Story - The narrative in *Forbidden Fantasy* presents a mixed bag of quality. On one end, it immerses players into a world rife with fantastical elements and engaging plotlines. The choices provided blend seamlessly with the story's progression, enhancing the overall experience. However, the characterization falls short, with a lack of depth that leaves much to be desired. - 77%
Visual - In the realm of visuals, *Forbidden Fantasy* ascends to remarkable heights. The game boasts exquisite renders that push the boundaries of the fantasy genre, particularly excelling in the depiction of non-human entities. Each scene unfolds as a visual treat, captivating players with stunning graphics that breathe life into the game world. - 95%
Engagement - Engagement within *Forbidden Fantasy* is a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. While the gameplay proves immersive, drawing players into its intricacies, the pacing often hurdles forward at a breakneck speed, leaving little room for crucial moments to unfold organically. The choices provided, though strategically placed, occasionally lack the depth required to truly engage players on a profound level. - 89%
Core Loop - The core loop in *Forbidden Fantasy* weaves a delicate balance between player agency and narrative progression. The gameplay mechanics, while solid, occasionally falter in providing meaningful choices that resonate with the overarching plot. Limiting the number of decisions players must make could potentially enhance the immersive quality of the game, allowing for a more streamlined experience. - 88%

This review is based on author's perspective and actual experience may differ on individual's own preferences.
First, Oppaiman = you do NOT create a HAREM game with a “sacrificial” hero. The point of a harem, and of the genre in general is that EVERYONE. FUCKING. SURVIVES. You want to pull grim dark bullshit – go do horror games. Go do high fantasy horror. I don’t care; Harem is in the tags. That means you DO NOT pull the I’m the hero but I’m going to be dense as a brick and DIE trying to fight something that a HUMAN has no business being able to fight.
* He’s a spell-sword = Mixed class. Not as good at either specialty as either full class. Jesus, that’s basic D&D.
[It does mean he has a ranged option that a pure fighter wouldn’t have, and is generally tougher than a straight up mage, so there are trade offs that make the hybridization worth investment… but it also means missing out on the higher level spells or feats that either class if focused purely, would get access to]
Next: There’s fuck and all for world building and you STARTED AT THE END OF THE STORY!!! Fucking hell, how stupid can you be? Start in the middle and give some exposition (SOME. Not a boatload – you don’t want to bore the audience) as to how they got there, and where they’re going. Maybe how to get to where they’re going, AFTER that introduction. Then you spend the rest of the game BUILDING to the climactic battle. You don’t just start at the end of the tale like you skipped to the back of the damned book. That gives your audience NOTHING to work with, OR invest in. You didn’t state the rules of magic. You didn’t set bounds for your characters’ classes – hell the damned voice of the elf does NOT NEARLY match her body (and I do not know why you went British accented, but at least it’s not Asian. Troupe is a troupe either way; but one is egregious) You didn’t even set up the rules of the individual races. Demon’s built like Scott Fucking Steiner; but they’re “cowards???” = AND they can teleport. Why? How… Gah.
You made the elf who’s fighting as a myrmidon (which is a greco-roman style of fighting I believe, or was at the very least popularized in the colloseum, that has to be noteably dexterous and faster – because IT HAS NO DEFENSE) warn the human who’s at best fighting with a bastard sword (and the guy that points out in the first few scenes he’s holding a double edged blade with his bare hand is not wrong = the fucker would not have a thumb at the least afterward) two-handed, that HE needs to work on defense. Pot meet Kettle. Also “I can’t use magic” but I apparently only RETROACTIVELY have a bow that fires magic missiles. Which you only put in to make the MC [Who actively looks like he has downs syndrome for fuck sakes – and a man bun; why in the hell did you make him that ugly?!?] look stupid. You didn’t state that he’s a berserker, so he can’t even call it a part of the way he fights or something he draws power from as a viable counter argument. Also, it’s Mistress. Not Master. She is female. (Also fuck Femdom ANYTHING, if she won’t call him Master, he doesn’t ever need to call a woman in any game Mistress) The way you had him say Teacher it would actually be Sensei, and given your name I’d think you’d know this.
I’m giving it until the end of this current Chapter 1. If you can’t impress me by that point, I’m not bothering with the other chapters. I do not know how you thought to make 4 chapters if you were going to rush to the end of the game in the fucking prologue. As the elf is already WAY too fond of saying “It defies logic!” [If she’s supposed to be the intelligent one between them; she needs to learn not to repeat the same phrase three times within the span of five RL minutes, being extremely generous to slow readers…]
Okay, so now I’ve played the rest of the game (from some form of mental masochism I wouldn’t have previously ascribed to) and I have to say – you did SORT OF start in the middle of the game; but it SHOULD have been the end.
* A) There WAS a way to “subvert” the prophecy – other than the fact you explain it as a demon QUEEN by “mistranslation” = He bends her ass over the throne to BREED. (Also fuck you for even in the mental state if you DO decide to accept her seduction in that first – and thus far ONLY – sex scene with the demon, telling me she DOESN’T want to be impregnated. That SHOULD be PLAYER CHOICE!!!) She doesn’t get to pull the bullshit she does; she still lives technically and she breaks as his unexpectedly WILLINGLY breedmare/sex slave. Boom = you have a harem. The way you did it is needlessly convoluted. Actively sets her as irredeemable, and NOT likely to ever BE part of the harem… Jesus.
