Eroico

Eroico is a – partly non-adolescent – 2D Action Jump & Run by Developer Kyrieru. Eroico was originally published on its own Blog, but as Steam'S Handling of Adult Content has changed significantly, Eroico made It on Steam on October 17, 2018. In Eroico, one slips into the Role of an unnamed Hero facing the Task of overthrowing a "sinister" Magician From her Tron. This is not so easy, however, as he has to fight his Way through the Hosts of her Subordinates on his way to her With Sword And Shield. To achieve this Goal, you have to hop and jump through three linear levels while bringing down the most diverse Monsters with Sword and Shield that Want to prevent the Hero from Getting to their Mistress. The different Levels are not only peppered with Environmental Hazards such as Barbed Traps and the like, but also with a considerable Number of Monsters. Many enemy Attacks can be gallantly blocked with the Shield, while you have to escape in front of others with an Evasive Motion, as they are too powerful for the mere Defense with the Shield. During the Journey, you will also collect one or the other Upgrade in each Level. For one thing, there are Heart parts that give the maximum Life Force a Boost should you manage to get a full Heart together. On the other hand, one collects stardust, which can be exchanged at an Altar for a Reinforcement Of the Sword. At the End of each Level, there is a Boss battle to overcome in order to advance to the next Level. Along the Way, two Checkpoints are waiting each level at which the Game is automatically saved, depending on the Difficulty level. The Game is a bit short with about an Hour Of play, but there are some Levels of difficulty where the Fun Can be repeated. The Whole thing is Controlled with either the Keyboard or the Gamepad. While the Game is in the GameMaker engine, Steam offers an excellent Controller Interface that results in increased compatibility. The keyboard commands can be adjusted in the Options Menu, while the Gamepad is still dependent on the standard Occupancy. (Whether the Configurability Of the Gamepad Is added, however, is questionable.) However, it is important to say that the Default Settings work brilliantly. This makes it easy to use the Game with both Input Variants. When It comes to Graphics, Eroico trumps with a solid retro look. Although the background and Level graphics are kept relatively simple, everything fits the Style and looks like something out of a Cast. In addition, both the Character and the Monsters are very nicely designed and very lovingly provided with fluid Animations. Eroico also moves in a good Retroflair when it comes to sound. The digitized Sounds are reminiscent of the good 16-Bit era and fit very well into the Overall Picture with the Look. Even with the Soundtrack, Eroico moves in very suitable Levels. Although there are not many Pieces, they are adapted to Situation and Level and are well coordinated in a melodic way. And now to the Elephant in the Room. Yes, the Game contains sexual Content. Should the Hero Stumble in his Fight, he will fall Victim to poaches, as his ' Opponents ' will find Favour with Him. This counts both in Case the Hero goes KO on his Adventure, as well as for the pure Shrugs in between. If you are not yet KO, you can free yourself from the Handles with a few Keystrokes or Fidgeting with the Sticks or Control cross in order to be able to fight on. A KO with "Happy End" acknowledges the Game with an erotic CG. However, if you don't promise This Game mechanics, it can be parked in a Dialogue at the Start of each new Game. (Adult Content Off) All in All, Eroico is a solid Mini-game, whether with or without Ü18 content. Despite the Fact that it is one of Kyrieru's first Works, you can see how much Work and Ideas are behind it. If you're into retro graphics and Jump & Runs, You can definitely check out Eroico. Although it is quite short, it is far from a "Full-price title" in Terms Of cost. There is also the additional erotic content that can also be turned off should it displease.
