RPGM - Completed - Black Souls II [v1.13 Official translation] [Eeny, meeny, miny, moe?]

Black souls, like every being 1 or 2, was a real find among so many games that just stick to the same formula or fail to have a charismatic and well-built world or character.

It also shows that you don't need to be so heavy on files to be good, but one thing that I see that many devs fail at is what they want to deliver with their works, games, etc.

Shocking for the sake of shocking is just something poorly done, but the same is true in reverse and this will always raise the question for even a narrative.

How are you going to make such use of concepts that are already known and how will this be presented, shown or impact the story you create without demonstrating that it is forced there or just because.

Probably the best game I've played off this site

One of the games that you focus more on the story, plot and gameplay over the H-scenes.

Noticeable difference from Black souls 1 in terms of gameplay (no/limited companions), Consumables are also free turns now (along with weapon switching)

Story - 5/5
Gameplay 5/5
Art/Design 5/5 (lindamea ate good)

Have you ever wished for the madness to return and shine even more bright than ever~ ? Here you go then!!!~

- Corpse eating rabbits? Check!~
- Horror themed places? Check!~
- Confusing mechanics and memories with multilayered lore and story? Check!~
- Fetishes that will question your morality and preferences? Absolutely!~

In any case, enjoy your stay and forget about all your worries~
Welcome, to your new home, to your new family~
And be loved by all~
Even if they feel like the same person...
Even if they want to eat, and fuck, and kill, and rape you.
Take it all and give it all, until the end of the end of the world.

I love black souls, this is one of the best games I have ever played. It has complex gameplay, if you like high challenges then you can absolutely choose the highest difficulty level and not level up and you can still win? The characters have a lot of diversity, although I wish they would have more scenes, but for now it's more than enough, and of course the best thing here is the in-depth plot, even after replaying the game 3 times. but there are still many hidden details in the game that I haven't analyzed yet, overall I love Alice
Note: I used Google translate so it might have grammatical errors

Black Souls II isn't just a game, it's an experience. It throws you headfirst into a hauntingly beautiful world, filled with both breathtaking vistas and lurking dangers. The gothic atmosphere is expertly crafted, leaving you constantly on edge, unsure of what horrors might await around the next corner.

One of my favorite games, not only hentai but in general, first with the red hood game, then on Black souls 1 and now with 2, the author has demonstrated his ability to improve by leaps and bounds with each game, I really hope that the author can release the third game soon

Kino game, enjoyed it and loved it fully! Plus, Kino translation too - enjoyed it like BS I if not more, and, to a lesser extent, the spin-off with Red Hood: Red Hood's Woods - can't wait for Dead Red Hood (going to Red Hood) and BS III

Black souls 1 and 2 set an impossibly high standard for RPGM hentai game slop with its story, the art and h-material might not be to everyone's liking, but everything else screams of excellence that puts most novels, books, movies and definitely games, to shame.

There shouldn't be any convincing required to get you to play this, this is simply one of the greatest indie games out there.

I don't post reviews often, but this game is worth it.

This game is, in many ways, exactly what I wish to see in porn games: Something with quality in gameplay and story that rivals, and often surpasses, many safe-for-work titles, and in that regard, Black Souls 2 EXCELS.

The story has you invested easily, with significant inspirations and calls to many authors and pieces of literature you may find interesting, and various characters who it's easy to get invested in.

The combat is enjoyable, and like the actual Souls games, every bit of progress feels significant, even with the game also encapsulating the JRPG feeling of progression.

Expect to play through multiple times, to go back on decisions that you find were mistakes, to seek different routes.

Expect to get stuck on bosses, to struggle often, and to enjoy it, until you get a hold of the game's mechanics.

This game will make you suffer through many methods. And you will love it.



...Oh yeah, the porn? It's there, I guess.

Who ever write the story for this game was a genius,it perfect,gorgeous,sad,sorrow,and a despair feeling when experience this game story is what keeping me to stay back,also the combat system is quite good not even cheat can save you from some of the boss you need to be really experienced to the combat system to win the game amazing combat system,the dev really know how to make you connect with the character you will start to feel sympathy to the main character quite deep,enough to make you cry for his losses and what he been going through

Black Souls 2 is a game that despite some shortcomings got me really invested in some of the characters (Praise Bill) and the story. I played the game with the help of a guide which was a mistake, sure looking up on the forums if you're stuck on something is fine but I feel like I missed out on a lot. I'd pay money to experience the game blind again.

