Delve Into Pawssion

不错的游戏

A game with an incredible and cool design, attractive story with a great touch of fun and mystery

Delve Into Pawssion gives strong Pokemon Mystery Dungeon vibes and has fight mechanics similar to the Pokemon main games. There was enough ability variety as the Seducer class, and I found fun ways to min-max, which on its own sounds funny for an adult game. The game is a quirky and wholesome experience where the art comes first and the video game is a bonus. Despite that, it has many interesting things going on with it. [h1]SPOILERS! Lot's of spoilers below![/h1] [h3]Story and art[/h3] The characters are very likeable even with their quirky character tropes. Anidra's character Nii, is my fav. The art is hecking adorable! The NSFW scenes often felt out of place or sudden as there was no build up. This could be a quirk of the style and keeping the silly theme. The scenes were somewhat irregular, In the first part of the game. Stripe and Nii gets full animations but only after one completion of Mount Pass, Vail, Triti and Side-B are scenes featured. The art is definitely the focus, which is rare being the starting point of a videogame, but makes perfect sense considering DMQuetzalli (DarkMirage) is artist first, game dev second. The style is very cute which is why I bought the game, I really love DarkMirage's art! My only critique is the lack of other than opposite gender scenes, but that's likely due to artist preference. When The World, Players and Citizens were first mentioned, I felt it took away the immersion. This is just my preference in RPGs, in a way the story about the world being just a video game makes it a comical quirk. The story was plain but functional tying up the areas and characters together. I didn't get emotionally invested in the story and lore, but I think it fits in a way being silly rather than serious which fits rest of the game style. ----------------- [h3]Other thoughts[/h3] [list] [*]I played through the demo as [b]Assimilative[/b] and the full game as [b]Seducer[/b] class, it hinted things were going to be more difficult but I found things far easier, though this might be partially because of the first play through. I enjoyed a lot of the spell casting and there was a different enough feel to the Assimilative. [*]I dumped all my badge points to Class Boost which gave me +600 hp before level 5, I'd suggest limiting Class Boost to later levels that the early game doesn't become so easy. [*]The [b]only time I struggled[/b] was at Mountain Pass. There was a lot of 1v2s and 1v3s which made it positively challenging and I did few times. 40GP fee for dying was very little. I wouldn't have felt bad even if it was 400gp as I died so few times. [*][b]Seduce+Follow me[/b] combo is very strong, though it works only once per monster. I think it would be more interesting if the success rate scaled with monster missing HP and could be used more than once. It felt a bit cheesy to skip early fights with this combo. [*][b]The difficulty[/b] was very easy. I died only a few times and I never got stuck grinding anything and there was still a lot of content to enjoy. Blackjack and Nova were the only bosses ones I didn't beat at first attempt as seducer. In the demo I struggled a bit more but even then the game was never difficult. This is fine for general audience, but I'd love to see hard mode after or near full release! [*][b]Add hover text hints[/b] to not started Quests and undiscovered Gallery entries. I wanted to completely every little bit of the game and it was bit puzzling where to even look for the quests. This is just my preference, it's also valid not to give any hints to to player as the community can always create guides and find solutions together. [*]The second [b]battle with Blackjack[/b] as seducer as a pure RNG check that decides whether you win if you don't win before the meteorite is summoned which one shots you. I was only able to pass this with Elusive Dance 75% dodge chance which I believe stacks with additional 10% from lucky charm. If my math adds up, that's solid 22.5% loss rate even if you played otherwise perfectly. This could be an oversight, but it's not generally good to leave guaranteed death to a dice roll. [*]I played through both demo via wine and the full game via [b]Steam Proton on Linux[/b]. It was very playable even without official Linux support and I never had a crash. At worst the game would start stuttering heavily after 1-2 hours of play time, and some NSFW scene animations froze completely. [/list] ----------------- Overall, the playing experience was very smooth! Most of the issues above are understandable as the game is still in early access. The game says I completed everything except chests (19/80) and badges (23/99) which I couldn't find anywhere. Total playtime upon completion ~11hr. I am looking forward for the next update until I delve into the game with pawssion once again! Original post: [url=steamcommunity.com/app/2335620/discussions/0/4637114871638424014]
