    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. First up, this game is *short*. You have to complete it to unlock the sex bit, but that'll probably only take an hour -- there are only a handful of quests, and they're all "go here and kill the X" (five goblins, ten spiders, that sort of deal) so it's not exactly an epic journey. (Although more on that later.)

    As far as general gameplay goes combat is janky as heck -- ranged attacks are next to useless, and the only magic skills that are worth using are the defence/attack increase buffs, and maybe the heal. Enemy difficulty is all over the place and doesn't seem to ramp up in any sensible fashion; some of the enemies in the starting area are tougher than those leading up to the, er, climax, but it's all kind of moot anyway because if you die you can just click "Retry" which will take you to your last save location with full health, but enemies will stay dead or damaged. (Word of advice: the game doesn't make it clear, but if you press C when you level up you can spend points to improve your base stats, and K to buy a new skill. Where the "expansive and deep talent tree" the Steam page mentions got to, though, I don't know. The usual fire/ice/lightning spells with a couple of varieties of each, and some buffs, but you can more or less unlock them in whatever order you want, most of them are so poorly implemented as to be useless, and you'll have acquired them all within 45 minutes.)

    There's also not a lot in the way of gear, most of it is useless, and because the only shop is in the hub and all the "late" game quests are in a completely different area you'll probably find you don't actually get round to buying any upgrades at all -- I finished the game with the starting gear with no issues at all.

    Graphically it's a mixed bag; your character is a decent enough model but her running animation is just WEIRD, and some of the enemy models are actually pretty nice, but they're obviously all assets from the Unity store because there's no real consistency -- some are quite cartoony (cacti hopping round in plant pots), others aim for realism, and a couple look like they belong in WoW. The opening area has a decent enough aesthetic sense, but the main areas of the game are kind of flat and lifeless.

    Performance is utterly abysmal. It suggests a GTX1080 as a *minimum* spec, but there's nothing in this game to justify that as a requirement. I can hit 60FPS in something like AC Odyssey at close to max settings, but despite the relative simplicity of the graphics this game lurches between 20 and 40 seemingly at random and as far as I can make out there are no options to adjust -- your HUD has a button that *looks* like it should bring up a settings menu, but the only way of clicking on it is to talk to an NPC to give you a mouse cursor, but it does nothing at all anyway so it's not worth trying. (There are three other buttons on the HUD that are similarly non-functional, plus a massive red circle that seems to serve no purpose.)

    Once you get to the "fully interactive and adult uncensored sex scene", it's just like an Illusion game only worse -- there's a lot of wonky geometry on the models in certain poses, the animations are stiff and awkward, and it's not even as interactive as something like Honey Select -- change positions, adjust speed, that's it. The money shot is probably the most graphically and technically accomplished part of the game, but activating it triggers a loading bar which breaks what little immersion there was. Sexy it ain't. (Oh, and the female model used in the sex scene bears no resemblance at all to the model used in the rest of the game.)

    Now about that "epic quest", or lack of it. About an hour in I had killed a big bad which the quest-giver had implied would allow me to move on to the next area, and when I turned the quest in I was warned of the dangers that lie ahead. I headed through the door and a screen came up saying "Prologue, blah blah, story exposition" so I thought "ah, this was just the tutorial then, OK, that explains the lack of anything substantial", but no, that's it, that's the end. Maybe they planned on doing more but couldn't be bothered? The title screen also gives the impression that they'd planned to include a character creator of some sort but abandoned it which gives the me a suspicion of they started out just trying to make a regular RPG, realised it was going to take forever, couldn't be bothered to persevere, and just slapped a sex scene at the end in an attempt to lure people into buying it.

    Anyway, even at the current 35% off I wouldn't waste my money. There's probably the core of a very simple and mindless budget RPG in there somewhere, but the sheer half-assedness of what you're actually getting means fi you spend any more than £1 on this you're a mug. (Disclaimer: I paid zero for it.)    … Full Review »
