Unity - Some Heroines Climb Up a Tower to Ask God Why the Game Has a Name That's So Long [v2.42] [Sinful Salad Games]

==V2.42===
-Put a bit more time into it and finally beaten the 2nd level and finally let go of my seething and generally rewrote-
This is probably my 2nd or 3rd time I played this game, and for someone like me that doesn't play many in-depth turn-based games and/or dives in head-first then ask questions and make assumptions later, its a bit difficult to get into.

==Gameplay==
+1 stars
The concept is simple enough, its a rogue-lite where you travel throughout as you constantly fight against an endless onslaught of enemies. You have 3 zones (close, middle, and far) with 3 heroines for each zone (Knight, Shinobi and Archer { [K], (S), and [A] for reference} ), but [K] pushes, (S) pulls, and [A] does neither but has a chance of landing 2 hits. However, each character' damage falls off ~50% the further their attacks are from their zone, but items will always do 100% damage along with skills unless stated otherwise.

As for skills though, they usually come at the cost of either sex res.(buffs and debuffs usually) or stamina/hp, and if sex res. runs out your character is fucked by an enemy until you kill that enemy in which the character will get a damage boost for that turn and the next, though if stamina reaches zero you have to find a slaver and buy your character back -or buy a ticket so heroine appears in box on battlefield.- You do regain some stamina each turn, though a character's sex res is only restored when they kill an enemy.

Of course you can also buy/unlock more skills and items to encounter at the hub with medals (i forgot what they were called), skills from the crocodile lady after defeating a mini-boss, and items from the store owner who'll appear after the first run, though its a fairly early build and there isn't a whole lot of items to unlock, though I think there is a decent number of skills for the current build.

It was hard at first but after putting 5 more hours into it I managed to barely beat the final boss/mushroom scientist along at the same time as the (weakened) spider-lady and started to enjoy it a bit more than at first. I did have a few runs of bad luck, with one spawning enough wizards to cover most of the field or an archer fucking my swordsman while they're being protected by a vodoo doll as the chameleon mini-boss kept my heroines heroines hp at 1, but it does become a bit easy after a bit once you know what to do.

I generally think the first level is balanced well enough with the right path and skill set, but I will say that I do think that the 2nd level would be a bit too easy if it wasn't for the mushrooms, the blue cockroaches are annoying with the damage reduction/nullification they give to nearby enemies but I don't particularly call it a challenge so long as you have still have (S) and can move them. I do wish that there is some more rarer/unique enemeis in the 2nd level that can up the challenge a bit more along with a way to remove (at least 1 or 2) of the spore missiles, but the thing I want the most so far in terms of gameplay is just a way to deal with shroomification aside from just waiting it out (Or its just a flaw with my own style since I try prioritizing more other enemies before dealing with the shrooms that arise once they die).
-It does become pretty bullshit once you can't move or barely attack the blockroaches-
I do like the idea of a boss influencing the field before you do fight them, so I do hope that any other bosses that are added afterward do the same thing for some buildup and give an idea on who you're fighting to form a plan before you finally encounter them

==Presentation==
I like how the sprites look as far the aesthetic goes, and the heroines look cute too. I also think the plot is enough to drive the story with how lighthearted and barebones it is thusfar. There were some bugs that I found, usually the sex res bar turning into a white bar after getting to the 2nd level (heroines that are bought back are fine though), along with a bug that happens if the bomb-boss explodes (I forgot to take a screenshot). Aside from those and occcasional glitch of a sex scene not showing for a moment until the next turn (iirc) there wasn't anything gamebreaking that I noticed, aside from the bomb-boss.


==H-factor==
B rating
I've been a bit too busy seething in previous runs to notice the H-factor and I do think it looks good, though I'm unfortunately not attracted to one of the heroines as I'm no furry (doesn't count since its basically on the cover). I have been trying play things cautiously at first so I haven't been able to view much of the scenes and wasn't able to make a good judgement on it. I do wish that there is a gallery or a more spicey gameover screen depeneding on the level though, still I am a bit more interested in a gallery and I do think it will be added at some point later.

