RPGM - A Struggle with Sin [v0.6.0.6a] [Chyos]

I was pretty fan of some 2D RPG game back in time (Yes, I'm old ...) So I tried some on this forum. Well, I must say that this game is now in my TOP3 :
1 - Peasant's Quest
2 - A Struggle with Sin
3- The Office Wife (even if it's more linear and an other kind of "kink")




- The story
- The animations and how 3D et 2D match so well
- The characters in 2D (the only "problem" is that some clothes changes don't match with the equipment)
- Many choices in the quests order and matching dialogs
- The choice between Love, Corruption and NTR routes (I like NTR but not in harem games if not Netori even if I confess I tried the NTR route for Tia and found it hot ...)




- The 3D faces (I see the game is pretty "old" and the newest 3D models are pretty expensive). But as I read somewhere on the forum, the game is so good that we sometimes forget that (And it's seems that the last characters additions are "better"
- Livia legs !!!! Even a female bodybuilder hasn't these ones (I mean, she is a "fantasy game middle ages soldier" but...
- Some grinding (but as many others RPG games)




- The games in my top 3 are all about Gods (even The Office Wife in a "modern world) and all about the same goddess of love, fecondity and/or sex (Ishtar, Innana or Qadesh)

It is like Peasant Quest with much worse sex scenes and a better battle system and world building. Also, the game feels very unfinished.
As far as I understand, there is no pregnancy content in this game, or you have to play this game for years to get at least one girl pregnant. It was much faster in Peasant Quest.
At the same time, all sex scenes are so short. They are almost like gif images, and the graphics is shit. In my opinion, Peasant quest compensates short scenes with pregnancy system. But there is nothing like this in the game.
The battle system is very cool, and it was one of a very few things I enjoyed. It is almost identical to Octopath traveler. You really need to think when you make moves.
Unfortunately, the game has so much grind that you will grow to hate fighting in this game.
NTR is so shit in this game. This is what put my ass on fire the most. Basically, Lucius ntr'ed me with Penny, and I couldn't anything.
I can literally rob fking head of the village, and I have my own personally army. But I can't do anything to a small mercenary?
The game just told me either I pay him 20 gold or he fucks Penny. I tried to talk to Penny, and I tried to rob him to get money. Not to mention, I don't understand how he can enforce this dept on me at all. But Lucius is just protected by the game.
It is ridiculous. I wasted hours to corrupt Penny, and he just does it in 2 minutes. It has no logic.
And from reviews of other ppl , I know the same shit goes for all girls.
I saw some people praise the developer for his constant updates. Dont you understand that you are just cash cows? He has no plans to finish this game. In this case, constant updates is not a good thing.
This game has been in development for so many years, and you still cant get any girl pregnant. I also downloaded a complete save, and to my big surprise I saw that not a single girl received a satisfying ending to her story.
I enjoyed some game mechanics in A Struggle with Sin. But the most important part (sex and pregnancy) still feels bad and unfinished.
I would give this game one star for my wasted time, but I try to be as unbiased as possible.

Time to complete a majority of nonNTR content was about 60 hours
Art: 3/5 models look dated, but there are still quite a few scenes that make good work of them.
Animation 2.5/5: It's pretty basic, but still helps makes the scenes better.
Sound effects 1.5/5: The couple dozen scenes I listened to were mediocre at best and I eventually decided to turn the sounds off after a while.
Gameplay 2.5/5: While the sneaking and mini games were fine, the combat and exploration were underwhelming.

Pros-
Large variety of scenes and girls. There's orcs, goblins, white chicks, black (halforc) girls, dwarves, and more. Being a chieftain of a village of dark skinned chicks was the highlight for me and I hope more games do similar things to this.
Being able to change angle, speed, and positions during scenes is great and should be the standard one day.

Cons
The game starts at a glacially slow pace to the point where it took over 5 hours to get the first non story related sex scene. This would be fine if things like combat were more interesting, but a lack of abilities and gear progression along with enemies scaling to your level makes it feel like you're never making progress.
If you want to complete the majority of routes for girls and get most/all their scenes then you pretty much have to follow the walkthrough.
While you can repeat most scenes by going and talking to the girl, not having a gallery makes you walk around all over to see them again and with so many scenes and routes it's hard to even know if you're missing scenes without one.

