STORY

You buy a new game called ‘Legend of Arcadieu’, and the famed blue-screen of death transports you to a fantasy land. You wake up in the Town, the hub city for the game. You are greeted by Sophie the Mage and Triss the Warrior. So begins your awkward adventure!

You travel to different locations and grind enemies for EXP, so you can defeat the BigBad waiting at the end of the game. In the Evergloom Woods, you find a Succubus who secretly wants to dominate you. You visit various locations and meet more strangers such as Slime Girl who claims to be the mother of all slime monsters.

The writing for Legend of Arcadieu is alright. Some of the characters have backstories, others not so much. They are so self-aware, there’s plenty of tongue-in-cheek jokes about traditional isekai anime and adventure games. The game is about three hours long in total.

SOUND EFFECTS AND VOICE ACTING (SFX)

The game has no voice acting.

The sound effects are common. There’s various attack noises, bells ringing, books/doors opening and closing, battle and hit effects. There are computer noises, explosions, crashes, grunts, fabric rustling, abstract magic sounds. The large collection of sounds helps bring the game to life. Not all the sounds in the game library are used during game-play. Arcadieu has no sex sound effects.

MUSIC

The soundtrack boasts fifteen songs in total. Music has a good variety from different genres. Battle songs loop continuously. The beat is fast-paced. The rest of the music creates a calm and relaxing mood and is fun to listen to.

The game employs original instruments. You will frequently hear the harp, string plucking, and a variety of flutes. Most songs will remind you of classical sword and sorcery games with a medieval vibe. Some tracks use the guitar, piano and drum beats in supporting roles. The music in this game stays close to the atmosphere on-screen.

A standout song is Solemn City, it’s a beautiful song with violins and pianos creating an enchanting melody. Hidden Gifts is a slow, but wonderful track with soft chanting and triangle playing giving you a good Halloween vibe.

GAMEPLAY

The Legend of Arcadieu is a visual novel. Clicking the screen turns the page and advances the story. The game menu has a basic design. The ‘Auto’ and ‘Skip’ buttons will forward the game on your behalf. There are enough save slots for you to save your progress.

Choices in the game determine which of the three possible endings you will get. They also decide which sex scenes you unlock. Battling evil monster girls lets you fuck your party while seducing monster girls puts your party in the friend zone.

The game misleads you several times. You’re told you can do things you really can’t.

GRAPHICS

The Legend of Arcadieu sports basic quality artwork. Backgrounds have a simplistic design with minimal detail. The unique color-scheme sets it apart from other hentai titles and gives it a very unusual, eye-catching aesthetic that always stands out. 

Artstyle is inspired by western cartoons with standard shadows and thick edge lines. Character sprites have no poses. Designs are cute with sexy proportions. Sprites have basic mouth and eye movements with limited facial expressions.

HENTAI

The Legend of Arcadieu has some sexual content. Artwork is limited to one or two CGs with some variation such as O-face and climaxing. The camera work is alright and the sex positions the characters assume are titillating.

Sex scenes in the game are short but enjoyable. You have action with a succubus, Slime Girl, Demon Queen, Triss and Sophie. Unfortunately, there isn’t too much variety. You simply fuck each girl for a bit until she cums and then you’re done. Sex scenes are short. There is some play by play commentary by the characters. The sex feels shallow in most places. The writing for these scenes is like something a casual author on Literotica would post.

CONCLUDING WORDS

The Legend of Arcadieu is an interesting little visual novel that sports an enchanting visual aesthetic, a short story and some cute, likable characters. The lack of sexy voice acting and basic sex scenes drags down its scores. If you’re gonna have slime girls and other fantastical monster pussies, go all the way or don’t even try!
