RPGM - A.I.D.A [v0.532] [Zem]

Review of v0.532
Took about 20 hours to play through and see everything
Art: 4.5/5
Animation: 4/5
Sfx: 2.5/5
Gameplay: 3/5
Story: 3/5
While I think the porn is solid at this stage outside of needing some battle sex variety, the gameplay could use some work. The weapons and items don't differ enough and the amount of battles in each area starts to get a bit tedious as a result. I think fewer battles, more scene variety, or more pronounced combat play styles would help to really round this game out.

"Please assume the position."

A.I.D.A. is a retro-futuristic, post-apocalyptic role-playing game set in the former United States of America. Huh, that sounds like a game franchise I know of. Anyways, you play as a robot on a mission to rescue their creator from the Brotherhood of Steel (and GlaDOS?). The gameplay is pretty much what you'd expect for an RPGM game, turn-based combat that is unfortunately very simple.

Highlights
Pointless Sex Action
Most of the sexual combat is found during combat. If an enemy is capable of one, an enemy will sometimes use a sexual attack that initiates a cutscene. With the futa attachment, you can sometimes use your own sexual attacks against female enemies. It's not exactly anything groundbreaking, but it's worked well for other games.

But the issue is that sexual attacks are basically useless in this game. They don't deal more damage than a regular attack or apply any special effects or anything, really. In fact, it's a worse option for the enemy because they deal less damage or none at all. This isn't something you can exploit either, because enemies do random, unpredictable attacks anyways. And as you might've guessed, your own sexual attacks are also a turn-waster.

The Combat
Like most of these games in RPGM, you can't specialize in any weapon types because there's no way to build your character. All weapon options boil down to 'deals more damage, deals less damage'. You can't spend skill points or anything to be better with energy weapons over bullet guns. Most of combat is spamming both healing and the highest damage attack over and over again. This is not well-designed combat.

There's almost no point in fighting most enemies since they rarely drop anything useful. But at the same time, escape rates are abysmal so you're probably going to have go through a whole fight if one of them engages in combat with you. Either they should be easier to avoid or quicker to deal with.

Lastly, the difficulty can either be near-impossible or piss-easy based on whether you get the companion or not. If you try and go alone, or can't find them, you're in for a bad time. Two high-damage attacks (which enemies use completely randomly) on the same turn will kill you instantly before you can even act. On the other hand, getting that companion makes the game go back to being piss-easy. That's action economy for you.

Lack of Alternatives
Now maybe it's not fair to compare this game to any entry in the fallout series, but the fallout games were known for choices. If a group of mercenaries were attacking a town, you could attack them, try paying them off, or sometimes even join them (unless it's Bethesda game, because they write like Disney). But in this game, almost all quests are linear or at least always end up with effectively the same outcome. In the last version of the game I played, there were no alternate solutions to resolve conflict, it was always "fight this group of enemies" to progress the quest.

The game is also painfully linear in terms of progression as well. There's zero alternative ways to reach a major location, it's always City 1 > City 2 > City 3. It's fine on its own, but it makes replayablity almost zero. If there was a skip cutscene button or even a basic 'CTRL to skip text', this wouldn't even be an issue. But instead, every single update, you have to go through the grind again.

Summary
Look, I don't hate this game, infact it does hit alot of the right kinks for me. You don't see a faceless/robotic woman in porn often, much less a porn game. But there's no story decision/roleplay (ignore what I wrote in the intro, okay?), so it's not an RPG, it's a turn-based character builder. But you can't build your character actually, so it's a turn-based fighter. And there's nothing wrong with a turn-based fighter on it's own, but this game doesn't give you any tactical option to assess, so it's just.. not good.

I'll give a 2/5 stars because ultimately, gameplay doesn't hurt the fappability too much, but it's still not very fun.

Great game for robot girl lovers, the cold and emotionless robot writing is perfect and something I wish more games had. A faceless/helmet fetishist's dream.

Fantastic art and animations especially for anyone who likes fat tits, I like a bit more variety when it comes to body types but I can't deny the quality. Easily-skipped in-combat H-scenes is a smart way of handling the rewarded for H-scene/punished with H-scene debate that a lot of games struggle with.

Decent humor and plot to tie things together. Looking forward to more updates.

