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

Gotta say, I am happy I pushed through at first. When I started book 1, I almost quit right away, because honestly, the Character models were in some creepy uncanny valley territory, but I kept going, and now done with book 3 I have to say, worth it^^

I honestly ended up liking it more as a Story game than a porn game. It had weak spots, Book 3 was kinda let down after book 2, it felt a bit sluggish,but the ending really saved it, and as a whole, I loved the story alot^^

Great work.

Likable personalities of the characters, together with solid story make this one very intrueguing game. Graphics are mostly fine as they seem to me to be working well with the game settings.

Sadly I'm not very fond of the repetitiveness of the gameplay itself. One is somewhat forced to use some type of walkthrough to get hold of everything the game offers without having to replay the game because of the lengthy combat and empty time spending (got bored eventually in second part as I replayed the first "book" because of missed scene).

Im in day 17 when Emily and the MC are naked in his room. The small talk is really bad and boring. The MC many times try to be funny and ends being cringe, and even sometimes he shows that actually he is just dumb. I dont know how a woman can love a guy that is just good looking but dumb as fuck. Like i said some of his comments or questions are just dumb and sometimes i dont know if they are meant to be jokes.
When he meat emily for first time, he already knows that magic exist, and when he see her coming from a portal he ask her if a drunk man is chasing her and if it is legal in the country to carry a weapon in the streets.
When he try to "seduce" the girls, it makes you feel stupid, because the cheap and stupid phrases that he use to flirt are more than bad.
Im almost in the middle of the game and I just saw a blowjob and nothing else, aside of seeing Emily naked, so it looks like the game is lacking on the porn side or some scenes are locked behind the NG+ or some days, actions.
The romantic scenes feel to cheesy to my taste and exagerated for my taste.
The grind is a lot, but luckly the game is pretty short.
The card minigame is boring and it gets old pretty fast and it doesnt help that the enemies at the start are so powerful, it takes you a lot of turns to kill them. If the minigames was skippable or it was just completely deleted, it would change nothing on the story side. It is clear that the card game it is there just to make the game longer.
The story is good enough, but the conversations are the worst part of the game and ruins it for me.

The character writing is well beyond fantastic... I honestly never expected to shed a tear to a hentai game... I will surely see if I can find a way to support this creator, even though I'm a poor sod - o7

A really nice game 5 stars just for the effort. It has a lot of lore, but you don’t need to remember all of it. Just the basic stuff is enough.

The story is really good. The sex scenes were decent-not the best, but not bad either. I recommend playing it with a walkthrough to see all the content. Almost all the characters were really well written.

Book 1: 2/5, pretty boring and what I'd say is a bad introduction to the game style. Buggy fast travel system, on the assumption that the character pictures in the fast travel map show where quests are, you shouldn't have no indication that you're supposed to go an area to talk to someone. I missed out on all the other over world girls (book girl, cafe girl, library girl?)

Book 2: 4/5, a lot more refined and the fast travel system has been fixed. When given a quest, the map properly responds. Story picks up and becomes really fun with lore.

Book 3: 3/5, what a useless final book. To keep it short everything you do in this book does not matter. It is essentially "it was all just a dream" type of ending. Also, throughout the books you can import a save to continue with your choices. Remember how I said I never met the book girl or cafe girl, well now it's forced that you have done their quest lines. Which just proves this book does not care

Complaints. The harem is weird. Protag only and will only, love the main LI, it is repeated over and over again that they were literally made for each other. It's even weirder that the other girls are essentially brainwashed into only ever loving him, the chosen that aren't in the harem, have literally spent centuries only ever thinking of ways to join their god. Chosen are brainwashed into only ever following their own god.

After slogging through Book 1 and Book 2, where the game kept getting more and more annoying, I played the first 5 hours of Book 3 and simply could not go a second more. It's terrible. The writing for all three books is extremely long-winded, boring, derivative, and sounds like it's written by a teenager.

There are far too many things wrong with the story and gameplay to list them all. On a positive note, several of the girls are really nice. But after wasting some 50 hours on on this game I'm so frustrated. I genuinely don't understand why Love of Magic has a good average rating. I'm really wondering what people enjoy about it. I'm assuming that people like the story since it's unlikely to be the gameplay or the sex scenes.

