Unreal Engine - Subverse [v0.9] [Studio Fow]

Gameplay wise its really fun both Space fights and ground fights actually fun to play.
Characters are funny there is plenty of jokes everywhere but for now girl body types are kinda similiar i hope it changes in future.
Game is actually have a story and its pretty exciting for now i'm excited about whats gonna happen.
Sex scenes are just 10 second loops and low at the moment.
Kinda short i was actually expecting more content.

I dont know what was people waiting for but for me its a pretty good game.

What a letdown. So much money in crowdfunding, plus the huge delay of the game and this is the result?`I realise that its early accses.. but still.

I mean sure the animations are nice and all, but not that spectacular, seems like people can do similar scenes in HS 2 studio with multiple POVs at that. Though the character design is pretty damn good. The best part for me is probably the music. Yeah.. the music.. in an "adult" game is the best part.

The issue with Subverse for me is that I want a porn game. This feels like they've focused way more on everything else, and left the actual porn as an afterthought. The scenes themselves and the way you unlock them are entirely underwhelming. There's less sex content in this entire game right now than a single one of FOW's old videos. Sure the game looks great, the presentation is fantastic, voice acting, cinematics, all of that. But I came here for the quality porn you'd expect from FOW and there's not much of it. I appreciate the team's ambition, and it is an impressive feat, but it's just not what I wanted or expected from this project.

Why would i bother writing a real review when a tourist does not need to write one to give it a 1 star? Everything about the game that's not the porn is excellent, 5 stars, no precedent in WEG. The porn is underwelming mostly because there is not nearly enough of it and the way it is presented in disjointed snippets of scenes that seam to have their previous and following snipets missing acording to the names. If they adress this and the game get's a lot more porn content in proper form it will easily be the best porn game released. If not it will be a 4 star game with 3 star porn. There, there's your 200 characters

Well,I really wanted to like this game and buy it to support them, but I feel kind of disappointed to be honest, there are a lot of things I feel like they are missing. If at least the loops had an interactive camera I would buy it, but it is just a gif.

Pretty good graphics as expected from StudioFOW, especially the ones build upon Western stories/games are lovely. But most around Asian games like their biggest movie project Kunoichi is just one big clusterfuck that misses a good movie editor or something...

Subverse is suffering from the same problem. The story is jumping and it feels extremely drawn out or to slowdown in places where it shouldn't. Like a animation of a empty building for like 5 minutes or a poor clunky action animation with a long focus of the girl just staring into the distance between a bunch of enemies.

Hopefully they make a Snyder cut or something of this game

This game has a lot of potential but at the moment it's incredibly lacking. The animations and voice acting are great and get a 4/5. The porn though, 2/5. Basically at the moment there's no much of it at all. Right now the game is 4-5 hours of mind numbing gameplay for like 2 mins worth of porn.

Considering this is studio FOW, i must say this game was quite bad. The artworks and voice acting are amazing as always, but everything else feels a bit lacking. No story leading to the sex scene, just a few second long loops you can unlock with points. Maybe i have my expectation too high because FOW was amazing with their movies before. Will try again after a few more updates.

Expected more

This game falls victim to its own hype and the expectations people had of it since it's been in development for so long.

1. Too much grind very little reward for your efforts.

2. World building is mediocre.

3. The adult scenes are played in a gallery mode and they are about 10 seconds of looped animation of which it's mostly just teasing and idle animations rather than actual sex .

Gameplay: Clunky
Sex scenes: pointless / detached
Protagonist: annoying
Story: I came up with better stuff when I was 8

I'm from germany, so torrenting was the only option for me to get this game and BOI am I glad that I didn't buy it, that saved me the effort of filing a refund request just 5 minutes into the game...

