The game itself is quite good and interesting. My problem was the usability of the weapons and switching their modes during fights. I found that very difficult. In the end I also used nearly always the same weapons: Grenade/RPG, Sword and Railgun. The story itself was very interesting. But I did not like the "Slideshow" style of the story telling. The game is long ... you have a lot of different locations and secrets. A remake with better graphics and reworked weapons would be really cool.
This is a copy of Darkest Dungeon with a slightly different setting. But it is missing a ton of the content Darkest Dungeon has. In example: you cannot levelup anything. You just select some random guys for the run and use your 2 attacks and push through the enemies or die because of bad luck. This game somehow relies more on luck then DD. I thought this is impossible but here we are. But okay, this is not DD so ... I liked the art. It was pretty cool and well done. The story also seems to be promising. Unluckily I did not get any achievements (I guess the game is just broken) although I already found multiple costumes, did side quests and finished the first boss. But still 0% achievements. Even the one which you get just right after getting into the town. I dislike the game because of missing content/features and an inconsistent art. While the levels are cool etc. the map is a nightmare. The character on the map is drawn in a kind of "chibi" style. It just does not fit into the flair of the game at all. There are also no names on the map so you never know where you are going to. Navigation is pretty bad. There is no shortcut to put all stuff into your chest. So you have to click a lot. You and your team do not heal automatically after entering the city ... you need to go to your room and sleep. But it is a very unnecessary step. Fights are somehow unfair in some cases. If your enemies randomly are all counters to your team: gg well played. Sometimes you run into several camps in a row (for healing etc.) and then in the final moments you don't and die although your inventory is full of healing potions. You cannot use any item until you are at a camp. There are more such inconsistencies. It just looks like it was not worked out to the end and then just published. And since nobody cares about it anymore, it is not patched. Etc. To be honest: I don't see any point/entertainment in playing this game. But the art and sound is good.
I wanted to try the game but can't start it. Running the game always end up with an exception regarding missing assemblies (*.dll files). "d3dx9_43.dll" and "X3DAudio1_7.dll". Tried several things on the internet but none worked. So I guess you should stay away. I also do not like that gog somehow throws in games sometimes which just do not work nowadays. I had similar issue with "Dark Reign"(?) or was it Earth 2140? But if anybody finds a way to run it, tell me please.
The game itself is nothing special. I finished it in 2 days with the kids. The german voiceover was mediocre. Especially the voice of the boy was annoying. I was not really entertained by that game. It was just very similar to "Rime".
I found the review from octubre21 pretty good. I think he/she mentioned nearly everything important. Especially for newcomers like me. But I wanted to try this game, since I thouhgt "hey, erotic stuff + action". But to be honest for me it is neither one thing nor the other. So in this point I will review this totally different. The graphics of the game are in general totally outdated, also the environment and textures are like games from 1990. I also reduced (afterwards) the graphic settings to lowest since I had some strange issues with frame drops. And even on the highest settings the game just looks "mediocre" at best. The dialogs and story is as cringe as it can get in these type of games. Sorry, but sometimes I am just wondering why they add a story at all. The characters are well done but the sex stuff is just simple. You can find way better stuff online for free. This is where it triggers me the most. After all the time and all the other ero games which exist, they still keep it so simple in animation and details ... it is just frustrating. The details/bounciness of breasts in example ... the buckling on some body parts ... really low level stuff. The mini games are partially really expensive and some of them just make no real sense like this "jump into the water" game. Come on ... what is this nonsense shit? It is same for other games like Succubus. You expect to get nudity and action but in the end it fails both. I am really disappointed with Succubus. Let's see if some day something really good will occur. I don't think this game is a 5/5 ... never man. Best 4/5.
I liked the game pretty much. Can't remember about the ads in game, but I think there were some in the main menu of the game (same for warhammer 40k mechanicus, there is an add/link for mechanicus 2 in the main menu). This makes games look pretty ugly in my opinion. But now to the game. I got nearly all achievements except 1. This is usually not the case for me since I hate the whole achievement system in the games. But this one was fair and still challenging. I liked the graphics, they are way better then in "Surviving the Aftermath". The difficulty of the game is still high in the beginning since you can f*ck up pretty much and it is hard to fix your mistakes. But it is possible. The management of the people and buildings was pretty nice and everything else too. All the stuff you have to research, all the events and resources you need to gather. But yes, it can be very difficult in some places. I think if you don't like "long running" games like "Surviving the Aftermath" or "Surviving Mars" etc. then you should stay away from this game. But if you like base building and management with some challenges then this is the right thing for you. But as others mentioned: it does not matter how good your colony is, the mechanics do not really allow you creating a second colony on the other end of the map. I tried. The problem is that your people are assigned to the buildings where they work and live. This way they can be playced on the opposing sides of the map. Your people will never make it in time to their work and then everything starts to fall apart. I think the reviews giving it less then 3/5 are not fair. This game is easily a 3/5.
The game is pretty similar to "Endzone" but with older graphics. I also had 3 crashes in a row, but I think this is due a special quests since after finishing the sidequest I never had any issues again. I hate games with their own special launcher which makes everything annoying but there are instructions online how to get rid of the paradox launcher (it was pretty easy to do). About the game: as said before, this looks like a clone of Endzone (or vice versa). The buildings are nearly the same, the production line too etc. I think the only real difference is the world map and the specialists. The specialists are kind of super units which can build/collect and fight faster. You also use them on the world map to discover new territories. I liked that aspect. Was pretty nice (reminds me on civilization - hexagon map etc.). The difficultiy is quite good. But since I played this type of game before, I knew what to do. But I bet newcomers will die quite often. I only did the main campaign. I liked the idea that you need to discover your local map too and clean up all the waste and destroy the nests of the insects. Especially since you had first to research all this and this took quite some time. So you had to deal with the enemies in parallel to the catasrophes which occured here and there. There were moments where I wanted to give up ... but in the end ... this is the purpose of such a survival game, right? Just continue and try to find a solution. So I did and it worked. I give this 4/5. I read other reviews comparing it to "Banished" ... yes, I played Banished too. But I think these both games are quite different. It's like comparing Civilization and Cities:Skylines/SimCity. They are similar but still different. My ranking here is: 1. Endzone 2. Frostpunk 3. Surviving Mars 4. Surviving the Aftermath
Using the patch you can get some funny pixel pr0n. But in the end ... it is just annoying walking around etc. If you are looking for some good game containing some nudity and a good story, then go for "Lust from Beyond" (not the M Edition!). In this game here, the final scenes with the girl's friends were quite funny. But in the end: would I recommend it to anybody? No. It is just too "stupid". It is not really interesting. You are walking most of the time and trying to solve some puzzles. But neither the story nor the 18+ content is worth it.
The idea of moving squads around in a tower defense game is at least something new to me. But the controls were too bad for this. The fast morphing and selecting targets without pause mode is really heavy. But in the end I liked the series and the story. I think ... there is more potential to this type of game. But it needs some changes here and there (tech tree i.e.) But it was funny playing this.
