Unity - Completed - Love of Magic [B3 v1.1.9b NG+] [Droid Productions]

I can consider my presence within this forum as one seeking Story Driven, Adult Visual Novels, not porn.
Porn is a dime a dozen and often tasteless to boot.
This creation... is pure gold. Well constructed, lore that drives your imagination, comedic timing that flavors the adventure throughout. A power fantasy that too few game development companies explore these days.

Love of Magic is one of the best Visual Novels I have ever encountered.

Within the proverbial pages of this work is both romance and a kinky sensuality; star crossed lovers and soul bonded mates exploring intimacy amidst the trials of an impending destiny that will drive them together for better or for worse.

If you have not given this marvelous work a chance, what are you waiting for?

My only negative is this: When you have partaken of a Master Chef's delicacies, fast food simply cannot sate your newly awakened palette. There will be titles that will vanish from my followed list, simply because they cannot begin to echo the creative beauty I have witnessed here.

Bravo Droid Productions! Bravo!!

This game feels, in many regards, as a AAA game when comparing to other games of the genre.

Where to begin with? Geez... There are just so many mechanics and well written characters, not to mention the whole lore that was clearly very well put.

The combat mechanics are simple and fun, and you don't feel yourself overwhelmed by informations or grinding for skill points, like many games that attempt this kind of approach.

So, almost everything here is very well done, thus why it looks like some big ass studio developed it.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this project. It is truly remarkable.

I just wanna say that this game is probably the best game I've played in this genre. The story is amazing and very engaging. I really enjoy it compared to most other games. The thing i feel might be something to work with is perhaps doing some more dialogue during the sex scenes, stretching them out abit. But that being said i would play the game even if it didn't have any sex scenes because i enjoy it alot.
I also like how you implement many of the characters into the story. The character development is pretty well done too.

I only wish to someday make a game such as yours with one of my stories.
If i didn't have a rough time with cash IRL because of the whole corona issue i would without a doubt donate to this game but i will make sure to do it in the future

All in all amazing game, i would give it a 7/5 in score because it's so darn good. Dev if you do read this please know you have made a stranger on the internet very content and happy with your work. I wish you all the best and i hope your journey with the game continues to be as amazing as it has been.
Have a good one mate!

Don't be like me! I avoided this game for so long because I didn't like or play poker! What a fool I was, it has auto play when you need help. I damn near missed out on what may be my favorite game so far. Every character is endearing in some way, their motivations make sense. The art is superb and the girls are flawless.

...I humbly request more Sarah.... yes, yes, I know, but still.

Category: VideoGame (Sandbox/free roaming)
Version: 4.11b (5.14b actual one, so a bit old)
Visual novel/Script: 5+
Gaming experience: 4
Graphic quality: 4
Character development: 5
Xcitement: 3

Considerations: Very good story, nice characters, quite limited lewd content so far. Maybe would be better including more lewd content, more random events to help cope with repetitive actions (wandering through the map, for example, looking for something to do...) Not sure if decisions taken ingame affect the main plot / relations somehow so far. Nice work.

I usually do not bother making reviews on this site, mostly because of the length requirement, most games are simply not worth the time to do so...

However, Love of Magic is quite the exception.

The story is nothing short of fantastic, the writing is also way above what you'll usually see in a VN.

The dev is probably one of the nicest one out there, and I highly recommend you join the discord channel and interact with him. Droid's been very receptive to many suggestions, and really spends crap of load of time working on LOM.

The visuals are way above the usual VNs, and the soundtracks are nothing short of exceptional.

The combat system, is probably the first minigame in a VN that I do not hate, dare I even say, ENJOY.

The only downside in my opinion, is the little amount of sex (there's still quite a few interactions, and sex scenes, don't get me wrong there) present in the game. I'd just wish there was time in the story, for more sex ^_^. Then again, the story's not over, and who knows what else droid's got in store for us!

This is one that I'll highly recommend to anyone!

I was pleasantly surprised with this game and am happy that I came across it and gave it a try.

This game is one of the best I've played on F95Zone! It is a near masterpiece!

Cons - Main Complaint - (!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!)
I really hate to mention this but the main problem I have with the game is the sex scenes/events.

25% are good
25% are acceptable
50% are bad

There doesn't seem to be any consistency with them. This can be good in certain circumstances but not in this case.

My main complaint with many of them is that there is little to no foreplay. One minute you are flirting with the person and the next the player has his dick inside her already. The scenes often are very short and are over before you expect them to be.

