Apostate Verity

For being only a demo, the game already looks VERY promising! The background art is phenomenal and the gameplay/controls are very snappy and responsive which is great. The generous save points are also wonderful too. When the full version comes out, i'm eager to see more enemies and H-animations. The ones in this demo are are already quite nice!

Love the game, the combat feels nice and responsive, i like the way they approatched defeat, it has a lot of potential. i would like a gallery mode, an option to customize controls, an option to unblur censor and a roguelike arena mode. i am excited to see what the story will be like, what new enemies will be added, what new npcs will be added and how you can interact with them.

This game has potential! It's an action side scroller with interesting gameplay mechanics, where each type of enemy attacks can be avoided in 3 different ways, depending on the attack. The demo is very barebone still, but the art is amazing, the aesthetics are pretty cool and unique. The hscenes are all defeat scenes.

v0.1.00 Much work is yet to be done. H-animations suck ASS. Unproper physics and body movement it's fucking awful and unfappable. The gameplay is rather fine, I think better than in Sinisistar. The tree boss also seemed better than the average Sinisistar boss to me (i've finished both) in terms of it's mechanics and moves. The art is astonishing. With that being said, the game is very promising and I'm looking forward to it's development. P.S. and yeah it currently has no gallery but there is like 4 types of enemies not including the boss right now so

Wish I could enjoy this game more, and maybe in the future I will.. but defeat only H-scenes are a deal breaker for me. I understand not wanting to focus on just the porn side of things, but you need to strike a balance. I play a lot of H-games for the gameplay, some just for the H.. but the ones I never forget are the ones that do BOTH.

World and character art is very pretty, but the animations are a little simplistic - art doesn't change and just gets moved around, resulting in very stilted motions without much depth, especially visible during the lewd content Lewd content is game over only with none of the expected grabs or stun animations from your average sidescroller. Not much sound either. It's kinda weak but maybe it'll get better

v0.1.0 The game is meh. Gameplay-wise is extremely simple: attack, roll parry, block. Nevertheless, the enemies are extremely telegraphed, so getting hit is a matter of not actually trying. The animations are good, but the trasition between those animations is what feel wonky. It feels like the NPC and mc have really fluid movements for 1 second, before becoming puppets again. Artwise is gorgeous, Lewd is also bad. I really dislike losing scenes because they break game flow, and so far is the only way to get to the lewd part. There are no grabs, knocked actions, or anything to incorporate it mid combat. So it feels terrible, and for such a short demo, it being only defeat scenes is lazy. Overall, try it if you have time and have nothing else to play. Because I would say it's everything except art-wise it's pretty average.

The way I review games is based on how well I believe the game accomplishes its goal. As such I will not deduct or add points for things which fall outside of these boundaries. This now out of the way I will explain my rating. Apostate Verity is a game I want to love and I can see the vision behind it. The problem is that it simply fails at everything it tries. The combat is braindead easy, you will only struggle if you are a VN only eroge gamer, which when the game itself is being called a souls-like and is clearly attempting to replicate the genre but in 2D this is a fair criticism. Furthermore I will not complain about the H-scenes being exclusively for game overs as that is a fair design choice, the issue however is that despite the game itself looking good the animations especially of the H-scenes are bad. The areas are also way too massive for how few enemies there are, the souls games or even other 2D eroge action games are known for at the very least attempting to fill larger levels with enemies that properly make it feel alive, this game fails that, you beat up like 3 enemies max and then spend 35 seconds spam rolling onto the next screen. A proper sprint or shrinking the levels would go a long way to improve the game, if someone is designing a game like this my honest recommendation would be to keep the screen size but instead to make the sprinting automatic, make it way faster than rolling, but it only activates after the entire level has been eradicated. Of course this only works on a game with no platforming, but a system like that would allow this game to preserve the scale of each level but also not waste the player's time. To defend the game a little from other reviewers, lack rebinding controls is not a valid criticism. The controls of a game are intentionally designed, and the proof of this is how all remakes of classic horror games completely fail at capturing the horror of their originals, all due to the removal of tank controls. All arguments about controls shouldn't be "boo hoo I can't rebind controls" it shows you have no taste. Instead they should focus on in what way the controls impact your play and how that connects to the game as a whole, because games are holistic and looking at individual aspects often misses this fact. This aside I believe the Keyboard controls are fine. I really hope the developer can improve this game, I reviewed version 0.1.00 for those from the future.