Wow this game is incredible, it's funny, it plays really well for a RPGM game, boobs, incredible knockers and glorious butts everywhere! There's even futas! The animations and arts are really well done, and the screenshots you see on the game page don't do this game much justice, it's so much better, everything in this game is such an eye candy. At times this game even feels like a horror game, which is always nice to see in a porn game. There's no end to nice things I can say about this one, so I'll just list a couple of nitpicks.
Now, the gameplay-wise it starts challenging but it gets easier and easier as you progress and the money you earn doesn't have much use, you'll end up with tens of thousands of caps and hundreds of consumables. It's not like you'd WANT a challenge in a porn game, but you'll have the biggest difficulty in the beginning only.
The other thing, just so you won't get confused, there's just TWO robot skins in this game - the default, and the Haydee one. I was kinda hoping for more, but at this point in development (0.501) that's all you get. And yeah, you can't see nipples on H-Dee skin which is a bummer cuz it's better looking than the default.
The last thing to note, this game lags due to lighting (which you can turn off in the menu), but if you wanna keep lighting for the atmospheric look (which is superior in my opinion) and it keeps lagging try opening and closing the menu (X or right mouse button), it seems to help.

Review for v0.501:

Great game with lots of content so far. Put 15+ hours into the game if you enjoy rpg games with good comedy and very big tits. Especially love how the games shows which monster and which an character have lewd scenes in battle and wish other games took inspiration.

Fast paced action, good animation, funny and likable characters, and, of course, BIG TITTED, SEXY ROBOTS! all wrapped up in a wonderfully radioactive Fallout package, what's not to love?

Only real complaints I have are the current lack of build diversity and having nothing to spend all my caps on, but that's something that will most likely be added in future updates.

This game really impresses me every time I try it. It has a lot of content, good art, humorous writing. And it has a good feel to it. I think it would do very well on Steam.
Not enough body parts and equipment to craft 0/10.

Review for v0.421

Honestly just a fun and surprisingly well-rounded rounded RPG. You ever play fallout, see an assaultron, feel a little funny, and then download a mod that gives them a huge ass and tits? Just me?

A.I.D.A. takes that inspiration and uses it well. Really it feels like the modded fallout sex game of my dreams in RPGM form, or a version of that anyway. It's true to the game it's parodying in that it gives you a nice amount of freedom and rewards exploration. There's also a lot of fun little details if you look for them, much like Fallout. There's that "main quest" that sort of propels you forward, but a large amount of time spent is doing everything but your main objective. To an extent anyway, obviously this isn't as big as a AAA open world game.

There's already a nice slew of sex scenes spread over the map that only grow with each update. I do think the art has its charm, but I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of some of the extremely exaggerated proportions. Something I can look past though. All the scenes are animated as well. Simpler animations, but still really nice to have.

Though it is a parody porn game, it still is very much an actual game as well. Combat is well balanced and doesn't feel like a huge slog, there's a decent variety of equipment to mess around with, there's boss fights, places to explore, side quests to complete, etc etc. I actually really like playing as Aida as well, her robot personality is fun. Liking the deathclaw companion too.

One thing I thought was cool is that being a robot and all, the equipment system is built largely around parts that modify your body. For example you can get a head module that gives you a laser eyes skill. They even modify the art a bit to match your new appearance which is a great detail. One of my complaints would actually be that the game doesn't do a ton with this system yet, which is a shame since it's a fun feature.

Honestly there's nothing I truly dislike about the game. Minor complaints would be that the economy is not very balanced in that I ended up with a shit ton of money without anything to really spend it on. With how often you find consumables and crafting junk, and almost every weapon being findable, there's no reason to really buy anything. By extension I think I only crafted like 4 things? One of those being a weapon that I found a copy of immediately after. I'll also say I don't really care about the main quest of finding our creator but again it's more to drive you forward than anything.

The game is just enjoyable for me at the end of the day. I like fun RPGM games and this is a fun RPGM game. It's well made and seems to only be improving with updates. Probably a 5 stars when the game is more filled out and closer to completion.

[Version 0.421]

Okay so I have to admit that I spent pretty much most of the 24th December 2023 playing this, having only heretofore played this once and quit in frustration I decided to actually, you know...play the game.

To clarify that I mean that when I first played, I kept getting beat and I thought the collection of materials would result in a lot of walking about and so gave up. I am glad that actually I came back to this.

Graphically it's quite good, it's animated and done rather well in that regard, I found a mix of battle based animations as well as ones that could be found out and about. I wouldn't mind however a little more in terms of quantity and perhaps replayability. For example as of this version there is a trapped girl in the vault and once I was done that was it, I couldn't replay that, it would be nice if you could or perhaps even with another girl.

