Good fun, but it takes balls to be a Marine!

I think this is probably one of the best made games in this genre that I've ever played. Now that's quite a statement, because I've played waaaay too many, but Pleasure Party has been an absolute pleasure. The developers have really considered so many factors, and the product is very polished as a result. The game elements, while well constructed; are not onerous to the point of distracting from what is it's primary function.

Ideas like the combination aspects, the interests, the furniture adjustments and the differing looks and quirks are cleverly combined. My only complaint if any, I have, is that despite many characters having bi-curious traits; that no transgender characters or options were available. Also, I loved Patty, but some more diverse cultures/races would make this even more incredible to more players. Imagine all those possibilities!
I get it that the setting is a sort of all American, slightly mid-west type of college/university and city - but these are enlightened times. I would not even be offended by the addition of DLCs to extend some of these areas or features.

In conclusion - I'm very pleased and impressed with this work as it stands. There are very few problems (mainly they are minor annoyances with the interface when moving objects in crowded proximity of other objects, or taking into account unusual/wide/tall monitor configurations). There's nothing big to fault that is not fixable in an update. The most "hell yeah" features I'd love, are the diversity aspect, but I would also be very interested in buying DLCs - maybe with extended story lines and objectives - maybe with more outfits/costumes?

I've also seen some great ideas in the forums and the ideas and road-map offered by the devs - and I am excited and loving the potential. Another potentially big step (but one offering a lot of potentially new customers and probably hard work) - is VR. It doesn't need to be a full on implementation - it could even be 3rd person to start with; to allow it's use as an interface for manipulating the game and objects, but the game is a work of art as it is. I have no reservations in recommending it and supporting the developer.

A great game, in it's own right. Infact a rite of passage into gaming in this decade. The game as standard has plenty to offer; but when you've overplayed it and getting a little bored, you can then "mod it to death", and play it all over again.

Ideal Weekend fodder to play with a few friends into the wee hours with a wee shandy and a bowl of Haribo jellies, and big packet of crisps!

If you're here for the hentai; then don't spend too much time on the first stage. You will think maybe you made a mistake to try this game out. Just familiarise yourself with the controls and menus. Then; if you fancy it; talk to a few of the locals, before going to the next stage (via the menu). The reason is that the first stage is very dark; and they are still ironing out the design and playability elements.

Once you play the other stages and start to accumulate costume skins and dollars; you can do some more experimenting with the keys, and start to get the results you're interested in. You will possibly get a bit annoyed with the hordes of baddies that keep interrupting you....but you'll soon discover, it's fun to get caught by those big strong guards on the odd occasion! 😂😉

Is it a bit rough around the edges; yes, but the main protagonist model is stunning for the most part (certainly better quality than in most similar type games). The scenery 3D objects/architecture and textures are pretty much looking great, and the game mechanics, though clunkier than in a good game, are certainly better than some. As far as 3D hentai RPG sword and slash type things go; I'd say this is already in the higher end - but if they keep motivated and keep the love for this title; with a bit more development; this could well become a proper classic to be remembered and adored. I actually found the game element was worth spending time on, and the access to the naughty side of it was a nice bonus (or was it the other way around??).

Anyway... Apologies if my writing style was a bit over improvised. I don't do a lot of reviews on Steam, so it's not as organised as some of the professionals that break it all down in to sections and scores.

As someone that doesn't like to waste money, chasing a non-existent horn high, I can say that if you pick this up at a cheapish price; and you like a bit of fantasy sword and slash fighting with some kinky fun thrown in; you won't be disappointed. If you like to support devs who are really loving what they're doing, and doing projects the players love...So far, this team has produced some impressive results, with the promise of an absolute gem in the future. I really love what's been done so far, and if this gets to a good polished state; not only will I be happy to promote it to friends with similar tastes, but I'll be extremely interested to see what they do after this. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

If I could summarise the most glaring issues that I've experienced so far - it would be:

Stage 1
======
* A bit too dark (at least when you can't adjust the in-game brightness/gamma).
* The camera intelligence/error correction could use a little work.
* There are also some bits of the map, where it's possible to get stuck inside a little glitchy bit of terrain or wall, and because it's dark and the camera may have floated inside a wall or something; one can get a bit frustrated.

Also; the in-game submenu interface (TAB key): the icons look ghosted like they don't work. It might be good if when the mouse hovers over the icon; it becomes more prominent and bold.

------------

^^ Yeh, I know that wasn't much; but I'll add more if / when I get time! 🤣

It's the original - you can patch it to the eyebrows, and have a version of Skyrim that surpasses the later releases...and yet the cost is very good (it's a very old game now after all).
