RPGM - Completed - Apostle: Rebellion [v1.05] [Kamichichi]

"Apostle: Revellion" is a great game that provides the player with a variety of different experiences. It's evident that the developers created this game with a lot of care, especially in the design of the scenarios. Many of the cities and locations appear futuristic, with numerous references to other games from the same company, such as Lunasoft and Kagura Games. The developers understand their audience well, and they have definitely improved compared to previous releases.

However, despite the affection put into this game, it does have its flaws. There is a peculiar card system that doesn't lead anywhere, the decision to hide treasures untill an unnecessary zoom is applied to the screen, and a battle system that makes sense in part but is overly simplistic in other aspects. Additionally, the story attempts to be profound, but at the same time, the characters exhibit a level of intelligence that is average to low, fitting the typical style of these types of games.

Nevertheless, it remains an enjoyable and recommendable experience, especially for those who have already played the first game and want to expand on the lore and appreciate the attributes of these characters.

I wanted to give the game more stars because from the beginning, you can see the amount of work they put into some things, trying to be more than just a porn game... but!

• The story isn't bad, just cliché and exaggerated. But the writing is terrible. Making the girls seem dumb (and the mc but they are almost always a bit shitty).
• The "anime voice" thing is bit annoying on some girls (especially the blonde with the gun, but I hated the entire character).
• The gacha system sucks. Even with cheat engine for money, I grow tired trying to complete it. There are a lot of cool things that they could do to make it more fun, but they could at least give you faster options to buy the cards.
• Maybe this falls into the writing rant, but since you are supposed to date your girls in the game, that dialogue never reflects it is annoying. The MC can just promise every girl they are the only one or start showing insecurities like "don't look at other men" while fucking every girl in the group. Given the amount of dialogue in the game, they could at least cut some of that and fix that.

I don't want to compare it too much with the 1st game, but I have to mention that this one is more vanilla and has less variety in sex scenes. Not a single rape or BDSM (not a fan of BDSM, but having variety is a good thing in my opinion).

The game also have a LOT of unpolished features, like the phone calls, some points on the map, the gacha (my god), Layla, the messages, the ATM machines (why are they in the game?), dialogue choices, the taxi? it's just weird that can only take it from home. And events, well, I like them, but some of them make you feel like they are incomplete.
I guess they wanted to give you the illusion that there are a lot of things to do in the city, but in the end, it's not that much.

Sure, the game definitely has its positives, but I don't want to go on and on about it. This review is already long
(I know I might sound overly critical of the writing, but it's hard to take a serious story seriously when you have girls with melons and a boss who talks to you with his areolas out )

This is one of those games that I wish I could do .5 increment ratings for, because when I think of the amount of content both porn and otherwise that I was able to enjoy it is definitely up there in terms of quality. The writing was good and I definitely got the feeling that each character that I interacted a lot with had their own personalities and it was enjoyable to explore them. It was also nice to have the separate content sections within the game world for a little variety. I do wish there had been a little more interaction between characters themselves based on what you had done within the game but for as much as we had already it was pretty impressive.

Also as a side note but some of the cutscenes were far better than I would have expected and the effort was 100% appreciated.

The gameplay itself was enjoyable and for most of the game I did not feel like I was having to struggle with the game at any point to progress, no real hardstops for grinding at least on normal and I actually really enjoyed the little minigame portions, both in some sidequests and in a few main quests. Then I got to the end of the game, and while I did not grind, I also did not straight up ignore a whole lot of encounters, but the final boss was basically impossible at the level I was at. I went out to grind for a little bit but after about an hour of that and trying again and still getting 1 shot by side of the multi turn attacks I just turned on the god mode that was included, I certainly can't say for sure whether or not the final boss was why it was included but it was the only fight in the game that I felt like I was not supposed to win, but losing was not actually an option.

I'd like to say this game is more of a 4.5 out of 5 for me because of this, the god mode being an option taking out most of my annoyance at the sudden difficulty straight shot to the moon that it was, and I am more involved in the story itself within the game to be too bothered. Usually for me the inclusion of a well developed gameplay loop is more of an bonus for me and not a necessity as long as I enjoy the story so that will definitely make the difference for others.

