RPGM - A Struggle with Sin [v0.5.9.1] [Chyos]

One of my all time favorites. Been playing this since release 0.4.?. Don't know the exact number anymore but it has been years since now.
The game is fun and rather addictive. New features came over time and it is great so see how the overall world and gameplay improve more and more. You can see that the developer put some real thoughts into this and fleshes out already implemented concepts.
The characters are all realy likable. The MC goes from a total jerk to a responsible, capable and maybe manipulating young male - depends on how you play it.
This is another plus for me: The game is not linear at all, you can make your choices, corrupt the girls around you or do the love route with them - or both if you wish. NTR is relativley easy to avoid or (if you are into it) everywhere to find.

Love this game and i am exited how it goes on!

One of the best RPG Maker Games out there.
Nice Story about the (up today) lazy son of a hunter and the Change of his Life.

Many Women of all kind

Lots of Content no matter wether corrupted or not...

PLAY! THIS! GAME!

Walkthrough Boogaloo

It's an RPGM, sandbox type game with alot of content.

I recommend if you like Stardew valley and want a lewd game with alot of minigames, a time cycle, and running around that you do in a sandbox. I recommend avoiding if you hate sandboxes.

The structure essentially has storylines and quests, with the quests mainly mapped to certain characters and progressing their route and unlocking sex scenes with them.

There's a battle system, minigames involving farming, forging armor later on, etc. A quintessential sandbox.

PRO: The game allows players to make meaningful and impactful story decisions and the outcomes range from pregnancies, to getting NTR'd or not, quests failing or succeeding, etc.

PRO: There are also multiple questlines and side stories and alot of these are character based and also interlink with each other and can impact each other.

CON: However, there are some problems. The way to progress the quest and knowing which ones impact another can be quite difficult. There's almost way too many female characters and quests, with alot of storylines not yet fully complete. The game could take another 3 years of development and it's a big risk because each update could break the game saves you have.

CON: In fact, the only way to play this game and not get frustrated and get what you want as the outcome is using the walkthrough from the developer. Otherwise, you could get stuck, lose progress or worse, accidentally fail or get the ending you didn't want for each of these quests.

PRO/CON: Lots of sex scene content. There are alot of female characters, and they have mothers. So if you make the right choices, you're likely able to fuck the whole family basically. However, the renders are really rough looking and look dated and so are the sex scene animations.

fayummmmmmmmmmmmm this game is yummy af, i fap it 400 times daily and come back and fap 700 more times, well to be exact the game is very grindy and rewarding, more like roundscape androvida but with realistic graphics. strategic.

It's the best game on the site, in my opinion. Why? There is so much content, and the sandbox mode really gives the feeling of freedom, like being in another world where you can choose what to do and which girl to go after.

Well if you like ntr this is one of the best games out there its rich with content and good characters there is always something new the dev is always adding new things it doesnt have the most rpgmaker game problems

great game many scenes alot of posibilitis and livly chars rent routes a good story the developer is regulary uddating and informing and making poll ervery month in good pace this is my personal opinion it is my number one favorite h game in this stile and i hope it goes for a long time it has alot potecial to grow in ervery way

This is my first time writing a review on this beloved forum, and I’d like to share my thoughts on this game.

First off, for RPGM I find it quite solid in terms of story, characters, and mechanics. The storyline is engaging, and I think the events that unfold in the village with its various characters should be resolved before moving on to the story involving the next village (please cmiiw, as I haven't played the latest version or finished the game yet). Overall, I’d rate the story at 4 stars.

Now, about the characters: the models and animations? Yeah, they could use some polishing. I’m not entirely sure how to describe it, but something feels a little off, like they could use a bit more detail or smoothness. But hey, I’m still enjoying it, so no complaints there—4 stars.

Next up, the mechanics. There are definitely some things that could be tweaked. For example, when you’re rocking the bandit disguise to sneak into the mayor’s house, it’d be awesome if it didn’t automatically come off when you’re leaving through the basement. I mean, I was kinda curious about what would happen if I just strolled around the village in that disguise, you know? But still, mechanics get a solid 4 stars.

Lastly, props to the dev! I’m not giving it a full 5 stars yet, but that’s only because I see so much potential for improvement. I’m really hyped to see where the game goes next. You’ve done a great job so far, so keep up the good work—Godspeed!

