Unity - Lord Goblin [v0.37.0] [BBBen and his Big Brass Band]

Cleverly made interesting use of the resource management resources, good structure can't wait for more content, the romance is a bit obtuse at this point and have a few bugs here and there but I can see all that improving in future builds

New art looks really bad
The game is cool but it lives or dies on the art and the new art makes it absolutely pointless.
Its a shame when this happens to a game.
The old art looks abit janky but in a fun and arousing way and i really liked it.
The gameplay was a standard manegment game, a bit slow but nice.

Great game, good thread. Wish there was more content, only downside.
Great balance of management and lewd content. I am a particular hound for penetrative action so a bit disappointed there is not as much of that currently.
The story for each character is great and the voice acting for each is top notch.
Will be a 5 star once completely released.

Fun concept with a lot of potential! Also the character designs are great, and the voice acting is superb!

It is however far from a finished product. But the potential for a very good game is there!

The UI is pretty good and definitely high quality, same with writing, but everything feels so shallow that I don’t even know where to start.

Sex scenes are:

• Pretty basic.
• Reused a lot (for example, when you punish a girl by spanking her, the brown-haired girl’s ass (which looks pretty petite) is the same size as the thick blonde’s or Az’ea’s).
• There just aren’t that many of them. (Based on the number of scenes, if you told me this was the first release, I’d believe you and think it was decent or average.)

If I had to play this game without cheats, I’d give up after 15 minutes of micromanaging. After two hours, I’ve seen maybe 10-12 scenes total, and only about 3-4 of them felt completely unique.

In my opinion, what this game lacks most is sexual content.
There’s a lot to upgrade, but it only changes stats. You could say the game is pretty vast, but it’s as shallow as a puddle. I wouldn’t replay it until it’s fully completed.

I played few hours and quit. We can do only 3 actions per day, and we have 4 girls and a ruined house with many rooms that needs to be repaired.
We don't even have time to pay attention to girl, day finished...
The daily problems of the settlers give absolutely
contradictory options, we either increase the love of one girl but lose the love of another and something else valuable. In order to increase their love or obidience towards you, you will probably need to play this for a year. Then,after two weeks earl will add taxes.,100 per week.In 3 gaming weeks i lost all money,food,half of solders, and didnt increase any love.
Sex scenes are primitive and lacking variety.

Absolutely amazing game, really nice mechanics, not too grindy imo, and really really nice art!

At this point it really just needs to be developed fully, once that's the case it will be an easy 5 stars.

However my one critique of the game is that it doesn't have the option to explore or do things a bit more kinky, NOT TALKING ABOUT NTR PLS DONT ADD ANY NTR OF GOBLIN LORD GETTING CUCKED PLSSSS

however it would be nice to have the option to have some extra customization and fetish content such as some minor customization of the maids like body hair, piercings, tattoos, nothing over the top but just a few extra features or possible story points would be nice.

But really at this point the biggest thing holding back the 5 star rating is just the game being unfinished, I haven't fully caught up with where it currently is to avoid being disappointed finishing an unfinished game so I really hope the game is complete asap, or at least has major updates soon

It's an actual game with great scenes. The art is great, and the animations are of very high quality as well. The gameplay is simple, but complete. This game stands out because the management is easy to understand and builds up to scenes naturally. There are an okay amount of scenes, but they're all great so I don't mind the lack of them.

There are features that haven't been completely integrated, and as of right now the game is pretty grindy. I found the game to get boring after awhile because of a lack of events. You'll get to a point where you need a certain resource to upgrade, but to get it you need to wait for a random event to occur, this is frustrating. There is one notable bug where if you skip through dialogue too quickly during a portal scene your game will crash, this isn't too annoying because the game autosaves everyday.

Overall I like this game a lot, it is fun and looks fantastic. The downside of this game is its lack of things to do once you reach the middle of your playthrough.

Game feels very quality over quantity. Writing is excellent. Voice acting is very good. Art is original and great.

First time playing but for two years there's not that many scenes. Need cheat codes to play. The lack of quantity even reflects in the game design. There is not a lot of moves you can make.

No stomach bulges, which should be added. Game doesn't crash but it will freeze on an empty dialogue box in a few scenarios.

Add stomach bulges.

Rating 4.5/5 for the potential and the art and writing.

Played 0.30 version

The game is somewhat in his overall gameplay finished. Now it needs to be filled with more events, story and solutions. Its nearly two years in development.

