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

I caught this when it was starting out, and bookmarked it to finally finish it when it ends. It's only the end of the first book, but whew. What a journey.

First of all, the story, it sucks you in like nothing else, honestly. Few games here can actually rival the story-telling of this game. Honestly, a part of me felt like it would be better off not a lewd game, so much more people can enjoy it.

Controls and gameplay are straightforward and easy to learn, but not without its flaws of course. I personally don't like the battle system, not because it's boring or bad, just prefer more action, but I can see how the system would appeal to a bigger fanbase, rather than only action rpg players.

The lewd scenes and character lines are fappable, honestly well scripted and very sexy. But the actual way you go about it is slightly confusing and lackluster, yes it makes it repeatable, but I would rather not click at random options hoping it loops properly and risk missing out on dialogue and scenes.

Now the renders. The girls are stunning, especially Emily. And my personal favourite, Bella. Actual animations during scenes were added to the later portion of the game, which was a nice surprise. While the sex scenes were mostly well done, apart from the pixels. There were other less then satisfactory animations that makes this game looks cheap and low quality, which was definitely not what I want people to judge the entire game on.

Undoubtedly a 5 stars from me, despite me listing out points that I want to see improved. If you like ideas of a fantasy, magic world coexisting with ours, you have to try this game. There's not TOO much taboo or fetishes involved, but I'm pretty sure most of the people who plays this actually stays for the brilliant world forged by Droid Productions

Great Story, fun characters! Could use better animations, and more variety of pics during the bedroom scenes, but overall a very fun game! Looking forward to the eventual continuation! Definitely need more Chosen time, especially all 3 together.

I wish there were more replayable sex scenes towards the endgame, but the STORY is terrific. I'm not used to media having reasonably-well-thought-out magic systems in them, so this was a rare treat.

Great storyline and game mechanics.

I found myself enjoying the game itself a lot and am looking forward to the city building mechanics that will happen in the next series of the game.

5/5 recommended to play.

Support the creator if you are able to!

high production quality, expansive storytelling, refreshing gameplay innovation in the medium with the poker playing, fine werewolf girlfriend without the guilt of furfetishism, fine fox girlfriend to bring the guilt on, fine werecat shows up. i'm not normally into this. hoping the story and gameplay spread wings in book two and become less linear. hoping i can coup and depose emily.

Story wise your typical hero's journey (the chosen one finds his powers, his princess and his trusty companions to fight against evil). However, where the game shines is everything surrounding this old tale: interesting characters, a bit of mystery and a good pacing of the story.

The characters for me are the greatest strength of this game, spending time and learning about them makes you really care and enjoy the plot of this game so much more. Models are beautifully made and animated, the content is abundant.

The fighting system despite possessing a fair bit of diversity in what you can do becomes quite boring and tedious at times, thankfully there is an auto-button and some people may enjoy it.

The game is quite long and has a completed story arc (to be continued in books 2 and 3).

All in all it's a very rounded game excelling in many things at once and a favorite of mine.

Great game with a ton of content. The story is great and a lot of cool characters. Legit my only complaint would be how you have to initiate your chosen wish there was a choice on how that is done. I can't wait for the 2nd book.

i enjoyed it greatly! From what i can see regarding the mechanics it would not even need to be an erotic game to be good! I find that the best porn games are the ones where the porn is a plus and not the center!

several choices are fun to make particularly if you pick doing your duty instead of going for a foursome with your chosen girls or slumming it down and dirty with Kathie!

i rate base on how much fun i had playing a game! it does not mean that i would not have preferred some different choices but since its been pretty good i give it a top rate! the games i dislike i do not even rate!

definitely on my list for steam for book 2 release!

Damn good game. The sex scenes are not fap content IMO but the story/writing is enough for 5 stars even though I am not familiar with the content at all. One of the few VNs where I barely skipped dialogue.

Hoping for more chocolate starfish stretching in the future

(please note this review was based on version 1.0.7b)
If you enjoy Athurian Legends I would say this game is a must play.

Its an intersting new take on one of the UKs most enduring legends. beyond the obvious references this game draws on a lot of folk traditions for a lot of the monsters and character.
The writing is excellent, the dialogue is convincing enough while the events and tone are in keeping with the sometimes over the top tone found in tradional folk tales from england, Ireland and scottland.

the Renders objectively gourgous even if the bulk of the character's don't really do anything for me in 'that' regard. with this in mind the fact that i've finished the story twice in the 2 weeks since picking this game up is a testament to the quality of the game.

The combat is interesting, while not getting in the way. if your concerned about your poker skills you can wait a few seconds and it will show you a play.
The Map navigation is mostly intuitive with only one or two screens slowing you down. once you get the hang of the poker system the in game money system stops being an issue.

This is in the running for the best game on the site. This is entirely due to the story, visuals and sound for me though. I uniformly dislike all of the gameplay features such as for combat, money, travel etc., but they are not enough to subtract from what is otherwise an exceptional offering.

Really enjoyed this twist on the arthurian legend. What can I say - if you are a fan of Camelot, and poker, it is almost as if the game was made for you haha.