Hello fellow gamers, I have come to grace you with my honest opinion. It is a pretty concise game though very short, for I have finished the demo in under 10 minutes. Despite that, it has probably one of the best action I have experienced in an erotic game. I did not experience the erotic content because I finished the demo without dying once, even though the combat constantly placed me on the tip of my toes thanks to the fast reactions it requires. This is to say, this product has a ton of potential, and I will be eagerly waiting for the full release. The visuals are great, and the action is superb. I am impressed.

First slice of a great game with some jank. Pros: - beautiful backgrounds - engaging, but simple combat—basically rock paper scissors with dodge, defend and counter - beautiful main character - variety of enemies Cons: - group encounters feel drawn out to play with the combat system only ever targeting one enemy for the counter. - sex is game over only - no story at this point - can't remap keys

Fun little game, animations are very bland right now but hopefully variety and quality will improve in those. If the Dev provides an uncensored version in the future , count me in and take my credit card. I didn't have too many issues with difficulty(only died to the double elite goblin guys because they quick) until the Boss. Boy I died like 12 times until I realized you can block anything he throws at you except the dodge only mechanic. Then I died like 3 more times lol... and finally got him nearly flawlessly. I was impressed, the game felt good with nothing game-breaking. I would recommend giving it a try.

You can cancel any action like attack, defending, healing with any other action, and every action does not have any delay, no action game can do better than this one. if you watch the tutorials carefully you should know that you can avoid any attack from enemy.(yes, you defend the tree's jump attack by holding space bar) people didn't play any action game, didn't watch tutorial , doesn't even want to play game just want to do musturbation here are saying an action game is bad. why don't they just watch a porn video? interesting.

I think you should ask why you want to play this game, for the gameplay or the porn. If you want to play this game for the gameplay, it's a dark soul in 2d, with a solid gameplay. you can dodge or parry, some attacks only force you to do one thing (unless you dodge away). Enemy do a lot of damage and your potion recharge after any killing. It is fun Sadly if you search for porn it's mediocre. It's a "lose to porn" game and quality is cardboard figures, so don't expect anything great. The boss is Vore, but even if is not my fetish, i find it a little bit too simple and bland. Still, is a good first release

I see potential but...the poor animation quality is holding it back rn, nice graphics is what this demo has going for it so far and not much else. Combat is...okay... not exactly perfect or fulfilling, not quite sure how to remedy that though since it has decent responsiveness.

Great looks and art and all... fucking stupid goblin crap tho. The unavoidable attacks are a big problem when there is not enough room to dodge and whatever. The game is that retarded lose to see anything. That huge fault aside the character needs a higher defense. It takes nothing to wipe you out. Would be great if reloading after death would at the least refill the health bar AND the potion meter thing. The looks and gameplay are straight up top notch. If you like side scrollers then keep this on your watchlist

Two handed controls for an H game is insane and even then the controls are bad, you can just endlessly dodge to avoid fighting forever and the scenes only happen after you game over too. Maybe this could get better but i dont see it.

Apostate Verity [v0.1.00] SiNiSistar 2 , but no The battles with monsters are strange, parrying is too busy, it breaks the dynamics of the fight, fighting is the basis of the game, it definitely needs to be improved The main character's appearance is subjective, but in my opinion, her proportions are too huge, it looks absurd The visual style, backgrounds, etc. are beautiful, I won't lie about that In my opinion, the game has potential, even though it borrows too much from SiNiSistar 2 in terms of visuals, atmosphere, and theme, which is better to avoid, because why make a simple copy, but in your own way? And yes, usually 90% of such games don't have this, but adding the ability to reassign keys would be great, because the original assignment is terrible

Amazing art and the levels look great. Animation is alright but if that improves then this is a banger. Combat is simple and works, nothing crazy, but not being jank is already a amajor accomplishment. The parry mechanic being a small clash/shove is pretty cool as well. SFX/VFX could be slightly improved and small touchups might take the whole thing up another notch in quality. Looking forward to see this develop.