B) You do NOT tell the player the MC was fucking the queen (an unspecified amount of time ago…) at any point. You MEET the fucking queen first and THEN establish whether the player WANTS it to be a sexual relationship. You can still have her reasons be the same, but it will come off as she’s much more available to BE IN THE FUCKING HAREM!!! [The way you’ve done it only gives her a potential to be a rancid bitch to MC on sight; and she may be fucking half a football field by the time he returns – so who the hell wants that to be in their harem?!?] * There was nothing to state she had to be loyal – she is the one with all the power in that kingdom, so there’s no reason for her to feel “chained.” The only reason she even plays submissive is because you write that SHE likes it that way…
There are several characters listed for Voiced, who we did not even meet… and if you’re going to fuck this asshole over so badly just to keep giving him “dream states” then I don’t see him surviving to the end of the game. Not even to the end of the goddamned week. You do realize that close to death can only be done so many ways; and so many times… It’s not like a difibrolator on TV (hell the real ones don’t even work like the ones on TV : / ) So AGAIN: Stop. Fucking. Your MAIN CHARACTER. Over!!! It’s fine to have the girls have specialties he doesnt = it’s NOT fine to have them be the only ones that look like they’re even remotely bloody competent. (And do you think it’s funny or something that an ASSASSIN; READ THE ONLY ATTACK I MAKE IS A SNEAK ATTACK, bitches about nearly being killed like she has the moral high ground. About poisoned food, about a “sneak attack” tactic that they wouldn’t have even had to use if she hadn’t been an arse in the first place! It’s NOT funny. It’s NOT endearing. It makes you seem like an ignorant arse. Her seem like a hypocrite, and worse than an arse) She does get better eventually but fuck. Me. (Which is ironically about the time she actually gets better)
There’s also no point in having the non-paetron version at all have a change clothing option if the only option is going to be nude. Seeing that there is another for deluxe content is just you being a dick about it. Even if I was inclined at all to go to Paetron to support games (and I’m not – for very specific disagreements about the site’s existence ethically) there are a few reasons I wouldn’t with this game. Asiding you’ve written it absolutely fucking backwards…
– First, you’re going against the genre you’re stated to be working in (It’s in the tags for fuck sakes) by acting like you’re EVER going to kill MC off [You have NO FUCKING GAME if you do that, Genius] AND you designed the MC to look like a literal retard. Aside from the fact you’re actively making him seem incompetent just to let the GIRLS show off. Then again, this is the asshole who thinks holding a double edged blade with your bare hand will be fine and dandy…
– Second, you put anything to do with hinting at a secondary version where those that can’t afford to subscribe to you can see it. There’s a difference between asking at the end if someone would LIKE to subscribe to you to help you out if they’re able, and what you’ve done. Which is readily admit you’re choosing to lock off content. That NEVER goes well. (There’s also the fact you did THAT backwards too… it would have been better done to put the pornstar/hooker get up as the non paid content and put the nude option as the paid… OR: have a cross between the two as an actual third option to CHANGE the damned clothes so that BOTH VERSIONS CAN DO SO)
There was basically fuck and all point to Chapter 4 – because you seem to want to mindfuck the MC and play Schroddinger’s Cat. Not many people are going to sign up for the first, and for the second one you’ll have to make THE ONE CHOICE YOU ACTUALLY CAN if you want to keep the game going, so there’s not much fucking point to going there to start with.
I’m running this on 4k with Nvidia Graphics RTX and it doesn’t disappoint
This VN is something else 💯
More shite from OppaiMan
Not even gonna try this one, SKIP, and will be doing it with the next one also…
Take a look at the credits. It’s starting to take a whole production team to produce this level of VN. Everything in it is professional quality. Music, animations, renders, costumes, backdrops, special effects, dialog, voiceovers…everything.
It’s a D&D adventure style story. It isn’t kinetic, with 3 chapters to the story so far. Three sexy women, as well. The Elvin girl bugged me a little at first, but I got used to her. It’s kind of a jaunty style theme and story driven as the prime goal. Yes, there is a sex scene with each woman w/ a good amount of content and animation. I would say the target audience is high teens, early twenties. Therefore, the sex is fairly tame and not too erotic–not a complaint, people have different preferences. Women will enjoy this VN too, btw.
Dev wanted feedback: I’m not very into women being bald down there. I wish the demon queen, for example, had a black 1″ wide landing strip. Heck, I wish all the women had some nice trim down there. The elf with her interesting hair color, and white for the assassin. That would have been hot.
Does this mean I am just downloading Chapter 3, or am I downloading Chapters 1-3? The description needs to be better, if it’s the latter!
This is 1-3, but in a lower post someone said that the 4k only had ch.1
I downloaded the 4k version yesterday and it has all 3 chapters.