For example, the first time the player has sex with Katie, it happens super fast and is over quickly and Katie has three orgasms just from the short fuck session. Contrast that with the first night Emily sleeps overnight in your bed and you have sex. You spend a lot more time with foreplay and sex, yet Emily doesn't even have one orgasm. This happens multiple times when you have sex with Emily (no orgasms for Emily).

Some of the scenes feel like they were written by a porn star and others like the author doesn't understand how sex works in real life. So some scenes are overly "porn star" like and others feel really amateurish.

For example, when the player has vaginal sex with Molly for the first time, taking her virginity, he breaks her hymen, and then she begs him to fuck her harder and deeper? Virgins are very sensitive and tight their first time. It goes on and the player starts hitting Molly's cervix, her first time having vaginal sex. The player doesn't have a small cock either. This is an example of when I say, "the author doesn't understand how sex really works in real life." Vaginal sex is nearly always painful for a virgin. Things are being stretched (vaginal walls and muscles) that have never been stretched before.

Most people like more build-up to sex and more foreplay. 25% of the sex scenes are good so I know the author is capable of doing it. I've played a lot of games on this site and have contributed to some of them so I am not new to adult themed games.

There are only a couple of sex scenes with animation. I wish this would be greatly expanded.


Final Thoughts
Keep in mind that the author is doing 90% of game superbly and expertly! Most everything in the game is done very well! I enjoyed this game very much!

I rate the game 4.5 stars, but since I can't, I'm giving the author the benefit of the doubt due to the superb gameplay and character development.

I highly recommend this game and encourage everyone to give it a try!

I am not sure why I have only now gotten around to reviewing this game, but in short, it is excellent. It is more than deserving of it's spot among the top games. Droid puts so much work into the game with bug fixes being a nearly daily occurrence and constant new content updates and new plot lines to follow.

Here are some of the things I love about this game:

Story:

The story is the shining star of this game, it constantly evolves and changes throughout the course of the game and always leaves you wanting more. It is in the genre of urban fantasy and reminds me a lot of the author Terry Pratchet, I cannot wait for future acts and for more development, especially for book 2!

Characters:

The characters in this are fantastic, they all feel distinct and interesting with their own unique backgrounds and traits, you would think that each of them has a separate writer that solely focuses on them, that's how consistent and amazing they are. My favourite character is Katie btw!

Poker:

While the poker is not my favourite part of the game, it is the part that I am most impressed by, I have played so many games with god-awful mini-games in between that are necessary to progress, the poker in this game is fun and enjoyable and it makes you want to play it in order to level up and such! Top-notch job Droid!

Lewdity:

The lewd scenes in this game are great, they definitely aren't the highlight, but feel useful to the story and not just some one off fun, which there is a bit of but mostly in the side quests! The lewd scenes however should not be the reason that you play this game, the amazing story should be!

Content:

So far the game has 97 days. About 3 days out of every 7 has more story content in it and the rest of the week is left for you to do side quests and level up your character, you never feel bored and there is never a slow moment! I would estimate that the main story in this game probably has about 5 hours worth of content, and that would be if you weren't levelling up your character at all. The side quests are probably 2 hours worth and the levelling up and playing poker is probably about 2 hours! overall you get to about 9-10 hours of content if you are playing through it quickly and skimming over most of the text, if you want to take in the amazing story you will get something like 15 hours of playtime out of it!

Overall this game absolutely deserves the 5/5, it has the best story out of any game I have played and everything else in the game are within a hair's length of perfect. Well Done Droid!

Really fun to play an a great story. I always enjoy playing love of magic, there's something in it for everyone from lewd scenes to combat and making yourself the optimal build. However even for someone who doesn't get the hang of poker the game is very user friendly with an auto option and hints on what card to play. Not having the most optimal build is fine as well once you get the hang of it, and the game really eases you in.

Sex scenes could be perhaps be a slightly more sexier but otherwise the game is great. All the characters grow on you and you find yourself completely invested in the story meanwhile even after each act is complete, there's always more side content to try and find.

I'd recommend Love of Magic to anyone who enjoys roleplaying games like that from Bioware but who also want the reward of lewd scenes. Definitely a game to play!

As of 5.7b I am madly in love with this game. Do yourself a HUGE FAVOR And play this story and enjoy it. All of the women in this game are all just beautiful. They all have their own little personal touches and kinks, wants, needs, and desires.
Story 5/5
Renders 5/5
women 12351235/12351235 LOL
The Poker game for battles is a cool oddly fun part of the game too but overall I Recommend you to try this story out too.

