RPGM - Completed - Avaria: Chains of Lust [Day 1] [Panic Machine/Critical Bliss]

A truly bad game. There are legit no sex interactions during battle, which btw is incredibly redundant as all the enemies have the same attacks (without animations) which you can sustain by spamming guard to regain more hp than the damage they deal. You can't possibly lose a fight, which means that there is no gratification in playing the game and even if you were to lose you'd see a black screen with the words "game over". The game is very bugged, side quests at times don't even end and the whole game is just the main character telling you were to go, speak to this guy, look at a 3 picture sex event (which is not even animated) and go back spamming your "attack - guard" sequence so that you can unlock the next section of the game which is exactly as bad as the previous one. Truly wasted potential, considering that the main character's arts are quite good.

-It's not glitchy.
-He has good art.
-The story is average.
-A simple combat but that becomes stressful the more life and damage the enemies have, not because it becomes more difficult, but because of how long the battles become.

a total waste of amazing art. The map is big with many dead ends, takes too much time to explore with less reward, and at the same time, it's dark. Players cant escape from the fights, but moving is slow, making it hard to avoid monsters, at the same time, fighting mechanics are boring, and fight animation is slow.

the art is great and the gameplay takes some getting used to. the writing is acceptable but the worst thing about it is that it's ridden with game breaking bugs. if you don't follow some sort of guide, probably, that tells you how to do everything to avoid glitching the game, you're bound to run into a gamebreaking bug that will make you reload or even restart if you didn't plan your saves accordingly

Combat is ridiculous. Attacks land maybe 70% of the time and leveling up and "upgrading" your weapon does next to nothing to help. Overall, hella frustrating and not worth the erotic scenes of the game, would not recommend

Let me explain why I believe this game deserves a three star

Pros:

.- One of the biggest pros of this game is, the art style. The artist that was in charge of artwork for this game is very skilled and did an amazing job with the character designs. Although I do have to point out that, while the characters look sublime, the male designs are always the exact same. They're re-used for every single male NPC you find out there and that made me enjoy the sex scenes a little bit less. Would've liked a little more variety in that regard, but overall art is spectacular.

.- Upgrades:

I did find quite interesting the way you upgrade your armor in this game. It doesn't have a clothing system per se, but it does have an interesting way of upgrading your armor.. which then increases your stats

I do have to add that it would've been a good idea if the creator for this game allowed players to respec, what I mean by this is, taking out the upgrades you already have and switch them for others. Could've made it a little more interesting and give a little freedom for players to try out different builds.

.- Grinding:

I haven't exactly found this game particularly grindy as some of the other people here have mentioned. I managed to go through the game rather easily, without having to level up much. I did receive high damage by some enemies but potions helped me deal with them just fine

.- Story:

I found myself interested in the story that was being given. While there isn't really much of it, and the characters do not really have much depth into them, I did want to know more about what was happening in that world... why exactly the character we play as's uncle wants to be the head of the family and what exactly his plans are. The assassin and the other person which appeared after the ending were also quite mysterious and I did want to know more about them.. the scientific which wanted to get out of that place also striked me.

Again, characters could've used some more depth but overall I think the story was somewhat decent.

Oh, and I forgot to mention something important as well and that is, how you get the scenes in this game. It's through in-game quests with NPC's, while I feel like they're not the most polished ones out there and lack character & depth, I am thankful for the fact that you don't need to purposely lose in order to get the CG scenes. It makes it, somewhat of an incentive to try and pursue certain quests of a character from your liking and then receiving the naughty rewards as you finish them, it's much more fun - interactive and immersive that way

Cons:

.- Sex scenes:

It goes in hand a little bit with what I previously said about male characters looking the same for every NPC you can meet out there. At the beginning, it felt like the sex scenes were rather unique, but as I got through the game I found them out to be quite repetitive. It reached a point where there wasn't really anything new in regards to the sex scenes, very few of them actually had something fresh to offer.

Also, to add more to this, sex scenes were rather on the short side of things. Writing wasn't all that great, I'd say.. it was decent but it didn't blow my socks off, so to speak. By the time I was somewhat getting into the groove of the scenes, the characters would already be climaxing.. which was a little off putting. It would've been better if perhaps there were less scenes, but more unique ones.

What I mean by this is that sex scenes could've been less, less repetitive (be designed in a way that they were different from each other, and there's a lot of things they could've done which involved the environment the characters were positioned in) and be prolonged a little bit more.. written accordingly

.- Quests:

I found quests in this game to be rather bothersome. There was a lot of back and forth regarding quests, and while the rewards you received for doing said quests were somewhat decent, I still think they weren't enough. The sidequests were quite annoying to do and as I said, while the rewards were somewhat good.. the effort to do those quests and the subsequent sex scene (which has problems as I previously mentioned) weren't worth it.

