Unity - Completed - Love of Magic [B2 v1.2.6] [Droid Productions]

I'm not into convoluted stories in porn games in general. When i open f95, i always had a mindset to fap and forget, same with when reading doujins or watching porns. Been that way since i've founded this website. But recently, that mindset is a bit shaken.

I've started to notice and enjoy the stories a bit more. Maybe because i've started to read a whole lot more books and novels in general. And when i played this game, i never thought i'd sink a whole week of my night activities on one game.

The story sucked you right in. Yes, it's a typical "Promised one with the power to save the world" kind of story but nonetheless, it makes you wanting to read on more. The best and most complementary way i can describe this game is it's a Novel. an adult novel about the Epics of a person . with music, visuals and interactions that makes you feel and care about the characters and their stories and what might become of them.

I've just finished book 1 and immediately prompted me to make my first ever review of a game. Try it out. it might change your view of what an adult game can be too.

This adult game is amazing and one of if not the best I have played so far. I download a lot of games off of f95zone because they are free and sometimes fun, but Love of Magic has an excellent story that is capable of immersing you into it with added sex scenes which is always a bonus, and it has great renders of all the images. Although the sex scenes could be a little more fluid in the animation however the story in my opinion more than makes up for it. I am halfway through book one at the time of review. Definitely recommend it if you are looking for something new to try out. It does take quite a bit of time though I'm at maybe 15 hours so far. Also, it has great music I usually play adult games with music volume on 0 because of the usual terrible music, but Love of Magic has music that helps the mood of the story.

TL;DR absolute 10/10 adult game great story, great images, and good background music. First adult game that I have ever spent actual money on.
I would buy it even if there was no sex.

This is the first game on F95 that I enjoyed enough to review. The poker is a interesting take on regular poker and the story is interesting. I found it to be more of a real game than most of the attempts on this site.

Calling this an "adult" or "porn" game does it a disservice. Don't get me wrong, if you're looking for something to scratch that itch between your legs, there's plenty of content here to do that, but it is far more than that.

This is a wonderful work of story writing and entertaining gameplay that earns it a spot right next to Fate Stay/Night as one of the greats.

I eagerly look forward to its completion.

This one grew on me as I played it longer.

~I really enjoyed the primary LI quite a lot. What a sweetheart!
~Mc was decent- but occasionally annoyingly overconfident and pig-headed.
~Some good banter
~Game mechanics were rather fun- its not like the most interesting mechanic- but there is still room to game the system by timing the use of lightning well and swapping out your gem sets.
~Sprites are fantastic.

Personally I think this is one of, if not the best adult game(s).

Some points in its favor:

• Actual gameplay, not just talking to a girl over and over to increase "love stat". This game is about a lot more then the adult in adult games.
• A power fantasy with actual backstory and a lot of lore and worldbuilding. Not just here you go, you're a god, have fun.
• A harem without it ruining the story or game, might not be a + for everyone but it is for me.
• A fairytale romance, which is actually sweet and heartwarming. I will say if you don't like Emily, this game is not for you, she is and will always be the main love interest (unavoidable).
• Sandbox but because its partially a kinetic novel (most text choices are flavor and big interactions/events have set dates) the interactions with the girls always make sense. For example you don't have 30 different scenario's with girl X because it has to check what stage you're at with girl Y and Z and if *generic sandbox harem game* doesn't do this it doesn't make sense or the girls never mention each other.
• Even if you don't like the poker aspect the combat is still enjoyable if you use auto attack. Why? It still matters a lot which ally abilities you active and sometimes even in which order. And of course you can still tactically discard your hand at the end of the board.
• The use of a lot of existing lore, it adds a nice twist to things or people we "already knew".
• Interesting story, I can't (re)play this game without doing it all in 1 sitting, even though I know what happens I want to progress the story because its so good.

Negatives:

• I gave it 5 stars didn't I? Why are you looking here, there is nothing here.

The game is one of the rare ones where the characters actually develop with the story and grow into their changing roles well. The renders of the game are almost without peer. The writing is quite amazing. The only advisory that this game deserves is that it takes a good bit of time to progress through it, but it is certainly worth it.

After being recommended to play this game by a couple of friends within the VN community i set aside my evenings to commit to playing this amazing game.

TLDR this game is fucking awesome play it if you love an awesome story in a modern fantasy setting, with an awesome modified take on Arthurian legend.

