Magical Hellhound Lust

This should not have been released into early access so soon. Screen tearing, enemies that only work about half the time, nonexistent tutorials, MANDATORY local co-op (seriously, that needs to be turned off), and there's not even a proper main menu. The voice acting is also incredibly poor for any character other than Saki, as well as the pacing and complete lack of exposition.

Giving this review a thumbs up partly because I like the dev and their art. All their other games are really good. This one... it's okay. I wouldn't say it's a bad game, but damn this dev is mostly a VN and turn based combat dev and it shows. On main, I am a HUGE roguelike/lite enthusiast. I've played a lot of niche titles. This game though? it's okay. by no means the worst but there's nothing special about the gameplay. Additionally the controls are designed to be one handed, as is common with this subgenre, but it just does not work for this type of game. Also, I am aware stamina has been a big component of the 2 previous main story titles, but it should be replaced with cooldowns in my opinion. The reason bars aren't a common theme across the genre isn't because people just prefer a cool down system, but because it links back to fluidity. When you start having bars that only regen when certain conditions are met (namely mana and stamina), it always makes gameplay less predictable, Is it a skill issue? potentially. But typically in the roguelike/lite space, players are more comfortable with having cooldowns to abilities rather than a stamina bar as it provides more consistency…

The DLC doesn't work. I tried all the Steam support stuff, and reported it to the bug section, a developer replied saying that they would fix it in a day and that was weeks ago. Still no fix, and I can't return it now.

After about 22 hours of playing the game and getting all the achievements I can say that I love the game. I recommend the game. Love the music. Each world have it's own theme. Giving them even more personality and distinguishing them from one another even more than with the very different visuals. The combat feels good. All 3 of the transformations/classes have their strong and weak points playing differently. The difficulty can also be adjusted anytime so people who want challenge can still have some even at the end game and others who want to live a power fantasy will also be happy. Also there quite a good potential for speedrunning. Will probably try it. The story is good and can be enjoyed on it's own. Though playing the previous Wataponno games will give more context and make it easier to understand the relationship between some characters. The visuals are good. Like the art style and pixel art. The hentai scene and 18+ content from the free dlc are great. There is a good variety of them. There is also options for the 18+ content so one can adjust it to it's preferences. For the achievement hunting, although one should naturally get all achievements by the end of the stor…

A GREAT GAME

The art is fantastic and the main character is super cute (I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOVE HELLHOUNDS) but the story is utterly incomprehensible. Is there a prequel to this I haven't played? The feedback in combat isn't great. There's no impact to hitting enemies or getting hit yourself. The mechanics are very poorly explained. The UI looks nice, but is extremely janky - having a button to quit the game instantly always being on screen is great if you're afraid your mom will burst into your room at any moment, but extremely annoying to click on accident. I'm leaving a positive review because I believe in the game's potential, but there's a ton of room to grow before I'd really be able to have fun with it.
