The Demon Lord is New in Town! Reviews

Bad visual .. I thought the conversation will be displayed as visual novel, instead... the game just show all the conversation text into 1 screen without any visual character experience .. it really hurt my eyes

Got the game thinking it be more RPGish but I was wrong. Over all I had some fun with the game however I can not recommend this very shallow game unless its considerably discounted, there just isent enough to the game to justify its price. The Bad: The game is more of a Visual Novel with bare bones of a game behind it. The quest aspect of the game is terrible with repeating the same "Quests" over and over. The CGs are so grossly over used that the dialog dosen't even match whats on screen at times. The story is weak and predictable with a meh ending. The Good: The CG's were nice but over used as I stated before. I liked the characters even though they had many generic traits/troupes. It was also nice to get the appended stories after you finish the game. If you are looking for more of an RPG style I would recommend Renryuu Ascension or Meltys Quest.

Honestly this game struck me as being fairly... basic. BGM, SFX, and VFX are fine, even if they aren't amazing. Gameplay is much the same, and the CGs are only barely on the good side - better than average, but not by much. Even having completed it, I struggle to decide if this is an HVN or an HRPG - you get to decide how your character spends his days, but everything outside of those decisions is fully automated aside from reading what's happening. It isn't bad, by any means; I actually found the story to be mildly interesting and most of the characters to be charming to some degree or another - but pretty much everything about this game seems to occupy an odd sort of limbo from the quality of various aspects to even genre. It's not bad, but it IS odd, nevertheless it's worth giving a shot, imo. 6/10

Even though this game is 95% reading and 5% interesting but insignificant 'gameplay', I admire the sheer amount of prettily drawn art for each character. I wasn't going to recommend this but I cannot deny my love of inflation--the good kind.

[h1]Visual novel masquerading as a resource manager[/h1] I want to start by saying I don't actually think this game is bad. It's mediocre at worst and it does feel a lot like a mobile game/idler. This isn't bad in and of itself, but it's described as a resource management game with quests which is technically true but the resource management and quest systems are extremely barebones and mostly act as roadblocks between the next cg/exposition dump. [h1]Story[/h1] To be perfectly honest, I had a hard time following the story. My understanding is that the demon lord was defeated by a Holy Knight and his soul was placed into the body of Van ( the player character ) and in order for you to regain your memories you must eat demon nuts to level up your demon soul. Well it turns out this is largely unimportant and tied to exactly one persons story ( your demon assistant Aira ). Instead, the story actually seems to be about some sort of demon clan that's infiltrating the town you're in and your attempts to find the mole and protect the town from monster attacks since you'll apparently be using the town as your base of operations after you've regained your memories and power. It's clear the story wasn't really the focus of the game and thus suffers from confusing character introductions, characters that aren't fleshed out that well, plot threads that are never closed/explained, etc. This is a bit of an issue for a game that's essentially a visual novel hiding in the skin of a resource manager. While I don't think the story is well written or thought out, the main characters are fleshed out and their interactions and personalities are interesting enough to keep me invested, at least for a little while. [h1]Art/CG[/h1] I think it's, for the most part, good. They've gone with the glossy style typically seen in NTR hentais. While I'm not a fan of NTR, I do think the style is appealing. The sex scenes are well done, the facial expressions are on point and the the game has voice acting which is always a plus. Some of the sound effects are kinda goofy and last too long though. Specifically the cum sound effect. It goes on for what feels like 20 seconds which is impressive but also distracting. The biggest issue I have is that there isn't much variety in this game. Excluding the appends which seem to function mostly to add threesome and foursome scenes for all of the girls, each character has something like ~3-4 different positions that are repeated but with different backgrounds, facial expressions or levels of dress. The biggest change comes from the dialogue but even then, the dialogue between repeated scenes are often very similar. Speaking of the dialogue, towards the end it started getting pretty goofy with a lot of the characters roleplaying a pig/sow as well as your character encouraging them to flash peace signs. This led to such compelling dialogue as "oink... peace sign... ah... oink... peace sign". This made me laugh primarily due to them verbalizing peace sign. [h1]Performance/QoL[/h1] Everything here functions as it should and has all the features you would expect from a visual novel. They probably could have gotten away with offering less save slots and I noticed saving took upwards of 10 seconds to complete, but outside of that everything is good. [h1]Conclusion[/h1] I don't think this is a bad game but I also don't recommend it, especially at its current $24.99 price point. The story isn't very good, the gameplay is barebones and while I'm a fan of the art and thought the CG's and designs for the girls as well as some of the situations/dialogue were hot, you get so many repeating scenes that eventually those became tedious as well. It's pretty mediocre all around and had the price point been around $5-$8 I would have been more inclined to recommend it.

This game had potential, but unfortunately I can't recommend it to most because it came across as an unfinished product. Though the story writing was decent, in the end it comes to an abrupt end with no replay value. This is especially detrimental considering the game takes less than 10 hrs to play. It needs more story, more artwork and/or a voice-over, and less time between events during which you repeat the same actions hundreds of times.

The gameplay is basically grinding new scenes by clicking and clicking and clicking and clicking. Resource management was hardly visible in the overall gameplay. The only good thing I have seen is the art. Not worth the price.

Just don't bother. Gameplay is basic, you have 6 energy bars, you can shop for energy seeds, shop for battle meds, dungeon for cash, train for just relationship. Relationship is just repetition. Scenes aren't too bad, looks like there may be lots of them. Encountered a problem an over an hour in, saved my game, quit, came back to it and it didn't save, attempting to load froze the game. Fighting is, automatic, you can only press to use the combo skill when it has charged. Boring.

This game is a definite pass for the price, if you can get it on sale for less than $10, maybe. It's NOT a resource management game, since there is no consequence for running out of resources. It's just a mindless grind for mediocre adult scenes, that are very repetitive and very vanilla, which I guess if you only want very basic and near non consent, then this is right up your alley at least. You'll grind for a new scene just for it to be the same one as the last scene with minor dialogue differences, do that 3 or 4 times, get a new scene, then do it all over again. The art is okay, at least, the ladies are pretty good, the guy is borderline gross and discolored, but that's just my opinion. The story is okay for the first half hour or so, but after an hour or so i started skipping everything to see if the adult scenes got any better, and they didn't. I think I'm about 80% of the way through and I'm done. Not worth the price.

Well, it feels like a phone game? Like, one of those clicker types. A lot of busy work, just to unlock another stage and grind your way to another stage. Hmm, the erotic scenes are also not that amazing. Overall, not that great. I'd say a 4/10. There's some work put in, but honestly, unless you read everything, and actually get invested ( which I wasnt), there's not much there to do. All you do is, do the thing a girl likes, farm shit, unlock, do that again, endlessly. Even the fights are automatic, there's no control. Exactly like a phone game, heck even in Dragon Ball legends( a phone game), I get more choice at what I wanna do. Dissapointing. Def not worth the price, even with the discount.