[F = *disqusted look* "Euugh" || C = "Eh, good enough" || S = "Whoa! Where did my pants go?!" ]


==Suggestions and Improvements==


==Conclusion/TLDR==
Seems like a pretty decent turn-based game with a pretty high skill curve, but it does become a bit easy once you get the hang of things, mainly in just managing stamina and sex res. The game generally rewards you for being more daring instead of cautious, as well as being experimental with what you have on hand, and I do recommmend this to people who like turn-based rpgs who want to play something, though there is only 2 levels thus far so there might not be a lot of content after you beat it as it is currently.

I hope for this game to come out at some point on steam. Great potential. The only thing is that there is more of a normal gameplay and too little of sex, or even when sex, at this point it's gonna mean that run is ruined. But considering devs team in 2 ppl. I'm glad that I at least finally can complete first lvl in current version [2.42].

Fuck the rewiev i just made i erased from existent, Now this game its Just as bad as puting you dick beetwen some cactus bcs of the gameplay and progresion, The gameplay its Just so frustrating and lame the bad RNG and the unwineable sittuations that the game put you in its abysmal. The game its not Hard its just unfair. Stil it has a lot of potential And can improove in so many things so for now its just a 5/10 game and it lack a lot of content and Cg animations. i will put this in my watch lst and hope for the better of this game.
(Sorry for my bad english)

This game has a lot of potential. It's a fun rogue-like hindered by poor balancing, RNG, and a inept progression. The H content is lacking, but great for the little amount there is and has room to grow. The game is still in development and I look forward to future updates and progress.

The game loop itself is fun. What isn't fun is how the game locks you in unwinnable situations due to immpossibly bad RNG and not being supplied the tools you need to proceed. It will take a god run to get past level 2 with how much it throws at you. Level one is difficult but doable and once you get the hang of the game it becomes consistently winnable through skill and knowledge.Level 2 is not that. Level two introduces so many more mechanics that you just can't keep up with because of how little the game supplies you with. It's incredibly frustrating after spending hours trying to figure it out, incredibly punishing, and unfair to the player.

Lets list what level 2 introduces:
1. enemies that counter
2. enemies that reduces all damage to baddies around them (potentially all damage and you become locked in an unwinnable game quickly. good luck having the dps to get rid of all of them before they get to the blue squares in 2 TURNS. Also you need to have the dps and sustainability gathered from only the LEVEL before!! This is end game,extra dungeon level of difficulty - not for the second level.)
3. enemies that can hit all heroines
4. Invincible missiles that are difficult to remove and cast a enemy replacement buff to enemies around it EVERY TURN. Removal is RNG dependent on where the missles land and if another missle lands nearby. Good luck having the dps before this enemies get this buff.
5. Mushroom debuffs and poison.

Introducing one or two mechanics would have made it spike in difficulty. The game creator introduced ALL OF THESE in the SECOND level. It can't be consistently won even after you figure out the mechanics. It becomes RNG dependent and a not good game design. I hope the creator thinks more about the balance of the game and improves it going forward as, again, there is A LOT of potential for this game.

This is THE game. You can PLAY it.
Soundtracks not that boring and all keeps more or less single theme.
Artstyle is a personal thing for everyone. And can't be valued. Nothing too strange or too ugly for f95 average user.
Text/lore/dialogs not overwhelms player and funny to read.
18+ content have some good amount in game. And as well it is again personal thing for everyone and can't be valued. Theme of content and fetishes somewhat repeats and you know what to expect but still there is enough thing to see.

(almost) Negative thing -- it is difficulty of game. But some may it find positive.
Gameplay repeats itself and currently only few random things refreshes game. Picking skills, different bosses. Though it feels that there is more space for random-iness.

If put away all small bad things, game in my humble opinion has raiting "must play at least once".

The art is great, but the gameplay of constantly battling is quite repetitive. The porn is okay, but you can only see any sex scenes during these battles. A lot of times however, they can lead to you losing, so it's so-so about even wanting to see the porn. All in all, it has great potential, but it's still a long ways from being good imo.

