RPGM - Completed - Amelie falls over and over again ~ An endless week in Magic Academy [v1.24] [AVANTGARDE]

I agree with the other reviewers that the gameplay loop could've been more enjoyable and the corruption better handled. But Id still give this game a 4 stars ourely for the art and fetishes it touches on. Def better to just use a full save though after playing through the prologue.

As someone who already cleared the game, and is interested in NTR and Pregnancy:

• Story ok, I'm not a fan of Kinetic plot; Pregnancy ok, too little content of it and not causing any big impact.
• Gameplay ok. No 2nd playthrough, no free mode or open-world-like mode which allow you to pick whatever you wanna do at all.
• NTR aspect is good, though it's a pity it's unavoidable one. I prefer being able to control whether to make NTR happen or not. On the other hand, NTR in this game once again has typical easy-to-commit-to-sex FMC (willingly or unwillingly), and a weak MMC (not enough power, unable to do anything, small dicks, whatever typical weakness you see in many NTR doujins/games). At least MMC is not the typical retard one who don't even realize his GF being fucked my other males, cuz' thanks god i hate such retard since they're too unreal.
• Very hot CG.
• Conclusion: The game is alright. The whole game focuses on NTR aspect so the other aspects are weak af except CG. Once you clear the game you can turn on the game and fap to the CGs.

This game reminds me of Time Loop NTR which has nearly the same concept (mysteriously nearly same FMC too).

I'm gonna be honest for this game.

This game caught my eye in DLsite from the games that will be released in future. I'm fan of games like this where corruption takes another steps and main character body changes in shape and color as well with her mind. This is my thing ı don't care if it's ntr, playing as the male character, scat content or guto content ı dont mind as long as corruption is there with the way I want it I'm in.

But here there is no linear progress you sent back to past and redo all the stuff and expect different outcomes and scenes. That's a bit turn off.

Overall it's a nice game but with a better storyline would have been perfect. Maybe the wasted potential made wanna write something like this. In the future with a better translation and a detailed walkthrough maybe it will be more playable than it is now.

After finishing the game in about 14 hours (with some fast reading) I must say that I really liked the game.

Sure the dungeons/combat wasn't anything special but it can be easily skipped with the inbuilt fast-combat and/or lowering difficulty.

Its true that the map design is a bit overwhelming in the beginning but after some time you know where to look and you also get hints. All in all I would say that the game rewards exploration.

Translation is very decent with some wrong pronouns especially later on.

While the game is primarily in the MCs perspective you get to know the Amelias thoughts and feelings too.

From my perspective the NTR-theme is well executed and for me the MC never felt weak. On the contrary I think that the emotional rollercoaster is pretty well executed. The time-loop always plays out different every time and there is always the perspective of the reset. All the while Amelia and the MC always had (at least in my playthrough) an emotional connection.

Regarding the "bugs" there are some inconsistencies in random scenes in the form that you would exspect those in another loop and such, but all in all nothing too bad.

In conclusion it is a pleasent ntr-rollercoaster with an (if you want it) extended happy end.

4/5 *

Linear, basic h status view, weak minded FMC, map is too big and empty, small number of content.

The amazing intro cutscene lied to fans. It's not high production at all.

I guess it works because on dlsite this game is selling well.

around 5 hour to spend this game it feel kind of disappoint to studio that made previous game very good
This game was like Visual novel than RPG but nah some visual novel has alternative choice to choose
About artwork voice and sfx
it was very good artwork as always. it has almost of main - sub character
all in this topic was good

Story
it about loop time to find who summon dark magic or somewhat anyway.
it pretty boring clear one stage say some stupid reason you can't open next stage until next day it okay to be one or two time but it happen everytime kind a annoys reason to made mc get ntr

gameplay
1.about battle it wasn't that bad it has some normally but have technique to win easier but if you loop farm and buy some potion all of it was will resolve
and stupid crafting that didn't worth to craft

H scene
H scene gameplay absolute nothing no H battle scene only walking to see what Female mc doing can't do anything only see and not depend on story line. no loop h scene so it kinda lack of h scene no reuse scene

overall
it still was a good game but not good NTR game comparing to Nebel Geisterjäger it was masterpiece
- no choice decision
- can't avoid ntr
- can't doing anything just watch
- it has rank of corrupt h stat but you didn't one raise by you it raise by story u can't do anytihing
to be a good Ntr game there could have some decision made feel is like you was the reason made her get Ntr
anyway if you want to try story line to made feeling deeper to character go try it it has skip all battle i recommend to use it to all enemy and it don't have boss defeat h scene worth to exploration this world game
and last thing why or did they didn't have leviathan ending they build up to give hope that male mc can reject to female mc but at end they still be same

Short review about the game:

I actually like the normal ending,but with multiple netori guy/maotoko, i was expecting each of them has endings hahaha.

