RPGM - Completed - Ambrosia [v1.07] [Shimobashira Workshop / Kagura Games]

Have played it and my opinion of it is very high. Loved every second of it. When I finished the game and returned to my front castle yard, the music hits me and I feel nostalgia for the environment despite playing it all in one session ~9 hours. Excellent game, though I have not been able to finish off the night time bosses of worlds with greater or equal to four star difficulty (Gave up on the field regen one).

There are a few elements that, if present, always elevate my enjoyment of a game. Fast, fluid combat, lots of different gameplay mechanics, wide variety of scenarios sometimes intentionally triggered and corruption. Ambrosia has all of these in droves. So, if you're a fan of different gameplay elements alongside corruption, you will thoroughly enjoy Ambrosia. I have a few nitpicks, especially regarding the quality of the H-Content but for once, the flavour text made them sexier than they should have been.

RPGM combat is usually a tedious affair. But I actually had a lot of fun during combat in Ambrosia. Probably because it was incredibly fast-paced. You could kill most enemies within 3 hits (apart from bosses) and if you were strategic about it, even bosses could fall easily (even at very hard). I always enjoy battle-fuck mechanics and Ambrosia implements that alongside clothing damage. Always fun. There's an abundance of magical attacks, buffs and debuffs at your disposal and for once, they actually make a difference in combat. I actually enjoyed using the debuffs on bosses before one-shotting them. There are also a lot of items present. And they're actually useful (especially the treasures). All in all, the combat was as satisfying as RPGM combat can be.

But that's not all. The game implements a lot of unique gameplay elements and some polished old ones. There's considerable map movement and a variety of areas to explore, each looks different and has some semi-decent artwork in the backdrop during combat. There are 3 major cities teeming with activities to do. There's a shrine which you can update (which unlocks abilities, passive income, more H-scenes). There's also crafting. Materials can be procured from dungeons. This was a poorly implemented iteration, I felt. I didn't craft any equipment because materials were incredibly rare. But then again, I didn't need any crafting because the usual weapons were adequate. You can also do missionary work by distributing pamphlets or giving sermons. There's clothing changes. There's food collection and a special food shop to divest your accumulations. The most unique thing I encountered was the fishing mechanic where at particular spots you can fish provided you have bait and a fishing rod. There's also a day/night mechanic. Night enemies are harder and there are creeps everywhere which will damage your clothes or harass you.

H-Scenes are seamlessly integrated into this entire affair. There are the usual bar-work, dance-work, prostitution, but you can also get harasses during missionary work or be coerced into doing stuff for money etc etc. The usual. I really enjoyed the scenarios here. Properly titillating. However, the artwork during the scenes themselves leaves a lot to be desired. If that was fixed, this game would have been one of the all-time greats. As it is, it's somewhat disappointing but still thoroughly enjoyable.

A really really complete RPG game, have tons of features i like, colth changing, sex stats, corruption, talent.
You have many level of corruption that change the scene, and the game have multiple endings, you can upgrade your temple, get some legendary items with many effects both on story and gameplay, this game is a masterpice !
Art is also beautifull and it's uncensored thanks Kagura Games !

Excellent game, you can see a lot of effort has been put into it. You never get bored or wonder what to do.

PROS:
- Main character
- You can do the slutty virgin route
- RPG mechanics
- Interesting story
- Long game with post game quests

CONS:
- Lewd transitions to abrupt
- Lot of repeated CG
- You have to save before every h-scene because you can loose your virginity without any warning.

In an ideal world where good RPG would be a standard, I wouldn't put 5 stars to this one. But since most of the h-rpg are just an excuse to put some hentai into a very basic and shallow game, this one definitely stands out and is worth spending your time on.

Been awhile since the last hentai game managed to keep me playing for so long. 11/10

PROS
- MC design is cute and her character art is really expressive
(good character development too always a surprise to see this in hgames)
- Nice CGs
- Great storyline and execution of plot
- Beautiful map designs
- The church itself has a lot of things to do which I really love. [Things like furnishing and upgrading that shows actual visual differences]
- Everything unlocks at a natural pace, no sense of power gap or grinding involved
- Tons of collectibles (they even reward you for reading the books)
- Postgame bigger than expected which is definitely a plus

CONS
- Wish everything is available in Collection Room instead of being separated into Arena. The absence of missionary job scenes is kinda disappointing too.
- Fk Dex
- No post game power cheat item

Overall I really enjoyed this game, now if you'll excuse me it's 6 in the morning and I need sleep. Gnight

Ambrosia is basically 'the' sandbox/adventure game I've been searching for. I was impressed by the variables and dymanics that are made availible. From the item creation to character's freedom to go into town to do whatever, I hope to see more games just like these. There are not a massive amount of dungeons, but most of the elements of the game makes up for that.

