Unreal Engine - Yuna: Reborn [v0.4.02138a] [Horn]

Reviewed on version 0.4.02138

Yuna is an extraction shooter, in the vein of Tarkov or Project Silverfish. As a consequence, it obeys a lot of the genre's tropes: very little guidance, and a rather difficult gameplay with a slow character progression. I cannot stress enough that you must play the game with the mindset of an extraction shooter, and not worry about dying a lot.

The game has a rather extensive character creator, which allows you to change many things, from breast size to muscle thickness. It's easily on the level of a Skyrim mod in that regard.

The gameplay takes a moment to get the hang on. But as I said, if you approach the game in the correct angle, things will click rapidly.

The dev clearly attempts to make the sex progress in a diagetic way. Enemies will mostly use physical attacks first. But with every lust attack (and the occasional surrender), you will increase your sex skills and unlock more stuff.
While it might perhaps be a little smoother, I appreciate that they seem to have a clear direction, in that this is a dangerous world first and foremost, with rape being only one of the possible fates you can encounter.

The animations themselves are rather good, if perhaps a little stiff and lacking sound effects.

This is a 4 stars at the moment, because there a few things lacking, such as the mentioned lack of sound effects, or the ability to remove clothes. There's also a couple quirks, like having difficulty with slopes and stairs.

But it is easily 5-stars potential, especially for a game developed by a single person (in harsh conditions, to boot).

Im giving it a 5/5 because of the first impression and the fact that it seems to be active, progressing and this game is really good all ready in my opinion.

First impressions were really cool. The character customization is epic for a game like this, so much detail, so many options. Very impressive what the dev have done.

Have to shout out the amount of explanations for settings, game mechanics, menus and all that. Really put effort into making it readable, easy to follow and not overly complicated. Feels like the dev really made it hard to not understand while still not over explaining.

So far i havent actually played the game that much so i base a bunch on other peoples comments, but i wanna still give props to what i have seen so far because i feel like that in itself deserves a rating.

*I will update this comment after i played it more and explored.

The graphics are good, the character customization is great, and the sound effects are good. But why 2 stars?

-> Combat really sucks. Action feedback is minimal and its not clear if head shots actually do more than body shots... or I was hitting the neck. Aiming is pretty bad, and you can't fire on the move. There is a ton of enemies at any given time, and firing a shot, alerts all 30+ of them to your position. It takes forever to reload, hip firing is terribly inaccurate, and I'm never clear on how much ammo I have at a given time. There doesn't appear to be melee strikes and enemies can too easily grab you and force you to sex. And with so many enemies around, its easy to get stuck in a rape loop. You get raped, you add as many as you can, but there is still more waiting. The rape ends, and you immediately get raped again, without a chance to escape. And as everyone in a map beelines for you, there isn't much you can do.

-> Movement is really bad. There is no mantling/vaulting, I didn't see a roll or slide, and you get stuck on terrain elements all the time. You move slowly, and running consumes stamina, and running is only slightly faster than enemy movement; otherwise they are faster than you when you walk. Once enemies surround you, there isn't a way to escape and there is way too many enemies in the area. And if you don't want to get raped, you have to do QTE parries, which requires stamina, but when you get surrounded, you have to do multiple and eventually you run out of stamina.

-> Sex is well animated, but the controls and QOL are terrible. Its not clear on how to advance a scene. The camera controls are brutal and I never could get a good angle. Its not clear what will happen when you add a nearby guy to the sex scene or when you've reached your limit of participants. I didn't notice any cumshots or dripping fluids, or creampies. You can't disable specific holes being penetrated (ie I'm an anal guy, and not vaginal).

-> Performance was atrocious. Even on medium settings, my computer was nearing maximum temperatures. And on medium settings everything in the game looks like shit. Its clear that its only optimized for high-end rigs with ray-tracing capable cards. Even capping framerates, didn't help much. Its just a huge resource hog, and not being able to enjoy pretty woman, was a real turn off.

-> I never could figure out how to gain the "metaprogression" or how to save the game or how to find the story, in story mode.

=====

I give it two stars because the customization, especially for nipples or pussy is amazingly well done. The breasts bounce enticingly, but couldn't tell if the butt did as well.

This might be good, but right now, without a gallery system, you have to play the game to see scenes and the gameplay is terrible at the moment.

Really enjoyed playing it. It felt like a partially open world. At one point, it got to difficult and I uses the cheat menu. At the (current) end, I realized I would have had needed to farm a lot more stuff (especially ammo) to get through the game. But the animations are far better than most games here. Definitely interesting. I think I will wait a bit, how the updates progress and then support the developers.

Overall, it's a good game. The graphics are good. Animations are good and varied. The story is okay. You can customize several aspects of the character's body, which is really good.

For me, the biggest downside so far is the character movement, it's very slow and not fluid. It feels like the character is walking in slow motion. Audio sometimes cuts out and needs improvement overall.