Overall a good game with a lot of potential, but with some glaring flaws that will hopefully be resolved as development continues.

This game is a rare find in the medieval fantasy adult genre. The story, art, and mechanics may not stand out on their own, but when combined, they create something truly special. It’s immersive, emotional, and delivers a unique experience.


My main issue is with how the NTR toggle works. While I appreciate the ability to turn NTR off, it unfortunately removes some compelling narrative choices—not just the scenes, but meaningful character decisions too. It would be great if those choices remained, with the scenes adjusted accordingly for non-NTR paths.


Some quests are also a bit unclear in their importance—whether they’re optional or main content. Given that the game’s still in development, this is forgivable, but a clearer structure would help.


Overall, the game has huge potential. If the dev sticks the landing with a strong, satisfying ending and refines some of the branching choices, it could become a top-tier title in its niche.

This game, is so damn good i love how the story progress but then i am still just farming a bit love the story this Author have made so far.

The Animations is top, can have some problems some times but can't really complain about it.

The actors, they have made, and how it feels a bit like immersive i love it.

5/5 Addicting as Special Wine
I've been playing this for a week straight and I'm not even halfway done, This is quite the RPG experience. On First impression, the RPG Maker nature and stuffness of animations, semi par character models and basic combat will make you feel meh, and then as any good RPG it builds on it.
And soon, it transforms into an almost medieval fantasy simulation experience, where the 'adult' parts are just aspects of the game, and you slowly begin to uncover its mysteries.
The writing is overall great, even though there's many misses still and it can feel awkward to jump from one LI to the next, and I hope the future versions tie those loose ends together, but overall the game is just absolutely immersive as heck and though I would like so much more depth in rpg mechanics, for a WIP game this is absolutely amazing effort.
Great job indeed.

Wow, this is such a great actual video game. i'm so immersed in the world and the character's stories. Every character has their own relatable background story, personal problems and twists! I have played for 70 hours now—min-maxing used in-game days—and there are still new interesting characters appearing and quests coming up.

- The character's stories are believable and every character has some new twist or idea. And there's sooo much to be discovered (by version 0.6 already).
- Some continuations of some quests are tough to find, but that makes discovering them feel super rewarding.
- Up until a certain moment, there's now grinding required or even possible (enemies respawn after some in-game time, but I expect everybody wants to minimize the amount of in-game days used; you may define <grinding> differently than I do).
- The background music is quite diverse and helps the immersion a lot. Note: It's not newly created music. I knew almost all music beforehand from other games or RPG pen&paper creators, but that doesn't matter.
- There is NO voice acting. But there are some human sounds/noises at least, also greatly aiding the immersion.
- The combat is almost great. Enemies should just be about 2x to 4x as strong (or our characters much weaker). But it is still enjoyable.
- Gold felt great in the early game. In the midgame, I had much more than I could ever spend. But that's true for basically every RPG on the market.
- My only big downside was - The game is very performant/fluent and I had only one bug in 70 hours.
- I discovered many small situations where extra dialogue was implemented for some minor edge scenario. These wouldn't have been necessary but they make me feel the developers' love/passion for the game's world building and player immersion.

Great and fun game. Another favorite of mine. Amazing characters, engaging story, different paths, lots of fetishes, combat, regular updates and fixes. Personally I would have liked more pregnancy, but that's just my personal opinion. I can only recommend this game.

love this , this is how a prime example of of how a lewd 'game' should be like , good gameplay and progression that you can involve yourself with and the scenes have the perfect amount of build up/grind to get to them .
Do not abandon this please.

I played this games for days it was great until the mirage to that old hank ....his adopted fathers wife the gold digger. Since than no new character ... only the queen. .... Repeat sex sense . noting big.... bit frustrating repeated of same cycle. in every update.

My opinion this:
As a sex game not so good. RPGM, grind even wih cheats, need walkthrough to not to be confused. Graphic... inteteresting but not good.

As just game: confusing at the start, but then... i start to have fun. Lot of content, many quest lines with unique story. Dev is definetly trying to create something here.

consistent update. best ntr and swinging. 5/5. the storyline great. developer always update, although the cgi is dated but still fappable. gameplay average around 15-20 hour or more depend whether you want to cheat or not

What's there more to say about this game? It is extremely well done with timely updates. The most consistent game on this site by far. It's one of those rare instances where the developer actually deserves the financial support from their fans.

