Review:

My goodness, it's always difficult to hold myself from covering GOOD games that aren't fully baked yet. Great art, sweet gameplay, but anything that these lines describe has to be a complete experience, or it'll be half-assing on my end.

So today I've picked two titles that are still in development, one nearing its full release, while the other in a very promising early alpha.

⭐ Our first game today is going to be Sadiubus - an action Pixel side scroller.

I figured after a VN, simulation, and an assortment of genres, we can go back to the classic
H gaming - where porn is organically integrated into gameplay, based on your own skill level.

Not many devs choose to mix the path of pain with pleasure.
After all, H gaming is also best known for one-handed gaming. Personally I never believed that should be the case with action titles. I even find it kinda awkward to mess around with yourself while avoiding spikes and smacking bitches.

As long as gallery mode exists, it certainly wouldn't hurt to simply enjoy a game with 18+ themes. The porn will always be there later to embrace our triumphant return after putting the final E cup succubus in her place.

Alright, so what is this game all about?

Simply putting - Sadiubus is an action game where you explore the map while solving mysteries. It has a decent amount of challenge, so do keep in mind that you'll need to work your way diligently from area to area. 

Control a nameless hero who arrived the castle infested with lustful demon girls, led by their Succubus, or rather the Sadiubus boss.
Sadiubus will test both your skill and your wits throughout multiple sections (levels) of the castle.

You're granted a variety of skills to handle your adversaries: other than the basic action commands, you can perform dash attack, full screen wave attack, and a pillar burst attack.

All of your moves and basic stats can be further upgraded with currency dropped by the girls.
Occasional runes will also drop, which add special properties to your special attacks.

All enemies have a poise meter that can be broken more efficiently based on the moves used against them, breaking it will result in a long stun and a special meter that incrementally increases your attack based on your attack timing.

However, the girls aren't the only ones with a poise to break!
The initial health pool is quite small, but it is protected by a massive armor that takes a good amount of hits to break and make the hero temporarily defenseless, kinda like in Ghouls 'n Ghosts, but instead of turning into a skeleton when hit while naked, you turn into their fuckboy toy.

⚠️ My best combat advice is to abuse the perfect dodge mechanic, which grants the dash attack a huge poise break buff, plus an additional energy charge that you can instantly use for a wave attack. This combo will make short work of all enemies, no matter their number and density. (combine with multi-hit runes for best effect)

Each level has its own mystery to solve.
The first one for example requires aligning certain inscriptions with the ones on the big door.
Another is to attune the correct elements as inscribed on the wall. It's all pretty intuitive stuff, but those who don't have the patience for puzzles are in luck - as each floor's lobby has an instant puzzle skip button.
Using it will basically cut the game's length in half, but that's your call.

You can warp between save points, but if you get a game over (return to the title) or move to a different map area, ALL the enemies you've defeated will respawn, so if you want to explore thoroughly, defeat the enemies first.

💕 As mentioned earlier, after taking a certain amount of damage, your clothes will tear and you'll walk around in your birthday suit.
It just so happens to be the demon girls most favorite costume, that upon touch will instantly trigger an H animation. These grabs can be escaped by pressing the right input when briefly shown, or instead fill up the climax meter and take health damage. (0 health sends to menu)

At first glance the art style didn't grab me. I'm probably just not used to tall sprites, but now I can genuinely say that Solo M did a spectacular job delivering hot scenes, featuring our Hero in many dominated positions, integrating the characters unique designs into the acts as well.

❗ Important to note that most H animations are Femdom, where only the boss alt. scenes actually bang our sexually depraved amigo. So consider carefully purchasing the game if you're not into Femdom, as the H content may feel a bit lackluster. (There no CGs)

With that being said, there are still another 2 levels in the making, which means even more H content to enjoy. I honestly felt that the game was already good enough as is, given how short H titles generally are anyway, but y'know, the more the merrier.

Overall, Sadiubus is a great pick when looking for an engaging H game that has more to offer than braindead steamrolling to unlock a bunch of galleries.

Its combat system is absolutely among the top performers in the ACT scene, offering a lot more than an attack spam button.

It is however the kind of game I would recommend more for its gameplay over the H content.
Even if you're into Femdom, there are other titles that know how to deliver a more in-depth BDSM content. BUT (!!!) there was yet such content created with Pixel art in the genre, so it does maintain its own novelty.

👉 Sadiubus is available on DLsite.

⭐ But that's not all folk, I got a little something extra for ya'll!

Truthfully, as much as I enjoyed covering Sadiubus, it is still an incomplete game and a bit short. So to bridge the gap, I'd like to introduce a VERY promising game: Gamer Struggles by Cumbusters.

Gamer Struggles is still in Alpha, but as fitting to many furry titles - it BURSTS with soul!
The writing is light hearted and funny, the artwork is absolutely amazing, and the pixel art is cute as hell!

Our story takes us to a family of Dog furries, where the dad had enough of his neglecting neet daughter Chiro. It is time to teach her the harsh reality of life by literally kicking her out and making her touch grass.

There isn't much to explore besides a couple small biomes and a short introduction to the local wolf tribe, but even the little that IS there is enough to tell us that all the foundations are in place, and all the game needs is basically more content to explore.

👉 So far the Alpha includes two H scenes in both animations AND defeat CGs in VN style.
Super hot, super worth checking out! all for the best price of FREE on itch.io.