Speaking of... this porn game has far too little porn. And the few sex scenes there are include far too little actual sex, animations, etc.

The gameplay is a imo lackluster, point-and-click grind. It requires a walkthrough since it's quite counter intuitive.

By the way, imagine if you could see a count of the total number of mouse clicks you've had to use in this game. It will be staggering.

annoying game on rails with constant unskippable card minigame
that is less than fun
honestly game would be much better without cards
string of event itself don't rl let you chose the girls or anything you just keep being transported from 1 card game to another with boobs in between

PROS
The visuals are okay, kinda average looking. I'm more into story, as long as there are no grainy/low quality renders, I'm fine.

CONS
- The gameplay is akin to the old sandbox, super grindy games of the late 2010s era. 90% of the game is spent clicking on locations in addition to a card game for combat & grinding stats and money. Guess how you get money? By clicking on a button in the bar on a specific time each day. Very exciting. Sometimes you have literally no clue what to do as the quest log is barebones and isn't really informative, so you just have to click on locations on certain times of the day and pray one of them triggers an event to escape the grind. This style would've been okay in 2016 but for a game releasing (re-releasing?) in 2025, its just disappointing that they didn't really innovate like other sandbox devs in anyway to make it more exciting.
- There is lot of text-padding. A lot of text where really nothing is going on. Its doesn't really advance the plot in anyway just meaningless small talk. This just adds to the boredom as you're already making the player grind stats.
- Scenes are sparse in-between the text-padding and grind, feels like its not worth it after all grind. I had to force myself to finish Book 1 without cheats.
- Game doesn't really make use of any of the benefits of Unity, this should've been on Renpy. I don't think I've seen anything here that could not have been done in Renpy. I've played Renpy games with more intricate and dynamic minigames than the ones in here. Why not use a more optimized engine thats literally designed for VNs and trial & tested by many devs and loved by most players?
- Short H scenes which is hardly a reward after all the grind. The main girl is the usual super innocent LI thats clueless about anything sex-related. The rest are sidegirls that offer minimal fanservice while you go through the typically main girl slow burn.

A lot to read, boring to play, ugly to jerk.

Prolonged epilogue where you discover your unique ancestry and similar face features with dad of your crush. After that you get free roam where you do everyday routine to earn affection with many girls. And fight in poker game like with different mobs. I got bored very quickly after reading a ton of text and watching some spooky love scenes.
There are some pretty girls but to earn their affection you have to skip hrs of text and many uninteresting poker games so i dropped it after i got love scenes with 2 girls which was without any animations. I won't willing to continue and try other books.

Man,it's really a tough decision to delete this game in halfway considering the epic story.l strongly complain that the female lead , known as the fatal one, is really a erection killer.She looks horrible . I can't stand to view the cg about having sex with her.

Okay I’m not sure how I haven‘t reviewed this game already but here we go.

I’ve been following this since the end of book 1, and make no mistake about it, this is THE BEST fantasy story that’s been told in any AVN ever.

and that’s saying something because I absolutely despise sandbox games.

let me get the cons out of the way:

- I absolutely hate sandbox, but the fast travel feature saves the playability

- there are no crazy graphics to speak of since this Is more dialogue based with character sprites and the Occasional scene

- the poker fighting is largely uninteresting and becomes a pain in the ass really quickly. However the debug + auto fight buttons takes care of it nicely.

- to me this is minor since I don’t care about It much but the sex scenes were quite weak and unmemorable

Now the pros:

- Tons of content that will keep you entertained for a long time
- music is fantastic
- Main character Is not a wimp
- dialogue and world building are top notch
- super original magic system and adaptation of myths, especially since urban fantasy is a bitch of a genre to nail right
- super memorable scenes and set pieces ( I must’ve replayed the scene where the mc attacks Thor at the meeting 100 times)
- Love interests are very well balanced and well written , no unneeded drama and baggage just to raise their “complexity”, they’re complex enough through their own backstories

All of this just to say, that if you can get past the awful sandbox and weird combat ( please use debug and fast travel) you’ll be treated to the best fantasy story you’ll probably ever read on this site

Also Droid is a badass and his writing is extremely good. Also massive props for his out put and work ethic as he’s probably the most consistent creator ( also check Morningstar after it’s quite good)

A good game if you're here for the story and characters and want a good unique combat system. It's not a good adult title (porn game) overall.

