The story is a hybrid of classic sword'n'sorcery pulp and the "play as a goblin raping everyone" genre of porno games. I'm not super into either of those per se.
What makes this game special however is that it combines both of those concepts into a whacky fantasy world and subverts them, and I fucking love it.
This is one of a handful of porno games where the humour actually works. Unlike other f95 games that feature comedy, it doesn't superimpose bad jokes over porno tropes to make them edgy/cool/cute. It does the opposite of that - lampooning the tropes as they play out within the story. When a character jokes that a recently eaten warrior babe has an "eaten" disorder, it's not supposed to be edgy masculine banter. It's a stupid, gross comment, and that is precisely why it's funny.
The story complements the porno and not vice versa, which imo is the right approach. Nevertheless, it is interesting in it's own right and left me wanting to find out what happens next, a big achievement all by itself in the world of porn games/vns. The best thing about it though is that you play with the characters, not as them. The barely competent goblin warlord who for the most part succeeds despite himself is not a tabula rasa for the player's "choices" or "paths". He does his own thing and you the player tag along for the fun ride. Even the harem girls have a degree of personality because their relationship to the PC isn't determined by any branching "paths". The lack of substantial player input means the dev can write the kind of story they like. The results are superior to extensive roleplay -based narratives.
It should go without saying at this point that the writing is excellent.
Art is awesome and hawt. The babes are drawn in glorious sword'n'sorcery style - curves, creases and contours struggling to wrest free of scanty garb. There is no place for soft, suburban, saturday morning impressionism here. This is a Gorean parody world of manly men, womanly women, and goblinny goblins, all brought to life in bold lines and gawdy colours. Also, there are hand-drawn animations! Not a lot of them at the moment but the dev has indicated they intend to do more in the future (though given the low level of support that could take a while).
Gameplay is.... enjoyable??!!? Yup, believe it or not this RPGM porno game has enjoyable gameplay. And it's because the difficulty is more than reasonable, the lore and locations are properly fleshed out and there are hidden encounters/events that are worth discovering. The most notable of the latter being an anime intro/theme that triggers when you go to a certain location and... play it and find out for yourself.
I'd rate this 5/5 even without the explicit lewd stuff, and that's coming from me, the "what's the dl size to fap scene ratio" guy. It's a shame it's not more popular (especially patron-wise) because this is easily one of the best f95 games.
