    Terrible adult game.
    But as game it's really good. Fun to play, good amount of content for a couple of days. I really like this kind of games where you don't need to mash a buttons to attack.
    Can recommend if you're not horny (for real, treat it as a cool indie game to avoid blueballs)

    Gameplay is fun and good (Vampire survivors with a decent amount of variety), Porn is very lacking (some NPCs can lose clothes and 1-2 nude portrait images at the time of this review).

    4/5 because of the gameplay, 1/5 because of porn content so giving it a 3 is fair to me

    As for me, I really like this game.

    Nothing complicated - just shoot and evade enemies. There is ton of unlockable characters and scenes. My only issue is after exploiting couple of rounds with powerful synergies the game can turn off your computer by overloading its memory - it usually happens at the late stages. Therefore, I recommend not to be greedy (1 000 000 gems is more thane enough!) and leave the stage.

    As for erotic content, it, for sure, exists, but do not expect something detailed or extravagant. But maybe someone find the artsyle pretty fappble, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

    Thus, if you are searching for a rouge-like game without complicated story, to turn your brain off and just enjoy the process for a couple evenings, this one is certainly for you!

    3/5 game, but a 1/5 porn game.

    The game's not a bad take on the vampire survivor's genre, but I don't find it enjoyable for an extended period of time. Instead of the usual weapon stacking, you add NPCs into your blob of a party.

    And I do mean "instead of".

    There is no game design mechanic that utilizes the NPCs. Enemies still path to you like a standard vampires survivor game, and the game does not have any advanced unit control beyond "death ball around me".

    Left alone, NPCs will follow you unless there's an enemy in range. If they see an enemy, NPCs will either stand in place and shoot, or jump into melee and stab their target, and only resume following you if they or the enemy dies.

    Not that dying means anything. When an NPC loses all their health, they just return to your side and regenerate back to full HP.

    That's the gist of the main gameplay loop. Vampire survivors, but instead of weapons you have a basic party system. Sure, the NPCs get in the way when you try to kite, but it's still a competently done system. 3/5


    As for the porn part of the game...

    I assume it's accessed through the "breakroom" part of the main menu, since that seems to spit out a random character interaction cutscene after every mission.

    The only problem is the scenes are completely random and without context. There's no introduction to any of the characters, setting, or relationships, so it ends up being a random pile of lolrandom humour.

    With that said, "lolrandom humour" is about how I'd describe the tone of the writing. It's grammatically adequate, but character interactions and dialogue are closer to tumblr shitposts rather than actual words spoken by believable characters.

    Random access to maybe-not-porn scenes without context, poor writing, and a complete lack of cohesion is why I rate this as a 1/5 porn game. Only reason it's not 0 is because there's a clear art style the game aims for.

    Note that it might still be a 0/5 porn game. I can't actually confirm the porn is accessed through the breakroom menu, because I can't be bothered to continue playing this game.

    In conclusion, if you've already consumed all the other vampire survivors style games on the market, Solace Inc isn't a bad derivative of the genre. On the other hand, if you're just looking for a porn game, you can definitely do better than Solace Inc.

    If you have played the previous title, you will know why the review is low.
    The game itself is addictive, I love it... If it weren't, again, for being a porn game. Again, there are no cutscenes anywhere, I'm even starting to doubt that there really are any, because I spent a long time playing, unlocking and grinding; and nowhere did I see scenes or indications of these.
    There are like 5 in the skills menu, but it's in a super chibi sprite that barely even shows any detail. So I can't even count that as a scene. In short: There is none.
    If you're looking for porn, there isn't any. I don't know why this artist loves to do the same thing; brother, play your normal game without fucking porn. I don't even do this by criticizing anymore, but rather by explaining how frustrating it is to see that potential completely fall apart >:/


    Edit: Little did we know that the scenes that appear in the screenshots are actually images from a folder in the files and not an in-game scene.
    Even more unnecessary that it was nsfw.
