Goblin Adventurer Hunting

[h1][b]GRINDY ADVENTURER HUNTING[/b][/h1] I ask myself this question every time: why do I keep buying Ketchup AjiNo Mayonnaise's works? There's this weird equilibrium of me disliking and liking their games. On one hand, the animations are decent, but on the other hand, the gameplay itself sucks. While Goblin Adventurer Hunting and the previous game, Succubus Alchemist have reduced levels of grind, the game is still as grindy as a standard Korean-developed MMORPG(Black Desert, Mabinogi, etc). I couldn't decide whether to buy this on DLsite or here, so I settled for the Steam release instead, because I don't like Ketchup's works enough to double-dip on them compared to other circles(Hasoyua, ONEONE1, etc). Anyway, let's begin the review. [h1][b]THE STORY[/b][/h1] There's story? Well, there's implied story, but the game just throws you in. If you've played Goblin's Strike Back, the story is basically the same as that but simpler. If you haven't, the story is basically a goblin who is in debt and decides to capture adventurers for a brothel to earn money. [h1][b]THE GAMEPLAY[/b][/h1] An even more simplified version of Succubus Alchemist, with most aspects removed besides just collecting adventurers. The gameplay loop is simple, you just enter the field, grab resources in the entrance, then when you're ready, dive right in. The gimmick in Goblin Adventurer Hunting this time is the 3-lane system for resources. You basically get to see most of the resources you can get as long as you don't need to light up the lane with torches, so just pick the lane you think you need the most. If you're looking for money, prioritize Bottle/Water lanes. If you want to beat the mid boss or brutalize livestock, pick weapon lanes. If you're trying to level up, pick magic crystal lanes, etc. Don't try doing everything at once in one run until you have over 50 steps unlocked, it's generally unrealistic to do so while managing your stats and all that. Early game, you'll want to focus all your stats into ATK and MAT(and about 5-6 DEF), as you can use the MAT to get more EN(energy) from Magic Crystals, which will then allow you to get more ATK. You need 13 ATK minimum, but 23 optimally to get Gold Ingots and Mythril Ingots from the midboss room(or lower floors), which you'll need pretty early on for upgrades. [h1][b]THE AUDIO/BGM[/b][/h1] Literally stock-standard RPGmaker assets, barring the female character voices. There is nothing noteworthy here. Also, these games still have the issue of the "AHE AHE AHE" and "AHI AHI AHI" being painfully repetitive. [h1][b]THE VISUALS[/b][/h1] Again, besides the female character images, everything else is stock-standard RPGmaker assets. There is nothing unique about this game's visuals. However, the characters were drawn in a more "normal" size compared to the chibi-like variants from the previous games, which I very much appreciate. [h1][b]THE H CONTENT[/b][/h1] While the initial amount of H content seems to be smaller than the previous games, there are multiple variants/animations for each character type, simply locked behind capturing more of them. If you like restraints, non-con, and captivity, the stuff should be interesting to you.... unfortunately, you'll have to work pretty hard to get all of them, especially 50 of both Midbosses, and 10 of the Princess Knight. If you're looking for a quick handy session, this isn't the right game to play unless you're satisfied by grabbling the first adventurer you see and just c00ming to that. [h1][b]IN CONCLUSION[/b][/h1] Still, I ask myself... why do I continue to purchase these games? Whether on DLsite or here on Steam, I can never really decide if I hate Ketchup AjiNo Mayonnaise's games or not. I genuinely did dislike Momo's Eternal Adventure, but the games beyond that were somewhat steady improvements. When I talk about gameplay in H games, I don't mean Korean Grindfests-- I already play enough KRMMORPGs, I prefer playing H games like this to not think about them... but I digress. [h1][b]THE VERDICT[/b][/h1] Honestly? If you didn't like any of the previous entries from this circle/developer, I genuinely say to skip this one and never look back at this "series" of games. If you're like me and hope to see these games get less stupid with each passing iteration, buy it if it's on discount I guess, because this really isn't worth the full price. [h1]5/10 Buy if you're a fan of this circle's works, skip if you aren't[/h1] I'll be generous and give this one a "recommended" only because i'm too stupid to realize that I should probably stop buying these games.