One of the handful adult RPG-maker games where the battles are good, engaging and fun to experiment on.

The game is inspired by darksouls, both in theme and difficulty, so be aware that it isn't for the faint of heart, and specially your initial run of the game can be very rough. But it is very rewarding to farm more EXP and find new weapons and skills to beat a roadblock boss that was being a pain in the ass.

As an adult game, truth is that the weakest part of the game is the adult content itself, which consist mostly of static CG's, drawn in amateur rough style, for all the waifus that you can "collect" during the course of the game. That said, I will admit that the artstyle may grown up on you, and the whole context surrounding the sex scenes might increase their enjoyment for you in particular. It is that kind of thing were it can't be explained properly here through words, you really just have to see it for yourself in-game and then it will be a toss up wheter you'll enjoy the scenes or not.

Notice that all of the highly rated reviews here either don't even mention the adult content, or just mention it in passing, because it honestly becomes a sidelined, forgettable thing. I kinda forgot about the sex scenes and just focused on the gameplay, vibe, story, because it is that good and it carried my playtime. If you're up for some actually good and deep classic RPG combat mechanics, then both Black Souls games (but specially this sequel) are highly recommended.

I'm not going to go into detail since there's a lot more to talk about than BS1. The base game, DLC1, and DLC2 are all perfect. I'd change nothing at all. Keep them as is.

The story is as great as ever, though I liked the more direct and grounded stuff in Black Souls 1. Art has gotten 10 times better, the style we all love is still there plus a lot more polish. The areas are a bit more cluttered but significantly more interconnected. Way more routes to take.

Slight spoilers from here so turn back if you haven't finished everything.

DLC 3 areas kinda suck. The Nursing Graveyard is just generic horror stuff and Winterbell is just out of nowhere. The difficulty would have been fine if: there wasn't a cap on stats, the enemies didn't straight up do %50 hp unavoidable damage, or every boss having specific gimmicks designed to counter every build imaginable.

Of course I cheated my way through all of that starting with Florence. A furry with a gunblade was the final straw. I regret nothing.

I'll keep this review as spoiler free as possible.

// Story
The story is complex, hard to get, and hidden, hence the reference to dark souls in the name. If you start to like this game, you will fall into the rabbit hole (wink).

So much things are well thought out as all the gameplay mechanics have an in-game explanation. NPC's are interesting and some will give a real challenge to discover their story arc or even to be discovered.

// Replayability
Replayability is the way to go, trying different things, finding out about what really is happening and what to do. That also means the first playthrough can be frustrating, as NPC tend to disappear or die without you knowing why, and that was the case for me.
The game really begins when you finished it once, because you will stop discovering the layout of the map, but focus on what yours and the NPC's stories are.

// Difficulty - Gameplay ( and darksouls-ery)
Concerning the difficulty, the game will test you many times. Few would be given to you and if you do not like that, there is a way to grind rapidly to avoid the difficulty.
It is not the way to go though, and the last DLC3 will catch up on you anyway.

Gameplay wise, there is a lot of fun to establish strategies to beat your opponents instead of just grinding and mash one button in the fights.
Contrary to Dark Souls, as this game is made on RPG maker, all buffs/debuffs are displayed to hint you on what to do. Also, the bosses weakness or types are easy to guess.

// Music
The OST (BGM in RPG Maker language) is really cool with some bangers, and all fit really well their environments (except you Infinite Food).

// Art
Maps are well designed with intrisic details, H-scenes have a dedicated style of art, that is the same in BlackSouls. There is so much variety, many zones/biomes and in each of the screens, consistency and details.

// Content
The map is HUGE, many environment, many enemies, many bosses, many objects, many builds possible, ... the content is there, and boy does it gives ! And again, almost everything has a meaning.

When I thought I knew everything and spent some time in the comments, the theories of the players struck me. There were many theories based on details I missed because it was for me just a gameplay/environment element (and also surely because I am french and I can skip details of the english languages), and the consistency tends to make them right.

// Conclusion (finally ?!)
I thought to spend a day or two on that game, and I still today do not stop discovering new things ; even more after spending some time in the japanese wiki. It is not my type to use a translator to decipher a site to uncover what it contains, and the reward was there.

The creator of this game made such an amazing work, it has to be recognized. So like in the golden age of piracy, try it, play it, 100% it, but think that if you want more content like that, and you have some money to spare, think about funding him by paying it.

