RPGM - Warlock and Boobs [v0.507] [boobsgames]

Great art, poor story telling, bad game mechanics, excesive grinding.

Gotta say I usually don't enjoy RPG maker games. I came running to download this one when I saw on twitter, or it appeared to be, that you could transition the gender of the protagonist. In general, with few exceptions, the characters CGs, although cross the line of bodies objectification, have a high quality, very polyshed appealing style. Also, it's very apprecietaed the diversity of erotic content ranging between gay/hetero/trans posibilites, either it's not very wide, but allows the player to build and choose a way to interact.

All of these are good aspects of the game, but they can't make a good/enjoyable game on its own. The biggest issue I see is an innexistent coeherent narrative that leads us towarths the objectives of the main character, something where we could reflect our own desires. For instance, I was expecting the moment when I could femenize my body all the game throught and it came at a very late stage of gameplay in a very dull way, for no apparent good reasons or main character desires. It ends just as a excuse to show a massive breasted transexual on screen, and the moment doesn't taste like anything to me. Its just another pornographic image appearing, just as so many we crossed throught the game to this point.

I honestly hate games that are only a pretty counter to show hentai art. If I was to consume innconected pornographic images I have search engines on internet and I don't have to spend my time grinding tedious tasks. Which also leads me to complain about the way the game is designed to unlock new content. At least it's a chaos of unrelated events that makes it very hard to understand where to go or what to chase. When you get to understand what to do, the grinding to achive anything can be obsene, and on top of that, dev, has something for hiding secrets and hard to find content all over the place. somehting that far from making you feel good about finding stuff, makes a very frustrating gameplay, moslty because you know you will never unlock everything unless you check a guide or a walkthrought.

I also rated very low because I can't stand the rape culture and the sexual violence on pornography. I'm expecting that independent devs start to build creative alternative ways of thinking about eroticism and sexuality. Not only as a point of view with gender perspective, but because same old shit is boring.

The art is excellent, the dialogues are tasty. But the gameplay should improve. It took me several tries before I got hooked. The information about the quests given by the menu would deserve to be more detailed and especially to say when the current version does not allow to finish the selected quest.

Save yourself a weekends worth of free time and go fap to something else. (Or look up this game CG if you must)

Gameplay is grindier than any other game I've seen on this site, and it's not even an ejoyable grind. There's even RNG involved in some parts, so nuff said.

It DOES have a lot of potential with a great deal of polish and fleshing out of concepts (Like the protagonist doing body modification stuff, both to himself and other people).

First, the good: Good art. Balloon tits, but, hey...not always a bad thing.

And now, the bad....

First of all...RPGM...nuff said on that part. Besides that, the grind is ridiculous. Combat is more than just a bit frustrating. There is no option to retreat. You can fight and lose, or submit and automatically lose. So, in short...in combat...you lose. You don't get experience from solo fighting...at ALL. Never have I played a game where I tried to explore a bit, get into a lot of easy fights...and still have zero exp to show for it.

The only plus for this is the art. That's it. If I wanted this much grinding, I'd go play Everquest.

With amazing art, it is a shame that the gameplay is so not fun. At least the last time I played it which was nearly a year ago. The UI looks a tiny bit unpolished, but the game can feel like a grind and likely needs to be rebalanced around with some adjustments to make it a more enjoyable experience.

Right now, just finding art from boobsgames works just as well. I cannot remember anything from the story, which makes it unmemorable.

The artist should likely get a gameplay designer to assist them, or swap if they already have one.

Awful grind and the utterly useless quest log ruins this game. The grind is so ridiculous that cheating is pretty much a necessity unless you want to spend 8 hours grinding relationship points just for the first 3 - 4 introduced characters, and even then, RNG events ruin it again. The art in this game is amazing but the awful gameplay & grind is one of the worst I've ever seen on RPGM.

Leaving this review as 1 star unless this dev heavily reduces the grind, stops using RNG to proc events, and implements a quest log that is actually useful.

I'd rather go play the worst sandboxes on this website than play this in its current state.

I'd like to love this game, but it was overall a very frustrating experience.

I have a love hate relationship with this game. It has unique and incredibly high quality artwork. But at the same time it's a grindy nightmare to play through.