TL;DR: A fun game that has a nice gimmick which makes playing it as an actual game a viable option. Writing is good, artstyle is really pleasant, but suffers from a lack of proper porn aspects

+ I love the artstyle, tbh
+ The writing is goofy and funny, doesn't take itself seriously and isn't shy about it
+ The gameplay is surprisingly fun and engaging while also being relatively challenging

- While the MCs have nice tits, the porn aspects of this game fall flat for me, I just don't really find myself getting too invested into the groping/capture/whatever imagery when I'm more focused on trying not to get wiped the fuck out by 4 archers and 6 ghosty boys. If I had to recommend a change, I'd say that some sexual scenes involving some of the recurring cast members can take place between battles when you're moving in the overworld, that could offer some lewd shit outside of the hectic battlezone, but that's just my opinion.

Overall, I'd definitely play this for a couple of more runs, but I don't see myself getting too invested into it as a porn game, instead I'll be playing it as a fun little side thing.

I tried this game because I was attracted by the art style, and boy was it worth it!

First of all, and most remarkable is its gameplay, you could say it's a good mix between tactical game and tower defense, but at the same time it's something completely different, it feels really fresh, although the difficulty can be a bit crazy sometimes!

You will use three important characters, a girl knight (Aka Swordwoman), a hairy girl (Aka Archer) and my personal favorite a Shinobi blue-haired girl (Aka Ninja), you will have to combine their skills wisely if you want to survive long enough, and manage RNG too, so u wil need repeated plays to do your best.

Losing is not all bad, since you get erotic scenes this way, and honestly the reason why most of us play the game hahaha!

There are plenty of interactions between the girls, plus a meta humor that made me laught at times, the game is not heavy in terms of text and you will spend most of the time playing or unlocking scenes, so the interactions are great to give variations to the rhythm of the game. although this is quite subjective and may change from player to player.

At the moment there is not too much content, but I see a huge potential to expand the game, besides adding some features that would further enhance the experience (like a gallery, but i think that Extra option in the main menu will gave something like this in the future).

tl;dr: I really recommend this game, quite different from everything I've tried in this genre and with a charm that I have not seen elsewhere (Sexy ninja included).

Relatively light on concentrated H-content, it's more sprinkled throughout the game rather than super-focused on it, though it should be noted that the art is hella good. The draw here is the combat/gameplay loop, and it's really solid - characters do zone-based damage, and some can move enemies between zones. Combined with battle being essentially continuous throughout a region, it makes for an extremely fun roguelike, if you can stomach the difficulty (which is decently high). Big recommend.

The gameplay is fun, charming and actually quite difficult, but still fair. The three heroines are each well designed and have interesting abilities that are fun to use and make most runs feel different. As more floors are added, I'm excited to see how much variety there ends up being.

Storywise, the plot and characters are fine. I wish the game leaned a little less heavily on it's meta humour, but it doesn't ruin the games story or anything. I actually laughed a couple times from various character interactions and was surprised at how detailed some of them were.

The art is great and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it. I would love more scenes like the one with Beholdan that mash together writing and art. Maybe sound too if that's ever in the cards.

It's a difficult game, but honestly worth giving a try to see whether you like it or not. If you're struggling then their are a few resources here and in the discord that can help make the learning cliff into a curve. If after all that you still just really don't like it, then their are some mods in the thread that make the game easier or straight up braindead. No shame there, no game is for everyone and the art is amazing if you enjoy Trongle's style. Don't let wierd elitists on here or the discord tell you otherwise.

This is another one of those games that stands head and shoulders above the WEG pack and that I would still enjoy even if it didn't have fat ninja tiddies. It's a fun roguelite with solid mechanics and nice art. Also, good god am I glad to see another game that isn't afraid to have some modium of difficulty.

