Unity - Yaradiel's Crown [v0.5.3.1 Patreon] [Mr Zed]

+Game has its own system of perks and skills (erotic|combat) and its really complicated and cool.
+Combat system
+BATTLEFUCK!! The reason why I played it.
+Not bad anims, models and poses

-All the enemies have the same sex scenes, that makes game a bit boring as porngame, because you can watch all the scenes at first location.

I think every game should motivate player to beat it, so the porn game should do this with the porn content. But here we can watch all the adult content at the beginning. Maybe some new enemies with unic scenes could be added in each area such as monstergirls, fantasy creatures, ghosts etc. So if you liked game play and story so much, that you want to walk it through, you can turn the adult content off, because you wont see anything new in middle and lategame.

I try not to Glaze or Slander when I write reviews because it can really muddy the waters when it comes to finding quality reviews to help sell you or ward you away from a product.

Yaradiels Crown is at its core, a good game. It's buggy at times, a little clunky and sometimes the writing isn't the greatest, due to english being MrZed's second or third language.

The Gameplay is Turn Based, similar to Final Fantasy games (You have a bar that fills up, once the bar is filled its your turn and enemies stop filling their bar while you figure out what you want to do). There's plenty of options (Many Weapons, lots of different elemental spells) and allows you to freely respec in the main settlement so you're never forced to stick with a playstyle that you might regret.


No game is every truly 'perfect' and I'll admit the visuals leave something to be desired (in terms of actual environment) compared to Solas City Heroes but I chalk that up to this being MrZeds first truly 3D project and its probably far harder to get similar quality environments in a full 3D landscape w/ the exact look and feel he wants.

This game was an experiment and it has a great deal of potential, I want to see how far this goes because the game play is interesting and the story, while simple, is all you really need.

Wishlist;
This is a section for features I'd like to see, even if its in a minor role;

• Allies - I want to bring either recruited enemies or allies with me so I can actually use some of the Threesome Poses offensively. I also would like to be able to customize them (If they bring down the theme my MC is going for then why bother!?)
• Recruitable Enemies - This is mostly an Ego driven thing, I want to be able to recruit enemies to my team / or to help around the main settlement, I love the idea of the MC converting the enemies against Yaradiel in a similar manner as earning Sex Moves or Unit Data.
• More Control over which Sex Moves I use - The Preferred Move System is okay, not good, not great... just okay. I'd rather have a small pool of 4 or so moves that I can choose and then a generic 'random preferred move' option.

A lot of fun and constantly expanding. the amount of enimies in bases can be a bit wearing at times, but great animation and consistent work go into this, and a amount of mechanics that go beyond a simple h title.

I saw this game pop up and thought I'd give it a go. The models are basic with flat textures, but a game with interactive BDSM elements should be fun, right?

Well I didn't get that far because I am averse to overheating my computer hardware. The graphics settings outside of screen resolution don't seem to do anything, especially the FPS limiter. It doesn't work. I do not need to run the game at 100fps and over 75C (I terminated the game process before it could go higher), especially when games with equivalent graphics from over a decade ago don't even bump my GPU usage past 10% and don't make the temperature go up more than 2 degrees.

For reference, I'm currently enjoying Stellar Blade on very high at a steady 165fps and 65~70C on my GPU, so it's not like I have a potato that's struggling.

In short, if you value the lifespan of your computer hardware, avoid this game until the dev learns how to unfuck render settings. Review posted for 0.4.2F.

As of Ver. 0.4.1F I'm really enjoying the game, its a bit buggy atm but nothing Im sure the Devs cant iron out over time.

If you enjoy Turn-based Combat, Skill trees, exploration, and plenty of fetishes; then this game is worth checking out. I personally enjoy the gameplay, customization, Bondage and Futa options for both MC and opponents.

What you might not like is the grindy elements in the game as at times I feel like having more than one character is a waste of time. Grinding levels is one thing but you also have to search around for skills hidden or just blatantly on the ground. Although I enjoy the exploration for camps and weapons, I wish more skills were unlockable via skill tree.

