RPGM - Cyberslayers [v0.5.1] [Maelion]

After playing Cyberslayers last night, it is now one of my favorite porn games of all time. I'm going to explain why I think so highly of it, who will enjoy it the most, and how it delivers a good experience despite being an RPGM game.

Cyberslayers is primarily a corruption game set in a dystopian cyberpunk future with heavy themes of misogyny. Women cannot carry guns and Cyberslayers are basically sex bait designed to harvest semen from monsters lmao.

The player plays by making choices for the two FMCs and 'hacking' them or unlocking modules. Actions gain SEXP and SEXP can be combined with various behaviors to unlock more actions and scenes. For example, acting submissively will give submissive blue hearts which can be used in combination with SEXP to unlock nodes on a submissive skill tree.

This system does successfully gameify corruption. There is very mild grind. In maybe five hours of play, I had to replay a single mission a few times to gain SEXP and that's it. Skill trees range from physical to psychology to lust to lewdness to submission.

You can also 'fight' and determine combat outcomes and the combat system is light enough not to distract from the experience.

If you are the type of player who prefers a 'pure' run Cyberslayers accommodates for that. I didn't play the pure route but I think it's probably pretty good.

The characters designs are very good the two FMC are cute. The sex scenes are well executed. The build up and foreplay is strong. The corruption RPG elements are hot. This game delivers good porn and a lot of content.

The player who will enjoy Cyberslayers the most will be someone who enjoys corruption, forced, non-con, and hentai content. There is monster sex and ugly bastard sex (ugly bastard fetish is even a trait lmao). Again, haven't played the pure route, but the full corruption route will appeal to those who like bdsm, forced, mind control, ahegao, mind break, sexual harrasment, groping, and ryona. This game is fairly dark and on the more extreme side of fetishes. It is not a vanilla experience.

I put off playing this game for a long time because of the engine. I hate RPGM. Cyberslayers does not play like a traditional RPGM game. There are no 2D maps you are forced to navigate. Instead, you will get 3D point and click scenes where you can explore and cause different outcomes depending what you do/click/choose. There is a good element of choice in Cyberslayers. Choice feels rewarding.

In terms of downside, the RPG menus are very sensitive. It's easy to misclick or pick the wrong modules and the UI isn't the best. I suggest saving before picking options in the skill tree. There were also a few points (but not many!) where it's not clear what to do in order to complete/trigger missions but I figured them all out eventually without a guide.

Overall, Cyberslayers is an imaginative, low grind high porn RPGM game that plays nothing like an RPGM game. The porn is really the highlight here, as God intended.

Cyberslayers [v0.5]

There are already plenty of solid reviews in the 4–5 star range here, most of which cover much of what I would also say.

This game is a good pick for fans of rape and corruption fetishes. As I understand it, you, the player, take the role of the corruption software PHANTASM (and its predecessor), implanted in the main characters: the heroine Aline and the valkyrie Kassiah. By unlocking traits with points earned through various lewd and non-lewd actions, you gradually corrupt and shape them to their master’s needs. It’s a sandbox-style game that offers some freedom in daily routines and in how you respond to NPCs.

For me, though, it only earns 4 stars because of the outdated visuals. There’s no raytracing, which would have made the images much more appealing. I don’t know which rendering software was used, but the results clearly fall short of today’s standards. The assets are also fairly weak. Female body shapes are nearly identical - Barbie-like, with little variation. Their individuality comes almost entirely from makeup, hair and skin color, hairstyle, and clothing. And due to what I assume are software limitations, there’s little ability to give the models distinct facial expressions or features - leaving them looking like soulless dolls. The scenes themselves are functional but could use more attention to detail. In addition, some of the often-repeated interludes for navigating between locations drag on too long and cannot be skipped.

On the positive side, the sex animations stand out. The movements look very natural (even if overdone), especially the breast jiggle. However, even here variety is lacking. A greater variety of positions and sexual acts would help, as the animations soon become repetitive.

The story fits the premise, so I have no complaints there. The storytelling is solid enough for a game of this type. The only thing I’d change is the pace of corruption. You can already push the heroine to full corruption and hardcore sex early with one lustful NPC, while with another she’s still only at the starting line. That imbalance isn’t a dealbreaker, though - it’s more of a high-level critique, since the player ultimately has control over how fast or slow corruption progresses.

