No one had any expectations for amazing gameplay in the first place but it's just crazy how badly they managed to fuck (heh) up the porn. Pure and utter incompetence. Pretty much any jap eroge handles things better than these clowns did.

So at the end of it all it is still a bad video game and a bad platform for porn.

Look, I'll stick to what I've said before: if your porn game isn't so good people are skipping the porn for the gameplay it's not a good porn game.

Yep, game's not a good twin stick shooter, it's not a good XCOM ripoff and it's not a good collection of monsterfucking videos. It's got a lot of effort put in, but it needs a lot more work to make it... well, being good is a decent start.

She makes a good point that FOW did build a reputation as monster fuckers and even though I (and the mainstream audience) don't care about that specific subgenre, it's weird that they decided to compromise in a way that nobody really liked.

I'll buy it at some point because purely from a business standpoint, this is the most ambitious and highest budget porn game ever made.

So far.

Wont buy it, it is sad that they went with monster fucking, basically shooting themselves in the foot. The joke of a main character also put me off.

I finally got this for... research purposes.

It's really not what I expected. They went hardcore into the parody space opera thing, to the point where the porn seems few and far between in comparison to the endless amounts of dialogue you get.

[serious self-reflection ensues]

The porn is really not for me though.

Sounds like they got high off their own farts and thought they were Demons Roots.

That game did an amazing job of separating out the porn but it was also, you know, fun.

Expected reaction :smug: I played the torrent version for an hour when it first came out. Tiresome shmup, even worse mobile xcom sections. The writing was outdated meme cringe and the poorly voiced characters talked your ears off, this is why you don't use lewd noise actresses for an actual dialogue (imagine listening through an entire thing lol). And the porn was even worse... in a porn game, 10 second loops *facepalm*. Not to mention later they went full on dogfucking or some monster shit as usual.

I doubt anything changed in that failed formula in release version.

Still waiting for them to implement gamepad support to play it on Steam Deck :outrage:

But most likely, I'll just end up getting my steam cards and drop this soon after.