This is essentially Baldur's Gate 1, but with Blackjack and hookers.
It's a brilliant game with a serious Dev, bugs are promptly handled and by the looks of how the game has evolved so far it'll only keep getting better.
I personally play with NTR off, so I can't much speak to that side of the game though.

If I were to dream up some criticism while not pointing out the systems and storylines that are still being developed further, it would be the sound design of the game being below average for commercial games which isn't really a fair comparison considering the dev having stated multiple times that this will be free-to-play even after full release.

Lastly a shoutout to some absolute S-Tier ladies Julia, Sabrina and Melissa! Honorable mentions would be Frisha, Mira, Raaisha, Ayita and Hiba.
And maybe someday Heather too, but for now, I'm a little vexed that she is stuck in the Monastery. Honestly who wants to waste a full day of travel for a just a decent girl.

Super fun and great game, have been closely following it since i discovered it and can't stop praising it since, characters are unique and hot, fights are fast and fun, and i love all the freedom and control this game gives you

I've played this game for a bit and i have to say that i absolutely love it.

The battles, crafting, different talents, etc. makes it really feel like im playing an RPG with some NSWF content sprinkled on top to spice the game up even more.

The renders are kinda terrible, but thats ok, the game is still good and enjoyable.

The biggest gripe I have with this game is the NTR and the way it is implemented into some of the girls paths.
It's pretty obvious that NTR is mostly there for fan service.
(NTR is optional btw)


Mira and Tia for instance, Their NTR routes makes no sense.
According to their personalities and how the MC had to work like a dog to get them to spread their legs, it seems uttterly out of character for them to so easily give in to the advantages of other men, strangers at that.

Especially Mira, she even joined the church because she was uncertain about the relationship with MC and then she just ups and gives in so easily towards a stranger.

Anyway, im rambling, i just find it a pity to waste time on creating NTR content just to throw the NTR lovers a bone, when said time could be used on progressing the real story instead.

I discovered this game by chance and after that i fallow the updates fanatically. Firstly game top tier sandbox game and almost all of the characters are hot ,mc could have been better facially but i got use to it. Women in this game realistic and not some sex toy physic. You can choose which route(woman) to fallow first see the hot scenes. I usually play as normal game fallow the linear path because i like most of the characters and their stories. Also designer fallows his/her game and fixing the issues and updating constantly, i have a lot of respect for you, you are doing good job and also please add more screen time for nyra i want to see how she leave her hatred and fallow mc romatically.

Don't play this game, your expectation for a Pr0n game will skyrocket, hell, I don't even know if I could play any other game on this site after this one.
Good story, good character but more importantly, GAMEPLAY, I feel like I'm playing the game, not just clicking random bullshit go or waiting somme crap to happen.

Summary: Just an insane amount of amazing high quality content.

I am speechless and trying to figure out how a single person developer can make a game with this much content when major studios with a hundred people, churn out crap that costs millions.

There is quest after quest, with actual game play that requires thought (enough that it rewards you for figuring things out but not too hard that you want to stop ever!)
The women and npcs are all detailed enough with scripted behaviour they make the world feel like its alive.

A triumph of rpg game play and erotica. One of the best games on this site and i think the best rpgm game by far.
Fuck i have bought games off steam that have a quarter the content of Struggle.

Thank you for an amazing game!

This game requires a lot of commitment, I mean ... I'm like 12 hours into the game (real time, not game time) and I think I've completed around 5% percent of its content at most, that is an issue in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, the story is more than fine I'd say, but the problem is the game mechanics, specially these three fking bars "Energy", "Satiety" and "Lust" you waste a lot of time trying to be in a good state and they deplete too fast, that's annoying, and on top of that when you battle mobs there is another bar called "TP" and also some good skills require Energy points as well, WTF!? This means after 2 freaking battles I have to go to sleep again, that was just ridiculous.
Visuals are clearly outdated, music is fine, characters were interesting, quest menu and UI in general are a bit of a mess.
So, I'm quitting the game coz I highly doubt that putting all that effort, all that time is actually going to paid off.