As someone who had never played before starting from the beginning was an awesome experience and got me on the path to be strapped into this new world for 40+ hours this game is huge and in a really good way, setting up plot and characters, the world, and the Arthurian legends was all a pleasure to sit through and absorb.

The story in this game is on another level, Every character fits into the world and story really well and it flows really well. Its one of those games where you come to the end of a small storyline and your saying to yourself "Please be more content please be more content" and when you keep going you give a huge sigh of relief as exploring this world and characters is amazing.

The characters are all cuties its one of those games where its very hard atleast for me to pick a favourite girl, Emily is defo my number one wifey, but Bella, Katies and Molly are all cute and awesome too and you just wanna hang around, work together and protect them all for the trouble of whats to come in the story.

As someone who is from the UK i'm always skeptical as the country is very poorly portrayed in a majority of these games whether that is due to playing on stereotypes or having a lack of 3D assets to convey a sellable UK environment, But i must say Droid has done a really good job of having Scottish humor and architecture in the game that does a real good job in convincing me its actually set in the UK.

All in all this game is 100% a 5/5 and a must play to anyone who loves visual novels

My review of Love Of Magic (Book 1)



Story/Writing
The lore of this game actually is pretty interesting.
MC is likable in the beginning and the writing still interesting.
Over time this unfortunately turns into endless walls of extremely verbose text and MC only talks about violently murdering anyone looking wrong at his (forced love interest) girlfriend and how great he now is.
Characters are all pretty 1-dimensional, and while there are about 5 other girls, about 90% of the game revolve about your forced love interest while you can't really do anything with the others.
Of course the story is also linear and your choices don't matter at all.



Gameplay (General)
Most of the gameplay is spent grinding or reading endless text of story events.
Story events occur automatically on certain days or when you go to certain places meeting the right criteria.
Otherwise you're just grinding money or stats.
Money is gained by working at the bar (click button and skip repeating text) or by killing monsters in another dimension.
Stats are gained the same way as working at the bar (just in different places), and are needed to advance the story sometimes.
You also gain levels from combat, but they don't really matter apart from getting stronger enemies that drop more money.



Gameplay (Combat)
Combat is absolutely awful (extra -1 star for that alone).
It's basically a mixture of Poker and Bingo.
9 cards in the center, 5 in your hand, you have to use 2 to hit a good poker hand (the higher the better).
By hitting a hand a gem (usually damage or shield) slotted to that hand activates.

Here's where a huge problem lies:
You can only chose gems (1 per slot) before combat, so you will either go damage in every slot or shield or a 50% mix between the two and hope it's possible to hit the hand you need.
The safest way to play is just going full shield and letting your forced love interest casually do 1000 damage each turn (more than you can do).
But no matter what you choose it's very boring and combat would be way better if you could have multiple gems in 1 slot and actually choose which spell to cast in combat.

Another problem is teammate imbalance:
Some are completely overpowered (1000 damage per turn / turn your hand into jokers every turn) and some completely useless (heal for less than 100 every turn).
You can basically just sit back and relax while your girlfriend kills everything and you put jokers in random places without the need to think.

Oh, and if you somehow manage to die it's no biggie.
You just lose the money you've collected that trip, or it was a boss-fight you were supposed to lose to advance the story.



Graphics
The graphics are pretty average.
It's mostly some blurred real-life-backgrounds with Daz3D sprites and occasional Daz3D renders.
Sometimes there's even videos, but they're pretty cringe, animated very poorly, and they're also heavily compressed.



Sound
Sound is pretty decent.
There always is some good background music playing, but maybe there could be more variety.



Conclusion
A highly overrated game.
Only playable if you like the forced love interest (the elf) + endless walls of extremely verbose text + lots of grinding.
I played until the reaching "2nd city", hoping it would get better, but it was still the same, so I quit.

I would normally give it 3 stars, but combat is so bad, and could so easily be improved, I feel I have to retract another star.

Versions - Book I: 1.1.9B
Book II. 0.2.21B

This game is amazing give it a try if you haven't. A lot of work and a whole of love went into making this yet to be completed masterpiece, and I cannot help but give this game a glowing review.

