Others - Corruption of Champions II [v0.8.16] [Savin/Salamander Studios]

This game used to have a large variety of sex scenes but most of them equate to FUTA Lady, getting cucked, some weeb stuff with fox girls. Everything is that. The writting has seriously gone down hill. Ontop of all of that, the spacing between updates and the content released is meager.

The Good:

• The art is very good, Moira is carrying this game
• Barring a few recent updates at the time of writing, the game is stable and has no major glitches
• Some content, mostly from community writers and not the dev team, attempts to vary what's available for smut
• If you are a fellow Bad End connoisseur then there's some good stuff here
• It has potential if not for the lead dev, Savin, holding it back

The Bad:

• The lead dev, Savin, and his favorite writer, Tobs, are very toxic and use the game as a platform for spite and trolling
• Unfortunately my fellow Bad End Connoisseurs, the recent bad ends have been severely lacking and very short. Also they don't even try and have some bad ends that are just a paragraph saying you died
• There's almost no corruption content in Corruption of Champions II. At the time of writing this an update was just released removing corruption content from a quest created years ago
• The story is tonally a mess with no consistent writing style
• Poorly thought out twists that go nowhere
• Savin's anti-power fantasy philosophy actively hinders the game. You as the main character are reduced to a mere POV, or told how so many other characters are stronger than you, or given no agency or choice in most scenes
• Related to above, there are no narrative stakes due to the numerous overpowered characters who can solve all problems but choose not to
• The game's writing from Savin and Tobs either excuses, ignores the effects of, or even tries to justify very serious topics. Topics such as grooming, slavery, and colonialism
• Many characters who are left unfinished or in limbo yet declared feature complete by Savin
• Poor review process for community writers and only prioritizing the works that are Savin's specific fetishes
• Content is not well varied. There is an overwhelming focus on futa and netorase content above all else. This is well known now but was not conveyed initially
• The game has almost no relation to the first CoC aside from the existence of the player's corruption stat and the lore around demons
• Slow progress on the main story
• updates touted as "beefy" in size that amount to a boring character receiving a small amount of content
• Uninteresting or bizarre worldbuilding choices
• Poor management
• Agni exists
• zero gyarus, very little bimbo content

Summary: While not the worst thing I've ever played this game has way too many issues. I'd give it a 1.5 stars but I chose to round down instead of up after writing out the bad points. I can't in good conscience recommend this game. Many others have better rpg mechanics, better story and world building, or better futa and ntr content than this. Also I'm so critical of the story despite it being porn because the lead dev prides himself on the world building and writing of this game over the smut parts.

I just started playing this game about half a week ago and my Steam time already is at like 70 hours. It is shocking how good this is, the in depth D&D quests throughout. Like when I became XXXXXXX and was gifted freaking property to set up. That was unexpected and also sorta really awesome. It reminds me of a BG CRPG just all text. Honestly I am finding myself sometimes just rushing through the sex scenes to the next bit of story, I love it,

I don't know why people give this game 2.5 stars- it's a very intricate and well thought out game, with hours, and hours, of material, various regions to explore, and several fetishes to indulge in. Eventually the game will be done and hopefully they all make a new game, CoC3?!

I like a lot of the content in this game. I love that you can choose to get fucked by the big bad guy(well, futa), I love the myriad of fetishes you can enjoy, and I love just how many things there are to get fucked by.

But holy shit, there is no excuse for how slow new content drops. I stopped playing this for a full year, came back, and found that there was a single new level that was fully completed. One whole ass level. The rate at which new content is added is just abysmal. Other people have qualms with how chatty a lot of the game is, and it can definitely be annoying, but you can also just click through.

What you can't click through are the multiple fucking years inbetween content updates smaller than most jpegs. Where is the art? Where are the characters? Where are the zones? If you have played this game at all in the last two years, there's no reason to come back. At this rate, I'll own a house before I even see a brand new level to its end.

i usually don't like text heavy games but the artwork this game has in addition to the text is really good. combat isn't great but it's passable

checks all the right boxes for me in terms of fetishes but if you aren't into things like futa you will have much less content to enjoy

overall: love this game, i just wish it was updated more often

Wide variety of characters to have different kinds of fun times.
Personally don't really care about the plot or lore in porn games, as long as they're not completely absurd and get in the way of the naughty bits.

Games normal balance has and still is entire broken after deciding to not only destroy the lust system, but then proceed to allow bosses with high enough initiative to go numerous times a turn. Resulting in bosses spamming their hardest hitting moves or fully healing 3 seperate times a turn.

Also, I don't understand why demons are bad for wanting to fuck. Something narrative is bad there because everyone seems to be equally or more degenerate.

What impresses me most is the level of narrative freedom: you can shape your character, your moral decisions, your fetishes and your destiny with an absurd variety of options, it's an extremely well-written text RPG, with a solid combat system.

