v0.2.10a review

WOW, what a game. First of all the graphics and animations are amazing. Crisp and animated with a blend of real life pictures for the background. The only time they ever threw me was the ex quartermaster in the library that sells the gems, using a motorized scooter instead of a wheelchair, it just felt odd. Otherwise every single aspect of the visuals really strikes home.

There's a lot of game play mechanics at work here, and while I wouldn't say it's the best game, for a lewd game it's top 1% of actual game play mechanics. With the battle mechanics, to the attack customization through gems, to the free form roaming in a dangerous other world later in the game, there's just a lot to do when you get into free play time.

All of this is structured around a time clock that's ALWAYS ticking. You may want to try to level up your strength or intelligence, but you also need to work to gain money, so you've got a delicate balancing act before the next scripted event happens to push you along. This all happens to keep the game from feeling grindy, as time waits for no man, and you must make choices and then live with them.

I would say that the only criticism I have with the game is that each day is divided into morning, evening, and night... but really it's only morning and evening, because with one or two exceptions for scripted events, the night time is basically just 'go back to your room and sleep.' This feels like an unecessary step, and it could just be 'morning' and 'evening' instead with the sleep being automatic unless there's a scripted event. Likewise I wish that if the night was going to be available you'd be allowed to read a book or train, or work in the bar. Maybe limit night options, but don't give us none, ya know?

Anyways, the fappability of this game is fairly low, as the game is sexual, and sexy, but also not overly burdened with a lot of constant lewd scenes, instead of focusing on story and plot. Personally I don't think this is bad, but someone looking for a quick wank might have a problem with it.

Anyways, having just completed chapter 2, I think this is an A+ game and one that everyone on f95 should at least check out.

Captivating, well written story. All the characters have their distinct and funny personalties. The story is filled with well thought out hints, that will make the player think and when figured out get a better idea as to where the story is going. AND a lot of funny pop culture references. Great game! Keep up the awesome work Droid!

Just recently found this game and am very surprised. It's well put together and the story is very engaging. I have a soft spots for fantasy/magical games, so this is right up my alley. The renders are top notch, and I greatly enjoy the poker mini game. The explanation for it and its use make sense and doesn't feel like your usual mini-game. The game definitely deserves support, and if nothing else give it a try. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Excellent start, with quality (and mostly unique) assets. The story pulled me in more than I expected, and has me eager to see what's in the next chapter. I would have liked to see more content with the girls, but with things just getting started I can understand we are building up to it. I hope to see more of this game, and will be waiting to see what happens next!

just download this game and play it..
that is the short version.

this is a polished game with a great story. it is already on my watch list for the next release.

you will need to know how to get points in poker for the combat parts ( will make sens once you get there)

the only bad thing i have to say about the game is the time constraint, but it makes sens in the game story.
time constraints have a tendency to force you to optimisme you game play where in one handed games i enjoy fumbling around and still "win" but that is a worry for another time.
the game has not gotten this problem at the time of writing this. the only thing you have to "rush" is get 10 in all 3 stats to get the bonus scene. i will leave it up to you to find that

( i got about 11 to 13 in all 3 stats when i got to the game end so you have time to get there)

story: just fucking amazing,and very well writed.

draws and animations (cg): AMAZING.

characters: funny and so amazingly done.

music: epic and not anoying at all.

gameplay: ( i dont like poker) really well done.

scenes (erotic ones): actually they are not too many, but they are really hot.

scenes (the other ones): SO EPIC and funny.

ambient and sound: really well done.

conclussion: this is probably, one of the best games you can find in this page.
the story, characters and stuff that you can find this game is SO EPIC, the fighting system is really fun to play, the "choices" could use more work on it, but what it have, is already is good.
the epic music works all the time, even when you are buying coffe (best coffe in the world with that music) or that the game is tottally in modern times, but you still feels like is necesary to slay a mithyc beast in any moment (and that will happen)
the NAVIGATION on the game feels so cool, and the backraound is on spot.

this game TOTTALLY deserve your time and money.

psdt: the game is far from being finished it needs some fixes there and there.
you can already see the path it takes and is a promising one...but they already are selling out other games, wich is kinda cute and funny.
if they put something like " if you wanna see the end of this buy the dlc!" i will riot.

