Efflorescence of Lust Reviews

Not bad of a game love it it's what I like to say it makes you "hyper"

Budget puzzle game with some anime chicks. What more you can ask from life? Recycling is generally considered positive and useful. However, within the gaming sphere, people tend to be much less charitable towards such practices. The relevance of these words is clear concerning the title at hand. Once launched, the Efflorescence of Lust reveals the full scope of the dreary practice. Two modes greet your eyes when the play button is pressed: Jigsaw and Clicker. The Jigsaw mode offers seven stages of bare-bone picture completion. The number of pieces increases slightly as you make progress, but none of the stages require much time to deal with. To make things even more trivial, a complete picture looms in the right-top corner, showing players what they're aiming to achieve. For those who care about achievements, a time-limited completion challenge is available, but still very much optional since you can simply press the Clear button to earn all without any sweat off your back. Next, the Clicker mode, with one less stage than the other option, namely: six. Here you're tasked with clicking specified appearing objects. You have only a few seconds to respond or the target is gone. Additionally, clicking the wrong item announces your misdeed with a big X, and once three mistakes are made the show is over. This mode is more challenging as it demands quick response and precision. Additionally, for ambitious achievement hunters who don't just click Clear, a time limit is an option. That's all in terms of the gameplay content. Nothing innovative or elaborate can be found here. The minimal price reflect the amount of the content, but I still feel disappointed. I played simimlar budget puzzle titles that still offered something to enjoy, here I could barely find anything of worth. Overall, my day is immesurable and my disappointment ruined(or something :)). Now here comes the recycling bit. Here comes the startling realization, both modes contain reused art. The Puzzle mode contains art from the VN called Gazing from Beyond published by the translation offender SakuraGame. The Clicker mode art comes from another game by the same publisher: Landlord Girls, which is not available on Steam anymore. While I have no real complaints about the art itself, it's the shameless copy-paste (if legal) that irks me. Nowadays even low-budget puzzle ero games contain original art. I strongly suspect that simple laziness and/or theft happened here. Can't condone it. As for the audio side, I have neither flattery nor scorn to offer. Simple generic background tunes are all you expect from low-effort products, and this is precisely that. Can't recall any of the in-game tracks, which is both positive and negative, depending on your perspective. I kinda expected this so I'm ok with this aspect. Just ambivalent feeling left. No bugs were encountered. To conclude, this budget puzzle combination of jigsaws and clickers offers very simplistic gameplay and no originality. Copied art and generic music do little to increase the appeal of this title. I am more disappointed than expected(and I hold the bar low for such games) and honestly can't recommend it to others: 3.2/10
