Unity - Onhold - Eld [v1.0.11] [introspurt]

Nice art and voice acting. Gameplay is simple; not flashy, but not a drag either. Pretty sensible gameplay loop and the writing pretty inoffensive for an H game. Will definitely watch further progress on this one, as it has a lot of potential.

The only reason I play introspurt's games is the sex scenes and art, sadly this game doesn't deliver in this regard, whereas pretty much all of his previous games had several great scenes each, this one didn't really had a single one that stood out too me, perhaps I missed some, but not letting users view all of the scenes in gallery is just asking for some stuff to be skipped (given how many people in this community cheat in games to skip the grind and often boring gameplay), not that his other games had good gameplay either, it's all boring grind stopping you from enjoying the art.

He should just stop doing games and focus on making animations.

The fact there is a porn game of this quality out there simply blows my mind, and I'm disappointed as well as a bit surprised I'd not heard about it until I stumbled across it by complete chance. I'm not exactly familiar with the Developer's previous works, if what can be found in Eld is a sign, I do have some more games to check out in the future.

Warning, slight spoilers for the game ahead.

1. The Plot and the basic background for this game is interesting. The idea of an Eldritch abomination adopting a child is something I've never seen played with before, much less played straight as a seemingly caring parent, enough to the point that they were willing to grow an entire town and population for said child to grow up in. From there, the plot is fairly simplistic, but still solid.
2. Combat is fairly straightforward, though clearly build around having more party members than you have available in the earlier parts of the story, which can negatively effect early difficulty. Outside of then, I wouldn't consider the combat all that interesting. Really, I find it a bit repetitive. Which isn't bad, but has it's issues.
3. The army/area defense mode really feels like something tacked on. This could be expanded in the full release, but I don't know how effective of a system it would actually be.
4. There are parts that feel a bit too grindy. Hitting the proper balance between rewarding the player for their efforts and just creating busywork can be difficult, and Eld mostly makes that balance. Outside of the sudden level spike towards the end of the Demo, things mostly feel balanced once you have a full team.
5. On that note, I do feel that the level curve might need to be flattened a bit towards the end, but that's just me.
6. However, despite the few flaws that are frankly nitpicks compared to what I've seen out of other porn games, they are more than made up for by the high quality animations, excellent art, and interesting cast of characters. It probably does help that tentacles are a fetish of mine, so I'm inherently biased.

And how did Gramps get that tentacle arm of his?

The most promising game of the last year, it's on Beta as of writting this review and it's already the best game of the year.

At first glance, if you look at the previews and art style, the game does look promising, but guess what? It exceeds by far those expectations.

The art style is very good and it's also very unique. The expressions and animations are more than you can ask for a +18 game, I myself who don't like poor quality graphics in these types of games, love the style and can't get enough of it.

In an adult game, the most important is to find the perfect balance of play and fuck, this game is absolutely perfect in this department. It's a fun, well done game with easy to understand mechanics, interesting enough to want to know more and get better, while not being too complicated or frustrating.

I like games where you have to "work" for it, whilst not having mindless pussy thrown at your face. If I wanted that, I could just watch porn, but I need to feel as if I am the one doing it, and this is the closest you will get to that.

Exceeded Expectations. 4h in right now, still plenty of gameplay to go.

Great Art, fun Slave/Breeding mechanics

Combat quick enough that it is not too painful.

Grind is mostly fine.

Suggestions:
Cheat button
Erotic Attacks during combat
option to skip text
option to replay videos you have already seen

Art and animation is excellent

Story and setting were pretty interesting to me

Lot of content and looks to have a massive scope for the game, expect roughly 20 mins before getting the first H scene with plenty more available once you start capturing girls to "harvest"

One of the best out there, no doubt. Not much on this website even comes close. Even better than a lot of the Japanese H-games with a budget and dev team. Hits a lot of the stuff I'm interested in and marries the mechanics with the narrative effectively. Dialogue can be just a little spotty here and there, but that's entirely a personal opinion, some other people may not have any issue with some of the dialogue that I thought was just a bit too on the nose. H-scenes are great, and the writing in those is very good imo. Hope to see a full release one day.

