    An alright game.
    Pros:
    -Good artstyle, many variations of the same scene (for different characters, with/without virginity status, etc..)
    -Easy to progress game, not much grind
    -Stats for each heroine and different costumes
    -Heroines are voiced
    Cons:
    -Not many scenes. Instead, you have few scenes with different faces/bodies (when you change heroines to see the same scene)
    -No corruption (corruption levels give some fighting stats and that's it, but it doesn't affect lewdness of characters at all), you can do anything with any heroine without having to worry about her not accepting that.
    -Lame scene acquiring(not even night/day system, you just open a new lewd event, talk to the person 2-3 times to fully progress one scene and then switch heroine and repeat, no need to even leave the place you were standing at)
    -Pregnancy is a lie, never got a scene with pregnancy (there is not a single scene in the game, I double checked in full opened gallery), it just says that you got pregnant and paints a fetus on the character portrain in the lewd menu, that's it.

    Conclusion: not a gem in the slightest, but will do for killing time. I'd rate lower, but honestly, it's not that bad compared to most recent games.

    First off I just want to say I really enjoyed this game. It's solid and worth playing if you're onboard for something with a real plot. The story goes way harder than it has any right to. Hell, I'm reviewing it and that's saying something since I don't really do this. It can be a little grindy here and there and it's a bit long winded, but generally it's way more engaging from a plot and dialogue perspective than it has any right to be. There's a lot of voice acted dialogue for just character building throw away conversations and jokes between the three main characters and it fuckin works.

    That said, the H stuff is pretty good overall but also kinda mid. It's mostly non-con scenarios that are alright, and some corruption dependent scenes with some prostitution, but it feels like it's not quite there. There are some compelling ideas and scenarios. There's an rps minigame tied to a couple events that wasn't the worst, but overall I feel like they came up a bit short.

    Here's a rapid fire of the short comings, but plese keep in mind I still recomend the game overall:
    • The corruption mechanics felt pretty shallow.
    • The character's personalities didn't really change all that much except in some scenes where they were gatekept by a certain corruption level.
    • There weren't enough scenes in new environments.
    • A lot of scenes could've benifitted from an extra additional sluttier stage.

    One of the best games i played 10/10
    The story is pretty good no lose the battle scene(only bosses)
    The corruption is not too sudden if i remember correctly
    Voiced + there is 3 protagnists so you see their past what happened to them
    they really feel like a person not just some side char
    You can switch between 3 chars to see hscenes of them all of them have diffrent kind of reaction to the hscenes
    When you level up 3 or 4 times i really dont remember you get new skill
    You can change the chars clothing
    I forgot to mention there is chapters like 12 or 16 at max most of them have boss battle on the end of the chapter
    There is gambling yes gambling but its just for clothing you need to get to see a hscene you lttrly need to afk 1 hour to get 3 clothe to see evry of the chars hscene you dont need to gamble you can get the clothes if you use cheat codes
    The best part is when you go to shower they sing i dont know why but i still remember how they sing i felt deeply affected of it
    The main char is funny a little stupid
    The only problem is prob there is A lot of battles like when the enemy touches you go into combat
    you can skip them but in first few chapters dont skip them it was annoying but i kept my sanity so you can too dw
    i remembered now there is extra bosses like harder than bosses they all have diffrent weakness so you need to change how you use your skills you cant just use one skill well you can if you cleared the game but whats fun if you skip it : D
    Anyways its 10/10 for me i def recommend it play it or else : D
    (I writed what i remember there is a lot i dont remember prob so if there is a question you can ask me)(and please use the food bar in the game or you need to go back and forth evry time(when you fight they recover your hp and sp or you will need to go back to the safe zone without enemy to recover i dont use items in games so i forgot to even check healing items i remembered after like chapter 8 : D )) (i played like 2 months ago so i dont remember evry annoying part but it was at least fun to play if we dont include the fights)

    It's a decent game for what it is, if you are interested in the story.