[h1]桀桀桀，我要你助我修行！[/h1] [table][td]欢迎关注鉴赏家[url= https://store.steampowered.com/curator/37793427]“黄油收集师”[/url][/td][/table] [h1]一、这个我熟，是黄油魔塔[/h1] 《Goblin Adventurer Hunting》是一款轻度肉鸽的爬塔养成类游戏，由于本作每次下本都是重新开始，所有物品都会刷新，并且副本中包含了战斗养成开锁交易陷阱等各类事件，和很早期的一款叫《魔塔》的经典游戏玩法类似，甚至本作的玩法要更加出众些。加上每次副本随机生成的不确定性以及优秀的加点路线和对应的路线玩法，让本作不仅耐玩并且上头，可以说是这家社团目前最有意思的游戏了。 [h1]二、XP相关[/h1] [h3]1、HCG画风[/h3] 这家社团游戏画风都比较独特，如果说之前的作品是独特过头了，那么本作的画风则是综合了些大众的审美，既保持了该社团的画风特点，又让HCG实用性有了较大提升。单从商店页面的预览就看得出来，非常标准的日系二次元画风，本作不仅摒弃了前作十分鬼畜的XP题材[spoiler]各种肉铠甲、公共厕所、物品化等[/spoiler]，还把HCG做了多种拆分，并且画师的水平也是肉眼可见的提高了不少。 [h3]2、HCG数量[/h3] 8个角色，每个角色3张HCG+1张媚药捕获CG，再加上副本里的2个圣母护士各一张，合计34个HCG。而HCG拆分方面则是每张HCG做了三张动态拆分，虽然没有实际的大爆社画面，但三张动态带声音的HCG也足证明制作组的诚意所在。 [h1]三、玩法及攻略[/h1] 本作玩法设计虽然一眼看过去非常繁琐，学习成本也是巨大，但实际上手以后会发现本作的玩法大致可以分为（仅本人探索的玩法）：攻防双修养蛊路线、INT开锁交易路线、力大无穷开箱路线、魔法开矿路线。 1、攻防双修养蛊路线：防御优先、攻击次要，其他任何点数都不管或经验有盈余的情况下可以加点。路线选择偏向冒险者多的地方，所以该流派是最快受击全HCG的玩法。只要防御力高于冒险者的攻击力，那么就可以误伤捕获或者直接炼化掉冒险者，而游戏中地下二层经常会出现整个区域全是冒险者的情况，一旦遇到就可以无脑进入开始养蛊。把炼化的冒险者全部用于提升防御和攻击，在有条件进入地下三层的时候就无脑选择“酒馆”，里面有最后一个角色“公主骑士”，推荐进入前备好大量防御水晶或者武器即可通关。 2、INT开锁交易路线：INT可以高的情况下可以无消耗开任何锁，但要求数值极高，所以一旦选择改路线那么其他任何点数都不要管了。通过收集更多的圣水和开箱的物资，不断获取水晶和其他道具，地下三层推荐选择“监狱”，可以依靠无消耗开锁完美通关。 3、力大无穷开箱路线：该路线只点力量，需要多收集水晶道具。在攻击力达到一定程度时可以通过砸锁和一击必杀冒险者来通关，地下三层推荐选择“多样性”。 4、魔法开矿路线：高MP和高魔法力（偶尔点点血量），可以无消耗解开魔法阵并通过魔力矿石获得更多的经验，在对战冒险者的时候也可以使用魔法来无伤胜利，地下三层推荐选择“封印之间”或“王座”。 [h1]四、省流总结[/h1] 《哥布林冒险者狩猎》是一款爬塔轻肉鸽重养成的RPG游戏，本作拥有优秀的玩法设计以及多变的路线选择，加之画师水平有了极大提高，并且该作HCG做了三张拆分并且全动态，数量甚至多达34张，这也使得本作HCG视觉效果更加优秀。虽然HCG需要与冒险者战斗才能够才能够获取，但不同流派都拥有战胜冒险者的方法，只需要玩家做好规划，选择自己喜欢的流派游玩本作，自然会不自觉的沉浸进去。