Most definitely not worth of anyone's time, the way things are going at the moment. The writing is lazy and predictable, updates bring less and less to the table, and what story that is to be had instead focuses on the writers hyping up their own insipid and uninspired OCs.

This is a fantastic game, I really hope they continue to expand it by adding new characters with unique stories, just like the many great ones already in the game. the portrait are quite good but sometimes they dont fit wellwith others.

I'm not sure why the game has such a bad rating, from what I understand it's the development taking so long, which is understandable, but I really do like what the game does in terms of character creation, the focus on breeding, the writing and Moira's art complementing the text aspect. Though I wish there were more normal female characters, especially human, and that it would be possible to turn more than one futa character to female.

CoC2 is in many ways a gold standard for Text Adventure RPGs, and while there are certainly issues, it is absolutely not a 'bad' game, it just might not be what you want it to be.

If you're looking for solid, simple RPG mechanics, which are present but secondary to the story and dialogue options, this game is great. If you want a really in-depth system, play CoC1.

If you're looking for a ton of written content with varied characters focused on 'bad ends', big dicks, monster girls, and (a lot of) futa, this game is for you. If you (like me) don't like chicks with dicks, there's a lot of content you miss out on.

If you're looking for great, in-depth character customization, being able to design your own personal hodge-podge of animal/monster parts, this game is awesome. If you want these things to matter in 90% of dialogue, this game will not deliver.

I think it's easy to see many flaws after playing this for years, as I have, because it does not deliver specifically what you want. I would love my preferences to be more represented, dialogue to be more custom, and larger PC portraits (please, god please). That said, the game is undoubtedly good, and amazing if it fulfills your specific interests.

honestly one of the best text based games ever made 2nd really only to trials in tainted space and even then there's things it excels in that trials in tainted space could never

Story
for the story this game has the same problem with trial in tainted space, in that the main story slowly updates because damn it's been a while, the side stories are great and the way this game describes things are guaranteed to make you frisky

Pros
unlike most text based games like this this game actually allows you to go with your companions and have different scenes depending on if they're there or not, which can't be said about trials in tainted space or most text based games like it

Characters
this game has a LARGE army of characters you can find and meet all unique and cool enough for you to love and may woman you can have as lovers, tho a fair warning that cait shouldn't be considered a lover but a friend, especially since she herself is the entire reason this game has a ntr tag tho tbf you can control if it happens but yeah

sex scenes

Absolutely amazing sex scenes, now as a warning this game doesn't have much imagery but MAN the descriptions of what happens do them justice, it's
extremely sexual and hot that you can't help but to love them all and the kinks, THE KINKS, when i tell you they are amazing i fucking mean it, wanna be a bitch boy trap,theres a kink for that, wanna be a dominating mountain,there's a kink for that, wanna be a futa with a giant dick, theres a kink for that, honestly this is probably the 2nd kinkiest game on this site with the first being trials in tainted space

I spent weeks gooning 5 to 12 times a day with this game. I'm into pretty much everything so the whole game is pure fap material. I sometimes accidentally edge myself for hours cause I'm to entranced by the erotic writing. I love that I can can turn into whatever I want. I feel so free it's great. Keep up the great work this games amazing.

In depth, addictive, and constantly filled with new material every few weeks. The most important part is the sheer amount of choice you as a player have to make your perfect fantasy character and role. Not everyone will agree on the particulars, but I say it's an easy 10/10.

This is one of those games that I think, the first time you play it, you'll likely be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content and choices available to you; the writing feels good and it feels practically like the kind of erotic fiction you've always dreamed of being a part of. It did for me; until I played it again.

Then I started to realize that I was really just the pedal in the vehicle that was the story, I wasn't really turning the wheel for fueling the plot even if I could determine how fast/slow I got there. Which, is fine right, a lot of AAA games are like this. But then I play more, and at least up to where I was, I started feeling even more like I was just in on the ride of other people's OCs. All these other characters are able to flesh out personalities, be important; and all I can do is randomly mutate into some furred hybrid that changes adjectives in the scenes that, now that I'm playing them a second time, aren't really that dynamic at all. I think the best analogy I can come up with is, (Even though the genre of games are totally different) I feel like Aether back when I played Genshin Impact a few years ago. I am a vehicle of the plot whose job is just to highlight other characters.

I think because it's open-ended nature feels more genuine, (And the fact that they don't ax party characters—RIP Berwyn) I end up finding myself enjoying TiTs a lot more even if it's Sci-Fi theme isn't really my thing. From what I understand, the two games share a lot of the same writers, so as much hate as this game seems to get from a writing and narrative perspective, I don't think it's the fault of any person, (Except whoever killed Berry lol) but just the overarching narrative design is different and doesn't appeal to me personally. Who knows maybe it will for you; If you're looking for a sandbox where story is secondary and you want to shift modifiers to match an OC in your head, this could be for you; and there's nothing wrong with that.

After all, the game seems to be heavily popular regardless the rating, so if you're on the fence I'm still sure you'll get mileage out of it. But personally some of the other games here have spoiled me and especially after my first run I haven't been able to enjoy CoC2 near as much since.