I'd also say that I do feel like despite the enemy variety throughout most of the game, I did start to lose interest in most of the fights later. Mostly due to the fact that the characters themselves don't really grow and learn new skills as the game moves along. I enjoyed what was already there, and the ability to switch people around on the fly on the same turn was nice, but it was a little shallow. Not awful, but if this has been a game of say twice the length, I would have gotten more and more sick of the same kind of fights at about the halfway point and been pretty soured for the second half. Thankfully the length was just about right where I only had the hint of that feeling somewhere near what was already the end of the game.

The ending was Evangelion like, something about it gave me that feeling almost as soon as it started, I didn't dislike it but for as much as I enjoyed the rest of the story it was a little flat. Maybe even bordering on cliched. However despite some of the problems I had near the end I definitely got quite a few hours of enjoyment out of this game. I wish I could do half stars, but instead I will round down to a 4/5 and say definitely worth the time. Fuyune best girl.

This game was pretty cool. The Story and characters were solid enough for me to give this a playthrough. The music and graphics were also much more impressive than I thought they'd be for this type of game. However, some things like the zoom function and the dated rpgm combat system hold this game back from really being special. I'd recommend using some sort of cheat engine like others have suggested.

I'd give this game a 4.5 if I could. All in all I'd say this is a good entry by Kamichichi. Also layla's route is ASS, stay away! We don't save hos.

I'll keep this short. I played the original Apostle and looked forward to this. The heroines are really great, vary nicely in design just like the original and animations are well done. Worst thing about it is the maps are horrible and maybe my tastes have changed but I cannot stand the monotony of the combat in this genre anymore. I wish there was an autoskip for the enemies in the dungeon crawling sections because you can't run around without random encounters. At least you get the option to skip the majority of it but what a headache they are.

Here is my suggestion, use cheats to buff your stats to max and get as much money as the game allows. Saveeditonline for the uninformed. Give a middle finger to all the grindy bullshit that you'd typically find in a RPGM game. With that, enjoy the story and progression with each girl. Awful maps aside to run around in, the setting is kinda cool. There's a lot of girls with adult content and the game is nearly as straight forward as pressing a button to teleport to that girl in order to interact with them. There's side characters and pay to fuck virtual girls apart from the main heroines. It's actually really good if you play it the right way.

Barely worth the time took about 15h while doing everything in the game. I really hated Layla's arc . Otherwise the scenes were at best meh the art is good but for an almost 4gb game animations were pathetic. Storywise idc. If you really want to sink some time into a porn game with a shitton of (fortunately) skippable battles and some minigames/side quests (no porn content from side quests felt like shit) then feel free to do so. I would not replay this ever.

4/5 Good Game but not Excellent, it is really well made but a lot of thing fall short, this is a review I made after finishing the game and unlocking all the scene.

First of all, 1 playthrough is enough to unlock everything ( but have to use save editor to gain extra WP ), that's so good, I remember back in Apostle 1 you have to fight the boss again and again to see different heroine ending.

Next, the map, I have a book next to me marking the map layout, what that mean is that the MAP is way too big and they should make a mini-map or some sort within the game itself.
Also there is one stupid area with tons of NPC and it is so lag that I feel anxious whenever I step into that place.
Now if it's a one time thing then it's not a big deal, but it's not, and the next thing is why.

Side Mission. Although it's a side mission that you can skip, you're pretty much mandatory to do them because it reward you WP, which is use to date the girl, so unless you want to ignore the Hentai/Character Story part of this game you have to do them.
And there is zero indicator to whether there is a Side Mission somewhere.
The area that has nothing before might suddenly have a Side Mission available after you finish next story dungeon. This mean you have to explore every corner of the map every time you made progress on main story if you don't want to miss anything. Combine this with big map you got yourself a huge time waster.
The solution is 1. Just look for a guide or 2. Wait until the last "free time" and then start exploring.
Problem with 1. is that most people don't use guide on 1st playthrough. Problem with 2. is that if you do all of them at the same time it make you feel disconnected with the story. And probably some mission might have timing?

