RPGM - Blessing of the Elven Village [v0.2.1.a] [DragonMommyRhea]

it's bad... there's no progress bar or anything to let you know what to do or where to go. it revolve around defending the village again and again until you've made progress with one caracter if you're lucky.

Es un buen juego tiene buen sistema por combate que la verdad puede mejorar pero igual es bueno me gusta la mecánica de mejorar la relación con los personajes femeninos para que se vuelvan más fuertes, y las escenas eróticas son de lo mejor

Bad:
- MC is a total wimp. He's getting fucked by girls, not otherwise
- You're supposed to interact daily with every girls for them to get stronger in order to fight goblins. This results in taking away attention from the girls you want to pursue and forces you to talk to girls you don't like. How am I supposed to give a damn about 15 of them?
- Lots of pointless grind. It's one of those games you have to repeat the same action 100 times to get something.
- Combat feels like a punishment for not grinding enough

Good:
- Story. It can be less enjoyable if you lean center/right
- Renders and character designs

I am rating this on what is present and not what could be.

At present combat is pretty busted. Early on one of the npcs informs you that the combat is similar to Fire Emblem, maybe the weapons they use are similar, but in functionality it's nothing like Fire Emblem's rock, paper, scissors. Most battles will pit you against ONE type of enemy, spearmen or dual blade gobbos. It wouldn't be so bad if you could pick your own party, but you can't. Even if you dedicate yourself to ONLY leveling up the LIs with training, the enemy will still be dramatically stronger than you in every single encounter. Pistol girls are USELESS af, maybe in the first encounter they can do some good damage to the ONE goblin with a staff, but those caster gobbos are ridiculously rare to find. There are TWO pistol girls btw and there is a girl who refuses to wear power armor, so the THREE of them are pretty much useless in every fight and you will be fighting a lot!

The story is pretty good, but that lasts about as long as the intro and then it goes into a sandbox grind for affection points mode. You are limited to 6 action points a day, there are 15 LI's and not every girl is available all the time, so you could end up using up all your action points and end up missing another love interest that is only available at night on certain days. Even if you were to cheat it and give yourself unlimited action points (these never increase btw) the grind would still be pretty silly. Every 4th or 5th day you are forced to defend the town, but far as I can tell the MC doesn't participate at all with the town defense.

Wtf is going on with the MC? Is he meant to be a fighter? Is he meant to just run around and let women fight for him? I thought the point of the story thus far is MC is now an adult and as an adult he has to help defend the village and protect the women from potentially being kidnapped, or killed. This bit is puzzling.

As it stands, the enemy gets stronger a lot faster than whatever the MC and the girls are doing and since there is no gear to give them and +1 stat point does fuck all, this one is going in the bin. It's a neat idea with nice renders, the animation could use some smoothing out, but it's just a vacuous grind for a few scenes sprinkled in and headache inducing combat. I'll be keeping an eye on this one, maybe it will get better in the future.

The base story / Plot of the game is solid and has a lot of NPCs.
Combat is what you would expect from this type of RPG but it has a grind system that is enjoyable but a bit repetitive and has no MC combat ATM.

Renders: 4/5
NPCs(girls): 4/5
combat: 3.5/5
Story(Plot): 4.5/5
Game play: 4/5

Excellent for an initial release, with a lot of potential:

- Interesting premise
- Extensive dialogue
- Serviceable combat (and getting better each patch)
- Hot characters with great battle animations (love the battle suits)
- An active and responsive dev

It has some issues with the repetitiveness of constant training (the animations are nice, though), the temporary lack of interactions with most of the women, and navigating the village, but further updates should solve this.
