    Good Game, but the Game doesn't live up to it's name of "CORRUPTED" Kingdom.
    The Game has Corruption element, that the MC can use, but the Devoloper made it so that you can't use that power except maybe besides some 1-2 situations. There are choices to dominate other Girls, which is neat, but that's just one sex scene, doesn't really affect their personality through and through.

    All in all, The Game has a Decent story, which is really easy to follow and play (Something that is very rare in porn games these days). But other than that, calling the game "Corrupted" without having some actual hardcore Corruption is a dumb move, Just call it Harem Kingdom or whatever. Regardless, this is the only thing that truly pissed me off about this Game, other than that, I would say this Game feels more like Watching a Anime with a Decent story, all the H-scenes so far and in between, that you are never gonna end up fapping to this Game.

    One of the best games of its genre. The game has a good number of characters, it has many places to explore, and some of these places generate random events with other characters, the art is good, well crafted, the game is visually beautiful and the story is interesting. The only downside is that the game is not finished with an ending yet, however, it is updated every week by the developers.

    The game starts off with "now you can explore everything and do what you want! You can decide which girls to chase, and events aren't time-bound, you can do them everytime".

    The reality of the game looks different. Events actually are time-bound, I had to skip time and come back on another day often. Sometimes I couldn't progress with the bar girl because "the bar is too full, maybe I should try it later" (but that comes right before night time and at night the bar is closed).

    Sometimes progress is hard blocked by stats you need to aquire, which you only get by going elsewhere and find new girls. And sometimes you can't progress with a girl for no reason. For instance, I wanted to progress with Annie, but after two quests there is nothing to do. Probably hardlocked behind another quest somewhere else.

    So the open world is totally unecessary since you can't play the game you want. That being said, the visuals aren't really good either. The girls look like little children and therefore not so sexy, and MCs dick looks like a plastic toy.

    Probably the Best adult game i've played. Special props to the writing... Layered characters, twists and turns but substantially carried. Opportunities to let out darker side without making you feel like a monster... Dunno, just a game made by people that understand players of these games (keep in mind I talk in averages, I'm well aware we are a collective with pretty wide extremes).

    Ps. One more bad thing happening to Ami and I you will get an Eldritch visit.

    the thematic is what i most like from this game, tbh thinking that this is just a part of what it could be makes me pretty happy so i'll be keeping an eye for upcoming updates n.n.

    Pd: i'm a manic for monster girls in general *---*

    Seloco brabo demais, nunca tinnha jogado um jogo imersivo assim, passei 13 horas jogando saporra, o lance de controlar as pessoas é o diferencial. é como se fosse minecraft no modo criativo;

    Enough people have already listed out the pros and cons of this game so I'm not gonna bother repeating their points and want to instead say how impressive the progress on this game is. I check back in every couple months and every time I'm amazed with how much new content has been added to the game. Of course the argument can be made that feature creep can occur if you do it the wrong way. However, especially with seeing how other games progress (or don't) over years and years with as much added to them as to this one in weeks to months this dev is as hard working as it gets and I'd like to commend them for their work ethic in a field dominated by some of the laziest, least grateful mfers who have one of the most chill jobs possible, working on something that grew from a passion and being paid insane amounts by their fans while doing jack shit.

    I love the game but this was my first time playing through it and I can't help but feeling like the dev is biting off more than they can chew. The feature creep is insane and the amount of new cast that is introduced will make your head spin.

    That said there's a ton of good content here and it is an interesting story for a harem dating sim. Personally I like the fairy and I feel like an entire game could be made out of your relationship with just her and that would be unique and good enough for me.

    Remember in 2002-2007 when all we had were complaining about Naruto episode fillers and that one guy just wanted to watch Hellsing? This game is like that. It starts alright, you are in for a treat, everything is building up to this grand cool thing. You finally walk up to the nun, you are ready... And then you end up investigating some rice field for Jiraiya instead.

    I won't deny that this game had a lot going. Wonderful characters, good scenes, and an interesting story.

    Unfortunately that has all been overshadowed by creeping featurism and a tsunami of nothing but side content. The story got side tracked my update after update of nothing but repeatable scenes and content with side characters while the Dev also added more features that, in my opinion, added exactly nothing to the game.

    If you're one to like endless pointless side content then this is the game for you.

    Possibly the very best of the best Patreon R18 Game Project there is and while that may not mean much considering the average quality one is scammed into supporting, this is anything but. It may not be perfect and may not even appeal to all but it is well worth a try.

    There is a wealth of content to enjoy and it took me around 20 hours until I could collect most if not everything of Act 2 where I'll stop for now and await until Act 3 is finished.

