This game might not be for everyone looking for a fap game, but I really love it. First and most obvious is the art style. You can judge for yourself if you think the preview images are appealing. Personally I love it, so big plus points. It's cute, and gives a nice change of pace from the usual affair. There's no penetrative sex in the game at this time (unless you count blowjobs), but the sex scenes are still enjoyable enough.
The emphasis here is actually on the tower rather than the princess. The first half of the game is spent playing a simple but enjoyable mini-game exploring the dungeons of the tower, collecting loot and dodging slime monsters. This is primarily to grind money to gain the princess' trust, but unlocks naughty scenes with her along the way. No question some will find even the smallest amount of grind unacceptable, but it was never enough to bother me in the least, even on "normal" mode (the game does have an "easy" mode that gives more gold).
About halfway through the game (might be 1/3 of the total game by the end), you get a new girl who takes over the task of gathering gold from the dungeons and your new task is a strategy board game using the magic portal to take territory and uncover new locations to visit. Again it's a simple and enjoyable mini-game. I appreciate both these mini-games both because, as stated, they are simple and enjoyable, but also because it feels like you are doing something which is actually connected to the world and story-progression, which you don't get a lot in fap games beyond, "bring x to y" adventure game style. So as with the art, the change of pace is nice.
On the negative side, the princess' personality seems very inconsistent. She starts by barking orders, which makes sense, but very quickly is down to becomes goblin MC's pet (even if only during play), which doesn't seem to make much sense. She says he evil step-mother would put her through such paces, but she hates her evil step-mother, so again, it's odd that she's so enthusiastic about pet play. Whatever, it's still fun and silly, so I digress.
As well, there are a couple things that could use just ONE extra sentence in dialogue to explain things. I feel like the concept of taking territory in the magic portal game could be better explained. Currently it's quickly explained in tool-tips when the mini-game is introduced, but something more in-world would definitely be an improvement. I also completely missed that you need to use a lock-pick on the princess' chastity belt. I could have sworn that she said in the beginning that the key was at the bottom of the tower, (I could be wrong). If instead she had stated that evil step-mother has the key and we'll have to find some other way to get the belt off I think it would have been a good clue to using a lock-pick.
Final thoughts. It's a good game. It looks like the developer is using this as a learning process for making games, and the rough patches discussed above show that. But there's a lot of good stuff here already, and a lot of promise. Looking forward to more of this, and whatever this dev cooks up next.