Pros

• Excellent world building
• Excellent storytelling
• Excellent characters
• Excellent character development
• Excellent combat system

Book 1 - 4.5/5 stars
Book 2 - 3.5/5 stars
Book 3 - 2/5 stars

Books 1 & 2 are quite interesting with excellent world building and excellent storytelling. Then we get to Book 3 and it's groundhog day with a few twists. In Book 3 you're basically repeating a lot of what you did in Book 2 and a bit in Book 1. It feels like the dev ran out of story to tell.

Combat is good and meaningful in Book 1 and a walk in the park in Book 3. The MC is so powerful in Book 3 that he basically just destroys everyone by blinking his eyes. The only real challenge in Book 3 is finding the quest triggers.

Sex scenes are average to poor. The first time or two you have sex with a character the sex scenes are average; after that poor, short, and boring. Sex scenes are not the emphasis with this game, more like an afterthought. There's a ton of story and grind between sex scenes. There's numerous spots in the game where a sex scene would be very appropriate and it feels like the author avoids them intentionally. It's rare to find a game where the author is great at both storytelling and sex scenes and this applies here.

I also dislike that the game was written in Unity for the following reasons. This prevents the player community from easily modding it or making in-game walkthroughs. It also does weird things like only showing the background image on save game thumbnails instead of what's actually shown on the screen like most other game engines. This makes it impossible to tell (by the image) what save game you're loading (content wise). I also encountered bugs where some of the animations would stop abruptly when advancing the text.

The characters are well written with good character development which is a huge plus. The characters are fun and interesting.

I disliked the game mechanic where you would start the day in the morning and then if you did any activity, no matter how small (even having a short conversation with someone), it would instantly take you to evening. Ten freaking hours gone just like that!

The combat mechanics are well done overall with a unique and clever poker & gem system. In Book 2 the MC cannot die as he can never go below 1 HP. This makes combat somewhat pointless and less challenging. The MC fights some really powerful creatures in Book 2 and perhaps the author did this because too many players were dying. This mechanic should have been removed with a more balanced combat experience.

The Chosen are quite unbalanced in their abilities. For most groups I use Emily, Molly, and Bella. If I'm fighting tough enemies that do lots of damage I'll swap in Dylan for healing, switching out Molly or Bella. I use Emily whenever she's available since she's good at both damage and shields. Katie is a good choice in Book 1 but loses effectiveness to better Chosen in Books 2 & 3. Based on my experience with the game, there's little reason to choose the other Chosen in your group which is unfortunate. I wish I had a more difficult time deciding who to add to my adventuring party (if they were all equally balanced) but the choice was quite easy for me.

One annoying thing about some of the chosen abilities is that the MC has to thank them each time after using their special ability. It's highly annoying and completely unnecessary (extra mouse clicks).

One funny thing about combat is that your adventuring party can instantly kill any enemy with 2,000 hit points or less. Emily's Dragonslayer ability does 1,000 damage and once Bella gets Thor's hammer she does 1,000 hit points of damage also. So if the enemy has 2,000 hit points or less they never get a turn and it's super easy experience where the MC himself doesn't have to lift a finger.

Another annoying thing about combat is that the dev gives some of the enemies an insane amount of hit points. So some enemy battles go on for nearly an eternity. Why? It's mindless fighting as I'm repeating the same steps to defeat the enemy, only I'm repeating the same steps 100 times. These long drawn out battles don't respect the player's time. Way too much boring repetition with high hit point enemies!

In Book 3 I disliked the interactions between Emily and the MC. I got annoyed that she kept calling me her Tomcat. I didn't enjoy the alternate timeline and reliving most of what I accomplished in Books 1 & 2. I disliked the entire direction that the dev took with Book 3.

