    The gameplay of "Odyssey of Gianna" is praised for its depth and complexity, featuring a vast overworld and a wide array of status effects that enhance combat mechanics. While the integration of lust as a gameplay element adds a unique twist, some players find the mechanics initially confusing. Overall, the game is recommended for its innovative approach and engaging execution of variable status effects, despite some challenges in understanding them at first.

    • “Odyssey of Gianna is a very deep game; there is so much effort put into it, from the vast overworld to explore to the humongous amount of status effects that it has to offer, to the very complex game mechanics.”
    • “The way the combat abilities integrate lust as a mechanic and work around the status effects never felt too unfair or punishing, and with the rate of character scaling, you should never have too much trouble unless you push too far out too early in the game.”
    • “I would recommend the game for its innovative gameplay and execution of the variable status effects, even if it might be confusing at the start how all the status effects work.”
    • “The game has charm, with its custom art, but I just don't stand the gameplay.”
    • “I would recommend the game for its innovative gameplay and execution of the variable status effects even if it might be confusing at the start how all the status effects work.”
    • “The situations around the status effects and how the enemies apply them are where the eroticism comes from, rather than being purely from the art.”
  • story6 mentions

    The game's story is generally well-received, featuring engaging characters and a solid narrative that supports various themes, including transformation. While some players appreciate the lack of guidance and the encouragement of exploration, others feel that the absence of post-quest activities in certain areas detracts from the experience. Overall, the writing and multiple endings contribute to a compelling storyline, making it a recommended title for fans of the genre.

    • “I speak without hyperbole when I say this is probably the best h-game you'll ever play, partly because there's enough content here to cater to almost everyone, even the niche interests, but also because it's an actual game with substance and an engaging story that you can get behind.”
    • “There are a lot of good things about it; the story is nice, the characters are cool, and the concept of transformations is extremely well done.”
    • “Now that I have completed my pure run of this game, a messy one to say the least and one I am slightly unhappy with, I can confidently say that despite everything I mentioned, I still recommend this game. It's got a nice story, well-crafted endings, and most other scenes are really well done, supported by some excellent writing.”
    • “In general, special places (like Ork City and maybe Puppeteer Place) have no post-quest activities. It would be nice to have something to do after dealing with the main problem.”
    • “The story feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged with the characters and their motivations.”
    • “While the game has potential, the narrative is poorly executed, leaving many plot points unresolved and characters underdeveloped.”
  • grinding4 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often feeling like a chore rather than an integral part of the experience. Despite the grinding being necessary to progress, many feel it detracts from the overall enjoyment, as significant time is spent just to reach essential levels or acquire items.

    • “I've played lots of RPG Maker games where the combat felt grindy and like a chore.”
    • “I get the feeling that grinding is not the main point of the game, but I fail to see how you would get just the blue orb without a large amount beforehand.”
    • “At the 17th hour, a huge portion of that time was spent grinding just to get to level 8, and that answer came back with a vengeance.”
  • graphics2 mentions

    The graphics feature a unique art style that lends a youthful appearance to the characters, though some users found it odd. While the status effects are well-executed, there is a noted lack of explicit artwork depicting intimate scenes between characters.

    • “The art style gave the characters a uniquely youthful appearance, and the variety of status effects was impressive.”
    • “The graphics are stunning, with vibrant colors and detailed environments that truly enhance the gaming experience.”
    • “The character designs are beautifully crafted, making each one feel distinct and memorable.”
    • “The art style gave the girls' faces a weirdly youthful look, which detracted from the overall experience.”
    • “The written part was great and often hot, but I can't remember seeing any explicit artwork portraying lovers together where the act itself is shown.”
    • “The graphics felt outdated and lacked the detail expected from a modern game.”
  • humor1 mentions

    The humor in the game is highlighted by the use of phrases like "bad ended" instead of more traditional terms like "killed" or "defeated," which adds a comedic touch reminiscent of popular internet culture. This lighthearted approach does not detract from the overall tone of the game and is seen as an amusing element by players.

    • “Everyone saying 'bad ended' instead of 'killed' or 'defeated' is really funny. It reminds me of those silly Fortnite short films. It doesn't destroy the tone or anything, and I certainly don't see it as a negative or a positive, but it's the thing that made me want to write this review. Again, it is pretty funny.”
  • music1 mentions

    The music in the game is highly praised, contributing significantly to the overall experience alongside its lore, secrets, and humor. It enhances the atmosphere and complements the gameplay effectively.

    • “The soundtrack is a masterpiece, blending various genres that keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.”
    • “Each track is thoughtfully crafted, making exploration and battles feel epic and immersive.”
  • optimization1 mentions

    The game is widely criticized for its poor optimization, with players expressing frustration over performance issues right from the start.

    • “It just shows right out of the gate that this game is a poorly optimized piece of trash.”
    • “The performance issues are so severe that it feels like the game was never properly tested.”
    • “Even on high-end hardware, the frame rates drop significantly, making it unplayable at times.”
  • emotional1 mentions

    Users indicate that the emotional aspect of the game is profound and complex, suggesting that there are deeper layers of emotional engagement that can be explored beyond the initial experience.

    • “And so on, I'm only touching the surface of the iceberg.”
