RPGM - TUNNEL ESCAPE Fates Entwined [v0.3.2a] [Elzee]

More of the same but different story and new enemies. But that's good because the first one was really good and this is shaping up to be just as good. It's great that this is being made as i found the first one to be one of the best games of 2024

(Review as of v0.3.1a)

TUNNEL ESCAPE Fates Entwined is a "dungeon crawler" style game with turn-based elements where players battle enemies with a standard RPGM style combat.

Gameplay plays exactly as the previous version, where players control Olivenia, a police officer tasked with escorting a private investigator out of the city guided by her (love interest?) Noah.
Like the previous entry, players navigate a randomly generated dungeon, fighting enemies and encountering random events such as exploring abandoned warehouses or groups of monsters. When players encounter monsters, they are put into a turn based style of battle where whoever fills the action bar first gets to take actions first. Actions are pretty similar to generic RPGM style games, so if you've played those this should be familiar.

H Scenes within the game are primarily battle fuck as of this version, identical to the Elzee's previous entry, just with different monsters. Fully animated, like the previous game though it does retain the stiff animation from the first game.
The addition of a secondary character (Noah) is where this game deviates from the first and judging by the option to enable the NTR dialogue, one would expect there to be H-scenes outside of combat either involving Olivenia fucking her love interest or cucking him. Either way, as of this version there isn't any scenes yet, which is disappointing but hopefully Elzee does intend to add some as it currently just feels like a waste of the secondary character.

If you played and enjoy Elzee's previous TUNNEL ESCAPE this is (again as of this version) fundamentally the same thing. That being said, this game is very early in development, with only the first stage being playable.

I seriously do hope that Elzee adds content to differentiate this from it's predecessor, because as of now it is quite literally the exact same game.
Can't rate any lower than 4 stars as I still enjoy this style of game, but currently refrain from a full score as it doesn't improve much from the first game. Still recommend giving the game a try as it doesn't waste your time at least.

Will watch it's development closely.

It's fine, I guess...

I'm no game developer or anything, but I assume that you are meant to improve and expand upon the gameplay of the previous game that you make. You know to like to keep it interesting to returning players. This is identical to the previous tunnel escape, but the girl that's having sex with all the zombies is a different girl this time.

So err 3/5. Still fun but disappointing.

I have nothing against this game.

It's just the same plain old thing as the prequel. The UI, events, guns, items... Literally everything except story (which is mediocre from what we have now), characters (that have the same archetypes as your typical NTR game. i.e. very forgetful) and places is the same. The action takes place at the same time as the prequel and the devs are clearly hinting that meeting with the protagonist of the "prequel" is going to happened sooner or later. I'd barely classify it as a DLC if it were up to me.

If you liked H-scenes of the previous title then sure, give it a shot. Outside of that it has nothing more to offer.
