Others - Completed - Lunar Crisis [v1.3a] [Vosmug]

Loved this game. It was fun solving puzzles and helping aliens fuck girls. I saw many comments on how this game was an example on why Male protagonist in games shouldn't be a thing in porn games and I think that is harsh. This game had a great story, fun gameplay and multiple endings. I also love male protagonist games, so don't listen to those nay Sayers. I will say this, though. Lots of missed opportunities in this game as a male protagonist who is evolving into an alien with tentacles and the ability to eventually fuse other alien DNA with his own to do things. For all the cool and neat tricks your character can do in the game from start to finish, the MC rarely gets any action himself. He mainly helps other aliens fuck the girls even when he becomes one of the most dangerous and gifted aliens the lore in the game has to offer. There are a few scenes mind you where he gets to fuck girls, but they are mainly towards the end of the game unless you don't mind getting the worst ending, in which case you can fuck 2 girls mid game rather than late game. It really is a missed opportunity and begs the question of why the developer had the MC be a male in the first place if he spends most of the game letting aliens fuck girls. At least as a female protagonist, the MC probably would have gotten a lot more action.

It's a fun game for a single playthrough. Probably not worth it for all endings, however. You need a guide to get the best ending as what it wants you to do for the final catalyst to get it isn't obvious even if you manage to get half of it right. All in all I am giving this game 4.5 stars. What it sets out to do I believe it accomplishes it pretty well, so the rating should tell of that.

it was not a half bad puzzle game with some porn here and there it probs ramps up more near end of game i think im somewhere near the late middle to early begging of end right now will probably finish it when i have some time

A competent game all throughout. There is a lot of dedication from a single developer, and it shows: the story is very engaging, and makes you wonder if the protagonist really is as evil as his action make him seem (could be justisfiable by wanting to survive, and then alien DNA influence, for example).
The scenes are pretty hot, and there is an increase in quantity and quality as you play. Mostly it's rape, which in such a serious story made me a little sad. At least the numerous female characters aren't just there to take it, they plan against you (and each other), which makes for interesting adversaries.
The gameplay starts as very cyclical, but soon that day to day stability is disrupted: story wise it's great, puzzle wise I liked it a lot less,. For example the unique ability of driving a drone for subterfuge, de-evolves into something more restrictive, and then... it's lost and forgotten. Pity
Bear in mind that despite my personal critique, it's still deserves the highest score for the sheer effort that a solo dev has to output ta achieve such a project!

A walking simulator from left to right and right to left and back. Boring scenes as well. Chars are okay. Not much nsfw in the game at all. The main Char a cyborg, boring personality, helping aliens to get some human puss and the scenes are few and far between if at all.

Theres an actual game to this game, which is honestly super refreshing. Story was good, h-scenes were good to decent, but the biggest thing to me was characters had actual character and h-scenes were tailored to that. Run time is good, not too long/short. Really impressive game

one of the best game i have played in 2024. Absolutely amazing game. Mocks every political ideology perfectly. But make no mistake, the game definitely doesn't come across like the creators are centrists

Honestly, came here for some porn, stayed for plot. Really good sci-fi and i really like playing as antagonist, good game. Animation is a little dissapointing because they are nice, but most of them has no ending, like cumming and things like that, but overall stayed for plot, heh.

So finished the 75% ending (can't get it through to 100% because of this crash issue, oh well).

It was a year since I've played this game for the first time, and I really got stick in for hours, when I knew there'll be a "definitive edition", I refrained myself to replay this game until the update comes out, and well, so I did.

[GAMEPLAY]

Its a very basic gameplay there, do some puzzles to advance in the story, I honestly think sometimes the pacing are too slow for the replayability, it can be reaaaaly dragging out sometimes.

Can't complain that much since didn't got too much trouble to figure out what to do. The game is really straightforward and leaves a little room to fuck around aimlessly, but it does have some parts people can get lost (like the copper wire).

[STORY]
its been a while since I've played xenotake so can't tell how much is connected to this game except for the ending sequence. The plot itself is really okay by the porn games standards, I really do like how the situation gradualy escalate to the point of no return, its a way better comparing of those hypnosis/corruption dumb games where the main character easily manipulates the girls to get laid, this has a cleary buildup and this version made it a lot rewarding experience than the previous one. There's some plot incoerencies here and there but I think is passable for me.

[H-SCENES]
v1.3 peaked a lot with that,I know it might be very subjective but i really do enjoy vos artstyle, and the handmade animations are very well crafted and you can see a lot of effort put it through, now a silly complain about this

Veredict: this is a genuine quality game out here, still has some technical problems like game crashing, bugs, etc. But you can't deny that vosmug unlike many other devs, genuinely care about his project and improved it a lot, without just abandoning while leeching their supporter's money, so yeah, this game has a lot of value behind it, and I appreciate a lot.

Okay, straight up, choosing a keyboard layout for movement and selecting items in the world was a big mistake. The game isn't suited at all for the 'combat' section towards the end, but even without it, it's a pain to stop every two seconds and swap between five different keys when a single left click would have been enough. Some puzzle sections can be really obtuse too.

