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

I'll wait until more story content is done. I just reached end of content and the game told me saves might not work on the future versions so I'll stop for now. It's great game, with great art. Definitely would recommend.

Even if you don't like tentacle porn, the game itself is very good, the artwork is well done, and the characters and dialogue are fantastic. I laughed my butt off more than once.

It can get a bit grindy, and I definitely wish there was a fast combat button. That said, it's a beta and the story is maybe like 10% complete. For where it's currently at, it's a 5/5 game, but I do hope there's a bit of balance between now and the final version.

so... new to this author, keep that in mind when I say what needs saying imho.

the game's great. truly. it could be improved in some ways, but it keeps your attention the whole way through.

for better or worse, part of the reason is the over-the-top grind. the game at its core is an FRPG, and a good one, with all that this entails. so, a quest system that requires quite a bit of resource gathering plus a leveling system that requires experience... that you can only gain from level-appropriate enemies.

the writing is great. the animations are fantastic. the art is very good as well.

the GUI is mostly great. a couple times I had to escape out of a screen because I couldn't find a back or return button... but otherwise really good. I'd also strongly prefer a way to invoke the menus (where the party interface hides) with the mouse. at the moment, all you can do is press escape to get there. not optimal for us computer rodent lovers.

I also feel there should be an option to not skip the H animations after the first time of each action for each enemy type. I can understand wanting to see it (and its obligatory wall of text) only once each... but I can also see wanting more than just click button - see winnings and cum splash every now and again. implied H scenes are not H scenes imho.

other than that fantastic stuff, and I can't wait to see more.

Glad to see Intro back at it again, his absence in working with Unity really shows just how good his work really is.

Side plug, I love Gramp's character totally gives off Auron vibes from Final Fantasy X.

good game, some grind but not too much, 4 factions+mc is introduced in the opening and the beta doesn't even finish the first area though.

Fingers crossed on this one, hope it ends up being a complete game.

The game was much better than I expected. Team building, strategy and erotic scenes were satisfying. Dropping materials, encountering different enemies and switching to different abilities made the game more interesting. I had fun playing. It looks like a game that won't end soon. I eagerly await its completion.

I have a total of 10 hours in the game.

This game, so far from Beta v1.0.5 has showed that it has:

• Pretty solid art
• Pretty solid gameplay
• An amazing tentacle kink
• A good upcoming variety of girls

The dialogue doesn't even shy away from itself. So far, the dialogue has shown to be able to just properly articulate the things that are happening.
But I don't enjoy the mentioning of what the MC sounds like. That's just a little offputting. I would like to immerse myself and make this MC sound like something I want in my head.
I don't really read tutorials that often, because I don't generally have the attention* span for it, but you should probably atleast skim through the tutorials because they can mean things once you're done with them.
If I were to take every character, I do like every character just a bit more than the MC, but damn do I like these characters.
The characters are hot, and there's found the balance of making a character look short and kind of scronny and not making them look like a child.

I feel like, while there's so much talk about certain other kinds of kinks, such as anal, there would be more of it. Like most of the stuff that's in the art is vaginal and while that's great, it feels like there's a bit of missing synergy and potential. And it is there, but it's almost... how would I say... hidden.

Overall though?
The art looks really good, the animation is smooth, the sounds are great. The music is pretty good, the combat would only be missing, for me, more AOEs or an ability to speed things up so that I could skim through them a bit faster, but otherwise the combat is pretty good.
I'd like to see an option where I could put my items in a chest though, where I'd be able to sort them better. Or even just destroy the ones I don't need into other materials, but there's not a mechanic for really making trinkets, they just fill up my inventory very quickly.
The quests and things I was supposed to do were kind of easy to keep track of.

Absolutely mind-blowing! This porn game checks all the boxes - sensational graphics, realistic gameplay, and a wide variety of enticing scenarios. It's impossible not to get hooked! A definite must-play for adult gamers seeking unparalleled pleasure.

Sorry I used AI bcz i couldn't come up with 200 characters. Great graphics and story though 10/10

absolute banger of a game, the party and combat system can be a little confusing at time, but once this game will be completed, it'll def go down as one of the better games on this website.
the premise/setting is original asf, the MC isn't some bland fat bastard that got isekaied, the characters are interesting, the gameplay make me want to get stronger not only to pass the fight quicker but because every fight, no matter how minor will slowly drain your ressources, so you do have to actually plan down to your individual level ups (which aren't too significant except for the full heal). yeah, it def has potential.

