Hero's Harem Guild

This week, I'll be reviewing another game I have experience with in the past.  This game feels like it falls somewhere between Visual Novel and Point and Click Adventure, but it definitely leans more towards VN.  Normally, when I try VN's, they end up being poorly written, uninteresting, and are really just sex scenes linked together with whatever excuse of a story they could come up with in 5 minutes.  The result often feels like those poorly written porn movies that are a few terribly acted scenes that lead into a forced feeling sex scene.  But that's what makes this game that much more special.  Welcome to Hero's Harem Guild.


So just to preface this, the game is in alpha and is only finished up to the end of the prologue.  But the game is massive for just what it is.  I already know the game and had to start over to get the screenshots due to losing a lot of my pre-work, and I've barely scratched the surface of the story at this point.  The gameplay is mainly your standard fare of going through story, but where most VN's often chug along and offer you a choice once in a while, this one tosses that out the window.  Once you clear the "prologue" of the prologue, you've become a hero in a town and it's up to you to decide what you do and how you do it.  You'll wander around, collecting items, meeting characters, and doing quests.


Throughout the game, you'll become invested in the characters, each with their own histories, backstories, and reasons for acting a way that they do.  Each girl who joins will also have their own goals and obstacles that you can help them overcome.  Now, the big aspect of the game is money and you've got a myriad of ways to obtain it, from quests you can pick up, collecting and selling items, fishing, or even using the Job Board to assign members of your guild to work where they can get money or items.




That said, there are a few issues I have but are often very minor.  Mainly, some dialogue is full of grammatical errors and misspellings and some scenes have notable clipping errors like a girls arm going straight through her own breast.  But the game is still in Alpha and has a very active community on Discord, so I'm sure it'll get fixed over time.  And while I'm not entirely sure on all the music, I do know that one particular scene ripped off music from RWBY, having the song "Caffeine".  It may just be placeholder (and honestly, does fit the scene very well), but I figured I'd add that in here as well.


As far as graphics and story are concerned, the game does very well, the visual style is still, yet animated at the same time so it's got some life to it and the story is well written (just needs some editing touch-ups) and when you're looking for a VN, those are the two big elements that make or break a game.  The game is definitely worth checking out.  You'll laugh at chickens faster than a speeding arrow, you'll cry when characters reveal a dark part of their history, you'll seek out the mysteries and wonder why certain things happen at certain moments.  The game is big for just a "prologue" and you'll definitely not regret giving this one a shot.

Degrees of Lewdity

Today's review is a going to be a total re-write of the first review I ever did on my Discord server and the first game that was so good that it made me want to start writing reviews in the first place.  Funnily enough, it comes from Blogger as well (a fact I forgot until I started writing this review) so you won't be going far to get it. Anyways, without further ado, let's get into my review of the game Degrees of Lewdity. This little game may seem unassuming at first, but of all the games I've played when I began writing reviews for my Discord, it's still one of my absolute favorites. The person working on this game adds content so regularly that I often have to check to see what's new or changed and I'm always excited to see the new updates.  I still play this game because of how fun it is and I'm still working on my first save for the game.  Also for this review, I'll be talking about the game itself in its current state, and I'd like to poin...

Dandy Boy Adventures

This one is for those of us who played the older Flash games that used to crop up and has a solid story and well done art.  Today I'll be showcasing Dandy Boy Adventures.  So for those who knew the era, sites like Newgrounds and 2Adultflashgames used to be solid places to find your fix in terms of adult content in game form.  Most of it was essentially just "Click her here, increase orgasm meter" or "Run and avoid (or don't) monsters by jumping and ducking".  While a lot of these are still very much present in the scene, there were a few that focused on making us actually... well, WORK for the pictures.  I mean, it's not much of a reward if all you do is click a few buttons (or not).  Anyways, this would culminate into a series of tasks like an RPG, leading you to find items to solve puzzles to get your hands on some images.  And DBA does this formula very well. I've seen a few attempts, often RPG Maker games with poor quality images, bad music, and ...

Degrees of Lewdity 2nd Review

Image
       After much time has passed, I believe the best place to start is where it all began. The first game I fell in love with that opened up this doorway to where I began seeking games and communities full of people who enjoyed the artistry (and degeneracy) of the adult gaming scene. In pursuing these types of games, I learned more about myself in the past few years than I had for the earlier parts of my life. All were an experience I would never regret. But would this game prove to hold it's position?     Yes. Plain and simple, with a solid community working together, building new and fun features, this game absolutely has been the pinnacle of the adult gaming scene. With a diverse cast of characters, various skills, many, many paths to follow, and more lewdness than you can shake a stick it, this is one of the few games to balance gameplay, story, and sexual content in such a way that it doesn't matter how you play it, you'll find your own path and enjoy...
