Unity - Red Lotus Ninja Scroll [v0.1.0 Alpha] [Sekiren2023]

There is much potential and this is early version, so many things can change.

Overall seems like this could be really good, game figured out already most of mechanics. Graphics is really good and i love pixel-art, but also its rather hard to see anything without zoom-in, also scenes are very fast paced.

As for the gameplay i didnt like it, im rather pecky with platformers, cus its very easy to mess them up. Here for example character is bouncing off of overything like ping pong ball, sometimes its just hard to navigate and land where you want to. Combat seems not interesting, just basic hits or knife throw. So really only good thing are short hentai animations after defeating opponents. Maybe it will change but for now im rating this as 3.

The art and animations are a 10 out of 10 in my opinion. Incredible visuals that are made so much better by the little things the dev has added, like being able to set a trap for the enemies by sticking your behind out for them in certain spots and even having specific animated scenes for those moments. The main character's clothes are barely even clothes, which I love because you get so much casual nudity with the main character's movements. You also get to fuck downed enemies and steal their "essence" to fill up your bar to use your abilities (what the game calls "jutsus".) The only reason I haven't given this five stars is because there's next to no content yet besides the first four levels. If this continues to be developed and improved into the future, and the quality of the work remains the same, I think this will end up being my favourite adult game of all time. Even with how little content there is right now, this game outclasses nearly every other game on this site by a wide margin.

There is so much potential here. The gameplay itself is a little rough and can definitely be improved, but trust me, the top notch animations more than make up for that. I cannot express how much I already love this game despite how little there is to do at the moment. 5 stars in my heart, but 4 stars for now because I can't rate it 4.5. (And realistically, I understand that playing the game is the most important part of a game, and unfortunately the gameplay just isn't there yet.)

The good:

- Nice regular pixel art
- REALLY nice detailed pixel art (for some CG's and scenes)
- No censorship
- Ok music
- No major bugs
- Sexy character
- Ok scenes, could be more interesting

The bad:

- Absolutely horrid control scheme
- Janky combat, the 3rd combo hit takes too long and makes you too vulnerable, despite being un-cancellable
- Too many un-cancellable moves that also take too long and make the character move a long distance
- Bad movement
- Short
- Horrible skill system that reminds you of Helldivers2 with AIDS, and you need to be stationary in order to execute the skills
- You need to use both hands at all times
- Many things are still in japanese, translation is spotty with visual glitches obscuring text at times (unity bug?)
- Boss combat requires knowledge that the game doesn't even hint at you, and it is too sharply different from everything else the player deals with during gameplay
- No gallery

Some Thoughts:

All in all it's a great game with the major exception being the combat. Boss fight isn't actually hard, it just requires the player to do something the game doesn't tell him. Which is, of course, a major flaw, but an expected one giving just how schizophrenic the control scheme, the skill system, and combat are.

Just as a little example of the insanity that are the control scheme and skill system, the "confirm" key is "J". Sometimes the back/return key is... you guessed it, "K". Before doing any skill, you need to press "I" in order to be able to input the buttons, which, despite appearing as the arrow keys, are actually WASD again, and in order to "execute" the skill you need to press K. The cherry on top is that the skills are barely even useful at all, especially due to how vulnerable they leave you and how little damage the offensive skill deals (same for the throwable daggers). I don't think I've ever seen something like this and it always baffles me how some developers will find the most nonsensical ways of creating controls instead of just using what's tried and tested.

Also, the menu key is... ESC... no, just kidding, it's Q for some reason. ESC will exit the fullscreen.

Boss Tutorial:

For the sake of writing a complete review that will inform the reader of everything he needs to know, here's how to defeat the boss (I've also made it a regular comment on the thread): Hit the boss with only the first 2 of the combo hits, then press L to dash. Keep doing this while avoiding hits until he starts picking up the barrels. Once he starts doing this, you need to wait for him to spin the barrels. You'll know it's the right time when a flashing red/blue icon appears above him. Once he's in this state, approach him, and, while on the ground, press E to perform a special attack. Do this some 4 or so times and you'll only need to hit him a few more times until he gets the flashing red circle above him, at which point you can just press E while in the air to finish him.

definitely one to look out for, quality is already top notch as of now. will definitely buy this when it comes out.

art and animation is one of the best out there. Wishing the dev a speedy development!

Gameplay: 3/5
Art/Atmosphere: 4/5
H-Scenes: 5/5

This game has a lot of effort put into it, you can see that from the very beginning. A Stealth based metroidvania with stunning animation quality.

The gameplay feels a bit weird right now, a lot of the abilities fling you into directions you don't want to go, but you can learn to control and get used to it, so it's fine, really.