Storywise, it's the classic finding a lost person whilst roaming on an adventure, only you happen to be a robot later joined by a big scaly monstergirl called Roxanne that is modelled on Fallout's Deathclaws.

It has a modicum of kinks, such as futa without overwhelming the game and losing direction which is also nice as well.

I suppose in terms of negatives other than the repeatability factor and quantity above, I would only say that I would love the updates to be even more frequent since I do like this game and want to play it more.

That's gotta be one of the best porn games I've ever played. Fap content? Check. Nice music and fx? Check. Secrets and references? Check. Fine balance between "the game" and "the porn game"? Check. It's interesting not only to look at big boobs and voluptuous butts, but to play it too. The only problem - this game tries to fry my potato laptop. Can't wait for more updates.

Review as of version [v0.389]:

A.I.DA. is a solid adult parody inspired by one of my favorite franchises. It's one of the few adult games were I've actively enjoyed the combat system, not that many I've played have had or used that feature to it's advantage.

The dev utilizes the combat system to deliver h scenes, unavoidable at first but optionally after the first time and even initiated by the player at times. This isn't the only way to see h scenes, many are sprinkled throughout the game world during interactions or events.

The art itself is good, although two things stood out to me. The faces of human characters, although that one did grow on me after a while. The second being a few scenes are zoomed in to a point you can't really focus on the whole thing at once.

The story and writing are solid, my favorite quest probably has to be the one with the cathedral mutant. My favorite scene probably has to be Roxanne killing a man with her giant mutant dumptruck.

A few things I especially liked, the art for A.I.D.A. firing her guns are great! My favorites are the uzi and bazooka and hope to see full figure shots for all the guns. Roxanne is a neat companion and look forward to interactions with her and maybe even a couple more companions in the future. The perk mags and art pics are neat little things to look out for.

My main issue is that while it is a solid game mechanically, and there are a lot of h scenes there isn't enough variety in combat where you'll be spending most of your time, and outside of combat it stops short with the many characters you can interact with.

Overall, a solid Fallout inspired adult parody game, still in development but has enough content to warrant a session or two of playing.

Things I hope to see in future updates:

• The Annihilator unit leaves its rather large chest intact, I hoped it would of led to a new upgrade, but the scene involving it was funny nonetheless.
• More scenes with the starter monsters and early chars, non-futa female ghouls, a scene utilizing the octopuss's larger asset, getting to know Daisy better.
• Fem and futa variants of the smg, melee, psycho raiders and Oot grunts.
• Super Mutants (maybe even some lady/futa ones, could appear in Ruinheim)!
• B.E.N.I.S. upgrades (double and as large as a certain mutant).
• The giga rockclaw trader and "pretty" rockclaw could use a scene or two.

Good art, animations, and story line which I cannot wait what happens at the end of the story. Hopefully zem makes more of these games and maybe sequels or spinoffs to the beloved aida and paccsu series.

English is not my native language, so there will be mistakes in words. (Game version 0.389)(Played Paccsu from the same author)

Learned about the game when there was a version 0.201(do not remember exactly), then opened half of the scenes, did some side quests, and passed the main plot at that time, then waited for a new version and somehow forgot about it because of business. Not long ago I remembered about it and rejoiced at the new content, ran for 10 hours from scratch (maybe a little less, as sometimes vzelkavlyaal and the time in the game went on). And so here are my observations:

Pros:
Scenes and animations - they are good, even very good, someone will say that there are only forward and backward movements, so what? It's good that there are minimal movements or if there were full-blown animations here, there would hardly be much content on it. Someone wrote that there are not enough moans, but it seems to me that they could be added to Personality v2, since Aida is a robot, it is strange to expect her to moan (although who knows what the creator of Aida added to it).

Battles - not too difficult, passed the game almost without losing, only a couple of times died due to inattention and almost did not use consumables, but just waited until AP will recover and healed at the expense of them, and so if you have played other games on RPGM you will not be difficult to pass the game(I forgot to say that I passed the game without a partner, because I did not know where he was, and even so you can safely pass the game without losing). TIP FOR NEWCOMERS: In the beginning the best weapon will be Advanced Plasma Pistol (buy the blueprint from Daisy and scraft), and for the rest of the game the best will be Marksman RR-AP (blueprint get for one of the quests, but which one - I forget).

