RPGM - Completed - Black Souls [2025-08-15] [Eeny, meeny, miny, moe?]

This game art is kinda meh, but if you already finished it, you know you come for the hentai and stay for the plot.
The plot of this game is Hans Andersen's wet dream, every fairy tales of his is living in the same world, and all of the it is either bleak or dark as fuck. Except 5 of the important NPC that is not inspired by his fairy tales, they got lucky and can have happy ending or living a kind of happy life (before their death that is). And of course this game have a god fight too like in every J RPG, this world is also fake and gay.
I like how Red Hood in their previous game make a cameo in this game. Its kinda explain why she got bored of normal human/undead dick. Compared to what she have been through, your just like a minor inconvenience in her daily life.
At the current time of this review, Black Souls english(that only show up on the JP side of the site FOR SOME REASON) only sold 18 copies, compared to the OG one which sold 11827 copies. So don't get your hope up for a Black Souls 2 English release yet since the sale is too low. But the OG version came out 2 years ago, so maybe the sales figure of the english version will improve, maybe.

This game is really deceiving. On the surface, the art is pretty mediocre and the gameplay is the same repetitive grinding common to most RPGM. Even despite these shortcomings, this game has a single element that a ton of RPGM games fail to deliver: the story.

The game draws on classic fairy tales to build a dark and bleak world. Even if you were to take out the sex, this game stands out on merit of your journey through it. It really tries to go for the "dark" feeling in Dark Souls and executes it well, pulling you in.

Definitely worth a try

This game is one of those games that looks like sh*t but it's a rare gem.
It has good leveling system. Really balanced(?) difficulty settings. It gets a little annoying on 9 difficulty because I always die (gitgudnub) It gets really dark (did u even read da title?) so if you dont want dark stuffs this is not for you.
Edit: one other downside is that it gets a little buggy sometimes like being unable to finish a quest

This game is dark and it doesn't care about your feelings.

you are in a destroyed world, and you can choose to be the last hope or the one that will be the end of it.

seriously this game is good for his story, the gameplay is meh and the gg's are meh too. but I love thoses kind of games, you'll play more for the story and to test yourself.
