Dungeon's Legion Reviews

Eroge with decent gameplay

Serviceable Unity base-defence and resource management game, but pretty superficial and very limited H-content. About 12hrs to complete it on Normal difficulty, including learning the mechanics and thus the occasional restart; with no obvious reason to replay it on the higher difficulties, which you need to have completed it first to unlock. Uncensor patch required from the publisher's website. [h1]The gameplay's ok, but pretty bland and generic[/h1] Send troops to get resources; use resources to generate more-and-better troops, to research upgrades, and generally expand, try to do so efficiently enough that the increasing difficulty doesn't overwhelm your defences and income. Really standard stuff. It's executed competently, but there's not an amazing amount of depth. What depth there is doesn't really add much value to the experience. The different combinations you might want to deploy your resources are limited by so many factors that you can't necessarily afford to make use of what little variety there is at any given time. [h1]The ludonarrative synergy isn't very good[/h1] The whole "isekai" backstory is totally unnecessary and pointless and there's no real reason for it to be in the game: Could just have the user be a "demon lord" starting out his empire building without it. The rest of the cutscenes are all equally unoriginal and clichéd. The game seems to drop-the-ball on a ton of content - it introduces the concept of monster-breeding with an H-scene, and then doesn't bother showing you any more variations on it, somewhat defeating the purpose. The "training" scenes with monsters are the bulk of the H-content and all really quite bland. A couple of images per scene with a *lot* of very skippable very cringey very uninspired clichéd dialogue; and these handful of scenes are essentially just repeated with different costume variations - copy-pasted onto the action. You can unlock elite-opponents to capture, which adds a few more scenes and a bit of a corruption mechanic - but it's not handled particularly well. The H-scenes are equally underwhelming and feel equally bolted-on and perfunctory. The narrative aspect of the game feels even more superficial and bolted on than the rest of the gameplay. [h1]It's not terrible, but it's not particularly good either[/h1] If you want a brief time-waste game, and the H-theming is inconsequential to you, then you might get a kick out of this one. But if you're interested in a decent erotic experience, this one's nothing special compared to any H-game with a handful of half-decent CGs in it.