It was good game, good chara design, good story, and ero elements from typical AVANTGARDE games. It has neat UI and good map design too! But the dungeon part was too much chore.No wonder they give skip battle menu haha. Also if you want to unlock all scenes manually it will be pain in the ass. I think this game could works better with more hints or simple task for side events.

Also like typical AG games.... THE BUUUUUUGGSSS. At the time i just finished the game, they release ver. 1.03 of the game, the update mostly bug fixes.

I'm gonna make this review rather terse.

Story? Surprisingly serviceably good, if you focus on two characters. Who? MC and Leviathan. The budding romance is... oof, that ending.

NTR? It's shit. And not as in "NTR bad," it's bad in how fast it burns, how stupid the girls and MC are, always a contrived coincidence that MC can't do anything to help. The girls get corrupted TOO FUCKING FAST. The worst type of NTR is zero effort NTR. Amelia ain't shit.

Artwork? Amazing, as always. As standard for Avantgarde.

Gameplay? Horrible. Standard RPGM battles, which aren't bad. But going all over the big ass map looking for red [!] symbols isn't exactly fun.

Scenes? Plenty of (terribly done) NTR, with multiple positions and ahegaos and such, but don't think the MC be getting much poontang even despite the happy True Ending and (very limited) NPC rape.

Bad game, but not horrible. Hard to believe Avantgarde made Demon Harem with this as a successive work. Don't bother playing, just get a full save.

Overall a good story with great art and 3 decent corruption "routes". The dev clearly played the other timeloop NTR game and got inspired, but the timeloop mechanic is underutilised.

This story has no branches and is completely linear, which is the complete opposite of what a timeloop story should be, and there are even sequence breaks if you try doing certain things out of order. Due to how strong the art and corruption is, and how I enjoyed the story, this is still a 4* for me. Male protag, big titty woman corruption games are always great.

I will say I didn't expect much since I tried the demo and had an idea of how it would go. I was pretty spot on, so I didn't play this fully, I kinda speed-ran it so keep that in mind.

Overall the NTR here is super weak if you can even call it that. The girl is just a hoe who hops on any dick presented. If you had to label it I would say its bad corruption. The best NTR in the game happens during the demo section where the fat teacher walks in after she had sex with the boyfriend and fucks her too. Sloppy seconds is some pretty lame NTR though imo lol.

The whole school is basically just a brother trainer it seems. Like it has naked shopkeepers selling sex toys, in the school. Its not a school, its just a whore house.

The only thing I really give it high marks on is the art, which is very well done and saves it from a 1 star for me.

This is pretty good. Honestly, this is almost excellent, but there's some minor nitpicks to be done all around that lower the score a bit.

The story in this is surprisingly engaging for the overall theme, but the NTR is done in a way that is - as usual! - fucking stupid. Photograph blackmail and that type of stupid shit, which lowers the quality. But other than that, the story is surprisingly not that bad! The wizard/demon/church theme is done nicely, there's some good side-characters, and overall it's definitely readable and not just a "skip because I'm bored of the dialogue" game for me.

The art is great, the soundtrack is passable and not memorable - the opening however was a surprise and is as high quality as you'd expect in an actually good Visual Novel, which is surprising in a RPMG hentai game.

The issue, as is the usual with these RPGM type games that do most of the other beats right, is the gameplay.

For combat: It's the standard turn-based battles, and it's not BAD, but it's also... not good. It isn't easy to the point of just writing it off, but it isn't engaging enough that you actually need to think any further than type advantages and mindlessly using healing items - in other words, it's lengthy, but not nearly engaging enough to make it worth the time you're going to sink into it. It's a shame, because it's clear that they tried to make combat something appealing - noticeable in the "elite monsters" they've got going on that you can hunt and kill for better loot and other things - but it sadly fell short of actual quality turn-based RPG battles.