    STORY AND CHARACTERS

    The story is actually quite good, in fact, with some decent plot twists. Word of advice, though, skip the intros. Not the opening, the anime-like intros (you get to see it once per chapter, and there are 12 chapters), because it spoils some things.

    The characters are generally likeable and have a lot of personality. Not just the main three, but the secondaries (well, most of them, at least)

    GAMEPLAY

    Now, the gameplay... It has good elements... badly used. The skill system (read, equipable passives) is actually interesting, the fact that you can choose the difficulty is always a plus, the battle system ON A VOID, is decent... but it suffers from:

    - A lack of balance (Normal is actually VERY EASY, Hard is Easy, or Easier Normal, Very Hard is indeed Very Hard or even worse, and I haven't tried the rest)
    - A lack of interesting battles. The bosses aren't awful, but the enemies ARE. Specially when they don't have interesting rewards (if you fight the first chapters, at one point the mone stops having any use, and until the end you won't get any skills above rank 1, and the crafting is basically useless until the chapter 10, where it BREAKS the game)

    Also, there are systems that are useless through most of the game. The crafting, as I said, is an afterthough until the end of the game, as, if you've been lewding the girls (even in a Virgin run), you'll have better weapons than anything you'll get until... chapter 9? 10? And it's not exactly hard to get these weapons I've mentioned if you've kept with the scenes. Also the first rank of recipes are for weapons that you bought TWO chapters ago, the next rank you will probably have the lewd level weapons, the third rank are in the casino (and you DON'T want to farm casino coins yet), the fourth rank is barely above the already mentioned weapons, and by the time you are in the fifth rank... that's chapter 9.

    The girls barely learn any active skills through levelling, so while the passives are cool, the girls will be limited to:

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    Besides that, you get the actually meat of the combat system, the weapon skills. You can equip one skill to your weapons, of three different skills per weapon (and three ranks per skill). So besides all I've already mentioned, depending on WHICH skill you've crafted into your weapons, you get:

    Astel:
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    - Ima:
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    Disaster:
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    It sounds like a lot, yeah? It isn't. Outside of Ima, you won't be using the girls natural active skills if you can avoid it, and you can only have one weapon skill equiped in each weapon (with a cost in money to replace it), so Astel and, specially, Disaster, will be playing with two skills in combat most of the time (Ima too, but not as much as those two). A system that it is, in the void, interesting, in reality means you'll be spamming the same skill time and time again... or you'll just keep attacking.

    You get the weapon skills by killing enemies. Again, in the void is sounds interesting and it goes against what I said about the enemies not having interesting rewards. In reality, though, for most of the game you'll only get the rank 1 versions, you can buy them in the extra shop in any case, and their real use most of the time is to sell for money, because for most of the game the enemies don't give that much (but selling the skills certainly DOES)

    H-CONTENT

    In the first chapters is actually quite decent. There are a lot of scenes, and outside of the most tame ones, the game certainly doesn't pull any punches for the girls. They are going to go through rough to brutal sex, with gangbangs (tens of people against them), mind control, monsters, tentacles... they also can prostitute themselves, for more consentual scenes. If you like hardcore hentai, this game will scratch that for you... until the shit hit the fan. Then, besides a few "game over rape" scenes (with no game over), you'll barely get any new scenes. That's about a third of the game. Maybe a bit more.

    But it also has a lot of costumes, and the sprites REFLECT them. At some points the girls will change to a certain dress (usually the standard one) because a scene requires it... but you can change it and many times you can do it BEFORE the scene, so it is hilarious seeing these three in lingery saving a hostage, to give one example.

    But, the content that it gave, I did enjoy, and there is A LOT. Just... not well paced. And not too much consentual. Also everything is heterosexual sex, so don't come here looking for yuri or gay, you won't get it.

    FINAL SCORE

    The score I give the game is a bit biased, because the story, for me, did save a lot of the game, but the battles ended being tedious most of the time, I missed the sex at the end and most of the systems were underused and lackluster. So read that score more like a 3.5/5 than 4/5. The sex and, specially, the story kept me, because the combat sure didn't.

