It took me a long while to get to writing a review, because all of my thoughts were quite pragmatic: music, gameplay, pacing, bugs, mechanics... while the game itself is about naked men with flopping schlongs. And here is a small story about that: I wanted to get myself a few games. I was in the mood for isometric mature ones, akin to Tyranny, for example, or older BG. Not a whimsical fantasy story about Disney princess saving the unicorn world, but something gritty, bloody, and real. Among many, this one popped in, and being a sucker for pixel art too, I got it without looking into content warnings: that it is largely gay, quite sexual, and provocative; and I'm quite a frigid straight dude, as far away from its target audience as it gets. However, that did not in any way take away from the enjoyment. It is fast-paced, simple and kind of dynamic, very old-school. Enough activities and mechanics to keep you occupied, but not complex enough to overwhelm you. The world is huge for a one-man team, I applaud the creator. Music is very fitting, albeit it mostly free (I think I've heard most of the tracks before) and the style is lovely. I did enjoy the main story very much, as well as numerous side quests and follower activities, and I cannot stress enough how well the characters are written. I believed they were real. They have personalities, and stories - not just a cardboard cutouts to check the token [insert a minority] box we so often see in these "triple-a" games, - this was so extremely pleasant to read and experience. I got pulled back into nostalgic old days of BG1 and 2, Arcanum, Fallout, all those beautiful overly developed worlds that feel real. While it felt kind of silly travelling alongside with a demon whose dісk was as big as my PC, I really have nothing bad to say about this game, however picky I am. I wish all the best to the dev, and hope they will make many other great games like this one, maybe even assemble a team to do great things together. If you ever need a bit of help from ye olden days game designer, I'd be happy to help, you are amazing.

I Have played 30 hours of this actually really enjoyable dungeon crawler because of the hunky men. I just looked at the wiki and There is no gay sex :( Great game though, mount and blade meets pokemon mystery dungeon 9/10 could use some gay sex in it.

Pretty damn fun. One of the few pixel art RPGs that actually lets you customize a protagonist, the opening mission has variance depending on in your background choices. I like the base building, and the combat. To be honest I really just wish that they released this on mobile. This would be a fantastic game to play on mobile.

This is the first time in my entire life when I really enjoyed reading the little textual objects (scrolls, signs, diaries) left around in the background. They really brought the world to life in an unexpected way. I was pretty stunned because I normal never care about "lore." The battle system takes getting used to, and is a bit clunky (tip: give everyone the healing ability, and just spam the overpowered werewolf guy when push comes to shove), but I enjoyed it! Also the chaotic gay energy is unique and special, too.

Just got both endings, almost all character quests and interactions and damn... this was an amazing ride. I will look back at it with nostalgia for sure, amazing experience. This entire story could be an amazing comic/manga honestly, the moments of character interactions and events felt so special, although i do wish i did not have to follow a guide to not miss out on all these scenes. Anyway, I love this game, easily one of my faves . Wish it was more popular or updated really, I crave for more of this game and especially the characters.
