Others - Val Karee [v0.7.20] [ValKaree]

Review as of v0.3.00

Pros:
+ Interesting ideas including Guro, it's rare to see a 2D sidescroller Guro porn game.
+ Good moving animations and H animations.
+ Good sound design, the H sounds are very erotic. If there's a scroller to adjust the sounds it'd be neat, because the gun sounds are quite louder compared to the H sounds when I played.
+ Good character design choice, quite the right amount of muscle and boobs, suitable for the theme of the game. Some other games give the female characters too much muscle together with huge watermelons for boobas which look really freaky. (this may be biased because I love not-overloaded erotic muscular female bodies)
+ Responsive dev, actually read and take opinions from players.

Cons:
- Quite unnecessarily hard at some parts. It needs to be either toned down more in difficulty or given an option to use cheats. Mainly people play porn games to get horny, not to get extra frustrations.

- The controls and actions are okay at some parts, but quite clunky at some parts which makes the game more difficult. For examples: the delay between slides is quite long, kick animation quite slow and the range quite short, hit boxes are confusing (zombies shouldn't be able to stay right onto MC). Overall, the MC can use be a bit of faster movements, especially against the fast enemies.

best actual game on this site, great animations, great cgi. slightly challenging but that's what makes it fun. also it's fun to lose but there are plenty of save areas so you do not have to backtrack too far.

Been playing this game since version 0.1 and it's been one of my favorites from the beginning.

Controls and gameplay are straightforward and storyline is pretty cheeseball but you can't ask for much more in a small dev, side-scroller game. More weapons, attacks, and maneuvers would make it more interesting and some work on the story/dialogue would better hold the player's attention. The sound design is really great as almost every action has a dedicated sound that plays. The holy grail would be voice-over but I'm good with where it is now.

Characters and animations are where the game really shines. I'm a sucker for Val's character and NPC body type. Some assets need polishing/more fleshing out.

Acknowledging that the kinks portrayed in the games are not to everyone's tastes, those can simply be avoided by getting good I say keep it coming.

Finally, whatever criticism there may be for the game, the dev has been very receptive to changes and open to feedback from the get-go. Don't see that often on this site. The first version of the game is far different that the most recent, a testament to the constantly improving ethic of dev. Hyped to get Val out of this forest and into whatever trouble there is planned for her.

Edit 4/11

Dev has upgraded the visuals and they are truly great. Everything about this game is on the up. Stay tuned for great things to come

Updating for version 0.4.0

Getting SOO good. Backdoor level is awesome, the best so far by a long shot.

Review for Version: 0.1.02

This is the type of game I've been waiting for! There are not enough sidescroller/platformers out there that cater to the submissive genres. This has that, but with really good quality.

The gameplay is slow at first but if you take the time to build up mana it gets fast-paced and fun. I've become adept at slinging grenades and taking out lots of zombies. My record on the Mercenaries level is over 2000 kills.

There's only one enemy but it sounds like there will be more. Even so, there are great anims and you can buy more with mana. I really like that concept.

One thing this game excels at is audio. The H audio is very 'graphic', and it's not the standard squeaky Japanimation voice you hear in 98% of these games. There no background music, but I'm fine with that and I usually turn that off anyway.

To the developers: You've have a great game with a solid base. Please please PLEASE don't abandon this project!

Version v0.1.02 things may change with later releases.

So, this is just a slow, kinda clunky sidescrolling zombie shooter / beat um up game.

The good is that it's not too clunky to play, other than just figuring out exactly how far your kick reaches and the timing of when you can shoot vs run vs kick to avoid damage.

The animations and character models (all 2 of them besides the zombies) look ok. There's a bit of jank in the animation for the MC, but not really bad, just ok.

Animations with guro / gore are marked in the unlock menu so you can avoid them if you want.

The bad is everything else.

The story seems to be Not Lara Croft is fighting zombies to save people, and saves Not Ashley Graham (Resident Evil 4 character). So nothing interesting or unique currently, might change later on.

It's got a level up system, more HP, more ammo per magazine, more carried magazines, exc. The issue is that even getting the first upgrades is EXPENSIVE. you might get 1-2 cheap upgrades from beating the first (currently only) level.

The description mentions the character dashing to dodge enemies, which you can do... If you buy an upgrade, see the previous point.

The interface is clunky as hell, especially the upgrade menu. It's incredibly easy to accidentally buy things you don't want, and I don't remember seeing a refund option like many games of this type have.

There's only the one real level and an endless mode. The level is basically a set of linear halls that enemies are either in or spawn in as you move. There are some 1 room side paths with mana (upgrade currency) or ammo, but nothing else I recall. There are also spike traps, some of which WILL hit you if you didn't get the dash unlocked. You can also end up stunlocked fairly easily by the faster spikes and sometimes the spikes and 1 enemy. The enemies are also unaffected by the traps, which is just annoying since it seems like they should and would fit into the Survival Horror roots them seem to be pulling from (at least a bit).

So the level is go generally right until you get a key (how a standard key unlocks the portals who knows) , then go left until you find your rescue target. Then go back right to escape from where you started from. The only supplies until you get to the rescue target is ammo. After getting there you get a full heal, clothing repair, and full ammo. Then you get the cutscene with the target, which leaves you stripped again...

The rescue cutscene seems to be missing almost all the images / animations, but that may just be an early release thing.

The endless combat level is just boring (with a level 1 dash), since you basically just run right and left shooting a few enemies and getting a full refill of supplies each trip to the opposite side of the screen.

I feel like I've forgotten something, but whatever. Regardless I'd definitely wait for a later version.

One of a kind game. It's still in the early stages of development, but this game fits some rare kinks, which are always appreciated. It is not for everyone, since there is guro content, but its kinda toggleable: a positive (or negative, depending on your taste) feature is that u actually need to buy with the in-game currency the game over animation and sex position. Finally, strong girl submitted is a rare, but really pleasant, find, and I really wish this won't get abandoned by the developers.
