RPGM - Completed - Crimson Lotus Soaring Pure Flame [v1.04] [NoTears]

Okay, this is one of the dumbest game ever. I understand there is this cuckoldry fetish and some are into that but holy shit the way it is executed here is just utter garbage just like the whole story ark is some nonsense hentai plot retrofitted to work for this game, it is a complete failure. Game balance? Combat mechanics? Forget all that this is a god damn "kinetic" novel with some ugly stock RPGM UI. Why a kinetic novel, you ask? Because there are actually two routes which you can take by a single decision which is the worst kind of kinetic novel right off the bat, and you can follow through both stories painfully because let me tell you, I didn't even try one of them but can tell you it also has negative value.

Everything else like the pregnancy mechanic and such is completely beside the point because the game doesn't work on any level, so fuck this. The only thing that could almost save this from a 1 star would be the art, but man like forget "anatomically correct" 90% of the time. Disaster.

TLDR.: Do yourself a favour by not downloading this shit.

I had higher expectations for this game and caught by the prego tag, which results in disappointment and a mediocre experience.
The game features two story routes: pure and corrupt. The pure route involves your beloved partner and leads to a good ending, while the corrupt route involves a bum named Guido and leads to a bad ending. I must mention that the corrupt route is poorly designed and negatively impacts the overall impression of the game for me.
Additionally, there are repetitive lose battle CGs. The battlefuck is not animated except for X-ray, and there is not much variety in the battlefuck pictures. It simply consists of two interchangeable pictures during encounters. Although your clothes may be torn apart during battle, they return to their normal state afterward (you cannot walk around with torn or no clothes).
The battle system is lacking and could be improved. If you reach a high level, the enemies become weak, turning you into a demigod who can defeat mobs with a single shot.
There is no map in the game; you are simply assigned a task and thrown into a specific location with enemies of a certain level.
On a positive note, I appreciate the level of detail in depicting certain body parts' corruption, abdominal status, and pregnancy in general. This makes the game slightly better than mediocre. The voice acting is well done, which I appreciate.
Overall, I would rate it 3.5/5, slightly above average due to the in-game pregnancy and good voice acting.

And I would like to express my gratitude to Dazedanon for consistently providing excellent translations.

As an enjoyer of battle fuck games, this game's interpretation of it is sorely lacking. Every enemy has a single type of battle CG which is not animated, and it has no lasting effect. The content in general is very generic and vanilla, which doesn't hurt if it's very well done, but in this case it is decidedly average.

Kinda disappointed with this one, the battle fuck seems like a last-minute afterthought.

Pretty good overall. much better than most stuff here.
It's only problems is doing too many things at once.
Do you want a pure love/NTR game? or a harem game? or a corruption/degeneracy game?
It tried to do everything and does deliver but to some extent, leaves an unsatisfying feeling at the end as compared to games that focus on one or two fetishes and have a lot of content about it or extreme content in that fetish.

Multiple types of H systems, like pregnancy tracking, battle H. normal player trigger cgs and defeat H. Could be a bit tougher to try force some these scenes on the player.

Items were a bit underutilized and were only for battling/surrendering.

battle sex could be way better

The Corruption system was good. 3 levels of corruption. But it doesn't really give as clear info on the parameters for it, so it feels a bit confusing at times.
A whole good bunch of endings and replayability but because it does a few different fetishes, someone who isn't into one of them may not want to go again for another route.

All in all, a good game that almost could have been a really great game.

Next game I hope the dev focuses on one fetish and experiments lots with it. For example a properly fleshed out corruption system where the player character can intentionally and unintentionally spiral into degeneracy.

Quick Review:
-CG's are alright nothing amazing but serviceable.
-Corruption is subpar: you're either in the pure or ntr route - it's pretty binary with nothing in between.
-Pregnancy mechanic is a disappointment. Despite the preview CG there's no fertility cycle, no gestation period. No free roam while pregnant (actually there's no free roam mode at all ). It's similar to ONEONE1's pregnancy style - impregnation and instant childbirth all in one scene.

All in all, a typical fap and forget title. Just unlock the CG's and be done with it.

Mid as hell

There isn't a lot of corruption going on in terms of scenes. It's very fast forwarded. The main antagonist that "steals" her only has one scene with her. Her reasoning for doing it is quite illogical in the hentai sense as well. Oddly enough the guy being ntr-ed isn't a small limpdick as per usual. You fall into the NTR route if you lose once and get raped. And suddenly she's all "I can't do sex stuff with my boyfriend anymore to power up because I'm ashamed, I'LL JUST BANG SOME RANDOM DUDE INSTEAD!" It's not even the usual "Having cheating sex makes you stronger." That's not good logic but at least its hentai logic. This game is just weird

Finally a game where pregnancy is not just a ending CG. Game branches off into 2 paths: pure and corruption. dont know about the pure route but the fallen one was jammed packed with good scenes. My main complaint is that the mobs are too easy meaning you really got to try to lose (or use the suicide pill). The battlefuck scenes even have a variation when shes alrdy preggers.

So... I played it for 40 minutes and somehow I reached the ending (good ending) without much scenes. To be honest I don't know how to get NTR scenes . The battle mechanic system is also a bit weird since you could literally just spam a skill and win at the last boss.


Gameplay 2/10
Rendering 8/10
NTR experience 3/10 (again, I don't know how to get into the NTR path)
Overall 6/10

Very good game. Great art, decent translation and not too grindy.
You can reach the good endings with little issue, saddly the pregnancy mechanics are only avaiable in the loss/corruption paths, but its not only ending scenes.