This rules. They really tried to have it all in this game and for the 8 or so hours of content present, it does. There's a fun gameplay loop, interesting dialogue, great H animations, you name it. My only general complaint would be that it can feel a bit slow to play at times. The dialogue system is very basic with no auto read or skip functions other than just click spamming, and there's an awkward mixture of mouse and keyboard controls that are not intuitive. Combat offers no ability to skip or speed up animations and after a while it can feel a bit sluggish to sit through. There's a menu when you're in the field that gives you a neat overview all your slave girls, but you can't use this back at your base where you're actually interacting with said slave girls for some reason; it would be useful.

I expected this game to be too good to be true as I was playing it and that it would awkwardly hit an end of content notice a few hours in and that is unfortunately exactly what happened, with even more abruptness than I could have anticipated. The point it stops at is maybe 10-15% of what the map seems to imply, which doesn't sound like much, but what's here is already insanely good by H-game standards. If somebody from the future told me this game got finished one day I wouldn't believe them
(Beta v1.0.5)

remarkable game. it's not often that so many game mechanics are harmoniously put together and to boot , the story is original and dialogue is actually fun. drawing details are good and the animations look fluid and polished.

can't wait to see it finished.

v1.0.10 Beta
Intro and his team delivers a great game again like expected and I like how intro showcased his versatility with this project since Crimson Keep sets a completely separate tone than Eld and he in short nailed in developing.
The music, the battle looks quite polished and I personally feel this game has more elements and things to explore than CK even on it's first release and is less grindy than CK.
Overall I had a lot of fun playing it, in the latest version it ran pretty smooth for me, and the bugs were addressed that were affecting experience.
Best wishes for future developments!

The game is wonderful, the drawing is beyond praise, but there is also one huge minus, everything is very long, pushing mobs to the second level of the 20th level when you have the 10th is fucked up, at the level with portals, the developer wanted to hang himself for artificially stretching the plot, it's good that the game rewards all the suffering with dignity and on 7/10

It's a cool game with a decent combat system and progression. Hope to see more content come out of the game because of this. It's not really my usual preferred art style but it still got me pretty hooked.

Beta v1.0.5
Introspurt is one of those developers who I know is always going to make a good ass game, regardless of the synopsis. Eld only proves me right.

Eld, in its current state, is essentially a demo, but a demo with a solid chunk of content to explore.

As per usual with Intro, the art, music, and storytelling are all top-tier. And if you’re worried about a lack of lewd content, don’t be. There is plenty of it, although it’s not quite as front-and-center as it was for CK. Be prepared for tentacles!

I wasn’t quite as enamored with the gameplay loop as I was with Intro’s other project, but I still had fun with it and I see it being a point of emphasis for him in terms of future improvement. And I didn’t really find myself grinding a whole lot, just a little here and there as long as you don’t ignore every enemy you see.

All in all, I had an excellent 6-8 hours with this game, and I’m interested to see what the rest of the game entails once Intro decides to return to it.

10 hours, a complete gallery and at the End of Content. This game is phenomenal I spare the details for further down let's get over the diffrent rating of the diffrent aspects of the game first. Played the 1.0.5 Beta for this review.

Art [10/10]: If you played Crimson Keep you know what to expect and if you like the style it is as close as you can get to perfection. It is not even that only the characters are beautiful everything the ui, backgrounds, etc. it looks soooo polished it would do well even compared to other extremly good Indie games and compared to most other hentai games its mindblowing.

Sound [8/10]: Both sounds aswell as music suiting the game very well and create a nice atmosphere. Overall its nothing revolutionary but still very well executed and enjoyable.

Gameplay [9/10]: It is like a mix between a point and click adventure and a darkest dungeon like battlesystem. You can feel the improvements compared to Crimson Keep. From just exploring to interacting with characters and the battlesystem its very enjoyable and shows huge potential for what's to come in the future.

Narrative/Writing [9/10]: The writing is absolutly stellar in this game in and outside of sexscenes. The narrative has a great start with this demo and you get invested into the characters and the world a lot. I would play this just as a Story RPG even without the sex. Will one day maybe get a 10 out of 10 once we know the end.

