This is my Review of Mad Island (V0.0.5 Steam)
Made by the developer (EmadePlus)
There is a possibility that this Review will change when a new update comes later on since this game isn't finished yet.
Spoilers alert
BTW! (
Or maybe not)
The Story-line: 4.4/5
It's a good start where you need to survive at the beginning, you can choose whether you want to play male or female and try to leave the island. You need to follow the storyline, but you are free to do whatever you want on the island before doing an event. The story is simple and easy to understand and you can choose what you want to do in those situations, and they have consequences if you fail
(The kind of consequences that depend on how you look at it) There are only a few short events for both the Male & the Female.
Events will unlock new places for you to explore in the game.
Events have 3 types of colors:
Blue,
Red, and
Green
Events for the
Male character are:
Blue
Events for the
Female character are:
Red
Events that can be done by
Both are:
Green
Doing events like this will give you rewards like building new things for your base, new types of recipes for food, and potions, and new followers who will fight for you if you do the right thing.
What annoys me the most is that if an enemy or a boss wins it will not change the storyline, only that you either die or get a lewd scene only for the female you're playing but that's it. You won't lose your character and she can't be impregnated just thrown to the side and that you have lost your virginity. Or respond like nothing ever happened... I hope they change that later.
An example:
"It would be more realistic if you offer yourself if you lose, in the hope you can escape one day, or if not they will just kill you which means that you have only one character left to play until that person can escape from the island or end up dying.
It would make the game more of a survival game if it had more consequences where you can have another event like breaking out before it's too late if you stay too long by accepting the situation you're in. Or you can choose your other character to save that person if you feel safer doing so but! May end up losing that person too if you are not careful..."
This would have given you more reasons to be careful in the game. It would also make rewards more rewarding. It's a bit boring if the game says "Here try again" without any consequences to the character's choices and decisions.
Animations and Art: 4,8/5
The game looks beautiful, the texture is great, the animations are smooth, you can edit your characters, and I would call it a great
2D game since you can't rotate 360 degrees, just right and left.
Level of difficulty: 4.6/5
You can compare this game to (
Don't Starve Together) gameplay, like how you move, fight, and build things, just a way more attractive appearance. You can choose what you want to do on the island, go freely where you want, and farm to build many types of things. The difficulty is a level system where you can level up to how much you can endure, how strong you can become, and how fast you're going to be. Not only that you also have an additional team skill for how fast you heal up, how far you can build, how slow you starve, and so on.
You have opportunities to hunt on land, go fishing, build farms, have livestock, hey you can even be a cannibal if you wish (
Do whatever you have to do to survive, I guess...)
Now the lewd difficulties here are rare, not often you can choose if you want to do it the loving way or the raping way. None of them is just click-and-done. Your level and skill will make things harder for you which means, the reward feels much more rewarding.
You can take whatever female you want with your male character with rape, but you can't do it with your female character to other males (
I guess... they wouldn't fight back if that happened...) You can either kill the females, rape them or beat them unconscious and take them as prisoners for whatever use you want. And male prisoners, but there is no (No male on male) as far as I have seen.
(
Not complaining either, not my type of thing...)
You can easily end up playing the game for a second time, just to make another type of decision to see what would happen. (
Or go back to an older save) is important to save often before doing events or fighting a boss to get all possible content.
The Sounds & Music parts: 4.7/5
The game has both sounds and music. It only lacks a few sounds here and there like, hearing wind and animal noises. There were enough sounds to enjoy the game, but have been great with a few more.
Overall: 4.6/5 - F95Zone Star 5 "Fantastic"
The game is not a final version "
which means" there may be a later edit. I didn't detect errors or bugs in my gameplay run. The girls, monsters, and the island looked great. I enjoyed this game, so much that I even bought it on
Steam, I hope they add achievements.
P.S: I highly recommend visiting their main website (
emadeplus.com) and downloading their DLC package called (
DLCはこちら) to get more content and new hidden events. The DLC is free, this is the content that was removed from the game so they could sell it on
Steam. For some reason, they had some limits for things on the small size, but not for everything else.
