Played about 2 hours or so, and it was pretty fun.

The quality is pretty top-notch, great looking models (especially DEMI), I respect the fact that they're 100% taking the piss with the writing approach - some legit funny bits here and there. I also like where they're going with the story, and the cast of characters are pretty solid so far. The voice acting is also FUCKING STELLAR - definitely one of the highlights of the game so far.

If anything, Subverse is leagues ahead of any other basic bitch 3DCG v0.1 project that I end up seeing here on the daily.

That being said, I do echo a few of the other complaints I've seen on here and Steam - the approach taken with the sex scenes (short loops, different positions) is pretty lackluster, being a $30 Early Access single-player game is a very hard sell (weird when they said they wouldn't do it), and shit can definitely get old quickly with the writing.

Personal gripes are mostly the accessibility. You might think "haha, accessibility in a porn game" but the only accessibility bit they address is colorblindness and that's it. The text is fucking tiny and there's absolutely no font resizing options that I've seen, there's no subtitles for the cinematic portions, and the UI can be criminally small. I don't know if I missed an option or something in the settings, but they should address that as soon as possible. Or maybe I should invest in some glasses.

At least the resolution options and framerate are solid. TotalBiscuit would be proud, rest his soul.

Design-wise, I dig the SHMUP and turn-based strategy gameplay segments. Breaks up the pace and has a truly game-y feel. I was a bit weirded out by it in the trailer since I was expecting a different approach, but we all can't be CDPR.

A few gripes, though:

[SHMUP]
- bullet-sponge bosses (the Tibold fight was a slog, don't you fucking lie to me)
- lack of weapon diversity (standard shot and a missile, hoo-fuckin-rah)
- lack of visual clarity (aka, getting lost in the backgrounds because of how fucking tiny the ship is in contrast to how dynamic the background is)

[XXX-COM]
- UI scaling (tying back to accessibility)
- better contrast between allies and enemies (again, lack of visual clarity)

If anything, what this demonstrates is potential. If they're gonna be in Early Access for the next year, they better be getting content out there in a timely manner and doing their best to continually improve the game.

They're a lock for my 30 quid if they build on the impressions from this release.

I'm willing to pay, but I need to see much more.

Also you gotta take things you read here with a grain of salt. Dudes on here are quite horny. Horniness tends to make people a little unreasonable. Some things you've just got to try yourself.

Damn replied to the wrong guy. Works just as well though.

I dont think so, I've seen a couple of threads on steam about people asking for the "ntr" and such and they are very displeased with that and also they are complaining on how short it is (I haven't played it yet because I got an error and I couldn't play) but I dare to put my hand on the fire and say that this game will get lost in the wind and get the orange tag that we all love so much.
Yeah well NTR fags not getting their fix only makes the world a better place .

Do I need a great pc to run this?
I can run it at 60 FPS on High quality, but the frame rate drops quite a bit on heavy fights, especially at Indomitus. [8GB RAM with 4GB GTX950M and i7-4720HQ @2.6GHz]

Just a heads up, though: The cinematics are prone to stuttering.

I dont think that the "NTR" is the problem here for those who like it they are welcome but most of the players are not into it, I think game should have an on/off for the kinks but that is just me, the main problem people seems to have is how short it seems to be

I don't mind twin stick shooters, but the actual strategy/unit combat is tedious as hell.

The #1 complaint I've found on the Steam Review page and Forums. People are expecting a bit much from a team of animators trying to break even with a game. I do however agree that it would be a welcome to have a kink switch in the game.

It is not that good of a porn game~~ more of a game with porn stash in it... all scenes are pre-recorded CGI, though 6 of them were disguised to be seem as interactive, with a speed bar, but there is not even an option to change camera angles. it is overall a disappointment.

and for those who are looking for NTR; at this point, no NTR story, however, there are scenes involve girls got animal or xenos dicks, but there are no context to them, and to be honest, only one of those scenes with that robot girl can be considered as NTR for the girl is 100% belongs to MC, the other two girls are more like fuckbuddies if anything.

Wow saw this on steam upcoming ages ago, it looked like star control crossed with mass effect and porn thought how could that be bad?
The sex scenes are pretty nice, the dialogue is funny.
Combat wise the space combat is basic but fun enough the ground combat fucking sucks tho and I love xcom combat.
You get put in a tiny map with no cover mechanic and your units outside of moving and defending get a single attack ability.

I get that this is a 0.1 release but in short if you want porn there are better games and if you want xcom combat there are wayyyyy better games.

So its like ciberpook99.
A lot of noise, a lot of ambition, a lot of hype - and huge disappointment after release.
