Others - Completed - Lunar Crisis [v1.3a] [Vosmug]

On the whole, I enjoyed it. The story was interesting, though the motivations of the some of the characters were not completely comprehensible.

H content starts out pretty slow, but picks up after a bit. Lots of tentacles, which I liked, and some futa, which I could have done without.

I largely have the same complaints that I did about Xenotake: the player character walks painfully slow, and the girls all have "gravity-defying melons".

Performance could use some improvement -- one CPU core was at 100% the whole time the game was running.

Its shit.

Basically sums up what i think about it. I liked xenotake, which is ironically his very first game and the best despite being 10+ years old now... Ghost hunter was ok, even though it took many steps in the wrong directions. But this? its so much of a joke that its not even funny. Too little game to pass as a game, too little sex to pass as a sex game, too little of either to pass as any fun. The gallery is an utter sham and afterthought too

It feels like he lazily made it as a point and click adventure game, that he figured out has too little content so he changed it to a side scroller to drag it out (took me about 3 hours to clear it at 75%, and i'm not wasting more time to clear it to 50 and 100% considering what the gameplay is like, and 2/3 of said hours where spent on WALKING).

The few good things i can say is that the drone and camera peeking was a fun idea, although it was very sparsely implemented in the measly 'grand' scheme of things (aka 4~ hours of gameplay), and that the lazy 3d to 2d artstyle (that seems to use the same exact body model as xenotake) is still somewhat appealing, even if the nipples now look way too long on all of them and there's no nipple and body type variation AT ALL aside slight height changes and C vs DD cups)

Game is good and actually gets you emmerced into it's setting. The way the MC mutates also adds to the tension and you never how things pan out playing for the first time. H-scenes are good but one of the main problems with the lewd parts of the game is that the MC is not willing to partake and actively has to avoid doing so bar one or two exceptions.

Overall a solid game but there is room for improvements.

If you are familiar with Vosmug, PLEASE play it. If you aren't, play "Xenotake" or "Ghost Hunter Vena" first.

This game is a controversial addition the author's collection. On one hand, previous entries have better H content and controls, but on the other, it has the very same charm and is worth playing at least once.

It's a minimalist point-and-click adventure/puzzle game. It's a tech/visual upgrade from previous entries, a branching-out from the gameplay we're familiar with, and has a more substantive story/characters.

That said, I didn't fap, and I only did 1 ending. Sex is baked deep into the plot, but I think the execution of said sex was not as emphasized as in previous entries. A lot of animations were same-y, and any sexy build-up was ruined by the fact that the scenes were kind of bland.

massive downgrade from the previous game ghost hunter vena
-barely any h-scenes
-no real gallery
-most sex scenes just have an animation loop
-gameplay is more like a walking simulator
-the 75% ending is better than the 100% (it has an additional h-scene)

The only positive thing was the story. It was quiet well fleshed out.

Even if it doesn't have immense graphics especially if we compare with some 2024 games, the lore and events are still exciting.

Of course there are some minuses such as the time wasted looking around for objectives and the unskippable cutscenes. Not to forget the gameplay isn't that impressive as well.

However, the variety in storytelling and the various events (transformations, different cutscenes, unexcepted plot wists) make this game a 4/5 to me.

Visuals: It's a Vosmug game, and the art's in his signature style. Production takes a step up with the use of (UNSKIPPABLE!) 3D cutscenes that have a 90s/early 2000s charm to them.

Gameplay: It's basically just a point and click adventure. Not sure why Vosmug even really bothered with letting you control the character directly. Had the game gone in a different direction, like a stealth game where you'd have to sneak around the ship avoiding guards and such controls were necessary, that'd be one thing, but in Lunar Crisis you're basically just doing fetch quests from Point A to B to C. There's a single brief stint of "combat" near the end, but it's more of a simple puzzle than anything else.

