Unity - Ntraholic [v3.3.3u] [Tiramisu]

This game has so much potential, and should be a very worth succesor to NTRLegend, yet...in the end it utterly fumbles and makes me feel something I never feel with any H games. Pissed off.

At worst I get bored and move on, but this game has so many great elements that it sucks me in, then it proceeds to fuck up pacing with tedious and unneccesary mini-games, oblique "hints" that tell you nothing, and an incessant pop up any time you deviate from whatever bullshit task it somehow wants you to complete.

I loved NTRLegend. It had its flaws, but it was tight, fun, lighthearted, and it knew when to just let you play. Not this game.

Fixing this is very easy:
1) Remove rock, paper, scissors as a way to determine if you win at seducing the wife. Its stupid and stacked in her favor. Make a sexual mini-game if you must have one.
2) The slider during sex events has a much too narrow threshold. If your gonna rip off/pay homage to Goldenboy, incorperate the things he did right the WAY HE DID THEM RIGHT. Why is my meter stopping 3-4 times a session? Why do I have to hunt for the much too small area to make it go up again? Why was I unable to intentionally get caught on the balcony when I tried to do so for TWO HOURS?
3) You should modify the mini-games for making money, and for the prostitute. Both mini-games make no sense in the context of the game. And once I reach a certain point in the game, earning money should have an automated feature (i.e. NTRLegend again). And I don't want to play asteroids while railing a hooker, are you serious? Get out of here with that shit. Make it a game of "find the G spot" or something if you must subject us to such distractions.
4) Tweek your instructions to actually explain how the game mechanics work. You already have a help feature, I shouldn't have to still puzzle out how to interact or determine what buttons do what.

Overall I really enjoy this game, which is why I am being this harsh. If you were to tweek or remove the problems (and I am hardly the first to let you know what those are) then we can enjoy playing without resulting to cheating.

this sh** is good made me happy. Dont care if its NTR as long it gives me a something to wank i dont have problem with anything. As long it isnt extreme scat or whatever.

Still this game is good besides having a few bugs there and here. Sometimes I'm having a hard time progressing into the story.

I must admit I found this game (2.2.2a version) very confusing. Objectives aren't clear, minigames aren't well explained and repetitive, the story is terribly written and told to the point there is no corruption, you do some minigames and end up fucking the wife.

Art is mediocre in many places, sound is so too. And I have been kicked once to the desktop while playing.

So, as far as I go, I don't think it's worth it.

Ntraholic [v2.2.2a] review

Holy grindfest Batman!

This is one of the top 3 grindiest grinds I've ever come across.

It even feels pointless to review story/art becase I still wouldn't play it even if it was 10/10 because of the massive grind required.

The side scroller wasn't fun or relevant, but the dev seems to think I love it to death seeing as how much I'm forced to play it. Pass.

The lewds are half decent but any magic they once held is also repeated to death.

Dev should lower the grind factor by at least 16x before I'll ever consider trying this again. The art assets can mabye hold up a 1-hour game but this game takes far, faaar longer to complete.

It's just not worth anyone's time in the state it's in right now.

(for version v2.2.1a)
5 stars because the art / gameplay is good. It has both pixelart and 2dcg.
The story is also fitting and interesting.
The biggest downside is probably the pacing of the game but that could still change, even then it's only disappointing and not a deal breaker.

The game has flaws but the creator's interaction with fans and willingness to improve with their feedback makes me give it 5/5.

v2.2.2a
i love this game, my soul feels whole again, being the one winning and fucking girls is refreshing, too many games with "losing mechanics for the female mc" and "the mc is a cuck"
the cheating is really easy, to hell with the grinding

one negative point, below the tattoo there is three statistics, but i dont know the max for each one or what X amount of a specific action increases it, and the camera button is not explained either

This game is weird one, compared to ntr legend i has positive points but also has some drawbacks. The art of the pictures and cute scenes are absolutely mind-blowingly good, but the pixelated sex scenes are worse than the mentioned game and get stale fast.
This game has the same problem of doing some boring minigames to get through the day, but in this one takes more time is more boring and this is a grindier game, both for money and exp, and that is the final aspect that for me kills it, excessive unneeded grinding which kills the pacing and the mood of the game.

Started game, see a suck'o'bus, extited game. It`s not NTR.
If seriously, bad attemt to expansion already existing game. many game elements, like minigames, not funny. You get bored too fast. And story and art not good enough to suffer all of this.

The artwork is phenomenal, we can start right there. Animations, images, hell even the pixel art has sensuality to it. The game is good, it's very very good. There is some qualms about confusion and minigames. A task book would not be out of place, however I can also understand a desire to go without.

The story is a standard fair, but with an addition of some enjoyable characterization and twists. You see the interactions between your neighbors, and even inner thoughts that provide more depth to the actions your character is taking. Voiced, animated, all the above. This game is a high quality work. Consistent updating so far gives us lots of hope for the future.

