Unreal Engine - Wicked Island [v0.8.5.9] [RawDarkness]

The game undeservedly has a low rating. While it is technically raw and broken, it has a ton of mechanics and a vast space for creativity. The main focus should be on proper optimization and bug fixes, leaving content additions for later.

Spent 10 Hours straight in this wicked game, got to lvl 34

Wicked Island suffers from the bugs and jank.

The stiff animations and lack of proper colission don't really make it better. Which makes combat a total snoozefest because you can also spam block/parry, Making you essentially immortal it also recovers stamina each time you do it (Pretty sure that's a bug)

The Map is also... Very useless and ugly go look at, You cannot set markers so you will be constantly using it.

The Game also SPAMS enemies, You'll be walking past like 10 bears during your morning stroll.

Progression is also pretty meh... You can get Copper/Bronze fast, (IT'S THE CANCER-LOOKING AH ORANGE-GREEN ROCKS) Melting the Copper in the Furnace magically turns it into Bronze for whatever reason. Iron in the Pine Forest (Big ass black rock, Rocks with a black spots, that is Iron)

Also leveling your stats will be one hell of a grind 2 hours~ will get you to mining lvl 30 which only gives you 30% more damage to rocks.

You will also need to learn to use your cauldron early the foods are a godsend as the game has a Valheim-Like buff system and all foods deliver buffs. (Meat=HP, Veggies=Stamina)

Combat is very janky, Spears are shit, Swords are good and greatswords are crack. No idea about the bow though. You will clip through your target as you attack, You will have issues, The Demonstration combat techniques used in UE looked good on paper but in practice it is dogshit, There is also variations of attacks, You just do the same combo over and over.

AI is also shit and blind as fuck, You can stand so close to them without triggering them, And they also have the same attack patterns. They are very predictable and easily parried.

The Sex is also very boring, You can as far as I can tell only get fucked in certain encounter with the rare NPC or just get raped by monsters (No normal animals like Bears or Wolves, No true bestiality), And the funny thing is, sometimes and I think it depends on your Character's body physique the dicks don't even get inside you. and just float around. Only the birth animation is not janky. But there is pregnancy and cum inflation so that's a win in my books.

Speaking of Character Creation, This one is easily one of my favorites, Very detailed and I can make the boobs stupidly gigantic

The game sadly suffers from UE5 Exclusive jank, My good old RX 580 is suffering like mad from Medium-High settings upscaling on got like 20-60FPS depending on the area. But for a UE5 game it is good optimization, I did not have any stutters like at all. And I didn't crash a single time.

Now the worst part is: The UI, Oh god this is BAD, This is so ugly and incomprehensible... And buggy (Do not pause with the blueprint menu open), Also again the Map, It is so BAD.

World Building is also BAD, So many houses and ruins but they are all empty, nothing to explore or loot. The House interiors are 90% not existent and non-sensical. And you'll find many towers or rocks just floating and in many locations there is so little space so enemies cramp into a single point.

Even though I did kinda enjoy this is not everyone's cup of tea. There is potential but the jank is too strong that it becomes wasted. 3 Years of development ladies and gentlemen.

3.5/10

Pros:
Creative gameplay mechanics; one of the few developers willing to try something new.
Detailed survival system with a lot more content than most games on this site, contrary to other reviews.
Cons:
The animation feels out of place, with 3D models colliding without proper positioning or any adjustments to make them appear natural. This is critical for this type of game.
Poor UI and model bugs, which are noticeable during gameplay.
Overall:
3/5. A good idea, but poor optimization turns it into an average game. I'll stay tuned to see if these issues are addressed in the future.

Takes forever to get into, too much game, not enough porn, and it doesn't look good. Doesn't play well... They should move on from this.
Maybe join another dev team and actually do something worthwhile with their effort

It's really saddening to leave this review so low, as it's exactly my kind of game.

But;
- The dev updates H less often than I have birthdays, one year since the last meaningful addition.
- As others have said, the bugs and jankiness will make you quit long before you see the 3 animations available
- So with it's current state, why play? To build a big empty house before you go and get doggy-styled by the same enemy now and then? Time would be better spent playing an actual survival game where you can at least do something and without the jank.

2/5
It wants to be a proper game, but it sucks as that.
It wants to also be a H game, but dev sucks at updating that.
It will take the dev 1 year to fix all the bugs and finish with his gameplay updates to make this playable, and then another year or two to add any meaningful sex updates. See you in 2027!

i personally really like this game, in concept it's sexual Conan Exiles. it's real and biggest flaw is how buggy and unoptimized the game is. like many have already said, just opening a menu can remove your key binds and even saving my game has proven difficult. if the devs work on fixing these issues, this would be a game i could sink a good few hours into no problem.

I had high hopes for the game because it does look interesting, but the amount of bugs just makes the game unplayable. I tried for 2 hours and I repeatedly got a bug which removed the function of half of my keybinds and made sex scenes not possible to actually finish.

Maybe give it another year or two and there might be an actual game here, but for now it just isn't worth the time attempting to play.

Reviewing v0.8.5.4:

I think there's a lot of potential here, and my rating is more indicative of the attempt given the scope of the game rather than purely craft. It's buggy and lacks meaningful longevity (which I will talk about in some depth), but the feeling is there. It reminds me of a modded Skyrim, which is a good thing because I don't think we have enough open exploration sex games. Also, it gets a few bonus points for having an actual pregnancy system which also seems to be going through a scarcity.