Story = 5/5 - The game in general is very well written. The story is essentially an isekai with some of the usual RPG tropes and archetypes, but the way it unfolded felt natural, captivating, well paced, and never forced. The unraveling of the mysteries of magic and the various worlds in the game coincided beautifully with the development of the MC as he grew more powerful. There are some periods in the game where the development of the story slows down, especially near the end of Book I, but with the wealth of things to do in the game, it never felt boring. The dialogue also felt natural and unartificial. Though the sex scenes are relatively far in between, they are always within the context of the story in general, and never thrown out of the blue, which is a big plus for me.

Fun Factor = 5/5 - The combat mechanic of poker is unique, refreshing, and a lot of fun. It has the right amount of familiarity to immediately get into, due to the relative universality of poker rules, and the right amount of tactical complexity and customizability, to really immerse you into the game, especially since it was uniquely contextualized as something that's only happening in the MC's mind. There might be a bit of grinding involved, but not too much of it. I'm also looking forward to the development of the tactical battles - it is in a rudimentary state as of now, but the idea of an RTS / Tower defense hybrid, in a sex game with an already robust RPG mechanics, is quite astounding.

Renders = 5/5 - The renders are excellent in general, does not feel outdated, and are on par with some of the more well known games here. Each of the characters also have their own unique beauty and charm, which gives them more life, and makes them feel less artificial. The animation feels a bit rudimentary, but considering how difficult it is to render animations, and the relative wealth of animations in both sex scenes and non-sexual cut scenes, I'd still say they did a good job. The portrait animations and the idle animations during conversations is also a big plus, it breathes life into the characters and the scenes in general.

Music = 5/5 - In general, music in sex games is an underestimated facet. I am not sure if the music in the game is unique to it or non-copyrighted, but it contributed immensely to the feel and the ambience of the game. The cut scenes were more epic, the battles more intense, and the love scenes were more romantic, because of the music. I especially like Jenny's theme, it is very reminiscent of the music of Persona games.

All in all, an excellent game. Kudos to the developers for a job well done thus far, I hope you guys can maintain the same level of quality and dedication in the development of books II and III.

Review for Book 1.
Pros:
- Game has an intriguing plot line.
- Has unique and good looking characters.
- lots of content.
Cons:
- Can I just say that Unity is the worst game engine you can use to make adult games beside Unreal? Game hangs every 5 or so minutes on my 4gb ram mobile.
- Sandbox element are most of the time tiring. Here it's not so much but still can be felt grindy sometimes.
- MC is likable guy in other aspects but when it comes to Emily he can be really annoying sometimes. I get he loves her the most but sometimes it feels too much. Game has most of its content dedicated to her and focuses little to none on other characters. Like other LIs doesn't even exists.
- Animation feels lackluster.
Decent game in my opinion. Could be better if dev cares of some if these aspects.

This has no right to be as compelling and enjoyable as it is. I was prepared for a bit of romance and a whole lot of sex. I ended up not sleeping because I couldn't stop playing it, and not caring that - compared to other games - it hasn't got a huge amount of sex in it. I am genuinely bummed that it's over and I'm going to have to get busy waiting until it's done.

this had me interested from act 1... but lost me once i was forced to play a love struck puppy.

i honestly enjoy both the gameplay and story , the whole romantic /fantasy aspect just really caught me off guard as its not advertised as such... its like a basketball themed game i found on here. Those who like emily enough will no doubt enjoy the puppy love though, and it will probably enhance the story aspect.
The characters all seem interesting, though i'd have loved to explore some more.
The clan for instance has some VERY interesting characters imo. i'd have loved to learn more about how they seem to handle were creatures and teach them to handle their rage. That chance seems lost though.
overall i did like playing the game and imo you've done a good job with this. Just wish you gave the player a choice. i do get that would be far more work though.

Book1: v1.0.7b, Book 2: v0.2.21b

It's always nice to play a game on here that has more gameplay and mechanics to it than your typical Renpy VN, but unfortunately I didn't really enjoy the combat mechanics that fun and thought the dialogue was extremely verbose leading to a slow paced game that I bounced off of.

Deep story, hot ladies, what more could you ask for? The story is really good, even aside from anything else. The sexy times are pretty good, mostly, but some of the newer ones are technically good but don't really have the soul of the earlier ones. Maybe it's just me.

The controls can be a bit clunky sometimes, but to be honest I'm engaged enough not to be too bothered by it. Play this game.