This game is amazing but is held back by a few things. Firstly, I love the art and the corruption with so many avenues and options. It is truly great, and there are quite a bit of choices that change the overall game. It is so good. That said, a few negatives (as of the .5 update):

- The engine chugs a bit and holds back the game. It is really amazing how so much of this runs, but yet the engine clearly is holding it back.
- There is no gallery somehow.
- There is an item you need to unlock corruption paths in the skill tree (or go beyond) and yet only one dropped...somehow...or maybe it unlocked? Point is I used it and then never got another. It isn't a .5 thing either since the other options could be used if I had it. And there is no indication of how I even got the first to begin with. I shouldn't have to try and figure out how to alter files (which I couldnt figure out anyways) to unlock those when everything else is unlocked before that wall block. It drove me crazy until I beat what is in the game...and now to the last point. EDIT: I replayed the game and this wasn't an issue but a rare bug I hit.
- It is incomplete. I know it is a .5 but I spent HOURS playing and really invested, and yet it is incomplete. Shows how good the game is, and how I really want more. When it is completed it will easily be a 10/10 game for everything in it. I can't wait for the main story to keep going. Great work

this is a website for hgames right? this game is too much game and not enough hcontent. there is so much grinding. it is buggy. there should be proper keyboard support. the tutorial literally tells you dont use the keyboard, cuz it will bug out. lame. theres just too much grinding for what it is, and no keyboard use for skipping means you will be adding a million clicks to your mouse while getting barely any hscenes. this is a hard pass from now now, theres no fixing this.

Targets a very specific audience, acts the most typical hentai corruption game but has some kind of (Limited)player agency and feedback on your choices which keeps it interesting somehow

Has potential, i see it but it gets hindered a lot from its RPGM engine by having slow transitions, unable to skip text, unable to skip animations that developer forgot to place a skip choice and overall very slow paced in its gameplay. To get certain points for certain skills, you will have to spend almost a in-game week or more and because of the slow transitions and animations and the lack of text skipping without holding a button. Makes the whole experience really unfriendly to the player.

As for the story.
Ugh, i respect the "fetish" choice. And it is interesting if we look it within moderation. What i am more disgusted though is the extreme show of it, it is like " i really love X, Y things" said by your classmate(s) every time you meet them at your school, i.e every second of a new scene.
"Oh we will raped, watch out you will raped!". Lot of "raping" and domination is the theme here. And almost all men are the same, both in appearance and personality, same applies for the women as well. 1D characters.

But if you ignore all of this, this game has interesting "simulation" life of a cyberpunk heroine. As more content get added, it can spice things up for sure.
i just don't see this loop of "Woman acts arrogantly but once she loses, she becomes a slave or acts slutty like her life was always being slutty".
This sadly applies to the protagonist to extreme levels.
So players who want to avoid the "usual hentai rape or corruption sex" but want to focus on more consensual moments, will be forced to avoid lot of content. That's a good thing in my opinion but that's beside the point.
i just don't think the potential can reach its apex with the targeted fetishes of the creator. One second you leave from A man and you encounter B man who is literally the same as A. And it isn't just that, it is more deeply related, it is an ice berg.

i have played 8 hours sadly, and most of the time is spent on trying to skip text(holding space and tapping space to move stop animations) and collecting points so you can unlock certain skills. Oh, i forgot, the combat. Yes, that's where you also waste time.

The combat, sadly, is random. You either attack your enemy without taunting them for easy quick wins or you taunt them to get "slightly" more bonuses but risk losing the fight based on random chances.
The random chances also apply when you try to ambush certain enemies and given the theme of the game, you will quickload your saves a lot.

At least, maybe the only positive is that you can keep your main protagonist pure by not speccing points into deviancy but what's the point when there is a Ludo narrative dissonance in your main status and whatever happens in "raping" scenes

In summary.
A worthwhile game to play for story if you ignore certain things but i hope that slow flow of the RPGM will be fixed as it tortures multiple playthroughs, fast playthroughs or repeated playthroughs because of save deletion.

