Why does arcadey combat have to be a major part of this game?

Don't take this badly, but I think the combat is terrible. Extremely janky, I've had two fights and lost them both. My last "fight", the one on top of a rotten mattress next to a dumpster, I'm not even sure if it is possible to win because there were no offensive moves I could do.

You can't even focus on the scenes which are being presented because you're clicking the left and right mouse buttons as fast as you can. My fingers hurt and I was only playing around 15 minutes.

The game setup is clearly similar to Koikatsu party, except with fighting in an effort to stop the sex from going on, instead of performing various sex acts. The problem is that you just don't have the graphics and UI here to pull that kind of thing off.

I don't understand why everything has to be combat anyway - someone buying this game would want those encounters, but they would also want to progress in the game and it seems like if you're doing one, you're not doing the other.

I don't know... I think this would have been better more as a VN, make your choice and watch what happens type game than something revolving around arcade action and controlling your character.

I'm not the target audience for this one, but I believe at the very least you need to add controller support as soon as possible. If this is an action oriented game where combat is important then the combat itself, and the controls for that combat, need to be on point.

I can't speak for the dev, but it doesn't seem to me that the game is advertised as a fighter...the fighting is more dramatic, and not like "Defeat the enemy"...Ofc, that relies alot on my knowledge gained from Second Life...where this kinda thing is fairly rampant and unchecked...Think of it more as "I'm teasing the enemy making them want to capture me more" more than "I'm going to beat this damn boss".

Another way to look at it is: If your fighting just to "win" your playing the game "wrong". Basically in femdom - it's about the struggle not the end, it's a kink-related thing. In the end in femdom the submissive /always/ loses the fight, but for all they lose the fight benefits them somehow (usually sexually).

It makes sense when you put it that way. All the other games I've seen have the girl being dominated, not the man, and in those it's about trickery or having a situation where she's choosing the lesser of two evils when picking the sexual degradation. I was expecting something like that here.

And IRL as far as I know the man doesn't fight back physically. Though that is because IRL the man would win nearly all the time if he did. A game doesn't have to play by those same rules.

I'll have to revisit this, play it from your perspective, and see if I like it better. Thanks!

So much of the combat relies on rapid button pushes that a macro or auto-clicker trivializes every fight in the game.
