Do you like idle and incremental games? Do you like fish, fishing and sushi? Do you like cats, dogs and frogs? Do you like chillaxing, looting, running a restaurant and aquarium-maxxing? If so, the chances are you'll love this game and I highly recommend playing it. The achievement set is also super good and fun to unlock. Thanks again to Mergikal for this recommendation!

Concubine is a single-player third person RPG with Hack 'N Slash gameplay plus Mature, Medieval and Dark Fantasy themes. The game focuses heavily on character development, deep customisation and frequent looting, as well as gaining likeminded companions and the option to decorate and fully develop your base.

Concubine is very easy on the eye and is also easy to pick up and play. Upon launch, you will be greeted by a clear and concise menu screen with access to all the usual graphics, controls and audio options. These are all responsive and intuitive to use. Character creation is also a pleasure: you can customise and finetune just about every parameter you can think of to make your leading Lady!

Once in game and through the initial ropes, you will have access to the safe zone, which also acts as your base. This also includes access to all the traders you require which will allow you to discover, buy and sell your loot, plus the dynamic map which allows you to spawn into the action, through the instances of clickable main story-led levels and side missions. Currently there is one-handed plus two-handed melee combat, as well as bow and arrow ranged weaponry: I believe magic is to be added in the future. Combat is satisfying and the right side of challenging: you will be rewarded with experience, level gains and what appears so far to be a very generous range of weapon, armour and costume-based loot. Once Concubine clicks, you will most likely find it all quite addictive and easy to have just one more battle!

As Concubine is in Early Access, there are the occasional bugs you may encounter. I have not found any of these to be game breaking: more along the lines of clothing clipping through the player model occasionally or the wrong audio playing for female enemies, for example. The developers are very attentive however and seem focused on correcting all such errors with frequent and forthcoming updates. Concubine is relatively demanding when it comes to PC requirements, but if you have a good system, you won't be disappointed with the visuals or experience. I also appreciate that you can replay story levels and side missions as often as you like and visit character customisation at any time when at your base.

The Roadmap for Concubine that looks to develop throughout Early Access and beyond appears to be excellent: this is personally one of the clearest and most feature filled I have come across. I would also say this is the case for the presentation of the game's Steam storefront itself, which is what attracted me to take a chance on the game in the first place.

I highly recommend Concubine so far: especially if you like in-depth character creation, female protagonists or female led and themed games, dungeon crawling and hack 'n slash gameplay, or fantasy games in general. So far it is great value and a great bit of enticing escapism!

Stay frosty, Robo'!
