Unity - Completed - SiNiSistar [v3.0.0] [Uu]

Ah, Sinisistar. The game that broke a decade long drought of mine where I neither had the patience nor the interest to complete any other till it came along. That on its own is a story I could delve into, but we're here for a review, darn it! Now on with the show!

Does it have the best gameplay? No. Does it have the best animations? Nein again. What it does have is soul. Its atmosphere alone perfectly captures the setting's dark, mysterious mood, assisted by ghastly enemy encounters that remind the player they are not meant for struggle snuggles. In reality I'd argue this game does an incredible job instilling enough fear that you don't want to fail.

Yes, I know. Folks want to fail to see the adult content but for me I was hooked on surviving. I wanted Rabiane to complete her holy journey and bring an end to the evils that plagued the realm. More importantly, I was immersed in this game's world. It has kept me awake late at night more than once as an inspiration for my own creative endeavours, and this is a game that only has a silent protag!

That to me is the real beauty of this game. It conveys a great story just with its artistic direction alone that I've played it through to the end more times than I can count. The same can't be said for any other games of this genre, even ones I also love for different reasons.

But Zanu, how does it compare to the sequel? Well...

Don't get me wrong, the sequel is superior in many ways but there's just something about the original that still holds up pretty well. Maybe it's nostalgia talking but even with the sequel fresh in my mind the only theme from its soundtrack I remember is ironically a throwback to a track from the original. Yes, the gameplay is better in the sequel. Yes, the animations are superior in it, too. It also has soul and many of the qualities I love about the original but, you know what? They're different enough I don't favour one over the other.

So, do yourself a favour and play both! You won't regret it, especially if you're a fan of dark horror, ambience and immersion.

I know this is a Subjective Review but I cant give it a 5/5 or even wanted to really give it a 4/5 - Its not my kind of H-Game.

Overall the Game is nice. Its a tiny bit Short for my Taste but for that its packed with Unique Areas, Art and such - actually in the Art Aspect it looks as if No 2 Spots look the same so theres a extreme amount to Detail made which is Noteworthy. The Pixel-esque Style is unique too and with the Shading has its own Charme.

The Porn Aspect...again not my kinda Cup of Tea so I wont talk much about it

Other than that, the Fighting is Simple yet Entertaining so overall its a Very Good game - though Replayability might be lacking a bit

You might think this looks like some cool souls like porn game right? Well welcome to early youtube era of thumbnail clickbait. The game has horrible pacing and gameplay.

Gameplay:
One attack move only which is a unfun clunky upwards sweep attack with questionable range.
The arrows feel very slow to fire.
Jumping? This should have been something smooth but it feels horrible to jump over traps and pit holes.


Enemy Designs:
The enemy timings are weird. Windups for many are near nonexistent.
Damage? Idk how that works I just try not to get hit.
Most enemies are not meat sponges but bosses certinainly are.
Biggest issue with monsters are those VILLAGERS (more on that later).

Bosses:
Early game boss? Just spam arrows and a couple attacks.
Other bosses? The same except like the last one.
Ironically my favorite boss was the big parasite baby because we got some fun rhythm game.
My least favorite one? That shitty parasite spawning egg throwing parasites that you need to shoot down thats right shoot down.
Overall the bosses are in very poor quality like the last one which is just some jumping and attacking a big eye.

Scenes/Background:
The strongpoint in the game. Looks like some soulslike 1998 arcade metroidvania game but thats really all there is to it.

Levels:
Levels are incredibly short and you can finish the whole game in one hour.
The village is by far the hardest and if you dont know that you are supposed to hit the locks then have fun killing like 15 villagers in a row (you just rush them down and spam attack).
Traps are AWFUL. From the beginning flowers to the parasites to the ending spying weird humanoid spiders its all just so bad.
Flower traps have absurd range so pair that with the bad jumping and you will get hit even when standing "one floor" above it.
Parasites? Do i need to say anything more? Kill a villager and they just pop out??? Like yeah I get it but its so annoying having to spam attack one more time after.
Those human spider cameras? Cmon im not here to drive my car just let me rush through the game.



Finishing thoughts:

The game is a clickbait for people who like dark fantasy. Visuals catch your eye at first but there is so little to the game, horrible combat and those weird japanese fetishes that will put even the greatest of degenerates onto the righteous path of redemption. All in all don't waste your time on this game.


1/5

Extremely well made sidescroller with very atmosperic story telling.
Good art style interesting enemies and fun gameplay that doesn't get dull over time. You clrealy see the dev had passion doing this one

Nice art and animations, gameplay is fairly hard though that may just be because the controls and swinging feels a bit clunky. Spider boss felt just impossible and I quit at that point, but anyone with more stick-to-itness should try it out.

SiNiSistar is a fun little gem of a game. Atmospheric storytelling, lovely pixel art, and gameplay that is challenging without being discouraging all come together to make this a standout example of how to do a side-scroller right.

It's a bit too hard at times explaining the 4 BUT OTHERWISE THIS IS A 5/5 NO QUESTION the theme the atmosphere the monsters this feels more like a game game than a h game but the content in here does make it h game not really a game u fap too in my opinion but definitely worth playing for the style atmosphere and music and lowkey plot.

It's just not a very good porn game unfortunately. The main issue is there is just not enough sex, it's mostly gore with some erotic trappings here and there but as an erotic game it fails in my opinion. If there was a good story or something it might be worth playing but there's hardly any story either. I like the character design, the fighting nun is super hot, but unfortunately all you will be seeing is her gruesome death scenes.

