Others - Completed - The Agnietta ~Healer and the Cursed Dungeon~ [v1.05] [B-flat]

+
objectively the best artwork you will find in an h-game.
many hours of gameplay.
lots of fetishes to explore.
decent sprites.

not much story.
it is EXTREMELY hard to play this game with one hand. you will need to utilize the entire right side of a full keyboard.
UI is annoying to navigate including a confusing button config panel.
many bugs especially in the final quarter of the game. very easy to get softlocked and game is prone to freezing.
viewing scenes from the main menu gallery seems to have altered the quest progress of a quest i already finished.
game is fairly easy and losing some battles makes the game permanently easier unfortunately.
losing to some bosses automatically defeats them with no ability to retry the fight.

Poor gameplay design.

The gameplay design is amateurish. The UI/Ux design is poor. But programming foundation is good. The art is good.

Overall, the core gameplay loop is more annoying than fun. The story scenario is uninspired.

The H-scenes, as far as I can tell, are fully gated by defeats with random enemies. It's not one of those games where victory and defeats hang on a thread and so you can inadvertently adventure into defeat scenes. (Such games are rare anyhow cuz scenes are expensive.) It's also not one of those games where the game mechanics are genuinely interesting or challenging. And then you are prompted to save before exploring defeat scene branching. No. The defeats are with random map enemies, which is without context. Dramatic pacing? What otherworldy concept is that?! What do you mean by drama in dramatic pacing? The scene's gating in Agnietta is just annoying.

You do need to love monster H-scenes to go through this game. Otherwise, while it doesn't hurt to give it a try, you will likely get bored very quickly.

I hope the devs gain more experience and get better with game design in the future while getting paid enough to support themselves in the meantime. The art and their willingness to make custom program for their game can be foundation for future hits. As for The Agnietta, it's skippable.

Oh, I forgot the review this mess after playing it? Well then, let me tell you. The majority of h-scenes are either well-made 2D CG images, or low quality animations you won't like. The combat is kind of interesting, but the stamina bar and the mana bar make it far more annoying than it should be. The level design is ughhhhh, so fucking annoying, you have no idea. And the main complaint here are crashes. loads and loads of crashes.

Definitely skip this one, there's far better simmilar games on f95.

Very cool gameplay, great combination of sex and gameplay, nice art and sounds! In fact, although you want even more from this game, it gives a great combination of sex and gameplay. Maybe not a benchmark, but an incredibly high level.

This is a decent game. The art is pretty good. The porn scenes are drawn well. The gameplay is okay. It's essentially a metroidvania, but not as fun as the classic metroidvanias. But that's not why you play The Agnietta. You play it for the porn. So how's the porn? Well, it's okay I guess. I suppose a lot of the appeal is the monsters screwing the 'pure' priestess? I didn't find most of it that hot. Sure, sometimes tentacle stuff can be hot, or some big burly monster screwing a girl. The whole maggot/facehugger stuff has never been my thing though. Those monsters are more body-horror than anything else. And the corruption aspect feels a bit inconsistent due to how you get scenes. Losing to a monster -type the first time has the girl be quite reluctant. But by the second time she's already really into it. It's quite abrupt.
Now, don't get me started on the boss battles. Screw them. What a waste of time. Especially the stone dude. All the mobs that spawn, especially the pink facehuggers that stun you, are so annoying. Not to mention I got frequent crashes during that boss battle. Nearly unplayable at that point.

If the interface had a few user friendly additions I'd consider this one of the best games of its type. I feel it needs a better map and maybe some quest markers since I got pretty lost on a few occasions. The game also crashed several times but I got used to saving frequently so it wasn't too bad of an issue.

The artwork is very nice, although I do wish the sex scenes had some animations. The sound is well done too, but it would have been awesome if the heroine spoke her dialog. Her moans and sex sounds were very erotic.

It is fairly balanced so you can play her as a sex crazy demon lover or as a relatively pure holy demon purifier. I played through 3 times...once trying for max deviancy, once just playing through without trying for deviancy or purity, and once trying for a pure, noble ending. I fun with each, but I will say there is a ton more content for the sexual route (who would have guessed?).