Sex [9/10]: I have unlocked and seen every Scene there is (34 Scenes so far). I can say that if you liked Crimson Keep you will like these too. The style is amazing (a presonal thank you for all the fingering/cunnigulus content!!!). I would like this game even if it wouldn't have scenes but they are elevating it to probably one of my all time favorites. I can say that the ingame girls where not alone with having a wet pussy

Overall Rating [9/10]: A demo with up to 10 hours of Content that shows that this game, once finished, will for sure be one of the greatest hentai games of all time. Introspurt, at least to me, is the Square Enix of hentai game development and so far never disappointed me. Download it, play it, love it, write a good review and then play it again should be what everyone is doing with this. Huge potential, can't wait for what's to come for this and other introsput games. Thanks to everyone involved in making this game you gave us a true gem just with this demo!

P.S. I know some people think Crimson Keep is abandoned because of its status on F95 but as far as I know it is only on hiatus till Eld is finished. So dont worry about the Dev not delivering this is NOT any kind of money grab or similar stuff.

P.P.S Other fellow hentai loving girl (yes I know some of you are there) as a girl who is a lot into finger and tongue content I can not reccommend this game enough trust me give it a shot you will love it if you are into fingers, tongues well and tentacles of course ♥

And to everyone who made it this far into my review and really did read all of it thanks for taking your time to listen to a fan girl of introspurt and now go play the game and have fun fapping ♥

Eld [Beta v1.0.5]

I'm not through this one yet so I can't give a comprehensive review right this very moment but I want to just jump in here to tell you guys that this one's fucking GREAT and you should try it.

Super good writing, hot scenes, endearing characters, the list goes on. I'll be back to tell you all about it in detail when I'm finished with the available content. Until then, all you need to know is that this is some serious high quality lewd gaming right here, from a seasoned pro dev and you'd be stupid not to try it.

Peace.

Many-hours-later-edit: Holy shit it's grindy far beyond what what's reasonable for the content. I mean it's good, but damn. 2 hours in I was 100% sure this was going to be a 5/5. But then questions such as "Is it really worth grinding trash mobs for 20 hours for a couple of scenes with slideshow animation?" started to creep in. What started out as the best thing I've seen in years was being slowly turned to such a huge grindfest that I just stopped caring after a while. And then there's the stupid action point mechanic. It needs to die. This was so sad and anticlimactic. I've played the other introsport games and they were grindy but it wasn't a huge detriment. He really kicked it up 2 orders of magnitude with this one. Just... why?

Finished-the-available-content-edit:
Clocked the playtime at 10 hours. This version of the game has no busines at all taking longer than 4 hours to complete, and even that would be stretching it thin. It's such a bummer because when this game is good, it's really really amazing. I'm honestly really torn over whether or not I can recommend this game. I guess ask yourself this: Is 10 minutes of amazing content per 60 min of playtime worth it? If yes, then please go ahead.

Eld [Beta v1.0.5] by Introspurt presents a captivating foray into a dark, fantasy world filled with eldritch horrors and a deeply mysterious narrative. Set in the dense and perilous forests of Kalabris, the game immerses players in an environment teeming with danger and intrigue. The central premise, involving the Eldritch entity Eld raising a child, sets a unique and compelling stage for the story.

The game's world-building is a standout feature, with each biome within Kalabris offering distinct challenges and creatures. The design of these abominations, from their twisted forms to their razor-sharp teeth, adds a layer of intensity and dread that keeps players on edge. The graphical representation of the Vastwood and its inhabitants is both haunting and beautiful, drawing players deeper into the game's lore.

However, the game, still in its beta phase, shows signs of the developmental challenges. There are occasional inconsistencies in the narrative and gameplay mechanics that need polishing. Moreover, the developer's history with "Crimson Keep," a project that was abandoned, might raise concerns about the future of "Eld."

While "Eld" is rich in atmosphere and storytelling, its current state as a beta version reflects its ongoing development process. Therefore, it receives a 4 out of 5 stars. The game has immense potential with its unique plot and immersive world. Still, it requires further refinement to reach its full potential, and the developer's commitment to seeing the project through to completion will be crucial for its success. If these aspects are addressed, "Eld" could evolve into a standout title in the fantasy-horror genre.
