The Elder Goddess

Editorial Don't bother

The Elder Goddess is a Genshin Impact-inspired RPG with sexual content that hasn't aged well. The community consensus is blunt: it's a linear, downgraded take on the developer's earlier work (Sword x Hime), and the build is riddled with quest-breaking softlocks—players report that multiple side missions (Maid of Orocella, Confession, Dance of Goddess, For the Glory of the Gladiator) freeze the game after completion, forcing an Alt+F4 restart. The final boss fight itself is reportedly buggy. Combat balance is harsh (enemies one-shot players mid-game), and quality-of-life features are missing (no combat medicine, no pregnancy belly). The developer has abandoned the Steam version post-launch with no updates, despite the game clearly needing polish and content expansion. One player who liked the underlying charm was still held back by these systemic problems. This is a technically broken, unfinished product that needed more time in the oven.
