Unreal Engine - Sin Spire [v0.1] [Krasue Games]

Insanely high quality for a horror porn game, the amount of contents available and it just the 0.1 beta is unbelievable, for being a solo dev they had outdone themselves. Looking forward to the full game!

Sin Spire [v0.1] beta
Could be better..
Pros:
-nice enemies
-nice graphics
-nice atmosphere
-nice animations
-nice h-scenes
-nice story
-nice audio
-nice upgrade/battle system
-fully voiced (pretty much)

cons:
-the gameplay is very grindy and monotone. Collecting 4 orbs to fight one of the 5 room bosses takes forever, even with cheats. It's pretty much just running from exit to exit, which takes like 40 minutes.. 40 minutes of pure running just to fight one enemy is nuts. Playing "normally" would take maybe 5 hours..

-lack of enemies. I mean it has a decent amount of maybe 10 different normal enemies (about 2 new ones for every of the 5 rooms) with 1-2 sex-animations but compared to the time it takes to finish a room this is really not much and gets boring fast

-the money/upgrade/shop system is very unbalanced. After like 4 hours of playing on easy(!), I just had to cheat money because it was pretty much impossible to progress or would take months. You can get some money from opening chests (100-800) if you are lucky or purifying enemies (100-300 mostly) but to purify the enemies you need to defeat them, and you need a weapon for that and the cheapest is 1,000 coins and this one breaks after 2–3 enemies. Especially at the beginning, this is very frustrating. You can make skill upgrades, so that the weapon don't break that fast or do more damage, but it cost like 1,000,000 coins to get to a noticeable skill level of damage + durability

the unique style of this game is great, and it could be easily one of the best games this year, but the huge grind sadly makes it only an average 3-4 star experience

The repeat till you get it system isnt that good in my opinion but definitely can be better all in all not that fun its the graphics that save it for me. That said i think defeat scenes should be added too for the normal monsters.

The foundation of the game is great, with good models, no bugs and an interesting concept.
But the main gameplay loop just isnt balanced at all. The game dosnt know if it wants you to fight things or sneak past things.

IF you try to stealth past things and sneak attack monsters, half of them spot you from out your field of view so now you have to fight. The other half spawn staring at the only way down the coriridoor so you physcally cant. In the few rooms where neither of these things happens and you can use a bottle to distract them and hit them from behind which shows it all can work great. but this is few and far between.

So fine you think ill fight. Well first off you have to find a weapon to start. Then when you do fight the enemis you get nothing for it if you dont purify them, which, even after leveling my relevant stat 12 times means you can only purfiy 2 eneimes before your out of juice and have to wait 5 mins before you can do it again. but if you dont do this the monsters all respawn and then always know where you are until you leave the level, even if you hid in the rng lockers that spawn to try and help with the stealth.

And this then becomes a problem because money. anything and everything in this game needs you to get money from upping your stats to getting new items.

A metal bar costs 1000, on the first level you can kill at most 2/3 enemies with it that each get you 100 each, which means it costs more to interact with the monsters that reward you get for killing them. So if your interacting with them in any way but the sneaking up and hitting them its a net loss, which then become a problem beacuse 90% of the enimes can only be dealth with in this way.

Then looking at the perks you can buy nothing helps with stealth, its all about being caught and then getting a boon after being caught, which goes agaisnt the whole stealth aspect of the game. so you never actually feel like your progressing any futher up the tower.

i fell with a little bit of balance testing and tweaking of numbers, these things could be fixed to make an interesting game, but as it stands it isnt quite there. i will keep an eye on it as it is well made with no bugs tha i encountered after playing for 4 hours. however the models look great and its a great vibe of a horror meats porn.

TLDR the stealth part of the game is badly balanced, which causes the rest of the game to fall down around it. If you wanna see the porn cheat a load of gold into the game and turn it into a generic shooter with info ammo.

Wow, the game is amazing.
It has fun game play, more or less unique graphical style, which is more classic but still pretty good.
Sex animations are well done and there are plenty of verity of them.
Monsters are a bit scary but hot enough to be hot.

The biggest downside of the game and the same problem which the first game of the Author has, are the endless labyrinth.
I found it very annoying run through a hug amount of levels, multiple times to unlock the boss fight.

best animations, best character dev, best storyline in a while, could go on but pretty damn good tbh.
only thing I would add to the sex scenes would cum and a little more vocalization of the women like actually words but all and all, its a great game

Being in a dark environment for jump scares is one thing. I cannot see a single fucking thing and that's a completely other thing.
Also the difficulty goes from ok very quickly to actually impossible as soon as you dive into the first dungeon. I don't get it.

Not normally into horror games but this one is truly something special, requires real actual skill in order to beat and is very rewarding the further you get into it.

Just remember you aren't a one man army and hiding sometimes is okay, and you won't get filtered like some of the posters here.

10/10

Edit: Bumping this down to a 4 after a fatal error I experienced making me redo an entire ass dungeon because the game lied to me when it said it was "autosaving" I'll probably bump this back up after a few updates when the game is stable enough to not crash like that.

