I'm still not done with this game (just finished floor 2, I have like ~12h of playtime) but I can already give it 5 stars.
This is the best H-game I played in a loooooong while.
A lot of care was put in this game, there's plenty of content, and a lot of freedom.
I usually don't really care about the dungeon-exploration part in those type of RPG-M games, but in this one it's really fun. You have multiple paths, everything is interconnected, it feels like Dark Souls and the exploration is realy fun.
The athmosphere is phenomenal, the corruption aspect is really good even tho I didn't fully corrupt the protagonist yet so I can't speak for the late game.
The only thing you should keep in mind is that this game doesn't hold your hand, you may be lost sometimes but that's okay, just explore new paths, this is part of the fun.
Everyone should play this game! I don't understand why the average rating is only 4 stars, this game is a blast!
3. enemies respawn way too frequent.
4. fuck level cap
5. sex scenes are meh, not enough variety, curses lackluster (very subjective but this is on top of the bad anatomy)
6. You see more giant dicks and testicles on the screen than girls in sex scene, makes you question the author's sexuality
7. fuck also ability and healing bottle cap
8. item/skill menu no search function
Pros:
1. replayability from choosing your build and blocked paths
2. good amount of ending not just with your mc but also side chars
3. good amount of weapons and skills
4. story starts off with a mystery so it's engaging enough for you to play through the game
Game starts out strong with a seemingly great combat and stat system that actually rewards you for being lewd with proper exp/money while allowing normal builds to thrive as well. That illusion is shattered past the first layer, it quickly becomes apparent that the dev didn't balance around anything but being a slut mage as all other types of damage fall off insanely fast and by the late game even that can't cover up the mindless slog that is the constantly respawning enemies which spam stats debuffs on you. Don't waste time "playing" this game, just grab someones save file and nut if you like the art.
holy peak content. not many of these that I've enjoyed playing the actual game but this one sucks me in. i haven't explored much of the H so far but the game itself is really in depth for what it is. a true diamond in the rough
The game could have been so much better if a few things were handled differently:
Enemies didn’t respawn
The fatigue system didn’t exist
There were clearer indications on how to progress certain characters or continue quests
The first two mechanics really don’t work well together. Enemy respawns make free exploration annoying, and the fatigue system straight up punishes you by forcing you to leave areas, only to make you clear the same shit again when you come back. On top of that, there didn’t seem to be any reliable way to deal with fatigue, so it ended up feeling frustrating rather than engaging.
I also missed a lot of scenes simply because I didn’t know they existed. That’s especially annoying in a hentai game. No one wants to finish a hentai game feeling like they were left out of content without even realizing it.
That said, it’s still probably the best game I played this year. I was completely hooked for 3–4 days, nutted like 15 times. After finishing the game, I went ahead and bought a copy. It was also really nice that it’s a complete game, no waiting, no lack of content, just a fully finished experience with tons of content and great level design.
This game is crying out for some kind of "hard mode" where resource management actually matters. As it stands you can pretty much just grind through and combat is mindless. Paying for lodging is too trivial. Instead of resorting to lewd stuff to survive, you're just doing it on a whim.
I can so clearly picture an alternate version where you have to walk the razor's edge of chipping away at the dungeon and scraping together ends meet, with fewer but more involved combat encounters.
But the end product is still head and shoulders above average.
3.5
The game is challenging i like that but i hate maze, if u just want to see cg than just grind till u reach Lvl 75 and end the game by walk out the town to open all of them, the story is WIP i gueesss??? for some side quest ?
Bought this game the minute it came out and finally got to the 'ending' last night. But damn, the story is great. I'm still a bit mindfucked from finding out everything that I have and I've barely even scratched the surface of what this game has. I also know Japanese and didn't use any translation, so maybe I have a slightly different opinion than some other people on this game.
First and foremost, This game is an actual GAME. Not some scene collector. If you don't care about the game and just want to see scenes then this game is not for you. But you can access all scenes by getting to lvl.75 and restarting your run for those that apparently don't care about playing. Now onto the gameplay.
The only places I really struggled with were finding all the statues for the second floor and how to get past the forest on the third floor. With regards to players who are stuck, I'll give a small hint that shouldn't be any spoiler, but spoil alert it just in case:
I've avoided any spoilers that I can and read as little as possible about the game since it's been out, since I didn't want to know anything more that I didn't already know going in. Ending up beating it on a 'virgin' run, and would sometimes explore a couple scenes/some endings and then load back. At first, the dungeon seems like a maze but you'll start to recognize some of the places over time if you've been there before. But even so you'll sometimes struggle to get to a certain place because you forgot how to get there. What helped was that I stopped just wandering aimlessly hoping to get to places and actually thought about where each path leads to and lo and behold, the dungeon is pretty easy to memorize if you just stop wandering aimlessly. I saw that there's apparently some minimap mod or something, but I feel like that defeats the purpose of the game. The map is pretty easy to remember if you just try to.
