  • gameplay86 mentions

Players appreciate the variety of weapons, upgrade systems, and thematic boss fights, although some note issues with controls and repetitiveness. Overall, while not without flaws, the gameplay stands out positively, especially within the context of adult games.

    • “Good gameplay with a few bugs - a rogue-like dungeon crawler with a variety of weapons that you can use and upgrade at will to fit the situation.”
    • “The big selection of weapons, how differently some weapon types work, the upgrade and weapon evolving system, and the ability to go back to a previous stage as a long form treasure hunt are all fun gameplay factors.”
    • “Enjoyable gameplay that reminds me of old-school Zelda games makes this one an easy recommend.”
    • “The gameplay was way different than other games in this genre, essentially RPG Maker turned into a roguelike RPG arcade style game.”
    • “The gameplay's tolerable, but repetitive and somewhat pointless.”
    • “It's way too time consuming; the gameplay would be substandard for the genre in any other setting except eroge; the h-content feels bolted-on and superficial.”
  • grinding20 mentions

    Reviews indicate that grinding in the game can be both tedious and enjoyable, with some players finding it necessary for progression while others feel it detracts from the experience. Many noted that while grinding can enhance character strength and unlock additional content, it often becomes repetitive and time-consuming, with some players completing the game without engaging in it extensively. Overall, the necessity and enjoyment of grinding vary significantly among players, with some appreciating the depth it adds and others wishing for a more streamlined experience.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “It was fun at times but definitely more tedious after a couple of hours as the creativity is pretty much all set from the get-go.”
    • “This game is okay enough for someone who doesn't really enjoy a game where you need to grind to get stronger; after all, I've finished this game in about 2 and a half hours without farming anything and only doing the main quest, but you can spend around 4-5 hours in this game if you decide to do side quests and other things.”
  • graphics20 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally well-received, featuring a charming art style and solid animations that enhance the overall experience.

    • “I guess I need to invest in a better PC if I can't even play a game of this level of graphics properly...”
  • emotional10 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by its heartwarming and wholesome story, which resonates well with players, particularly through the positive attitudes of the main characters. While some reviewers suggest that the vanilla version lacks depth, the addition of the r-18 patch enhances the experience, making it more engaging and enjoyable. Overall, the narrative is praised for its humor and emotional impact, earning a recommendation from players.

    • “The story is great, very heartwarming.”
    • “I recommend this game; not only is it funny, it has a great and heartwarming story.”
    • “The story, while short, was very wholesome and I really liked it.”
  • stability10 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent stutters, frame drops, and freezes that disrupt gameplay and affect hit detection. Players report that the game becomes less responsive over time, particularly during intense moments or new content, leading to frustrating interruptions and the need for frequent saving attempts. Overall, the experience is marred by persistent bugs and performance problems.

    • “There's frequent stutters, frame drops, and freezes, and pauses throughout the game - often messing the already substandard hit detection.”
    • “Yes, it is buggy--it slows down and becomes less responsive to input as you play during a single session.”
    • “It constantly freezes for me, seemingly only during the new parts, which means every 1-2 minutes I have to try and save, which you can't just do from the menu screen.”
  • music10 mentions

    The music in the game is highly praised for enhancing the emotional experience during cut scenes and providing an engaging atmosphere during exploration and combat. While some sounds may feel like stock audio, the overall composition effectively complements the narrative and art, creating a memorable auditory experience.

    • “It's a cool world with pretty great music to listen to while you explore it.”
    • “The sound is nice and the music hits the right tones, making you feel emotions in cut scenes, giving you the right vibe for the romps, but also able to let you zone out in combat into a rhythm for hours, just hitting things with your favorite pointy object. The music is an OST, and while the sounds seem like stock sounds, the ones they chose make me smile when I hit something and wince when the main girl catches a well-placed slap.”
    • “Compositionally, the narrative themes, art, and music are fantastic.”
    • “Too much music.”
  • optimization6 mentions

    The game's optimization has been criticized for significant performance issues, with players noting that toggling the frame limit did not resolve stuttering problems. While the story and overall design are commendable, the combat and controls feel stiff, further highlighting the game's poor optimization.

    • “Toggling the frame limit to 'on' did not fix the issue - and I couldn't be bothered to turn on a framerate monitor and wander around an area that wasn't stuttering to confirm whether or not it was actually working.”
    • “Sure, the combat and controls are a bit stiff, and the game itself is optimized quite poorly at times, but the quality of the story writing and the game, which was made by an RPG Maker, is somewhat impressive.”
    • “But the biggest flaw in my opinion between the patched and unpatched version of the game would be the performance issues.”