Graphics : Great,
Story : Good
Magic, war fantasy with strong MC, characters are voiced.
Strong MC? He constantly gets smacked around then saved by a girl… He wins one fight on his own, ONE FIGHT! and that was because he stabbed her when her eyes were closed. The dudes a sissy little bitch. Okay, he ain’t little and he’s actually very brave but still, the writer is a beta.
The MC is not a sissy little bitch. Yes, he is very agreeable and yes his girls aid him a lot but he is strong and confident. But yeah the fight scene that I thought was gonna be super epic but he just stabs her before she can react had me rolling. The MC is far from a beta. He is just a nice guy and badass enough to not fret over the small things.
Agreed. MC is a beta male. In every sex scene, the woman had to run the whole show and had to tell him what to do–every time.
This is Chapter 3, but I can only play until the end of Chapter 1, am I doing something wrong?
This is 1 game with 3 chapters. You don’t have to log out or do anything weird.
After the “end of chapter 1. save your game now” screen, I just kept clicking per usual and it asked me if i liked the game, then went straight into chapter 2. He didn’t even have to have those screens in there other than to beg people to review the game.
If you continue clicking, what happens? Does it go back to the menu? You may have an old version. This is what I downloaded-
Forbidden-Fantasy-Chapter-3-pc-1080p
Thanks for the info! And yes, I land on the main menu when I keep clicking after the save at the end of chapter 1. I’ve downloaded the same as you, just the 4k version, maybe that’s the problem?
I’ll try the 1080p version too and report…
Yes, no problem with the 1080p version.
This is a VN worth playing it’s got great animations and wild scenes……..
Fun story with really great art and animations. The main characters are very likeable IMO. The animations are among the best in any AVN I’ve played so far (about 40). Great potential here and I will definitely look forward to new chapters!
Ok, I’ve played to the end of [Ch. 3]
TLDR I will NOT support this project.
First the good. It is beautiful. Not necessarily the characters as that is largely “eye of the beholder” stuff (I liked the characters) but there was a lot effort put into the renders and animations. The backgrounds were usually intricate and diverse but some were a bit rushed or maybe lackluster. The bad ones were rare. The good ones were selling points for the game.
Lewd scenes were good. Multiple camera angles during multiple positions. They mixed close ups, standaways and povs. I greatly appreciate the fact that they realize that different people enjoy different angles. The sex is pretty vanilla but that is ok in my opinion. The quality they put into the work makes it worth it. Bonus points for the jiggles.
Story, the story is well… Ok, I just wanna say that I did not like the MC when this starts. Most of this is in the description but may have light spoiler —the MC comes off as a SUPER SIMP— Random hot chick shows up and asks him to go on a suicide mission and he’s like
Derpy MC: YES I WILL GO FOR YOOUUUUU!
Hot Elf LADY: wait really? but you gonna die…
Derpy MC: I WILL DIE FOR YOOUUUUU!
Hot Elf LADY: Actually, it’s to win the war.
Derpy MC: I don’t care about the war. I FIGHT AND DIE FOR YOU RANDOM HOT ELF LADY!!!!!
Hot Elf LADY: Umm… k?
Derpy MC: PLEASE BE MY MASTER!
Hot Elf LADY:Umm… no?
Derpy MC: THANK YOU MASTER! MY LIFE IS YOURS!
As to not cause spoilers the above is not verbatim but it is the basic gist of their conversation. After that the story is VERY rushed. But even though it’s rushed the over all plot wasn’t too bad. Depending on how much content this will have it isn’t necessarily a bad beginning(not counting the Derpy MC).
The BAD… This update could have had a very good ending. I even stopped for a second and thought “Wow, I should totally stop right now.” But no, I wanted to see how the Update would play out and BAM! Illogical nonsense happens and we get a cliffhangar ending then the next screen the dev is like “gimme money and I will continue the project!”
NO Dev, this was your one chance to show me how I would feel after EVERY, SINGLE, UPDATE… are you gonna leave me feeling like “wow, that was totally worth the investment” or are you gonna be a dick and make me think “who would be dumb enough to actually pay him to be a jackass?”
That last point is very important to me when deciding what projects I support. I’ll gladly subscribe if the content leaves me in a happy place, eagerly awaiting the next installment. But if I’m gonna pissed off for a few days because they are trying to bait morons… I’m out. Post update feels are the key to gettin my money. Otherwise I’ll just wait till it’s finished and check the reviews.
Overall: This will most likely be worth playing when it’s finished. But do not waste your money funding a project that will leave you feeling like you’ve wasted your time and money.
best
The plot of the project is some kind of joke, there is no seriousness of intrigue, it’s not even interesting to worry about the character, the only thing here is very beautiful scenes!”
Great, more rubbish from OppaiMan ….
Short game for now. Story ain’t that great or unique but the sax scenes are good and well animated.
Wow, I haven’t played this but umm… in picture 5, that’s a double edged sword. The dev might need to do some research into his themes. Just sayin. Unless the guy with the sword is supposed to be a moron and cut off his own hand. Then it’s fine.