Excellent and unlike anything before it. This game is truly revolutionary in monsterfucking scene. Perfect merge of horror, dungeon exploration and fucking monstergirls. Fantastically animated with a wide roster of enemies. Each dungeon had me excited for more. Clever inspirations from other media really fulfilled some desires kept under lock and key for ages.

Finally I was the pyramid head banging the double-assed hottie.
I was the twisted Doctor Who pleasuring myself with a weeping angel as she couldn't move.
I bested the beefy maneater from dark souls and took her on the floor.
I had monsters beaten, bested and moaning.
Bosses of dungeons usually ending runs were kneeling and deepthroating my cock.
The cute Savina jumping on my dick as I bring another shitload of cash.
Bashful Ophelia taking a full blessed load on her face...

Wow. Freeing experience.

Lethal Company and Devil May Cry in one game. Even aside from the adult content, the game is good.


It would be nice to add progression balance by locking all the weapons in the shop and unlocking them as the player advances through the story otherwise there’s no thrill in finding a rifle in a golden chest when you’ve already bought it. It would also be cool to give enemies abilities, like a statue you have to keep your eyes on or it will chase you; to add various items—like revival orbs or other gear that encourages the player to explore levels, resurrecting you not at the bottom but three or four floors below; weapon upgrades like scopes; and different weapon types.


And it would be awesome if, after beating a stalker, it could keep chasing you if you want, because replaying cleared levels gets boring.

This is the best horror game i've played. The animations, the sprites and characters, the voice actors, all in this game is so great. But i hope in future this game won't be that hard, or would be a difficulty parameters

The game is genuinly amaizing, specially considering this is a solo dev project. The core gameplay loop can at times be a tad repetitive at the later stages in the current version but that would be my only real criticism, and even then nothing prevents you from rushing the dungeons if you don't want to take it the slow way, tho I would love it if they were maybe a few floors smaller or if stealth could be a better option.

Apart from that other types of criticicsm like the reused animations have already been adressed by the creator and are actively being changed, the game is still in developement afer all.

Over all an incredible proyect for a solo dev, the animations are great, the gameplay fun and it already has more polish in development than a lot of games here that are completely finished, I just can't wait for the full release!

the mechanics of this game are very good, the story are also quite intresting. the scenes are not bad ( alot of same similar monster with only slight differences in clothes and skin ). The graphics of the game really suits the theme of the game, 8/10 reccomended

Amazing game, unique characters, great porn, Came back to it after a year because I remembered how good it is. Highly recommended if you dont mind the horror aspects. really hope it gets more development.

Sin Spire is absolutely brilliant, one of the best games I've had the joy of playing on this site.

Balances the horror and the horny aspects perfectly, with unlockables like weapon types and impactful stat upgrades which keep the gameplay constantly fresh and rewarding - and a great range of sex scenes with not only the scarousing enemy types, but also the boss girls who are just objectively hot!!

I'd highly recommend it along with Krasue's first completed game, Halls of the Pale Widow, which is a fantastic experience if you can handle a little spooking before you coom!

This current v0.0.5 Alpha needs some balancing of course, so feel welcome to use CE if you need it to progress. With how good HotPW was, I have full confidence Krasue will master this game as it continues its development!

I think dev has done good job in introducing different maps, designs, weapons etc. already. But perks in my opinion needs to be cheaper. I grinded my butt just to lose all the progress by screen freeze. I had spent roughly 100+ times to develope my character but it takes too much time. Before people lose interest, I think you should make their life easier a little bit. And in early phase, that flipping leg monster and cave woman monster are extremely powerful for us. Guide scrolls etc. are cool as well. I think you can make 3 save rights when in dungeon as well. Because glitches are making it unpleasant when we get caught by the stalker and onward... You can consider adding more dialogue options to already made characters including stalker. Thank you.

It's... An okay game. The ideas and the effort are nice, but to try and sum up EVERYTHING into one word, it is: frustrating.
Direction, enemies, length, etc.
Also, to note, I was playing on Normal.

Gameplay, 2/5: Bulk of the Issue
So, everything controls fine. There's a bit of delay between swinging and hitting with melee weapons, katana being fastest, guns are fine to shoot, but... That's about it.
Game balance is a problem as in, just running and not dealing with anything seems to be the best course of action: fuck the timer, (don't) fuck the enemies, fuck the chests (after you get what you need). Enemies range from non-issue to annoying, and the bosses are easy to annoying. As I played, the more I got frustrated at everything, because it was easy, but tedious as hell. 10 levels, 1 run to get 1 orb, you need 2, 3, then 4 orbs to open boss rooms.

