- The game features a charming Gameboy retro aesthetic and sound design that captures the nostalgic feel of classic RPGs.
- The gameplay offers a mix of exploration and combat reminiscent of titles like Final Fantasy Adventure and Zelda, with a variety of weapons and spells to unlock.
- The narrative presents a unique twist on the damsel in distress trope, focusing on the protagonist's quest to save her sister while navigating her own dark desires.
- The combat mechanics are clunky and frustrating, with inconsistent hit detection and random damage values that detract from the overall experience.
- The game lacks depth and can feel linear and dull, with basic and uninteresting screens that make replaying sections tedious.
- The adult content is over-advertised and includes themes that may not appeal to all players, leading to disappointment for those expecting more traditional erotic content.

The gameplay is generally described as fun and addictive, featuring simple mechanics reminiscent of classic Game Boy titles, with a strong focus on combat and weapon progression. While some players find the grind-heavy nature off-putting, others appreciate the nostalgic feel and engaging mechanics that evoke games like The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy Adventure. However, the excessive emphasis on NSFW content detracts from the overall experience for some users.
“This is the type of game where you don't care about the story and just focus on the gameplay.”
“The gameplay incorporates the use of obtaining new weapons to unlock the next parts of the game, effectively giving you more weapon choices as you progress through the game.”
“The game has a strong focus on fighting but the mechanics are so well made that it never gets boring.”
“But if the gameplay is also bad, then it's not worth your time even at a discounted price.”
“The gameplay compared to Tower of Succubus and Sword of Succubus is very grind-heavy, so if you wanted a nice game where you might get to see some booba and animations from the enemies, not really the case unless you get hit, die, or get grabbed by a boss.”
“The gameplay is fairly basic and no more complex than your standard 1990's Game Boy title.”

The graphics of "Slave Princess Sarah" are praised for their authentic Game Boy aesthetic, capturing the nostalgic charm of retro visuals and sound design. However, some users noted issues such as flickering shadows, screen tearing, and a lack of polish that detracts from the overall experience. While the color palette effectively mimics Game Boy graphics, it may not be visually appealing for extended play sessions, and the contrast between cutesy designs and more mature elements can feel jarring.
“I instantly fell in love with the Game Boy inspired aesthetic and thoroughly enjoyed my playtime of Slave Princess Sarah.”
“The music and Game Boy graphics are super duper.”
“Despite its authenticity in the Game Boy aesthetic, flickering shadows beneath character sprites as well as odd in-between frames for some monsters make it look a little unpolished.”
“The graphics are those of a Game Boy game; however, they are very well made.”
“They nail the Game Boy aesthetic, though I probably would prefer something with color.”

The game's story is generally considered short and unremarkable, often overshadowed by gameplay mechanics and adult themes. While it can be completed in under eight hours, players note that it lacks depth and complexity, appealing primarily to those who enjoy retro-style RPGs. Overall, the narrative is described as typical, with little emphasis on storytelling beyond the basic quest to defeat the orc king.
“It is fairly short and can be beaten in less than 8 hours, but it feels like an appropriate length for this game's story.”
“This is a role-playing game with a short but interesting story.”
“Once you get the hang of things, it moves along through the story quickly, and within a few hours you're all done.”
“This is the type of game where you don't care about the story and just focus on the gameplay.”
“Since this is an adult title, that's an essential throwback to the Game Boy days, don't expect there to be a deep story.”
“The text is stylized in a way that makes it quite difficult to read, the quest system is needlessly restrictive, the combat feels stiff and odd, ultimately the only appeal it has is Sarah's jiggling cut-ins when she takes damage, which, ignoring the obvious issues with a game that wants you to get your main enjoyment from ogling slave girls, are actually distracting from the game anyway.”

The music and sound design effectively embody the Game Boy aesthetic, particularly enhancing the overworld theme. While the soundtrack is praised for its quality, it tends to become repetitive, a characteristic reminiscent of many games from that era. Overall, the music is well-received but may wear on players over extended play sessions.
“The OST and sound design perfectly capture and complement the Game Boy aesthetic, especially the overworld theme.”
“The music and Game Boy graphics are super duper.”
“However, the music - even though it is good - gets a little repetitive over time.”
“The music is a bit repetitive, but honestly that's something that is consistent with that time frame for a fair number of games on the Game Boy.”
“The music alone is damaging.”

The game suffers from significant glitches that detract from the overall experience, leading some users to question its value, especially given its short playtime of four hours.
“A four-hour game with some bad glitches is not worth $17.49 Canadian, even if you like the type of hentai the story is derived from.”
“However, I will warn anyone playing this about some glitches.”