Wow... the amount of "hate" and "disappointment this game has already garnered in the last 48 hours is absolutely baffling, seriously, if you just wanted to watch porn and jerk off there are plenty of other options available for you out there, namely one of the many porn sites *wink wink*

You might have to work for it and yeah at the beginning you might be thinking "Wtf, i thought i could handle my d*ck in one hand while going through the game and just c*m constantly" Yeah.... no, this game has alot of content that isnt just w*nk off material created for the people that have supported it, there are plenty of jokes to go around, plenty of customization and PLENTY of choices of which kind of scenes you want to get your jollies off to and plenty of ACTUAL GAMEPLAY that is mostly missing from most of the other VN type of games, if you can even categorize this as such.

The reason for most of the low rated reviews seem to be because their computers can't handle the Unreal engine, well tough fucking luck, the developers wanted to create something that you could just not get your jollies off to but something that you could enjoy while playing and have fun with, its absolutely disgusting to read some of the reviews on this site critizing this game because they themselves can't run it.

After 6 hours, i can say its worth it to buy on steam on whatever other platform you wish, sure the jokes can be sort of hit-and-miss and there other issues such as not being able to do missions again at times but for the amount of content that has been released currently it is definately worth it.

Amazing gameplay, animations, and characters. Would have enjoyed more content but the 0.1 release still kept me busy for 6 hours. Looking forward to more sex scenes and waifus.

Everyone complaining is adorable.

This game is a good game, but a terrible porn game.

So two stars, because the renders are good, and the gameplay is alright, it works, it's not something like innocent witches or some broken game. But having 2 stars because it's worse elsewere...

But in the other hand, there isn't really an interest to play this game instead of just looking at the scenes on any porn site.
I mean, you unlock the scenes without context, it's just loops. besides, they must be unlocked, like some sort of boring puzzle game no one plays, except if it's your first porn game. And yeah, in a porn game I'm wanting some porn, that's why I'm playing it. If I wanted to play a good shmup, I will not go to a porn game.
I'm not claiming that the game should have porn every 5 minutes. But the time you don't have porn should be made to build up somthing, to tease you, not to be bored by an average shoot.

As my PC is old, I can't really enjoy the sex scenes at their best. Besides there is no reason this game takes so much ressources. I can "understand" for the renders of the characters, but for shooting modes there is no excuse why my PC isn't running it at 60fps with how empty it is.

The story is... made by something who think people wants in a porn game dick-shaped space ships and every artefact must have dick in their name ?
Adding internet references doesn't make your game funny, except for the supporters who never touched a porn game in their life.
And ironically, the game takes itself too seriously to be truly enjoyable, you always has this feeling the game is proud of what it's delivering to you. Like his story and characters has outside of the humour some deep backstory.

The game is quite difficult. if it was just a normal game, why not, adding challenge is nice. But in a porn game having to try again and again isn't really what you want.

I've read in another review it's just a flash game in disguise, I totally agree. The people who made this just wanted to make a porn game to say to themself "In my life I was developper of a video game", not to make a good porn game.

And the cherry on the top, this game is at a 30$ price. This game will never be worth more than 10 $ when it will be completed, and as it stands now, it should be a free demo.

So, after playing this for 3 hours all I can say is if this is what they were able to make with over 2 millions bucks and a talented animators... then they should do everyone a favor (including themselves) and stay away from the gamedev.
Yes I know it's an early access but things like boring story, generic cartoonish girls with uninteresting personalities, grindy mobile game-tier gameplay, 15 sec looped sex scenes in which you can't even rotate camera (lol) that are disconected from the story and gameplay. It's not something that can be easily fixed or changed, we already have a general idea what this game will have to offer when (if) 1.0 drops.

To put it simply, this is very tame for Studio FOW. This might be because of Steam's rules against rape and similar content, but the result is the same.

The game looks great visually, but in terms of enjoyability, there are games on this site which are just plain more fun to play. This shouldn't have happened with professionals who had a very large budget to work with.

This is early-access though, so significant improvement could be seen in the future. But for now it's just surprisingly bland. I'm really surprised at how they ended up being behind the amateur western ero-game creators in terms of making a game which is fun. If it didn't have such great graphics, I don't even know if I'd recommend it at all.