I haven't gotten very far into the game yet, but so far I've seen some clothing variety options. It would be nice if more were added eventually.

Other than that, it's a good game, and it has improved a lot since the last time I tested it. It's good to see that the developer is improving the game with each new update.

Great game for Dead Space or Resident Evil fans.
1) Some great mechanics implemented, everything works as intended.
2) Strong character customization. Very strong.
3) You can play it almost without adult scenes, fun even without porn.
4) Ofc there are bugs, rarely can even crash, but mostly everything works as intended.

My sincere thanks for such interesting project! Слава Україні!

I gave the game a try and got 2 cents to give on a few aspects of it.



1. Stamina seems a bit too low; maybe double what it's at currently.

2. The guns just seem weak; about 10 minutes in, I got the shotgun, which was much better but still felt a tinsy bit lacking but workable. Also, only being able to have 8 rounds in the shotgun and 8 on the belt was annoying; maybe make it upgradeable or maybe make a chest armor add-on bandoleer that could hold 16 more shells.

3. As soon as I started the game, I got jumped and lost half my health. Maybe make it spawn you another 10 or so meters from that group of guys, or I just had really bad luck.

4. In the building with the orphan quest, when you go back downstairs, if you go under the staircase, you get glitched in the steps. I was looking for a way to the basement and didn't think to interact with the shelf.



That's well more than 2 cents. Also, the game was beautiful; at first I was iffy, but it turns out the settings were just lowered by default. I cranked all the settings to inferno quality, and it looked amazing.

I acknowledge that a lot of work has been put into this game but it is still unplayable in my opinion. It suffers from balancing issues (number ghouls spawned), gameplay oversights such as being attacked while locked in a conversation with an NPC or lengthy unskipabble sex animations, etc.

The story is ok, far from done and hopefully developer will use more of the map areas for interactions and story spawns or side quest spawns. making an entire new map would be great if the story itself was deeper and every area of the current maps were completely used up.

The concept of seeing the main characters internals is beautiful and amazing! but could use more interactions or reasons for seeing inside other than just visuals. (healing broken bones, injecting specific area before it spreads, etcetc) using body modification devices, or stims to alter body areas (breast size, futa cock, animal parts like tail or succubus wings that mutate after injection, or animal genitals, body reductions stims like height boob size, etc.)

Sex makes the combat replayable as an optional way of fighting! love all of that, keep expanding it!
I did notice how some of the smaller enemies grow to a bigger size on sex start to match the character height, i understand why it's setup this way, but maybe adding body collisions would be a better alternative, so a hand or hips can't go inside other body parts.

There are so many positives about this game, the development will obviously be slow, but in the end it would be worth it.

my advice to the developer and any developer would be, never limit any project, always aim for realism no matter what, even if it's sci-fi/fantasy, realism helps immersion, always have every option available to add choice that players can enjoy.

Great RPG system and Sex system. This is a hidden gem. The shooting mechanics are flawless and the movement feels really smooth. It has a medieval feel and has many enemies are more to come. The capture system is a unique feature and is going to get even better. The quests are well made and if you like rpg, then this the right game for you. DO NOT sleep on 4.1. Its gonna be nice. Also support the creator. He gives update reports about every month, and knows what he is doing.

Pros:
-Good movement
-Smooth Gameplay
-Really Clean character models and appearance
-Close to Perfected Character Customizer
-Good Difficulty auto-modifier
-Good Skill Tree
-Personally Good Progression Rate
-Realistic changes to character depending on their situation: Character can get dirty (literally), bloody, and physically struggle when interrupted.
-Beautiful Terrain
-Doesn't Kill GPU too much since its UE4.

Cons:
-Only realistic con besides bugs is that isn't finished... that's it but give them slack bruh it's done by one Dev. Bro is in a literal warzone while soloing a whole 3D RPG game.
-The Lighting was a bit too dark in the dark places and the lighting transitions are a bit bugged when going to underground levels when using the elevator.

I believe the Creator should get wayyy more support than he is receiving. He has Patreon btw. You can join the discord for updates and support from the community

I'm currently playing the open version 0.3.98a

Overall the mechanics look solid and the animations, despite having a few issues and some bugs, nothing hindered the experience. My thanks to the Dev for his hard work. You can see that the map is connected and makes sense for the most part. Some parts are confusing if you haven't explored the entire map, since in certain cases the objectives can be way below or way above, so I ask for patience from players who enjoy the +18 like the perk system. These generally take a bit to level up, but the H mode is appreciated to get the most out of the zombies when they are "dry" wink wink.

Well let's get to the point, as it is an early access, so there is still a long way to go but let's put everything in perspective, good and bad.