To those worried about the poker - it is a combat mechanic. I feel even if you don't know how it works, or are not too much of a fan, the way it was implemented should still not prevent you from giving it a try. I didn't feel it got in the way of the story at all.

I've been kind of surprised with 1.07, the last build I played through was sometime back in 0.6. This game is great, it was good before, but it just feels more fun now. Progression feels way more balanced and less stat stressful than my first play through. Granted some of that is probably somewhat due to knowing the story and having played the game mechanics, but this playthrough feels much more like "Oh, I want to do that so I'm going to do this" vs. "Crap, I don't think I have enough days or ways to get money to make that up in time because of stupid player decision X or Y".

Sometimes it seems a little more over the top 'campy' than necessary, but it's still a fun thoughtful take on the legends. The additional night pub work and the side character arcs that brought in are awesome. I love that the dev went back and fleshed out existing content and not solely focusing on the finish line of the story.

For me this falls hard into the adult game category, so much more than simply a porn game. I wish I knew of more like it. So far this is one of five games I've found on F95 that has made me think, I'm buying this, where do I put money?

I'm only on Act III in this second playthrough... I still find myself reading all the dialog... even though I already know.

This game is amazing! Came for the Fap stayed for the writing.
I honestly did not expect such a huge Game. I was turned off by the Card mechanik and almost did not play it. But you can play on casual and just press space bar if you dont like the mechanic.

This Game has an amazing story. One of the best i have seen so far. together with "bad memories" these take x-rated games to a new level. The lewd scenes in this game are a bit few but more meaningful. They are more a bonus to the compelling story.

Just download it and give it a try, after a few Minutes you will know if this is for you.

That said could have more h-scenes and i think some faces look a bit wonky

I really love it, and I'm on fire (maybe Katie had something to do with it?) for book 2!
The characters are wonderful and the story is great so far. I enjoyed it for many hours and am thrilled to further invest time. I tend to lose interest in a game quite fast, but this one held me close.

This game is really quite unlike other adult games. I feel the author had a story to tell in the first place, and wrapped that story in the guise of an adult game to garner more funding/interest.

World building: 5/5. This is the genuinely most impressive part of the game. The lore is deeply thought out and self-consistent, and expansive enough to host the epic the author wants to tell.

Combat (poker): 4/5. For a system that appears absurdly simple and imbalanced to begin with, it's actually surprising how mechanically deep and thought-out it turns out to be. There are various valid strategies and diverse ways to build around your companions. The problem is this is only relevant to side content. Main plot combat is either absurdly simple, or you win by gimmick instead of mechanics. I understand the author wants the game to be playable as a VN, but I'd rather let those players have a skip option than gimp the experience for everyone else.

Plot: 3/5 There are perhaps too many contrivances here, with the player's ever escalating absurd power level exceeding most other fantasy novels or RPGs. Even as a power fantasy game, it feels ludicrous at times. The other problem is the strong destiny-child theme detaches the player from feeling agency.

The final chapter sort of ends on a whimper, with too much promise of followup but no climatic moment of its own. It is also strange to have come all this way only to find out this is part 1 of a trilogy. Since the main character's power level and relevance went from 1 to 1,000,000 already in book 1, the other books will have to be very different in tone and structure. This would be difficult to pull off successfully, though I'm still giving the benefit of the doubt here.

Porn: 2/5 To be honest this is probably the weakest part of the game, in terms quality, variety, and frequency. Not the thing to come to this game for, nor the reason to stay. It's passable.

Overall: 5/5 The overall star rating is not based on an average or anything like that. Simply I have to give it a 5/5 since the execution of the game already exceeds the vast majority of other games on this site.

I'm not going to write a big review like most others, they have said everything that needs to be said about how awesome this game is. The only disappointment I had with this game was the fact I finished it. I was sucked into the excellent story, and was sad to see it end. I await the next installment of the series.

I was a bit hesitant at first to get into it, but the developer does a good job here. With balancing the story, combat, engaging characters, and nicely done graphics it's drawn me in and I have come to like it more and more. With different characters, body types, and personalities it at least doesn't feel flat with different tropes being used, which is easy with something like this.

The Magic is engaging, although I was never much into Poker its not hard once you look at the board strategically and think chess like, where you may make a smaller hand to take a better one, and multiples, later on. With allies combat it relatively easy and it's been well balanced so far.

Sex scenes are nice, and with the different characters fits their personalities as you and the character find out more about himself and his influence on those around him. Some of the girls are well drawn, hot, and I am looking forward to scenes I haven't found yet.

Definitely worth the time!

Pros:

• Good back story that is consistent
• Hot looking characters
• Easy combat (at times it even TELLS you the best hand to play!)
• Variety and Quests that you sometimes puzzle out a bit
• Hidden encounters

Cons:

• UI can seem flat, with clicking from one spot to another, and its branching paths so not always easy to get to the main one
• Finding the next steps to the Quests can sometimes be tough, would be nice to know which steps have been done

BOOK 2 (Update of review to include Book 2. Original Book 1 review is below)
(What follows is a repost of my review of Book 2 of this game on Steam)

Summary: A fantastic, engaging, and enjoyable Adult Visual Novel

First if you haven't played Book 1, stop right now. GO GET IT. Play it, and then come back to this secure in the knowledge that Book 2 is even better.

