Thanks to the campaign’s success, Subverse will include full voice acting, additional animations, an adult manga adaptation with real doujin artists (or Japanese adult comic creators), and additional polish to assure the game launches at 'the highest possible quality.' “You typically see visual novels, management sims, or puzzle games with a lewd hook: a fully 3D action and turned-based strategy game is altogether unusual, and it has an impressive amount of visual polish (compared to the competition anyway).”Īfter initially asking for £150,000 (approximately $195,000 USD) to build Subverse's full 10 chapters, the Kickstarter surpassed its final £1 million stretch goal by earning £1,668,626 (or approximately $2.1 million USD). “Compared to most adult games available on Steam and elsewhere, this feels ambitious in terms of both presentation and gameplay,” Jennifer Unkle, a critic who specializes in this segment of the industry, told. While sexually explicit titles are immensely popular in the gaming industry, Subverse is one of the most sophisticated 18+ video games proposed to date. The game also features a Mass Effect-esque open-world galaxy map, sidequests, shoot-’em-up space combat segments, and incredibly detailed animated sexual content. They also star in the game’s top-down tactical strategy combat segments with their own special abilities. Subverse is a 'kinky new sci-fi RPG mashup” that lets players captain a spaceship 'crewed by the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.” Players can have sexual relationships with these “waifu” characters, which each have their own personalities and backstories. FOW Interactive’s Subverse closed its crowdfunding venture with nearly 60,000 backers pledging over $2 million worth in funding.

While the game's success opens the door to more sophisticated adult content within the games industry, it may prove an outlier.Īn upcoming adult indie game is turning heads for its enormously successful Kickstarter campaign.

Adult RPG Subverse earns over $2 million on Kickstarter despite company's questionable past StudioFOW's genre-blending adult video game Subverse asked for approximately $190,000 for its April Kickstarter.
