Pally the elf is getting her ass absolutely destroyed by a minotaur in an alley and I'm sitting there thinking about how this is the third time this run I've picked the "flirt with monster" option knowing full well what happens. The combat in Temptation's Ballad is basically nonexistent, it's a kinetic novel wearing a D&D costume, but the writing has this specific cadence that keeps pulling me back. Three disaster bisexuals, a mage who can't stop cheating on his hometown sweetheart, a cleric with a corruption kink the size of a cathedral, and a rogue who's somehow the most functional one despite being a literal furry. They bumble through Axia solving magical mysteries and fucking everything that moves.

The art's that slightly off western furry-adjacent style where proportions make no sense but somehow it works. Tits like beach balls, cocks that would require a separate circulatory system, the usual. But the CGs have this rough sketch quality that makes the whole thing feel like someone's actual horny D&D campaign notes come to life. There's a scene with a demoness who transforms mid-blowjob and the anatomy just... gives up? In a charming way. The pregnancy tag is there but it's more of a "we'll deal with consequences never" situation, which honestly fits the tone.

What gets me is the NTR isn't just window dressing. The mage's girlfriend back home, you actually see her perspective sometimes, her finding out, the slow realization. It's mean-spirited in a way that feels intentional rather than lazy. The exhibitionism questline where the cleric gets caught "purifying" a cursed statue with her mouth while the whole tavern watches, chef's kiss. Game runs like ass on mobile browser though, constant reloads during the longer animated sequences. The sandbox elements are a lie, you get maybe three actual choices total, the rest is just clicking through text. Still booted it up four times this week. The monster girl threesome in the crypt, you know the one, where the slime girl and the werewolf just absolutely ruin the elf while the other two party members watch through a scrying orb, that scene alone has more replay value than half the roguelikes in my Steam library. Not that this is a roguelike. It's barely a game. But the fap material is premium and sometimes that's enough.