Alright next we move into the combat part.
I like the encounter system, you can straight out decide not to fight, sweet.
Thing is fine at the early game, but as you reach middle-late game, you start spamming stronger move, which they have long-animation you have to watch through each time and it will become really annoying, you have the option to fast-forward animation but not skip them, and fast-forward also make your game laggy.
The enemy power spike between each dungeon is also quite huge, it could be walk in the park at last dungeon, and then the next dungeon you have to proceed at lower difficulty because they're too fast and can wipe your team.
But there is some broken thing you can use to make the game significantly easier.
1. Buy Gacha and sell those card, you earn back ton's of money.
2. Make food to boost stats with those money, the most OP food is one from side mission "soup fried rice". +2 ATK to ALL for measly 1100 gid.
3. Fuyune is broken as fuck, she has the highest speed and one of her skill force enemy into guarding and cancel all action. This work on every boss and cost SP instead of TP. So she can basically stun-lock the boss forever.
4. Avila is a great grinding spot, she drop yearning which double exp gain, put 2 of those on a single character and then fight Avila on Hell difficulty (easy to do with Fuyune guard-lock), and watch your character gain 10+ level each fight.

Lastly the hentai part, I love it but I think there is way too much 45 degree missionary pose variant ? It's like whenever they're fucking it's always the same position with same angle. I like the Bunny with Chloe though.

Good game, enjoyable.

good art good game play good story but its hard but its hard to fap to due to the fact many of the scenes are too far apart.

and many of the scenes are from different games put into this game so this gets a 3/5

I'm going to mainly be critiquing with regards to kamichichi's other work and his development over the years. To the uninitiated, this game is definitely good, and you should play it along with his other games. Definitely some of the best stuff I've found over the past few years. What follows will mainly sound negative, but I do stand by my 4-star rating. The combat, animations, graphics, map, story-line, etc. etc. is all above and beyond most other games, especially on the RPGM engine.

The new Apostle has shattered expectations following the first game and his unrelated recent project, Island SAGA in ways both positive and negative. In terms of its scale as well as its animations, this sequel is definitely an improvement on the original. However, there is a good bit that has been lost in that improvement that I hope kamichichi learns from going forward. It seems like there was plenty of time dedicated to the smallest of details some places where there was clearly attention needed elsewhere for much greater impact. For one, the pacing of the game is awful. The beginning and the end are crammed with content while the middle of the game is not only grind-y in terms of combat, which I'm not usually one to complain about, but in terms of narrative or structure. You just kinda float around this huge, simultaneously empty and full world, sidequesting primarily non-combat missions and minigames for WP which you use on a sex scene. For context, I grinded a decent amount and almost all of my AP for skill upgrades came in the last hour of playtime. There's hardly any time spent with the girls in the middle part of the game outside of the Rush Ball game which requires you to single out one girl and bits of the main plot which are too sparse and/or shallow when they do arise. Related to this, the writing is, at times, laughably terrible. I understand that the plot of getting 5-10 attractive women to all simultaneously fall in love with you while saving the world within a relatively short period of time requires some degree of incredulity, but I'm not even just referring to the romantic dialogue (though that requires a good bit of work as well.) One example that sticks out to me at the time of writing this is the moment with Mario towards the end which could've had a lot more impact, but the writing was awful. IIRC some character literally said, "Wow! I am so sad now!" or something along those lines. Partially due to the fact that there is too little bonding/deep plot/combat with the girls in the middle of the game, the advances made with the girls seems jarring and ridiculous at times. The characters do, of course, mostly already know eachother, and some have liked MC before the game even starts, but there's not nearly enough buildup with most of the girls or even details about these past encounters outside of vague allusions -- a few decent flashbacks would've been great. I don't mean, by the way, that they should start off blowing you before they fuck you or whatever, like so many other games, which I always thought was weird. I just mean that the way they talk to you should more fluidly develop over the course of an increased number of missions (which would also decrease the need to grind the same Meggido over and over, though the side missions to retrieve things in them was a smooth way to ameliorate that). A minor point to add is that I wish there were a bit more complexity to the themes in this game. As another user pointed out, its pretty cut and dry on being simply GOOD VS EVIL. Given the references to mystical spirituality, and the role of the Kabbalah or Tree of Life in the end, you would expect a more nuanced interplay of these themes, although MC's Nature vs Nurture conflict was cool and unexpected. On top of this, the translation, which took over a year to be completed, still contained a noticeable number of errors and it leads me to believe that perhaps the dialogue is not so bad in some bits but was merely translated poorly. Lastly, the game is pretty unoptimized. I'm not sure how much is actually possible in RPGM, but the high graphical content makes it so that missed inputs or frameskips are practically inescapable in some areas and during some events. This makes the exploration that this game should be encouraging (given the lack of structure towards the middle) a bit frustrating. I'm sure that this is a primary motivation for kamichichi moving to the Unity engine moving forward. The hype and the potential of this game was definitely squandered in a plethora of ways, but this overall still came out as a pretty good game which I think was a necessary step for the betterment of future releases.