    I've seen people saying "play on normal, you won't miss anything". I disagree though. Hard is also quite easy, and in normal you won't get the crafting materials (they only drop on hard or above). And those are the core element to outright break the last fourth of the game, and that was the most fun I had with the combat system, seeing how three gals in brothel lingery could utterly humiliate gods and eldritch aberrations. I beat the first phase of the final boss in two turns, by example, and nothing endured more than three turns against my team at that point. Not even the hidden super bosses.

    PD: Oh yeah, I forgot, unless you are into it, don't bother with a Virgin Run. You can obtain the rewards the game gives you for it in chapter 10... in chapter 10, it just needs a bit of effort. If anyone is curious, it gives you the rank 6 recipes and a lot of resources to craft them, but you can get them in that chapter fairly soon in any case, so... yeah, if you are into virgin runs, go for it, if you aren't, no, it's not worth it. The ending is the same, no matter if the girls would fuck anything that moves (and a few things that doesn't) or if they barely know the meaning of the word sex.

    A monotonous game with unnecessarily complicated operation of heroines' skills. Even a rather interesting story doesn't save the gameplay. It's no slouch, but it's not an outstanding game either. Such an average.

    I was really enjoying this game through about chapter 5. It had a decent story that advanced at a decent enough pace and each chapter added more porn to unlock. After chapter 5, the porn basically ends and you're left with an endless chain of dungeons that aren't very good or interesting. It's worth playing for about 3 hours and then I would just stop, honestly.

    APonderingWhat

    I am aware that a previous version of this game had bugs. I had this version, but when I ran into the bug, I noticed that the bug-free version was uploaded, so any bugs will not affect my rating. I am also a huge Cheat Engine/cheat program user, so grinding never affects my rating really.

    This game has one big flaw that makes it just an average game.

    Story is 4/5. Without spoling anything, I think the twists and turns the story make, while predictable, kept it entertaining enough for me. I really enjoyed reading through it.

    H-Content is also 4/5. I thought all of the scenes were great. A variety of scenes that has good art, and while I wish there was a lot more, it wasn't too bad.

    Art is 5/5, though I felt like the sprite artist and the h-artist were two different artists. I actually found the sprite art to be really cute, but some of that attraction was lost in the h-scenes.

    So, if the story, h-content, and art are all at least 4/5, why am I rating this as a 3? Simple. The h-content and the story feel disconnected from each other. Besides a few game over scenes and one particular h-scene involving a mechanic, all of the h-content does not affect the story in any way. Whether you play a virgin run or not won't affect the story in meaningful ways.

    This is cemented by how you can access the h-scenes. Some h-content will only unlock once you reach a certain chapter, but in some of those chapters, you are locked to a particular set of maps. Well, the game's solution is to give you a lantern that allows you to travel to the city in a parallel world to see these scenes. What's parallel about it? Does it have something to do with the story? Not really. It's just the game's excuse to give you h-content in a place that, story-wise, you shouldn't be able to access. Instead of putting h-content where your characters are in the story, they instead put them in a place that would make no sense to the plot if it was canonical.

    It really feels like there was a RPGM all ages game and a corruption "find the scenes" h-game, and someone put them together without worrying too much on how it would fit. And it's not like you can't do both simultaneously. Plenty of h-games have a great story that can be affected by your h-stats. But this is not one of them.

    TL: DR: There are two potentially great games here, but because they have been stuck into one game, it becomes just mediocore.

    Story: 4/5

    Overall: 3/5


    Overall mediocre game, don't waste your time on it if u wanna good any H-content. A lot of useless fights, combat system has a little to none complexity. Story is engaging, but who the hell play h-games for the plot?

    And the Hero Was Never Seen Again

    Playtime: 12h
    Playthrough: Virgin clear (not recommendet) on Normal


    Story:

    The story was good, it kept you somewhat interested in the characters and the voice acting made this game feel more like watching an anime. The game gives you in missions the option to start a conversation with your party and listen to their thoughts and opinion (fully voice acted!) which makes listening to them, if you care for the story and characters a must.

