RPGM - Cyberslayers [v0.5] [Maelion]

An entertaining and promising cyberpunk RPG with a non-con corruption theme, though the "RPG" aspect is rather compromised, as I will explain.

+ Ambitious character customization system. There are dozens upon dozens of skills to pick up, all of which affect the game at some point in some way. Many add dialogue choices, others unlock actions, then there are combat moves. etc.

+ Two playable characters with different mechanics. Aline is the primary character, and as a fresh-faced recruit she's basically a blank slate in terms of corruption options. Kassiah is a veteran slayer who already comes pretty heavily corrupted and you can additionally set her starting disposition ("pure" or "arrogant bitch"). She also has her own Debauchery mechanic. Her disposition influences some scenes and thereby indirectly influences Aline.

+ Free-play mode with various options for how to pass the day. In the latest update, a sort of sandbox-mode is enabled, though currently pretty sparse. It's very welcome to be able to advance at your own pace after hours of plot and tutorials.


- Confusing terminology at first. The sheer number of terms at the start of the game is overwhelming. You open your RPGM menu and instead of "item", "status" and "equipment", you see... words like "Slayer Soul", "Phantasm" and "Evil Mind". Combined with the plot, world lore and minor things like the card system, it can be a bit much, but thankfully there are tutorial messages for everything.

- The gameplay is an illusion. Now, this can be a disappointment if you're expecting a proper RPG with challenging combat. From what I could tell, the combat is essentially driven by choices and RNG, rather than game mechanics. You can win every battle with ease just by attacking. Beyond that there are the "arrogant" options. Basically a cocky Slayer can provoke enemies to get more rewards. This actually makes enemies dangerous in that they will often hit, and the Slayer will now often miss. This all seems to be RNG though. I guess the idea is to make it unpredictable whether you will win after provoking an enemy, or whether the MC will end up having to submit or get raped. I guess in that sense, it works, but I wouldn't exactly call this a serious combat system.

- Slow engine at times. Well, I don't know if RPGM is to blame, but some slides/images can take a few seconds to progress. In all, the game can feel clunky. On the bright side, this is a version of RPGM that allows mouse-control for almost everything, though you'll still need your keyboard for the skill screen (Phantasm).

- Grindable and not mutually-exclusive skills. Essentially, you can get every skill in the same playthrough, which undermines the RPG aspect. If every skill is an option and they can all be unlocked at once, why even have a skill system in the first place, right? If the resources (SEXP, various unlock points) were limited in number over a playthrough, it could work. Similarly, if some skills were mutually-exlusive (e.g. having to choose between arrogant and submissive skills) it could also have some meaning. As it is, all that prevents the player having total freedom is a big grind.

- Fast-travel is not available. Well, it's not a huge issue yet as the free-play mode is relatively new, but I kind-of groan internally every time I have to go from the police station to the hotel room: leave the office and click past multiple screens to go get changed to civilian clothing, then leave the police station, then go through the molester subway, then enter the hotel and get past the landlord. A typical sandbox hassle, but a "go home and end the day" option would be nice to have.

- Almost every male character is a fat ugly bastard, a monster, a rapist or some combination thereof (fat ugly rape monster! a.k.a. the Ghoul enemy). There are some characters/future love interests who don't fit that mould, including some other female bombshells and ONE straight-laced pretty-boy type, but the sex basically comes down to MC being molested, raped, and/or dommed by said fat ugly bastard pig monsters, or else MC teasing, domming and milking them. So you'd better be into that; it's all but unavoidable.

Woah, such a beautiful game, the map and location is very very future-ish styled, and the girl are gorgeous too, will waiting for more update
The game is heavy sure, and buggy, but the graphics and the system is very good, the skill system, manually triggered event system (pentagram), is very good too, hope this wont be abandoned

BRUH. this game is amazing. Got me hooked for hours the first time I startet it. Great world building for a porn game and the visuals just click really fast. The heroine can be shaped to become a real slut or be a arrogant bitch. U can explore some maps and find stuff as well.

DON`T think of this as a typicall RPGM game, because as peepz said before this feels more like a Renpy game.
I went for the submissive route most of the time so far, because i was afraid i would miss some scenes, but I would like to see her being confidant/arrogant AND want the sex more. That would be the icing on the cake.