.- Corruption aspect:

To be honest, this might be one of the weakest sides of the game. I think this because, I personally never really felt like I was getting corrupted up until Amelie says that she's sorry, when Seymour and her are in the character's room at the inn. There wasn't really any indication of the character getting corrupted, even after doing a couple side quests which ended sexually.

I have heard people here talk about values for corruption, never even found those myself or noticed them.

Another thing about the corruption aspect that I don't like is that it feels somewhat forced upon the player, it doesn't really follow an exact route.. it's what it's all about, and you don't really have any way to choose not to go along with it. True, the character doesn't really want to go along with it and wants Freed to pay, she says it herself, but.. you still have to go along with Freed's whims in order to further progress.

It would've been interesting if corruption took a different approach on this one, could've probably made a lot of the events that happen once his uncle reveals himself to be the "headmaster" a lot more meaningful and impactful. Hell, it could've overall made corruption a lot more interesting.

.- Lastly, bugs:

While I didn't encounter many of these, I have found quite a few and they kind of interrupted the flow of the game and made it a little annoying to start again. Some of those bugs literally prevented you from moving in any possible direction, and even saving & loading back in would not help.. you literally have to load up an old save file and start whatever you were doing at that point again. There were also some gallery bugs, some scenes weren't really showing despite me doing them.. there seems to be some scenes in the game during the night time that, kind of are in the game but there is no way to achieve them?

While they don't completely ruin out the experience, they can be a pain.

I also want to point out one last thing, while the game may look like it's a finished product, it's not by any means.. there's way too many plot holes and things, especially the ending, which indicates that the game might get expanded upon in the future. There is no guarantee of this of course, but maybe hopefully there's some new stuff regarding this game in the future. According to the description, Amelie is going to have quite a lot more scenes, fixes to the performance which I did notice quite a lot while I played.. sometimes your FPS's would drop while sprinting quite considerably no matter the area

So, yeah.. to end this, I would like to say:

If you're looking to get invested into this game, then I suggest looking for other ones as this game doesn't really have much to offer. It does it's job if you play this for the sexual content though, you can get a few nice faps out of it but that's pretty much it.

The version I played is the latest one posted on this site.

Cheers!

It is the quality of the art that makes this game.

- Pro:

- Uncensored, high quality art
- MC gets corrupted, though with limited effect
- Clear what to do, where to go, whom to speak to

- Con:

- Very very very annoying fights and grind (even with help from save editor), with no sex in battle or after battle
- Though submission and humiliation feature in the game, it all feels a bit tame and vanilla; she becomes a slut because of some magic/drug
- Relatively short with a lot of scenes being re used

2 stars for the gameplay. 5 stars for the art.

Version: Day 1

Its a pretty basic and buggy RPGM game. Three times the game crashed and on certain map areas the game becomes very laggy for some odd reason. Considering the fact that making an unstable RPGM is actually pretty hard, i intentionally point that out to shame this.
The best thing about this game is the art, whoever draws this shit needs some praise thrown in their general direction. But although the art is great, there isnt that much of it, several scenes simply repeat themselfs with the same images but different text.
The gameplay itself is painfully basic, it works, but i didnt really enjoy it because of how linear it is.
At the very least the game doesnt drag itself out to waste your time. Its a short and quick game, you are able to finish this game in like 3~ hours.

The art by itself is the only reason i give this game an average rating, its the MVP of the whole game.

Overall a decent game with nice art and story but to much grind and repetitive combat. If you really like rpgm games you should try this one. It got me almost 5h to end so its rather a short one. Save often and dont waste your time on exploring, you can skip some fights too if it gets boring.

Ehh... I didn't like it honestly I mean this is a game where I think that "if" you had to play it then play it for the story. Even though there isn't much of a story its still better then the rest of the game.

The art is good don't get me wrong but there is very little of it and its not like its actually super great. What really brings this game down though is the amount of grinding you need to do. There is just way to much grinding for the art. If the art was better then the grinding wouldn't be so bad or the grinding needs to be less for the quality of the art. (This is assuming you were gonna play the game without cheats.)

The is okay if you use cheats to get past all the grinding. I would only recommend playing it if you can use cheats.