    Story + H-Part:
    Almost non-existent. I think there are one or two scenes with nudity and two optional scenes.

    Gameplay:

    You do your missions and after that you are able to roam a little to get some scenes. Battles can be challenging in higher difficulties and managing the right combination will get crucial, but not if you play it on normal.

    H-Content+Gameplay:
    Some lose scenes, a Battle-rape-system for specific jobs/activities which boils down to Rock-Paper-Scisscors and I think thats it. You can switch outfits, but they don't really do that much (some do unlock a job).

    H-Content Overall:

    Lackluster, especially if you like games where the story and H-Scenes are intertwined. You get a fully voice acted scene for every Heroine but they do not really vary in any special kind. Lewd Exp will make your heroines stronger and also does unlock some other scenes.


    Overall:
    Play it if you like the art and a nice story - but if you want the H-Content, you will be fine with a gallery savefile.

    The main reason why only one Star, is the fact that this game locks one in the room before the final boss. If you can't beat the boss, you can't grind. Enjoy restarting the game or you had a save a room earlier.

    Story is what ever. It is an anime level of writing. Same characters, same reactions. Nothing worth talking about.

    Combat, the usual RPG combat.

    Actual H-Content. Basically nothing interesting. Pregnancy is a HUGE lie! There is no real mechanic behind it. Just one extra scene per character.

    So, you have found yourself on an ambitious little game in hopes of a good masturbatory session. Go, you, I would say, but also I would say hold your horses a moment. In all I would say the game is decent, but there's a lot of things that can be said about it:

    H Content - 3.1/5:
    The reason most of us are here, right? Guys, gals, in-betweeners; I don't judge. The game gives you three characters, and there are numerous repeats or variants between them depending on your taste. The deciding factor on whom is shown is whichever girl you have put in the lead of your party formation, save for special scenarios where you see all three girls at once for a moment; then you choose who gets used. There are a couple close calls of seeing all three girls used at once, but it never happens. On the one hand, there are a few fun scenarios to be had, but on the other hand you have variations of a shota scene, a few generic scenarios in place while saucier scenarios never occur, a trio of super fugly wannabe "heroes" who keep showing up, and a pregnancy mechanic that amounts to sleeping it off and it's nothing more than a nightmare (sort of more on this in a sec). The corruption system lets you become a lewd virgin (in stats only), a non-virgin who's never lewd, and the story-canon level of pure. I even felt like there should have been more opportunities in both iterations of the casino. Sadly, it's just scenes playing out, only some being decent or good while some are turn-offs for me, with no impact on future H events or story events. I'll touch more on one scenario I wanted more of in the next section.

    Story - 4/5:
    By itself, as a jrpg, the plot is fine, if the twists can be seen from miles away. I enjoy time travel as a concept, and this game almost manages to do one-way travel well on a couple occasions, not to spoil it. Some moments are too convenient, on the other hand. As mentioned above, H events and lewdness do not impact anything. I think what bothered me most was when the girls meet the princess, and there's an avoidable scene with the princess forcing herself on the main character; not because of the scene itself (though being less rapey could have been nice too), but because it's one-and-done and never brought up again, never given a chance to be built upon, and I wanted more fun with her, dammit. The story upholds its status quo harder than so many TV shows in the last 25-30 years, and railroads you into one canonical ending by the time you finish. I feel the story, which is again fine as it is on its own, could have been better with little routes for the three girls based on lewdness and such decisions as trying to romance the sapphic princess, whose role and personality in the story currently becomes as relevant as the birthing scenes once her one-and-done H event is over (sure, she's there, but... is she really?).

    Level Designs 3/5:
    Most of it all works just fine. There are times I just want to turn on no-clip and get on with it already. As mentioned earlier, the casino iterations (and another late-game location) are limited, but this is because you can't even use the bed and shower that are clearly right there (given the option that opens at Lewd rank 19, and that you'd have to portal back to the main city most likely once you get it, having more places than your Dorm Room for certain night activities would be good). The gameplay loops for the first few chapters doesn't feel awful or repetitive, so that is a resounding neutral, almost a plus. The chests like to give you weapon materials (fine), regular currency (cool), more casino currency than you'll probably ever need, and some healing items, but you can't tell what you're getting based on the color of the chest. So there's some decency here, but there's room for improvement or polish. Oh, and the chapter 11 bonus for virginity is actually laughable, I am sorry to report.

