The mechanical armies march on: ISEKAI: Demon Waifu

Today I bring you a game that is heavily advertised and as thus I didn't want to try it out for a long time because I feared it was another one of those kingdom vs kingdom pay to win games, but when I got into this I was surprised at the lac of actual pvp interactions at all. I will also note here, this game is marked mature, yet there is no actual 'adult' content I've ran across in this game. Not much actually happens here. This game is heavily stroy driven and has a lot of graphic novel aspects to it.

When I first played I got this premium Gotcha thrown in my face. It was a special even where you got a daily spin and had a very low chance of getting a rare consort. You can pay gold bars which is the premium currency in this game.

I seem to have lost a Screenshot for the main map of the game so I have to move on to one of the game screens you visit a lot. When you click on the capitol building you arrive here. You use the levy to collect your other resources, food, mana crystals and troops. You need to grab the food first or you can not obtain troops without it. Mana crystals are used to level up your generals you recruit to lead your armies. This game has a lot of things you have to collect around the map and you take a lot of time doing this rather than progressing through the game. I won't go over everything as there would be way too much to cover in this blog.

The harem tab takes you to where all your consorts reside. In this game you can have many demon wives. These girls you have to collect through various points in the game. Later on you can take them on dates and they earn you points to your overall kingdom's power.

Here is the screen of the consort. You are guaranteed one consort at the start. As you unlock more generals and consorts they all form bonds as well that can be grown to gain you even more power and reach with your demon kingdom. You can even give your consorts presents to raise their happiness or power. Over time you can also unlock new outfits for your consorts.

Now we hop over to the portal. Here you go on random visits throughout the world. Here you will run into many people and this is where you start to unlock more consorts. As you visit various women many times, they soon will marry you and your kingdom will grow in power. Not only do you have limited number of visits per your main level, but you also have to collect things to raise your luck to have a higher chance of finding a consort. This luck is used up every outing no matter if you find something useful or not. Later on you can also acquire one time use lands that give a boost of resources once you spend a lot of time to develop them.

Lastly, is the main part of how you progress through the actual story and the main way for your demon to gain levels. This is where all your troop collection comes in as the bigger your army the easier it is to progress. After you get to certain points, your generals are needed to fight bosses and hopefully you've been using your crystals to level them up.

Overall:

 4 of 5 cogs.

This game was surprising. It has a lot of things that drag away time that you have to collect each day. Once you do that, there isn't much you can do in this game until certain things refill. I will take the time to talk about something I noticed in the reviews recently. Many people have gave this game a 1 star complaining about the PVP is pay to win. The PVP element is very minimal and not even something that gets you anything in this game. The game is heavily and mostly a single player game with just a dash of other player interaction.

Story:

 5 of 5 cogs.

Despite some very questionable translation issues, this game has a rich and deep story in it. Each consort has an individual story as well you have to learn as you make them happy. I know, this is a mobile game with a story, and that story follows a kind of graphic novel approach but is executed in such a way it isn't a graphic novel.

Amount of ads:

none

There are no ads at all, none. No optional videos for anything but this game does take up a bit of space on the phone.

Accurate Advertising?:

20%

Let me go over the advertising. In the google store, the screenshots are highly click-bait showing paid models posing in each screenshot. The video ads for this game contain a lot less click-bait than the main google store.

Graphics:

 5 of 5 cogs.

The graphics are gorgeous and HD. A lot of time has been put into the graphics even down to the detail of the HUD. There are many illustrations of character portraits and some of them are even animated.

Gameplay:

 3 of 5 cogs.

The game gets very repetitive and you have many hours of downtime that forces you to play just a very tiny bit each day and suffers from many expensive microtransactions. You may get bored with this game very quickly as it takes a long time to gather everything else before you make any progress in the story.

Free play:

80%

This game is pretty easy to progress and get every consort unlocked except, there are 2 or 3 that are locked behind a VIP lv pay wall. Which means you have to spend a minimum amount of money to unlock these. So no you can not get everything with F2P

Fun factor:

👿 Demon harem, not for everyone and not for little kids.

Are you an indy programmer or game dev?

If so, you can leave a comment or contact me on social media for a chance to have an interview with you posted to my blog. I am looking for many devs that focus on mobile programming. If you have a cross-platform game, that is fine too as long as it's on mobile.