You can explore almost everywhere (location wise) in the game in one playthrough. Only limiting thing for that is the remote bomb which limits what entrance you go to the second floor to, but the entrances essentially are all the same, but there is one entrance superior than the others in my opinion which unfortunately I didn't take on my first playthrough, but they each give you something unique so it evens out. I even ended up walking to the prison while going mining once (without any lava protection items) by accident so you can essentially go anywhere in this game.
For the rest of the game, it's really well balanced and well done. The combat system is probably my favourite system in regards to any other rpg game I've played so far. There is auto battle for those who don't care as much about combat, but the only times I used it were when I accidentally pressed it and just manually battled for the whole game. I hate how in other rpg games you just end up becoming too strong because you level up high enough and all your stats are boosted and combat ends up just feeling like a waste of time. In this game your equipment and weapons and leveling stats actually feels like it matters and you can practically take on any enemy if you get the right loadout for it regardless of what class or playstyle you're using and even if you don't have "the right loadout" there's a million different ways to beat enemies. If you're struggling with enemies then try a different approach or just level up your hp. Making money can maybe be made a bit harder in my opinion or the amount made, but it's pretty close to perfect in that regard already since there's lots of equipment and items, but you'll end up with most equipment or weapons by the end of the game on only one playthrough when this game is meant to be played with multiple runs. Only thing this game really needs I feel like, is some extra scenes added when defeated by certain enemies. Unfortunately this game doesn't really have that, but I feel that's probably going to be high up on the list of things being added to this game when they start adding more features and scenes.
This ended up being a bit long, so maybe I'll post it as a review as well.
I will give a couple small hints for those that want them:
played like 4 hours today, refused to sign blood contract got slaved up failed to escape being too low level and underskilled. Got bad ending and reset. Got to play from the start with new knowledge of game. This shit is good. Last time I had so much fun with hentai game was love love my buddy X and before it Karyn's Prison. Might be my top 3 if I understand how to navigate the dungeon and all these shortcuts xD
That's actually the reason why 4 star instead of 5. Like there is a job killing rats or bats in kings field or something or the camp grounds. But I have like zero idea where those are.
I dont care what anybody thinks, but here are all the pros for me:
-multiple ways to start the game with different stats that heavily impact your playstyle
-many CG's in many parts of town, there a bunch of branching storylines and stats
-battles are simple and easy to understand while also being creative
-many hidden areas that require some thinking and exploring
-CG's actually have variations
-just an overall delight after so many AI slop out there
Cons:
-I cant unsee the anteater mouth she has in a few scenes
-the begining is slow, this is actually a pro in my book.
The art is really nice, it managed to deliver some really good CGs
but what really felt great about this game, was the exploration and story, not really that deep, but entertaining, it was pretty fun to discover and experiment with different outcomes to sidequests
As for the sexual content, it does explore different fetishes, but it feels kinda shallow at times, only focusing on two or three types, and was somewhat lacking in content (it does have a lot) but, as an example something like the slavery thingy should have more scenes and outcomes to it
Finally, I only managed to find two anal intercourse scenes (and only one is acesssible in the gallery)
now some spoiler(ish) extra comments:
the whole maiden thing kinda reminded me of Mojika, but it was a nice reveal. Lore aside, all the "dark souls(ish)" exploration was really good (toxic swamp was annoying as ever tho) and even the npcs sidequests were similar, as in, easily you miss some outcomes and content if you just do as you're told or don't have previous knowledge, one example would be backtracking to discover an seemingly level mechanic was in fact an npc messing with you, or actually giving an npc an invisibility potion instead of the one you receive for the quest.
also sorry for the clumsy english m( _ _ )m , I'm not a native speaker
Highly recommend playing without spoilers the first time) you will miss a lot. Or discover a lot))
Simply put - this game is first rate rpg with female protagonist and very replayable.
Now it stands for me at the first place, even KP is the second now (and KP'll need sequel to compete)
Developer is genius to make such story, levels, routes and the like.