Great job Droid! And i hope that there are A TON MORE Updates cause im super excited about where this story goes

This game is so well-written I kind of forgot it was supposed to be a porn game at times. I'm not a huge fan of the poker mechanics but they are definitely unique, and they don't get in the way too much if you don't want to use them. The character designs are magnificent, and the game scales to feel epic as hell. As a bonus, the soundtrack is top notch, too. I almost never notice the sound in games like this, but I found this one compelling.

Great fantasy Story, it could be a great RPG campaign. Good and charming characters. Funny card system to play during combats.
The sex scenes are not so genious, but the general quality results in a amasterpiece game.

This is one of the few western erotic games with writing compelling enough that I would enjoy the game even if it contained no erotic elements. The storyline is actually exciting and interesting. The characters are cool, and the girls especially are very likable in their own ways. Furthermore, the actual gameplay is uniquely good. It's not very complicated or anything but it requires some thought and keeps the game from getting boring. The renders are pretty good, but that's not really what makes me love the game.

Despite its very linear nature, Love of Magic's story proved to be engaging and highly enjoyable. Most characters have depth, and the world they inhabit feels very well-lived in.

Character designs are mostly on point across the board. They main character's party all have their cute little quirks that make you want to root for them. There's also a good amount of variance between the girls, and all of them are visually attractive in ways that really fit their personalities.

Really, the worst it gets is the main character, whose facial features at times look rugged and a bit worn. For a snarky inexperienced kid in his early 20s, the MC does sometimes look like he'd be pushing 30 or 40. It's especially noticeable in scenes with the comparatively more youthful looking Emily. And honestly, it's just the tiniest tad unnerving.

The aspect that really makes Love of Magic stand out as a game, though, is its combat system. There's something so uniquely fun about killing daemons through poker that makes for an entertaining standalone feature. While one could go large stretches of the story without playing it, it's pretty fun strategizing and somewhat challenging to the point where I'd go out of the way to play it just for fun. The Poker UI is a little bit clunky, especially starting out, but it's intuitive enough to maneuver and pick up.

Overall though, the game shows high amounts of polish. Definitely going on my must-watch list.

I love this game !
The story is linear but very intriguing and the characters are colorful.
The MC has a real personality and he is proactive which is always good for me.
You can see the progress made by the developer has the story progress (in the writing and in the animations).
The game-play is simple but fun.
All in all this game is awesome !

The only reason why I didn't write a review yet is the fact that no review can do justice when it comes to LOM.

I don't like Unity VNs and free-roaming/sandbox is the only thing I like even less and here we have both. The game is so great that not even those things could sway me away from it.

Droid created an epic story worth of something developed by Obsidian Entertainment or BioWare (while they were still good). Not only that - so-called mini-game here is contagiously fun. We have a great hybrid of RPG and VN and casual gaming - what's not to like?! And, honestly, this is maybe the only adult game here using animations not just for naughty scenes but for truly epic ones.

Not 5 stars - "Love of Magic" deserves 10 stars.

Wow, this game is absolutely superb! Where it really shines is the writing, the world building is excellent and each character brings something different and interesting to the story. For me it compares favorably to the epic fantasy novels I've read.

I like the combat system and had plenty of fun leveling up.

I'm not that attracted to Emily which is a shame with her being the main love interest but there are plenty of other characters to do things with too.

The dev seems to be very hardworking as there's a lot of content to enjoy considering when this was first released.

Overall it's one of the best game I've played and I've played a lot. The creator is a master at ending on a cliffhanger too so you'll find yourself desperate for the next release.

Outstanding story, has me hooked for more. Worldbuilding is top tier and consistent, which is not an easy thing to do.

The poker-esque gameplay is fun and challenging with enough layers to keep the dynamics fresh even for those unfamiliar with poker mechanics.

I have never once reviewed and commented on a game thread but this game is just really good and I think more people should try it. There’s fun, unique gameplay, interesting characters and a well-written storyline. Even if you’re not a fan of cards (not big on poker myself) the game is still enjoyable and will keep you entertained playing for long. I’m sure it’ll only get better as it progresses. Again, keep it up dev

Its ugly and clunky. Does have some content but im just not a fan of the models. The cards minigame isnt bad but again is very clunky. The music is cool, ui is clean and well made but in the end id say skip this one,,
