Unity - GIRLDIVERS [v0.7.1 C2] [Sweet Cakes Games]

0.7.1 review
sad, that this is another one of those "mediocre but with a catch (wink wink)" type of games.
I mean it was fun enough for a playthrough but I'm glad I played this for free.
There are the idle animations in battle and the victory screen that's pretty hot. That's it about that.
Pretty shady to sell this tho, pretty much luring with a false premise and not delivering it. Could've been on newgrounds a few years back.

As of 0.7.1 C2 the game is nothing too great, it's borderline mediocre.

The artstyle and animations are good but the gameplay quickly becomes tediously repetitive.
There only exist 4 objectives in total so far in the stages I played until I got bored and dropped the game.
Collect the sheep. Defend the base(it comes in three "re-skins" of protect the flag/extractor/missile). Destroy the eggs/nest/electric doodad. And destroy a set number of enemies in the underground.

The rewards the game gives you are rather underwhelming,a series of weapons that are for the most part completely useless in comparison to your starting weapons ,and clothes that have no other impact than "tweek" your characters stats a tiny bit but not actual appearance and the XP so far doesn't seem to do anything of note.

The game just fails to be entraining for more than 10-20 minutes(40 if you include the annoying slow loading times you have to sit through when going to and from missions) and the few sex images/animations you get in between are just not a good enough incentive for people to keep playing.

All in all this game is a congregate of decent but rather poorly implemented ideas.

This game tried to the little engine that could, but in the end it was just a shitty engine.

The game has a ton of personality and it starts out strong with some decent-ish humour and a good tone. But the art is.. just bad. I usually give some leeway with handmade art like this, but it unfortunately was done poorly by someone who frankly just isn't good at art.

There's different objectives per level, what appears at first to be a cool equipment system, and there is a semblance of strategy, but in the end the game play loop just fails to connect. It's a shame because the concepts are all there and are great, they just couldn't bring them to fruition. I paid for it on steam as it looked like it had potential but ultimately I refunded this one. I would give it a 2 but I'll raise it to 3 because it was a good effort.

It's a good idea but the execution needs work.

The game isn't that crisp to play and the weapons are uninteresting. Nothing really pops out as a pdf space marine weapon most are modern in look and feel. We don't have the staples from helldivers you could have copied like the breaker, sickle, or constitution. And the original weapons are pretty mediocre. Stratagams have similar issues. Enemies are generic but the objectives do have a good variety with wafiu queens and funny segments. If the Enemies were better I would have a bit more fun but they are mostly bullet hell missile creatures.

The plot is also playing into a more unserious comedic tone which is a look. It plays into a more joke like nature and focuses a lot on bimbo nonsense. I personally dislike it but I do understand that's a bimbo bias. Just not a good enough story or good enough humor for me to get past it for what its worth. It's almost too ridiculous at points with art of a lady eating a brick as an example.

The porn is disconnected from gameplay making it feel rather cheap. The animations are definitely well made but the design is poor. The porn is almost slapdashed around. Better than some games just giving you CGs but not much better. Cheap porn games have the hallmark of buying artists and not really having a good idea as to how to use the art. Which is what leads to that sort-a feel. The cgs play into the story but not much of a story is really being told anyway. It's too wishy washy for me to really care about these one note bois. So the cgs don't feel special. The short missions don't help in this case. The endings only have one slide and it gets repetitive quite fast. The Chicken heath bar is pretty common. For good reason it's good that it's here gives you a good reference for shenanigans. But yes the only real connection is that chicken health bar so the story is the only real thing carrying the weight of the scenes. And like I said the story is weak so the scenes feel cheap. In terms of general design integrating gameplay is by far the harder option. So a lot of folks go with story instead. It's why a lot of these things are pseudo visual novels. And also why the question of why make an actual porn game to begin with starts to crop up. They went with gameplay, shirked the story, shirked the gameplay, it's a bit of a mess.

Anyway Single player helldivers is an interesting idea. To add porn to that would be an interesting design challenge. But they kinda need to make a fun single player helldivers first and also figure out how porn would even fit into that equation to begin with. It feels like they dived in balls deep with no lube, no condom, and no greater plan. And kinda ended up with a more traditional cheap porn game. With no real reason to exist other than as a joke. The comedic tone does not help with that, that's how you become a clown. Even with this sorta scathing perspective I will give this 2 stars as going with the harder route is fundamentally commendable.

I did not enjoy.

A medicore 2D run and gun game, they need to add some serious improvements to the gameplay to make it worth playing.

The H-content is quite small for the full planned game, 3 animations and the rest is just CG-s, this game should prove to be a waste of time, time will tell.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you win a level you get a reward of... some male military commander raping you? And this is a "victory"? Really really dumb.

Although the demo is only a few planets long, there's a base of a surprisingly solid game here. My only real complaint is the lack of a dodge roll ability to more quickly relocate (there is a sprint function, but it doesn't feel sufficient for getting out of jams). The apparent lack of an ability to heal short of just respawning is also somewhat annoying.

Get some skin options like different suits/leotards, helmets, and all that jazz, and I think you got a real winner here.

For a demo it looks very promising so far. The art is great and the gameplay feels very well done. More types of enemies would be great and maybe some diver on diver action as well as some kind of outfit changing which looks to be planned but not yet implemented.

The gameplay is like vampire survivors, you walk like a sack of potatoes, you shoot and you reload really slow. There is an idle animation of your character of which you get to see their damaged clothes every time u get hit, basically 4 times you are naked.

The story is your classic helldivers porn parody nothing too deep to read into, the game feels like it was made in 4 months, if you are a widescreen enjoyer, do not download this game, classic unity devs release games with fixed resolution that bleeds outside the screens bounds. Obviously there is no option to change the resolution BUT THANK FUCK they have a volume slide, because windows 10/11 did not provide that feature.

The h-scenes are a-ok, and the only thing to look forward to here, in terms of gameplay and fuctionality it is extremely low filled with the most irrelevant of options like "streamer mode", thank god they prioritize fuctions.

no complaints at all, great animations, great game, just not enough content yet for me to give it a 5 star, though another bonus is sony doesn't have control over it, i look forward to seeing what is added in the future.

Final version: It's a short but well packed experience. I'm a little sad there was no so much variety and even if it's a parody of helldivers it still have a own story to tell. The movement was adjusted. It's quite sad that the last boss was an unique experience, it would have been nice to have other miniboss like her. overall the arts are nice, the gameplay is solid, i got fun, i stay firm on what I've said.

Demo: This is the best helldivers porn parody game ever made, and I'm glad that helldivers got so famose to get his own porn.
The game loop is what you expect, but it's a top down shooter like enter the gungeon or binding of Isaac. You select a mission, you deploy in a point, shootdown everything you meet, complete all objectives, wait for extract, extract. Like helldivers you can equip stratagems but unlike it you don't need to complete the minigame, you need to complete the minigame only when you die and it's easy to do so.
The only negative are the slow movement of the protagonist and the slow reloading.

In the porn side, all pixel arts are good, you unlock events and animation when you complete missions. There are no bugs-human porn interaction if not with free bullets and the only defeat cutscene is you getting punished by high command, like super earth intended.
So waiting for the C1 permit and the official release i say 10 liberty out of ten, I'll spread manage democracy again.