I am shocked by the game (in a good way) from the amount of content in everything!!! The engine (physics) is slightly better than in real life I am a little confused by their (that is, the main characters) ease of access, which is not justified from the very beginning of the game, but I closed my eyes to this because of the dynamics in general! (I hope I did not write stupid things, I tried to be to the point) Thank you and enjoy the game

I say this a lot but this is a strange game.

I can't, in good conscious give it anything less than four stars for the sheer amount of work that's been poured into this, and it's clearly a labour of love from the dev.

I'll start with the pros
-Scenes are extremely hot, if you like arrogant and powerful women being brought low, corruption and rough sex, this is for you.

-Decent variety of fetishes, most vanilla sex acts you can think of are present, vaginal, oral, anal, titfucks, even some more exotic stuff like gangbangs and bukkake. I'm actually very surprised there's no watersports, this feels like the sort of game that would have it featured prominently, but that's the Devs buisness

-Despite everything else, the main girls look good and are both very attractive

-The modular progression, it's cool to be able to shape the character how you like, although there's some downsides to it to.

-Choices matter, the game reacts to your choices and actually remembers them, or course, there's a limit to this, and most people are just going to chose the lose and have sex option everytime, but it's cool that there's a lot of choice, and your character build is well integrated as part of it.

-The lore is consistent and interesting, despite the premise being absurd, and the story telling is pretty good for a porn game.

Cons:

- RPGM, now, I say this as someone who loves RPGmaker titles like the last sovereign, but this game simply should have been in renpy. I get that the whole modular upgrade system works easily in RPGmaker but it can be done in renpy as well, and this game simply doesn't benefit from being in this archaic engine.

-The combat. It's bad, essentially, the enemy monster will either be scared, or aggressive, they tend to start scared unless you provoke them. If they're scared, you can just spam attack on the monster and instantly win. If they're aggressive, you're highly likely to lose. There's some nuance to it, but it's just not interesting, and would be better served as a simple binary win/lose choice, like the game does in several other encounters (and you could drop RPGmaker for no more terrible turn based combat)

-It's more or less entirely rape content, this is part of the premise, so I'm not gonna dock points for this or anything, but it's worth noting.

-The backgrounds and most characters make your eyes bleed. I don't want to be too harsh here because I have stray incubus a 5/5 despite the same issue, but christ, I've seen more pixels on a tamogatchi than in some of these textures.

-The corruption: Initially, I was excited that the game would be a rather slow burn forced corruption of the characters as they progress, but in reality, it's entirely optional, and entirely in the players control, don't make corrupting decisions, or do, you're never forced to spend the points to unlock more corruption. On one hand this allows total control of your playthrough, but on the other hand it's annoying because it's not really corruption if I'm just checking boxes to make her a slut.

-Another point on the lack of corruption and progression, most people who play this game are simply going to ensure they lose every major boss fight (which has minor story impacts and results in a hardcore sex scene), without long term consequences. For a game about corruption arrogant women this doesn't really work, because they're basically constantly losing against everything but the small fry enemy you farm for currency, you just end up in a spot where you're being treated like a super powered ninja and you're actually just a walking sex toy, which would be hot, if it wasn't so narratively dissonant, I find myself torn between winning fights for narrative reasons and losing for the excellent scenes. This is especially apparent on scenes where you can't win by losing (a lot of the time, for plot reasons, if you lose and get raped you still *win* because you got the semen you were after anyway, just, not the way you intended). It's just annoying because this game makes such a big point of 'pride before the fall' except you're constantly falling and your pride is always intact.

-Lack of a gallery. One would be really nice to have.

Hidden gem on website with 20+ hours of gameplay/content. This is one of the best corruption games I have played. The story is good, the scenes for most part are hot and there is gradual corruption with tension build up.

The downsides.
1. This game has a lot of content, but as much as it has, it has as much unfinished quest lines/parts. By feeling it is about half way to the end, which looking at the game year of first release would mean another 4-5 years of development..
Hitting the "quest is work in progress tag"or a location that you are told to go but that is completely empty is never pleasant.

2. Graphics and engine is outdated, there is no gallery, skill tree is great but it is uncomfortable to slide through. Models could be better, higher resolution?. There is little variety to monsters and main quest line. A lot of action is in the sidequests.

3. There are multiple bugs, the worst one is save bug, which I played the whole time with, makes it 10 seconds long to either save or load the game.