Basically: you have the freedom to enter towns without clothing (after character developements), clothing system is operated well, the fighting is very well done, there is a complex amount of stats items that work together making the game feel balanced, and none of the hardcore H-events/scenes are 'forced' in playthrough of the game. Translation is done well, and bugs are minimal. The posting even offers a free 100% save game just to preview some of what is offered late-stage game.

Overall a good, full featured game that provides not only hours of play time, but quite a few sexy scenes. Provides a good, long narrative, that doesn't take long to resolve but at least it has a goal in mind and the battles are somewhat challenging early on. Bosses can be a challenge, and the special monsters provide an extra challenge.

Grinding is somewhat beneficial with extra skills that provide bonuses the more you do actions, though the artwork is repeatable and in some places not that inspired at least its somewhat erotic. The gains from sex activities can also provide "bonuses" the more you do them. While you can do a virgin run through, its not the easiest path, and I made it quite a few days before one battle where an Outlaw just took the priestess and her virginity; then decided may as well go full on slut.

Provides a New Game+ so you can keep replaying. The birth system looks fun and can provide you with more bonuses and daily items.

Fun and enjoyable game!

PROs:

• Good battle system
• Earned bonuses and awards
• Long hours of playtime
• Story! And it makes sense overall
• Bonuses for grinding
• Maps aren't that large
• Quest System

CONs

• Artwork is somewhat repeatable, a few are little more than a comic style image
• Need to watch the "training time"
• To get the better ends need to somewhat rush to get the Treasures to avoid having too much "training time"

This is a solid RPG game with corruption options that reach out to you through the game,

The English translation
Very well done, I saw one or two places where Japanese popped up, I personally fixed them with T++ for myself. They were only like three of them that I noticed.
Writing is just very well done though over all.

Playing character
You play as a Female protagonist. She is a devout religious person with deep convictions in the beginning.
But has gotten her self in trouble with some big wig in the religious order that she is a part of, and been banished or moved to the Island where your quest will proceed.
She is instructed to try and repair the religious nature of the Island, and bring the natives there back into the fold, while rebuilding the old dilapidated temple there.

Battle system
Pretty much standard hit, or cast magic, which for me is fine.

( some of those game makers experimenting with crazy battle systems just bugger the hell out of me)

Pretty standard, potions and there description may take a small amount of time to get use to. (Nothing major there)
Accessories are something to study as in some places you may find the use of one better than another.

Material gathering and Item making
It has a sort of construction ability you will find during the game play that you will be required to use for some of the quest line. So gathering materials is going to be something you need to stay on top of.

This will also allow you to make some of the best gear in the game so spend some time understanding it. ( Some needed materials are in places you will not see for some time. Or only found in certain locations and certain bosses)

Multiple endings decided by your choices through out the game.

My choice for the rating
I would give it a better rating but the images used for the H-scenes and minor animations are very repetitive and some of them are not aligned very well.
You are not to bothered by them in the early game, but after some time trying to extend the corruption level or increase it you begin to see this much more.

Over All
I think it is well worth a play-through I enjoyed it a lot.

The quest's are done in a way that is somewhat leaner, but choices you make can give them a somewhat non-leaner feeling.

I found it quite fun, and thought the quest line was very well thought out.

My first play*through
I chose to do a virgin run, this was just my thinking, but after finishing my Virgin run I was able to open all the H-scenes with and optional thing acquired during the game. (So for me this was good) As new game plus was then available for my next run.

Definitely up there in terms of gameplay. Every so often you have a very deep and content full game and this is pretty much almost there with only a few little niggles that could have been changed.

Story it a priestess whose friend is kidnapped, you have to find relics of a goddess who happens to be the rival of the god you serve. Along the way you can choose how corrupted the girl gets and with whom.

You have different outfits, different stuff you can do such as shoot porn, work in a brothel, be harassed by perverts, help people in the confessional booth, get a cute little acoltye that you can do stuff to when your rank is high enough in the church. All good stuff.

