Unity - Portals of Phereon [v0.30.0.0] [Syvaron]

I have been playing the game for a long time and in my opinion it has an excellent quality and a promising future.
Pros:
-The world feels unique
-A lot of content
-Good gameplay
-Beautiful art
-One of the best combat system i see for a h-game
-Interesting characters
Cons:
-The missions of the king are sometimes annoying
-Messy interface
IMPORTANT: Just update the images. These are old and obviously worst than what the game actually is. I really want that this project still alive and improving with the time and i think that he is loosing potencial patrons for this.
First edit: Nowadays, damn, this is definetly the best 2D game in all the page. And the visuals rework... 10/10. And thanks for nerfing the king.
-----------EDIT 2: 4 YEAR'S AFTER------------
I usually make reviews as unbiased and concise as possible. This is because I don't want to waste anyone's time with irrelevant details. This here is not a review like the others, it is a letter of love and respect, because this game deserves it.

I am limited to expressing myself in words to describe the game, and even more so, using Google translate. Don't worry, I'll look at it to make sure it's as readable as possible .

What to love about this game?

As a user I am a very simple person, I enter the site from time to time looking for something good in the pregnancy tag, not like most of "bad ending pregnancy", but as a real mechanic, or even more, a user which is still waiting for the “impregnation” tag to be added. Something that hasn't happened yet, you'll know why.

The game is unique like Teraurge but with updates, complex like Eratoho K but visually appealing, mechanically demanding like MaiDenSnow Eve but undestandable, interesting world like LonaRPG but not morally questionable, and with world mechanics like CloudMeadow but without being a scam (sorry but after so many years earning 20K they haven't done anything really outstanding).

Like most of the games mentioned (and other highlights such as Roundscape Adorevia, Lilith's Throne, Free Cities, Flying Princess -Inter Breed, etc) a mechanic of "impregnation/pregnancy" is handled, being the one that best manages to adapt it to its gameplay. Not only is it relevant here, but it's the difference between dying miserably with your team of lvl 5 centaurs, versus destroying entire hordes with a henkidama throwing demigod.

About the developer: Syvaron

It is incredible how with perseverance and dedication he carried out this project with only 1K per month. The guy deserves a lot more recognition for this game. The only time it was relevant was when YouTuber SsethTzeentach put a few frames into his Pharaon video. He knows how to find gold among titles that require a high level of autism, and this is no exception.

Btw, the game is free for all, last version created, last version for public. No making you wait 1-2 months just for the game to be pirated.

Gameplay:

In theory, the game is easy, due to its adaptive difficulty level. But honestly, nobody will play with less than 100% on the difficulty score, because otherwise the progress will not be saved permanently. This naturally makes newbies jump in and without any guidance they are easily torn apart by the mechanics.

Luckily the game has been more and more balanced and unless you set very high parameters the experience is enjoyable.

My recommendation, without going into depth, if it is your first time when starting DO NOT select creation and as elemental affinity DO NOT select water. The other options have a stronger start. Put on 500 base gold and unselect Breeding on kingquests, with this you should have the minimum necessary to unlock everything (100%).

Also, get used to using quicksave a lot, the game makes use of RNG by seeds so you can slightly foresee the future in some aspects, you can experiment with trial and error. If you can abuse the system do so, otherwise you are very likely to get crushed.

There's a lot more, but chances are you'll still be discovering things on your third playthrough, so it's best left to experience.

Art:

It's beautiful, in my opinion. It is a unique style that goes very well with the theme of the game, it is not Japanese plastic, nor cartoon, nor realistic, it is something special and that is in continuous development. I love how the designs are creative and not walking stereotypes.

THAT'S WHY IT BOTHERS ME THAT THEY DON'T CHANGE THE PHOTOS REFERRED TO THE GAME BECAUSE THE CURRENT PHOTOS ARE OLD (08/03/22).

History:

Basically, the game has three possible routes for its three playable protagonists, each with their point of view on the matter.

In this magical world, there was a conflict with the gods and after X time the final battle will take place.

There's more, but I'm not even tempting with spoilers, the steps are given by the game itself, unlocking its own content, you don't even need the wiki.

Conclution:

In its current state, this strategy game went from an S-Tier to a God-Tier, it's amazing what has been done, this is the work of real love for a work. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I have all this time. Its replay value and extensive and procedural content ensure hours and hours of fun.

It doesn't matter if i am one of the first reviews so nobody will see it, this game deserve it, give it a try.

Based on 0.7.4.0. By a long stride, the best thing going for PoP is its artist, who is also its creator and programmer I understand. If you like women with penises--and even if you don't--the hybrid characters are creative and well-designed. There are a lot of tits and dongs flying around--including during the hex-tile combat mode, but very, very little actual sexual interaction at present. Sex scenes are mostly limited to sequences of drawings during a small number of events and a text-based freeform sex training mode. Beyond that, the other game systems are all almost too detailed. The genetics system, for instance, is critical for breeding, which is itself important for getting the type of characters you want and also for some types of quests. But the actual system is confusing and not well explained, with the actual breeding windows a confusing wall: traits you can emphasize (or not), items and types of interactions you can select, and genetics numbers that are totally divorced from a character's actual numbers (a high MP character might have a trashy MP genetics score, for instance). The combat is turn-based tactical on a hex grid and is not balanced to be forgiving. The UI is cumbersome overall. For instance, almost all feedback the game gives you comes in the form of a little chat window. But the window is in different places in each major mode (combat, exploration, management). There are many mechanics that you don't run into often, and many are not obvious and not well explained. This includes some that are very consequential. For instance, you can trade away or "submit to the Library" a unique character, who is then gone for good--and in the library's case it's not even obvious that you are actually giving away a character. This is a game that (in its present form) will let you screw yourself over. But trying to breed or buy or capture all the species hybrids--there are seven species and each hybridizes with each of the other seven--is a fun little side-game in itself. If you are patient, willing to read the documentation (and experiment to figure out what it doesn't explain), don't mind managing lots of numbers and gotchas, and aren't adverse to sometimes-frustrating challenges (or outright cheating, which is not difficult in this game), the game is in fairly playable form.

Very early right now but I was late for work because I was having to much fun. the hybrid monster are all really cool and unique. Its a bit like breeding season but all female and futa, i'm not a big fan of man in games so i really like this one. defiantly one to keep an eye on for now.

The art is amazing and the concept, while already been explored by others, is expanded with what has the potential to become a very interesting setting and a combat system that, if refined, will bring this game to a higher level.

Lot of potential here, keep an eye on this one.

Good monster girl farm simulator with exploration element, Cross breeding, Farming and Quest elements. Also did not expect to make Cross breeds that have interesting combinations.

Over all good solid game already amazing for early build