Good potential with a decent amount of content. That's how I would describe this game. The artist did an excellent job with the H scenes, and the game itself runs quite smoothly—in all three playthroughs(more than 30 hours, if i check it correctly) to different endings, there wasn't a single bug that would have broken the entire playthrough in hard/soft lock. Honestly, many events are quite small, but they are well-designed in terms of quest design. The plot was also interesting to follow. Surprisingly, it aims to tell a story rather than create a porn theater for watching scenes one after another, and the character does not become a total nympho-bimbo-etc-etc even at 100% lewd (a reference to Karryn's Prison, although I understand that this is a feature of Remitary). / In general, I recommend it, even with the current version (1.0.6), but I hope the authors won't abandon it and will start feeding us new content and scenes, not just bug fixes.
And a little about the technical side of the game—even though it's not KP, where almost all the code is proprietary but written like spaghetti, the game borrows a lot from open source plugins that don't work very well. I hope that the developers will decide to add a Mod Manager so that everything can be fixed without rewriting the main files. Surprisingly, the events here work reliably and consistently; there have been no instances of events freezing and dying, as has happened in many other games of similar scope, at least I haven't noticed any.
I wrote this review using translation service, so I apologize if there are any unclear terms—I'm not fluent enough to write such a large amount of text from "head translation" - i'm kinda bad in english grammar
tl;dr - It's like a similar game that was a disappointment that I can't mention because of the review rules - and what I mean by that is it's gameplay first, adult scenes second. There's a much better ratio in UM, but it still suffers because of it.
---
Pros :
Gameplay is decent
Combat is decent
Art is decent
Story is fine
Writing is fine
Cons :
All the adult content is somewhat repetitive and the majority is niche-focused (hypnotism, slavery etc)
Limited amounts of adult content
Lots of combat/exploration that can be difficult
Lots of adult content locked behind said combat/exploration
---
Ultimately it's let down by it's focus on the gameplay aspect of the game. I'm not complaining they made a good game - my complaint is that they focused on the game over the adult content. Even in the full release there are still references to the demo version and some bugs that have been left over. Multiple instances of things that just 'do nothing', such as collapsing in the dungeon where you get magically teleported to the church (so why bother have a collapse mechanic?) as well as difficult to figure out stat mechanics in some cases. The other thing that I found irksome was the lack of a map (which led me to make one myself while playing) for a game that has an overly complex layout and multiple levels in a dungeon, it's infuriating.
Finally, some of the things that felt like a focus just weren't, which I felt let down by. Pregnancy content is almost nonexistent and the combat sex is incredibly lacklustre.
Overall a fine game, but a disappointing one nonetheless.
It's a really good game. At first, I didn't think it would have much, but surprisingly, it has a lot of content. Plus, you can customize some aspects of the protagonist before starting. It seems to be geared more towards a Souls-like RPGM style, which, in my experience, I've seen few games pull off well. A good game; I recommend it if you like games of this style with multiple endings.
This game could be amazing with a refined mission tracker and a minimap, truly nice so far after 30hrs of playing, but ohh man how I could do with a map for I lost myself in that map so many fokin times, but still good game so far if inmersion is what you seek haha.
A cool game with the best erotic scenes and gameplay... At first it seems like a typical game about depraving the main girl, but then you find a cannibal village on the second floor, a butcher's town on the third, and the plot isn't that pleasant... This makes the game unusual... BUT the technical condition leaves much to be desired... I had a bug with the image of work in the sauna (3rd cycle of the quest), and I can't fix it (it just covers half the screen, and exploring the dungeon like that is so-so (I didn't fix it, you just need to be 45-60% depraved... because other options lead to this bug))... so I'm waiting for fixes, a guide and global floor maps... I find a lot of secrets, but often the teleports to them are in such a AS...POISONSWAMP!... and the stairs are generally amazing, HOW DO YOU CLIMB THEM?!?
I love the art style, not too fond of the blowjob faces but that's not too impactful, I like the protagonist's personality and the way it shifts smoothly into either corruption or order. Exhibitionist passive feels like a completely different main character than the other passives purely because of how often she loses her clothes or is put on display. I like the defeat sequences and the fetishes, very kinky.
10/10 better than Karryn's prison in some regards.
What a game to finish the year with. At this point looking at the reviews you know this is a MUST PLAY game, you can enjoy it more or less depending on taste but it is definitely a good game.
I'd say the strongest point of this game is being a proper sandbox, there's a alot of little things to do and npc's to talk to without any time restriction.
Also, I found the art really hot overall but sometimes some of the faces looked really weird. The gameplay in the dungeon its kinda meh, it's nice to see a big open dungeon with a lot of paths Dark Souls style but we have already seen the classic rpg combat thousands of times already.
so yeah... not a 10/10 for me but I can respect the game's quality, and it was fun to mess around with