Release version

Recommendation level: Only if you cheat

++ Great artwork
+ Decent Writing

-- Very grindy
-- Basic Combat
- Scenes tied to progression
- Using many tropes

Comment: I will only recommend this game if you use a save editor because it is very grindy. The combat is nothing out of the ordinary, when you add combat to your game you need to make something interesting out of it rather than just slap the template given to you by the engine. The only upside to this game is the art and writing.

(Just finished the story)
I quite enjoyed the game despite not being a fan of RPGM games, the story was decent and the art was great, I enjoyed the combat although it is the standard fare.

There were only a couple of negatives imo, 1 being the amount of missed attacks, approx 15-20% of all attacks have a chance to miss, and also sometimes targetting the enemy I wanted to was impossible for some reason, but nothing that drags down the score from 5 stars.

I would recommend playing this game, but be prepared to wait a couple of hours before the porn content appears, also two bits of advice, don't use the agi scrolls they are terrible, and guard is great, reduces phys and magic damage received by 50% and heals for 15% of max HP at the end of the turn for free

My scoring & reviews explained HERE

PROs:
+a bit more unique artstyle, fairy hot
+scenes are quite hot
+partially solid story setting
+gallery room with unlocking tips for post-game hunting
+no scenes from losing (love that)
+acceptable amount of scenes
+teleports between areas

CONs:
-tease cliffhanger ending
-way too steep corruption steps
-enemies re spawn without room switch, tedious to constantly avoid them
-not much variety for scenes though

Comments:
I mean.. I liked the art, scenes were hot, had solid straightforward context for setting & story. A stuckup bitch corruption, solid combo.

My main issue with the game was that corruption tiers/steps were too steep that kinda lost the purpose of the "corruption" as genre. It's more of a stuck up whore, discovering what a slut she is with a little help.

Gameplay did annoy a bit me as well, i don't like in RPGmaker games that enemies re-spawn without room change. It makes rather obnoxious if you quickly want get from point A to B, but thankfully game had teleporting.

So overall it was almost a good game. It's good enough to recommend.

6/10

I so wanted to like this game. It really had everything it needed to make a good RPG Maker game:

• Good Art
• Good language skills
• Decent maps
• Time system
• Quest system
• Gallery

But then it mucks it up with quest bugs and event loops, Quest descriptions that are not adequate to figure out specifically what you are trying to do, and no hints in the gallery for how to get completeness.. The time system is very inconsistent considering how simple it is and a lot of activity in the town I didn't discover until the game was over and I still wasn't able to decipher all of it.

If you look through the rest of the reviews, you see consistent complaints about the grindiness and the lack of creativity in story. Add to this battle enhancements that just add additional wasted time to every battle and it's easy to walk away from this one.

The story is so weak and the hentai so unoriginal, it is a terrible reward to such grindy combat. The grind does pay off and you can be pretty lethal by the end, but you can't enjoy it when every battle is so painfully long.

In the end, I wish I hadn't spent the time when so many other games are out there.

First of all graphics are awesome and the story is complete. Considering the price qand graphic quality it's a 5/5. I want more game like this.

So to sum up this is a RPGM game about a beautifull women betrayed by their uncle and becoming more and more corrupted.

By ruching the game you can see everything in about 3H.

Pros :
- Graphics +++
- Story clean and interresting
- Quest system, you clearly understand what you have to do

Cons :
- Boring battle system (I cheat to win quickly all battle), I prefer more dynamic battle system where you donc have the turn by turn
- No map of mines so I often gest lost
- Few choice to make, you feel on a track
- Few bugs (never seen a game without bug so nothinbg to worry about)

This is fresh air in this kind of game.

Uff this is so sad that i have to make this kinda rating...

Pros:
+ graphics / really good drawn
+ curvy girls and curvy protag
+ female protag
+ i like the voiceover really much
+ nice idea with the weapon upgrade and the skills to learn
+ detailed mini chars
+ really good english!
+ no new but solid story
(+ you can escape fights - more or less)

Now you may ask by so many pros why still such a bad rating? well:

Cons:
- enemies are too quickly too strong
- too many powerattacks - you simply cant heal against it..
- even speels cost a bit too much - except for the fire bolt
- about 20 - 30 min ingame and she already starts getting groped and kissed?! really.
- i hate that hentai-game style during "sex" scenes where you can't see the hole scene,
- male chars you interact with have no personality in looks
- actions are just showed with some hand groping her ass without - again - seeing the hole action
- during action goblins are just recoloured humans
- goblins look too muscular and strong
- exhausting fights (i know i repeat myself)
- mini quests are superfluous imo
- enemies respawn? and far too quick


