Unity - Completed - Lust Vampyres - Von Trell and Mewy Harker [Final] [Knot Games]

Great for an actual game with pornographic elements. The writing is decently funny and the game is just short enough that you're probably not burnt out from the slow fights.
The game has some drawbacks, like the visuals being confusing or not being able to find the upgrades in the 3D rendered world. But the tactical fighting is solid and deep enough to be fun for the lenght of this game.
The artstyle is certainly an aquired taste, but even if it's not doing it for you erotically then the drawings should at least be rather endearing with their short animations and varied expressions.

Solid game with some notable flaws. I'll split them up a bit for clarity
Exploring:
1. Sometimes dialogue plays on a loop, no matter how many times it's been seen. This is particularly annoying with the ball rolling puzzle, because every time you exit a battle, the sound effects and conversation will play as if you just solved the puzzle.
2. Pickups are hard to distinguish from regular props. There's no way to tell at a glance if a book lying on a desk is one that will upgrade a skill or a useless one that doesn't do anything. The first time I played, I didn't end up grabbing healing items, resistance crystals, or empty bottles simply because I didn't know they were things I COULD grab. A soft glow or particle effect when the player is close would help these stand out more.
3. there's no way to tell when defeated enemies will get back up. this one is more an annoyance than a flaw, but I didn't even know they COULD get back up until I was coming back from the sewers and blindly stumbled into the first enemy. a timer of some kind would be nice to help remind and inform players would be appreciated.
Combat:
1. Some skills are just worthless without upgrades since they are missing the features that make them worth using. Sexy Dance and Masturbation are just a waste of an action point at level 1.
2. Priestess enemies are more annoying to fight than hard, especially in early game. Enemy healing is always annoying(something even joked about in-game) but while the healing is negligible late game, early game it just drags things out, especially if you don't have any upgrades for Spank. In my first playthrough, I got jumped by the lone level 5 priestess at level 2 and a FRUSTRATING amount of turns just ended up being me dealing 40 damage then her healing 40 damage.
3. You can lose a fight due to RNG, and that's not a great feeling. The arousal system works great with enemies, good risk reward of spending an action point to try and seduce an enemy with low arousal to possibly knock them out early is great. Less great is when an enemy just knocking you out at those low percentages. Adding a little minigame could help with that, maybe mashing the spacebar to resist the temptation. The higher your arousal, the more you need to mash with you just autolosing if you're at 100%. But it hardly matters since:
4. Losing is meaningless once you have Purification. Early, losing means you gain more corruption, ticking ever closer to 100 and a game over. But once you get Purification, the 10 you gain can be immediately canceled out by the 30 you can heal.
UI:
1. Some of the menus feel clunky and irritating to use. Not in any game-breaking or egregious way, but it's little things in combat like having to click the skill you want to use every time rather than the game remembering the last skill you used, or having to enter a mini pause screen to use the two exploration skills and the ACTUAL pause screen. There's also no way I can find to quit to the main menu mid-battle.
2. The gallery is just... kind of broken? If you open it straight after launching the game, everything is fine. But if you close and open it again, or open it after starting the main game, the layout and sizing break if the game is in full screen. Buttons are sized and positioned as if the game were in windowed mode, as are the animations themselves. Additionally, the Horny Water animation will just play repeatedly until you return to the main menu.

I hope this criticism doesn't discourage you, I enjoyed my time playing your game and think it's a solid foundation for a larger game if you want to do that. The art was good and the combat was satisfying when you had all the tools. If you ever want/need another playtester, I'm always happy to help. Game devs should help each other and all that.

It's ok.

- It's stupid hard, and boring, at the start but that quickly changes. I think this needs to start at "level 2" power, instead of one. Seriously, attack, wait for animation, enemy attack, wait for animation, over-and-over, ten plus times in a row is a horrible way to introduce somebody to a game. At level two, the dude gets to swing twice, which halves the problem, at least.

- At max level (5) the fights are easy, but by then you've seen everything and it's repetitive. More animations, more monsters, or just a skip-animation button would help here.

