Lustborn

Editorial Has potential

Lustborn is a text-based adult RPG—distinct from the platformer shooter sometimes confused with it—set in a fantasy world where players control a female MC navigating encounters with creatures, factions, and NPCs. The creative work has genuine merit: reviewers praise the writing, character interactions, and the flexibility to pursue different paths (submission or domination, various faction relationships). However, the game suffers from significant technical instability in its current build. Multiple reports confirm game-breaking bugs: corrupted save data causing journal and social menu crashes, stuck quest states ("A Husband's Plea"), soft locks during goblin encounters, and blank dialogue events. The save system has a hard limit of 8 slots, and performance degrades sharply after 10+ saves. On Android, the game requires external launchers and downloads ~1GB of assets locally—a poor user experience. The content roadmap is incomplete; most progression locks at Fayhall, with limited towns and unclear how-to guidance. For a game in early access (v0.1.5.1), this is expected, but the frequency and severity of reported failures place it solidly in rough territory. Interested players should wait for a more stable build, or approach with patience for frequent crashes.
