Big titty bitches, feisty femdom futas, and titillating twink tushes, this is the subject of today's game warlock and boobs, a long standing staple of F95zone that finally completed just this week. lets talk about it for those who've been waiting.
We first need to talk about fetishes and tags, You can turn all the off kilter fetishes off, including gay stuff, multi-breasts and so on. Some you can't as much, there is a short period of the game where the MC has to have boobs in order to progress, and the twink best friend gets feminized but it's reversible. I will say that personally I think the gay scenes are good because it's the hetroflexible kind of gay where only twinks get railed but that's just me, if you're not into it you can turn it off.
The Fetish we need to talk about is the polyamorous nature of the game. I've said in the past that I don't like sharing in these kinds of games, I like being king fuck of fuck mountain, and the master accountant of the fuck isles. Warlock and Boobs however I feel does sharing very well, there is no NTR for example because you aren't "with" anyone in specific you're with everyone and everyone is with you, it works. I think it's the only game I've played where it didn't feel bad when someone I have sex with is fucking someone else, because I'm probably fucking both of ‘em.
I personally love the art of this game, and have from the beginning, I probably started playing this on and off about 5 or 6 years ago and the art has always been the main draw, big titties, sexy twinks and a cast of colourful characters. I could gush over the different ways everyone is drawn to bring fourth there personalities visually, Boobsgames even makes fat bitches fuckable which is hard. I did notice recently that you can describe this art style as "Hollywood actresses post plastic surgery" do with that what you will I argue it works well here and regardless of my recommendation for the game I definitely recommend checking out boobsgames art.
Now let's quickly cover the story, there kind of is and isn't one? There is world building with Fina being a former Hero and Erik training to be the next hero with all the stuff that entails, but the story of the game at present follows the main character Krowly (not changeable) as he goes through a series of quests to become a warlock. It's not super present within your mind, the quest-lines will have a story within them but there isn't much of an overarching narrative.
Ultimately the story isn't really important, the quests are mostly there to get some of the sex scenes in the game if you are having trouble getting them on your own. Also to add new scenes to the game with characters and routes. The characters are what drives this game I feel, each one has a clearly defined personality, each scene with them reinforces that along with their dialogue. One issue with this though is none of the characters ever really change? Or at least they never change their opinion of you within dialogue and that's a real shame. Astra the girl to the left of the main character in the banner starts the gaming hating you, the only character that starts with negative relationship level. She hates you for being a pervert which makes no sense at all in this game specifically but whatever, antagonistic women are hot. The thing is no matter how much you improve your relationship with here she never changes how she talks to you, you can do more stuff and open more scenes but the dialogue basically doesn't change except for new scenes opening up as a result of increasing the level. It's kind of disappointing in a subtle way. I don't think this is the worst thing ever, especially for a game that is very much trying to a JRPG with sex as opposed to a porn game with JRPG elements. It's just feels underwhelming in the end. Also minor thing, a lot of the characters don't let you have sex with them vaginally and if you can it's often a bit of a chore to get there, Jenna is my example there, you can only fuck her right in the pussy after a topless Friday dance. I think it's because the dev uses bits and pieces from other art they've done to reduce the work a bit and they just have a suit of anal pics but still, feels weird.
So we've talked about the stuff that's really good and the stuff that's okay lets talk about one of the reasons I am not fully recommending this game, the gameplay. This is a JRPG, it's running on RPGM, an old version RPGM at that. It has most of the shit RPGM has that makes it bad, intrusive dialogue boxes, lots of scene changes, the very slow turn based combat, it's got it all. Full disclosure I cheated in this game as I often do in porn games, There's a cheat room you can get to where you can change characters relationship level, make the battles easy, add boobs, so on and so fourth. I do not play JRPG's because I don't like JRPG's so I am not going to talk in depth about the JRPG mechanincs. What I am going to tell you is that to fuck Fina, the character to the left of Astra, you need 50 relationship level, and can increase her level by 1 per day and you get 15 for completing her quest. 35 in game days + the time it takes to do the quest which isn't simple. That's sort of the rub for me, I don't have the time or patience for that kinda game.
Pacing is the problem here, even with cheating, you still need to go through the days and scene's are day specific and some don't work with the cheating work around. if it was ren.py it would be an hour of skipping dialogue but in RPGM, half the fucking time you're just dashing from scene to scene, accidentally hitting the wrong button when in a fight, now you're fucking a slime and your lust is down UGH. The quests aren't very descriptive so you you might not know what to do next at any given time. Look at the guide, and the guide is good but its DENSE, it has a lot of information in it and you need to put in some effort to figure out where exactly you need to go and what to do to see each scene. All of this really sucks it feels like a slog to play and has a lot of very little things that make the game drag even more, one is, if Krowly's lust stat is super high, whenever time passes he says "All I wanna do is fuck something right now", I've probably seen that line of text more times than there are words in the bible, and it adds like half a second to every scene change, every fucking time. Most of the time after you beat an enemy the game asks you if you want to fuck it, so you need to make sure you pick the correct choice after every fight. These little things really stack up over time and hurt the experience the longer you play.
All of that would be fine if the game just had a fucking gallery. I can deal with the slog of combat, the slow movement the sleeping for multiple days just to see specific scenes I can handle all of that but when I beat the game and see every scene, give me the ability to see them all at my leisure as a reward for the slog, let me see the interactions at my pace. The lack of gallery and some other choices made here are my main gripe with the game. The game tracks lust for the MC, weird but okay I guess it's something to manage for the combat, but it also tracks the lust stat with certain NPC's in the game, WHY? Why lock me out of content sometimes almost arbitrarily?!?? There are too many characters in this game, 37 unique characters in this game all of which you can interact with sexually to some degree and a suave of monsters/fightable NPC's, WHY!!
Yes I am complaining about too many characters in a porn game, with the sheer amount they all end up feeling a bit incomplete or disappointing because after a certain point you run out of interactions involving them. I would much rather have a tighter cast of characters which have tons of interactions than many each only having a few.
All of this vexed me until I finished the game and got to experience the credits sequence. The credits were full of people who worked on a specific part of the game, or paid to have another part of the game made, and it all clicked. This is a camel, many hands went into making this each choosing the character they liked the most and expanding on that, and it all suddenly makes sense. I have to commend how tight of an experience this game ends up being with that new information.
In conclusion I would recommend this game if you're into JRPG's and like big titties and futas but if you don't care for those, or want a more well rounded experience I would look elsewhere, for me this will always be one of the games on my computer that I revisit from time to time, but I'll never play it from scratch again.