For overall story: You are (goblin) lord and you try to rule your fiefdom. You has a four girl harem. You have many random events who try to fuck your progress up. You have somehow a other noble who wants to cuck you or wants to kill you if you dont pay your tribute. You can build some houses... but not really with event effects (yeah, yeah. Grind, to make less grind, to grind again to buy items you cant use yet.)

One girl has a nearly finished route and there is a story event... that is it for the finished gameplay.

Many things are teasered but since nearly the start of the game.

At the moment i give an average. I am sure when the game is finished it can get a good. If the lategame content and story matches up it can get excellent. But not at the moment.

I have discovered that I love management games, and this one is special because of its EXELENT voice acting for the 5 characters that are voice acted. the number of erotic scenes in this one is a little chronically low and it took an extremely long time to get the only sex scene the rest of them are just hand jobs and stuff. I like managing my kingdom despite meany of the events being repetitive and the management unintuitive and grinding the only sex scene tedious so definitely a game you should use some cheats from kosgames once its overstaying its welcome its going on steam witch is cool I guess though I wonder if that's why the game is so restrained about the sex all in all good management ok porn I like the story.

Decent (although short for now) management gameplay with clear ideas to be implemented later, fun and decently written (even if not completely unique) storyline and characters. Animation not too bad either just needs more of them, the Voice Acting is better than it has any right to be with each character feeling very unique and different with some nice comedy added in too.
Great start of a game.

[v. 0.24.2]
A very competently made game, with well-written scenes, and themes that go together.

The experience of the lead dev really shows in the pacing and writing. The game's opening sets the scenario very efficiently, and the game does a good job of quickly getting you into the swing of the training/managing gameplay, while leaving room to build the story up as the game goes. The dev does a really good job in creating characters that are built on obvious archetypes, but are built-up enough to have their personality weave into the gameplay- and story-interactions. The game also features some high-quality voice-acting for the genre.
***

The character-art is obviously excellent, though we'll see if the ambition of focusing on animated scenes costs a lot of development-time.

On the gameplay side, things are simple, and kind of rigid, but the game still has an element of skill to it's management. The biggest problem I have with the gameplay, on a very quick look, is that even though the cross-section view is beautiful, it makes it pretty hard to parse information from it. It's not like the view is super-large, but when the information about all the room-upgrades is frontloaded at the start of the game, it can be hard to get a handle on all of the rooms, and plan out your upgrades well. There's a risk that players might even miss some of the smaller areas, so there should probably be some improvements to the visibility of room-upgrades in the final game.

(There's also a bug with the current version, that prevents you from selecting a room for cleaning, if you select one, then cancel that selection)
***

The game is still kind of early in the making, so plenty of content is still missing, but this is looking to be a very fun, light, well executed porn-game.
If you've played the dev's previous games, I guess you could argue that it hits on very similar themes, just ported into a more visually appealing form.

Considering it still hasn't gone to full release, I like the way the management mechanic. Although it is still rough around the edges, I love the backstory and development of the Goblin and Az'ea. Hoping for more scenes of the other girls, and usage of the clothes items bought at the shop. Also, managing the sweeping is a bit hard since it's hard to offset by simply assigning one maid to deal with it, unlike laundry. Looking forward to harem/multiple girls scenes with goblin. Also, there are a lot of lines that are not voiced.

Interesting at first, but quickly gets tedious and unrewarding.

The gameplay is okay.
Visually game looks pretty nice, quite clean, mechnically not janky.
Girls are authentic and sexy.

Game becomes tedious very quickly, because tasks are really repetitive and screen transitions (especially between the time of day) are TERRIBLY SLOW.
Game needs better stats menus, otherwise too much time is just wasted switching between characters/buildings/places to see the numbers they have/require. There must be a way to show stats/costs/numbers better.
Grind is real and it feels very unrewarding.
The number of sexual scenes and personal interactions is very small, there's really too little of that for this to be a good XXX game.

Better than most, but still far from perfect - 6/10.
I do see, however, how this game can be made into something really great.

(Game is in 'v0.23.1' version during this review)

Without a doubt, it is a promising game.
The mechanics of the maids and making decisions at all times is really cool.
However, it seems that the Dev is more concerned with limiting the game to different versions than focusing on the content, we have several examples of good games destroyed by poor project management... anyway...

As of Now Lord Goblin is a game that oozes Talent, Visuals, and without sounding to corny Passion in its Hscenes Story and Main Girls that unfortunately is stuck in as of now a clunky and slow management sim not to mention a bit buggy that is still worth a try a watch and I think you should give it a try.

