I have played around 6-8 hours of Star Knightess as of update 0.9.1 and I can safely say that is a very good RPGM game with a lot of potential.
Positives
- The worldbuilding. The universe that exists within the game is fun and interesting enough to explore that I almost didn't mind the complete lack of 'real-life' content at the school. The Demon King Richard and his horde are a solid threat to the world.
- Female Protagonist/Mind Control. This seems to be the main hook of the game that differentiates it. You're basically playing as two female protagonists. The main character and the secondary main character who is attempting to corrupt them and alter their mind. It's cool. I wish there was more to it.
- Combat System. The turn-based combat in the game is perfectly fine. No complaints especially since there is an 'easy mode' if you just want to experience the story and the sex scenes (which will go in the negatives) .
Negatives
- Too Grindy. By this I don't mean it in the traditional sense. You have to grind through a lot of the 'fantasy world' story with unfortunately almost no developments to the mind control story or the corruption element. Almost all of my 7 or so hours was spent in the 'fantasy world' rather than the 'real world' or in the mind palace making meaningful changes.
- No Content. The fact of the matter is in this current build there is no sexual content. You have an animated kiss scene which is the most you get and then a description of a handjob. In 7 hours that's all there is that I experienced in terms of that element of the game. Which wouldn't be a problem if this game wasn't on F95.
Conclusion
What this game needs is some quicker progression on the mind control and corruption components. I was disappointed with how little time was spent making actual changes to the main protagonist and seeing those changes occur in the 'real world'. That's when things will begin to pick up but as of now I would say Star Knightess is well and truly still in the beginning/introductory stage of the game and it could be quite awhile until we see more.
Final Verdict
Put it on the watchlist; keep an eye on it; wait and see.