    Act 1 serves as prologue to the world one will try to conquer, secretly, since there are at least three major factions with less than savory intentions. Fanatic humans that strive to eliminate everything magical, the magic side under the leadership of someone with the same intend and eldritch beings that are madness incarnate.

    The writing is often quite interesting and, while not mind-blowing, is more than acceptable. Nothing bored me or overstayed its welcome (pacing is important after all) nor did I have to suspend my disbelief that much.

    Gameplay is simple but effective. It's event based and event chains may depend on others to unfold. For convenience it's recommended to follow the story and level up the skills in advance since nothing can be missed, only gained.

    There's a wealth of R18 content and no doubt, that's always the primary draw. There are countless girls, not just the dozen+ main ones, which got several scenes which basically range from pure vanilla to the furthermost edges of vanilla which one can consider non-con, especially due to the plenty mind-control but well, it's not rape if they enjoy it, right...? (Only in Hentai. In reality a woman won't enjoy it if she doesn't want to, no matter what one does.)

    Well the story is pretty good, but the corruption part seems to vanish more and more after each chapter/act and it starts to feel alot like a kinetic game, sure you have choices but only to who you want to fuck or not, a few will be forced on you as well which i wasent happy about, like Jess were you cant avoid a BJ due to the need to gaining heart points, if you dont you cant go on with the questline.

    Thats pretty much it for choices in game, it only effect a bit of text or if the annoying Pixie is mad or happy about your choice, but the outcome is always the same no matter what which is also why it feels very kinetic when it comes to the story.

    One of the worst thing about story is the wait, you have sword girl and quiet girl that might have some weird plot but it never got updated and people started to ask about it years ago....waiting time is just to insane.

    The corruption part is the most annoying thing though, your kinda just forced to be the pure hero/nice guy and i like to mix it up alot more, there is a reason i picked revenge at that start insted of justice...
    It started out really nice where you scatter the organization dudes, and where you can kill some of them doing ninja missions, but after that theres no real feel of corruption or revenge anymore, and there is very few you can use scatter skill on.

    The LIs have some nice and cute looks but the builds are mainly focused on big tits or huge tits, sure Kena and Emma has small ones but its a bit to rare, there is proberly 20 big/huge tits and 2-3 small tits, that should give you an idea of the ratio, like when you go with Jess to get 3 females to sell their houses all 3 big tits, they should really even that more out.

    Virgin tag, thats a weird thing since not a single LI feel like a virgin, even those that has never seen a dick before still fucks like a 20 year old hooker whos had sex 50 times a day, MC slams it in and the LI loves it, no pain no blod no good dialogs.
    There is absolutly no virgin feel to the scenes or the text doing a LIs first time so that part is a huge fail.

    It also makes me wonder if the vigin tag is just a lie.
    I say that because if you look at the stats screen of the LIs they show up as Anal virgin only and not a single one shows as virgin under sex, it just says untouched which might make you belive they are all virgins but that couldent be more worng, since Chastity shows up as untouched as well and she being a former pornstar and you watched a video of her fucking another dude shes far from a virgin, so that means stats screen is only about what MC has done with the LIs, but it still dosent change the fact that 0 LIs shows as virgins under sex, so they really messed up virgin part in this game.

    Pregnancy part is a bit of a disapointment if you got that kink, its simply just over to fast, it only take 1 week for a LI to give birth so you wont really be able to enjoy that part, and then theres the part of one kid per LI so you wont get any twins, you can transfer kids to another world which dosent really make much sense since you will just get the same kid again with the same LI which ruins a bit of the fun, also kids sex is fixed so you cant get all girls in the daycare if you want kids with all the LIs possible.
    There is still alot of LIs that cant get pregnant, people been asking for LIs like gwen/cloe to have the option since 2021 i belive so dosent seem to be much progress with pregnancy anymore, but atleast there are still a decent number to play with.

    Animations are pretty good for this type of characters style.

    Music is meh not really good more like listening to elevator music for hours, still better then silent though.

    Sandbox part is pretty good, it dosent feel like a big grind if you take your time, money can be an issue if you try to rush things, other then that its pretty well made, but do remember it is a 100% sandbox game so if you arent into that this proberly wont be for you.

    Updates, well its more then 4 years old now and its at 0.20.2 and changelog shows it going up by 0.0.1 which would mean it would take a total of 20 years to reach 1.0.0 if thats the goal, dont think that will be the case atleast i sure hope not, but it does make you wonder :)

    Short overall review:
    All in all i think the game is worth playing, story is good and sandbox works, but due to the epic fail of virgins in the game and the extreemly slow plot build/reveal for some LIs and the small/big tit ratio, and the kinetic storyline feeling, and the lack of corruptions, i just cant give more then 3 stars since it had alot more potential then what it currently has.