H-Content: Honestly disappointing. Scenes are short and pretty tame. As the protagonist you barely ever engage in any of the scenes yourself, outside of a single segment. Maybe it's just the passage of time, but Lunar Crisis feels far less interested in the sex than previous games and more interested in throwing Vosmug's passable sci-fi lore at you. In a game featuring giant alien monsters, the sex scenes involving them feel like an afterthought, while the regular aliens might as well just be humans.

The H-content is really what brings this game down for me. You go for long stretches (barely) engaged in pretty boring gameplay, or long dialogue scenes, only to be rewarded with a mediocre sex scene. Overall, the game is alright, while Xenotake and GHV left a lingering feeling of some missed potential, I think Lunar Crisis' direction from the start was misguided. Did Vosmug even want to make an H-game? Or is he only doing it because that's what his fans expect, and he knows there's already an audience for it? That's the question I'm left asking over and over.

Pretty good, it plays well and the art is decent. The compact environment and tech interactions make for a good premise but are limited and very linear.
The plot is fine, it's put together competently but didn't really grab my attention.
There aren't any glaring issues to criticize but I think it's a shame that, considering how influential it was on the dev initially, very little of the Demonophobia style and atmosphere seem to be a priority. I guess the dev's art style doesn't lend itself to more complicated animations and detail, but the premise of people trapped on a spaceship with alien DNA-splicing and imprisoned monsters with a lust for human women could've gone in more gritty and interesting directions.

Lunar Crisis is a point-and-click graphic adventure that harkens back to the early days of the genre and is satisfying… for the most part.

Expanding on the developer’s first game, this one is set in an interesting albeit vaguely-defined science fiction universe. You, the protagonist, must deduce how to escape your captivity aboard a starship vessel you have found yourself imprisoned in. The classic point-and-click mechanics are rarely seen in h-games in my experience and they are mostly executed well here, my only gripes [mechanically] are that the cursor is slow and hidden behind a keyboard button which makes some of the more intense and time crucial spots in the game frustrating.

And that’s if you aren’t having a difficult time figuring out the classic point-and-click puzzles. If you are not acclimated to the genre, you will find yourself pulling your hair out; hell, you might do that even if you like point-and-click graphic adventures. There were parts where I was rolling my eyes before carrying on throughout whatever current chapter I was in.

Beyond the gameplay, the character and story-writing range from serviceable to actually quite solid for the pulpy sci-fi caper kind of way. The female antagonists all have defined personalities and goals, though at times I wondered if the writer wanted to do more with them. The true ending of the game airs of plot beats not really covered in the game and ultimately it does feel like this is only a partial completion of a rough draft of the story. Due to the fact the character you play is a silent protagonist without much choice–in a game that implies there’s some illusion of choice but never capitalizes on that illusion. Foregoing a review with spoilers, in the middle of the game you are given a choice of giving in to something or not and while it affects you unlocking one minute or two of exposition in the true ending, it is never a choice that actually impacts anything. It’s just there to make you think it does. The story is good in a barebones way, it just needed a few more rewrites.

That’s really the only central criticism I have with this title, though others might be dismayed that the sex animations are bland and one-note, or that certain characters get less screentime when it comes to those kind of scenes, or that the gallery is more of a scene maker that never really functionally works well. For me, I came for the erotic scenarios and got a wholly worthwhile point-and-click graphic adventure that could have been better but exceeded expectations. I think that’s pretty okay by my book.

Check it out and decide for yourself if its worth it for you!

v1.0
Vosmug is at it again, dropping this point and click adventure, the story involves sneaking round a spaceship as a prisoner, hacking everything, unleashing the prisoners on the crew, and neutralizing all the crew.

It's a bit lacking in the H-department in terms of number of scenes, especially with this dumb gallery viewer, not to mention that there are event animations which aren't in the gallery, kinda dumb, and viewing a few gallery entries just straight up crashes the game, really really dumb, but since Vosmug releases once every ~5 years I will allow it. 5/5.

