Comment on My friend gifted me a "fighting RPG" that turned out to be something else entirely

  Huh, interesting. How does one find a “good” one of these games? Like, are there ones with decent story or actual gameplay? I was honestly surprised by how well the rendering and textures were in this game, but it was created entirely in unreal.

    Gameplay wise, FlipWitch is a fun metroidvania from that side of steam. There is also Take Me to the Dungeon and Tamer Vale, both of which are decent Slay the Spire knock-offs.

      Scarlet Maiden is great too if you’re a fan of Rogue Legacy.

      …uh, I’ve heard.

    I’m not into those kinds of games, but I happen to personally know the dev of “The Symbiant” (we are on the same city-wide Discord server), which is a yaoi VN with a side of tentacles. It seems to have excellent reviews (96% all time with 500+ reviews, a lot for this kind of games), but that’s the only one I may recommend, albeit without having played to it myself.

    From what I was told by said dev, most NSFW games are Visual Novels, where most of budget goes into the visuals, which are often externalized to specialized artists (or AI for some low quality cash grabs). And as the target audience isn’t exactly there for the gameplay, there is little incentives to shape out good gameplay or great stories. But some exceptions probably exists.

    Good seems pretty subjective tbh but if you’re interested in “research”, f95zone is probably your best resource.

    Whatever you do, don’t use Steam reviews/scores on adult games to make your decision. I mean, if it’s Mixed then it’s probably bad, but there is an immense amount of 97% Positive games that are low effort tile puzzle asset flips/copy-paste jobs.

    The Lust series is pretty good. It’s a horror game similar to Amnesia or Penumbra, except you’re infiltrating a sex cult.

    Treasure of Nadia is a really good King’s Quest style game on Steam.
