Java Tales of Androgyny [v0.3.50.3] [Majalis]
After playing Adventure Mode for a long time, I decided to try Story Mode. Well, what can I say? In no way do I want to offend the authors, but the fact that they turned off the enemies' respawn on already completed locations is just idiocy. This is a porn game with a very overcomplicated and VERY incomprehensible combat system. In adventure mode, this could be bypassed by grinding, but in story mode, this cannot be done and a fun porn game turns into an idiotic Dark Souls' clone where you need to know everything in advance and plan your build in advance. The main problem here is that, there is no clear explanation of how the combat system works ANYWHERE. And the description of spells is generally confusing. Here is an example:Invisibility spell does not work against enemies with "true sight" - but what are these enemies? Where can I see in their description about "true sight"? As a result, I wasted precious perk points, my build does not work (although, based on the spell description, it should work) and should I start all over again? Sorry, but this is idiocy. I hope the authors don't get offended by an honest review of their story mode.

Dark Souls must have added some weird stuff in patches without me noticing if ToA is a Dark Souls clone.

I see you played Karryn's Prison on your signature , that may be the issue, that game has a polished combat system that uses sex scene combat as well but they visualized as much as possible creatively and made everything connected to the game and easy to re visit. So the combat turns out to be a fun sex system thats really replayable, Androgyny instead abandoned the combat as a sex system and fun dynamic and focused on honestly just adding more scenes as often as possible. Over time I think New Scenarios and Story content became a powerful income source , and completing the main gameplay loop like combat visuals and cohesion was thrown aside, there's so many little minor positions like handlebars, deepthroats, spanking etc that have no visuals or flash cards like Karryn, also this game has so many options that it must of gotten hard to manage , even overwhelming, so making scenes although also hard, is likely more attractive a choice because it allows idea expression from the artists, as a developer its probably easier to see the world and scenes desired to make rather than play the main loop raw like a new player and understand what its like for someone just getting into it all. Even the veteran players edit files to get by half the time and just accept the new scene releases. This isn't the same kind of game direction as something like Karryn , If that game had futa/femboy content it would be a strong competitor.
I adore the the Androgyny world but I do realize its all about new scenes releases now..think of it more like other visual novel games with a strong focus on Futa/Fem content and beautiful art and music..and amazing writing... the combat..well....we just don't talk about the combat lol. Those new scenes are crazy hot tho, just look at those =P.

I perfectly understand your sarcasm, gentleman of high culture. But I think you got the point of my post perfectly, if all you could complain about is just comparing DS and ToA.
Not quite so. In Karryn's Prison, the whole gameplay is not so polished. But on the other hand, it is simple and clear, which is the main criterion for casual games (and all porn games MUST be casual in terms of gameplay). As I already pointed out in my post, the authors of the game just needed to leave the mechanics of enemy respawn - and everything would be fine.

Why not just have some niché where it doesn't have to be that way?
I understand that it might turn off people from the game, but there are people that would want to have a porn game that's hard, complicated or both?
Of course, tastes differ, but most people play porn games for the sake of having a good time (if you know what I mean
). For such games, complex combat or role-playing systems only spoil everything.ToA's system is not complex. You basically use three stances, and you can have the same style of gameplay on every class besides the Mage. So it's a pretty flexible forgiving system. It could be worked on from some points, yes, especially on magic becoming usable (it was actually nerfed instead with Paralyze and elemental damage losing potential to be good). But its main problem is just a chaotic presentation of its concept.Of course, tastes differ, but most people play porn games for the sake of having a good time (if you know what I mean
You can always turn on the cheat mode when playing Story Mode. You won't be able to get a Game Over then. And you won't miss almost any content. Most of action happens after defeat, the enemy that you need to defeat to have more fun is probably a Brigans in the mountains.
Will that make you happy and your game casual and relaxing? Please, do it.
I repeat, tastes differ, but as for me, if you have to turn on the cheat system in order to get good emotions from the game, then something is seriously wrong with the game.
I disagree, the cheat system is basically a difficulty setting. Wanna have fun exploring the combat system with different enemies? Then don't use cheats. Wanna breeze through it mindlessly like you are asking for? Then turn on cheats, you can even edit your save to give yourself the stats you want, and there's even some cheese strats like oil + flame spells that people use. Seems weird for you complain about the difficulty when there's ways around that and then say that said ways are also wrong with the game.
Lmfao you said porn game should be easy. I tell you to turn off Game Overs (nothing else would happen), and you say “no that's not how it should work”. You, guys, really should decide on do you wanna play games like games, with challenge, or relax and read your eroge with pictures.
K, I got you. You like the game and don't give a shit about it's problems/ Well, good for you. Wish you and devs all the best!

TL-DR - Karryns Focus is Lust during everything but not Futa/FemB content.. Androgyny Current gameplay is all about waiting for content releases, and ignoring the advanced combat system to repeat combat or dialog decisions to get good quality victory or defeat scenes, then restarting and re-fighting and re-selecting dialog options to see the scenes you like again, or using cheat menus, then waiting for updates and repeat, thats why most questions here are how to unlock X scene... Its what community has grown with, many don't seem to wan't to change that. A shift of focus has to be desired in order to happen. R.I.P. Sexy Futa Combat Dynamic Gameplay, was just too ambitious.

You know that futanari and transgender are two different things, right? They were incorrectly merged on this site as a tag which will be remedied under the new tag system to be announced .. soon. If you do not, you should probably take a step back and do some learnin'.
Anyway:
No to the futanari MC.
Yes to the gay.
I should have done the same.