This is a case where the sequel is not better than the first one. While it is good that you get to interact with the girls early on it is also a detriment as what made the first one great was that you get to interact with each girl and get to take them out on a date making it more personal and worth going for another playthrough. Another is removing the repeatable H-scene that could have been given two the other ladies such as the Ramen girl and the first girl the MC slept with a similar mechanic as giving your Bronz or Silve soul to make materials. Could have expanded the world more and maybe had more of the previous characters' reference in the story not just a one-off from the previous heroine. The game overall is still good and scene are great but it feels rush and with more potential that should have been realized but not

I have been playing most (if not all) kamichichi game. so here is my verdict about this game.
positive:
1. As far as i understand this game like its predecessor is intended to be RPG first, porn second. The RPG element and its story is the main attraction while porn is the reward. So people whose only intend is to see porn and jacking off will be very dissapointed of this game.
2. Be mindful, this is an RPG Maker game. RPG Maker will always inferior compared to more complex game engine. But i will admit, Kamichichi really polish this game way more than this engine capable of doing. There are at least some hints of hardwork poured into this game (not your typical RPG maker porn game - i'm talking to you MTL game)
3. The porn scene actually getting better for each game. and i'm very positive in their future game, they will only get better.

negative:
1. I hate how fricking big the city is. Not only that, the lag kills my interest to explore the city. And the worst part is, many part of the city serve little to no purpose whatsoever.
2. The dungeons are quite confusing at times. And there is no clear indicitation toward the entrance to other part of dungeon. There should be a highlight or a symbol that indicate an entrance or exit.
3. Some of the relationship advancement missions are quite confusing too. i wish there is some note which help us to know what the next object is for the advancement.
4. Some bugs obviously (some are fixed through newer patch though)
5. And othe things that i forgot to mention while playing the game.

I won't say anything for the plot or the story since it's pretty much a porn game afterall. I didn't expect it to be good nor bad, but i'm actually glad that there are still some connection from the first Apostle game.

tl;dr - Overall, i give it 4 since it's my appreciation to Kamichichi effort to make an RPG Maker game with better quality than it originally should. Eventhough there are still things that need to be fixed, i hope their next game will be better than this one.

Good tits and animation kamichichi is god tier when its come to making the most beautiful tits please continue making this kind of games and i hope in your future project theres more scene for each fuckable big tits girl

Story wise its like one giant anime cliché which is pretty bad but even worse are the parts that could be right out of a kids cartoon(friendship/teamwork island), apart from that the story is very basic as in good guy meets other good guys they fight bad guys with no twists or turns its really that simple.

While the story is a let down the characters are a bigger let down, first off they dont act like you would expect people in that type of situation to, yes its an adult game so of course its not going to be completly realistic but the characters seriousness should at least match the seriousness of the story(given the losses the cast suffer they dont morn at all instead they are always chearful), and then there are the parts where the characters act like they could be right out of a cheezy porn film(titfucking is a totally standard medical procedure right?).

Also sadly you have no control not only over who the MC has sex with outside the main girls which for a RPG game where sex is not required(i.e. he dosent power up through sex or something like that) it is quite poor but even worse is the lack of story options, the story cant be directed so the options are choose the girl ones only and also several times it will use the belief that rape is ok as long as the body gets aroused(a big turn off for me).

Add to this a very very small amount of sex scenes for a game this long and it barely deserves 1 star.

Story 1/5 (good vs bad)
Sex 1/5 (tiny part of the game)
Characters 1/5 (pretty bad and unrealistic)
Art 2/5 (ok at best)
Choices 1/5 (pick the girl)
Kinks 0/5 (none that i noticed)

The cyberpunk 2077 of hentai games...(but actually good)
Ok I'll be honest they did fuck up the difficulty curve and leveling, but it is still an excellent game with a unique exploration search element, especially the world building, one of the best cyberpunk environment I have ever seen
And the H-scenes? fantastic, gorgeous and rewarding, 10/10 great fap material
Only problem I have is the difficulty spike late game and the game being too short, side quests are pretty interesting, wish there were more
I say great love were poured in creating this game

This Game has a Main story with sidequests. Sidequests are necessary because you earn wp and with it you can bond with your fav waifu(s) for some sexy time.
The Soundtrack was surprisinlgy good. It's definitely not some genereric musictrack because i never heard it in another RPGm i've played.
The characters and the art are definitely the strength of this game: cute and lovely girls with hot scenes and fully animated!