    I did like the three girls, at least. Even though the mtf transformation was somehow even more underwhelming than the H events' impact on the story. It's alluded to a few times, but the six month time skip in the beginning makes the main character adjust off-screen perhaps a little too much, perhaps too quickly. The "demon" girl and "monster" girl have their own charm as well, and it's nice seeing an organic, natural camaraderie between the girl trio, made better by optional skits like you'd expect from a Tales game. The fugly boy trio? I wish we could have ditched them early, speaking as a pansexual lady of culture.

    Combat 2.5/5:
    On a side note before I begin, the music in the game is picked out fairly well. The reason I bring it up now? You're going to get in a lot of fights, and the victory theme is going to be A DEAL LOUDER than the rest of the audio. It's like a local TV or radio station's commercials compared to whatever you're watching or listening to, and it will be heard a lot (or is that just me?).

    *ahem* Now then. The combat is neither good nor bad. I like the fact you can charge up an attack, but not how little time it lasts, and less how high-ass stats continue to do so little for outgoing damage, especially mid-and-late-game when monsters and bosses start taking those hits like lesser sponges. Leveling up is fine at first in terms of speed, but quickly becomes a chore. That's before accounting for how uneven the leveling thresholds are for all three characters (like I ended up opening Mtool just to keep the girls even). Skill customization is maybe so-so, but is a neat concept made slightly better by raising lewdness for additional slots or (non-lewd) abilities. I'm not expecting lewd abiliti4es in a game without lewd combat, but somehow the 20 lewdness levels are the last place I expected to receive aide for something so non-lewd, but I guess it vindicates the droprate of all those lewdness-raising items.

    My final score 3.15/5. Playable, can be enjoyed at parts, but it leaves a fair amount to be desired. May Circle Poison do more and greater things in the future. =)

    The gameplay and story are good for an H game, but average at best compared to normal rpgs. This becomes a problem because the adult scenes are way too sparse and spread out...you can easily go an hour between scenes. Good voice acting, but the game really started to drag, especially towards the end. There's a lot of grinding, and the stat curve seems off to me, started at lvl 1 with 30hp and ended at lvl 50 with around 250hp. I played on normal and spent around 16 hours fully completing all the side quests and optional bosses. I'm glad it has NG+, but no real reason to play it that I'm aware of.

    Art is decent, but reminded me of games from 15-20 years ago and the scenes weren't particularly exciting for me. The main premise that the hero was a man turned into a woman seems underused as well, I only recall it being mentioned in 2-3 early scenes.

    This is a good game but let's face it, we know why we're all here. This is a game that happens to have R18 as an afterthought. This is a JRPG game first and foremost, and the R18 scenes are added on like as if the game didn't have the scenes, it wouldn't be sold.

    Zorkman

    A poor porn delivery device, a mediocre and tedious battle system, and a great story. The combat, gameplay and story aren't sexy at all - it's very much a few short scenes tacked onto a boring RPG battler. If you do decide to give it a try, keep the difficulty on "Normal" 'cause you aren't missing anything, but I'd recommend skipping it entirely.

    The story is really well done for what it is. It has its share of tropes, but the characters feel distinct, their interactions are fun, and the little cutscenes you get to trigger round them out over the course of the game. That part's a lot of fun, and it shows the creators took care to make well-rounded characters whose relationships progress more organically than in most games. I'd love to see that touch get implemented in other games.

    Particular care was put into the UI to make sure it wastes as little time as possible. Like the little mini-scenes I mentioned above, I'd love to see many aspects of it get implemented in other games. There are a couple teleportation systems, including one that lets you return home with the press of a button, which removes much of the tedium of map traversal. The quest log is always on-point: Players will always know where to go to progress the story, and also where/how to find the h-content. No need to guess if defeat will trigger a sex scene, or if something's been unlocked since you last checked. Just keep following the story, then engage with the optional sex content at your leisure. It's just a shame it feels like there's so little to find.