Yo, ok so i played this game for a year now. It is really good, despite few (beginning of the game animations n all ) , but still good.
Story- Well i don't wanna spoil much, but you're a guy, who lives in a village with beautiful looking women around you, and its all medieval times. You can build a massive harem or select few, or even let them be taken by other men.
Game-play- Its not bad, but not good either. Its you're RPG engine basics. Wish there was Battle-sex moves for enemies and player+npcs.
Like a bandit grabs one of your party members and you get a stplitscreen animation loop, were it progresses bases on how long it take for you to respond to save them. Goes well with corruption system.
Also MC seems to be classless, wich is a bit boring IMO, but you can do everything ( cast spells, use bows, or go for close combat attacks )
This game needs more outfits for female characters. When KATE gets her new waitress uniform, that is a banger ( hands down ) This could also open quest-branches were villages most talanted tailors combine their forces to make new daily clothes for everyone, and ofc you could CORRUPT THEIR DESIGN-MAKING PROCESS ( This could be animation/PIC heavy upgrade tho )
Love or NTR - my personal approach is simple. I choose to make massive harem, once all females are mine, and pimp them out to others if game allows me to. So for example ( Tia has sex in Rumah,Kate has sex with Thomas,Tavern friends and your best buddy ) Tho i wish there was more group animations for NTR path. Like more extreme gang bangs or something of those sorts. This would make for interesting game-play choice, since if you lose quest or task, you're female character gets taken by others.
Like on same note: Orc village would be massive arc in its self here. Like when you send one of your wanitas to orc's. For each day she spends their, her sex partners increase in participation. So on last day at the camp, there is a massive orgy / gang bang. That would make sense in here dialogue, when she returns to Rumah and say - Ive been ficked by Orc all day n etc, but then again whe you go there, all you see is just one orc doing the pounding (Also, animation heavy upgrade )
AUDIO/ART/ANIMS- Just gonna say it simple, they are good. For modern-day sandarts, meby not so much, but still good. Tho some older animations need rework ( You can see a difrence in style and effects were Developer has changed some old ones to new ones )
Its still is good. Not much to say here, but some girls could use more flesh and vice versa. Fuck it, make it some kinds witchcraft quest or special potion, like the one were that princess gets in Daves mansions ( Her body grows larger, and i mean her butt and boobs get bigger )
This could be nice addition to MC arsenal, but yeah with so many girls you can interact, that would be shitloads of animation variations for difrent body types. But hey im just giving feedback

Overall - Needs more crazy stuff too, not just LOVE-path with happy endings we all know about. That gangbang thing i mentioned, could be more engaging at your merc camp for example. Were the red-head woman trains all your mercinaries PROPERLY
The game feels alive, you can see seasons and time.
Now what about kinks and all that juicy stuff ? Well i might say that it has everything normal, you would expect, and things you would only dream about. But since its medieval times + some fatnasy elements, it makes sense. Just needs more SPICY FLARES once in a while.
I do not wanna spoil much, i do recomend this game. And with that i give it solid 4 STARS ( -1 = ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENTS )
Im 100% sure when its all done, and will have those flares, polished lose ends, IT WILL BE A PERFECT 5 STAR GAME IN THIS GENRE !
HAPPY DAYS o/

Among the best RPG's around here. Hunting system is something new and pretty cool. The focus of the game is not in combat or grinding to get strong, but the story and getting laid.
It scary me a bit the game change the seasons with the real life change of seasson. A cool and scary system.
The characters don't have the best model quality, but the animations are very fluid and optmized. I don't understand why the story have the options for go NTR, because at some point one route, with NTR or without it, will become the main plot, the real story, the true route, and the other will see more like a fanfic inside the game. Until now, the story is good.
The tribe management is something cool, and the mini games are ok.
A five star, nothing more, nothing less.

I'm to stingy to support the dev on patreon, so the least I can do is to give an exellent review to this very fine game. I'm almost 40 hours in of non-stop content with almost no grind and I'm still far from having finished it.

Really Good Game.
Nice Graphics and Animations
Good Story for all the Characters
Nice Diversity of Characters
Not too much Grinding
Updates dont take too long and are quite big
Ingame Walkthrough is easy to understand if you get stuck

What an awesome game.

The only real problem is that there are a ton of different options... I mean a TON. So seeing them all is a time investment.

There are a tons of options and small route changes that aren't mentioned in the official walk through. The order of how you do things can lead to lots of different scenes and options.

You can do love routes, corruption routes, something in between... you can be evil or good. A bunch of interesting choices. These things often change future dialogs. So it isn't just cosmetic.

In some ways this is a real sandbox in the sense that you can do things in whatever order you want, and that order often matters. It is a lot of fun to try out different routes and combinations.

Very impressive.

Like all good games it takes time to play.

At first I thought the art was a bit crude, but it grows on you really quickly and there are a LOT of really good sex scenes.

A true sex RPG that isn't just ridiculous or silly. It is well made and well written. Amazing that something like this exists.

