  • story
    44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Obscurite Magie: The City of Sin" is generally considered simple and underdeveloped, serving primarily as a backdrop for explicit content rather than a compelling narrative. While some players appreciate the character interactions and occasional plot twists, many criticize the writing quality and the overall dullness of the storyline, which often feels inconsistent and flawed. Despite these shortcomings, the game's art and the option to focus on story over gameplay may appeal to those looking for a casual experience.

    • “The story isn't precisely mind-blowing, but the characters and the interactions between them—as well as the occasional plot twist—make up for it and manage to keep the player's interest.”
    • “Overall it's an interesting game, even though its story is somewhat short, but the player can enjoy playing through various events with an attractive heroine to make up for it.”
    • “Obscurite magie is a great fast and casual h-game for those who would rather focus on the art and story rather than the gameplay.”
    • “The story is quite simple and short, so there isn't much to work with, resulting in underdeveloped characters.”
    • “It's not very good, don't get me wrong: the writing is kind of terrible, the storyline is dull, and the ending doesn't make sense.”
    • “If this sounds overly simplistic, it's because it is; the main story only serves as the scantest of anchors to the multitude of explicit encounters along the way.”
  • gameplay
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it solid yet basic, and expressing a desire for more depth and development in mechanics like dungeon grinding and corruption. While the art and story are praised, the combat is often described as unbalanced and uninteresting, leading some to suggest that it could be skipped entirely. Overall, the gameplay is seen as a minor aspect of the experience, overshadowed by the visual and narrative elements.

    • “Really great art and decent game mechanics.”
    • “The art is fantastic, the story is enjoyable, and the gameplay is entertaining despite its issues.”
    • “Its gameplay is solid, and I enjoyed it, but I feel like the devs could have done more in this aspect.”
    • “The art and UI are really pretty, but the gameplay is very lackluster.”
    • “Though the vast majority of dialogue and sexual content is optional, the gameplay is but a fraction of the content.”
    • “Combat is so unbalanced and disinteresting, it might as well be removed from the game — I guess that’s why Syun-Kan Flowlighter implemented not one, but two gameplay modes to help you skip it!”
  • grinding
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect in "City of Sin" is relatively brief, lasting about 3-4 hours, and allows players to quickly become overpowered with minimal effort. While some users appreciate the ease of leveling up, there are calls for more depth in the game's mechanics, particularly regarding dungeon grinding and corruption. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a double-edged sword, offering quick progression but leaving players wanting more complexity.

    • “I do wish the game was a little longer and some of the mechanics (the dungeon grinding and corruption) were more developed.”
    • “It doesn't take much level grinding to become overpowered.”
    • “Though I chose the more difficult 'roleplay' mode, with a little grinding I plowed through every boss!”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's soundtrack has received mixed reviews; while many find the electronic music catchy and enjoyable, it is often criticized for not fitting the high fantasy setting. Despite this disconnect, players appreciate the music's ability to remain engaging and listenable over time.

    • “The soundtrack is enjoyable, but some tracks don’t fit the game’s setting.”
    • “I have mixed feelings about the soundtrack.”
    • “On the one hand, using electronic music in a high fantasy game is a weird choice and doesn't fit the game's setting, but on the other hand, the songs are so catchy I could listen to them nonstop without getting tired of them.”
    • “On the one hand, using electronic music in a high fantasy game is a weird choice and doesn't fit the game's setting, but on the other hand, the songs are so catchy I could listen to them nonstop without getting tired of them.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are characterized by high-quality Japanese artwork, which some players find appealing, but overall, the visuals may not justify the full price of the game. Many reviewers suggest that while the art gallery is a highlight, it is best appreciated during significant sales rather than at launch.

    • “The high-quality artwork is impressive and adds a lot to the overall experience.”
    • “The visuals are stunning and contribute significantly to the game's atmosphere.”
    • “Unless you plan on furiously fapping to the artwork, I can’t possibly recommend this game at full price!”
    • “If the artwork speaks to you, I think the gallery is worth unlocking on a really big sale.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by absurd situations, such as gaining an ability from a nudist that allows players to shed their clothing, which ironically prevents any explicit in-battle cutscenes from occurring. This creates a comedic contrast between the character's vulnerable state and the mundane nature of monster attacks, showcasing the game's playful approach to humor.

    • “Later on, you gain an ability from a nudist to shed your clothing completely, which is funny because it actually prevents in-battle cutscenes from occurring. There's neither a trigger indicating that you are exposed, nor one allowing you to become exposed or have your clothing ripped, so monsters will only use regular attacks despite you being in a more vulnerable state.”