I'm going to let you know, most of this review is going to be my complaints about the game. But, it is good. If you like the other games the dev has made. Honestly, check them out first, probably in order would be best. because while there's been some innovation, not all of it has been good. tl;dr - art is decent, upgrade system is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to hell and back, but the gameplay makes up for it. Bring back the chibi art though! At least as a toggleable option Before I get salty at anything, I'd like to talk about the art! Its why you're here after all (though the gameplay does have that addictive quality to it don't worry) I've seen a lot of people praising the art in this game, and y'know, its decent art, as far as h-games go. Doesn't look like they used the drag tool on a png. But they had such cute and good chibi art before! They had a defined style, which fit with the gameplay and meshed in a way that actually made the game better. I appreciate them expanding out more and testing what works, but honestly, the chibi art was better. It just worked when it came to how the mechanics interact. And it meant that any minor incongruence was just an art style decision. How the art is now is... functional, but it isn't evocative or anything, and the animator clearly has a lot of learning to do. That's enough about me talking art style. The art itself is decent, but its not why you'll be playing the game. No, you'll be playing the game for the gameplay. Which... is pretty much identical to the first game, with the added benefit of being able to tell you won't be able to progress an area, and instead choosing a different one. I approve. However. This game (and the first, because the first game is basically just this but older and with more content somehow) lives or dies off the between-run upgrade system And in this case, a perfect storm of design choices means it dies with the upgrade system. The upgrades can be considered in 5 different categories: 1) Utterly useless, you will get over 100 of the item within the first 5 screens, so spending resources to get more on screen 0 is irrelevant 2) mildly useful, sure having some gems on-hand is alright, why not. 3) Absolutely crucial, upgrading your stats is the main thing, after all 4) a utility, kinda? The selection+ upgrades fit here, because while they're nice, they're not by any means actually useful 5) Overpriced as hell, regen costs 100k and gems. why? For what purpose? Its barely useful So, that's reasonable at first glance, right? Except that most of them scale identically in cost. Categories 1, 2, and 4 all start off costing just money, which makes sense. And then after 4 levels (in the case of 1 and 2. 4 starts here immediately.) they start costing gold bars, which are very difficult to acquire earlygame, when the upgrades would be useful. And presumably they scale up to costing green bars, and then gems. Category 3 can carry the whole thing though, right? I get to dump all my money into having a high attack stat? Or magic? Nope! One purchase that costs a lot and then it costs gold... and then green... and then gems, but by the time it costs gems (level 5 of the stat by the way, when your average early-mid game run will have you with 20s across the board from in-run leveling) it costs the same 100k as the prohibitively expensive upgrades! In short for the above, the upgrade system is *♥♥♥♥♥♥*. The only thing you should care about is the exploration tools, initial capture bottles, step count, and energy. But, fortunately, the game itself is mostly the fun part, the gameplay, where you're going out and doing stuff, and all the annoying bits are behind you at base. You get to have fun and relax, and honestly? Its worth it. Game's good. I found these flaws within the first hour and I didn't refund it, and oh *boy* do I refund a lot of games. Play it, you'll like it.

我等不及了！我现在就想玩新作（大声哭闹）

Fun game

借金返済のため奮闘するゴブリンが主人公のローグライクゲーム。 （借金返済のために働かされるといえば、ほかにもあったような・・・ｳｯ頭が、、、） この手のローグライクは初めてやりましたが面白いですね。楽しく遊ばせてもらってます。 もちろんシレンなどはやったことあるのですがあれとは違うパズル要素が高いゲーム。 こういうジャンルはほかにもあるのでしょうが知りませんでした。 オリジナルだとしたら素晴らしいです、もっと評価されてもいいと思います。 肝心の股間のほうはと言えば、考えながらちまちまと補強していき時間と精気は奪われていくのですが作業のほうに没頭してしまい全く反応しなかったです。 女冒険者「このくそゴブリンが！お前なんアンッアンッアンッ」 ゲーム部分は面白いです。エロ部分も面白いです（エロくはない？ナースは最高）。 ゴブリンに愛着がわきます。（おまえは何に使ってそんなに借金した？返済したけどどうせまた借金するんだろ？） 要望：拠点にトロフィーがありやりこみ要素もあって良いのですが、もうちょっと遊び（一枚絵のエロや会話など）があってもいいと思いました。

别买 别买 别买 太肝了, 机械重复, 已经不知天地是何物了
