Unity - The Demon Lord's Lover [v0.7.29] [ayumu98]

Gameplay is fun, classic dungeon explorer stuff. Graphics are good, everything seems like it belongs. Main character is nice. It's a hentai game with actual gameplay and likeable characters. Worth a try if you like dungeon explorers

Rev @ The Demon Lord's Lover [v0.7.29]

is nice~

Like the art.

The writing is thin but fine, the characterization leans a bit emo for my personal tastes.

Gameplay is more 'an RPG with porny bits' than 'a porny RPG'. Fine if you prefer that, but I'm an eternal prisoner in horny jail so I'd prefer more lewds.

Not really a fan of the sex noise SFX, but I never am. Tends to come across as hokey, like the audio equivalent of '90s flashing text.

TLDR: Good times.

The pixelart is georgeous. The UI look very good. But my god the beginning of the story disgusted me. Can you please make it a little more believable that someone just woke up on another world. Or just Retcon the story so it look like its an average day for an habitant of that villlage already. The gameplay is a little fun but kinda grindy and not worth in the balance with the stroy-telling.

Gameplay is straightforward and allows for a variety of builds. The difficulty is also very forgiving and the dev includes a built-in guide for collecting H-scenes.

Each H-able character, 6 so far, has a unique personality and each of their stories are thought out with multiple scenes with well written dialogue.

The pixel art is phenomenal and I can tell this will be a great game, even at the very early stage build I played (V0.6.17).

v0.6.17
The pixel art animations for each character is extremely high quality, however that's the only thing good about this game.

The actual "gameplay" is still extremely unpolished and unbalanced in this current version. The UI is clunky garbage, going through the dungeon is a chore, and the item variety is so limited that strategy doesn't matter.

I'd recommend just getting a save with gallery unlocked, but if you want to waste your time doing it legit all you need is platemail, 2 force rings, and a lifesteal spin attack weapon. Then just buy level up scrolls at the store to become unkillable and turn the dungeon into a joke.

Hey!

I just finished the game and had a great time with it.
The dungeon was kind of nuts at the start, super hard, but once I leveled up and got the hang of it, things got way easier (as it’s supposed to be).
I really dig the pixel art style, and your animation is awesome—seriously, great work! I was thinking, though, adding more sound effects during background stuff and maybe some character voices would make it even better. But honestly, it's already such a solid game.
Thanks a ton for making and sharing this with us!

Cheers,
Ayumu98

there is a though that dev can add on this game

even though you can clear this game after 1 hr
it fun plus the pixel art look so goddamn good
hopefully there are more h scene
7/10

Played the [0.6.6]
Amazing game, truly a pleasure to see something with high effort. The gameplay is quite simple but engaging, the game is not that much balance yet but you can see where the dev going with diversity in mechanic or gameplay. People seems to play a sword spam whirlwind, but i'm really enjoying a big armor big hammer oneshooting one by one the ennemy style.
Simple but nice writing, the character are charming and have a nice simple story
The game is not perfect yet and some of the thing need to be improve but the dev look already working on it (To name a few, the usual scene reviewer, bit more sound design, keybing on some tome and item could be good, easier way to go diagonal)

I wanted to put 4star because the game is still in dev and lack polish there and there, but compared to all the usual bad game we have, this one is really good.

The Demon Lord's Lover manages a lot of balancing acts just right. It's easy for an H-game with dungeon combat to focus so much on the combat that it forgets it's supposed to be porn. Combat here is simple, but it isn't shallow. Combat mostly consists of walking toward enemies to attack them, but you need to be strategic to get through the dungeon. The game gives you potions and spells and expects you to use them. I recommend trying to get healing and teleport spells for survivability. (It isn't immediately obvious that spells are infinitely rechargeable, but they are.)

The writing is surprisingly good too. It gives you just enough for scenes to feel a little more grounded (I particularly liked Paila's arc for this), but it doesn't forget it's a porn game either (Nanako, lol). You don't have to bust your ass hunting down scenes either. Most of the available girls will fuck you soon after you meet them, the trick is getting through the dungeon in the first place.

It's not a perfect game. There badly needs to be a way to hotkey spells, and the town is almost hilariously small. But it gets to the point quickly, and has enough to it that it definitely feels worth the 2-3 hours I put into it.