But just to give an in-depth view of one thing, I'll talk about stealth:
Stealth is an issue; enemies have (about) a 150 degree viewing angle? And a VERY long range so they can see you down a corridor. This becomes an issue in the VERY FIRST LEVEL. One of the possible rooms is that, there's a prison(?) right next to a corridor. You literally cannot sneak past because the wall is transparent and even crouching they spot you, meaning you are GUARANTEED to lose time. BUT it is a non-issue because once you run through a few times and get a weapon and some items, just speedrunning and spamming the map to get to the exit is all that's needed. You can get to the end without the timer running out, you can pick up a few chests on the way for whatever you find, and you can tank or parry a few hits and be on your merry way.
Enemies become tanky, but still have very good hearing and sight, so stealth STILL is not a solution, so hitting the legs (running) still is the best answer. BUT one of the enemies has long range and shakes your camera around, leading to it becoming frustrating because there's too many enemies to fight, not enough time to fight, stealth is not a solution, fucking the enemies and being "unnoticed" doesn't pause the timer, and it just trickles down to everything sort of not meshing well together
In short, the systems and balance of the game do NOT synergize with each other. I'm not running because "ooh scary" I'm running because I just want this to be over already. The tutorial was more tense and creepy than the rest of the game.
There are a lot more that I can complain and go in-depth about, like chest loot, money, boss fights, but I've talked enough and will also give the game this, it has surprisingly few bugs and I only came across a door that lead into an impassable wall once.

I'm giving it a 2 because it all still works like guns shoot, crouching behind is stealthy, and hiding when nothing sees you go in works. But again, there are flaws in the foundation.

Visuals, 4/5: Cool Designs, but Re-Used (Re-color)
I understand that making new assets are tough, and that it's still alpha state, however, it's always a bit disappointing to see what are essentially re-skinned enemies. While I did find that many did not really tickle my boner, I must admit that the variety and overall design still hits a pretty good balance of "ooh you freaky" and "OH YOU'RE A FREAK" There is a bit of awkward clipping like when you just start fucking and how it just kind of instantly gets into position but overall is fine.

Audio, 4/5: Good, but also Re-Used
So, the re-skinned enemies also have the same moans. There's even one enemy that has the same voice but different attack (but also same sex position) and that is the gunner in the 4th level. Ambience is nice.

Story, 3/5: Average
It tries to be serious and mysterious, but it feels a little bit... Generic? Each "Stalker" has their own backstory, which is nice, but none of them really spoke out to me or stuck with me, just general, "Oh this one, her lover cheated on her so now she's evil" and that's about the only story I remember.

Overall, 3/5: Half the Foundation is Good, the Other Half is Bad
The main bulk of the issue is just gameplay because it's piss easy, but also tedious as fuck or annoying, such as the enemy that moves your camera around. Bosses too. Too many re-runs just to fight a boss. The visual direction and the sound design is good. The voice acting could be a bit better, but is perfectly serviceable.
I do not know which direction the game should go, whether it should embrace the action side of things, or stealth-horror, but I really hope it gets a major rebalancing.

I feel like I should say this too, but I really do feel like it has potential to be far better than it currently is. As I've said, half it's foundation is good, I think the tutorial really gets that "Horror Game but with freaky, freaky, monsters" down well.

I played Sin Spire and gotta tell you, this game makes me feel nostalgic, back in 2000s old horror shooters. And that nostalgic feeling combining with sexy enemies and allies girls around you makes this game very good. Story isn't so complicated but I am so interested in what will be next, will I meet Ophelia again, will there be more content with Savia. Sad it is not finished yet , so we just need to let the developer work and support him as we can.

This game surprisingly good. It's well made, well written and the ambience is fenomenal.
This game looks like another step in the ''Adult game industry'' towards a more serious and pro genre.

Having said that. I personally think the grind is a bit too much. And having to do 4 runs to get 4 orbs a bit unnecesary.

This is not, however, a thing that bothered me at all. But I found myself just running towards the end just to get the orb quickly instead of enjoying the actual dungeons.

Last of all, to make the dungeons more unique, I would put interactable NPC's.

On a side note. I miss more sexual positions more than just misionary on the majority of the enemies.
I'll keep an eye of this game and definetely buy it once it's complete.

This is peak. It's hard to even believe this is only v0.0.5, the gameplay flows amazingly well and the gameplay is genuinely fun and interactive where you actually have to do tactical banging to succeed with a very good balance between slight horror and ambience to back it up. The difficulty is perfect as well giving you an actual challenge and making you think, and even then if its too hard for others the difficulty could've been changed for them in the beginning to select. Graphics are also amazing, visually this game impresses me so much that it's an h game. On top of all of this, the lore of this game is actually interesting and I'm honestly invested. It's fed in a way that makes you want to learn more and isn't jammed down your throat like others. There is so much potential for this game going forward especially with the other characters you interact with. I am really looking forward to if there is going to be more romance between the characters and just how the lore of the game unfolds as you learn more. I should also mention the voice acting is done beautifully as well with emotion and character within them, and I can actually feel how that character would sound. Overall, this game is a master class of what other h games should strive to be especially when it's in such a hard format as 3d first person compared to the RPGM slop that's around. I very much look forward to future content and I hope there is even more romance and scenes with Savina and the others. I would also like to see the Stalkers of the dungeons return and interact with the player as the scenes and dialogue would be really interesting to see.