Nice gameplay, kinda fucked up story, but you are the son of the main villan and you fight everyone obviously, you have a companion who is a total crack head, but her crack is called tentacle sex, she's a goddamn lunatic and everyone even you notice this, but she is helpful trough the story I guess, lmaoooooooooo, the H-scenes are HIGH QUALITY, like the other works of Introspurt. Despite this being an unfinished demo and the first time this dev uses Unity to get used to the code and the programming stuff, the game shines far above most turn based nonsense you find on this site. 5/5

Ver,1.0.10
Excellent art with some well animated scenes along with high quality writing. My only real complaint is that the battle system feels like a watered down version of Darkest Dungeon, but there's still time for that to improve in a later update. This game is worth it if you enjoy tentacle stuff.

So far, absolutely incredible. The most promising new game I have seen in years.

Eld is a game in which you play as the adopted mortal offspring of an eldritch tentacle thing.

The story begins and your "parent" gets magically nuked by the combined forces of the 4 races of this world. However, a small part of it survives and since this is a porn game the only thing that can strenghten it is hot steamy sex with female participants of varying levels of enthusiasm.

Your job is to capture and breed your enemies while fighting back against the invading forces and taking revenge.

The gameplay is broken up into tile-based overworld exploration with randomized, static enemy and resource placement and turn based RPG style fighting. It's a very solid foundation that I am looking forward to see expanded upon.

The sex scenes are incredibly well made and literally every single female enemy has at least 5 scenes (2 with you, 3 with the tentacles) and the unique ones have more. The regular ones mostly have static shots but the unique ones have fully animated ones remeniscent of Zone-style animation.

Cannot wait to see where this is going!

It's something great in the making, I respect the precise artistic details that make it less rough around the edges than other games, especially UI and animations big or small. Clearly a passion project and the gameplay loop is done, just needs more content

Wait why is my porn game actually good
This game is legitimately just fun to play with fantastic art!
keep up the amazing work this is really good
One thing is make it a toggle in settings to be able to rewatch capture scenes!

Put over 2 hours into the game and I can already see that this is one of the best games from Newgrounds I have ever played. I loved Crimson Keep and was disappointed to hear that it was getting delayed until Eld was done or maybe more, but man was it worth the wait. Seriously I could play this game for hours on end if I had the time, forget adult game, this is one of my favorite games of the entire year, period. Am I being a little quick to judegement? Perhaps, but I swear every game this guy makes is golden.

Really good animations, good if grindy gameplay, and nice and working plot. This makes is a really good game if you're into tentacle fun guy.
Capture girls, breed them for lust energy and tentacle troops (not used for breeding), repeat.

Fun gameplay, amazing art.
Seriously, the "harvesting" animations and images are some of the best I've seen done in 2D.

I wish there was a way to see which monsters drop which items so farming stuff for quests would be easier, but that is anyways a pretty small part of the game.

If you expect something like crimsom keep this is not by any way , this the rape tentacle cousin of that art is top notch as always if you like non consensual sex with tentacle monsters this is for you , a waste of time of grinding well at least if this improves crimsom keep when dev gets back at it some good can come from this but still very annoying that we have this instead of the good game

Eld [Beta v1.0.6]

As the game stands today, it is excellent. It has about 10 hours of content, the combat is fun and with good animations, has management content, defend your territory with eldritch creatures, a striking story and curious characters, besides having a mechanics of capturing girls that can be used to obtain resources needed to advance in the game, as well as to obtain the H-scenes.

In the H section, it has quite a lot and variety of H scenes of good quality, besides not being censored.

While it is a very good game with what is available so far, it has things left to improve, mainly finishing the game, enriching the content that is already available (such as defense and conquest, ways to obtain resources passively more efficiently, etc.) and adding more variety of music, for example combat music in each territory.

