Others - MetaMorph [v0.1.3.5] [Balledra games]

Insanely good, I was expecting this too be a lot worse when I saw it was a early first release like this. The only bugs I saw were it ignoring your skin tone and hair choice at the begining in every cut scene (easy fix) some text over laying and general clutter. The character also gets stuck on a lot of objects, however it's not that big a deal.
Stores got a lot of potentional, game shows some very good bones for what will come.
graphics are nice, clean, and a little better in game then the previews here suggest.
Honestly as is this is a very fun 30 minute to an hour game, maybe more. I can see the later releases being a lot longer and more filling, but that's not what I'm reviewing.

This is in general what I'd want to see from someone that releases a new game here in general. A functional game with some thing to it. Even if it is bare bones.

H content is decent but the 'survivor' gameplay is horrible. Played it on normal difficulty and it was impossibly difficult to kill anything before 5 more things had spawned (and that is with the game saying it had a slower difficulty ramp for this demo) so no faith they have any chance of balancing a game to be challenging in a fun way considering there was an even higher difficulty available and there is no meta-progression (atleast currently). Rocks in the combat zones have infinite friction which is what killed my run, always great when the environment feels like a bigger threat to look out for than the enemies. The combat itself is boring, just run around hoping the game doesn't spawn things right infront of you leading to unavoidable damage while you tickle things with your attacks. Nothing you got felt impactful, gun was seriously under-powered and the in run power-ups were boring and equally under-powered. There was also pretty much zero variation in the path you took, there were around 5 paths and they were all 99% identical across the board with the only differences being some ? events instead of combats. I don't think there were any meaningful choices I got to make the entire time I was playing.

Text is full of spelling and grammar errors. Doors on the ship were stupid, running into them waiting for them to open would drag you with them and half-glitch you into the wall and doors are allowed to close on you trapping you inside them until you open them again. For some reason after every mission you are placed in the middle section of the ship in an empty room. Everything there is to do is located in the bottom room of the ship, why couldn't they just respawn you there instead of forcing you to interact with their shitty doors after every level. Had character customization at the start but had no impact on the character sprite you actually look at moving around, only the transparant version of yourself on the side of the screen.

I know it said it was a demo, but this had no polish at all just making it a pain to play. It would be more accurate to call this a MVP (Minimal viable product) which is not what it was advertised as. MVP's are great for getting early feedback to help shape a game into what your audience wants during its most early stages, but that almost never amounts to an enjoyable experience for the player. The only reason this got +1 star is because it had h content integrated into the gameplay which is a lot more than most other games accomplish. This could potentially turn into something good but right now there is no reason to play it unless you want to help shape what the game will become. Game needs atleast 6 months of updates before I would even consider trying it again, at which point it might actually be considered a demo and give an enjoyable experience.

Really fun and interesting game so far, with a super cool focus on "xenos" basically just the alien from the alien franchise movies/game but that's awesome imo and super ironic as I just recently played the alien game and intend to watch the movies!

Anyways game mechanics: pretty easy shooter doesn't feel clunky and is straight forward which i like

Art is AMAZING, all pixel art that looks really well done if ur into pixel art especially. I love how the fetishes come together especially I think the overall concept is great and the vision is there!

My only critique so far is the scenes could be added to somewhat, for example, and btw I haven't finished the game so far just wanted to drop a review causee I'm really enjoying, but the first h scene is a blowjob, it's animated really nicely and its super hot, dialogue is solid enough, but we don't see the alien, or any other angles, etc, and while that's not an issue, it would be nice to have things like that in certain scenes such as changing thee camera angle to see thee whole scene rather than just a pov, however, thats just a kind of subjective thing and it is still really cool as is and even depends on the specific h scene which is why it's not worth dropping a star or something.

Def worth a download if you're into the tags, especially the alien franchise, otherwise a good game but the fetishes may not be for u.

Can't wait to follow it's development and see its completion!