It's a Vosmug game so your perception of this game will depend on how much you enjoyed their other games.

The gameplay loop is simple but achieves its purpose, although the controls are a bit clunky, since the game clearly tries to be a point and click game.

The story isn't anything too special, but it's certainly better than most hentai games with some unexpected twists if you go for the 100% ending.

Other than that the porn is solid, but make sure to enjoy it while playing, since the "gallery" is quite bad.

Overall I would recommend this game if you don't mind a bit of chunkiness.

Good VN, mediocre point'n'click adventure, awful porn.
I'd give it 3/5, but its originality worths an additional star.

Unlike previous games, here Vosmug tried to do a different genre and a complex plot at the same time, and succeeded, but got exhausted and failed everything else.

was this even made by vosmug? terrible everything. barely any porn. this took 5 years? how? its way too much "strategy" and very little actual hentai or porn. the animations are 100% recycled and overall this is wildly disappointing and underwhelming.

Lunar Crisis is another Vosmug game which means a couple of three things: side-scrolling, puzzle-solving, a little combat, a lot of narrative/characterization and sex only when it suits what's happening in the story. There is plenty of sex, but this isn't a "run into enemy, receive sex scene" kind of game. It's a puzzle game with a plot and people will fuck in it. (If you don't care about that there's an asset gallery.)

You play as a cyborg hacker who is taken into custody by a stratocratic regime of very busty women for a mysterious crime. You have to use subterfuge to cause havoc and potentially escape (this is where the puzzle elements come in.) There's also sex-crazed aliens onboard who are also prisoners. You can see where this is going.

The girls all look very similar (but I chalk that up to a deliberate art style) while the aliens are all ugly and different-looking. There's not a lot of difference between the animations, but the animation itself is well made.

The game isn't getting a 5 star rating because a character has sex in 12 different positions... it's because you learn about a character and then they get tangled up with an alien or some other sexy misfortune. This sounds hokey, but it's a horror game with aliens. The writing matters. Vosmug knows how to tell an enjoyable story and characterize his cast. I'm emphasizing this because I wish more porn game devs did it as competently as him.

The game is roughly 6 - 7 hours long and I counted about 15 scenes. That puts it at about 2 scenes per hour. The art style is also very flat "early 2000s" in an era where stuff like Pure Onyx exists. If you don't want to play through an episode of Flash Cartoon Star Trek before seeing bimboXalien monster action then this game might not appeal to you.

If you enjoy this, Xenotake and Ghost Hunter Vena are more of the same.

So, yeah, this edition of Vosmug is a glorified "point and click adventure" without any real combat. One brief section late in the game might barely qualify, but for the most part, you aren't defeating direct encounters.

That said, I found the story oddly compelling - it tries to dip its toes into "hard sci fi" at some points and kind of fails miserably, but there's enough back and forth going on between the sets of characters involved, as well as moments of more dynamic interaction, that the plot rarely feels like it's stagnating. I played through the whole thing (about 4 hrs) in one sitting with enough interest kept throughout to keep going, and even wanted a little more by the end.

However, in raw H-content alone, this game also feels like the weakest of Vosmug's works unfortunately. Where other games had fun things like wading through and visibily getting covered in a suspiciously creamy white substance, or sneaking past ghosts of myriad shapes and sizes to avoid getting ectoplasm'd, this game has both significantly less H-content numerically and less uniqueness within that H-content. Tentacles are cool and all, but the animations only really have two phases and they're kinda samey. The spiciest part there was, was when you get a very fleeting moment to see one character get cumflated. One time in the whole game.