Author should really move to new engine and consider higher quality renders/different software for it.

The premise is really good, there is a ongoing battle between cyberslayers (questionable) powerful organization that develops valkyries as its fighters and fights against dark monsters, to collect dark matter (a form of energy). Monsters on other hand, crave valkyries juices (another form of energy).

It kind of reminds jedi vs sith conflict. Then it is battle sex with gradual corruption and heroine has to win and keep control of herself while extracting energy from monsters.

The story/writing/text is good to a point that it is possible to read and take time playing without skipping. This is one of the few games where you can read text and not feel like wasting time reading senseless garbage.

Fighting is not bad but it could have been reworked/improved to be honest, the main problem is that as your heroine grows stronger nothing really changes in fighting, moreover the lack of variety of enemies and scenes plays a role.

I liked the dominated vs controlled areas. Some fresh thinking there adding another layer to the game.

This game gets a grudging 4 stars because of the sheer amount of work put into systems and world building. As a porn game, this only gets 2, though, because the controls and renders aren't great which chase the hornies away.

The good:
The world building is really consistent, robust and credible (past the initial suspension of disbelief on the premises, which are very idiotic, but no more than any superhero flick). The story built in it makes sense given those assumptions.
The progression systems and character development dynamics are robust, and really make sense within the universe.

The bad:
The model renders are rather ugly, with plastic skin, contorted facial expressions and stilted poses. This would be fine for a 2018 game, but not nowadays. And that definitely takes away from the jilling potential of the scenes.
The dialogues are rather primitive and unsubtle, though it's hard to expect more given the pulp nature of the story and world.
And the UI / game controls are really clunky and hard to follow (finding icons that nearly disappear in the render artefacts of the backgrounds gets hard on my eyes)

The ugly:
RPGM.
Seriously, why go through the trouble of using a clunky, expensive and dated engine, when you are going to use NONE of its features? This game is entirely built out of background pictures with areas to click on them. None of the mapping, navigation and combat systems of RPGM are used, and barely any part of its character management.
This really should be remade in Ren'Py, i am sure that would be much easier to develop into, and it would definitely be easier to play.

I initially tried this game in 1st release and it looked to complicated and too fast to deliver smut. Then I largely forgot about it. Then I came back in 0.42.2 and boy, oh boy! One of best games of this kind on the website! Even if it does not deliver as much of "B" and "SM" as I like - full 5 stars! Kudos to Maelion for delivering great game! Can't wait for 0.43!

This game is my all time pinnacle of the corruption fetish. It captures the dialogue and characterization of the genre so god damn well. The story is well done, the gameplay seems to focus on the sluttification but honestly I've never been tempted to explore a virgin run. If the bimbo-esque looks are good with you and corruption/brainwashing is your thing you cannot miss out.

god dame, this game is underrated, I can't wait to share it with others. Although it looks like a 3DCG game made with Illsion's engine, the rendering is very good and very immersive. The author also has a good control of the game's rhythm, and it's great to let the player experience the heroine's gradual degradation. We need more public humiliation, pet games... I want to forget the memory of this game now and play it again when the game is completed. Player from China.

In the Ocean of Incest games, this one is a refreshing and unique gem.
Yes, it has the Ugly Fat Bastard kink but that for me is not a turn-off.

What I like about it:
- Story - not too complicated, with moderately long dialogs
- Fresh girl designs that we haven't seen from other creators
- CyberPunk setup which I like a lot
- Cheeky and humorous lines
- Last but not least - Big Booobies!

What I dislike:
- some events are too repetitive, more skipping options would be awesome
- too much not-working content, I think it will be better if something shows up later to be excluded from a release, because like that it leaves a sense of unfinished game
- some bugs that are still present in the game - screen freeze w/o active buttons on-screen, text constantly in a loop or skipping fast forward

This game is INCREDIBLY good.

+ There are a lot of things to do,
+ your choices matters,
+ the combat system is non-trivial nor too complicated
+ you can choose to remain pure (and still have sexy fun times) or go full corruption
+ overall great game design

five star deserved because we need more games like this!

