Without the R18 DLC there are no hentai scenes, it's the same like it is with the predecessor (Hero by Chance). The R18-DLC isn't available in the steam shop for German players!
A simple strategy game. You and the enemy have a base and are sending troops to destroy the enemy base. You can choose between different units, once they are build they act on their own. New in this part: You fight on three parallel lanes is in many battles.
In the campaign you battle most times against female opponents. If you win such a sub campaign, you are rewarded with a hentai scene (R18-DLC!) .
The game is good.

DLC: The DLC "Sisters of Cactus" adds new sub campaigns including new scenes. There are also new untis and you can improve armor parts with gems.

I was lucky to get in the beta. Now I just replayed the released version a bit and it is much better.

Story: a bigger improvement than Hero by Chance. I was surprised by how much they invested into the story in terms of arts and content.

Gameplay: this game has way more depth than Hero by Chance now. They added unit counter and really nailed it. The battles feel way more interesting and intense.

Other stuff: bigger, better, and more sexy stuff !!! the art quality and animation are really really nice....
Make sure you run the magical line: steam://install/1599180 in your Win+R

Reviewed with free adult DLC installed.

Sequel to hero by chance.

Simple story, be a leader, invade/defend from other leaders who all happen to be attractive 20 something women. Progress the plot and then have some special time with the girls. Art is decent, voice acting seems Ok given I dont speak the language. Script is ok, or it can all be skipped. H content decent, gallery system so you can get to those unlocked screens and interactive scenes at a later date. 3 difficulty settings, fap mode, normal and hard.

Same sort of mechanics as the previous game, but with more thought put into it. You control one base, the other base is on the other side of the screen. You can send out units periodically. Do you zerg rush cheap units or send more specific ones? If the enemy sends certain units you need to counter with ones better suited to taking them down.

Mechanics improved over the previous game:
-Units now have more fleshed out strength and weaknesses against other units. Horses are quick, great against infantry but suck against pikemen. Archers good against X, bad against Y. The enemy has the same units as you and sends stuff your way that you have to kill to get to his base.

-There are more characters on screen. Feels more like sending units rather than one dude. Its not immersive battle simulator, but it improves the feeling of the game. Also on some levels the enemy can fight on 3 plains. So you have to manage more units to defend whilst looking for openings in the enemies defence.

-There are hero characters that you can recruit/unlock. These have passive bonuses like extra health, speed or strength etc. Depending on the battles you have you can shift specifics to better suit what the enemy throws at you. Once you defeat and bone the lady warlords you can have them use special abilities in game. EG use the samurai lady to summon assassins, use the Mongolian lady to lay waste to half the battle field with arrows etc. Spec how you chose and live or die by the sword etc.

Basic overwhelm the enemy and defeat the base levels.
Ambush levels where you have unlimited resources to hold out.
Return home levels where you need to plan the best route through the presented army blocking your way depending on the units you selected.

By end game you have 9 unit types. Some are "better" more expensive versions of the starting ones. Each unit can be levelled to a maximum of level 10 and unlocks up to 3 gear slots so you can spec them for crit damage/speed/more health etc with gear you find after each win. You can also upgrade your base to be stronger and have more defences etc. There are a couple of branching events in the game, leading to a different achievement so its "fun" to replay/grind if you come up against a foe you cant beat to see everything.

Takes about 4 hours to finish and max out stats. Currently a couple of borked cheevos, but Dev is working on that. EDIT: These cheevos now work, additionally there is a speed option to double the in game speed. So assuming you pay attention, you can complete it faster now.

Id say its a decent evenings distraction and worth the price. You can always come back and visit it too if you are a coomer.

Well.. That was an experience.

Now lets get to reviewing.
Game play loop is very simple and decent enough.. and it has some serious "Mobile game ported to PC" vibes.
In a nutshell its a lane combat game. You wait until you get enough resources which you then spend on units to send against enemy forces. You smack eachother until either you or enemy reach the base which units then try to bonk down.

Rock-Paper-Scissors element defines who get extra damage against what. Sometimes you fight on 1 lane, some times 3 and there are maps where all you have to do is survive long enough against 3 lane attack with infinite resources. Occasionally you have a sort of "build a team" and choose opponents which that set of troops has to fight through until you reach end of the map.

You unlock different types of troops by completing maps which you then upgrade and arm with 3 different types of gear items. You also get both passive ability officers and active ability "waifu" officers which provide extra element to combat.
and... thats it. With dlc you get to lewd every major officer character eventually.

