Unity - Completed - Rosé and the Demon Beast [v1.0] [Game-300]

paid for it and had a good sesh
TLDR - animation S tier - Gameplay F tier - whichever is more important to you will dictate your enjoyment

Pros
5 stars on the art and animation (if you like pixel art it is absolutely up there)- worth playing for that, for me
rare we get full on pregnancy systems in these games too which hits one of my many niches - will also give birth after a bit of time for any who enjoy that

Cons
1 star gameplay
its serviceable but gets old REAL fast as every enemy attacks the same (except bosses) - someone said the kick attack is bad below, it is, as it's just boring to use but just go up to an enemy, they will jump at you within the same distance as all other enemies, back off while they are jumping, when they land they will sit there for a few seconds which gives you time to get 3 kicks in easy, which will down all the small and standard enemies, literally rinse and repeated the whole game, only felt the need to use arrows on bosses (couldn't be bothered to learn their attack patterns)(especially final boss) or to save time to get to the next good enemy animation

this game would have been so much better with a butt load more enemies, some variation in the attack patterns, and shorter levels - plus a run button

side note you can find health and arrow drops (had 40 arrows ready to go at one point) dotted around the map levels but a lack of run ability meant I certainly didn't look for them on purpose

Low Quality boring slop, the artstyle is genuienly the only thing carrying it.

I can't really say much more because there isn't much more, this feels and plays like a flash game but even thats an insult to plenty of flash games out there.

Omake isnt open from the get go either so it's a save or a big skip, low download size was honestly the only upside I can give it.


TLDR: There was nearly no effort put into this, this HAS to have been made in an afternoon. Avoid.

Horrible side-scroller 1/10

I cannot in good conscious recommend this game. The sad part is it actually has great h-animations but the gameplay is absolutely horrid and side-scrollers are one of my favourite h-game genres

Firstly the h-content is high quality, you have multiple stage animations and even a pregnancy/birth mechanic. Enemies also don't just immediately clip you, they have a clear attack/grapple animation that you can try to dodge or shoot them before it triggers so that part is all great

But the issue is the combat is just so bad. You can't shoot while moving and enemies can still damage you while you are in the immune stage after being grabbed. You can't avoid enemies and yet your arrows are limited to 20 arrows and arrow drops are rare. Meaning before you finish a stage you will easily run out of arrows

That type of mechanic only makes sense if there is a way to bypass enemies without fighting but there isn't even if you jump over them they still hit you for damage or h-grab so there is no way to avoid combat and yet you don't have enough arrows to finish a level even if on easy mode where enemies die in one hit

This is one of those games where you can tell the dev simply hasn't even tried their own game or at least not without cheatmode on themselves with infinite arrows and I don't get why arrows are not just infinite it adds nothing to the gameplay considering you have no way to avoid an enemy besides just outright killing them with arrows so it is a very weird mechanic

You do also have a weird kick animation you can do but that is next to useless as even if you kill an enemy with a kick it can still hit you for damage after it is dead and vanished. Very poor design

This feels very rushed, completely untested and such a shame too as again the h-animations are actually nice and there is even a pregnancy mechanic. What a wasted opportunity

Gameplay Time: 1 hour - 2 hour (Depend the difficulty)

The drawing is nice, the gameplay is not bad either, but the bugs...
the bugs are just terrible.
The most unpleasant of them are that the Rose gets stuck in the air, the Gallery on some mobs does not work, and after restarting, all progress is completely erased!
The game is 3 out of 5. Just for once.

H-animation looks decent and the being able to get pregnant by almost every enemy with the baby actually being from the enemy is kinda cool i guess? but that everything i can compliment about this game, gameplay is beyond awful and extremely buggy, i got stuck on nothing like 6 times in less than 15 minutes of gameplay, since everything looks the same and the areas loops on itself it's hard to tell if you are actually progressing, enemies are spammed like crazy that spider boss is hilariously bad and long...

I feel like the only good sidescroller game that came out in the past years is the new one from the creator of Alps and the dangerous forest wich was actually amazing, H-Sidesrollers seems to be getting rare...(unslees i am forgetting some other recent ones)
