It's a fun game with a few missed opportunities to be above average.
The Good.
The Meh.
The Bad. This game doesn't do anything bad actually. The grind is a bit annoying, but contributes to the tense feeling of the early game when finding food. The core of the game (combat and sex scenes) are good but many little things dull the experience down to average.
I'm putting this last paragraph at the end of the review because I didn't take it into account when rating the game (as is expected from the 3rd reviewing rule). I wrote this review after playing v0.66 Regular. More than 2 years had passed since the previous time I had played the game and yet ... Apart from a few animations and a new step in a quest, the game hasn't progressed. You should take this into account if you ever plan on supporting this project.
The Good.
- The combat is fun and the feeling of growing stronger is well dosed. There are many spells to choose from and this opens a lot of different ways of approaching combat.
- The game has its own artstyle so you won't see the same DAZ models you've already seen a hundred times. I personally like this western style.
- While they have similar sex scenes, each women have their own artworks and animations, they aren't just face-swapped.
The Meh.
- The game requires you to explore a city and each time you explore you may run into a random encounter. Some districts have specific encounters but still, there are so few encounters (like 5 ?) that it gets stale quite fast.
- Scavenging for food is fine. It's tense during the early game and trivial and fast later on. However, grinding for other ressources in parallel was boring ... I personally couldn't be bothered with gold so I just used console commands to bypass this part.
- The females, while looking different and having different (though limited) personalities, lack diversity. I would have appreciated more body sizes and skin colors.
- The women in MC's harem have two stats : love and submission. Apart from different dialog lines and unlocking the next sex scenes, these don't much more and can actually be raised at the same time. I would have prefered distinct paths with distinct scenes to encourage players to commit to one or the other and prevent them from playing the MC as both the kindest person on Earth and the biggest control freak at the same time.
- The writing is meh. It's functional and doesn't strive for more.
The Bad. This game doesn't do anything bad actually. The grind is a bit annoying, but contributes to the tense feeling of the early game when finding food. The core of the game (combat and sex scenes) are good but many little things dull the experience down to average.