I honestly can't imagine playing through this game without a walkthrough + cheats. After multiple playthroughs I still find myself asking, "Where the fuck am I supposed to go next!?" Not to mention the grind is real and not fun. The developer thankfully added a cheat room in the basement of the character's house, and without that I'd be giving this a 1-star review. It saves the game for me.

The characters are great. The scenarios are unique and fun. Even the battle systems are well thought out, fairly deep, and fun in moderation. There's so many good ideas here. It's a shame that all of that is getting strangled by slug-like progression and a quest hint system so useless it might as well say "Just go look around, fuck it."

I want to give this game a 4.5/5. I want to because when I play this game, I do it with a walkthrough and a save editor for extra money & items. With all of that the game is incredible. But those are 3rd party fixes, and I really need to review the game on its own merits. And with that in mind I can't honestly rate this higher than a 3.

While the art is great, the gameplay is awful. Incredibly difficult to know how to progress without walkthroughs and even then, there are all kinds of RNG to unlocking many scenes, and again, you would have no clue that you need to keep visiting the same place over and over again(let alone what time of day you need to visit) to trigger some low probability RNG scene, without a walkthrough. No official gallery either so many are one and done.

You can't level up by fighting enemies, only through very specific things like completing quests that have no rhyme or reason in game on how to complete them. You can get 2 exp by studying a book in the evening, which guess what, without cheats, you have to know what specific interactions with specific people will progress time from morning to evening. To get from lvl 1 to lvl 2, you will need 50 exp, meaning progressing through 25 days to level up once. You need 162 for lvl 3. Questing is the only decent way to level up but several of the very first quests will take you into a forest in which your first encounter can be against 4 slimes, which will guarantee kill you, even at higher levels. Once you are getting progress in a quest, you will inevitably encounter game-breaking bugs either way.

Even with cheats and a walkthrough, progress is mind-numbingly slow.

Overall, great art, no complaints there, but literally everything else is left wanting. The dev needs to take a "game design 101" class and stop adding features like a "cleavage switch" before he at least implements some kind of a hint system for the quests. Something crazy and over the top, like townspeople giving hints to active quests.

Yet another cool game with good art, interesting kinks, and well written dialogue, ruined by RPGM grindiness.

It's not the worst i've seen but it's definetly bad. You'll be doing your usual fetch quests and running around a mind-numbingly large map for a drop of content, over and over again.

Here's hoping for a ren'py port.

5/10, if it's worth playing it depends on your tolerance to bad RPGM gameplay.

It's a little bit TOO grindy, but the kinks are just perfect for me and the art is so beautiful.
Would like if there were more content during each updates but it is what it is.
Still a good play every once in a while to see the new content is good.

Some of the best illustrations ever, but the gameplay is archaic, tedious and horrible. Would be amazing if restructured into a Summertime Saga type of gameplay. Whatever the case, the dev clearly has a vision for their game and I look forward to the time it's deemed finished since it's already quite superb (with the gallery mod).

Author probably wanted to attract heterosexuals (huge majority) and some homosexuals (negligible minority) to play the game, but with so many homosexual content s/he will drive away people.
Story is too artificial, graphic is good, but some sounds (i.e. ejaculating) is very bad.

One of the few games on here that i'm actively excited about.
This is just an all around really fun game with great and unique art, good selection of different fetishes and characters, and a bunch of stuff to do.
Genuinely looking forward to every update.
Only reason for 4/5 stars is because it's (obviously) not finished yet.

It has some annoying shit with getting attacked by monsters and not lvling up by killing them. Forcing you into long fights every time you face the same ones over and over. Yes I know you can lvl up on hunts but it's so fucking slow. Go into cheat mode, trust me, it's not worth it.

But the porn, oh lord the porn. It's so good, it's the settings, the setups, the art etc. etc. it's so god damn erotic. It's not all perfect, of course not. But nothing has made me cum buckets so hard like this one.

9/10 porn with 10/10 moments.
Gameplay 4/10 with just the amount of mindless, slow and boring grinding there is. Whether it's farming for plants (that can fail for some fucking reason) or searching for Marvin the sheep just to get grandma Agniezska to show me her tits.

Edit: The developer keeps focusing on adding on layers to his already bad gameplay foundation... It's not making it better, it's just more of the bad. Dev, if you see this, give us xp for killing monsters and make the weak ones automatically avoid us. Your combat isn't fun and it's just dragging the game down having to trudge through it.

