Others - Completed - Adult Fairy Tale-Collector Viscount- [v1.0] [Pasture Soft]

Fairly straightforward resource management/upgrades game with an unforgiving battles mechanic (see the guide in Som-One's review).
Equally shallow mechanics for abusing your authority, which is what initially interested me about the game; there's very little there as compared to other games with similar premises.
Decent H art, but not very much of it. Sex scenes are uniformly terrible animations. The writing is also fine, bordering on mediocre, but no translation issues. Afaik the plot is basically linear but I don't think I'll be replaying it much to confirm that.

Story: As the description states you are a viscount ruling over land, you can choose to rape, kill, or steal from your own people, or you can choose to be kind and generous. That said if you want to make everyone happy you actually have to rape a couple of the people to progress their stories.

Cgs: Abysmal, dogshit, barely worth mentioning. Just poorly edited 2d images mashed together though the few cgs that aren't "animated" do look good. But they are few in number.

Gameplay: Not very good, it's centered around you managing three resources, money, labor, and knowledge. There's no more depth than that however, everything just goes back to making more of each and you don't upgrade much, you can make towers to defend against enemies but they aren't that interesting, plus the combat is a slog that even a troglodyte could do.

Romancing: Basically comes down to you interacting with characters each day and giving them gifts if applicable, it's a very shallow system and things like talking never change they always say the same one or two quotes.

Somewhat normal game design where you turn the time forward by doing an action, It is somewhat hard to notice which day youre on though unless you go into an informations tab.

Easy gameplay overall with not too rewarding scenes. The artstyle is mostly fine but the animations of the non main characters are just still images with the characters pixels moving rather than actually making multiple images and having them move way.

Takes about 2 hours to get most if not all scenes, pretty much just get all your knowledge into the towers and conscription and you will end up beating it without any issues.

Big note is that you can both hire people to the army and also have them return to normal labourers making you only need to have the army for the final day before attack and then disband it again. There is no gain from having it active since experience through combat isnt a feature.

Tl;dr
Easy game with not too much game time required to beat it, The scenes are mediocre at best and sadlythe characters are at its hottest when they are in the sprite form as shown in the thumbnail.

Really good game, but to get everything easily first playthrough focus on defending the country and on second playthrough you can get tons of money and knowledge from the start to quickly upgrade everything and focus on the girls. Animations and scenes are alright I like it

This game is more a strategy game than a porn game. You'll have to really think about what you need to focus on, and once your economy is strong enough that you don't need to worry about it anymore, then you can freely pursue the girls in this game.

This is problem 1. The game's summary and tutorials suggest that this is a blend of strategy and porn, but it is more of a mish-mash. Choosing to focus on one foregoes the other.

The second problem is that some of the CGs do not work. It may be due to my use of cheat engine (though, all I did was cheat money and knowledge), but some scenes wouldn't load properly. After that, none of the CGs would load nor would the background. So it is a little buggy as well.

For me, it is three stars because I see the potential here, but anyone who wants a porn game will be disappointed to some degree.

One star reviews. Wow.
Before approaching this game, keep in mind:

1. It's an Alibi game.
2. It's a strategy game.
3. Compared to the previous Alibi strategies, this one has a bit higher difficulty.

Don't play this game if you're not familiar with Alibi, or if you're not into resource management.

Of all Alibi strategies (Silveria, Witch Island etc.) this is the latest and most refined one. Loads of tiny improvements deserve those 5 stars.

there is a 100 day limit and 2 time slots per day. by trying to unlock the porn, you're undermining your ability to survive attacks. Either make the plot actions not take up time or make it so there is no time limit. Having both is just annoying.

One of those games where the concept is cool, but it ends up being a flop either due to balancing or execution. The girls are kinda cute, which is what drew me to the game. The idea is to simultaneously develop your relationships with these girls while managing different aspects of the land you own. The issue is that it's severely skewed or doesn't work out if you're trying to focus on everything evenly.

Example: You want to develop some girls over others. They give you a significant boost in income via sharing profits or allowing you favors. The farm girl and the inn girl allow you to both profit significantly from their income after you become close enough with them.

There's basically no reason to chase after your maids or the girl in debt - only for sex scenes, which....don't do anything for your character? IF there was a lust meter or something then maybe...but the rules of this game are skewed. Every now and then, you'll be attacked by random enemy troops and will get a 5 day warning. This wouldn't be an issue if there was a limit on how many troops you could develop at a time, or if you could get a steady amount of income. Yes, you can level up your sources of income...which also cost money. You can collect debt constantly at the cost of missing out on developing relationships or attaining knowledge (you need knowledge to reduce the cost of things or leveling up your income even more). This places you in a cycle where you must:
1. Manage prisoners (Execute them so that you GUARANTEE the debt collection)
2. Collect Debt
3. Wait each day for laborers to come in.
4. Recruit military
5. Upgrade your walls + place more turret towers
6. Upgrade your accuracy for said towers with knowledge
7. Repeat steps 1-6.

Sure, you can argue, "git gud", but you have 2 of 3 options. Option 1 - Recruit enough military that you outnumber the enemy troops invading. Option 2 - Giga upgrade your walls and towers so that you can hopefully beat the enemy if they outnumber you. Option 3 - Restart from a previous save or give up.

This wouldn't be awful if the game gave you guaranteed income. Sometimes the public won't let you collect debt, so you have to rape the girl to set an example or execute a bunch of prisoners so that they'll be afraid of consequences. The tax-revenue you get isn't enough to offset all the expenses, and that's if you're not simping for the priestess that always makes you donate random amounts of money to develop your relations with her. End of the day, it's frustrating and would be more fun if you had stable income or more time slots. The fact that any wasted timeslots can end in a future game over almost makes this the Dark Souls of tycoon, pseudo-persona hentai games. I guess if you're into that, then you have your perfect game.

Don't waste your time downloading. It is a generic VN thats been broken up and tweaked to look like more than what it is. Day/Night interactions are only 1/1 and just looking around wastes a day cycle. Sex scenes are bland and dull. Combat system is terrible and building up your army to combat the 3rd invasion is basically impossible. Enemy soldiers are way overpowered meanwhile yours die fast and your archer towers basically have no effect even if you build 4-5 of them! Only way to get romance items to gift is for the Town girl to not pay you and you take something valuable, but you lose out on collecting taxes due to this. Also, the Church steals from you each night to day cycle so basically not too hard to get into the negative money bracket quickly. Overall, find a better game where the Devs actually put at least a bit of effort to make it manageable to play