Updated after Act 5:

The game continues to impress. The story gets bigger but the game still doesn't lose focus of what made it great to begin with. The characters are rich and full of life, the MC has a distinct personality which sets the game apart from many others as well.

The sexy scenes are rather erotic but still capture the feelings of all the people we have gotten to know.

There are many shocks in the story that constantly keeps you on your toes. I have trouble finding words for how amazing this game is. On top of all of that, the dev shows time and time again that he actually listens to the community and accepts criticism. He always is looking to improve the game.

Many people come to play AVNs just as an alternate for porn, but games like Love of Magic show that AVNs can be an art form and just so much more than just porn.

5/5 - Play it. If you don't like mini-games, there is an auto-play feature. If you only play Ren'Py, this game has basically all of the features (rollback, quick save, etc). No reason not to try this.



Updated review after Act 3:

The game has certainly grown since the last time I played it. The game stays true to what it originally was but simply upgraded every aspect. The game play is fluid, most of the bugs are fixed, and the story is still interesting.

Still have high hopes for this one and cannot recommend it enough.



Act 1 (Original Review):

Very interesting game. Obviously a very unique take on a game, the renders are very life-like and breathtaking and the story certainly grasps my attention.

It is clear the MC is something far bigger than anyone really could imagine. That also makes it apparent some kind of conflict is inevitable between the MC and the royal family. Especially considering the meeting with the father.

The ending was a bit sad, things were progressing nicely with the Princess, hopefully things can be revived perhaps. As I stated earlier, I am really curious to see where this goes and in spite of the bugs this game has a lot of potential and is worth a shot.

The dev also seems very responsive to feedback which is very refreshing and reassuring. If all goes well, this game could shape up to being a really impressive tale.

It's still in a very early stage (first release), but the art is awesome, worldbuilding and story interesting and I really like the game mechanics. Finally a proper game (not VN) with nice art and good mechanics. The only downside is the bugs, but the dev is amazing, actively encourages bug reports and fixes them fast, so the rating is a no-brainer.

Solid first release, I really enjoy the game so far, keep it up !

Pros :
- Story
- Dialogs (the quote about evokers almost reminds me of the quote about fear in Dune)
- Characters (both models and personnalities)
- Music
- A lot of content for a 1st release
- Dev is responsive
- Even if the combat system may be confusing at times (see below), there is an easy mode where you can't lose, so you won't get stuck

Cons :
- Some bugs or unexpected behaviors (not a lot, and the dev is actively correcting them)
- The combat system is a bit confusing sometimes, namely the fact that some court cards appear as aces, and some implicit rules concerning poker hands are a bit obscure to me (maybe obvious for poker players, but not for me)

EDIT : I come back here after Act3, and by the horned one, this is really good ! The characters are still awesome, the story is coming along nicely and I cannot wait to see more !

Very impressive for a first release, fantastic graphics, amazing soundtracks (I can practically dance to the cafe one), very cool poker gameplay and best of all, the story: "I am the Evoker. Fire burns before me. Death walks behind me. In the center, there is only me." This is a line that should appear in movies!

A lot of work and a solid start with a fair amount of content for essentially an initial release. sure it has some bugs, but dev is responsive about fixing them and crashing the game doesn't seem to break it. If you just came for the sex scenes go play a VN somewhere else! I plan to review again later when this project has more flight time.

OK updating my rating:
• Still stands at 5 stars, I'd give it 6 stars if I could.
• One of the most undiscovered treasures to be found at f95zone.
Game is excellent :
• Well researched, deep story line.
• Detailed Character development
• Unique High Quality Art
• Attention to real life (and fantasy) details that create an immersive quality
• Engaging, Fun and so much more than just a VN!
...and one of the finest, most responsive Devs, I have ever had the pleasure to encounter.