Game is filled with nearly unlimited perversion and a lot of kinks or fetishes that are down bad
Game also constain forced sexual scenes and relations that has your character a victim
Despite even having failed sex scenes there is a lot of moments where you must win or game over...which would be fair, but sometimes you can get stuck on 80 HP and boss instakill you on 1st turn easy dificulty
Game also feature FORCED body transformations

what i like:
Game have actual gameplay
companions have development and some of them are nice even if weak
relatively nice development of main character
building own province (kind off)
getting titles
inviting/capturing/accepting servants
i also like that failure is not always gameover
i m also glad you can win with temptation/sexiness not just violence

Things i hate:
you can not lock your character look, especially not body part size...
your character can mutate into disgusting creature, but followers get cool armor or bigger tits...
You can remove from the game few characters, but can not remove rape scenes on failure or forced demon encounters or force the unwinable battle to just skip itself
A lot of woman have dicks or option to get a dick, there is never an option to remove a dick from a girl!
game also think your sex is some kind of jelly state where you can bounce in and out of who you are...
one of the best perks is unburdened bcs this game is made by a maniac, even wearing a ring can get your tits to size of a planet so you end with debuff, perk remove debuff but you must engage in getting pregnant with some disgusting racoon woman as perk is vagina exclusive...
its impossible hard to maintain or obtain specific look
Game perform clunky and slow, engine clearly struggle with displaying text or battle progress making chokes and causing double-clicks often
Outcomes of some events are permament and unforseen, you can end with annoying companion character who refuse to be submissive or entitled cow that constantly need fucking and milking and literally force you into it like enemy
If you openly tell companions that you don't wanna be their personal vibrator they will often get debuffs related to sex, which are quite harsh, not drastic, but i ended in situations where elf, cat and cow was unusable due to their constant needs and debuffs and started blaming my loses on it
Game take confidence as "better" than submissiveness, which you might argue to some degree it might be, however this two are not mutually exclusive and its kind of stupid to end with demanding companion who calls you a "slut" on "hey how are you" visit and outright rape you bcs you tried to play as bimbo-queen and was too good for people
Corruption goes up very easily, losing or winning you can land yourself on 100, but it almost never goes down, only early mission allow you to drop it by -2 and -5 few times
My character is never strong enough to even live thru fights, i use resurrections, i have max toughness and evasion, it doesn't do anything
game heavily favor tank build and walking with catgirl as permament companion for occasional heals and resurrects
game needlessly limit storage and inventory slots, you have to end up selling rare or unique items just to get space
There is not easy way to compare better/worse items for your build, i think despite efforts in this direction game does not clearly indicate which attacks use which attribute or item bonus so most of my non-brute builds end up not working because of it
FEDEX quests force you to have all the items at once, you can't just deliver 1 or 20 of one type you have now... its very tedious
Quest items to deliver takes valuable inventory space, making whole management even harder
Storage stacks are sometimes not good enough, stone stack to 20, you have quest to deliver 45 + wood + metal basically items for single quests you can spend hours collecting will take half of your inventory
Game also put interesting interpretation towards building up confidence and companion relationship, you can ignore or refuse to support elf companion in every dialogue, but if you fuck her good enough times she now believe in herself? dialogue change is 1 time only sex is repeatable

Futa is gay and this game is full of it
Game lack wholesome relations or ability to address characters in your own way, i don't wanna call lady a slut or cockslave just because i dick her down

Honestly i do not recommend playing it unless you are too deep in porn games to quit...its not worth it

Seems a lot of people's complaints about this text based adventure game is that it's...*checks notes*...a text based adventure game...huh.

While the development time of this game and other games by the developer is absolutely abysmal, the fact that there seems to be a lot of low rated reviews complaining about the amount of text in a text based game is just silly.

This game is a bit of an improvement to the first CoC in some areas, especially in the art department since the first one didn't really get any significant art, but it also feels like a step down from what it could have been considering this started development maybe halfway through the development of TiTS but the only thing it seems to have taken from that is the map movement.

The character transformation also isn't as intense as the other games, which kinda just leaves you playing as the same kind of character the entire time, which is alright I guess.
Pregnancy is still a mechanic, but without any way to speed it up, it feels closer to a punishment if you are into repopulating the world with your own spawn, and I don't even think there are any characters the player can impregnate aside from like...one kitsune lady that was implemented years ago.
In fact, I think the game might even still be limited to just the one area, which is really bad considering it's the same area that was there at the beginning.

Anyways, it's not as bad as people want to make it seem.
Yes it has a lot of text, that comes with the territory of being a text based game, and yes the development speed is slow as balls, but it's still a good play once every few years.

You know what it is.

The discord server model of development rarely works well unless there's good managers and this game flounders on that. Endless patreon bloat and questionable gameplay with story stagnation, Someone on the dev team writes as if they think verbosity is a mark of quality.