    This game commits the cardinal sin of sex games: It's sex scenes mashed with a turn-based game, with nothing at all linking the two. There's nothing sexy at all about combat: no corruption mechanics, no mid-fight scenes. In between the h-scenes the characters never mention them - story wise it's really like they never happened at all.

    The scenes themselves are few and far between. There's no way to get more beside plug along with the story. They're over too fast and they're too vanilla to leave the audience satisfied after waiting so long, which makes this game poor fap material. They're done just as they're getting started, then you'll wait an hour for the next one.

    At first it seems nice that each scene can feature each of the three main characters. But audiences will quickly realize that all the scenes are practically identical - same setup, dialogue, same position - with only the character's sprite and a couple lines changed. This makes re-watches boring, which makes it a shame that the only way they even tried to integrate sex and gameplay is by giving each character unlocks after they acquire "lewd points" in scenes. You have to watch each scene three times in a row - once for each character - to trigger their unlocks. I don't think "thank God I can fast-forward through this" is what you want your audience to think during the sex scenes.

    The less said about the combat the better. It uses stock sprites that have nothing to do with the story or setting. Each enemy feels identical to the last. On Normal difficulty combat is really "hold A to win". Higher difficulties make it feel a bit more challenging, but never enough that it's anything more than stock RPG maker combat. It never does anything new, interesting, or fun, and what's there is done poorly. Best I can say is that the developers don't seem to punish the player for playing on the lowest difficulty setting, where the combat gets in the way the least.

    A great story with fun, well-rounded characters paired with a UI designed to waste as little of the players' time as possible is a great start. The complete lack of anything sexy at all outside the scenes - which are rare and mediocre - and the uninspired, boring combat drop the ball hard. As I said above, if you decide to give this a try, leave it on Normal difficulty to waste as little time as possible. If you're looking for good h-content, though, keep looking.

    Let's start by saying that I liked the game, and I stress the game part.
    This is a game, where the porn (like some other reviewers have mentioned) looks a bit like an afterthought.
    Doing a virgin run doesn't leave you bored to death and with blue balls. The characters are well written, and there is enough interaction between them to forget that this is indeed a porn game (Let's not kid ourselves, that's why you downloaded it).
    The game have plot twists, it is voiced, has songs and all the bells and whistles to make it a more than decent RPGmaker game.
    The porn.... Well.... the CGs are nice. They are not animated, but there is quite a lot of variety, between virgin and not virgin, and different interactions in the scene.
    All in all, a solid 4 stars. I would go for five if the porn was a little bit better integrated into the game, but sadly, that's not the case

    In one word: No.

    This game doesn't deserve even 1 star. It does not. It is a total sham. An atrocity. I've played incomplete Patreon scams that are better than this and I'll go into full detail elaborating on why exactly that is.

    Before that I'll preface by saying that if you're completely new to HRPGs, or if you have no standards whatsoever, if you aren't particularly passionate about this hobby and are here perhaps solely to get off and merely CTRL through the garbage writing, this might be an acceptable title for you. Otherwise, I highly discourage anyone capable of critical thought from hurting themselves by playing this. You don't have to suspend your sense of disbelief. You need a lobotomy to enjoy this.

    Now, to the good stuff.

    The QRD:

    +Decent art
    +Voice acted with competent VAs
    +Acceptable mechanics, difficulty, and overall game systems

    -Detestable cast of absolutely insufferable characters
    -Awful pacing
    -Inconsistent narrative
    -Disconnected H elements from the main plot
    -Inexistant corruption system
    -Terrible map design with oftentimes immersion breaking NPCs and a lot of backtracking
    -Absolutely cringeworthy "banter"
    -Vomit inducing degree of adherence to specific trope templates
    -Repeated usage of entirely irrelevant OP/ED videos

    Some spoilers included.