There are, in my opinion, some minor flaws:
- RPGM as a game engine is not the right choice. Renpy would make much more sense (IMHO)
- there are some transition scene which are too long and unskippable, so you waste a lot of time looking at the train in the underground station for example or at a black screen.
- the maps are not easy to navigate, so i waste time finding the right places.
- there are a lot of tags missing in the game thread, this makes it difficult to find the game and could expose people to unwanted scenarios.

Amazing game, wish you the best in development.
I didn't face issues with any bugs (I mean that they weren't breaking), EXCEPT one bug... in the bar quest line, there was an event where we seduce the silent guy (I think his name was Joey) then he rape us in the toilet/changing room and we become his slave. after that event, I cannot even start the bar work event, Immediately after changing clothes the scene of Joey's rape starts again from the beginning. hope this bug is fixed next patch, everything else is amazing. I loved the writing the most. very good writing and description for the events. And I loved how deep the game is with so many methods to go through it, and each affect the dialog! even the tiniest of decisions can change the dialog slightly, which comes back to the point of how good the writing is.

EDIT: apparently, the bug i mentioned above is fixed and I just needed to download the fixpatch in the first page... tehhe ig? anyway, after downloading the fix patch that bug is no more and the game is working properly. AMAZING GAME!

Normally I hate RPG maker games due to the grind and clunky movement. However this game is amazing. It has a good mix of content aproaches and events that add to a the fun of it.
Next time I play I may just try a purer path to see what that is like.

Well worth a play.

This game is insane. I can only give it a 5-star because of the limitation. It might be a model for all RPGM porn games focusing on female protagonist.

1. Beautiful female characters
2. A fantastic story in a cyperpunk background
3. Great music, animation, clothes, and other elements
4. sexy scene and events
5. RPGM engine but much easier to play
6. Straight for pornography, not wasting time in writing bullshit plots

Play as a innocent girl in the begining, and you can try struggling with inner corrupted mind to stay pure, or just give in it to enjoy pleasure, making yourself molest by disgusting male characters, losing all dignity. That's what female protagonist and corruption are fascinating.

This game is not finished, so I might revisit this review.

I won't list all of the good and bad things, just those that stood out to me.

The good:
- Time saving features: you can click on an object to fast travel and skip some repeat actions (like putting on cop clothes).
- Kinky scenarios: porn can be really repetitive. But at the same time porn consumers don't need that much variety or novelty. Cyberslayers isn't entirely original with its set up and development of porn scenarios, but it does the right things just enough to feel very fresh.
- Clear direction of plot without bloat: I like that the number of plot-relevant characters is kept low, and the direction of plot is straightforward. Better this than adding 20 characters with complex relationships and a messy plot trying to connect all the dots. Here we know the factions, the conflict, and the way to advance.
- Dialogues change according to your stats and choices: this is a very important feature in 'corruption journey' games like this one.

The not so good: these things don't really bother me that much, but I still want to point them out
- Repetition of sex scenes: I see it a lot with devs who use honey select. At the same time I know the dev for this one has limited time and resources, so I can't really expect fully customized scenes (instead of cookie cutter honey select stuff)
- Side quests feel too self-contained: okay this might feel like an odd thing to complain about since side quests are by definition optional and don't have to be linked to the main plot. Still it's kind of weird to see the heroine gets broken in side quest and this fact does not really change how she behaves in the main quest or in other side quests. Like girl you have been made into a sex pet three times now why do you still have arrogant dialogue lines

Cyberslayers is really good in all the right ways. The character models are great, the fetishes are great and the scenes are so good. I only wish the skipping function worked better. It can be slow to get through scenes sometimes

Okay this game has the x factor. There is something with the way it does it scene that just gets your heart racing.

Most games can create fancy graphics and cool story lines but at the end of the day if doesn't have that x factor, all of those things simply feel arbitrary.

The team who put this together really know what they are doing and they seem to really put a lot of time into making sure that the scenes just feel right and get you excited yet not quite sure how the next scene will play out.

The application of the corruption mechanic and how they incorporated the level up system into that in this game is perhaps one of the top notch in the industry in my opinion.

Absolute genius and every release they make just makes me realize what a mistake it was that I slept on this game for so long.

Only issue I have would probably that the on banner here doesn't do justice to the game. It doesn't reflect just how good or how comprehensive it is.

Keep up the great work and thanks for the recent release.