- I don't understand the fetish for super dark maps with bad lighting. I swear, after Doom 3, half the game design world got a priapism for keeping the player literally in the dark. It's annoying. The dude's picking up candles. There's candles on the walls. Just grab more candles. Fuck.

- I'm admittedly terrible at mazes. I got lost in the damned sewers for over an hour before finding a way to open the grate. Worse, I seem to have missed a key somewhere and can't open a different door. I've spent another hour aimlessly wandering, trying to find it, and I give up. Put in a map. It doesn't have to tell me where the key is, but some kind of navigation guide would make this bearable.

As I said, it's alright. I'm glad I saw it, but it has no replay value and I have no desire to spend another hour finding that damned key. It's the same fights repeatedly. I can't figure out where I'm going, partially because I can't see more than five feet in front of my face. Thanks for the couple fun hours.

Excellent game, very fun, a very different mechanic from what we commonly see, in addition to being strangely very erotic and challenging.
As a weak point, it can be a little repetitive due to the low variety of enemies and the graphics could be better, maybe a cartoon texture in 3d would help.
This producer's art and games have a lot of potential, looking forward to seeing more.
I'm a 3d artist, if you need you can contact me and I can help with some models.

I like games where you fight against succubi and they try to fuck you and you as well. So to no surprise its the knot game i enjoyed the most. There is also art and animation/tweening for every single move. It makes me wonder if the artist even sleeps.
The reason why i dont give it full five stars is because the combat is a bit dull but whats worse is how long it takes. Sometimes you pray that an enemy doesnt discover you or else you are stuck in a battle that overstays its welcome. The 3D dungeon crawling is a nice a touch and honestly i prefer anything over rpgmaker/Ren'Py at this point.

Overall a good game from a gameplay (and mostly art) standpoint. to break it down:

Gameplay:
Overall, the gameplay loop was fairly easy and straightforward. It is a little hard at level 1, and that is the only time I lost a battle. If you continue to explore and collect the books to upgrade your powers, you will not have any problems beating most enemies. The battles themselves mainly consist of the male character dealing damage and the female character either dealing large amounts of damage or taking the support role with heals or shields. It can be fairly punishing at the beginning if you don't follow a specific route, but even at level 2 I felt like the combat was reasonable with just enough challenge. Outside of the combat, there was a lot of exploration and many rooms to see, as well as some funny dialogue between the two main characters throughout. It could be a little confusing at times, as you get a map about halfway through the game, and even navigating with the map is sometimes hard if you don't remember the layout.

Art:
I have mixed feelings about the art in this game. On one hand, the animations are quite good and mostly fleshed out. On the other, they are the same for pretty much the entire game. Once you fight a certain "type" of enemy once, you've likely seen 90% of the scenes they offer, and as far as I can tell, there are no external scenes with characters except for a few between companions (that usually have a negative effect, such as the female character not being able to participate in the next fight, almost guaranteeing a loss). That, combined with the overall low resolution of the game, make it quite frustrating in the porn category.

Overall, I was pretty happy with this game, but I would not go into it expecting too much. Although I'm usually not a huge gameplay-oriented person in these games, I was very impressed with how captivated I was by the mechanics of the fight system. However, it seemed to fall short in its art and the amount that was given to the player over time. I'd say 5/5 gameplay and 3/5 art, therefore averaging to a 4.

Game is bad,
the combat system is not clear, the text disappears too quickly, and if you read English slowly(ESL -Eng.second lang.), you don’t have time to read it, the button system in battle is not clear, I lost twice without understanding how,
the pictures of the characters are the same, even during the dialogues, is it really impossible to add a variety of static pictures during the dialogues? The sounds are annoying? and the game is ANOYING.
P.S.: on steam i would get my money back and leave a devastating comment so that players don't buy it.

Hands Down one of the Best Hentai games that i played, but let's understand why.

For the ones that are here to understand if the game is worth or not to be played let me be your light in the darkness.

First of all this is another game of the Developers Team KNOT GAMES, the ones that Created Elana Champion of Lust and just this is an awesome start because the Art style of KNOT GAMES is Unique in the H Videogames world.