    The game starts off by introducing you to the hero of the story, engaged in a death battle with the end boss. The side characters look very underwhelming, oftentimes of lower quality compared to the main cast, and the Demon King boss is a generic premade enemy, used by many games. Not that he appears for long, mind you. Once the blinding flash transition screen has successfully finished burning your retinas, you are presented with a more desirable version of the hero, a relatively cute blonde girl. Genderbending is a go. So far so good, but sadly the dev decided that it would be a great idea to have the girl version of the hero introduced naked, leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination. Here, the game makes its first major blunder by presenting the now genderbent hero as someone who is completely oblivious to matters of combat and almost entirely deprived of his common sense.

    Introducing the mandatory tutorials for your run of the mill HRPG! Yes, movement buttons and basic turn based combat abilities! Explain them to me like every other game already does, assuming that I'm a retarded mouthbreather! Great!

    So how is the Hero, the person who beat the Demon King, completely oblivious to basic things? It's amnesia, right? No, wrong. It's deliberate sloppy writing. His(her now) friend has to explain the most basic things. This is very irritating and immersion breaking. The hero, supposedly traumatized by his sex change (doesn't really show it), appears to have a complete hikkikomori personality, so much so that it would make you wonder how exactly did he become the hero who has singlehandedly beat the Demon King in the first place. Yes, without any outside assistance, peanut gallery aside.

    But I can live with that. Surely it will get better, right? Think again!

    The game does its utmost to stay within the confines of a certain template and utilize similar boring tropes accross all characters and developments. If the 3 heroines utilized the same model, I wouldn't be able to differentiate between them, because they're written extremely similarly, with very little deviation aside from particular reactions to certain scenes and situations. But those are minimal.

    Now, what of the gameplay? Hold spacebar to kill monsters. Level up. Heal when needed. The end. Truly revolutionary. At least there's something to do with the crafting system.

    And the H? Likewise as bad. The girls are all meek pushovers, extreme masochists, and act completely out of character! They immediately give in to both the enemies and the pleasure. There's no good pacing or corruption involved because who the fuck cares, supposedly? I can't say what the dev was thinking when he made this. The H is entirely separate from the main plot. Whenever a dev goes so far to even encourage players to do a virgin run for bonus items as so happens in this game, I immediately assume that it was done from a lack of confidence in the content. Someone who's confident in his work doesn't outright recommend such things, instead he presents options and tempts the player into debauchery. This game doesn't do that, as is immediately evident from the sheer number of copy pasted scenes. Yes, every girl has the same variation of (almost) every scene. Why are toilet or showering scenes available? Who knows? But they are, and the reactions are all the same. Who cares, though, these are inconsequential and it's already sounding like I'm nitpicking. But what of the other scenes? It's the exact same deal. Do a side job cleaning toilets and get molested by some guy. The reaction from the girls? The exact same. They complain, not really resisting, after which they orgasm. This is at the start of the game. The girl who assumed a very threatening posture after a certain event just lets herself be molested by some nobody. Imagine that! The open bath? Same thing. They undress, both of them in the exact same way, followed by the exact same reaction to the peeper outing himself.

    But what about the good stuff? I hope you're a fan of losing, because you'll be doing that a lot if you want to see any kind of penetration. A good chunk of content is locked behind generic forced defeats against enemies nobody would lose against, unless they played on the hardest difficulty from the start, something not really recommended out of balancing issues.

    The story also has so many pointless throwaway characters that exist solely for cheap exhibition and to present certain dilemmas. I simply could not grow any attachment to any of the characters, especially not the bimbo trio of protagonists.

    And you know what else? I could drone on for another 2 pages, but this terrible experience has me so pissed off right now, more and more as I type, that I'll just stop.

    Are you craving an exceptional story? None here.
    Do you desire an intricate corruption system? Go elsewhere.
    Looking for a nice variety of H scenes? Tough luck.
    Wish to challenge yourself with the combat? If placing a paperweight on the spacebar fulfills that desire?
    Want to experience a journey of wholesome characters? It gives budget anime vibes, the kind that doesn't sell even 10 BD copies.