The most notable drawback the absolutely ridiculous grind. At this stage of development, there's no reason for it to be this steep. There is nothing you really need to stop the player from seeing, because there isn't much story here. It's universally the worst game mechanic you can employ to throttle content and is anti-fun when it's overturned (as a guy that loves JRPGs, there is a delicate balance between rewarding the player for persistence or just straight up wasting their time for single-digit improvements). Mind you, not every stat is a chore, but one's like swimming can take real life hours to reach a meaningful level, and others just don't have enough use cases to matter.

Aside from that, there are a few oddities of items clipping through the floor, mechanics being obtuse (like farming), and every area transition completely reloading and resetting your character and quests causing buff to disappear, tattoos to go missing, and some crazy lag. I expect these things will get optimized as the game goes on, and for now most of these don't completely break the game.

One thing I do hope for is more customization concerning pregnancy. As it stands, it does have some basics like duration control and if the breasts and belly shrink after pregnancy. I'd like to see the possibility to birth more than one baby, and have more control over body growth with pregnancy, like growing body fat or hips, and controlling the morph retention with percentages rather than all or nothing.

Overall the game has potential, and is worth a few hours of your time at least. Hoping the dev looks at a few of these points, as I think this can be a very good game.

i replayed this game for another two hours, this game sucks, you have no clue where to go, scenes are only available when you are defeated and some monsters just instant kill you with no scenes, even with cheats i got maximum of 3 scenes.

I don't like to write "technical issues" reviews, but this just chugs and crashes. Also suffers from "map wayy too big" syndrome you see a lot with amatuer game making, both porn and not pornographic. Other than that it's 3d festish content is decent, you can spawn in enemies to see what you want other then playing it but still need to do the whole get defeated dance. Kudos to the dev though, keeps working on it.

This game is so bad that actually deserves 0 stars but well, if you want to play a downgraded version of skyrim with mods just to see the worst animations ever i guess you should install it. theres absolutely nothing possitive in the game bugs everywhere

[V 0.8.5.3.1 Hotfix]
I usually don't bother reviewing games that are too bugged to even run, but this one gets a special prize: it's so fucked up it managed to freeze my whole PC, while trying to start, requiring a hard reboot.

funny island game.



Wicked Island is an interesting game.



The gameplay is most definitely ambitious, resembling 3D survival games. The gameplay includes many stats that you must always be filling, like hunger, interesting combat, a good variety of enemies, good sex scenes, and a pregnancy system. witch is always a plus in my eyes, and a big map filled with different locations like towns.



The main problem with this game is, honestly, the optimization. You need a decently good PC to be able to run this well; however, this can be overlooked.





Overall, this game is not bad but definitely not completed. However, the potential is there, and honestly, it has more effort put into it than most things on this site. Overall, this game balances well, having both good gameplay and a good and easy way to access sex scenes, and the survival aspects are not bad at all. Honestly, this game has a lot of potential on this site. Overall, this game balances well, having both good gameplay and a good and easy way to access sex scenes, and the survival aspects are not bad at all. Honestly, this game has a lot of potential in all aspects, and I can only hope for the developer to continue updating and hopefully one day finish this project since it is most definitely great and shows promise even in a really early game.

this is indeed an ambitious and amazing project and i wanna see where this goes, right now it's pretty entertaining and fun, it's like having skyrim with all the existing impure and horny mods xD so yeah, keep it up bro

This review is for v0.8.5.2

This feels like you're playing a game that got MODDED to have sexual content, rather than one whose main draw is the sexual content. And when I say that, I mean a mediocre mod that lazily relies on text pop-ups to explain what's happening.

The gameplay is an interesting idea for a porn game, but nothing new. A survival game that plays kind of like a dumbed-down Rust.

I think the character creator is really good (could use a few more hair styles, I didn't see the one I wanted), but everything else about this game is just not polished well enough. Boring quests, boring grind, the enemy AI is doodoo and will sometimes just turn off completely, there is a taming system that becomes irrelevant because you will friendly fire 1-shot them on accident... there's a lot to complain about and not enough to praise.

tl;dr: Great graphics, but that's all it has going for it right now.

Version 0.8.5.2

I like the concept and the gameplay but it is really early to give it a better rating. Some things aren't explained (like farming), iron is too hard to find, there are still many game breaking bugs, and the game gets repetitive as the only progression is from stat changes. You end up doing the same thing from the beginning of the game that you do at the end. The monsters are feel like the same with different stats. With time I'm sure that it will be good but currently there is a lot to be desired.

I really liked this game, and have been following it for a while now. The base game is solid and has a lot of potential. This is one to keep an eye on, kinda glitchy here and there, but overall pretty solid so far.

Clunky mechanics and little guidance at the beginning. Essentially a game where you figure everything out. Extremely buggy gameplay; stuttering screen, camera flying away from body, etc.

Animations aren't great.

Worst everything in this game, animations, scripts, fighting, sex animations, scripts which making you stuck and get invisiblew items in your inventory that making you overweight and block your movements untill you die. I thought waht there will be something good, but nothing, just some one decide take a free 3D models, take just dildo models and stick them on creatures i seen those models already. Scripts in that game so worst that making this game unplayeble.

Good potential, but needs more kink, like bestiality (bears, boars/pigs, goats, wolves, giant wasps/bugs, horses...) incest with offspring (should be obvious and perhaps we can give them names to distinguish them) . If it's an issue make it a toggle in the settings you can only get with a spicey patch or something to that effect