So, that's where the one star went. I'd have cut it to 3, but it's rare that a game's story on this site keeps me engaged the way it did, so it keeps a 4. Don't come here if you're hoping for a good fap, but play it to kill a few hours and get a bit horny while doing it.

another good game from vosmug, tho i think this one is weaker than xenotake or ghost hunter vena for its formatting as more of a pure sidescroller.

the content in the game feels limited. in vosmug's other titles you'd get scenes with various stages with unique looping animations and a finishing sequence for both combat animations and regular story scenes.
here most scenes are one loop that swaps to a completely different loop, that later end in a black screen or with the finale 'skipped'. a lot of the game's content is also environmental, and features only a single loop.
it might also be worth noting that vosmug has been kinda doing the same side or front view animations ever since he started, just iterating on them, so there's none of the more unique posing or framing that's been developed over the past few years of presenting animated 2d sex, ala what you can see in other titles like night of revenge.

the focus of the game is also more distinctly tentacles, though there is still some futa and male humanoid/monster content as per usual, so that might also bring it up or down for you.

it's another great title with that distinctive artstyle, good animation, sound and an interesting story & setting, with the non-sexual presentation much improved from his past titles. the gore used for alien kills is great which show's vosmugs origins, but that is thankfully only used for cool factor and not as guro lol.

play this, also play xenotake and ghost hunter vena.

Another masterpiece from Vosmug. I was following this project for a while and waiting eagerly for it to come out. Played it today and finished it in one sitting. I hope he continues making amazing games like this for years to come.

Overall production and quality-wise, Vosmug has seen a significant improvement over the years since Xenotake. The animations are fluid, the game feels smooth, there's even some proper 3D cutscenes. The audio design, mix-and-matching the soundtrack to an appropriate atmosphere of the game is also something noticeable.

Unfortunately, as a game, I have to say that it feels like a step back somehow. Vosmug wanted to experiment, or perhaps simply got tired of complex gameplay causing complex bugs, and did this one as something of a point and click adventure game - to keep the pretense of a "game" instead of it being a "visual novel". All of the "adventuring" pretty much boils down to "find thing A, bring it to place B", and I could NOT shake off the feeling that I am, "playing" something that is basically in fact just a visual novel. There's very few moments in the game where you can actually lose and have to reload.

By far the best part of the game is writing. The plot is interesting, the characters are compelling, I was thoroughly invested from the very start in finding out what the player character's motivations and goals are. The plot also takes many unexpecting twists and turns, I caught myself with an "oh fuck!" moment at least three times.

The fact that the characters are compelling is kind of the game's detriment to me, because, well, most of them basically serve the purpose of being rape bait. Finding out their complex emotions and motivations and then empathizing with them conflicts with the enjoyment of any rape content... which is pretty much all the content there is in the game.
But maybe that's my personal skill issue or something.

Slight spoiler:
The ending was somewhat of a disappointment. Singular, because you just unlock more of the same ending as you meet the proper conditions. It also has a bit of a twist in it, and the very finale is, of course, bittersweet. Which is fine in its own way, but I feel like it needed some more epilogue/closure.

It's a pretty fun game with an engaging story. I like how you play as the bad guy, which is a unique POV. The story cutscenes were well-made! The H scenes seemed well made as well, but I was hoping for more variety; it's like 99% tentacles, and even among the different alien species, it's about the same animation. Honestly, what kept me playing wasn't the fapping, though; it was the story; it's pretty good, especially for this genre. I had some gripes during the one and only boss battle since the timing was so tight and I was fighting controls, but it was a solid 5 hr experience for me. I also would have liked more interactivity with the girls (big R-word kink), and there were so many opportunities where the MC could have had his way but was forced to move on due to the objective. 4.5 out of 5 from me!

This is a really good game, it far exceeded my expectations and I was impressed by how interesting the story is, it was also nostalgic that they used the NSFW theme, the reason why I don't give it 5 stars is because on many occasions the The protagonist does not participate in sexual scenes and that left me upset, the sexual scenes are secondary events and the protagonist is almost always excluded. but the gameplay and the story are really good, I have mixed feelings about whether it should have 4 or 3 stars, in the end I decided on 4 to compare it with the rest of the games that are uploaded here.