GAMEPLAY !

The in game Mechanics are as easy as cool to use and enjoy and are based on the Playstyle of the famous Game DOOM.

You're in a 3D world where you can move, click on different things on the map and can find different SPECIAL ITEMS that will help you to improve your TOTAL POWER in game like the different SKILL BOOKS or KEYS to open doors or POTIONS and RESISTANCE CRYSTALS that will Increase Permanently your Max " HP BAR " called Resistance and even a MAP that sadly will be totally useless tho.

During the Exploration of the in game 3D Map you will encounter 4 different Types of ENEMIES and 1 Final BOSS at the end of the Adventure in the last Room of the Map.
Each Enemy will have different animations, reactions to your Skills and Weaknesses but mainly they will all be easy to defeat using the same skills again and again.

The main Gameplay in this game is to explore and click on things to find Easter eggs, cool comments and Items and the second Gameplay is during the battles with Enemies where you will mainly reduce their " HP Bar " Using Damage Skills to let them give up on the fight and then challenge them to have sex.

Each ENEMY have a LOSE and WIN Special ANIMATIONS, depending on the the Win or Lose of the Fight you will see a different ANIMATION at the end, including the end game FINAL BOSS.

That's it, there' not much else to do in the game, you will sometimes use Empty Bottles that you can find in the Map to interact with your Partner having Sexual Actions with her.


LEVEL SYSTEM !

Talking about the second most important thing after SKILLS Upgrades we have the LEVEL SYSTEM that is mainly a system to increase TOTAL POWER and the Actions that you can do during a single Turn.

It works in this way:

1] You can reach a MAX of 5 Levels. After the level 5 You will not get anymore EXP.

2] With each Level up you will increase the Actions per Turn of your main Character called TRELL.

3] At Level 5 you will have a total of 4 Actions for TRELL and 2 Actions for MEWY, making the game way easier.

4] You can speed run the game forcing fights with stronger enemies but it's highly recommended to first find SKILL BOOKS to increase the total damage dealt with Skills during a fight. Defeating stronger enemies will give you way more EXP and will make all the Level up process way Faster.

5] The only way to get EXP is Deafeating ENEMIES, nothing else in the game will give you EXP.


LORE AND PLOT !

If you played Elana Champion of Lust then you know already how KNOT GAMES thinks. They're amazing in the story writing and makes always something funny and cool to enjoy.

This game is not only a Fap Content game, the story is cool, the dialogues are cool and the PLOT TWIST at the end is definitely interesting and enjoyable, making this game worth to be fully played and not just used to fap.


ENEMIES !

The Enemies in game are definitely not enough.

Just 4 Different Types and a Special Final BOSS. knowing KNOT GAMES i was definitely expecting way more enemies and way more animations but looks like it's a short game so we have to accept it as it is.

The Enemies are well characterized and different, but some Enemies are similar and may confuse you at the start. All of them have different Animations and different React Animations for your Skills, KNOT GAMES did an amazing work in this part of the game for sure.

Talking about the FINAL BOSS, She's for sure the most attractive one and is the hardest Enemy to defeat. She uses a lot of SKILLS, can heal herself and can do all the king of Attacks that she wants, attacking more than 1 time per Turn.
You have to be sure to be prepaired to Fight her or you will have to go back and Grind more.


PARTNERS !

You just have 1 Partner, that's it.

Sadly i got disappointed when i noticed that there's no way to unlock more Partners during the game and that you have to enjoy the presence of just 1 Partner in your Team.

Knowing well KNOT GAMES i was expecting a full Team of Party Members with different Roles and Skills as in other games that they've made but again this is a Short game and sadly we have to accept the fact that it's limited.


SKILL BOOKS !

During your Exploration you will find doors and hidden zones where you will be able to find SKILL BOOKS to power up your Skills.

Each SKILL have 3 different LEVELS:

Level 1 : Recognized by a Bronze colour this Skills are the BASE versions of the Unlocked SKILLS during the adventure.

Level 2 : Recognized by a Silver colour this Skills are the EVOLVED versions of the Level 1 SKILLS and do a lot of more damage unlocking Special Buffs/Nerfs Effects.