All in all this is a project that i've personally supported and the Devs do listen to feedback. It is unfortunate that Mr. Zed often deals with harsh comments as love is put into the game and it is clear to see. Its just a little rough around the edges atm but this isn't a finished product and I feel that it should be judged accordantly.

As of 4.1 TLDR
its playable but clunky, and so far the only game i can think of that has good bondage mechanics.

if your looking for great graphics and realistic animations your in the wrong place but if your looking for something that actually make you feel like your trapped then you came to the right place.
i have easily sank 15 hours into this so far and sure its a little buggy but my only real complaint is that the leveling gets really grindy around level 8 or so. i havent seen that many of the trinkets so maybe theres some ingame way to level up faster.
looking forward to future updates and plan on buying it when its a little more polished up

It's a turn based RPG with a 'sex attack' system that basically runs off the old Kinky Sex Fight gameplay. Initially it makes a fairly good impression with battles being swift, and level progression going at a reasonable pace. The game has a large skill tree for physical and sex, which appears quite interesting at first. The game options and kinks are highly customizable, which is great and I wish more adult game devs would include such systems. The game doesn't really give you much direction on what you're supposed to be doing past directing you to the first non-tutorial combat area of the game though, and there's basically zero story past the introduction as far as I saw.

Where the game starts to fall apart is the 3rd area, the prison. The enemy encounters are just absolutely packed in there, and yet despite all these fights you stop making any level progression. Looking at the menu, I needed ~95k XP to go from level 10 to 11, and yet the battles were giving me 600-1000 XP a win. Most fights at this point where against 4 or even 5 enemies at once so all those combat abilities go into the trash as you have no reasonable choice other than the spam cleaves every fight. If you miss the chest with the Cyclone attack (strong aoe attack) in the 2nd zone the game frankly becomes unplayable. Bosses are the reverse, and are usually against 1 or 2 enemies with absurd amounts of HP compared to how much the player can deal. These boss fights can end up going on for 20 minutes, not because they're hard (you're in little danger of losing on normal difficulty) but because it takes 50+ attacks to win the fight. There were also no waypoints/checkpoints that I could find in the prison zone, so after slogging through it for an hour I had to choose between returning to town and having to grind through 40-50 battles again (or just quitting at that point, which is what I chose) or continuing on through a second section that appeared to have another 40-50 battles in it.

There's a gallery mode, but gallery unlocks appear to be pure RNG. You win battles, you might get random 'data' on positions and enemy types. It doesn't appears to have a good drop rate and after playing a couple hours I only had access to like 6 positions out of dozens.

All in all I think there's a good foundation here, but the balancing is way off right now. It's too grindy, too tedious, and the novelty quickly gets sucked away along with the players interest in continuing to play it.

I played Yaradiel's Crown in v0.4.1F for the first time today, and it left me with mixed feelings that ultimately landed me on a neutral three.
On the positive side, the different settings at the start of the game allow for a diverse gaming experience. Likewise, the variety of sexual positions.
However, I didn't experience a threesome or gangbang scene. Even with four opponents, everyone always acts one after the other, which is a negative point.
Furthermore, incorrect animations are triggered. A female MC and a female NPC (no futa, no strap-on), but the animation for a titty fuck and foot masturbation for a male MC is triggered.
Another negative point is the dated graphics, which are somewhere between Tomb Raider: Legend (2006) and Tomb Raider: Underworld (2008).
The camera controls take some getting used to and are very clumsy.
Neutral: The tech tree is huge (positive), but very confusing (very small icons, not zoomable).

So what could be improved? Raise the graphics to the status of a game from 2015 to 2020. For example, Skyrim with the CBBE mod.
Improve the comfort features and camera controls.

Edit after 2 hours of play:
There are three-man positions, but I had to activate them in the options first.
In general, every player should spend 30 minutes in the options menu after starting the game to optimize all settings.

So few games that look kinky an have fetish gear (especially latex). The fighting is a little boring after the first 30-40 iteratons. Also, leveling tree looks great but progress is very slow (or I am doing it wrong). Still, one of the hottest games around here. THANK YOU!