Loved it, great game, great story, everyone should play this. Can't wait for future updates! Also the Dev keeps polishing up old scenes, so it's also a great game for multiple playthroughs! At the moment definately my most anticipated game for future updates

How else is one to rate a game that calls the Lady of the Lake a watery tart?

In all seriousness, while some elements of the gameplay serve only to slow the progression of the game down, this is a common trait of the sandbox genre and it's hardly egregious, and this is a great game with some very good story writing, visuals, and innovative combat if you're so inclined. Well worth playing.

I have just completed Book 1 v1.0.7b.

Honestly, the renders are nowhere near as high quality as a great many other games out there. So if you are looking for a game purely for that aspect, I regret to inform you that this is not the game for you. This is not to say that the renders are bad or that the sex scenes are not enticing. Rather the way in which the Dev works a lot of the options in is actually rather more nuanced.

The story and world building is what makes this game stand out. It is not without its flaws (plenty of people have already pointed out problems with some of the MCs interactions), but the story was well developed and the setting highly engaging.

The poker thing....I could go either way on it. The combat system felt a little awkward and even with practice still was hard to keep track of. Thankfully the companion skills helped a lot. My biggest gripe was actually the lack of repeatable scenes with the companions and other 'love interests'.

If you're looking for a game to play and just want to have the spice of sex scenes and the like, then I wholeheartedly recommend this game. I know I'll be adding them to my list of Patreons to support.

Not much to like about this game to be honest. A lot of people are praising the "story" but its flat, dull, uninteresting, and cliche in a lot of ways. The sandbox is un-necessary and a complete waste of time. Choices dont matter at all.

The poker aspect of it, frankly, is not to my liking at all, (and i suspect i am not alone in this). However, I do commend and give props to the dev for doing something unique, even if overall its boring to some.

I don't like the character i am forced to play. Others have mentioned this before, but the MC is really kind of a dick, especially to Chloe, Susan, and Molly in the first game. As a tie-in to that, The story is way too focused on the relationship between the MC and Emily. Yeah i get it, they are destined for each other blah blah blah, but he barely pays any attention (if any) to the other girls, Mostly choosing to spend time with Emily over anyone else when given the option to do so. Even if you choose to respond to them with "i love you, and you are important to me", They fade quickly into the background and prove that they are, in fact, not very important to him.

All in all, its... subpar for a f95 game and considering that 99% of all games on here are trash... 3 stars makes it shine.

This is a review of book one.
So just going to say this first, if you're looking for a quick fap or a story that is mainly about erotic content go ahead and skip this one

Before going into detail, let me sum it up by saying this:
This game is like a interactive fantasy book, a great one, where you have a small influence on the direction of the plot but it is mostly going to go a certain way. it's not all bad though because instead of a focusing on a bunch of different routes the Dev is focusing on the story and gameplay which are pretty great in my opinion.

So visually it looks good, nothing too impressive but it certainly gets the job done, models are good looking but a bit similar looking body wise, the Developer clearly has a certain type of preferred body-shape.
Some of the faces seem a bit off(mainly Katie).
Environments look great, especially in the latter part of the game, I'm going to assume it greatly improves in book 1
Animated sexual scenes are a few in number but they are good, they do happen in the latter part of the game though(again there's probably more in book 2)
UI is very slick and convenient to use with a lot of QoL improvements that should be present on all sandbox games.

Story is one of the strengths of the game, there's plenty of good stories in erotic games but very few stories with a fantasy setting manage to create a universe that feels so deep and rich in lore as this one, there is a lot of dialogue setting up the lore and the plot of the world(which some people find annoying).
The overarching plot isn't something unique but it's definitely delivered in a fantastic way and slowly unfolds as the game goes on.
Characters are decently written but nothing special about them, they pretty much become in love puppies after a certain point at the game, honestly the only one who stands out in terms of personality is Molly or Katie.

Gameplay is the other strength of this game, the "poker" is very fun and engaging, and the Gem system that comes along with it is quite interesting, I loved trying out different builds to see what's effective and what's not.
Companions definitely needs balancing, some are very useful while others are not.

Fetishes are very Vanilla if you discount the Harem elements.(there's maybe 2 scenes with more than 2 people)

Overall I greatly enjoyed this experience and the developer is clearly improving by leaps and bounds so do give this one a shot and support them if you can!
And do leave a like or review it because it helps with visibility!