It's a good game! Give it a go!

The previous review on here was kinda concerning but I said fuck it, I need to know for myself... Does the game tell you everything you need to do?.. No, no it doesn't. But can you figure it out? Yes lol. And to be fair the game does tell you a LOT of what you need to do... I would not call this game confusing or difficult. I did have to look up a tip on the H scene (did not notice the glowing slider), but even that is a pretty standard H-game mechanic that I should have been looking for.

That said, the game definitely is a grindy one. Cheat engine works very well so my experience was not that bad, but if I did not have cheat engine I'm not sure I would have enjoyed this at all. And, likely because of my use of cheat engine, I think I accidently skipped over some story bits, and so I ended up using a save...

I do think the art, content, and animations are great, but the gameplay experience built around them is not so hot. I understand the need for SOME grind, but it seems a bit excessive here (at least to me).

This game could be the most amazing thing existence that would make me bust a nut so huge I would drown in it and it would not be worth it. Why? Because how to get there isn't explained in the slightest. You can find my post asking about it in this thread so I won't fully express how I felt here, needless to say after 4 tries of getting nowhere with the first groping scene my excitement was gone and I only have the urge to steal candy from children and force feed people pilk (pepsi and milk) to cause as much misery as I have felt. Even if I manage to make it past this I will not update my score because I shouldn't be stuck on the first scene in the first place.
An edit: I said HOW to do anything is not explained, WHAT you have to do is very clear. If you can't understand the difference then take English classes again.

Writing: 7/10
Imagery: 9/10
Gameplay: 7/10
Kinks: 8/10
Overall: 8/10

Excuse me neighbor, can I borrow a cup of sugar and your wife's pussy?

Straight away, right off the bat, with no delay, this game is, as it says right in its title, inspired by NTRLegend. So you should know what to generally expect.

Surfer dude like guy in this scenario takes over as landlord, and in a scheme to fuck his neighbor's hot wife, raises their rent but accepts the wife working at his home as a maid. It is here he can use demonic apps on his phone to feel her up, eventually resulting in her becoming more open in later visits to having a drink, or just straight up fucking.

The husband is none the wiser as you smash hie wife on the balcony right next to him, stuffing enough cream filling in her that you might as well call her a hostess cupcake. During the day you can drill her in multiple positions, and after raising her level of infidelity, you can eventually call her over at night to have a fun time on the balcony. The demonic app unlocking new features as her infidelity level increases, though as of the time of this review only 3 options open up. The invisible hand, the cosplay, and the bell.

What is added that makes this more unique from NTRLegend is the CGs, where you can take pictures after certain sexual actions that get stored in a gallery in your phone. However the only indication this is an available action is if the camera icon on the sex controls lights up, however grey on grey is not the best for noticing this happen so you might miss this option at times.

Looking forward to seeing more, as there are plenty of demonic features left to go and places to visit.

Yeah, this was dissapointing. The charm of having the game full drawn in pixel art as it was in NTRdensetsu is gone. Not only some sex scene "events" are drawn and animated as non pixel art 2D.
The husband's standing picture doesnt show your typical "japanese salary man" but a Stud... lmao really ? he may be just as muscly as Gyaru-o. Also one of the sex position's icon seemed to be a mating press but the actual pixel art animation shows a mediocre missionary position. I say mediocre because its not even at the level of NTRdensetsu's animations.
I liked the rimjob. Unexpected and wish NTRdensetsu had such a thing.

amother game like NTR legend
smells great
pixel animation and X-ray dedicate the detail of corruption, and the animation story line is a plus.
just one mini gmae for now, hoping more to come.
with photo to collect in sex scenes, do trying to get all collection. for now, there are only three shots made, and a thoughts button not available really made me curious.

The idea is good, but too much action is shown as pixel art animations. Its not for my taste. If only there was way more 2D animations that are good looking like some milestones for corruption. Then it would be way more enjoyable ride. Besides that its too much of a grind for my taste. Too little "rewards" for this amount of "work". There should be a way to choose level of grind required to advance. Because original is too much for my taste. If only we saw gradual improvements over time with each repetition we did then it wouldn't be such a chore to repeat same things again and again.
Either way.. Conclusion:
- has potential
- too little quality 2D art
- too much pixel art animations which do not look that great to begin with.
- too much meaningless grind. If only it rewarded repetition in any way but it didn't
It has a potential to be a mobile game but not so much for a pc.

The art is good, but the game is.. I dont know.. Lacking? Its hard to explain, because whats there works just fine. But, it just doesnt grab your attention beyond what regular porn would do.

I think it has to do with the fact that, once you've seen something once, theres nothing new, theres no "Oh, you increasedher nympho stat by having her cum 20 times in a row" or any alternate looks once you reach a certain threshold. Its a bit "one and done", no nuance or reason to do any action more than once.

Honestly, I ended up just cheating my way through the game and closed it again afterwards.

TL;DR
Art is good, gameplay is.. Fine, just tedius and not really that rewarding.

