Updated Review for v6.0A
*Edit* Moved down a star because of the new use of AI CGs to replace old stuff. That shit sucks.
Roundscape is a weird one for me. It was one of the first lewd games I played on this site, and it completely changed my opinion on RPGM porn games. At the time, it was one of my favorites. But after playing so many other games on the site and coming back to this, it has sort of lost some of its luster for me.
From a purely sex scene point of view, this gets a 5 stars. There's a ton of scenes all with art (though not all the same artists, and some are worse compared to others) and most of them are written well enough. This has a large variety of fetishes as well. Companions (and yourself) fuck other people, monsters, animals, and weird creatures, and it's not really avoidable. It's also one of the few games that has a large amount of content for either gender you choose, though I believe male MCs still have more. You'll probably need to have a more open mind to really enjoy everything.
Now looking at it from a game perspective, I think I would give it 2 stars.
The main plot idea is fine. Death god rising up and you gotta stop him. Not really new, but I don't think it's horrible. The problem lies in the execution of everything. Pretty much every area feels undeveloped, and some key moments in the story feel very... lame I guess. An analogy would be that it feels like I'm playing a summary of everything, rather than it having real depth.
Nothing is really filled out. Some companions have barely any content, while others have triple of them. A lot of characters and companions just become part of the background after their quests are done. Locations feel largely empty and not really alive. Big cities don't have more than a couple random quests. You never even really feel like you're in these giant cities either, and I think that comes down to the way maps were designed. Another gripe is that the world doesn't really react to what's going on. A bunch of citizens were slaughtered and the city almost taken over? We killed the bad guy, everything back to normal and like it never happened.
I suppose after being spoiled by better written games, it feels like this just has a lot of missed potential. The game isn't bad, but could have been a lot better. I'm no developer, but for being one of the biggest earning adult games I would expect better. Simply having a bunch of scenes isn't enough for me, even if I like most of them.
All that being said, few games do quite what this does on the sex side of things, even if that could be a lot more rounded out. If you're coming to play this for a solid story driven lewd RPGM game, don't. But if you primarily are here for the porn, I think you can enjoy it provided you have an open mind about all the different fetishes present.