The map features a variety of locations and the area combat itself is quite fair and balanced, harder areas will hurt and easier areas will not, there were some close escapes for me such as the Mimic Guardian where I was uber lucky and managed to go down to just 1HP when I thought he would kill me.

Scenes are still images and do vary depending on the corruption level of the main character, the clothes she wears etc etc which is nice. All in all a good corruption RPG.

Points that would have helped would be a little more amount of events, whilst there is a lot and I said it was content heavy when you take the game overall, I find that 1 area has 1 or 2 naughty traders but the dirty town has few encounters, while a port town has perverts everywhere and lots of events. I get the niggling feeling the dev wen't from area to area adding stuff and then moving on without going back to areas. There could be a little more. Animation would have made it even better but not everyone can do that so one shouldn't be too harsh in that regard.

But I do recommend it, it did surprise me because you never know what you will get with RPGM.

It fits my taste also published by Kagura Games. So yeah i'm biased when it comes to Kagura Games.
Here's why:
Good storyline
The transition of being pure to corrupt
Uncensored
Art is good
Multiple endings
with good organized recollection room

This is all together just a solid standard RPGM game. All of the systems are put together well and there isn't much I would say are cons. The combat is good, the quests are fair, the gearing system is good, a good variety of outfits, the story is fine. As the 1 star reviews however have said there isn't really much substance to this game. Although it does everything well, it does nothing great.

The story is ok.
The erotic seens are ok.
The outfits are all pretty standard.
The corruption is ok.

There is nothing about this game I would call terrible. But none of it has much soul or anything to separate it and made it great. If you want a good new solid RPGM game to counteract the sea of super jank games, play it and I don't think you'll be disappointed, but you won't be finding a new favorite title.

This is by far the best of the Kagura games.

There is a ton of content, side quests, (damaging) outfits, sexy scenes and so forth. Two towns and a village have lewd activities that level up as indecency goes up.

There is even a pretty great exhibitionist bodypainting quest.

Strongly recommend to anyone who has liked any of this corruption style RPGMaker games, as this is really at the top of that genre.

An above average HRPG, but not without flaws. You play as a novice priestess exiled to an island to spread the faith, through the course of the intro it's established that this faith hates monsters but none the less you befriend one and save a villager together. Then monster friend gets kidnapped and you have to save them by gathering the 7 relics of an old god who helps you throughout the story. You find out that the holy faith is made up and they destroyed the faith in the old god through mind wipes and good old fashioned murder, priestess never seems too bothered by this. So you rescue monster friend, find out who the real big bad was, go fight him, game ends. It's not awful, and not nearly as cliche as the standard demon king plot, but it's not fleshed out all that well and none of the characters even seem to care that much. Priestess main character isn't much upset by finding out her faith is a sham, old god isn't bothered by the slaughter of her followers.

The combat is pretty much your standard RPGM turn based system. There is technically some battlefuck mechanics, but they're limited to only a few enemies, who share a few CG pairs that you actively have to try to trigger. I mean you need to spam defend for 10+ turns in a row for them to strip her, let alone actually grab her and do anything. It's there, but not well implimented at all.

Which leads me into the H scenes, there's a fair few and a decent variety of fetishes too. My only complaints here are how easy it is to miss some of them and the lack of a way to unlock everything in the gallery post game. Oh and there's a couple of broken animations, just images not lined up properly so there's dicks thrusting into empty space.

TLDR : It's above average, but only just. It's not a terrible RPG but it probably won't grip you either, so unless you really enjoy turn based combat just download a save file, the battlefuck isn't worth it. If 3.5 was an option, I'd pick that.

Realy nice game to play
The fun factor increase fast and the end game is pretty epic.
I just failed the order of the quests.. becouse i missed 1 person until i was complete op.. but anyway nice game, hope there will be more lategame content.

Sex stats, sex achievements, corruption, good art, good translation, good gameplay, good scenes, everything you could wish for in a hentai game right here.
One of the best, definitely.
Was looking for something similar of this quality for quite some time.
10/10
This is a masterpiece.

Played this one on untranslated version

A GEM that deserve translation

+Middle paced corruption (not too fast, not too slow)
+H Scenes changes based on your corruption lvl (4 stages, if I'm not mistaken)
+Clothing system affects H scene images
+Battle-fuck included
+Great quality H CG
+Gameplay is not boring either

10 / 10, will definitely play again, this time translated