Just such a great game. Not much more to say. This has VERY much potential. I'd really like to see more of games like this.
Yeah, not much more to say until 200 characters. Just overall a really great BDSM-focused game. Surely it has a little more to go and needs to be refined in a few places, but that's basically it. Just great.

The game is cool, the game has a lot of choice of appearance, a lot of weapons, different spells! There is character pumping, different difficulty, in the settings you can customize it for yourself. I bought all the games from Mr Zed and I really liked this game, I wait for the update every day!

[v0.2.3 Patreon]
Looks interesting, but is a total junk.

Controls are too messed up and you can barely make it playable.

-Story, Originality
You tried to get some artifact, but messed up.

-Renders
Okay 3d models.

-Sound
Some basic.

-Playability
Barely could play it.
Feels bad.

And you have to collect skills, go there, do that...
Too many mechanics that just overburden the game.

-Performance
A little too needy of CPU.

-Bugs
Camera controls like poop.

-Animations
3d animations.

-Voice Acting
Didn't hear any.

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
Maybe there are a lot of cool h-stuff there, but it plays too bad and I have no motivation to try and play this junk.

0.2.3

within 5minutes of playing you can encounter a critical bug like me where instead of 3 enemies spawning in a fight, only 2 has physical bodies, so the third is in some unknown space, can't hit you, have no health so you are in that fight infinitely.

i think game has decent premise but very bad execution. fights are boring, i dont know how you encounter sex but all enemies do is they put a million restraints on you.

controls are clunky but it's not main focus of game anyway since the moment you encounter an enemy you are dropped into the fight scene (like in final fantasy)... yet you can sneak behind them for extra speed so controls do play some role.

bad fps for such game. sex scenes are 0/5 since they dont happen, idk what the preview pictures are, idk why other ppl voted it so highly but it's pretty sus to rate this game highly with so many bugs and in its current state being this bad.

probably with more grind you can unlock sex scenes i have no idea, but regardless, just purely game design decisions are bad all around. your hp bar when gets to 0 you are just stunned+weakened so enemy turn is a +1 restrain turn then you are full hp again. with enough restraints and sex toys i guess your lust goes up so that might unlock sex scenes but all this struggle makes no sense and it's a bad game design. if enemy is overpowering the girl and would want to rape her, then she doesn't need her lust to be high. anyway game was not going for its reality i guess... yet in some places it feels like they want it to be really realistic so again it makes no sense. i dont think this game will ever be decent unless there would be some big overhaul.

Yaradiel's crown 0.2.3
MrZed pleases us again with a new project, yes, in fact Yaradiel's Crown uses many assets and mechanics from MrZed's previous games, but also brings new ones from the game itself, so in any case it is progress, especially considering that most of the new mechanics and assets are still in development, and MrZed always brings his games to the final stage

As for Yaradiel's Crown itself, even at the time of the announcement and the story about the game, it seemed to me personally similar to Kinky Dungeon, but in 3D and in fact I am glad that for the most part it turned out that way, also an island, pyramids/dungeons, also a bondage and capture system (although not the main focus, but still)

Pros

+ Character and clothing editor

+ Bondage, capture, etc.

+ Good soundtrack - (Although the battle music can be annoying at times, but this is ok, the impressions from listening to the same battle theme throughout the game in projects on RPG maker hardened me)

+ Erotic talents - For battles and roleplaying in future quests and dialogues (I can't wait to see how this will work)

+ A large variation of sex settings for personal preferences

Сons

- Camera - Yes, MrZed already knows about this problem, but it is still terrible, at least on the mouse for sure, maybe on the gamepad it is much better, but I do not like gamepads


In the end, I will say that I love MrZed as a developer, I really like his ideas and their implementation, with each of his projects he only improves, so I wish you good luck in the future <3

Tested on 0.2.2

This game is huge its like 4 gb. Looks very pretty, and I love this dev's custom settings to chose sex things.
Combat is fun, spells are weak tho, but open world + bondage is what closes the deal for me.
There are talent trees to chose, which makes it a true rpg with weapons and builds and stuff like that.

As with this dev other games sex with bondage and futa is an instant recomendation for me.

Cant wait to see updates of this game
