RPGM - Completed - BULMAS BALLS: THE GAME [v1.1] [riffsandskulls]

this game fucking sucks

i think that when it comes to h-games, passable h-scenes can be fine if the gameplay is interesting enough. on the other end, great h-scenes can make mediocre gameplay worthwhile to get through

this game has bad h-scenes and bad gameplay.

first and foremost, the stamina system. this is an RPG Maker game where after maybe 1.5-2 seconds of dashing, you run out of stamina and need to regenerate it. i'm assuming this was done to make it so that the combat sections don't have you dashing all the time, but having it happen during every single overworld part makes getting through the world so slow. this is probably the worst part of the entire game.

the scenes are not very good. the actual quality of the animation is not bad, but a lot of the images are very middling or outright bad in quality (with a few exceptions here and there, probably more based on personal preference than anything else though). almost all of them are just "master roshi or some other Very Similar Character sexually assaults/rapes a woman with very little variety to how it is done or the circumstances in which it happens". there is also a lot of re-use of graphics, lingering on things for too long with no option to skip forwards, and the scene collection both doesn't list which scenes are which (just "INTRO" and "SCENE 1", "SCENE 2", etc.), as well as NOT CONTAINING THE LAST 3 SCENES, SINCE YOU CAN'T EVER SAVE AFTER YOU SEE THEM??? BUT THE COLLECTION DOES INCLUDE THEM, IT JUST DOESN'T WORK

this game is incredibly incompetent. i was already a bit put-off by the artstyle--it's not terrible, but it's definitely pretty middling, imo--but i figured that with good scenes or good gameplay it could hold up.

unfortunately, this is one of the worst h-games i've ever played. at least many other bad h-games i would have dropped within the first 3 minutes after realizing what i got myself into--but this game makes you struggle for everything, to the point it took me over an hour to realize this wasn't worth my time

even when i downloaded a full save, since the scene collection feature Does Not Let You See The Last 3 Scenes, you still have to play more!

fuck this game

I think this is the least enjoyable game from riffsandskulls
The fact the game boot you back to the title screen so you can't get the 3 sex scenes is bad porn game design
This game also have wasted potential with very feel H scenes in my opinion
At least Violet have a sex scene for people to nut
Hope the next game have Kefla and Kale and remove the stamina bar

ngl I expected more from this game from the last 2 tourament game. I mean the last 2 games the animation were good and all, the gameplay is simple enough. But in this one? The inconsistent is all around the game, first you have to move to a wood platform to "swim" which turn you into a submarine (weird enough) but then later on you don't have to in some other zone. The animation is just weird, absolutely a downgrade from the previous game. Weird looking animation like for kids or something. And the game even have stamina even though you have to run almost the whole game and you don't even have to run away from enemy? You can't even run out of stamina because you always walk when there's 20% left. This game is just weird in any aspect.

As much as I love DBZ related games, this developers games have never really scratched that itch for me. Still I decided to try this one to see if it would be any differnet, since Super sluts Z still had some decent animations. If you've played their earlier games, you'll probably already know what to expect from an animation standpoint, but I'll give a quick good and bad list.

Good-

Animations: Honestly, the quality of the animations isn't bad. In fact, its quite good. Although, I do still have my problems with it, which i'll go over in the cons. Still, from a basic animation level, it does look nice.

Character variety: For a short game you cover a decent assortment of characters. Including some less common ones.

Cons:

Character proportions and similar bodies: This might not be a con for some people, but for me it feels really disappointing, considering how nice the art can look at times. I feel in half the scenes, if you covered the characters face and removed clothing, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. Even in the scene with both Launch and Bulma, it felt like the main difference was a slight shift in skin tone. All of them have the same sort of chests, asses, and so forth. I understand this is the artist style, so some may like it, but for me it felt a bit bland. The weird thing is, they can clearly do good bodies, the male characters are all fairly diverse, which is why I found it so bizarre.

Gamplay: WHY A STAMINA METER? That was going through my head the entire time while playing it. I understand it helps make the game longer, but I would rather finish the game ten minutes earlier, then spend ten minutes idly going up and down maps. Most of your time will be spent wandering and 'swimming' looking for balls. You will also need to shoot enemies that block your paths.

As for gameplay mechanics. Its basically gather ammo and shoot enemies. Enemies can shoot through walls and sometimes you'll get pinned by enemy fire but they do so little damage that it really isn't that hard to avoid dying. I only died once due to a saw trap pinning me against a wall and taking all of my health.

The gameplay really feels made to slow you down. Which isn't usally that bad of a thing in an rpg game. Rpgs in general are made for grinding and slow gameplay, but in this case there isn't grinding its just slowly getting through enemies until you reach a new scene.

Android 18 just being there?: Not really sure why she's even there if there wasn't a plan to have her for a scene. Thought I missed a scene at first before looking over the files and not seeing one with her.

In conclusion: I can see people liking this game. If you enjoy the art style and can get through the pretty simplistic gameplay, then you'll like it. Personally, I just didn't find myself engaged with it.
