RPGM - Cursed Armor II [v5.90] [Wolfzq]

Had a little PTSD after this game because you basically can NOT get a good ending on your first playthrough(and many playthoughs after if you dont read guides)
Game art is magnificent + I like this dress up mechanic even if it does nothing. But be aware that the game has hardcore fetishes like bestiality, amputation and etc
Gameplay part... well... typical JRPG, nothing special
Plot is good but Im not a big fan of bad endings
Length is average + as I said before you WILL HAVE to play multiple times to get your good ending so you will spend at least several evenings in this game

UPD 03.01.2024: giving back one star, they actually made it possible for anyone to get their happy ending. Game itself is still brutal in some stuff but I can take it

Tried it once again yesterday and seems it got old quickly. Compared to recent RPGM games it's very lacking - it's walking simulator where you waste time travelling vast empty spaces with no clue what to do with core loop that is designed to waste your time with repeated events. Game is VN-style with a lot of dialogs but text appears at so slow pace so I got frustrated very quickly and started skipping it.

Costume subsystem is pointless as it's de facto game in game where you dress up you character as in early 2000 flash games but it has no impact on other parts of game whatsoever.

Big plus for CGs and variety but good luck unlocking this, better download gallery but be warned, it can bug out too.

Pretty boring and buggy game. There are a lot of these lovely game breaking bugs. Reported already and they are still there, for years. If you dont strictly follow the main quest and want to watch the other areas and "dungeons", you will soon stuck in a loop of the same main quest.

Avoid the game.

Perfect simply perfect .
this game have a awesome sex scenes and very good story an more important think is have a hot and sexy woman whit sexy voice and perfect body
If you whant experienc a perfect game i suggest cursed armor 1 and 2

This is one of those smut games hamstrung by its own ambition.

I'll give it points for what it does right:
The illustrations are very appealing.
It has a lot of ideas that it wants to dive into.
It caters to a lot of fetishes.
It features a very good Quest Log system.

Unfortunately, it hits a wall when it comes to overcoming its constraints and limitations. The emphasis on the story is extremely high, which is a major issue because despite boasting a full translation, there are times when things are barely better than a MTL. The shaky grasp on English isn't usually a dealbreaker for me with porn games, because most porn games do not try to tell these kinds of stories. Much of the time, the narrative is a conceit for adult content. Not so, here. The just-functional enough prose lands in an uncanny space where I cannot invest in the story, and boy, there is a lot of story.

Next up, is the overly-ambitious, convoluted gameplay. There are layers upon layers of mechanics at work here, and I think they brush up against what's feasible in RPGMaker. Every time I play something that is an "action" RPG in RPGM and requires any sort of twitch controls, it's clunky and barely functional, and Cursed Armor II is no exception.

The progression system requires juggling a lot of routines and actions and stats, and given the janky translation, I was often only barely grasping what I was supposed to be doing and why. I gave up because life is too short to be that invested in a smutty RPG Maker game with pretentions of deep gameplay.

My final verdict is it's a buffet of half-baked ideas. The art assets are nice, but it feels like you're fighting the game's setting, story, lore and gameplay to access them. Give it a pass.

The art is incredibly good, the artist understands anatomy and lighting and all the costumes look amazing.

The story has a lot of branches with the usual fantasy politics in the background that fails to provide much interest but sets up the characters for sexy shenanigans nicely. However a few of those branches are unfinished.

The erotic content is really where the game shines. For those who like more than vanilla content this game is incredibly satisfying to play. Various fetishes are covered in such a way that they flow from the story rather than abrupt cuts to whatever you are in to. The chain beasts story line being a perfect example of this.

Unfortunately the developer has knee-capped the game's potential out of his own ignorance. Just to be clear you can not stop your game being pirated. AAA studios have failed to do it, you an indie developer will come nowhere near achieving this goal. Yet he still wastes development time designing traps for pirates to fall in to.

Another issue I have is the microtransactions for costumes. You can pay $10 or more to get access to frequent new costumes that are made. This really adds nothing to gameplay, and it wouldn't be an issue if it didn't seem like such effort was put into this one small area of the game to the detriment of everything else.

This has the potential to be a great game but is held back by terrible design choices in the form of DRM and constant paid DLC costumes.

I loved Cursed Armor I because of the slave, humiliation, bdsm, rape themes, and this disappointed me, mainly by lack of that content.

The art is good and much better than in Cursed Armor. But i found the gameplay with two different forms of the MC tedious and it seems that the maker wanted to create a strong woman game, in contrast to Cursed Armor I where the MC gets to be totally submissive.

I did not progress very much, so maybe I missed out on kinky content, but lost interest as the start of the game is very slow and all the kinky tags and themes of Cursed Armor I were missing.

If you like hard core submission but with far worse art, you should try part one.

V3.7

Here's the good parts of the game. The art is phenomenal, legitimately very good to look at and the clothing mechanics of the game is one of the more detailed I've ever seen in RPGM. There's a crap ton of costumes to choose from from the monthly costume pack based on other franchises girls.

...Those were the good parts.

Now for the bad. The game is still incomplete after 4 years due to the developer focusing more on DRM instead of content. It's broken as well, with a particular bug that resets story progress after crossing a bridge outside the castle and even more spread out through the game. Along with a slew of unimplemented mechanics as well as poor coding and optimization.

The story is a rehash of the original Cursed Armor, with a translation that was just as half assed to boot and the MC having never learned her lesson in the first game. She will repeat the same mistakes in her new body essentially.