I don't understand the point of a million dollar game, where they did not develop any technology to literally shit out every possible sex position with the characters but instead we re stuck with 1-2 felacio, 1 sex scene with a human and then we got 3 bestiality scenes for no fucking reason.

Also the game has no sense of real progress, everything is unfinished, not even half-backed additions to the game. Features are not even tapped, they are either holding back content to MILK even further people or they are incompetent enough to not have developed those features yet.

The writing is not that bad, it is actually progressing way faster than it should be in my opinion. Instead of US the players discovering what is each faction, we just get exposition diarrhea, with Demi being the Deus ex machina of knowing everything.

Again I do not understand, I can not fathom they fact that the H-scenes are so mediocre, with more than half of them being fucking tentacles and beastiality, or zombie men(?).

I wanted so much to like this game. And parts of it are actually good. But the good parts are too disconnected from each other, and the bad parts are too common.

The game feels fairly polished...about equivalent to a decent (non-hentai) indie game. However, even after a very long development period the amount of playable content is still very minimal. The space combat is really good...challenging but not punishing. The ground combat, on the other hand is terrible...when you win, it often feels like a foregone conclusion...when you lose, it often feels like you never had a chance.

The story just isn't interesting. I gave it a shot at first, but after half an hour or so, I was bored with it and just started skipping all of it. Worse still is the dialogue. Think Leisure Suit Larry, and all the obnoxious non-sexy sex jokes which are neither funny nor sexy.

But perhaps the biggest missed opportunity once again is that the sex and the gameplay are as disconnected from each other as usual. You play some game, and then you get some sexy time. It makes both feel tacked on.

That being said, its not like there is much competition in adult action games, and there is plenty of redeeming value here. Others will probably like this a lot more than I did.

Had tons of fun so far.

Actually really enjoy the ground combat scenarios, ladies are all fun as fuck and well voiced, story is the kind of parody sillyness I expected. Don't let the Early Access status fool you, there's a fair bit of stuff to do already, even if the cast currently available is limited.

The Pandora (sex scene simulator/scenario build room) is not the most organic way to stumble upon scenes certainly, but the content there so far is is good.

Big bonus for the, eh, 'inspired' by Mass Effect 2 scenario setup / feel, it lends itself well for an erotic game as well, gives a way to introduce new crew mates and display their personalities nicely in the 'Recruitment' missions.

I was torn on which rating this game should receive. As an overall product it probably should get at least 2 stars in it's current state. If the combat systems will be updated in the future, it might even be a decent game.

But let me get to the point, which most people already touched on. This is advertised and this should've been a biggest porn-game made. But it doesn't even come close to fullfilling that goal. All it has - some lewd dialog outside of sex-scenes, and a bunch of animations, that are not even tied to one another in any way. Only a couple of them have a "Cum" button, and 90% of them don't have even that amount of interactivity. And the animation quality in my opinion is actually a bit underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but i've seen much better quality from other creators.

As of 0.1 this game is a complete joke. It might change in the future, but i highly doubt that, since the core systems are already in place, and it is unlikely, that they will have time/funds to re-imagine their approach to the adult-content in the game.

Well. This is definitly game with porn, not a porn game. Amount of nonsexual cutscenes makes you think that you are watching a movie. Yeah, there are a LOT OF CUTSCENES. Plot has potential here no doubt. Sadly most important parts are lacking. Space combat is so boring due to lack variaty. You are equiped with special attack (1 of three) and dodge. There are a lot of missions which consist only on surviving few waves, same thing with ground combat but imao it is done better. There are more enemies with specials abilities, shields etc. You can choose 1 girl and 3 (currently out of 4) minions with their own abilities.
Most important porn. It seems MC is not going to be in center of attention. Scenes including MC are minority, currently Doc has 2 with him and rest are monsters. Those are pretty good but unfortunatly there is only 1 angle, most of them are loops and some are reused animations but with different waifus.
In summary. Was it worth to wait? Well, not really. Expectations were not met. Was it worth to spend money on it? No, I pity people who did. Was it worth to test it? Yeah, I had a decent fap.