If the game will contain the same amount of content that ''Stormwood'' has for the other woods, then it can certainly be a very good game that is on another level, I hope they keep working on it and that the developers will provide us with content soon.

I give this game a 9.0 out of 10.

Great game !
Just finished all current content with around 10 hours of playtime (1.0.5)
I just saw the 1.0.6 has a 3x speed for battle, which is really nice
Introspurt really crafted a fun world, I can't wait to see how the story will unfold and what the future holds !

If I had some suggestions, it would be to :

• Add some sidequests while farming stats for

  in the pod, currently when you capture her, you don't have much to do apart from sleeping and raising her stats, it would be nice to smooth out that part of the game
• For the territory tactical part of the game, it would be nice to have 0% to lose the wurms/tentacles to farm for mats in the "safe zones", enemies shouldn't be able to kill them in Luminiferous forest for example
• Another request for the Overseer in the tactical part of the game, please, make them stay in your party, since the Overseer only matters when you go to sleep, you shouldn't have to swap characters back and forth
• Lastly, (I'm sure this is planned somehow) but could we have a way to upgrade trinkets as well ? Since trinkets seem to have different tiers, it would be sweet !

Thanks for reading, I suppose some of my suggestions are already in the works, but if this could help in any way, I'm glad !
If you love turn based strategy games and like a fun light story along with it, please try out this game, you won't regret it
Thanks Introspurt for making cool games / art !
Wish you all the best
Peace ~

Easily a proper 5/5.

Game itself is simple in it's mechanics and doesn't drop all of them on the player at once, allowing to adjust to them. Well you made 'x' progress, mean you more or less know what you're doing, here's territory defense.

It has it's own unique art style which gathers it's own points as those are pretty rare.

In and of itself the game is a simple design and a bit harder to master but nothing that will make you rage like a bullshit DS boss. After grasping basics of fighting and getting a squad of 4 people you will start blasting through fights.

Prisoner managment system is nice and simple despite few diffrent statistics as you just have to look at the points you want lowered / increased and pick matching option. Scenes are enjoyable to look at, listen and they're animated! This beats about 70% of the market on similar stuff because the picture moves.

So far I've noticed 2 issues that are simple enough to resolve.

1. Game's fighting gets pretty repetitive. Like painfully so. Combat itself isn't too challanging if you level up a bit and socket items properly into your teammates. Fighting the same group of enemies five times in a row becomes annoying, especially if you're not looking to capture any more women and your team 1-hits enemy. Sometimes you have to return to previous locations to get something and have to fight very weak, beginning enemies. I'd recommend adding something like a QUICK BATTLE when engaging enemies to speed it up a little, basically like a AI resolve of Total War series.

2. Velum. Felt too grindy at times. Technically 6 pods yield about 300 Velum so it shouldn't be but when it's a currency on building, upgrading and getting troops to defend it also becomes repetitive. I'd just reccomend boosting that passive income a little bit so instead of starting 4 it's 10. Upgraded pods give 15 not 7. Make it so when I got out to grind out in field I don't make a few steps and have to return because I've ran out of AP harvesting from captives.

Personally what I'd like to see... Option to enable if we want to scene with harvesting captives in the pods so at least sometimes I'll click 'Yes' and see animation and don't get splurted all over the screen.

Option to insert female teammates into pods. Shouldn't be as statistics based as captured enemies but mostly to see repeatable animations with tentacles/MC and have a higher chance to birth high grade tentacles and gather more Velum.

Maybe recuiting enemies? Seeing as regions can have assigned commanders to watch over them I'd say that recruiting 1 enemy of each type after reaching assigned stats and choosing to do so would help with defense and maybe some scenes that would lead to that converted enemy having additional sex scenes.

Overall, very solid and hoping to see more soon.

Somehow has found a way to make Eldritch monstrosity tendrils look cute. Both this game and the previous games have such good art and scenes. Not to mention a story that makes me want to keep playing. Very good considering the creator doesn't even have a way to pay them (that I know of)