The smut is primarily femdom, as you, as a female ninja, take down guards and then proceed to ride them in various positions, so variety-wise it doesn't have the most to offer.

This is 100% a game to look forward to.

Peak gameplay. Not much content right now but that can change in the future. The controls are quite janky but it's alright, the combat mechanics is okay, and of course the H-scene are good. Definitely a good game if your into side-scrollers.

+Love the art
+Great stealth mechanics
+/-I enjoy casting Ninjustu but it does not work mid-combat
-Very Vanilla needs more varied h-genres
-Cant replay opening whenever I want
-Last boss is inconsistent with other mini bosses. Has a yellow health bar that does not move when it but other mini bosses they do
-No health upgrades
-Umbrella lady only shows up twice
-Add difficulty modes, i play this game to goon not to be frustrated by bosses

2/10 needs more time in the oven

The game has nice animations and good art style (who doesn't love a well done pixel art game) but I cant really jork it playing this since the controls kinda require 2 hands. After checking twitter of the dev it looks like it took years for the game to get here so if you're hoping for more content other than the only 4 short missions available you may be waiting for years.

Terrible animation in terms of combat. You barely have any control at all and the first boss is a pain in the ass to deal with and not worth the headache. More often than not your attacks do minimal damage and forget even using any of the jutsus to heal yourself because you don't even get the time or chance to use any of them because the enemy can 2-shot you.

Yeah i see the potential in this one.
First of all the sex scenes are integrated into the gameplay which is a major plus in my book. you can do "stealth takedowns" by hiding or posing in certain areas, luring the enemy in and taking them out. Plus taking down enemies plays a short but satisfying, sexy little animation
Second of all, it reminded me of "Mark of the Ninja" some 2d stealth cult game, the animations are actually just top tier and you can easily see the potential even from the demo and the 4 levels it has currently. The game just needs more of what it already has and a slight bit smoothing out to achieve perfection.
Actually love it and can't wait for more

HOLY FUCKKK this could be one of the best h-games ever made....but just not right now.

i've seen this game a lot throughout this site but waited for the translation to play it (which btw, there's not a lot to it and its kinda buggy) AND i hate to recommend or even review anything this early in its developing stage but its just TOO GOOD; they can fuck up the game however they want and its still gonna be a 5/5 because of course, the animations. They are fluid as fuck, top tier pixel art, solid controls tho sometimes kinda wonky but the best of all... the H mechanic is actually involved in the gameplay and it does not requiere a game over like 95% of other action platformer games.

but yeah, not a lot of content right now, i'll probably be checking every single update because this game is one of those bangers we were waiting for.

What more can you say. The art and animations are incredible, level design is very good, combat is smooth as hell, game progression is easy to understand even without a translation, traps and executions are very creative. The only negative atm is literally that it is a WIP, this will probably be the best platformer on this website once it's fully out.

Well, with such ridiculous animation quality, this game could be a cryptominer with no gameplay and I'd still give it a 5/5. - I can basically end the review here. Play it. Watch it. Enjoy. This game looks like a gift from the gods.

(the gameplay is pretty cool too)

Been following this game since the demo first released two years ago and it's in my top 5 most anticipated hentai game releases. Glad to see it finally arrive here.

The game show a lot of potential and from what the dev has shown so far I'm quite confident that they'll manage to deliver a great game.

The art is great and the animations are fluid.

The gameplay itself is also quite fun, kinda reminding me of a 2d Aragami (I know that there are probably better comparisons).
It's especially great how the sexual content is actively part of the gameplay, neither being just defeat animations nor completely tacked on CGs.

Definitely recommend checking this out, especially when it eventually fully releases.

This is an awsome platformer, great movment great animation and a lovely artstyle, finaly something that is not a basic rpgm of visual novel with "gameplay" honestly I can't wait to see where this game will go!

God tier animations, and fun gameplay with stealth elements, you get the scenes by defeating enemies and you need them to recover your technique resource ("essence") so the gameplay and scenes being interwoven and a reward for actually trying to win is a big plus for this game.

v 0.1.0
It's very good indeed. It's a 2d action game with a female protagonist but not a "lose to porn", in fact you kill with the deadliest ninjitzu called "butt in the face", also you recover SP by having sex with the enemy and that give you the mana to cast spells like an helldivers stratagems.
For now only 4 mission + tutorial, you can return in the city hub but for now is just a place. Action is good but the girl like to move a lot. Everytime you do a stealth kill you jump foward, third attack is a buttattack that bounce on the enemy back.
Sex scenes are good but most pixel arts tend to blur the scene.
Overall, is a good action erotic game. That's all
Ninja vanish!