Addendum;
I am not sure if this bothers anyone other than me. But, the dev charges around 29 dollars on Patreon to try his newest releases... Including this one which is mostly a bug fix update.. That just rubs me the wrong way..

Inspired from NTRLegend. This game is very good. But it has some shortcomings too.

Pros:
- Animations
- CGs
- Voice acting

Cons:
- Lacks proper build up
- Very buggy ( I'm sure dev will fix this)
- Minigame ( Rock, Paper and Scissors) seems to be set to veteren difficultly by default.

Even with all that, I liked the game very much and want to see more of it. This type of game is a rare specimen along with NTR legend. That's why a 5 star.

I liked the previous game but I cannot get into this one.

Cons:

- Useless "minigames" (reading) VS absent minigame (working)
- Lack of buildup, the target is too easy
- Miss the mark on corruption steps (from nothing to all in, so frustrating to feel the little buildup you could man age to this point suddenly die on an exaggerated scene)
- DEV uses an angel as target but destroys that early on.

Another misfired corruption / NTR game, sadly ...

DEVs should really consider the psychology of men when making games.

Despite good art and a nice concept, I am giving this a poor review as of now as an outcry to the dev to improve on some things.

First: it's tedious. Best comparison I can give is that for the cooking event (the most basic corruption event you start with), the song heard in the bar in Karryn's Prison will play to completion by the time you've completed the event for one singular day. It's one of those annoying "fill the bar" minigames where the goal to winning is to toggle the fill rate off and on, ensuring that arousal raises more than her alertness, where alertness both raises and lowers faster. They could stand to cut down the time on these minigames just a tad.

The second: Rock-Paper-Scissors. This might not sound awful, but this is an important time for us to talk about math.

You have 3 hearts, she has 5. You must beat her 5 times to complete the scene, she must beat you thrice for you to fail. You can afford to make two mistakes only. There is a double down mechanic, which I would encourage people to do due to the mathematics of it. (reduces it from you have 3 hearts and she has 5 to you have 2 and she has 3, in terms of how many losses necessary to lose it all; you can potentially gain even more chances if you win your first two hands and then do the standard value so that you can have even more chances, as it becomes 3v1 in your favor)

When we are talking about a completely RNG game with no tells or mechanics to reliably beat it, then yes, 5 is more than 3 and is statistically more likely to win. Even with the double down tip I provided above, 3 is still more than 2 and again she will win.

What's more, I sincerely wonder if she is programmed to beat you if she's about to lose in order to force you to buy an item to replenish your hearts. I won the first two double-down games and this meant I only had to beat her one more time. Suddenly she was unbeatable and won four times in a row. (used one replenish item) I cannot confirm this, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me if she was programmed to check your soup usage/current corruption value and just beat you if it's not high enough.

So some of you might be thinking save scum. Yeah, but there's a couple problems here:

-The Rock-paper-scissors event itself is expensive. You need to spend two days of full work to afford it, and that's not including the soup items you will likely need. Each of those adds an additional day. You earn about ~220$ per workshift and with your stamina you can regularly afford two shifts a day. The item required to unlock the Rock-Paper-Scissors event costs $800 per attempt. The soup item to replenish one singular health point for you during the minigame cost $300 each. This means that if you wish to play the minigame and ensure you have equal odds of beating her, you need at least two soups for $600 + the $800 for the event, adding up to 4 days of work whilst you have a timer of 30 days. This then only affords you equal odds; you still have a statistically equal chance of losing to her, at which point if you do not save scum, you must again work 4 days just to afford another equal attempt.

-The event does not unfold quickly. There's a text event for example for doing the event and you have to listen to her read the text each time. There's then a mild "fill the bar" event beforehand. This means that even when reloading to retry, it's not going as quickly as you'd like.

-In my experience, reloading has a bad habit of glitching. I could not click any of the icons during the RPS game upon reloading, so I had to close out and reopen the game very frequently. You can now add watching the menu load to your queue of things you need to do before another attempt.

All and all:

This means a game with good potential and good art is being sunk by needlessly tedious and boring minigames, glitches, and one absolutely MIND-BOGGLING decision by a dev that clearly doesn't understand mathematical statistics to force us into a highly expensive game event where she is statistically more likely to win in order to progress. Imagine fapping and then you find yourself caught up in 20 mins of attempts to win Rock-Paper-Scissors. That's this game.

The big danger with playing this game is that by the time you actually beat this stupid event, you might not care enough to continue.

I would advise not playing until the changelog has a big 'ole highlighted patch note saying "nuked the Rock-Paper-Scissors minigame into the stratosphere," because until then, the game is more infuriating than enjoyable.

A game based on NTR Legend, which is already a fairly mediocre game, this game does not pull off any of what is enjoyable about that game. Mechanics are poorly explained and frustrating and generally not fun. Don't know about the sex stuff because I got too annoyed to keep playing and see any of it.
