i was sceptical about this one because mandys house 1 and 2 were really boring games and the constant giggle of the girl started to annoy me but im pleasently surprised. (im struggling between 2 and 3 stars but we'll get to it)
[re-thinking the game i have to go with 2* sorry]
the game is about as complex as a mediocre NES rpg i'd say.
the good:
- the game looks pretty nice for (i think) a 1 man project
- actually a full game. so quite long.
- decent world to explore.
- sex scenes are custom voiced. its the "mandy girl" again, every sex scene has its unique dialogue. sure the moaning is generally the same but still its not like other games where the same sex sound is used for EVERY single scene.
- you get 2 other girls to join you who also got their own voice actors and add to the dialogues.
the bad:
- combat is boring. leveling up does NEVER grant any new spells, you have to find them in the world. also you only fight 1 enemy every battle. and there is no run option. AND the enemy balance is random. early on you'll face goblins which will destroy you for no reason. yet they are as common as every other enemy in the area where they appear.
- you have to save after every enemy because theres a chance the next enemy will kill you
- the worst point of them all: missing/blocking. holy f*cking shit did you ever wanna play an rpg where both you and the enemy has a 50% chance to miss and a 30% chance to block? then this is for you.
you might think im exaggerating BUT I AM NOT! if you play the game you'll think "holy shit he was right... you literally miss/block about 70% of all attacks)
- no sidequests. while you get crafting items for exploring, there is almost no reason to do that. you could use cheat engine for gold and just buy everything. (small edit here: duh ofc you could cheat gold. i dont wanna sound like a dick here, but grinding materials for 10min straight just to get 1 more spell... not worth it.)
- the 2nd worst point: SO DAMN SLOW!!!
you can skip certain scenes by holding spacebar for 3 sec but this doesnt work with most. they are so damn slow, i played the entire game on cheat engine x3 speed. im not joking.
- sex scenes are kinda boring from an animation point of view. all you really do is select between slow medium and fast. missed chance.
- saving/healing only heals your main character. so you'll have to manually heal the other 2 with items/spells. again going back to "why is everything so slow". it gets really annoying.
- animations are meh. its average, walking and throwing a spell looks like it but thats it. really nothing special here.
overall: its playable. its a full game.
it has many boring and slow aspects.
after 30min i started to run past every enemy possible. theres no boss battles so there is no reason to level.
if you want a game where the voices are not just a reused 2 second loop of some random porn moan, then you'll have a great time here.
everything else, especially after playing for 30-60min will start to get more and more boring. and eventually you'll just skip as much as you can to get to the next sex scene.
if you read the entire thing give my review a thumbs up or down. i'd appreciate knowing ppl read this
ps: if you use cheat engines speed up (which you will trust me) if you get to a red forest with a big sign in front of it, turn off the speed hack or the game will softlock itself in a never ending cutscene.