The character designs are gorgeous, I don't know what else to say here, except to mention that I liked H-Dee's skin better.
THIS PART IS SUBJECTIVE, SOME MAY DISAGREE. The plot and dialogs are pretty predictable, but I'm not berating it, as a simple plot is sometimes even better than a complex one. The dialogs are funny and not too long.

Characters - I liked all of them, but I remember Valentinna, Jenni and Roxanne. Jenni because of the sex scene, and appearance, Valentinna because of the tsundere-like character, and appearance.

On the downside, I'll state the obvious - it's not finished. I explain, when the game is not finished, we hope that it will be released as much content as possible, but if the game is finished, you have to put up with it and enjoy the content that is available.
But since the game is not finished, I hope that as much content as possible will be released for it).

My Rating 12/10
I have already written it down in advance for MYSELF as one of the best games, but you may not agree with it, it's your choice. Thanks for reading my long review)

(review of version 0.311)

Robotic girl (yay), that you can change so it looks more like Haydee (yay), where the battles include animated sex scenes that you can control progress of or skip entirely (big yay). It also includes a futanari option (yay) that you can change on demand and has effect on the game play (yay). She also has huge boobs and ass (yay).

The story is decent enough, the quests also include erotic stuff or outright sex (yay) and the RPGM environments are both nice looking (though they are keeping with the post-apocalyptic theme) and super detailed (yay).

So why the low rating? While the scenes are animated, the animation is pretty low quality (think newgrounds flash animations). While big boobs and ass are included in the sex scenes, there's often hardly anything else on the screen. While she can have a futanari cock, there's basically one scene in which she actually uses it, there are many in which it gets simply "removed" by the attacker and that's it, in most it just flops around. In general the amount of the erotic content is on the low side, and much of it are nothing more than pinups.

So, for me it fails at the main thing a porn game is supposed to do: be erotic.

A good parody packed with busty women with nice looking art of their own and decent combat.
That is the summary of my opinion, the reason for the 5 stars is, as I said, it is nice to see a good parody of a saga that I love as it is Fallout.

Came in for the futa protagonist tag and gotta note if you want to see a futa protag actually USING it instead of just watching her useless dick flop around, very much not the game for you. I do like watching her useless dick flop around but it's still not great, a couple scenes where it's just straight up ignored if you're in futa mode and another with a fairly halfassed excuse to not include it.

I honestly liked the game both in the character design and the personality and story. there were one or two fights that were difficult (and in some cases I lost and if it weren't for the fact that I save the game from time to time before a confrontation that I consider important, I would surely not be able to complete it).
The only complaint I would have with the game would be that on my phone if many enemies appear the screen starts to freeze to the point that I had to restart my phone...for a second I thought it had gone but luckily it was saved and the other is that I think that A.I.D.A. It should have more lewd scenes but with his bulge device (no offense I like the sex scenes in general in the game but I wish A.I.D.A had the option to use his penis in some scenes like he did with gloria in their confrontation)

I ultimately like this game, although some things could be better in my opinion. Game is hot, give it a go, but here are some observations:
Combat is not very balanced. Sometimes you'll fight a single enemy which is easy to beat but then you bump into three of them at the same time, having to waste a bunch of resources just to remain alive. If you're unlucky, multiple enemies will use a high damage attack at the same time and you'll die from 60% hp.
There aren't many items to wear. Maybe because some things you wear appear in cutscenes, so the dev wants to add variants of every cutscene based on the new equipment, but that makes it hard to build your character in different ways throughout the game.
Sex scenes are good, but really need some moaning sounds. I don't know why exactly, but having "clap clap clap" sounds and no moans makes it feel like the characters are dolls fucking, lifeless. It would be amazing if AIDA would moan with some sort of sexy robotic voice during the scenes, also add to the very unique feel of a robot mc.
More scene variety for each enemy would be nice too.
Fun to play and hot in an unique way. I like this and I hope this project keeps going.

English is not my native language, so there will be mistakes in words.

The good sides of the game:
Very pleasant gameplay.
The action is done perfectly.
You do not need to collect a ton of resources.
Nice drawing.
Well-made characters.
A well-made storyline and additional quests.

I have played a lot of games made on RPGM, but only this one made me write a review, I will look forward to updates and more content. Thanks for fallout 3 "door" easter egg 10/10

narrow light around the main character is so small and the darkness so brutally intense that I can't see anything well even in areas I've supposedly turned the power back on in, and it's actively making me sick to try to explore the worldmap anymore. if anyone can tell me how to delete that overlay of shadow, I might be able to play this more.