I have played quite a few games of this style, I mean they have no mercy on you, you either learn or you die, and curiously it is one of the ones that does it best among those I know, it reminds me of slay the spire, I don't know exactly why, the art is for me at least a 10/10 by the way

Alright, after 4 hours of playing through this game we need to get something straight. Who ever keeps referring to this as a rouge-like needs to either open google and figure out what "Rouge-like" means or stop trolling. Sure this game attempts to look and feel like a rouge-like but its missing the literal one thing that makes rouge-likes what they are... progression!? Every time you get reset you lose literally everything... and the game even meme's about it? Its so egregious even the MC's even ask the narrator why they don't keep stat upgrades!

There's a very minimal "buy different skills shop" but even that you need to get lucky and find the skills in the wild. This makes for this mind numbingly boring grind that relies completely on RNG. There are even items you can chance upon that give you a very small stat increase but again you lose them on reset? It's so absurd I was honestly waiting for a pop up telling me to "sub to patreon if you want the stats to carry over!!!!" but even that didn't happen.

Over all this game goes out of it's way to waste your time, the simplest changes could make it an actual Rouge-like, but it's more interested in making soaking every minute you plan on browsing games I guess?

The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 is it's got a great art style but until you can actually play the game don't bother.

An extremely fun game with meh h content. The dialogue and wit are charming, the loop is addictive, the mechanics are simple, new, and fun. Fans of roguelikes will find a lot here to enjoy - those looking to get off should look elsewhere.

But seriously, though: Gamers, play this game.

Last Words:
The art style is very nice and the story is funny and is partly aimed directly at the player, which is quite interesting. However, the gameplay is trash. There's hardly anything to do except the rouge-like battles and they're far too difficult. Far too many enemies spawn and you hardly have any chance of defending yourself properly unless you happen to get the strongest skills at the start.

Pros:
Excellent art (drawing+scenes)
Well-written characters
Funny yet not trying-too-hard-to-be-funny dialogs
Well-balanced difficulty (although sometimes a bit too hard)

Cons (maybe some are in the game, I couldn't complete it)
First of all, no gallery mode (yet?)
No guide or hints about what to do next (did the run and succeded a few times, bought everything except a few skills with the dragon lady)
Can't withdraw money from deposit dude
A longer game over screen would be nice
A story yet to be developed (well, it's a demo...)

Can't wait to try the next update

The art's great, the humor's cheeky and cringey, but in the best ways. The story seems nonsensical, but the worldbuilding is there, which is a pleasant surprise.

Voice acting tag is bait, and the game's better for it. You can hear some audible enjoyment from the girls when they are getting manhandled and whatnot, but overall you gotta use your eyeballs and read. And as I mentioned before, the reading's good here, so suck it up and enjoy.

But the most important thing: this game is actually FUN TO PLAY! If you want a cool spin on the classic rogue-lite "travel to the boss through the nodes on the map and repeat" then it's right up your alley.

Personally, I sunk 6 hours into the demo the first time I started playing, so I strongly recommend you try the game out.

Riddled with bugs.
Had a glitch to make me stare at a blank screen at start up and wouldnt fix no matter what, reinstall/restart computer, delete appdata so on and on
Few days later it randomly decides to work but even after few minutes of playing i got a game breaking bug, And this game is rogue-like(ish) so all the progress just went down the drain.

Concept, art and stuff doesnt look too bad but game isnt even functioning properly.

Edit: bumped from 1 stars to 2 because dev contacted to inquire about the bug(s). Still can't say anything about the state of the bugs till I try it again sometime.

+ Art is very nice ( I usually stay away from WEGs but often times you find gold like this one.)
+ Title is very descriptive and lets the player know exactly what he is getting into, very nice, more works should do this.
- Combat system is a bit weird and has an RNG aspect to it with the skills
- Not a lot of animations, nor a gallery system, but the game is still in early development, so its understandable.
All in all, it's looking great!

For a demo, this is really good, and I'm in love with this art style. The dialogue is actually funny, but the game has a few problems, such as the game being based on RNG, the crushing difficulty (which isn't a problem for me, but I know it's not everybody's cup of tea), and the music loop. But I think it's still really good. I would honestly still play this if it weren't a porn game. Keep up the good work!
