If you've ever played Corruption, you know what makes it good: the pure filth and degeneracy. Mr.C knows how to make this degeneracy work like few, and he also knows how to make hot designs for his characters. This is also present in Lust Village, but now with WAY better art. In these aspects, the game is amazing.
But that's it for the good points. Everything else in this game just sucks.
First, if you know what makes Corruption good, you also know what makes it bad: the grind. Corruption is almost unplayable without the mods (unless you hate yourself so much that you are willing to torture yourself by play it without them), and the grind there is one of the most boring ones I've ever seen. And Lust Village is ever worse in terms of grinding. AT LEAST four times worse. "At least" because:
- Each character have now FOUR stats to be raised;
- You can only use the book three times a day;
- I'm pretty sure you need to raise each stat way more than the three times you needed on Corruption, but I've never counted.
Second, it's not like anyone actually care about Corruption's plot, but at least the characters had some writting there that helped with immersion. In Lust Village, there's barely any writing in this aspect. Just pointless texts for a little until it just becomes random sex talk or whatever.
Third, the progress is too slow. WAY too slow. This game was first released in like, 2018. Almost six years later, it's like it's still in the early stages. A lot of characters are still on their first progress levels, a lot of places are totally unused. When you play a new update, it feels like you've played for two hours to get like, 20 minutes of content. At this rate, it will take another 6 or 8 years until every character get fucked at least once (if Mr.C don't get tired and abandon the game).
Fourth, there isn't any walkthrough, guide, hint system or whatever (only for the main plot, but the main plot is like, 10% of the game so far, way less if you consider the grind). You don't know if you already have triggered all of a character's content avaliable, what you have to do or how many stats you need to raise to unlock them. If there's a locked outfit, you don't know how you can unlock them. You just need to keep roaming aimlessly until you trigger something.
Due to the absence of mods, the only way to make this game playable is to unlock the console and manually change the variables to avoid the grind, but maybe it can break stuff.
C'mon Mr.C, you can make this game work if you want. This game have potential to be a masterpiece if you make things right, but it needs some SERIOUS changes.