Another entry thrown into the DNF pile.

Story 2/10

To be fair, I DNF the game so maybe the story gets good. But from what I saw, you're a healer of some kind and you want to heal the evil in this building? tower? thing. And that's the story. The tower has a tower spirit who seems malevolent but I didn't get far enough to see what's up.

Gameplay 3/10

A hack and slash in RPM or equivalent. The combat is mediocre. It's not hard just tedious since there's not a lot of enemy types. I played like 3 hours and encountered about 6 enemy types.

The maps are confusing and unnecessarily large. There's keys and switches and you need to run around hit those in the correct order in order to proceed. Very boring especially since monsters respawn as soon as you run off screen. So tons of refighting enemies just because you're lost.

And yeah, I'll call it out. The game is buggy (aside from the bug content). I've soft locked once so I had to close the program and reload a save. Other times I needed to "fix" my state by losing or equipping some item that would fix the game state. Just kind of the cherry on top of an unpleasant gaming experience.

Art 7/10

I'm not really into bugs and tentacles and scorpions. But the art's still nice, it's what drew me in.

The flavor text is... not great. It's just kind of there. You can get full corrupted and if you encounter a new enemy type it'll be "Oh please don't do that! I'm too pure!" because the game's just kind of not well developed.

Overall 4/10

I had a pretty bad time playing this game. Let alone the fact that it's a 2 handed game. The h-content is spaced out poorly and the game is grindy and confusing.

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure? On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee

Outside of some bugs, really good game. Great focus on the niche it's going for and good art, and pretty interesting scenarios and setup. Mid combat interactions are present too, so it's not just CGs based matter.

The game is quite good but I don’t think I cns play it.

It really is impressive what they were able to do here. Pretty model. Nice animations. Decent snlitj of depths to the systems. Cool features like the alternate views. Quality and they deserve that patreon money.

The core gameplay loop is way too slow and tedious for me. If I’m going to be playing a “standard” dungeon game liek this, I need more story breaks and…well basically I need it to be an rpg with more bells/whistles/flash and polish.

But that’s a me thing. Re emphasize that it’s a good game and especially a good porn game.

Basically the best game I have played from this site. I did not encounter any bugs (except the sexy kind), I found the combat enjoyable, and a virgin run was realistic with minimal save scumming. The game gives you the tools to avoid instant virginity loss traps/situations, but you do sometimes have to go out of your way to activate these tools and use your head to avoid some situations.

4/5 Great Game!
Lots of monsters, fetishes and tentacles, if you;re into that, good for you!

Gameplay-
☑ Great
Pretty simple game, easy to understand, and you can easily go from one point to another through checkpoints.
Nothing complex about the combat, you've got HP and mana to use special abilities.

Graphics-
☑ (s)Excellent
Lots of high quality art and animations, in game, and as game over scenes.

Audio
☑ Great
Pretty good voice for the MC!
If you get immersed in the game, you can have a great time.
The sfx are ok too, but beware that if you play for too long, they can get a little repetitive.

Difficulty-
☑ Dynamic
The game can be harder or easier the more pure/corrupt you are, so have that in mind.

Grind-
☑ A bit grindy
If you want to get certain stats, scenes or endings, you've gotta repeat some events a few times.

Price
☑ Worth the price, support the creator!
This game is really good, with lots of content to offer, but the dev has had some trouble with patreon, so if you can, try to support him, or buy the game through some of his stores!

Bugs:
☑ Some bugs
You can see some bugs on this forum, and i've encountered some too, so make sure to copy your saves every now and then just in case.

The best adult RPG game i've ever played with perfectly beautiful and detailed CG and avatar pose and also this game have very unique enemies like the fascinus, the hugger and the goatman and the game story was really cool and enjoyable with a lot of skills too. well rate from me from 1 to 10 i will give it a 10000/10

Complete gem of a game. The gameplay and CG's were both great, and the story wasn't half bad either (only so much they can do with the game's shorter length). Impregnation mechanics are top-tier as well.

