The story of "Melty's Quest" is a mix of absurdity and humor, featuring a lighthearted narrative about a princess on a quest to save her sisters and rebuild her castle, intertwined with explicit adult content. While some players find the plot engaging and well-written, others criticize it for being overly simplistic or distasteful, with themes that can be disturbing. Overall, the game offers multiple endings and side quests that enhance replayability, making it a notable entry in the eroge genre despite its polarizing elements.
“Surprisingly good story for an erotic RPG, with combat and character upgrade systems that further flesh it out and make you want to keep playing.”
“Overall, Melty's Quest is a well-made game that has surprised me with unexpected depth time and time again.”
“The story is pretty straightforward and features some twists, plus it has multiple endings you unlock depending on how lewd Melty is by the time you defeat the final boss.”
“If you do manage to slog through the initial premise of this game, the story just gets worse and worse because towards the end it is revealed that the protagonist's sister has an obsession with her mom and openly fantasizes about having sex with her.”
“The dialog is so incredibly corny and the storyline is so disgusting and stupid that it feels like a twelve-year-old wrote it.”
“The basic game is okay, but nothing special, and the sexual part is based primarily on sexual assault whenever you lose, and the story parts that are not you get little to no control over whether to engage in or not.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its fun mechanics, engaging RPG elements, and the integration of adult content into gameplay, while others criticize it for being grindy, repetitive, and lacking depth. Many appreciate the unique features like the outfit-based skill system and the ability to unlock new content through exploration, but some found the overall experience tedious and not particularly innovative compared to other RPGs. Overall, while the game offers a decent amount of content and enjoyable mechanics, it may not satisfy those looking for a more profound gameplay experience.
“100s of hours of gameplay with lots of new stuff available in new game plus!”
“A hentai game that actually has good gameplay and a battle system, and trust me that is rare.”
“It's difficult to find h-games that don't sacrifice gameplay/game enjoyment for h, but Melty's Quest balances them perfectly, offering a good combination of enjoyable gameplay and h-content where neither overshadows the other.”
“The gameplay is so grindy and tedious that I gave up playing honestly after starting the new game + mode, and just edited my save file to give me all the stuff the game forces you to spend hours grinding for… and it still felt like a waste of my time.”
“The gameplay does not have much to it.”
“The writing is decent, the gameplay is straightforward, but none of them elevate the core gameplay much above dull, uninspired RPG Maker combat.”

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the stunning and detailed artwork, particularly in the h-scenes, while others note that the overall graphical quality is typical for RPG Maker titles. Players appreciate the art style and the variety of fetishes depicted, although some feel that the animated content is lacking. Overall, the visuals are considered a strong point of the game, contributing significantly to its appeal.
“I really enjoy Rem's art style; everything looks nice and is very detailed and well animated.”
“The graphics are good, it runs smoothly, has a great storyline, and good characters that are funny and endearing. The h-scenes are plenty and fun to go through and look at!”
“Meltys Quest is the best adult-only game I've played, with decent turn-based RPG gameplay, and stellar graphics, writing, and worldbuilding, as well as a large variety of kinks present.”
“In terms of graphics, the CGs and other sexually related scenes are below par in my opinion (not saying they are bad, just seen better), but the dialogues are interesting to read.”
“But the final straw for this is that all this 'hard work' that the author says he put in didn't even work at first until I rebooted it and fixed the graphical glitches of Melty's body not showing up, the hardness selection screen remaining on during the game, and the lag and poor response time.”
“The gameplay is meh, art style is meh.”

The reviews indicate that grinding in the game varies significantly in intensity, with some players finding it tedious and time-consuming, particularly when farming for low-probability drops or during multiple playthroughs.

“It's tedious picking items up off the ground over and over, and farming enemies for drops when no drop is guaranteed can wind up taking far more time than it should.”
“To get the best weapons, you need to grind enemies for their low-probability drops so that your next run through the game is less tedious.”

The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent freezes and crashes, particularly on less powerful systems, leading to lost progress due to the lack of an auto-save feature. While some players experienced minor glitches that were not game-breaking, others faced significant issues that required restarting the game. Overall, the game appears to have stability problems that detract from the experience, despite some improvements noted after system upgrades.
“No glitches whatsoever.”
“The game runs smoothly without any crashes.”
“I haven't experienced any bugs or issues during my playthrough.”
“Hard to give an honest review when this game has a really bad bug where it freezes and the only thing to do is close the game and restart. It doesn't sound bad until you realize that this game might as well be a poorly ported Game Boy Advance SP game that doesn't have an auto-save feature, so you can kiss all the progress goodbye.”
“I have a rig that cost almost $2,000.00, and there's no way Melty's Quest is going to bog it down, but there have been a handful of times now that I have had to force restart the game because it just freezes up and won't respond.”
“Though, some glitches relating to saves corrupting have caught me off guard before.”
