Unity - Completed - The Giant's Treasure [Final] [Monster-ken]

Grindy, unrewarding.

Arts are beautiful.
Gameplay exists (run around, kill giants).
You can sex play with all the different girls (in the examination machine which is visible in the screenshots).
Mechanically game is well developled.

Gameplay is very repetitive and boring.
It is full of grind.
Not much changes after the first mission, you just unlock new girls and sex toys by grinding, that's it.
H-content is not nearly worth the grind.

Classic grind gaming - 3/10.
Well made, nice arts, yet pathetic grind-focused, unrewarding game design.

(Game is in 'Final' version during this review)

Daaamn, I played the game, and is veeeeery grindy, the progress is very slow, the maps get bigger and bigger and it has very slow level up animations (like leveling up the turrets for example), idk if the grind is worth it tbh.
I speed up the things with CE but even with that the progress is still slow. Maybe if someone is able to cheat it to be able to get materials or to reveal the maps so you are able to know where are the stuff you need, then maybe i'll try it again.
In 6 hours I was only able to see like 2 or 3 different sex animations, and it's the same animations for all the girls and the female body is a default one for all the girls too.

After playing quite some time, I must say the game is really underwhelming. In the translation thread, other users have warned about the grind, but knowing how often people exaggerate about it, I still decided to give this game a chance. Especially since I have a certain tolerance for grind. But even I eventually gave up and decided to download the full save, only to be sorely disappointed. The grind is insane and the main problem - it's not rewarding. All sex scenes happen in the lab, where you level up the girls. The amount of actions is very limited and rather boring in my opinion, it's mostly machines touching or teasing girl's sensitive areas. The girls in these scenes appear in 3D and they mostly look the same. After you get pink bar maxed, ugly bastard can fuck them. Most of the sex scenes are identical and of top of that you don't even see their faces, instead you will enjoy the view of the ugly bastard's fat ass

In conclusion, the gameplay might be interesting at first, but presented mechanics eventually get boring. Grind is not rewarding, variation in sex is very lacking, appearance of characters and sex scenes similar to each other. I genuinely regret that I spent so many hours on this game, thinking that the devs will reward the player for their hard work - they won't.

A disappointing entry from a promising ero gameplay dev.

I enjoyed previous Monster-ken titles but this one was pretty disappointing. Material collection is very grindy (needing to sweep through buildings to destroy them and collect metals is especially asinine). The game is story-lite, the ero is generic, and what was supposed to be the highlight--the gameplay--just ends up being a dull grindfest. Play their previous titles The Demon Lord's Treasure and The Coward's Treasure instead.

The Giant's Treasure is a porn game that is neither good at being a game, nor good at being porn. The reason I give 2 stars instead of 1, is that there is a lot of good work put into this, if the game itself is boring. The artwork is fairly decent and the standing images that are animated are nice to look at.

To say this is a slow rolling game is an understatement. The gameplay loop consists of two main parts. The first is a pseudo tower defense portion that require you to spend resources to build artillery to defend one of the last functional bases in Japan. The second part is a psuedo Survivors style component where you'll be spending most of the game playing. You build a team of magical girls to scout various locations, defeating enemies for dark essence, breaking building for resources, and reaching a designated mark to gain a companion or blueprint.

This all sounds compelling at first, but after the first area or so, you quickly realize that this game will force you to repeatedly grind an area to dust just to make the tower defense portion manageable. Every improvement to your base or magical girls requires either lots of metals, or special gem drops from certain enemies respectively. The number and types you have to find scale so fast that you will spend hours repeating areas and hoping that a particular monster drop the one gem you need to promote a magical girl. You will spend hours running into enemies as your main way to damage them, with only about 5 abilities to choose from in a team of 5. The abilities are set, and only a few are worth using. These abilities only improve with the promotion level of the magical girl.

This game gets grinding wrong by strictly pumping up the numbers and giving you nothing back for it. To upgrade your magical girls, you play a sort-of mini-game where you tease the girl with various toys in an attempt to make them so horny they fall for the dirty old scientist's dick. I haven't experienced a loop so one-dimensional that I was hoping to skip the smut. This is the only portion with porn mind you. Like the rest of the game, you get nothing for experimenting, and instead are expected to do the same things over and over again. The girls don't have any truly unique lines or thoughts. Every "broken" scene is generic to the point the girl's face doesn't even show, and simply uses the same body. The animations for the toys elicit the same reaction no matter the girl. And this is all you have to look forward to after the bland gameplay of simply running into enemies in the same looking field over and over.

Everything about the construction of the game screams padding. The grind exists as an artificial wall to shield the fact that there's not a whole lot of reason to play this game. The tower defense and survivors style mechanics are shadows of the real thing, abstracted in a way that utilizes the worst parts about them. The porn is canned and uninteresting with no real payoff. There is no fun to be had here, which is a shame because there is something here, it just feels like nothing, and that is one of the worst offenses a game could do.

Game contains viruses that could be easily removed with different auto-translate method, game itself is not that great, just grind with several sexy scenes, not worth spending much than 10 minutes on it.

Spent hours getting to what I assume is near the end, only for it to crash and then black screen each time I try re-open it.

It's a very, very slow game and you're basically stuck watching (or skipping really) the same few "teasing" animations over and over. The actual gameplay is pretty fun, but it's really one of those games where the Dev was so focussed on making a half-decent game, he forgot to make a half-decent *porn* game.

The sex scenes are the same girl's model for each scene, so to hide that most of it is taken up by the fat guy's bloated body, hiding all but her legs and waist from view.

It's not bad, it truly could be great but I wouldn't recommend it. If you do play it, throw it on easy and use Cheat Engine to get through it.

The absolute worst is the Base defense missions, if there's a way to speed them up I don't know it, which means you're just sitting there AFK with all the monsters instantly dying as soon as they touch any of your girls, for 10+ minutes. It's amazing that the Dev thought that would be compelling gameplay, that someone would really want to play a tower defense for 15minutes at endgame, it's tedious, it's boring and if you can skip it or force the waves to rush you, then someone please tell me because goddamn, it's horrible.

Primitive, extremely unpleasant controls and interface, a lot of grind, for the sake of a couple of scenes.
Vile in the face and in the soul doctor protogonist.
And worst of all, almost until the very end, you expect that there will be something more that you have already seen, 10 gigs is quite a lot of content, but it is not here.

A review of what to expect for gameplay.
Vampire survivor esk gameplay, except no gacha skills / items.
Predetermined skills.
Touch enemies within a certain range of your character to do damage.

Grindy gameplay that would probably take hours to fully level a base and characters. Grinding is expected to deal with difficult levels.

H gameplay.
As far as I am aware, its just watch an animation from a sex machine that is just a loop. No pre play, fast, slow, climax or afterglow. And it's the same H loops for all characters.
If you expect active H gameplay, you won't find it here.
There are various types of character bodies from big to flat. Some character body type H content may be the same to a few others.
Also ugly bastard.

Terrible waste of time of a game, whether you want the gameplay or the porn, it has ZERO respect for your precious time. I have seen few games that makes it as tedious and complicated to get to the freaking H-content as this game does. There's not even a gallery room so you can't even just download a full save.