Definitely give it a try if you like the tags.

very good, a little difficult, long but fun game. it can be a little frustrating here and there, but very sexy. if you like tentacles, then this game is definitely for you. It can be hard to figure out how to play as well, look at the controls and be a little patient, it pays off

Just finished the game.

This goes in one of those shelves of damn good H-games with a decent story. The artwork's great and the gameplay's fun. The H-scenes never overstayed their welcome either. A lot of other H-games go overboard on every detail or rehash the same lines to make the scene last longer. Not here, it's enough to be enticing and entertaining.

The only critique I have is that the scenes don't seem to remember you lost your virginity. A lot is just under the assumption you're trying to do a pure virgin run of the game. Not enough to knock a star off but it was something that I noticed.

9.5/10: Will be buying it on steam to support them.

really great game, been playing non stop for 1 hour, i enjoy the fact that even if you *lose* it's not a game over and you can just go back again to where you were, i feel like more games should do this, can't wait to finish the game.

Absolutely incredible game. The amount of animations and scenes is relatively modest, although they are very well-done, but everything is put together really well. The girl is extra-cute and innocent, which only makes the situations she gets in more sexy. And let me tell you, it gets from bad to worse for the poor maiden.
The dialogue is actually well-written too, which is surprising. Gameplay is decent, it's designed to trap you if you're not paying attention, but not particularly difficult otherwise.

The only defect I find besides the somewhat low number of enemies/scenes is that I prefer the dialogue when she hasn't turned into a complete cum-loving slut, but for that you pretty much have to reload after watching every scene where she gets fucked. Some early in-game way of resetting that would've been nice.

The game is pretty good but is also very flawed, it's a decent first H game of the developer but other H games beat this game when it comes to either story, combat, or H content/presentation. Don't let my 3/5 score fool you though, this game is not bad by any means, it's just mediocre/above average when it comes to H game quality.

First let's talk about the story. Story is 3/5 serviceable, coherent enough, and not that generic/unique. It's about a pure woman who goes to purify a dungeon full of lustful (90% of them are tentacles) creatures. The game has multiple endings (several bad ends, and a good true ending). Keep in mind that currently the true ending can be missed by failing to collect several skippable/missable items. Forcing you to either replay the game from the start in order to get the true ending (this game is not fun enough to replay it) or load a save downloaded online to see the true ending. Game length is pretty decent/GREAT it took me about 3-4 hours in order to get the true ending and I've explored everything, every nook and cranny but I did not engage with the H elements much since I was playing a pure run (it is possible in this game but certain H scenes are unskippable). The protagonist is alright, a Clutz female cleric/healer that has a catchphrase "Yeeks".

Next is combat/gameplay I'd rate it about 2/5. It's not the worst combat system nor is it an extremely bad/tedious one but the combat system in this game is pretty bad/mediocre. You basically can easily defeat the enemies with spamming skills and you almost have unlimited resources to outlive the enemy in the fight (mana restore, healing, etc). The worst aspect of the combat system in this game is when you get crowded by a horde of enemies (sure you have aoe spells but getting crowded is still a quick way of getting fcked/dying) as you will melt/get downed quickly unless you burst them down. Getting surrounded by a horde of enemies rarely happens though. The game can be a bit buggy (although the dev is very active in fixing bugs found) here and there with things that are just minor inconveniences but there are currently no game breaking bugs (not that I've found) in the latest version.

Art/H content is about 4/5. I personally outlived my love for tentacles (so the H-scenes were not that good for me) as this game has 90-95% of it's H content being tentacles or insects. So if that's your kink then you might enjoy this game. The art is also pretty nice, but can be jarring as the art (art style of the artist) can be reminiscent to the usual presentation of AI art these days but keep in mind that this game was developed before the AI-art shit got popular, so 99% this is not AI ART (but the art style is closely similar to them).

The developer is also extremely passionate about his game (B-flat) and he even posted this game here (might be misremembering) when it was still in its alpha state (game development is still not finished). So support the dev on steam if you are a tentacle lover in order to get more tentacle games with proper English translations. I'd recommend this game only if you like TENTACLES since 90-95% of the H content in this game are tentacles, otherwise the game is decent enough to play if you got no H games to play.
