Unyielding Succubus Princess of Arrogance is an adventure game in which you play as a stubborn succubus princess who sneaks inside the invaded royal castle to find out who is responsible for it, how they did it, and why.
Pros
Stunning art
Decent story with multiple endings
High replayability
Solid gameplay
Cons
The English translation could be better
Animations are basic
It’s short
Beyond the game's introduction, the story is told in the many tidbits of information you get by eavesdropping on conversations, finding notes scattered around the castle, or manipulating bandits. Sadly, the English translation is a tad stilted, though the dialogues are still understandable despite that.
It's a solid stealth game, gameplay-wise. You walk around the castle while trying not to get seen because getting detected means you get screwed. You can hide in wardrobes, wall cracks, and other places and use your powers to look around the map and hear conversations far from where you are, consuming MP in the meanwhile. Moreover, sneaking behind bandits lets you spend MP to seduce them and make them spill the beans after a steamy hot sex session or bite their necks to drain their blood and restore MP. Most bandits don't know anything worthwhile, but a few share important clues when seduced, so choosing whether to slay or smash them is always a gamble.
The game is short, taking no more than an hour to finish, but it compensates for it by featuring three different endings: a Bad Ending, a Normal Ending, and a True Ending. Which one you get depends on how many clues you get in the game, with the Bad Ending happening if you don't get any, the True Ending if you get them all, and the Normal Ending if you only get some of them. It also features two different difficulties: Normal and Hard. Normal Difficulty gives you visual hints about which bandits have clues but locks you out of the True Ending, while the other doesn't show anything but makes it possible to get any ending.
As for the visuals, you can tell the dev put a lot of emphasis on them because Reina's design is very detailed and downright gorgeous. The sex scenes are equally good-looking, though the animations aren't on par with the overall quality of the art since it limits itself to alternating between two frames: one with the guy's dick in and another one with his dick out. The game also features a handy gallery so you can replay some scenes. It even comes with two categories that separate the ones you see when seducing opponents from the ones that play when you're captured.
Verdict: Enjoyable
Despite its short length, Unyielding Succubus Princess of Arrogance is a fun game fans of the genre will enjoy. You may want to wait for a sale before purchasing it because of how long it takes to beat it. However, it may be worth getting it even at full price if the game's art quality and gameplay sound appealing to you.