Excellent art style, atmosphere and animation for those who like goth. As the name suggest, it's very sinister.
The only bad thing I can say about this game is that the gameplay is very basic. It's really straightforward, it's all about killing or avoiding enemies. Unfortunately, there is no puzzle or even platform.
Also there is absolutely no real challenge. If you are playing a level and you lose all your health or ammunition, you'll just respawn in the area you died, so you don't have to be careful... just go straight, die and get all your health and ammunitions back.

But this game definitely deserve a 5/5 because it's all killer, zero filler. The rythm is very good and you don't get bored. You get to see plenty of new content and unique enemies very fast. It respects your time, even though it's pretty short. The bosses are good (a bit too easy except the last ones).

The fetishes are pretty weird though and definitely not for everyone. Don't expect a single vanilla animation. It can be extremely disturbing at times.

A short game you can finish in an hour. The gallery will open once you finish the game and then two additional stages will appear, adding half an hour to the game.

I don't like games with a female protagonist, especially corruption games, but I'm a simp for souls games and the gameplay here really appealed to me and I enjoyed it.

I struggled with the controls at first, but I figured out how to change the buttons in the settings and played with a controller instead of the keyboard. Otherwise it would be uncomfortable, even if it was just z, x, c.

I tried to finish the game on a virgin route, but it seems that this is not possible in terms of difficulty and story progression.

There is no story, or at least not a clear one. This is not an issue for me, but I mention it because a lot of people care about this detail.

The sexual content is gruesome, I'm used to it because I've seen worse, but for the general audience it might not be suitable for you.

gameplay is unavoidable yet completely unenjoyable. Whose idea was it to make a porn game where it's just gore for the first half an hour atleast of gameplay and where the player has to slog through shit game mechanics to get to the bits of porn sprinkled through the game? Cheat tables to use "godmode" don't work anyway so you can't even bypass it very easily

Pretty good sidescroller game. Not that hard, the art and style is great, sexy and sometimes gruesome. The levels and enemies are good, and although it's a short game, it's worth trying all the defeat scenes, that makes it a little longer as well. The checkpoint system is pretty forgiving, so getting defeated intentionally by every new enemy isn't really a problem.

Really good game. Art and sound are superb.

Only really bad thing is that it's a pretty mediocre porn game. It's all sprites and the art style tries to add too much detail which ends up making it look like just a collection of pixels. At least the deaths are creative.

Some of the bosses seem pretty hard at first but it's all about figuring out the puzzle behind the fight. If you manage to do that, every fight becomes a breeze. Makes for a pretty satisfying game play loop.

Also there's not explicit story. You can get an idea of what's happening, but the game itself doesn't tell you anything.

Really I'd say that everyone should play this. It's high quality despite not being great porn. And it's very short, leaves you yearning for more. The people who made this have a fruitful career in pixel art and game design ahead of them.

Really enjoyed the horror aesthetic and more shocking animations. Dev has a fantastic artstyle, and I hope they expand on it with the next game. Admittedly the resolution is low. Without the character portrait you can't actually make out Rabiane's face, but you still have a clear, vivid idea of what's happening. As you progress you're treated to more impressive scripted sequences and graphic post-ending scenes. I was really hoping there might be some alternate endings or branching conditions, but that can also become hard to track and feel arbitrary. Combat was pretty straightforward, and even someone who hates this genre shouldn't have much trouble on easy. One nitpick, maintaining a sense of helplessness is important to the horror genre, but finding a balance of player tension and frustration with controls is difficult. There were a few platforms where Rabiane's limited jump arc was frustrating. One of the last zones, Animal Farm was also very frustrating for how small the window was to dodge and hit many enemies.

I can think of many ways the dev could expand on the next title. More metroidvania exploration, leveling, items, equipment, status/corruption systems.

A gruesome pronographic platformer with pixel art, the gameplay is nice, the H-scenes are really messed up, you can often see multiple defeat scenes and then finally see the game over screen, there's boss fights, 5/5.

Played it since early V1.2.0 to V3.0.0

Proper horror/dark fantasy H-Game that doesn't have the tired trope of just offering generic evil humans/werewolves/tentacles as the main source of titillation against the female protagonist and instead offers extremely creative monster designs, it is highly reminiscent in atmosphere to games like Bloodborne and Castlevania. It is a refreshing take on the monotonous echo chamber of boring repetitive sex and archetypal aesthetic most H-games have.

Great art value as well as original enemies and backgrounds that are beautifully designed. Gameplay was simple yet at times challenging. I adore the pixel art genre, yet this game stands out as the best one I've played to date. Dark, oppressive, and eerie; this game is a must try for anyone looking for a true horror H-game.

Brilliant art style and music. The gameplay is simple but well-polished with decent challenge. There's a surprising amount of content, too
The sex scenes are great as well and don't feel overly abundant or cheesy if you get what I mean
Worth mentioning: you don't need to be defeated by each enemy to get the corresponding death/sex scene in the gallery, it has everything already unlcoked (you need to beat an area to get that area in the gallery though)

one of the best h-game that you will find in the grand collection that we have access on the internet , the fighting has a great flow and all of the h-scene are good, the multiple content update that the game received after the "main quest" was finished are just the cherry on the cake.

Not really a game I'd fap to, the rot and gore makes me feel way too sick for that, but its really well polished and pretty fun! The art is great, I enjoyed it a good bit. People who are bad with gore and other icky stuff be warned

Hardly worth the 30 minutes I spent on it. The "H-scenes" are just a single image with a heavily pixelated animation in the distance. No gallery to review them (until you finish the whole game, apparently). Very poor combat - jump, swing sword, shoot bow with extremely clunky aiming UI. This is just a tech demo for pixel games that was made by some really horny dude that also enjoys gore. Pass.