    Had to change it to 2 stars after playing the main story, it just felt pointless and stupid how you have been working the hole game to build MC up and when you finaly get into a fight you get to absolutly nothing, you just get your ass kicked and have you gramps come in and save you, where is the revenge in that, also yet again your given more fake options, fight or run, block or dont, all leading to the same results just a kinetic storyline, why even put in the choices it dosent make sense.

    Act 3 gets even worse, you got so many powers and when you run into someone you cant use any of them, wheres the revenge option to scatter the fuckers you meet, or kill em...but even your "soldiers" has been trained to aim for not to kill, wtf seriously? what happened to going a little crazy like when you killed people doing ninja mission....game gone way to soft...sure you can kill some girls???? i mean what???? why????.....all the stuff you done in act 1 and 2 is just pointless all the buildings you bought means nothing and your left with a really weird combat system where all the work building MC up means nothing....someone dropped the ball with this game, act 1 was really good....

    A short review.

    The game has clear upsides and downsides depending on what act you are on. The longer I played the game, the more I started to dislike it. I'm not enjoying the war phase of the game at all but the previous parts were fun. The game is a sandbox and I do think its the worst parts of the game since it tends to be buggy. The best parts of the game is when the plot actually moves along. The pregnancy stuff is out of place, my guess is that patrons requested it as a feature in the game. The dev is trying to avoid it getting in the way of the main story by only letting side characters get pregnant. The gallery mode sucks since it doesn't contain every scene, they just expect you to free roam to the replayable scenes and if you progress to the war phase, you can't go back to those scenes unless u have a save.

    This review is on version 0.19.9.

    "Corrupted Kingdoms" is a game I have been following for a long time, and one I have mixed feelings about.

    There's no denying the overall quality of presentation. It's a rare case where it feels as though the game uses "Koikatsu" renders not because they're easily accessible, but because it's genuinely what the developer liked and wanted. Beyond even that, however, the interface, music selections, settings, plotlines...they're all, by and large, very good.

    But, while I have heaps to praise about this game, from plot details to content variation, I find myself becoming increasingly disillusioned with it, and there's no better way to explain why than to look at the lie plastered on the front page:

    「You are the hero - or possibly villain - of this tale」

    The game has abandoned its focus, and it can be seen sorely in almost every aspect of the game.

    I want to start by saying this game has effectively become kinetic throughout the development of Arc 2. There is no choice for the player to define themselves, you are as Arc has written you. The premise of "Awakening" and "Shattering", which originally seemed to promise control and morality, has largely been abandoned - any grey area is in the MC's use of his powers on passerby.

    The notion of "passerby" brings me to my next point: the character count. "Corrupted Kingdoms" has a portion in the UI that tracks your "progress" with characters, presumably the intended main ones...but the sheer number of characters has gotten out of hand. The UI has never been updated to reflect the current reality, but you would need to double or even triple it to account for the cast of repeating characters, nevermind the one-offs. Now, to be completely fair, the divide (with a couple exceptions) is by all indicators a matter of quest instances, those shown have multiple quest sequences to complete...though personally I believe that's a bit rubbish, I'd like it to account for all characters because the feature literally exists to track characters. But mostly all of this is a problem with "focus", because so very many of these characters are feature-incomplete while the game chugs along.

    It just feels like the scope has gotten so grand that the content has suffered for it. Particularly like a character? Get stuffed, here's another one...or two...or three. And you know what? I like getting to meet such a huge cast of characters...I just hate not getting to meet them again. It may sound rude to such a high-level project, but if you're going to add a character, they need effort directed towards them, not whatever you feel like doing now.

    Act 3 has exacerbated these problems even further, and has reformulated itself into an almost entirely different game with even less focus on character interaction. It's beginning to feel so front-heavy as to almost be a bait-and-switch. There was a time when this game was a clear 5 star from me, but increasingly I've felt my interest, and as a result my opinion, continually lowering.

    Now, don't get me wrong, "Corrupted Kingdoms" is still good, especially when considering the standard for games of this type...but don't be fooled by the fancy taglines or the story's beginning: While it does have some neat lore, this is a collector game and little else. It's terrifically sad when it used to be more.

    Edit (0.20.9): I want to add a quick addendum for the dev. Given your statement regarding the situation with Patreon, this appears to be a good opportunity to address some of the game's shortcomings as you'll be reworking vast swathes of it anyway.

    I hate to give a bad review but the game enters the point where i simply don't care any more. First the effort, time, skill and love put in this game are really top notch.