PS: Notice that I talked about the H part of this H-RPG only once in the review. It is always there, but there is so much beyond that that the game would still have been amazing without (at the loss of some character design, art, and world depiction).

5/5, I strongly recommend playing.

Despite this game being an RPGM, it feels highly developed with a large amount of content. It's art style is unique and caught my attention. It has an open map, multiple endings, with a ton of replayability.

Black Souls is a fairly unknown game, but its fan base, though small in number, are some of the most craziest fanatics for this game. Down right cult-level, actually. And I'm one of them, so obviously I'd be rating this a 5/5.

I also like how the Black Souls community also seem to be huge Tatsuki Fujimoto fans as well. I think Fire Punch does offer some resemblance to Black Souls in terms of story and atmosphere so if you end up liking BS, I'd recommend that as well.

came for the porn stayed for 100% the game, honestly i had begun to get used to most rpg makers game being shoddy good for nothing cg dumps to the point i had forgotten that rpg maker games could, to everyones surprise, be fun.

One of the best rpg games ever. No, one of THE best games of all time. If you're looking for a casual play through and a quick wank then it's not for you. You need dedication to play this and a iron stomach due to its heavy themes and imagery.

This game is so much worse than the first one. At least for me.


There are several things that makes this game bad.
The story seems to be decent like the first one but i dont care cause the game makes it extremely hard to get to any story. If you dont know what youre doing most npcs will die or at the very least you wont be able to progress anymore which existed in the first game aswell but it wasnt that harsh. Also in the first game it was a bit easier to understand the world progression since it is based on fogs cleared that usually indicates a boss fight. In this sequel i dont have a fucking clue if there is something like world progression at all or what it is based on.

Also lets talk about the strength of the enemies. They are overpowered af. If you want to actual fight the enemies you either have to fight every single enemy on your way to collect souls to level up which is tiring since the way is inflated with random placed enemies which respawn after 5 seconds or you grind the shit out of early game enemies. At some point you start ignoring enemies entirely cause if you dont grind you probably fall behind in terms of power. Also the enemies drop way too few souls for my taste which wasnt a problem in the first game.

Also personally the atmosphere of the game is very depressing. Its constantly dark except for some few places and the design of the individual screens feel soulless. Especially the first area which should give the player a taste of the game design is extremely irritating. Randomly placed doors at walls and stuff laying around. Black Souls I had similar areas but it was way later in the game and its purpose was to confuse the player when he finds the optional area. But to make the Wonderland the first area is a complete letdown to the very pretty designed forest of the first game. I dont even understand why they designed the beginning of Black Souls II like this when all they had to do is to make a coherent and logical game start. It felt less irritating for me cause i played the first game but it still is a very bad start for a new story to begin with the randomly disigned wonderland.

Also i dont get the trolls. Why? Why would you create contraptions where you die for the sake of dying? And why can you fall of ledges which are very hard to identify in the first place? These things just worsens the experience of the player when he accidently walked of a ledge cause he didnt know he could fall down there. Especially when it is build in a way that invites you to accidentily run of a higher position cause you run away from enemies which you avoid fighting.

For the h-scenes i guess they got a bit better since the first game had very repetetive stuff while the second one got quite a variety like panty peeking and even the usual rape differs slightly more but i could imagine things at that point. But the real question is is it worth playing just for some lewd artworks? In my opinion no game is worth playing if the gameplay is not captivating enough no matter the h-scenes.

The better question would be would this game have been better if the first game never existed? The short answer is yes. The long answer is that with the knowledge of what is possible and what already existed the game was a very great disappointment to the very much superior Black Souls I. But to be honest i wouldnt even like the game if i never heard of the first one. It is just too damn tiring to play and at some point after several hours i capitulated and began writing this review instead of continuing playing. So i didnt reach any ending but i dont think the endings are so amazing that it makes the game worth playing.



edit: I think Black Souls I is a masterpiece though. You should give it a try if you only played the sequel.

I finished the game at endinG (true end) and end H (hardest end), the rest you can meet in the first play or watch youtube.
The game is very difficult but still can be completed, you go on a journey to collect fairy books and in the journey there will be girls who make a contract and help you. In return, when you play without a guide, you will miss the end G and some girls die (this happened during my run so some people will be different)
The game's graphics can be said to be strange, the plot is okay at the level of the game series with the word "souls"

I recommend you to try this game.
