I think the dev is moreso just reusing the same mechanics as prior-- they should try new things like global debuffs or something tied to punishing yet not really killing the player for enjoying the lewd.
ansala is more interested in gameplay than hentai. nothing steamy to really look at. zells mysterious mansion suffers the opposite, its a glorified gallery where enemies are added to a room and they just kinda stand there, with minimal level progression. in my observation, the two completed each other. as much as ansala wants to make a good game....well I guess ill just say im not picking it over momodora or Ys. hell, even megaman x dive. so for me, dont care about this project.
