  • gameplay117 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, with some players praising its responsive controls, solid mechanics, and challenging platforming elements, while others criticize it for being overly simplistic, short, and occasionally frustrating due to design choices like distant checkpoints. Many agree that the adult content is well-integrated, enhancing the experience for those interested, but some feel that the gameplay alone lacks depth and replay value. Overall, it offers a decent platforming experience, especially for a lewd game, but may not satisfy those seeking a more robust gameplay challenge.

    • “Pretty cute game with surprisingly responsive gameplay and some incredible pixel animations.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and feels responsive, but it did kind of feel unfairly hard because of the distance between checkpoints.”
    • “Came for the hentai, stayed for the gameplay.”
    • “Quality is significantly worse in terms of graphics and gameplay.”
    • “Considering the short overall gameplay of only three levels and the cheapshot attacks you have to try to dodge or otherwise you get stun-locked and die, I am glad that this game came in a bundle at a discount because otherwise I would immediately ask for a refund as this game is, in my eyes, a hair's breadth away from unplayable.”
    • “The gameplay, as expected from a hentai game, is very poorly made and unfair.”
  • graphics50 mentions

    The graphics of the game are characterized by charming pixel art and smooth animations, which many players find appealing and reminiscent of classic titles.

    • “The game has a couple of charming animations and I adore the art style.”
    • “Eroico boasts nice pixel-art visuals in its four distinct locations, and a good, at-least-passable soundtrack.”
    • “Graphics were remarkable for a 16-bit game; I absolutely love the visuals and how hard the developer worked on making this type of fluid animation that other games can't replicate.”
    • “Quality is significantly worse in terms of graphics and gameplay.”
    • “If you look at the artwork, it's fine; but if you look at the pixel art, it's blurry as heck.”
    • “Graphics and animations seem very lazy.”
  • story44 mentions

    The story in "eroico" is largely criticized for its minimal presence, with many reviewers noting the absence of a coherent narrative or character development. While some players found the gameplay enjoyable despite the lack of story, others expressed a desire for more context, cutscenes, and character backstory to enhance the experience. Overall, the game is seen as a straightforward platformer that prioritizes gameplay over storytelling, leaving much to be desired in terms of narrative depth.

    • “This game was great for story, detail, and animation for everything. The boss fights for level one and three were easy, but for level two, it was just what a boss fight is. Great job on this amazing pixel game!”
    • “For what I can gather, the story begins when our hero is sent to the forest to find the monster queen and discover what happened to the creatures that made them the way they are, from fairies to plants, dragons, lizards, and the catgirls and slimes roaming about.”
    • “This game is amazing and has potential. I encourage the developer to make another one of these so we can all enjoy how beautifully made a game can be, just with more story and context, please.”
    • “There's also no real story, not even any cutscenes.”
    • “What I dislike about this game is we simply jump into the game with really no story; we don't know anything about our hero other than all the enemies want his d.”
    • “The game has no story at all.”
  • music29 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its fit with the levels and highlighting standout tracks, particularly in the main menu and boss stages. While many found the soundtrack enjoyable and fitting for the gameplay, others felt it lacked variety and could benefit from customization options. Overall, the music is generally considered decent, with a few standout pieces elevating the experience.

    • “Music fits in well with the levels and the sound effects are quite nice.”
    • “Eroico boasts nice pixel-art visuals in its four distinct locations, and a good, at least passable soundtrack (I'd like to note that the boss theme is actually very, very good).”
    • “Despite the simple and comical cartoony graphics and gameplay, the game has nice, pleasant, and stirring background music during appropriate moments in the game, and a nice amount of variety in the type of monster girls, environment, and artwork.”
    • “Music & sound: 5/10”
    • “However, I feel that the game could have used a better soundtrack (or perhaps the ability to customize the music that plays in the levels) just because I am long since tired of that forest level music.”
    • “The music is generic, but then again, this is a hentai game.”
  • humor10 mentions

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its funny animations and lighthearted moments, blending retro aesthetics with playful adult content.

    • “A good hour or two of fun with some degree of replayability.”
    • “The only way to jack up a game's replayability was to make harder difficulties.”
    • “Art is boring, even the pixel art. Gameplay is rubbish, it has no replay value and only 3 levels.”
    • “I easily beat the game in a little over an hour, and with no achievements and so few scenes to unlock, the replay value is pretty limited.”
    • “For real, you can finish this game in less than 40 minutes and it doesn't have any replayability.”
  • grinding6 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, often requiring 60-100 hours to progress, which some describe as tedious and frustrating, especially due to long recovery times. While the hentai content is appreciated, many feel it doesn't justify the effort needed to unlock it.
