Pain Cage Tournament

An appetiser for the main course that is Slave Fighters X... It's been a full year since the appetiser's release, still waiting on the main course...

Good Artwork though!

This is barely a game, it's a visual novel with a semblance of decisions. It's cheap but it also has little content, I played 40 min and in those I ran through the game twice.

The drawings are amazing, and the story is somewhat interesting (if only to see where the female lead ends up at the end), but don't expect a lot of animations or gameplay, and even the story ends at a cliff hanger, basically too short, would love it if they went a bit further with the story and the animations, which makes me think this developer was testing waters with a low budget to see how well this concept could go?

I enjoyed this one; the comic-book art style is dynamic and the story - for something meant to titillate more than engross - was engaging enough. Ultimately, I think whether you enjoy this or not will come down to your kinks: if watching ultra-submissive slavegirls being used, filled, abused (and made-to-abuse) brings a delicious flush to your cheeks... well, you've probably already bought and enjoyed this ;)

This experience (I hesitate to call this a 'game'... it's really a digital comic with - sometimes hot - sound effects) is largely static, visually, but I didn't find that took away from it. The drawings are lovingly inked and obviously done by someone who is very into the above mentioned kinks! There is some semblance of 'choice' at certain panels in the story, where what you see next depends on your selection, but these seem more like brief detours than real branches in the main story line - enjoyable, but ultimately leading you right back to where the story wants to go. More interactive than a comic book, but nowhere near Choose-Your-Own-Adventure levels of decision-making.

Personally, I'm happy to see a work that has its own character; something a little different from slick 3D visual novels, or anime-styled raunch (not that I don't enjoy those as well!). Whether or not this is worth the sticker price probably comes down to how you'd feel about paying the same for a BDSM-themed comic of about the same length as a typical single-issue comic booklet (maybe a touch shorter). I didn't pay full-price for this, and I didn't come away feeling shortchanged- though I do want more!

A storyline that is both actually compelling, and which shows a good understanding of the ideas around masochism. The artwork is great, and the flow of reading it works great. It has a focus that appeals to both men and women, so long as they are allosexual (this is a little to focused on sexual acts to appeal to ace masochists), and like women (not much for straight gals or gay guys). The game feels like it both has a genuine artistic vision and like it respects what it is, in things like making every panel have something to look at and get off too, and the somewhat comedically transparent "one-handed controlls", whose purpose should be obvious. This game is really good, and while there is allways a question of taste with these things, I found that even though a lot of this isn't exactly my thing, I found it so admirably executed I can't do anything but praise it, and the presence of a little choice is allways welcome, especially when the choice is focused on what kind of scenery you would like to enjoy next.

With all this praise you must be wondering why on earth I don't reccomend this. Well once I had finnished the demo and I went to make my review, I saw some disheartening comments, so I went back to start the main story. I found out I hadn't played the demo, I had finnished the game. This game is so criminaly short, I would find a tutorial of it's length non-obtrusive. This isn't a full story, it's an origin story, a setup, it's like an actual comic story, or a short tv pilot, and when I realized this I was deeply dissapointed. If there was something like five times as much content at least, I would considder this worthwhile enough, taking into account that this is likely to be nieche and the quality clearly must have taken work. But as of now, it pains me to say that something with 10/10 quality is going to not only get a thumbs down frm me, but I'm going to request a refund, because while it's more than good enough to pay for, nothing of this length is worth that price, and frankly the current state of the game is so short I have explored all it's content in the hopes of finding something that would make it all worth it, and I am sitting here less than half an hour later, dissapointed.

For the artists behind this, if you can't make this story the first tenth of a story and keep the price where it is now, then I'm sorry to say the project isn't likely to be worth it, which is a shame because the little spark of greatness I saw was really good, but crumbs isn't a meal.

This is basically a demo. Worth the cost to support the developer to experiment more with this format. It even looks good and controls well in VR despite not being intentionally designed for it. My only complaint is the first time you get to a screen to pick an option it was not immediately obvious that is what you are supposed to be doing.

20 minutes of content, but comics are good.

Short but very well made BDSM comic. Hope we will see more of this greatness! It have a good lesbian scenes too.

Points for originality and innovation, as well as a great art style, but this is far too short a game for $10. This is a $2, maybe $5 game if we're being generous. I reached the end and thought "Excellent chapter 1, probably of 5", but then it was just over. Obviously game development is an onerous and demanding task, but if we're comparing to the rest of the market, just look at the top rated adult games and their prices to get a sense of where things are at.

Short and sweet. Something to tide us over while we wait for the main game. It was nice to see more of the art and a bit of the worldbuilding.

(+) Unique artstyle.
(+) Artstyle like comic so do the decision making.
(+) American eroge without 3D nightmare CGI.

(+/-) Need to swipe right to left, if can next update left click or right click.
(+/-) File so large for a short game.
(+/-) Personal opinion, I'm not into American comic artstyle but at least it's not as gross as Internet BBC "deck" size of baseball bat.

(-) Too short. More like proloque on what to come next. If you are shift player in eroge finish in 1 minutes.

Loved it. Amazing art work and great uncensored scenes. one of the best BDSM related products on Steam and I'm more exited than ever to see their main product.
