Re: -Witch's Dungeon Laboratory- GAMES OUT (AZUREZERO)
So I went ahead and bought this one, figured it was about time to see what azure has been up to with his latest game. Just finished it last night and I thought I should post my thoughts on it.
So what do I think? Its.......pretty alright actually. Its pretty much what its advertised as, a puzzle adventure game like Witch House, but with hentai instead of death.
The puzzles were good for Rpg maker standards. I never ran into any "How the hell was I supposed to figure that out?!" Type situations. Even the more challenging ones that left me stumped for a bit, ended with me going "Oh now I get it".
What I'm getting at is that none of the puzzles felt cheap or cryptic. They felt just right. maybe they could of been a bit harder but thats just probably me.
The story...uh its there I guess? Honestly it feels a bit rushed towards the end, you get a lot of information at the end of the game to help justify the plot, but it just comes off as last minute reasoning. To be fair though its not really that big of deal, and didn't really hurt my enjoyment or anything. It should of been better paced I guess is what I'm saying.
As for the CGs a.k.a the real reason to play these games
they are also pretty good. Theres one for pretty much every lose scenario which is appreciated, though I was a bit disappointed when getting caught by the orc in the fire area just gives you the standard game over screen. Though as far as I'm aware thats the only exception. The writing is pretty hot as well, though maybe thats just because I'm so used to not being able to read these type of games, after all, English hentai rpg games are pretty rare. Especially compared to number of Japanese ones.
Either way, good stuff here. Though there really should be a way to hide the textbox in scenes so I could enjoy them more. I've seen it done before in Rpg maker vx ace, so I know it can be done. A CG room might also be a nice addition when you beat the game so you could view all the scenes in one place. Something to keep in mind for future games.
I did also find some bugs, nothing major though. Just some instances of invisible transfer events in the fire area. Specifically in the ice room, water room, and the fire gate room. There all one way transfers to those rooms actually. Again nothing major there. Theres also some walls I was able to walk through in the fire area as well. Nothing that broke the game or anything I could cheat with or get stuck. Its just an issue with the pass ability of some tiles on the walls probably.
Also is the talk option on the plant girls supposed to do anything? Cause it doesn't do anything when I select it.
Overall I say the game is worth buying if your a fan of mini puzzle adventures with hentai scenes on loss. Its about 1-2 hours long, which is fine cause its supposed to be a short game. Its pretty cheap too, so I say get it if you liked the demo or are interested in this type of game.
