I can't take it anymore.


For some backstory, I've bought this game during a sale on February 2023 for 80% off. And like most games that the average person has in their library, it was cast aside. Reduced to nothing but a part of the ever-growing backlog that I had.

Within those 3 years, I had looked at it inside my library only a handful of times. Eventually, I caved in and started to play the game for the first time on April 22. Just six days ago of me writing this review.

Right now, I'm on the last floor of the last section of the game, right before I'm supposed to fight the final boss.

And I've lost all motivation to continue.

This wasn't the fault of censorship or grinding that pushed me to the edge. Censorship is a given when bringing risqué games onto Steam that some people still didn't expect from a mile away. Thankfully, there have been mods and addons that the community created to help mitigate the issue of the removed content. The grinding in this game really isn't that bad. You should be at around level 40+ so that the final boss would be fairly easy. I was around level 37-38 last time I played. Not a big deal.

No, the problem lies inside the game's optimization.

For some reason, the game has a sick habit of crashing constantly, and it doesn't matter when or where you are in the game.

A crash in the middle of a grinding session? Bummer...

A crash during a boss battle? Better luck next time!

A crash literally as you were about to save the game? Time to do whatever you just did beforehand all over again!!!

I had to go through the tutorial about three times before I was able to actually save the game for the first time. The last attempt was when Miu was explaining about how the infirmary worked. Just before I got the chance to save my progress. Very fun.

Moving up to a new floor for me was less about exploring and more about making a mad dash to the floor's portal. If it even had one, of course.

I've seen discussions of people finding ways of preventing the crashes from occurring, all of them were either showing no promising results, or that the results were too extreme. For the latter, there was someone who said to reduce the CPU as much as possible, since the game supposedly uses the CPU and the CPU alone (no GPU at all). So I turned on my laptop and went straight to playing the game without opening my web browser (Chrome).

It was bad. Like, reeeally bad. Like, how the hell did it somehow get even worse?

The game ran at a snail's pace. Everything in the game but the audio was slower. The inputs, animations, movement. All that followed by a very low fps to top it off. It took my less than five minutes for my brain to tell me that this wasn't a hill worth dying on, so I turned off the game. I opened chrome and it's 20+ tabs and played the game again. Everything in the game moved completely normal again. Wonderful. I'm not even sure if the game would crash or anything in that state, nor would I try to test that out. The experience was that bad for me.

People said that the devs were planning on fixing the game but I guess that never happened. So I'm pretty much screwed.

The story so far was interesting enough for me, and the battle gimmick of having to pick your party's best "recommended action" for each turn was a fun take on the average combat style of JRPGs. But it really is just the terrible optimization that made me create this review.

The game was just under $5 CDN, so it's not much of a loss for me. But I really do hope that the crashing issue gets fixed sometime in the future so I could actually finish the game.

Shhhh...

This will be our little secret...

The music shows no mercy.

Consent was made.

And I was the bottom.

After completing the 300th floor, it's safe to say that it doesn't reset you back to the first dimension for no reason like it did back in the mobile version.

I love Dog Princess so much.

Not planning on 100% this game in a day (and from now on) (jk I lied to myself), but the music is a bop as always.

Thief-Girlboss is my favourite of the bunch, with Death and Pirate Queen trailing behind.

100% completed this game in less than 24 hours. It was really fun! And the Queen of Flames is hot as ♥♥♥♥ ngl.

Just found out that the game just went on sale, but that's cool. The devs deserve my money.

The game's fine but can you guys please implement cloud saving? It was pretty annoying to find out (the hard way) that the progress on my save file disappeared because I had to reset my laptop.

The game's fun to play and all, but I've experienced some pretty big problems with the game.

First; You can only have 3 separate groups go out on quests. I have so many vault dwellers either staying inside the vault and have them max out their S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats or have them go out and explore to occupy them. I want to have more than 3 groups out for quests so that I won't be staring at the screen for hours doing completely nothing.

Second; There is way too much unused space in the building area. With me, being someone who makes my vault organized with each floor consist of 2 3-room-merged rooms, 1 2-merged room, and 2 elevators in between them, I managed to max out my vault to 200 vault dwellers while I still have room to spare. Unfortunately, it gave me about more than 8 completely unused floors for my vault, and I have absolutely no idea on what I should use it for. I'm sure a lot of people would say that I should fill all of that space with storage rooms. Really? 8 floors consisting of nothing but storage rooms? Not only will that make the electricity production be through the roof but I don't see myself in need of that much storage space. I want to be given a reason to use all of the remaining space that I have. I wouldn't even mind having more vault dwellers in my vault. This also brings me to my next problem with the game.

Third; The vault dweller cap. Why only 200? Why not bump it up to about 250 (or even have it be as high as you want it, as long as you have the room for it), in order to have all of the empty space in the building area be of use. I wanted this game where you not only have to worry about raids, infestations, and lacking resources, but overpopulation too. It would make the game a lot more interesting.