With that said, this is a really polished game. I was suprised by the amount of assets that came into it; there are cutscenes with 3D models, fully animated 2D sprites, voice-acting, sound effects and special music, the dev really went all-in in this project. It's nice seeing a dev putting so much effort and care into his game, and bringing it to completion without abandoning it halfway through like so many other.

Apart from the weird key binding choice, I do have to agree that the adult scenes are very few and far between, with a lot of text and gameplay sessions separating them. Some of them also suffer from being slight variants of the same pose, and all of them suffer from being very vanilla, which is a shame for a game of this scale. Thankfully they're propped up by the context the story puts them in, which makes them much more attracting considering what the characters endured up until this point.

I also find the story quite entertaining. Like the other players, I don't care whatsoever about the lore, you can just ignore any log screens throughout the game and you'll have no trouble understanding what's going on; on top of making the game that much shorter. But the events themselves are interesting; the characters' personalities are nothing you haven't seen before, but I adore how competent and determined the MC is, he's a fucking terminator that just won't die and will do anything to reach his goal, and it's great to see it unfold here.

The game has multiple endings, and for what I've seen on the walkthrough and the comments, it's just the same ending but truncated at different moments. Honestly whatever ending is fine, play the game once and then look up what happens next in the walkthrough, you won't miss anything amazing, not even the adult content.

Overall, it's well made, with a few missteps and odd design decisions, but nothing game-ruining. It has a nice story that's suprisingly long, but don't except that many branching paths, they all converge very quickly and aren't worth doing the game all over again for them.

Almost no naughty stuff, walking left and right for nothing, quite frustrating game, if you don't have time to waste for a quick fap, that's not the game for you. Go do something useful outside hah. Definitely liked the previous game way better

Honestly the reason this gets 3 stars and not 1 or 2 for me is that I do find the uniqueness of the gameplay interesting, if slightly less explored than they should be, and the animations are, as usual with Vosmug, amazing and probably the major selling point.

However, like I said in a comment on the game thread, I kinda feel as if the game would have been infinitely more enjoyable if we weren't playing the current mc. Similar story, same point and click mechanic stuff, but switching between the girls perspectives at specific points Until Dawn style instead would've probably made this way more memorable, and probably better than their other games in my personal opinion.

[GAMEPLAY]
A nice to play puzzle game. One of a few that doesn't really rushes or stressing out players.

Except for the final battle, players doesn't really need to brainstorming decisions due to the timer feature being nonexistent. They can take their time navigating whiteout worries.

Game aren't really optimized, this is just my hunch but I think the sprites are way too "polished" than needed, making the game laggy at times. This has been a known performance issues for Vosmug games.

And as I tend to play 2D games on my working PC, which is basically not a current meta specs, I find myself playing the game like 2~3 times the length of the supposed playtime.

[STORY]
Good enough. Not exactly nice, but definitely not the worst. While the plot setting is good to me, there are still suspensions. Due to the ending are not exactly good, its not bad, but I can't find it as bittersweet either.

[VISUAL]
High-Quality sprites is one of this game charms, I honestly, I find that was one of the few that causes the game performance to drop? But then again, I can't really say it is.

[CONTENT]
Honestly, I am not really into orgies. So I can't really say that I enjoyed the erotic contents that this game has offered. But I do find the content is indeed just enough without doubt.

Unpolished mess of a game, If you ignore the "Nostalgia" from vosmog then the game is realy bad. Its slow, unclear, buggy, and the H scenes are very meh.
It took me so long to figure out what to do at certain points, failing over and over because I didnt see the smallest little thing that I could interact with, putting me all the way back every damn time. Its not a fun experience

First I would like to say that Vosmug has shown once again how they can make great games. Secondly, this game has a gripping and well-developed storyline.
However, the game could have been even better. Unfortunately, there are very few sex scenes in the game. Moreover, if in Xenotake such scenes were present throughout the entire game, then in this game they are present only in certain levels... It's also sad that the gallery is worthless.
I also didn't really enjoy controlling the robot throughout the game. It would be nice if the main characters that the player controls were women. As it was in the previous games of vosmug.

Vosmug games never disappoint... This one has a different game play than the previous ones, but it is not a problem... The game has a great story and the long tied scenes of the enslaved girls are a big turn on...

Enjoyable bit slow paced though and less content than expected, still a nice story and abt 5ish hours of gameplay, having a sprint button would improve it a lot though.

Overall fun and worth the time spent, pretty hot also.

This game is amazing, I was with the intention of taking out the poison and stop playing it, but I ended up playing it for the story, it is very good game!!!!!
I highly recommend it
Can you recommend more games like this?

Honestly....pretty damn good game. Didn't expect it to be as long as it was and how the story turned out genuinely surprised me.
I have 2 problems with the game though:

> There's only three scene in the whole game where you, the player get to have sex with one of the girls. Most of the scenes are you making opportunities for the girls to get fucked by aliens. Which is fine, I enjoyed it quite a bit. But I know its not for everyone

> Those damn controls bruh.....got me confused so many times. Should've just integrated mouse as well.

Overall, really good game. I'd suggest using the guide available in this thread.