    I haven't been this disappointed in something in a long time and I felt like the game was actively insulting me every minute I played.

    Garbage/5.

    it is more of good/decent rpgm JRPG (fairly decent combat too) than HJRPG. The porn part is not that great and kinda limited (although the scene implemented different outfits based on what you wore, which is, kinda rare). the story is decent enough and the characters are likable. Think of it as jrpg with hentai on the side rather than hjrpg.
    Btw, Astel sub weapon deals AoE damage and with the charge skill can make grind/encounter pretty short. just in case you read somewhere that the character is not that "great".
    Man, i hate misinformation.

    Am a casual gamer and also i have played all Poison 's games and doujishi so far , this game is 10 hours long and does have decent story , a very basic rpgm and well voiced , story telling is good at first and then latter on is very rushed like the dev realize that they need to wrap as fast as possible so end up speed run all the villain story arc and skip all the way to the end with a boss fight .
    Art is good but it very boring along with the "rock paper shield"mini game, gameplay is super basic with crafting mechanic that you rarely use at all .
    Overall this is another mediocre game from this studio
    Just download save if you like and wait for Slave sword 3 which is under way

    Okey when i started playing this game i was pretty much happy with it. Clothing system, other hair style, pretty fast combat, some story, side jobs etc. typical RPGM game. First half of the game i was okey with it but the longer you play the longer the dungeons are and even more monsters are just walking around (you can skip them without problem but skill you need money, exp or w/e) and after i killed every second monster because how long do I need to kill them (Maybe Khorne made this game to collect more skulls or something). The amount of h scenes were decreasing and the amount of monsters and walking increased. H content is okey but when you saw most scenes with 1 female character they are pretty much the same for the others just copy scene and paste new character lol.

    Story: 4
    I guess it's not a bad story maybe even for 5 but after playing this game for some time i had enough of it.

    H content: 2
    Around 25 scenes and most of them are the same for other characters so in theory you have around 75 scenes but they are the same. Pregnancy is pretty much a debuff in this game. When your character gets pregnant you lose some stats untill you "give birth" on your bed so you get a scene and that pretty much it so after you see it once just change to infertile on toilet not worth it!

    Combat: 3
    The combat is fine but you just fight way too many times. The only think you need is Imis (mage) cast her first skill frost needle or w/e it's called and when you get Disaster (huntress) you use sub weapon with normal attack any time of normal enemies should be dead. Atler (hero) is only usefull for boss fights or as healer and she isn't even good healer xD.

    Crafting: 3
    Crafting system exist but i crafter maybe 1 item the whole game

    Cheating: Save editing doesnt even give you much because you 1 shoot packs of monsters and bosses aren't difficult only for money and clothes

    Customization : 4
    Well some outfits are pretty decent and second hair style is better for every character the problem is WHERE THE FUCK IS HARIOT OUTFIT!? Outside of cheating it with the nuclear codes i couldn't find it. The outfit for 5k in city is also useless it isn't even that good looking and you waste the gold for it.

    Side jobs: 3
    Pretty much no gameplay from them only h scene but you have outfit go work there scene that has 1~3 options. It's not even based on your corruption/lew lvl just do the job 3 times and you get it.

    Characters: 4
    Decent

    Sex status: 1
    This gives bonuses for being more lewd but farming this is pain in the ass. You must spam 1 fast side job for it or just buy tons of potions to increase.

    Final conclusion:
    I wanted to give this game a 4 but the longer i played the more i thought "Where is the end of this game?".

    TLDR: I would say this game is the same as TLDR so if you dont want to spend like 5~7 hours on this game just skip it or just find save for H content.
    It's okey but way too long.

    I love this game! It's kinda of like watching an anime movie, but then they toss in RPGM elements. They have a good story, and interesting characters. They have a good combat system with adjustable difficulties. You can do a virgin run. This is how RPGM games should be done. There are different sets of clothing you can wear, and although some things can be a little confusing it's great once you get used to it. Like to change clothes you do so from the status menu.
