Unity - Succubus Battle [v0.18] [OSARUMODE]

The art is great and all but... JESUS CHRIST, I have never played a game with shittier controls in my life, everything you do is unbearably slow, walk is slow attacking is slow, your 4-hit combo is so slow the enemy can just walk it off after 2 hits, jumping is not only slow, but the jump is way too short, the doubel jump is really inconsistent, if you press the jump button at tthe highest point of your jump, like any oner game with double jump, you basicaly don't even go up, just maintain the height for a second longer, oh, and I should add the only way to avoid the special attack of the first girl is to jump, good luck with the timing tho, you'll need it with how slow the controls are, and let's get back to that, your wind up for the most basic attack, is longer than the enemy's wind up for the grab, you read that right, if you press attack and the girl decided to grab you after you started, too bad, you can't do anything, in fact most attacks for the girls come out instantly, making blocking in close quarters completely useless that's IF you manage to get cloe enough, because despite having a sword almost as long as his body the MC's range is so short you have to be making out with the girls to be able to hit them. And speaking of making out, I'm pretty sure the escape minigame is broken and eating my inputs, because sometimes it just acts like I'm no pressing anything even though I am mashing my keys, if you get grabbed with yellow health or lower, just do yourself a favor and reset the fight

[Reviewed Version: v0.17]
I'm amazed the dev has the courage to ask people to pay for this, quite frankly.
This is a fucking miserable experience.

• Your attacks are stupidly slow.
• Input buffering to a LUDICROUS degree.
• Most attacks have absolutely insane hitboxes.
• Stupidly floaty movement, feels like I'm barely in control of myself most of the time unless I wait a full second or so between actions.
• The sexual attack / struggling system as a whole is fucking stupid. Struggling drains your HP, and you can't struggle during knockdown. NONE OF THAT applies to the enemy. It doesn't matter whether they have HP or not, it doesn't matter whether they're in knockdown or not, they're always struggling against your grab. WHY. On that note: When the enemy grabs, it comes out stupidly fast and goes through block. When YOU grab, you have one/two seconds of windup that can be interrupted by basically anything, AND can be blocked too. WHY.
• The AI is remarkably accurate to a real person. As in it spams the worst, most cheesy moves possible, in an attempt to make you go insane. Either you don't let the enemy play the game, or your enemy won't let YOU play the game.
• The enemy is constantly regenerating health no matter what. You, on the other hand, don't regenerate at all until you're knocked down. Meaning it's a battle of attrition that you are CONSTANTLY on the losing side of.
• Poor translation, constantly mixing up pronouns (he, she, i, you, etc.) and characters. 99% certain it's an MTL.
• You struggling doesn't even fucking matter. If you go down and get grabbed, genuinely just Alt + F4 and restart the fight. It'll be quicker.

Not to mention the dev is apparently so incompetent they can't even make the volume sliders save after you close and re-open the game. Because that's SUCH a hard task to do.

And the Wizard. OHH, THE WIZARD. DON'T EVEN GET ME FUCKING STARTED ON THAT BITCH.
She wouldn't be anywhere near as bad if the arena wasn't so big. She wouldn't be anywhere near as bad if you could actually FUCKING REACH THE FIRST SET OF PLATFORMS CONSISTENTLY WITH YOUR DOUBLE JUMP.
But no. The platforms are juuust that tiny little bit too high. And of course, she has INFINITE FLIGHT CAPABILITIES SO SHE CAN JUST SAY "bye lol i'm on the complete opposite side of the arena now!". AND SHE CAN JUST SHIELD HERSELF FROM ALL DAMAGE WHENEVER THE FUCK SHE WANTS. BECAUSE WHY WOULDN'T SHE BE ABLE TO SHIELD HERSELF FROM ALL DAMAGE WHENEVER SHE WANTS. LIKE SHE WASN'T ANNOYING ENOUGH ALREADY.
Combine that with the finnicky as fuck controls and stupid as hell hitboxes, and you have the perfect recipe for a boss that genuinely deserves the death penalty. I wish there was a kill option in this game solely so I could fucking kill her. Just so I could watch her suffer. Right now, my best alternative is trapping her in a corner when she's knocked down and spamming attack on her. My highest hit count yet is around thirty, I think?
Her voice genuinely makes me angry. I had to turn off the voice volume in the options.

I fucking hate the Wizard. I want her dead. If anyone has art of her being killed, maimed, or otherwise tortured, send it to me. This is not a joke.

And yes, like I said in my post, I finished the game out of spite alone. Finished as much as there was to do, anyways. The final boss isn't even in the game yet.

It starts out a little slow, and the controls take some getting used to, and the animations are a little funky, but it's just kind of a fun game.