Why: This is the second 'book' in a trilogy and while it offers a recap of Book 1, you are robbing yourself of a great deal of context and fun by jumping straight into Book 2. If you love the game, you'll be glad you got Book 1. If you hate the game, well, you can hate Book 1 just as easily as Book 2


What this game is:
The game is a rich, detailed, fun hybrid sandboxed (yet linear) adult (NSFW) visual fantasy novel.

The action takes place primarily in Camelot, which lies in a parallel reality connected to our own world. The game has magic, kings and legends, humor, sex, main quests, side-quests, politics, modern armies, demonic hordes, elves, werewolves, gods, demi-gods (multiple pantheons), mages, sorcerers, necromancy, prophecies, betrayal, dungeon crawling and a climactic struggle for the fate of the world all woven together.

The 'card games' tag refers to the combat system (how the MC visualizes order and chaos during magical combat). While combat is a significant activity and you can do plenty of it, it doesn't require any great poker ability (and is mostly optional if you just hate it) so don't come (or stay away) just for the cards. There are different types of combat magic that can be employed in combat and different opponents have differing capabilities and resistances. For example Poison has no effect on metal golems, etc.

Lots of references, shout outs, jokes and nods are buried inside. There is also a wiki, walkthroughs, and a vibrant community out there.

The game combines narrative, visuals, and music in a masterfully crafted story and world.
Mechanics are cherry picked all across the genre and implemented with precision and care by a long time professional game developer.

You will laugh out loud, you will tear up, you will be excited, you will read and re-read sections of dialogue, you will stay up late to find out what happens. And when it is all done you will come back and play it again (and again) finding new depths every time. What you won't be is disappointed.

If that checks a lot of your boxes you're in for a heck of a ride.

What this game IS NOT:
This is not an FPS or twitch game. Nothing is 'timed', you can sit and think about a play for hours if you wish.
This is not a card game. The game uses cards, but it isn't some solitaire game. The combat uses some basic poker scoring as a battle mechanic, but that's where the similarity ends.
This is not a kinetic novel. This is a game and you have agency outside the primary story points. Your choices won't stop the story itself, but they will affect how things unfold along the way. If you don't build up your 'Military Points' (MP) Camelot's army takes heavy casualties, if you focus on MP will you have enough cash or Realm Points for other actions? If you opt to save one city, what happens to the one you don't?

Warning
If there is a problem with this game, it is that it raises the bar on AVN game play. After playing, it is not uncommon to see a player opine that it has 'ruined them' for other AVNs.
It's worth it, but you have been warned!



SUMMARY
This is the AVN you have been looking for.
Enjoy!


BOOK 1
Summary: I would give it six stars if i could.

(What follows is a repost of my review of this game on Steam)

This is a fun sandboxed adult (NSFW) visual fantasy novel.

Set in modern day England (err, sorry Katie, Scotland!) with magic, kings and legends, humor, sex, main quests, side-quests, a parallel reality 'elsewhere', elves, werewolves, gods, demi-gods (multiple pantheons), demons, mages, sorcerers, necromancy, prophecies, betrayal and a coming fight for the fate of the world all woven together.

The 'card games' tag refers to the combat system (how the MC visualizes order and chaos during magical combat). While combat is a significant activity and you'll be doing plenty of it, it doesn't require any great poker ability so don't come (or stay away) just for the cards. There are different types of combat magic that can be employed and that different opponents have differing resistance to. For example Poison has no effect on metal golems etc.

Lots of references and shout outs buried inside. There's also a wiki, walkthroughs, community out there.

If that checks a lot of your boxes you're in for a fun time, pick this gem up.

This game is extraordinary.

The one (1) area of possible improvement is the animation quantity quality. The animations that are there (especially after act 1 and 2) are either good enough frame-shifts or pretty solid video files. A statement which can be said about 99.5% of games out there.

Why does this game still get 5 stars if it has "room for improvement"?

1) the very best world building on this site. Even if every plot point was previously detailed in the Wide World of Arthurian Legend (I only know the basics) the story is perfectly paced, and described to the player.

2) top tier character narrative design. Most games about assembling a harem don't focus on who the haremeers were before the MC came into their lives. In this game everyone had a life before you get there and lived in a world you didnt know about. They have allegiances to outside factions and have plans that might not always align with yours.

3) the sandbox element is well handled, not too much grind - some sections feel a little same daday over and over a couple times. After act 1 this subsides a decent amount and afaik the game starts becoming more of a VN around act 3 or 4. If you hate sandbox games (like I do) this one might work out for you.

4) the broads and sex acts are varied and hot. Woulda liked more animations but the dialogue makes up for it. Also the cumshots look very good not like someone spilled whiteout on a headshot.
