Version 0.9.8
I really, really, wanted to rate it 2 with the combat mechanics, terrible lack of guidance, and sloppiness, but there are lot of games out there that have less gameplay, features, and effort.
[Story]- It's not very deep, but it's actually entertaining for how little narrative there is. Crazy things happen, but unlike a lot of other stories, the ideas in this game are logically sound(for a magical setting). There is no ending. You have a camp, and you breed, and that's it. I played in English, and it was just machine translation. I was able to understand it, and it didn't really bother me. However, the questing and objectives system really leave you confused about what you're supposed to be doing and whether you missed anything. There's a lack of any pop-ups telling me where someone that I just "got" actually went, etc...
[Gameplay]- The controls are a mess, and there's no guidance on any of it. Most functions are accessible with the mouse, but the CRAZY part is that both the keyboard and controller has Partial controls. All you can do with the controller is pan the camera, so it's completely pointless. The keyboard arrows can only go forward and back, while the wasd keys can pan the camera. Only the MOUSE can rotate the camera and Zoom, but it can't pan it. The keyboard can use the 1-0 hotkeys, but it cannot select any options, only the mouse can.
This game goes back to the old days where you have to actively click around the screen, because the game refuses to show you information. Right at the start, you're dropped into an area where you can seemingly do nothing. It turns out you have to press the button to skip time. Background and foreground objects are commonly something to run into because it's not obvious whether it's interactive or not. Character stats don't show you what skills they have, you have to go to certain menus or into battle to see. Shops are lacking sell all or sorting options, but fortunately, you can Figure out that MOST shops can double-click to sell/buy.
The combat system is actually decent, or it would be if it wasn't so unbalanced. Every enemy Seems to have optimized stats for their level and full tier gear in their respective areas. Their spells will destroy you, but if you capture them and use the same spells on them, it barely hurts. This is mostly because you can earn some stats that are not conductive to combat. I find that when you focus on combat stats, your Main Can do decent damage, but then you will fail, because your party's level is too low. You have to increase your level with all stats in order to raise your level in order to raise your party's level. In other words, you just have to grind fights, a LOT. There's also a lot of traps, because most of the stats and skills are terribly bad, and only a handful are actually useful. For example, the AoE skill, I found out, even when maxed, just does terrible damage, and could not beat the single target spell in a fight against the same levels.
With all the grinding involved, and unfavorable fighting conditions Most of the time. It's simply very hard to enjoy. Fortunately, the game has a built in cheat system. Mid way through the game, I had to wave my hands in the air and just cheated in max stats.
Another terrible issue is the unit distribution. Most of the units are #$%^, and only very specific hybrid characters are useful. That means most of the enemies are just clutter that you have to fight through or run pass. All the capturing and breeding are just to collect bodies for sex scenes, and that's it. Bosses in the latter half of the game don't even involve fighting, because you're just supposed to seduce them for collection.
the tavern is another annoying grind in the game where the income it earns is trivial, and the extra rewards for it take so long to grind for that you'd have completed the game(without cheating) long before you're even half way finished with the tavern.
Finally, the game seems to get worse the further you get. It seems the dev has a habit of losing interest. As some of these maps are just empty places with nothing but enemies on them and they couldn't even care enough to make sure the paths correlate with the background image.
[Scenes]- There's a lot of clipping, invisible barriers, and so forth in the combat maps, but the character models and sex scenes are pretty well done. Some characters even open their mouth, and you can see the tongue inside. The physics are detailed enough, but the textures are not very. The worse looking part is usually the head.
This game has female sex voices, and several nifty music pieces(probably ripped from somewhere).
There are a lot of fetish racial types. Many monsters, some humanoids, and some duo genders. The Main herself actually can switch between female or both. I'm not into that, but I got used to it pretty quickly, so I don't believe it's a big deal. And, no, it didn't convert me.
This is no Honey Select. When we're talking about "scenes", it's usually just in one unchangeable field, in one spot. The characters' position change depending on which partner you select for them, and you can change characters as much as you want. It's not actual sex with foreplay, climax, or anything. It's just one humping animation.