For exploring: It appears to me the developers missed their mark on this one. This game makes it seem as if you're going to get into a nice timeloop sandbox, where you're able to pick and choose who corrupts Amelia, what's going to happen, where you're going to investigate, these types of things. Unfortunately, it's clear that AVANTGARDE didn't want to fall too far away from the formula that has netted them success in other titles (such as the Fox Girls one or the Princess one) and as such they divided the game into Chapters. What this actually means is that, despite the timeloop which you can trigger at any point you want, and despite the time passing that you can also make pass whenever you want, exploration is very, very rarely rewarded. The game expects you to search for things in a certain way, and conclude them that way, so that then and only then the game will change chapter and will allow you to corrupt Amelia through other means and with other people. This makes what originally felt like a very free game in terms of exploration and choice of what you want to see turn out to be, in fact, an extremely linear game with an exceedingly large map that is put to very bad use. It's a shame, really; a bit more freedom and putting all of the corruption "routes" on the same map would make for a much, much better experience, almost in a VN-route type of way, and would actually reward exploration. Instead, you're met with a wasteland of empty rooms and repetitive NPC dialogue where you just follow the exclamation marks until the next chapter.

All in all, this is good, but it's not GREAT, mostly because the timeloop and exploration aspect are extremely badly done. Also, in case you're here JUST for the art, then the time spent walking to HCG ratio is surprisingly skewed, so a full save might serve you better.

AVANTGARDE appears to miss the mark so often in RPGM games that I'm half expecting them to just start doing VNs at some point in the future, and I believe that this game would rock a solid 5/5 if it were a VN instead of the walking simulator it became.

Not worth your time, the game throws bibles of text to you with information that isn't really relevant most of the time, it feels like it doesn't want to focus on the most important thing on NTR and Corruption games... the NTR AND THE CORRUPTION.
They prefer to focus on the magic and unreasonable motivations of the antagonists, on each rewind (the mc meets a god that gives him the ability to rewind 7 days) the girl gets fucked and corrupted from 0-100 in less than 2 scenes. And most of the 'NTR' scenes the MC is directly in front of her watching... there's 0 mystery.
Also there are other 3 girls that are corrupted from the start... they have some scenes, if thats your thing go for it.

The scenes are extremely random, there's one that happens in like 25% of the game where you stand on a yellow tile and the MC gets excited for some kind of aphrodisiac, Amelia decides that the best thing to do is masturbate him, because of course that would be the first option anyone would do on that situation. There's another one where the teacher says 'today we're going to have sex' and the whole class is like 'oh, okay' and have sex with Amelia in front of everyone because of sex magic.

But hey... the art is 10/10 so you can watch the unlocked gallery, you wont miss anything, there's 0 roaming scenes neither interesting conversations.

As always, I came in anticipation of the greatest NTR in history and got... another Japanese game with a cuckold protagonist.

The first 20 minutes of the prologue create a deceiving impression of an open world, revealing the characteristics of the protagonists and antagonists of this game and even impressing us with a decently made introductory video.

However, within the first hour, the game makes it clear that you're confined to rails, and you have to follow them. You can veer off somewhere else, of course, but you'll only encounter emptiness everywhere.

So, what do we have in the end:

Plot:
Just another story about a hero who relives the same week again and again in an attempt to solve the mystery of the academy. This plot simply exists, and it can't be classified as a positive or negative aspect.

Gameplay:
Absolutely dull and corridor-like, with no chance to skip NTR-scenes. They tried to make a thought-out combat system, but first, the game engine wouldn't allow it, and second, it's simply unnecessary here. Its purpose is to merely stretch your time. Apart from combat, the game's activity involves wandering around a large academy and collecting videotapes of your childhood friend being fucked by everyone.

Art:
Perhaps the only positive point of this game. The artwork is vividly and beautifully drawn, and it definitely stands out among games of a similar category.

Number of scenes:
Surprisingly, there are plenty of scenes in this game. This can also be considered a positive, and I'll add third star precisely for their variety.

So, as a conclusion, download this game right away with the gallery unlocked. Because it certainly isn't worth the time you'd spend on it.

Very good CG and somewhat average (if not bellow) gameplay. 4 hours playtime. I advise you skip the gameplay and just get a full save.

While CGs are nice the gameplay is fairly uninspired and even annoying. Game is very kinetic, so much so that it feels like map events (there isn't many) are an afterthought. Map is fairly big and there is no clear indicators where you should go to see ero stuff, also sometimes NPCs have *heart* icon above them and sometimes they don't (this means you have to interact with everything, just in case). Even worse most rooms are usually empty (no event), but the only way for you to be sure is to check them and it gets annoying fairly quickly.
Combat is inoffensive and doesn't really require grinding. Mostly combat is here to make the game longer.

NTR is ok at best. Obviously, different strokes for different folks, but for me NTR here lacks the emotional punch.