Level 3 : Recognized by a Gold colour this Skills are the MOST POWERFUL versions of your SKILLS and are usually game changers.

The amount of Skills present in the game is acceptable as the Skills are not the main intertaining thing of the game. They're funny and exciting to watch and are definitely well made, well done KNOT GAMES, you never disappoint in this part.


GALLERY !

And now let's end the Review with the Most Important thing in the game, the GALLERY.

Yes, the game have a GALLERY but sadly to unlock it you have to defeat at least once the FINAL BOSS.

The most beautiful thing about the Gallery is that even if you dont Unlock everything during your Adventure but just run and defeat the FINAL BOSS you will, thanks to KNOT GAMES, still unlock everything in the FULL GALLERY of the game, this is simply awesome.

The gallery is also well made and really enjoyable, definitely an incredible work here as alsways by KNOT GAMES.


PERSONAL EXPERIENCE !

Not gonna lie, i hate this game so much...

Not because is bad or not enjoyable but because it's short, like really short damn.

I could have end the game speed running it in probably 20 minutes doing it all and Unlocking this way the Full GALLERY to fap but i enjoyed so much the game that i decided to enjoy this awesome experience like a AAA game and started to take it slow and enjoy every comment, dialogue and story easter egg during the adventure reaching 4 hours of gameplay.

We can definitely say it, i came for Porn and i stayed for the game, and what a game ladies and gentlemen.

I really hope they make the 2nd Episode or the Sequel of this game because it was one of the best experiences that i even had in a H Game in my life hands down.

The Final vote is of course a 5 of 5 Stars but it would have been 10 stars of 5 if the game was way longer with more Enemies, Secret Bosses, more Party Members, Special Clothes and more Skills to finish Enemies with, let's hope that one of the future games of KNOT GAMES is gonna be a sequel of Lust Vampyres.

5 / 5 PROMOTED !!!

Very fun game to play, the dialogues are very funny and the combat system is also quite fun, although a bit slow sometimes. The art is overall amazing.
It's not very long and the are not a lot of enemies to fight/see animations from, but it didn't bother me that much. Definitely would play more games like this from that creator!

What a fun little sexy game! Personally I quite liked the (very) stylized art style and the animations were really great. It was just the right length for the content. I would have been getting tired of the same animations and the gameplay were it much longer, but I ended up enjoying it to the end. I played on normal difficulty.

The primary challenges were twofold. First, whenever you are exploring you are building up vampyrism which you need to keep as low as possible. So that makes one feel hurried even though there is a means to reduce it. Second, it's really best if you are good at old school FP RPGs because you will wander aimlessly much less if you can maintain a good mental map. Even if you find a minimap, it's so small as to be pretty useless. And I never found the map for the 2nd level.

I hit two bugs. My first game it started me at 100/100 vampyrism and it wouldn't go up or down no matter what I did. You can imagine how hard the first fight was (3 hits from the first enemy would be a loss) with me not realizing this was not normal. I finally figured out that something was wrong when I performed my first purification and nothing happened after the animation. I started over and all was well except for two other minor bugs. One, I opened a note with an X to close at the bottom and lost the mouse pointer. I had to Alt-F4 and reload my last save. Also a few late game messages repeat more than they should including the 3rd purification discussion would pop up every time I opened notes. But it was so close to the end of the game at that point that it was not an issue.

So just be sure that when you start a new game it shows 0/100 for your vampyrism at the top of the screen. And save often in different slots.

Overall, nice levels of fun, humor and eroticism. Good job.

Very unic game! Lust Vampyres is a First-Person RPG where you explore a dungeon filled with hot female vampires and have sex-fights, the one who submits to pleasure first loses. Original concept. Good art and animations, lots of scenes. The only con is, the game is too short.

Great game only about 2 hours long.

The game starts off much harder than the end game. I almost quick after the 1st battle but more abilities and levels make it much more manageable as you progress. Keep going and the game keep rewarding you.

Dialog/Story was great and animation is what you expect from Knot games.

Only flaw is you have to play with 2 hands.