Good:
-Missions and submissions don't occur too far away.
- difficulty progression.
-Most perks are well defined (Wip)
-customization character
-weapon and armor customization
-variety of postures(+18)
-lighting control
-wide and interconnected map

Bad:
-ammo system (can be controversial)
- hud (it's a bit awkward)
- better define drop points.
- slow experience even at low levels

Since the +18 game has a very interesting character and weapon customization, that always adds a lot of value, and in 3D the Dev is very brave for such a feat, I will definitely buy the final game, it is worth it, just as this version is, I have been playing with 2 and 1 hand for more than a whole week xD

I love, Yuna: Teborn. It's a very nice game, I started the game with high expectations and I was not disappointed at all, I am hopeful for the future of the game, and can't wait to see the direction you bring it.

• Nice visuals overall, especially I liked the lightning
• Awesome animations with lots of variety
• I enjoyed melee combat
• In the version that I played there was no game over from sex which is good (0.3.98a)
• Beautiful character creator hopefully some built-in tattoos would be added eventually.
• Clothes tear and dirt/cum stays on the character, I wish you could wipe the cum from face only though.

• Too dark

• Needs a map compass sucked ass

Excellent game in every aspect i give it 5 stars because i am loving it and i hope to see more content from this creator really well done in every aspect of the game and the actualizations come pretty fast so that an extra plus for it 5/5

I've been enjoying playing this game and it's updates on and off for over a year. At this current point in the games development (0.3.68) it's a pretty decent game and I eagerly look forward to more. Something I particularly appreciate is the showcasing of multiple fetishes (and more than just vag and anal) without playing into / falling into the cringe that tends to come with it.

An interesting concept of the game with medieval, fantasy, and modern mix to it. As graphics and atmosphere is nice, the combat lacks balance and faster pace to it, especially for the player.

Pros:
— Graphics are great, expected for an Unreal Engine game.
— Character customization is small, but adequate.
— Vast types of skills.
— Animations are smooth and subtle, both H and everything else.
— Slightly optimized, can run it on high with 1080 and i7-9700k
— Music is enjoyable, but not a lot of it in the game.
— Intriguing inventory management.
— Extensive crafting system which allows you to craft almost anything from junk.

Cons:
— Small inventory space, hoping for some sort of bag or backpack in the future to get more space with the engineering ability.
— Unexplained controls, especially when grabbed, as the game doesn't show any tooltip on how to escape as grab.
— No option to break instead of draining health/stamina off the enemy in H mini-game.
— Overexaggerating amount of enemies, especially with how slow Judy is.
— Enemies usually ignore any stagger done by the melee and gun ability that gets enemies staggered when their limbs are broken.
— Inability to switch weapons while aiming.
— Lag when camera collides with the character.
— Lag when enemies are spawning in flocks.
— Random freezes. Can't really tell why, but surely not a PC problem.
— Nothing is voiced, but it isn't much of an issue.

Overall below average as I found slightly more cons than pros, but the game is still enjoyable. I will be patient to see where this game goes, as this review will change.

Needs full controller support. As it is currently, only the left stick functioned. Gameplay looked like it could be enjoyable, if only us controller users could control it. Other than that, the H-scenes still need work. As they sit, they are short basic animations that remind me of the early SFM porn days. For now, a 3/5 is suitable, until the aforementioned improvements are implemented.

Great dev and great game, constant updates and growing community. Bugs reports are taken seriously and communication with dev is quick.
Dev focuses on good main story and h-animations which are done very well.
Game is developing really fast taking into consideration that dev has worse conditions than many other devs that are doing far less work.

A very fun game, full of all the fun fetishes and decent 3rd person gameplay. The lack of body hair options is the only downside to an otherwise stellar game. Since it's inception, the game as undergone several upgrades and has proven worthy of the 5 star review.

Pretty fun tech demo so far. You have a story mode with two missions and you can just screw around, do whatever. Then you have arena mode, which is an endless wave survival mode. There's also a character editor that lets you customize your female mc, my only complaint is that I wish the boobs could be made larger, but I guess it's so it doesn't clip through the clothes. There's quite a lot of sex positions with the zombies, you can take off any of your MC's clothes. There's a skill tree, which unlocks more health, stamina, and a lot more. You have a lewd skill tree, which unlocks sex positions, and makes sex more effective. What I mean by that is there is a little mini game that happens when you have sex.

Once you unlock all the different types of sex moves, you choose which is effective against the zombie you're screwing (they have preferences) then you press A and D. After the bar falls to halfway, you can press space and it starts the second part of the animation and you can repeat pressing A and D.

One down side is the game is not optimized that well, so you'll need a pretty strong PC to play the game on good settings. However, you can change a lot of the performance settings, so you can definitely make it playable if you mess around with them. Another con is that zombies can hit and stun lock you to death, it's very annoying. You can press V and make it to where zombies do grab only attacks, which makes it more bearable.

In conclusion, it does have a lot of bugs and issues, but it has such good graphics and potential that it deserves a decent rating.