Went into this game with high expectations due to its rating, played for about 40hrs and here's what I can say about it:
Pros:
Content- The game has a lot of content, for each girl. Not only that but dev managed to make the world feel alive by having npcs go about their daily life in the background.
Story- The overall story isn't anything captivating but it's interesting enough to hold your attention, which is the bare minimum of an adult game. Each girl has a sub-plot that you engage in which makes the corruption more fun.
Cons:
Combat/Enemy scaling- The combat isn't anything special it's your cookie cutter rpgm style of combat just shot from a different perspective. The enemies level up as you do too, which means if you run into the same enemy again without better gear you're gonna struggle more.
Progession/Grinding- It's incredibly hard to progess in the game without a walkthrough, I don't recommend trying to play this blind if you want to get straight to content/unlock skills and equipment slots. Leveling up in the game feels like a chore, and the amount of talent points received doesn't help that feeling, you're better off just using the cheat book for that.
Models/Animation- The models are the worst aspect of this game, they have a grainy cut and paste look to them with some girls just having awful proportions, the only nice thing I can say is that they at least vary in appearance. The animations are brought down by the nature of the models, making them look really stiff, another thing is that everytime MC cums an awful effect plays I don't know why the dev added that. As I played I realised that I wasn't even aroused by any girl/scene and the only thing that kept me going was the corruption aspect of it all.
For me personally the game is just okay, it's nothing too extravagant, certain aspects could be improved but that's about it.

"A Struggle with Sin" is a masterful blend of captivating storytelling and extraordinary animations, setting a high benchmark in the world of adult games. From the moment players embark on this journey, it's clear that the developers have poured their heart and soul into creating an unforgettable experience.

Impressive game, it's difficult to give it less than 5 stars.
When it first loaded in RPGM style, I thought "oh no", but that feeling quickly evaporated in the heat of the game's quality.
There are small imperfections, such as the grindyness and the lack of options at some points in the game, but overall the rating is fully deserved, congrats to the dev !

First of all I will be clear that this game deserves 4.5 stars, it's a fun game with interesting situations and no aspect of the game is lacking, the combat is fairly good, progression of the character is nice and overall it just lacks more content.

-Gameplay: The only thing that I feel lacking is that we can progress more on our different talents, being able to earn just 2 free points of each is kinda lacking, I would recommend at least 6 at the following repetitions:

20-50-100-175-300-500

It will make the grind more worth it that's for sure.

Related to the combat it's perfect as it is, perhaps I would increase the power of magic or add the possibility for the MC to use a staff that increases magic attack or something.

-Relationships and characters: It's overall great, I personally like a lot how they develop all the relationships in the starting town, however... Related to the half-orc village I feel it needs some changes but will try to put it in a spoiler, do not read if you didn't play it


Overall the relationships need more content since from the harem perspective we still have too few marriages and pregnancy, we all wanna breed like rabbits haha, on the other hand the NTR aspect feels more like entering an open relationship, some are ok like that but others should feel more significant and feeling that you need to do something if you don't wanna lose the girl (in this aspect I'm a fan of semi-permanent situations since it always leaves open a way for the player to solve said situation and unless you truly mess up it shouldn't become permanent but more of waiting for a chance to solve it).

-Equipment and auto-level: This is a part that I find the game a bit meh, first of all it is more than possible for new players to not even know how to get a new armor or overall equipment and this can be fatal since with the auto-level of enemies you may find yourself in a really serious situation in which you receive too much damage since you focused on other characters and never learnt to craft your own armor and stuff.

To solve this situation at level 10 I would automatically add a quest for exactly that, starting with the MC saying that his armor is underperforming and deciding to improve his equipment, leading said player to learn to sew and guiding him to craft some basic equipment.



Overall the game is a solid 4.5/5, if you want to play a game that has H content then it may be perfect for you, NTR only happens if you mess up which can be more about the player actively seeking it or being defeated, so basically a normal player that doesn't seek NTR should only worry about being defeated, which means to not rush the game and take your time.

Also the game has a lot of love put into it by the developer, which makes it kinda great for rolplaying, choices do matter and can have significant effects.

That's about it, hope this review was helpful

Really nice job, dev! Keep the good work, you're in the way of making a great game with a lot of choices, content, characters and many possibilites from your choices.
I'll keep watching your game being lapidated and will wait for more updates and watch your marvelous work.

Liked the complexities and multiple outcome of each path, which is the reason for my 5 stars rating (eg: different path or miss 1 step it'll change the dialogue for the rest of ur gameplay) and that's the sole reason i keep repeat the game just out of curiosity each outcome possibilities

This is perhaps the only RPGM that I played and enjoyed. There're certain things I'm not a fan of, like bizarre body porprtion, MC
dressed and looks like a homeless person in a modern time, and of course as RPGM it's UI is not exactly convenient, but they are minor compare to what the the game has to offer, interesting story, believable characters, and a good dose of ntr.

Here's some suggestions from a ntr fan, to the dev or perhaps some modder:
Since there's already quite a lot of ntr scenes happened in the current progress, I wish there will be more interactions between the characters indicating the status of sexual dynamics and the deeds they done. More teasing or even humiliation would be perfect.

For example, when Kate and Rick meet in front the tavern, MC could ask Kate to greet Rick properly; during the serving, MC can notice Kate doing lewd things with the customers and perhaps make a comment, or have a little conversation with himself, or better, have Rick make fun of him; after MC made some questionable decisions(had Kate bred while himself is barren, sent Tia to orcs, watch Thosmas fucking his girls without joining in, etc), allows him to gain cuck point to open up new dialogue obtions, asking the girls to be even more open and flirty infront of him.