There are few Porn games I can say just by playing them money is being used every second, Screenshots of the game don't do it justice and before playing it other reviewers didn't seem to really explain that how sex scenes are animated with smoothness followed by the addition of each girl having talented VAs make each scenes so much better. Whether it is a sex scene or hearing one the girls backstory. Time and money is clearly being dedicated to each moment of this game from drawing to rigging it for movement and voice direction. It's safe to say this isn't just some guy with some free time messing around with Honey Select and RPGMaker and throwing it out into the world for a quick buck. Just saying gotta respect BBBen and the dedication.

I've seen a lot of people talk about the slow grind or how its nearly impossible to upgrade places because resources are random. so use cheats and fair enough i did it for my first playthrough. It's on my second i realized just how little the game makes clear. Please if you take anything from this review USE SPELLS THEY ARE CRUCIAL FOR THE START. Not only does the game never guide you to use Az'ae and her spells which at the start help with marinating your girls' energy/gaining authority and Soldiers .How during play testing no one thought to direct players to such an important part of the game is wild. Besides that the game needs to ease people into management. It doesn't tell players to upgrade the barn first as its the cheapest upgrade and will let you grow food meaning all your basic needs can be maintained without worrying about reaching 0. Honestly the first month should be skewed in your favor either with better or maxed starting resources or have better events that only bring positives.

Listen there's Three stats your girls have Love Lust and Obedience and Obedience beats both easily it unlocks the majority of Sex Scenes. fair enough but its the only stat that is use events somehow having a loving and lustful maid is useless compared to one that's obedient. Each girl will randomly tell you they wont work that day for reasons and the only way to make them work no matter what is to have a 100 obedience stat. so much for just one stat Love and Lust are never used during events and seem to be WIP or just not thought out as much as they should be given the game wants you to romance these girls. Have Events or the Earl or something test your love stats and lust stats make each stat feel as important enough that i wanna see 100 for each girl not just because.

if you've played a BBBEN game you know theres a time limit to most of these which sounds lame but given as of right now there isn't really a reason to build your kingdom other than the hot big tittied goth witch told you so is kinda apparent given that theres little scenes and story to do makes sense to wrap this story give about 2-3 ingame months to seduce your girls, raise an army you know make it short and sweet.

You're gonna be doing the same routine over and over each day its the fun that comes from managing it's not the sexiest thing to focus on an update but this game is gonna need alot more events each time or its gonna be boring really fast there's only so many times i can get the same peasants are angry do you kick them our or bribe them. or oh no demons are here what do. Should really consider having events tied to your girls like infighting becoming horny making there cooldown reset. Recurring events should take your girls stats and story progress into consideration.

Listen I've rambled long enough at the end of the day the porn aspects of the game are great so much goes into making this story the girls and making you want to see what happens next but it's stuck in a messy management sim that needs alot of tuning for it to be enjoyable instead of being just meh or annoying. I mean it made me wanna write all this and give some money so hey it's gotta be doing something right. it's good but it could be better.

The art is rlly good and but the amount of scenes isn't great and by the time the main story cutscenes dry up around the first month there is not much point to continuing. Updates are slow and the biggest gripe is how you can easily get softlocked if you choose the wrong upgrade since (for ex) the ability to recruit more villagers is locked behind a requirement of 200 villagers. So you essentially have to wait for an random event(it is a very low chance of happening I played 30 more in-game days and had no event to increase villagers) to potentially gain enough to reach the requirement. There is no other way to do increase that value. Then it cascades into preventing progression from other buildings which would allow you to recruit other types of villagers for other buildings and unlocking new scenes and so on. Needs some heavy resource balancing in terms of costs and everything and much more content in order to be really worthwhile, but overall, solid foundation just needs some more work rn.

This adult game's got some serious potential. Like the voice acting is top-notch, really sucks you into the story, and the artwork is breathtaking. But yeah, gotta admit, the gameplay can feel a bit like a grind at times. Good thing there are cheats to help you breeze through the tough spots if you're into that. and let's talk about the characters! They're so hot, like you really get invested. Overall, I'm totally hooked on this game. sucks that the updates are so slow

Love the game so far.

Great sex scenes and the voice acting is a great addition.

With use of the cheat codes it doesn't seem so grindy

Can't wait to see more development on this game and future works from the developer