Something that I think a lot of games on this site lack is the ability to actually be enjoyable from a gameplay perspective. This game has nothing but straight 1v1 fights at different difficulties, and I enjoy them. I do think the game could have a bit more of a grounded and stable fighting system, but I learned to enjoy and embrace the clunkiness. I liked a lot of the H scenes too. I just thoroughly enjoyed my time with this one, and I look forward to the full release.

The game has promise there. The porn itself is of a decent quality, albeit the anatomy and the way everything is rendered is honestly pretty damned scuffed. As far as size of this project, while larger than allot of the dev's past works, small one-and-done games and porn animations without any gameplay to it, don't expect something huge.

The core problem is that the game feels like it could cause my computer to explode apart at any moment from just how absolutely fucking unstable the mechanics are.

Jumping requires you to mash in order to get on platforms because of how velocity works and good luck getting to attacking range depending on the angle you're approaching the bosses from, because the game will fight you to the death if you even think about trying it.

Then there's the movement, you regularly move like a snail, naturally making you just want to spam the dash mechanic to move around, but that leads to the physics shitting the bed. If you are in the air when using it you drop like a magnet is pulling you towards the ground and if you dash at a boss when they're at the corner, you'll catapult away, defeating the purpose of using it to get them as fast as possible.

Then there's the fact this is literally the only game I've seen where the grapple escape mechanics PUNISH you for mashing too fast and "too fast" for this game is pretty damn easy to hit, making it even more frustrating how much the bosses' grapples melts your health compared to how yours' and it's dogshit hitbox.

AND, just to add insult to injury when it comes to the spaghetti code the dev's too lazy to fix, the cursor will break 9 times out of 10, AND autosave kicks in EVERY time you enter the level select menu, meaning if you forgot to save and use a manual save, you've lost whatever progress that autosave could have salvaged.

Overall, another perfectly passable porn game ruined because the game part was a buggy mess.

har har harrr. bad reviews = git guud bruuh.

i rate 4 stars. in the beginning it was difficult. now is easy.

sex scenes:
good animation, u can fap to it, but in knocked down sex, voices when progressing into next piston animation kinda overlaps with the "bgm" voice.

also the "gallery" only shows knocked down sex, not the grappling, mid-combat sex.

I am now rating it 5 stars bcs the gallery now shows the caressing / combat grope XD.


my favorite scene's gotta be the grapple sex with the hunter. the way she embarrasedly try to push your head away as you lick her crotch, and the way her ass twitches as you put your fingers into her asshole. (lvl 3 maledom grapple)

as of version 0.16,

for each enemy, there is 2x grapple sex (femdom), 2x grapple sex (maledom), 2 knock down sex (femdom), 1 knock down sex (maledom).

gameplay:

- controls has bad keyboard configuration. need a little time to get used to it.

- the press v when sex button is the most frustrating, but i know now how to defeat this. just calmly press it with one finger from both hand simultaneously.

- all enemies are frustating (i got very angry till my face is red trying to defeat the lvl 3 mage) till u get to know the tricks. especially the archer and mage.

I had originally played this in Japanese, through an early build I managed to find... I still don't know how. It was a lot of digging through archives looking for some animations by this author (which I never found.)

This game is in a dire state. I got into fighting games a couple of years ago, so I know what to look for. Movement is laggy, inputs take forever to come out, the hitboxes make no sense, your hurtboxes feel like they have a 20% chance of avoiding damage, the one special move you have is weak and costs 5% of your 'actual life' to use, which means the Z button is there as a trap.

So the combat's no good. Are the sex scenes and mechanics enough to salvage this?
Short answer: No.
If you are still here, I imagine you want me to elaborate. I love the idea of a fighting game with lewd grapples, where there is a mechanical effect on the fight itself. If the enemy grapples you, mashing to escape costs health. Every 'stage' of the grapple you lose, the enemy speeds up: you must mash faster and lose more health. If they make you cum, you lose some amount of your 'actual life.'
If you grapple the enemy, say goodbye to your 'V' key, you are not winning the mashing minigame. Both you and your opponent will generate super bar, but they generate it faster. The enemy will recover life. So... it really is a move incredibly situational, and even in those situations you are better off just dealing damage.
At least I can say that the animations are decently drawn and well animated. They are a bit hit or miss for my taste, but that's subjective.

As I understand, this is this author's first foray into making an actual 'complex' game with many mechanics, progression, actual game feel and whatnot. I would say this is a decent proof of concept, but it offers little enjoyment as a game. Still, there is potential and I'll be looking forward to see how this develops or what they cook next.

pretty decent animations but the big ones are those weird gyroscope animations and they look a little iffy but still hot, i enjoy the game but from a gaming aspect the hit detection or hit boxes suck for example while your hitting the knight she can stil do her lust attack even if your doing damage to her and unless thats a dedicated feature its bad, also boxer level 3 spams that air kick over and over again making her very annoying to fight because youll mostly trade damage this game has great potential though