The art is amazing and definitely worth the couple bucks it asks but holy Christ and his Christmas does this story have some low points in writing. At times it felt like I would bleed from my eyes if I still had eyes to bleed from... then again I don't think anyone was expecting Shakespeare. For most part the story is serviceable enough and your internal poop-writ-o-meter will tell you exactly when its good time to press the old and faithful -Skip- button.

The end.

MECHANICS
Love and War: Warlord by Change (L&W) combines lane battle and tower defense elements. You face off in real time against enemy generals on a field, with a castle on each end. The aim is to overcome enemy forces and destroy the enemy’s castle, while he/she tries to do the same to you. This is a matter of deploying the right troops and using the right spells at the right time. In some battles, you’ll have to escape from overwhelming odds, which involves a tactical minigame.

Completing battles (either by winning or losing) yields money and items, which you can use to enhance your troops. After winning a battle, the story progresses (via a visual-novel style cut scene). When certain milestones have been reached, you unlock new areas and new troops to use.

Controls: mouse only

STORY
You start the game as an errand boy(name of your own choosing) living in a remote village. Your life is turned upside down when a mysterious visitor kidnaps you and explains you are the third son of a now-deceased warlord. It is your destiny to follow in his footsteps, defeat your brothers and become the greatest warlord of the land.

The story is almost fully linear and has only one ending available (achieved when you win the final battle). There’s one choice you can make which skips a small part of the story, but you’ll be able to replay this after finishing the game. Despite involving a few dramatic events, the overall vibe remains light-hearted.

QUALITY
L&W is the successor to Hero by Change and essentially the same game, with small improvements in a number of areas. The gameplay is more balanced, meaning that you’ll hardly need to do any grinding. In addition, both the escape minigame and the story feel appear more interesting (although that may be a matter of taste).

Overall, L&W is a real game, that requires you to put effort in understanding your units’ strengths and deploying them tactically. Production quality is decent: performance, sound and interface design all work well enough.



SUBJECT
L&W’s lewd is about you having sex with the enemy generals / leaders you’ve defeated and/or managed to convince to join your side. The sex is always consensual and pretty vanilla.

Keywords: big breasts, group, lesbian, straight

CONTENT
9 different female generals to win over in the base game, with another 4 in the expansion. Every general has an interactive and partially animated sex scene for each one of them. In addition, there’s a scene featuring two of them together. The interactivity involves clicking on predefined parts of their body and watching their reactions.

ACCESS
You unlock lewd scenes as part of the campaign. After seeing a scene once, you can revisit it in the gallery. Completing the game automatically unlocks all scenes.

QUALITY
The quality of the artwork is quite good, and the partial animations look nice as well. The interactive features don’t add much though: it doesn’t really matter what you click or in what order, the girls’ reactions, as well as the ending, are always the same.


Like its predecessor, L&W is short game, relatively easy and hardly original. But considering its low price tag, it offers very good value for money. The quality of the gameplay and the lewd are better than in e.g. the average RPG-Maker eroge, while it sells for a fraction of the price of such games. You can’t really go wrong with this one.

finally a geim for macho men like me, lots of se*y dialogue with hot girls with huge boobas just like irl 24/7

This is a fun and not really hard game to put in some hours. Defend your base from the evil lurking around every corner. Try to conquer the map. Level up your troops and receive some valuable items during the fights. Be careful to send out the right troops because they gain advantage when they fight the right opponent. It's a stone, paper, scissors mechanic.

Game quality is very good, much more than I expected for the price tag.
- Decent gameplay. Some battle types are quite fun.
- Story is actually pretty interesting.
- Lovely character design.
- Challenging enough but can switch anytime if you just play for scenes.
- There are some flaws like unit/equipment balance but overall enjoyable.

Worth buying for the efforts put in that exceed expectations. I mean it's cheaper than a bottle of Cola.

Gameplay better than NSFW parts TBH

Pretty fun game as there are different units that are strong or weak against others. Units can be leveled using gold. Each unit type has three equipment slots with various stats and upgrade. You can bring up to four heroes to help you with the battle using ultimate power (that also can be upgraded through gold). You can bring up to four non-heroes to provide passive to you. Combat-wise, there are four game modes. Single-lane, tri-lanes, defend the base,and formation (for escaping ambush). Base can also be upgraded. Even when defeated, you are given gold to upgrade your units etc. so that you can try again.

Story is delivered through visual novel concept and the plot is pretty interesting. I spent about 6.5 hours to complete the game with 1.5 play through to collect all the achievements and unlock all the story paths. You could go for three stars record for all missions. Beyond which, I can't think of any replayability. But given its price point, the game is worth it.

There is a NSFW patch that you can opt in. Hentai is animated, also pretty nicely done.

Overall, a recommendation.
