RPGM - Completed - Ayame of the Night Shadow [v1.12] [coolsister]

2.5/5

By the time you read this sentence, the game is already over, which pretty much kills all enjoyment.
Combat is surprisingly good for an RPG Maker game by having (easy) QTE's.
The artstyle is great, and Ayame herself looks cute.
However, it's simply too short. I thought that the final boss was simply another dungeon boss until the actual fight.

its good game, too bad felt too short. i feels like the scene could be more but i guess this is their old games. their next game is really good, i hope they keep up making games like these. especially giving player much of an option to choose for ending and partner

It's alright. Honestly though I expected a bit more than that.

I think the battle system is a bit weak. It tries to add a bit more by introducing "states" that multiplies damage dealt (red is highest, good vs purple, and blue. Purple is second, good vs blue. Blue lowest), but it doesn't really impact the damage all that much. There's a bit of a difficulty spike at the final boss, but all of the bosses are basically damage races anyway, so it's not bad. To be honest I think it's just a short game.

Story is fine. Not really that interesting, imo. Just a shrine maiden with a katana sealing demons, basically. I don't really care about the other characters, but at the same time I think the combat and short length makes it a lot more tolerable.

What is really disappointing is the lack of H-scenes. I guess it's appropriate for a small H-game to not have a lot of it, but most of it's just kinda standard. I really wish the lewdness would have more of an impact, though. The fact that the monsters are one and done with no lewd variations is disappointing.

Overall, it's ok. Could use more monster H-scenes, especially lewd variants of it.

It's a decent RPGM game, interesting battle system and decent CGs. Where I didn't enjoy myself as much was the lack of consistency in translating place names amongst other stuff.

For those who struggle to figure it out, it's I- Ro- Ha- Ni. and the four candles are in the north, east and south of the complex. Follow the edges until you find the entrances.

Ok, I really like it. It isn't like the normal RPGM shovel ware, I'd even call it a labor of love in some ways. The mechanics are sufficiently innovative and the writing isn't blatantly arbitrary like it usually is in Japanese games.

It isn't a huge game and there's some consistency errors in the corruption, but all in all it is handled well enough. Also the art is really nice in this one.
Combat is quick and easy once you learn it, the maps aren't oversized or empty and the world (city) feels lively. In that sense, it is about as competent as RPGM games can get.

There is also some pregnancy content (not just endings) and you can collect different clothing sets. There's also a combat mechanic associated with clothes in general. Nice.

If you are looking for a classic corruption game, you can go much worse than this.