So it really depends on what you're looking for. I personally feel that Books 1 & 2 are worth a playthrough. Book 3 was disappointing.

book 1 hardest difficulty:
-5/10
-the 3d modeling combined with the Live2D is nice although there isn't much variance in the girls bodytypes so hope you like skinny. some of the faces are very nice.
-the ero scenes can be bland; the male protag ruins most of the scenes he participates in
-there is no sandbox
-the dialogue gets extremely repetitive after about day 80 which is when i started skimming through it all. the writing somehow manages to be more bland than the 2008 merlin tv show it takes its inspiration from.
-the card "combat" is boring and repetitive which is why you'll wanna utilize the skip function that's left on by default so you don't waste any more of your time than the story is already wasting. all story combat is unlosable.
-difficulty doesn't matter as eventually you get overpowered companion skills

book 2:
TBD

book 3:
TBD

My favorite game of all time. Hands down, no question. Great characters, incredible story, fantastic mechanics. Really, Droid is a god among men. I'll be watching his career with great interest and look forward to anything he makes.

Great game love to have more of the magic, only thing that i dislikes was lighting could be a bit better for my taste it was a bit gloomy. Dev seems like a good guy i hope he sees this review and works on it and would like to add one more thing the magic and the wilderness gets me closer to cum but the lights are too gloomy so i close my eyes when im done.

This is my first time actually writing a review, so that should speak to this game having some impact. Unfortunately, now that it's done, that impact is a bit of a mixed one.

Starting with the high points, the premise and the worldbuilding are fun and engaging. Magical realism generally walks a thin line between over-explaining and lampshading, and I think the bulk of this story walks that line very comfortably. It's rare playing an adult game and having its story really stick with you like this one does. Apart from at-times-mediocre romance and corny dialogue (especially from the MC) I think the writing is the major appeal here. I also want to give special praise for the combat system, because it's a fun and clever game with a fun in-universe justification.

That said, the writer(s) got a bit lost sniffing their own farts in Book 3. Where 1 & 2 were engaging, original, and tense, Book 3 becomes a bland power fantasy weighed down by a college freshman's purple prose. The RPG elements are largely, if not entirely, pointless in Book 3. Most conflict is resolved immediately by the MC's excessive powers, and what little combat is involved in Book 3 is laughably easy with the tools given. It's clear there were some behind-the-scenes issues in plot development, considering they really emphasize a new mechanic (rage) that ends up being irrelevant and abandoned by the middle of the book. The story wraps up with a milquetoast "happy ending" that spends too much time setting up entirely new plot threads for a sequel. Unfortunately, the finale just leaves everything on a sour note.

As far as the sex scenes, they're not great. Most of the character models are good quality and well-designed, but the scenes themselves are largely boring. It's almost entirely run-of-the-mill hetero vanilla sex, with a handful of group sex encounters, but the CGs are underwhelming and the animations are messy. I had hoped they'd improve those skills with time, but even at the end it wasn't much to look at.

At the end of Book 2, I likely would've given this a 5 based on writing and hope for the next installment. But after seeing how it all came together, I don't think I can put it above a 3. It's hard to get past the disappointment of seeing something interesting become boring.

One of the best adult games I have played and a personal favorite. Love of Magic features one of the best stories I've ever had the joy of experiencing. It felt like Camelot, Tolkien, and the MCU all colliding in the best way possible. I cared way more about the story and characters than the "adult" aspects of the game, not that some of those moments weren't great. Life changing experience that will have me following all the developer's future projects.

This game is just a wall of text with some janky adult content sprinkled in. There’s way too much dialogue, and none of it is interesting. Scenes are spaced out so far apart that by the time you get to one, you’ve already lost interest. The characters? Bland as hell. The story? Feels like a cringy fanfic written by a 13-year-old from tumblr.
The porn scenes are absolute garbage. The animations are stiff, the quality is bad, and there’s nothing but vanilla stuff—no spice, no variety, just straight-up boring. The models look weird and uncanny, which doesn’t help.
Even as a game, it sucks. The combat is boring, the progression is pointless, and the whole thing feels like it has no idea who it’s even made for. I honestly can’t think of a single reason to play this.

One of the best games on the site. The story is top rate, the visual stunning, and the UI pleasant (something that is rare for Unity games). The game is just as worthwhile for all the banter and inter-personal relationship building as for the lewd scenes (though those are good too). This is a massive game that is well worth every second spent on it.
