Editor's Rating
Story - The narrative unfolds in a familiar yet promising setting. You’re thrust into a rather typical world of fair maidens and picturesque medieval life, but don’t let that fool you—there’s a tease of intrigue beneath the surface! However, the story suffers from some flimsy choices that more often than not lead players straight to the erotic content without any real stakes or surprises. - 65%
Visual - Here’s where **Aihvala** really shines! The character designs are striking, blending the medieval aesthetic with quite a splash of sensuality. The art style captures the charm of the era beautifully, and the fantasy elements that peek through add a whimsical flair. However, the execution of certain scenes—most notably during some intimate moments—can feel awkward and choppy. - 76%
Engagement - Engagement in **Aihvala** is a double-edged sword. The quick-time events spice things up but can also become a tad annoying, akin to feeling pressured to hit the right notes in a tune you barely know. The initial thrill of exploration and choice-making is hampered by a lack of meaningful consequences; most decisions seem to swing the players directly into the eroticism without much challenge. - 60%
Core Loop - The core gameplay loop can feel repetitive and straightforward. Engage with characters, encounter some sexual escapades, rinse and repeat—there’s a delicious thrill in the sexual tension, yet it gets stale quickly. The lack of meaningful choices surrounding sexual encounters can make it feel like a multi-speed thrusting simulator more than an immersive experience. - 55%
