Why Slay it when you can be gooning? This game is a perfectly functional copy of Slay the Spire formula which everyone copies with its own sexual twist. It innovates gameplay in its own appropriate ways, but there is just so much a single developer can do. Game could be so much better with higher production values, but it utilizes what it has quite effectively.

This is a copy of Slay the Spire, but a good kind of imitator. It does things its way. From targeting a niche of sexual content. Then providing 3D graphics. You can almost forget from where gameplay came. And hey, knowing how abysmal gameplay in adult games is, this game is a masterpiece compared to what you would find there otherwise.

Game also does things differently when it comes to classical choice of picking your path through a world. In this game, you are free to choose which path you go through the dungeon. It gives you more freedom, but at the cost of grind. You end up overpowering enemies to the point that they do no damage to you, but you still gain some power by beating them. Thus, every run is grindy.

Likewise, there is a little bit more choice when it comes to your artifacts. You often can pick one of them. Though, they tend to be weaker than really good stuff from Slay the Spire. Likewise with cards. You beat enemies to get a chance at the draw. Generally you also want to pick higher rarity card then better cards while keeping in mind your build.

What is interesting about this game is its Lust mechanic. It's very fitting for this game too. Most of achievements and erotic content is locked behind the scenes. You have to unlock it by beating enemies and using Lust which you slowly accumulate through battle. It will be used up and you will unlock a new scene. However, Lust is also used in battles for powerful spells and it persists between battles. This creates this dynamic where you constantly are judging if you need more power for next encounter or you want to unlock content now. It also incentivises either to hoard it for a boss fight or spend it all as it will be wasted for a scene unlock anyways.

Then there is permament shop upgrade. You spend in game currency - Essence to buy, upgrade, remove cards. Add artifacts. However, you can permamently upgrade the shop by getting increasingly more intimate with its inkeeper. This and the fact that you gain experience and have talent tree locks power behind grind. You will play a lot of this game before you could realistically start completing it. Seeing how all of such games are based on snowball principle and winning more is fundamental at succeeded at all such games.

Game is not without its downside. This game has just one playstyle where Slay the Spire could support many builds and characters. Succubus plays like a warrior. It's all about accumulating enough armor and weakening spells to have otherwise extremely hard hitting enemies moderated.

Likewise, cards are not as unique and interesting as in Slay the Spire 2. Artifacts are far weaker and less original too. While game supports various builds like damage, lust, bleed, debuff, card draw, etc. They all rather rely on a same principle of weakening your enemies attack power and shielding yourself every turn. These are not different ways to play, but rather just doing the same thing with extra steps.

Another downside which applies to entire genre is RNG. It's brutal here. You can end up drawing no Shields despite running card draw deck. With enemies hitting like trucks, one such misfortune hits your entire run momentum. Two such unlucky hits and you are barelly alive. Three strikes and you are out. They don't even have to be in one game, but throughout the run as rest places are also very limited and are very susceptible to RNG swings. Likewise, chapters to chapter can be very swingy with its difficulty. There is sa ton of random luck in this game.

As most adult games, it fails as erotic game to create situations, fantasies and scenarios which would be arrousing. Graphical fidelity while acceptable for such project, doen't help. Writing, little there is, probably is written like a cheap gooner novel. It fails to set up proper scenes, encounters. Build up to something, have some foreplay. Thus, its sexual content is not all that great.

There also lies its greatest problem. It's very repetitive in its adult content and gameplay. It's game meant for mindless grinders. Though, I think that describes gooners quite well.

If you ever wanted to goon all the way while playing Slay the Spire, you are in luck. This is your game! It's also surprisingly solid game on its own. People unfamiliar with the genre or just wanting something different will enjoy their time here.

The greatest shortfall of this game is that adult content is rather weak even if it has insane amounts of it. Likewise with gameplay. There is tons of grinding to be done, tons of gooning to be experienced!

I'm sorry, but it's just a really good and straightforward roguelite deckbuilding card battler (not as deep as Slay the Spire, but I consider it a plus for how microscopically incremental some of the buffs and effects the cards in that game had to gauge their efficacy on the fly).

And, unlike those 18+ platformers or fighting games, you can play this game with one hand, so overall a perfect execution of everything it was going for.