The gameplay is even sloppier. The battles in this game are ARPG top down style, but the fighting is haphazard, unrefined and messy. It's not fun to fight. Exploring is the typical RPGM experience so if you like that, more power to you. The focus on the monthly costumes and DRM likely led to this detriment.

It's a poor excuse of a game, but not a terrible excuse of one. Just barely. Dev needs to stop pegging his ass with his own head and fix it up with actual development. He attempts to encrypt the game instead of actually giving it content and refinement trying to futilely combat piracy.

Piracy is impossible to stop. No matter how big, small, smart, or wealthy you are.

[rev @ v2.2 "translate 98%"]

Picture a NetFlix series written by Hideo Kojima and directed by JJ Abrams filmed for the express purpose of selling to PornHub at an inflated price. That's the vibe I get from this.

CG art's gorgeous; not exaggerating when I say it's some of the best I've seen. It's let down a bit by stock chipset assets and character sprites borrowed/modified from other games on older engines.

Narrative is fucking bananas. Tons of random nonsense and unforeshadowed twists, replete with more than one "fuck you" game over and what seemed to me to be punishments for finding the porn in a porn game. Can't really judge the fluency or dialog as the alleged "2%" left untranslated seems to have left 20% of the dialog in bargain bin moonrunes.

Porn's a mixed bag. Not enough pregnancy, way too much buttplay. Any toilet is too much toilet but the mind control and lewd curse is nice. I was thankful that the violence from the intro didn't return as too heavyhanded a ryona theme.

This version has a few logic and consistency errors with events happening out of order, and a few too many "Lore is work in progres >_<" placeholder messages. I realize that the project is still in development but less effort wasted on login verification systems and more spent on showing people a quality product will return greater results. My least-favorite aspect of the system is a conga-line of fuckups: 1) The writing frequently devolves into longwinded flashbacks or monologues that 2) may or may not be partly or fully translated resulting in 3) holding the skip dialog button for long periods of time which 4) seems to destabilize and crash the RPGMakerMV engine sending the player back to 5) an unreliable and inconsistent autosave that seems to delight in not doing its job in such a way to force you back through the same stint all over again.

TLDR: Intersting, glad I played it, but the ups had their downs. Yo ho, ho.

TL;DR:
Pros:
1. If you have played Cursed Armor I, you have to give praise to this sequel. A huge overall improvement from the clunky and buggy version of the first one.
2. The CG quality & character visual design are much better.
3. A more streamline yet complicated battle system.
4. Crazier story...wilder tale? For good or bad, I can't say. But you actually become the succubus this time, so...yay?
5. FINALLY, a game where you can dress up your sexy lady with so many choices! HAVE YOU NOT CUMMED YET? (I didn't...sadly...but I know someone did! XD)

Cons:
1. The new battle system...it is a bit...hard to control...for newcomers or someone who is unprepared.

Honest Opinion:
This, you have to say is a great improvement from the previous work.

More or less, enough different branches to make the plot somewhat interesting enough to survive till the end.

For clothing choices, id@lmaster series would always be Number 1, but as for the porn games, this one sure made it to top 5.

Sex everywhere with variations, you will fap for days.

Problem is...you will still wonder what you have to in-game most of the time since you really have to search around to figure out where to go and what to do early on. A confusing opening, easily could throw impatient audience away (Patience is a virtue, the majority doesn't have...).

With some good VA in scenes, a few original BGMs, some crazy SEs, a well-revised plot and a proper setup, this could easily be one of the best. Remember: making your players wondering around for too long is a buzzkill. (unless you make it an open world with all kinds of sub-quests and branches)

Cursed Armor was not great for English speakers. Personally, I could not finish playing it, and I've waded through many bad translations before.

Cursed Armor II, however seems to be better, although sex scenes going on too long and being very repetitive, the art is much better, the first game's art wasn't bad but there is a noticeable improvement. Combat is significantly different than most if not all other RPGMaker games but it's poorly explained.

Overall, despite some weaknesses, loving the story, I like what I'm seeing so far! THX for reading.

Good Rpgm game
I'm not a fan of the first but this one is quite improve a lot

- First this is rpgm game so I already expect many filler
and I'm really annoyed in the the prequel game
but this second game is improve a lot on not filler too much

- this game have no slow corruption progress
because it's the plot show that she already corrupt in the prequel version
and in fact I'm not a fan of slow corruption so I'm fine

- the combat is action base that really interesting
change avatar's armored to change skill set is alsome
especially with high quality art drawing

- Cg is quite best to the cover and the scene is good too
the wine brew is the phenomenal for me in term of imagination and writing
not expect that in the first place until I see it

- skip able repeat H scene

con -
- there are many repeat none h scene that have skip able later
but still... I think it can cut off more than skip

- as the game design for Mc to lose
but I still think the enemy got too much hp
make fight too boring if you want to win

- the h scene with sprite is not satisfy
I know it is like side scene that not important
but still when it's not important
it still too long for that

- no add on skip button
you can fasten up the game by default holding Z or click or space bar
but that is not fast enough
for some replay or for scene that you are not interest

Over all
It's quite fun to play
not really got many humor but the drama sex from prequel carry on strong indeed!
You can feel the mc feeling to what's going on and it quite touching
and yes
I play this game for Sofia!
She is really beautiful and hot more than Lilina(first game mc) imo
and that is the reason I play this game even if I'm not like the first
and feel good to try it