Porn games like this one are what make me excited to keep playing games in RPGM. This game is by no means perfect, but it has everything I could ask for from a RPGM game. This is an example of a game that put gameplay first while not forgetting that this is a porn game.

First of all, the art is very good. It also has solid animation which I always count as a win. The scenes are well done, and there is a large variety of fetishes. There are quite a few throughout the game, but it expands what the game is able to include by letting the player find these "hidden" brothels where you basically just pay for a sex scene in a different universe. They are pretty easy to find.

Character and writing are decent. I never care too much about the writing unless it is really bad or really funny. Each character has their own events that can get you invested in them for the sex scenes. They are optional, so you don't have to interact with them, but that is most of the character development. This part was never really my forte, but you'd probably enjoy it if it's up your alley.

Lastly, the gameplay is like a custom-made RPG rather than an RPGM game. One thing that I really like is when games like these change the mechanics of RPGM to be unique in their own game. The game adds some additional mechanics to make the combat more strategic. Things like:

• each enemy having multiple weaknesses
• stunning enemies if you hit one of their weaknesses enough times
• Chaining attacks together to do additional damage
• Swapping out characters mid-combat

I will admit, none of these mechanics are new or unheard of, but they change up the flow of combat and can let you actually strategize more than a regular RPGM game.

I have some minor complaints, but the only major complaint that I have for this game is the length. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. It does take some time to progress through the story to get to the scenes with the main cast. Also since there is no map of the city, it is easy to wander around and waste time. If you don't enjoy the mechanics of the game, I would understand if you drop it before it gets good, but I think the game stands on its own enough to make it through the length.

I am not at all saying this is a perfect game, but it does deliver on everything I look for when searching for an RPGM game.

5/5 for sure

Amazing game i would have done 5 stars if one of the area's of the game map wasn't heavy on lag in some spots but other then that i enjoy it and i love the throw back to the first game that gets shown other. oh i also like the design for the characters very lovely and nice

Game sets you up like it's second coming of cyberpunk, and then best scene in entire game.

You protagonist railing some chick with the most boring romantic cringe out of place, vomit inducing melodic background elevator music you'll ever experience in your entire fucking life.

If you don't rage quit by that point, I congratulate you. You are superior being to me.

EDIT- Also expect asset recycle from past games. EVERYWHERE and in EACH SCENE.
-------------------------------------
EDIT AGAIN!

After playing this game for 8 hours, gonna give final impression.
If I could give it a zero. I'd would.

Huge ass world, where you walk around with tons of pointless NPCs and places that are there for the sake of being there. Alot of maps don't have reason to exist other for transition, like subway map. But hey, immersion, am I right?
Speaking of immersion, get ready to be bamboozled by the background music. Dystopian cyberpunk city with elevator music.

Story and setting is interesting, has potential , but fails miserably. You'll end up CTRL everything.

Speaking of CTRL. If you do that while talking with random NPCs in order to get stupid and pointless rewards (and one important thing call WP which you use to basically fill hearts with main story girls, which on it's own, is limited), and accidentally skip reading what you suppose to do. WELL GOOD LUCK, you just softlock your ass. I pray your save wasn't that far away.

Everything else is standard RPGmaker game with custom made UI for extra fancy and hollow experience.

Hentai game this one. Im gonna be honest with you. BEFORE PLAYING THIS GAME. Just check gallery. And be AMAZED. YES! ALL scenes are there, all 20 of them locked ofc.. And if you want to grind for 30 hours playing this boring bloated carcass with cooking mini game. Be my guess.
AND for final coup de coeur. You have 10 girls with scenes there from past kagura games shoved in to fill in that empty void this trash has.

0/10

Vibes of oldscool cyberpunk anime from the '90s. Given the technical capabilities of an engine such as the rpg maker, everything is done very well. (In some places there is a drop in fps.) Uncensored sex scenes. Original art, Animated sprites (just wow). The battles are not too bad. The game's interface is well done. The same goes for the storyline - it's not a masterpiece, but I can't call it bad.
