Horny game review #7: Monster Girl Dreams, a battle fuck RPG made in Ren'Py of all things. I'm gonna talk briefly about the plot and then go crazy about the gameplay mechanics.
I can appreciate porn game worldbuilding when it's clearly just there to excuse all the weird sex you're gonna have. There is a LOT of exposition before getting into gameplay, but it's at least sort of funny. Basically, you're a guy (no gender/pronoun choices :/ just name), and you're getting shipped out to Monster Island to fight in the monster war, except it turns out: due to a magic curse, you can't fight normally on Monster Island. You can only fuck. And boy do all the monster ladies wanna fuck you to death.
Halfway through the exposition, you're going to get this terrifying character creation screen that rivals the confusingness of any tabletop RPG i've ever played. This is the stats menu. You will see it a lot during gameplay so you gotta learn how to use it.
[why is it circles.]
If you remember the battle sex mechanics from Lust Doll Plus, this game is sort of similar, but with NO normal HP mechanics. You have an arousal meter that goes up with each "attack," but unlike in Lust Doll, this guy has the ability to cum at least 3 whole times before passing out in the woods. Those meters are decided by the first 3 stats in the middle circle (Arousal, Energy, Spirit). The 5 stats below that are used like classic D&D stats: actions and saving throws will make checks using those stats. And then luck, at the bottom, has a random chance of improving all the other stats, and helps some other random situations. Great! So what's the other two circles?
The left circle is a rundown of how sensitive areas of your body are, and are basically all the "targets" that can be attacked in this game. The percentage is what the damage will be multiplied by when applied to your player character, so the higher it is, the more being targeted by those attacks will get you going. Turn sensitivities up to get extra points to spend on turning other sensitivities down.
Similarly, the right circle is your fetishes, or in the context of battle sex, your major weaknesses. This list is also the categories for each attack you can use. Think pokemon typings, attacks under these categories will do extra damage to you. Getting to know these "typings" will also help you against enemies in games, as each enemy type has their own fetishes you can use against them. You have to choose a certain amount to start the game, but you can actually gain fetishes (and sensitivities) as you go if you experience too much of one attack. I think this mechanic is weird for a porn game, cause what if I genuinely do not like ass play? It's not my fault I had to go through an area with a bunch of slime girls trying to crawl up there. There is a method of removing fetishes, but it requires in-game currency, which makes sense for balancing but. C'mon man. Somewhere under all these numbers there's supposed to be a porn game.
And that's just the player stats! The actual system of attacking includes prepping various "stances" (you can't go straight from standing to fucking someone, you need to initiate the sex stance) and managing "status effects" (just look at the wiki for this one). I won't even try explaining the perks list (wiki again). There's "recoil" damage for attacks like fucking or making out where you get horny from it too. You gotta work up money to buy equipment and learn new skills. This is a serious RPG.
Quick side tangent, get the bar and brothel job. Go be a slutty little waiter. It's all the sex scenes of the battle part, but with no stakes. Just normal sex for extra money. Well. And maybe some impacts to your stats. It's random what scenes you'll get, but there's some great NPCs in this section that you normally won't encounter til much later. If i had the patience to draw fanart I would absolutely draw my girl Beris.
Honestly, as a porn game, it's ehh. So many numbers, so much grinding (not the good kind 😔), so much normal straight sex. The creator has confirmed no gay or trans encounters will be added, and also no "furries" which is a wild claim for a monster fucking game. However, as a game, I am at least fascinated. I've made it past the first dungeon, and I might come back around sometime to see how much else this game has. It seems like there's a lot.
No monster girl art today. Maybe another time. Thanks for reading!