- > too grindy, too much fights, too uncharacteristic, bland sex scenes without showing the full scenes even the girl looks GREAT and the artstyle also

if you like this hentai game themed style were you cant see the male part fully and you get characterless, copypasted faces of the creatures and guys and you like exhausting fights with too many far too quick respawning enemies - and also too strong enemies far too early this might be for you.

if you like fem protags who look sexy and curvy like this girl does, but also like real sex scenes where you can see the hole action and the different types of guys - which look more or less unique, and you don't like to fight 30 minutes the same enemies to get at a decent lvl to progess in story and fighter stronger - still overpowered enemies. this game sadly isn't for you.


i more or less hate combat in a porn game - especially if it has a too big weight. and i hate half assed sex scenes with no character in it. these to points destroy the game already for me.

but the two points are simply primary because of the well done visual quality, and the lovely, very pleasing curvy girls and fem protag. which really are right up my alley

So sad... had the portential to be a better Claire's Quest and to be the best "princess zelda" type of princess protag game in a cruel world...

Had to submit a review to help counteract the really low ratings here.

While it's true that the game is fairly run of the mill, the art is phenomenal even if there are several CG's that get reused quite a bit.

At its core this game is pretty much standard RPGM fare. Naive protagonist gets put in a situation where she slowly becomes corrupted and by the end of the game she's allowing just about everyone to do whatever they want with her.

Is the combat grindy? Yes, it is. But having said that, you have a 100% chance of escaping from every fight with trash mobs, and the bosses for each area are only *slightly* more powerful than the trash mobs themselves. You get the same average amount of experience from the beginning goblin fights as you do with enemies toward the end of the game, so there's really no benefit in grinding up past level 10 or 11 or so.

In some ways I actually enjoyed the modicum of challenge that combat presented simply because it required more than just having an upleveled hero, but the reliance on potions can't be ignored. However, it's interesting to note that the way the developers balanced this was to make the most powerful potions not only cheap, but also cheaper than the medium tier ones (for example: heavy healing potions cost 75g each, medium healing potions cost 150g, and light healing potions cost 50g -- so there's no reason to buy anything other than the best).

Once you realize that most combat can be skipped by avoiding enemies and choosing "Escape" if you get into a fight accidentally, the game becomes much less grindy and it becomes really easy to speedrun through the dungeon crawling and get back to the corruption and lewd scenes.

My advice? Spend 10-15 minutes killing goblins and resting at the inn in the beginning until you get to level 10, and then just avoid/ignore combat as much as possible.

Aside from the combat, the good stuff here comes from the quality art and the attitude of the MC. I found the scenes to be fairly stereotypical, standard RPGM stuff like working in the bar/brothel and getting harassed while doing tasks for people around town. CG's are reused between different characters but there are a lot of other extremely popular RPGM games that do this and also do it well--the differences come from the way each scene is written and I think the writer handled this pretty well.

Overall, there are things I would have liked to see improved with this game but don't let the really negative reviews chase you away from this game. It's absolutely worth putting your time in to if you have a little patience for somewhat pointless (but mostly skippable) combat, and you enjoy corruption. I think the main reason people were so disappointed is because they saw the amazing art and it set their expectations too high.

Treat this as a standard, cookie-cutter RPGM corruption game, but with exceptional art. That's why it gets 4 stars from me.

EDIT: Oh, and SAVE OFTEN. This needs to be said. When you're in the dungeons, save before every fight. There is no GOR in this game so when you die during a fight, it is literally game over and you are sent back to the main menu. So save either before or after every fight.

At first glance this looked like a good game, but it's just so empty and slow.

The only good thing about this game is the art, it's really good and I am a really big fan of it. But this is a "game" after all, and the gameplay is the most important thing and it's sooooo slow.

All you fight in the beginning are goblins and it shouldn't take as long as it does to kill just one. You press your attack, the animations come on, and then it takes 2 secs before the damages are displayed and the same for the enemies. This wouldn't be a problem if there were different enemies or if you had party members but when you are only one with one single attack vs the same enemy, it becomes boring so fast.

I think the game itself would be so much better if the speed of the battle was just twice as fast. That would improve the experience so much.

The graphics are beautiful. I wish the change of clothes was added to other scenes. I liked the main female character, but pregnancy is missing.Also combat sex scenes. All good. One of the best games I've seen in 2020.

No choices/decisions during side missions
Every death i game over i would prefer some kind of corruption stat to be raised after failure
I would prefer it on Ren-py engine if it will stay in a current versions i waste time in not good balanced fights to push forward a plot and stay alive
