I’ve never been a big fan of RPGM because it involves a lot of backtracking. I went into this game cautious expecting backtracking and lots of filler missions.
I could not have been anymore wrong. Lust Epidemic is an excellent piece of art. Where to start?
The
art assets and animations are beautiful and enjoyable to watch. There has clearly been a lot effort into crafting the scenes and the rooms as well as the animations. The H-scenes are super engaging and the female characters amazing. It’s got a bit of everything for everyone: straight, lesbian, milf, pregnancy.
The
gameplay is exactly what you’d expect to find in a RPGM, a little slow, lots of collecting and consequently a lot of backtracking. The slowness and constant backtracking is mitigated through the use of the teleport system which may be unlocked (albeit a little far into the story) and the use of the HYPER WALK SPEED which allowed me to speed through rooms, cutting out the most annoying parts of the game and increasing the pacing of the story.
Now to the best part of the game: the story. Initially I thought it would be a pretty run of the mill harem story with lots of confusing choices made by the characters which would eventually lead to H-scenes. After 10 minutes, it became clear to me this was not the case, there were times when I kept playing longer than I should have because I just wanted to find out what was next. What was the next part of the story? Would my questions be answered? I was captivated by the narrative which is well written and well-paced, I never found at anytime I was bored or exhausted from the story.
Bearing this in mind, I would have spent way longer trying to figure out some of the puzzles if it wasn’t for the comprehensive walkthrough. The maze would have been an absolute head-scratcher for me, no doubt about that.
Here are my thoughts summarised:
Pros
- Captivating narrative
- Excellent renders and beautifully crafted animations
- H-scenes and female characters are a treat
- Some options to mitigate the worst parts of RPGM
- Did I mention how awesome the narrative is
Cons
- Still a lot of backtracking
- Some objectives are hard to find sometimes (might be just me)
- You haven’t played it yet
As for
suggestions: Not much to be honest, I hope to see what you have installed for the future story-wise. If possible make objectives a little easier to see. Keep up the awesome job!
