Labyrinth a try. I don't know why, but it's so hard to find decent h-games, where you don't need to loose to see some lewds and where the lewds are actually connected to the gameplay.

I'm looking forward to the next installment, which is currently in the works!

The hentai art in this is good and really well drawn, but the game itself is even better.
Highly addictive, with lewd stuff that's actually connected to the gameplay.
Great little dungeon crawler, highly recommended.
And no, it's not hard and you don't need to grind at all. Just select the easier difficulty level, which is well balanced imo.

Great game , I really like the integration of battle with lewdness. Not many games are able to pull it off. Game is also on the harder side one has to think about actions when fighting. The only gripe I have are traps that tear off clothing and make it so you can't go into stance

1/5 - DNF; Didn't get me off

TL;DR - This game is a mobile Sakura Dungeoun without the H scenes.

I'm basing this review off of the first 4 levels. I didn't get past the boss on the 4th floor because he required grinding.

The game is a clone of the old Might & Magic games, but harshly simplified, like a mobile game. Floors are small, combat is simple. But the combat is hard, and on normal mode required grinding (for a first time player at least).
There was no porn. The only erotic things that happen is enemies use tease attacks during battle. They don't rape you if you lose. You don't rape them if you win.
Maybe there are H scenes later on, but I doubt they're good enough to warrant the grinding to reach them.


+ Art

- Combat occasionally requires button mashing

I'm sorry but I can't agree with the 4+ raters here.
To begin with the game is in a 802x632px window which can't be maximized.
The animations are just over a few keys, the monsters spawn after a pre-set number of steps you travel, so do you want to grind? Sure run around in circles.
The gameplay and graphics are similar to Eye of the Beholder from 1991.
Last I checked it's 2021 now.
No cute hentai images can compensate for a 30 year gap in technology.

Rated: 2/5
Based on v1.3

Turnbased combat Dungeon Crawler Game, with H-scene during combat, My Favorite!
3D and Dungeon crawler type games, Is a perfect combination.
Watchout for traps, Choose your traits. The gameplay is absolutely fun, Use your enemy's lust or your combat skill, strategic!
The main protagonist design is simple and smooth, plus There's some clothes variation to choose from.
The story is not too much. But Ok!

Started playing the alpha and got hooked. Although there is a lack of h-scenes it makes up for in in gameplay. There are a few h-scenes and a gallery should unlock after beating the final boss, mine didn't for some reason but i'll try again since it has replay value. Overall i would highly recommend playing.

I came into this game thinking it would be a repetitive dungeon crawler, with gameplay similar to games like Fools of the Philosopher's Tower. However, I was immediately surprised to find that the game was in first person. The camera has four pre-programmed directions to look (front, left, back, right), with the left and right arrow keys cycling through them.
Part of my expectation was correct, however: the gameplay did quickly become repetitive. The stance-based combat system added some variety, but most of the time I sweeped enemies by just sticking to the offensive stance, going defensive whenever I needed to heal. The wide variety of enemies kept things fairly fresh, but their movesets were often very similar (one physical attack, one lust attack, one grab attack, and maybe a stat changer).
The art in this game is by no means bad, but can seem a little flat at times. Compared to art in other games with detailed backgrounds, meticulous shading, and a unique style, this game's art falls short. And with each scene getting just one picture, it really feels lacking. However, this game does have a lot of scenes and enemies, meaning there's plenty of material, regardless of how mediocre it may be.
Overall, if you're looking for a game to kill some time in a classic dungeon crawl style, but also want to see some sexy sketches, then this game is for you. It's an attractive time-killer that has some good moments, but don't expect any sort of story, innovative mechanics, or fancy art.

A very good game with very good graphics for those who like pixel versions of games.
It has many animations.
It can be played with one hand.
It has long fights with boss enemies, which require good strategy to win.
The traps are the best.

Hook: this dungeon crawler has in-depth combat, which makes it fun to play, and horny monsters, which make it fun to lose.

Best: Some rather nice 2d art with a wide variety of monsters to 'encounter.' The gameplay is deep and fleshed out, with 2 major playstyles (fighting and seducing). The girl (I think her name is 'Sunny'?) has a cute VA. She is drawn with a pretty hot body, too.

Worst: Somewhat hard to play with one hand (since it has a stronger focus on game play). 1st time play-though can be difficult (but on my 3rd play-though I died 0 times). Monster 'finishes' are almost always external, rather than internal, which is a miss for me.

Score: 7.5 / 10

Personally one of the best games I've played. Really brings out what a game is and not just a visual novel where u click to continue. Could use improvments, like alot, but the game is fairly new and is promising. If the dev is reading this, add HP bar to enemies pls >.>

Dungeon crawlers - my favourite time wasters. I really enjoyed this one. No plot, just complete all levels. Gameplay is good and well balanced, difficulty is OK (at the end game was a bit too easy, but on the other hand if I was killed after hour of gameplay with no saves I would be pretty pissed). Images are really nice, focused rather on tentacles. The porn in this game is rather part of mechanics, addition to crawling game. Don't expect game you can play with one hand. Overall for a game made by single enthusiast outcome is great.

P.S. I'm really glad this game is finally out. There is only bunch of "western" games on the board which were not developed with patreon business model and instead of paying for promises you can pay equivalent of few beers for a finished product.