I have to say, I was expecting a lot less after reading all the negative comments and reviews, but I actually ended up being very pleasantly surprised. And the main reason for that is something that very few hentai game devs manage to pull off properly - integration of the hentai within the actual story of the game.

Yes, the scenes are rather basic, most of them lack different phases, the loops are short, the 2D model quality isn't the greatest...but all of that is compensated for by the fact that there is a build-up to the scenes. You first get to see all those characters play their part in the story and THEN you get to the scenes (even if the first one does take a bit too long to occur). It's hard to emphasize enough how much the context surrounding a scene can elevate what would otherwise be a very boring 1-second loop in isolation. It's apparently even harder for devs to grasp this concept seeing how many games still only offer the hentai as part of the combat or during game-overs.

As for the gameplay, it was OK, certainly not the main selling point here. It's very linear and it all boils down to figuring out how to go from A->B->C->D, but it does its job. It's simply a means of progressing the story and getting to the scenes.

Overall, it really shows that Vosmug is a very experienced hentai dev because he's demonstrated that you don't need the fanciest graphics or the most detailed animations to achieve eroticism, which is the main point of these types of games. I would objectively rate Lunar Crisis 4/5, but I'm giving it 5 stars to counterbalance some of the bizarre 1-star reviews here. Also, as of writing this review Vosmug's in the middle of enhancing and expanding the scenes even further as part of a future update, so once that's done I believe the 5-star rating would be well-deserved indeed.

This game at face value would be a 3. But if you actually look at it a bit more deeper, it falls apart on so many levels it's not even funny.
Let's start off with the basics, Vosmug's other games are very highly liked games. I played them and they were fun. But this game departs from the formulae those games set soo much it almost feels like it was made by a different person, for example if a foot fetish artist suddenly started making armpit fetish art instead.
Previous games had girl protagonists that were mildly interesting, this game has a bland, voiceless cyborg dude whose sole motivation is to escape... Does that sound like an enticin plot for a hentai game? No, the sole reason it's a hentai game is because the dude is prisoner on a ship with other horny aliens. Previous games were action games with battlefuck, this one is a point and click adventure...

Story is nothing special, it has some intriguing plotlines but the reality is this is a porn game made by a hentai game developer. You're not getting a groundbreaking narrative explaining the dichotomy of good and evil. Overall the story mostly just feels like a person trying to create his own universe but forgot he's making a porn game not a novel. Inbetween the writing he realises "Oh shit! I gotta add porn for the people that pay for my shit!" And adds a few seconds long, looped animation that you'll probably look at for a whole of 10 second before continuing. And yeah, it's Vosmug so the art looks good, if a bit samey to his previous work but goddamn the lack of H scenes in this game is a travesty compared to his previous works. Not to mention most scenes don't even have a climax animation... Yeah...

Controls are unintuitive as hell, at one point your drone gets replaced with a bug and for some reason the "use" button for them gets replaced with a different button... I have absolutely no idea why and the game doesn't even tell you it did that.

Now here's the kicker, any positive this game seemingly has is also a negative. Except I guess for the story since some people actually consider the story to be amazing... I wish I knew what they were smoking.
- You like the girls? Too bad, they barely have any scenes.
- You like the drone "minigame" and think it has potential? Too bad it's barely utilized for anything interesting. Not to mention you lose it eventually.
- You like having multiple choices? Too bad, aside from different endings nothing much else comes of it.
- The game actually holds your attention, problem is the reason it does that is because of anticipation. Which never pays off unless you like the story, I guess...

Funny thing this game has multiple endings, but what should games with multiple endings have you might ask? Plenty of content that makes you want to replay it, or in other words... Replayability. Not this game, I have no idea why it has multiple endings as apart from the story which is heavily hit and miss, it has absolutely NO replay value what so ever.

But the biggest thing to me, that made me drop my score to a one star is the fact that the game has been worked on for FIVE GODDAMN YEARS! Five! For this barely "H game" barely "actual game" game... Unless you REALLY like the story, or you just (REDACTED ) this game will bore you to tears.

Now with the negative out of the way, let's talk about the few positives.

The game will (if you go into it blind, which, if you read this review you wouldn't) Will actually hold your attention, but for the wrong reason. Anticipation. It's a Vosmug game so if you play it blind like me, it kept me engaged as I was hoping for a good pay off, good scenes or something interesting... ANYTHING! But nothing like that happens so while the game will hold the attention of those going in blind, ultimately if the story didn't resonate with you, you will be left completely and utterly blue balled.

The galery is actually not bad. I assume it was worse before as a lot of people hated it but it's not bad now. It's basically an asset viewer, which, in any other game would be annoying since it's a bitch to view scenes that aren't just loops of the same animation. In this game, since it has a severe lack of climax scenes you can just put in 4 of your favourite girls or even more on an animation of your choice and that's it. Ironically the lack of H scenes and variations is the reason the gallery isn't bad. Controls are annoying but meh.

TLDR; This game feels like it's trying to reach for the sun but barely reached the clouds. It's trying to be everything all at once but failing to be anything more than mediocre at all of it.