    But i think they main concept got lost. I mean there is nothing more wich is corrupt. You have a happy harem. In the early version where it was just you and the bar maid. I was corrupting her. Now it's a hero story with some vanilla sex. Also there is not a single story affecting choice. All you decide is if you want to see a lwed scene or not. Other choices just change the flavor of the text.

    This is one of the longer-running, highly-rated games on the site, that I've avoided for a long time, and well...

    It has good parts.

    What this game lacks, even more than budget, is restraint. I believe a project with this level of high-effort deserves to be judged more harshly for what that effort has been directed towards.

    A good lewd game is usually one that has a strong theme that's supported by strong technical execution and enticing lewd scenes. Here, there is some heart, and some effort put towards the strong central theme of power-fantasy/harem-protagonist stuff, but the game very rarely directs it's full attention to those core central scenes and mechanics that matter, and it just throws "content" at you. More stats, characters, scenes, random events, whatever the creators could get out of the Koikatsu-visuals. Just dozens and dozens of scenes that can be viewed in any desired order, being relatively free-form, but also lacking proper pacing outside the better, restricted sections.

    The game has no problems throwing stock-animations with stock-porn-music at you with a couple of lines of dialogue over and over again. Sometimes the game bothers to add in the context for the scenes, but not often enough. There are scenes that are slightly better executed, but I have yet to see a properly built up erotic scene. The pacing reminds me of serialized fan-fiction more than anything else, where "content" has been added based on a need for the current update, rather than the project as a whole.

    As for the story, I think there is a strong core of magic-power fantasy hiding behind everything else, but it is kind of hampered by the adherence to harem-anime tropes, that don't always go together. At minimum, they should have given the MC at least one original character-trait, because having character-dialogue that consists of "I like to eat Ice Cream!" is actual brain-poison. The strong parts of the writing feel like they're being suffocated by all the stuff that is bad on purpose.

    Without going deeper into the plot and decisions made, I think the game would genuinely be better if there was less of it. Less heroines, with sharper more interconnected storylines, more high-effort, well paced sections between periods of resource/relationship/stat-building sections, and a better presentation of the sex scenes. Limit the dev to one random joke-area that they can make using whatever assets are in the Koikatsu-editor, and make everything else be story-areas connected to plotlines related to the main themes of the work, which would be domination, mind control, mental changes, magic-use and power-fantasy. Also limit the number of things the MC is good at, and just use those limited strengths to get whatever the MC desires.

    ...not saying anything actually needs to happen with this project, as it seems very near feature-complete, but just as general opinions on what type of experience I would enjoy more in this formula.

    Very average game.

    The story is okay but I was never really invested.

    The music can get annoying but it is mostly fitting.

    The sex scenes have good animations but sometimes the camera is really bad.

    The characters are very basic but I enjoyed most of them.

    The gameplay isn´t really good it just felt boring.

    The dialogue is mostly good but when it tried to be funny I was just annoyed.


    I would recommend it not really special but it doesn´t really have many problems.

    Love the game! I like this type of game specially with pregnancy on it.

    Story is good specially the twist about who the MC really is and his gramps. There's so much question and mystery about it and i'm looking forward about it. About the girls in the game i'm looking forward for the other girls that can get preggo specially Gwen. Kinda sad about her for protecting the MC. :(

    Been playing RPG turnbased or whatever it is in my entirelife. For a game like this the mini games and others this aside from reading some stuff like VN are quite good since i hate VN, i rather watch hentai or read manga if i'll just play VN. Like the idea of chapter 3 about war, it's just can you put more to it. Kinda expecting to have more places to go once you conquered a district and put something like dating or making love on it. Also if you can put like a time travel so you could go back to the recent chapter without war. So you can play around get the girls preggo or grind something, while waiting for the new patch or content of the game.

    Overall i like the game!! I will still give a 5!
    I hope you could create another game with pregnancy with it. lol
    Moreee power to yaa!! I wish i could donate but im just a pleb, hopefully i could donate so i could support you

    Well, the game took MANY TURNS. I found most of it AMAZING, and really enjoyed that it turned out much bigger than I expected... however, I feel that it would be more enjoyable with more situations in which your choices matter.

    Also, i'm hesitant of the current state of things, as of version 0.19.4. The new gameplay combat loop got boring extremely quickly for me. I hope what is left is worth the grind, but given how much I enjoyed it until those recent events, i must give it a try

    Probably the only porn game in existence (outside of Steam) that has Discord integration. It can be disabled.. but it's enabled by default.

    I doubt I'm alone on this... most people don't want everyone on Discord to know what porn game they're playing.

    I don't understand why this is even necessary. Up to the dev I guess, but it should at least be opt-in instead of opt-out.