Well... I don't usually like RPGM games, despite some top tier games using this engine, but I was searching for the best games in this category and I couldn't believe WaB wasn't there.

For me, after playing this game again after so long, I think this one right here is a fucking diamond. If you want a nice visual novel or something to just fap and go, this isn't your game. It hasn't got a tragic plot either, or a story that will make you cry, but damn it has a lot of potential.

Pros:

- Graphics are just unique. The buildings, characters, enemies, dungeons, trees... they just look awesome. And then, the sexual pictures are just perfect for this game style, I just love them.
- Female characters look amazing.
- One of the best battlemodes I've played in this site so far.
- Ok, it's kinky and nasty af, and that's something good and... not that good sometimes. I mean, I don't usually like gay content, for example, but I don't care about that in this type of game (and you can disable it). And if you're not gonna play this game cause you're character might end with a dick straight up in his ass from time to time... damn bro just close your eyes or something and press the mouse lol.
- Really nice side quests that help developing the plot and characters.
- Good music, and I don't usually play this kind of games with sound.

Cons:

- Lack of info about some quests, sites or characters that make you either loose some time searching or go to check some walkthrough.
- Some of the characters have a lot of development and scenes... while others just have 2 or 3 sexual or non sexual moments and that's all.
- I don't like quests that activate when you get an item that has a % of dropping when you kill an enemy or open a chest, for example. It's nice to make it challenging, but not that much.

Overall, high tier game that can make it to the hall of fame of the rogue like sexual games easily. Give it a good try, like some lonely night or something just for this game.

great art with decent gameplay but honestly this should have VN tag, its hardly animation its like maybe 2 key frames ? idk, decent game just needs better animation and might be top tier, also building relationships takes sooooooo looooonggg.

Warlock and Boobs [v0.339][boobsgames]
Loving this game

WHAT IT IS: Open world style RPG game with lots of sex scenes
WHAT IT IS NOT: Straightforward point and click for next fap

This suits me very well as I play porn games as a way to play a game which rewards me with porn for moving the plot on (and in this one punishes me with porn for errors - just can't lose)

OBJECTIVE attempt at reason =========
Warning: to enjoy this game the player must be willing to dedicate some time to understanding the game mechanics. Simply using the first gameplay methodology that produces a result will lead to a very grindy experience. The player must experiment with different ways to progress the game to get the most out of it.

Gameplay mechanics: Intuitive, arrows, spacebar, shift and esc cover everything; Interact with NPCs to raise relationships and increase further interaction options; Fight foes turn by turn; Get xp for quests and specific tasks (none for defeating standard foes); More xp = more HP, MP, spells;

Basic plot: Play as a male (Krowly) the village's amateur warlock; Village contains lots of scantily large breasted women to interact with; Explore and find things to do and NPCs to fuck;

Screen: Open world map straightforward, a small number of screens to remember; Additionally a number of dungeons to explore;

Graphics: I love these, they are, I think, pretty unique; Very bold style with lots of luscious curves;

Sex: Lots of it; Mostly Male MC and female NPCs; There are male/futa and male/male combinations, mostly as a result of losing fights or by deliberate selection. Although some sex might be coerced the level of reluctance is non-existent;

Keeping track: There are a lot of quests which are logged; There are other tasks that are not; There are many NPC interactions which change with relationship status, day of the week and time of day; As such if the intention is to cover as many options as possible the gamer is going to need to record a separate log somewhere of what's been done so far.

SUBJECTIVE opinions =========
I enjoy the wandering round finding stuff by accident; I like the sex scenes; I like the NPC interaction (many of which are drily humourous); I love the graphics; So for me this is a top game;

Very well written game. It keeps getting updates. I feel like a lot of the hate for this game is coming from the same reason I love it so much. It pushes boundaries. There's a bit of gay and futa content. It's not a ton, but I think it upsets people. I know that the customer is always right, but I wish they'd get over themselves. It's not that much, and I bet they'd like it if they tried it.

First off it’s got amazing art, that’s always a huge draw to these games is the art obviously, secondly so far the scenes are great, there’s a good variety of action from what I experienced. Here’s the best part though, the game is completely free, every build is public as soon as it releases and honestly with this quality it earned them my patronage.
I will note that as others have mentioned it’s not entirely clear where you need to head at the start but as you play it makes more sense, at least it did for me.
Very interested to see where this project goes and its future updates.