Great game for lovers of groping, humiliation, rape, submission, bukakke/facials and corruption.

- Pro:
- Mature good looking female char, with gorgeous body
- Scenes and portrayal of sperm in good quality
- Already (dec 2021) a lot of content and scenes
- Absolutely great corruption choices (you can make her submissive really fast) and you even got al kinds of sex talents that unlock content
- It is a joy to let her choose one submissive option after another and loose fight so she gets raped
- Good balance between her becoming a submissive slut and being forced
- Almost NO grinding; plays very un-rpg like in a good way

- Con:
- Nothing much except that the talent/inventory/character screens are very cluncky and it took me a while to realise there are options beyond what is displayed that you need to scroll to (there are more talent trees than meets the eye)

Really a game that I desperately want to be finished fast. Can't wait.

If you like it, also try the other title from this maker (chronicles of Lerida I think it's called)

Ignore the RPGM tag as this is pretty much a Renpy game.

Good amount of content as of 3.1 (played about 6 hours).

Dialogue is good if except for the odd typo here and there.

Well paced gameplay with scenes around every corner with no real grind.

Story is a bit similar to the Taimanin Asagi games with a big focus on corrupting the main girls with a decent amount of choices as far as submission or bitchy behaviour. Copious amounts of ugly bastards (character models are based on Honey Select after all) so avoid if that isn't your thing.

Could have a classic on our hands here.

I love this game! Sexy young women with an arrogant attitude being corrupted step by step? Hell yeah! Maelion puts lots of attention on details. There are some minor issues with the language, but the rest is very well-rounded. Can't wait for this game to evolve and to see, how the slayers get more and more corrupted, turning into living sex dolls lusting for those, they would normally reject. <3

Awesome game. Love the story, the choice options, the style. A lot of time and thought clearly went into this. There is some grind to it for the skill tree, but nothing out of proportion. Plus, the options / path for future updates looks really cool! Also, on a side note, the dev communicates really well. Very honest and very involved in the community around the game, for me, that's also a big plus. Can't wait to play more . 10/10, give it a try guys, I'm sure you'll like it! For me, it's very addictive and it's well in my top 3 favorite games here.

Greetings, KB.

[v0.3b]

I'm not good at this review thing,so I will just post my thoughs.Not going to separate into cons and pros,because what I think is good may be bad for someone else and viceversa.

-Hard to believe it's a RPGM game.The game have custom... everything,even some music made by the author.
-The game is point and click system and have some sequences of images that makes you feel you are watching a cinematic movie.
-The author makes a good job creating a solid world and history,even if still is in early development.You can see he cares about lore.
-The combat is fun,turn based with a clothing break system,and different outcomes where the girls struggle between dominating or being dominated (ending in rape).
-Some monsters are uglier than most are comfortable to see,and takes time to get used to look at.
-A lot of skills to learn,for combat,opening new options in already visited areas or with npcs.
-May be overwhelming at first to understand all tutorials.
-After some time you will be able to free roam and explore different areas of the game with day/evening/night rutine and repeatable job missions.
-The sexyness of the girls is off the charts,and if you enjoy arrogant girls fall into submission (or the girls dominating,that's possible too) you are totally going to enjoy this.
- Nice animations in sex scenes,that's always good to see,not just static images.

I loved the game so far,and I'm sure it will become a lot better because Maelion works on it everyday,proving how much he is invested in his work,that kind of passion for something is hard to see this days.

If you're into what this game is mainly about, you should consult a specialist. I'll see you there, in the waiting room.

Graphics: Peculiar, love or hate, nothing in between. There's a certain clunkiness to the general design, everything is turned up to eleven. I personally adore the style, it's fresh and different from the standard 3dcg in other games.

Story: Surprisingly believable for a porn game. There's little middle ground between troglodizing the story for lewd content and forcing lewd content to a good story, where it just doesn't fit. This game threads the needle, porn is seamlesly integrated into a world you can actually believe without rolling your eyes too often.

Gameplay: Hard to say, main loops are still missing. Hopefuly we can avoid the situation from Chronicles of Leridia, where towards the endgame your character would get so powerful, you had to wait for hours to see the defeat scene just skipping rounds and helplessly watching hopeless enemies chipping away at your HP pool. From what can be seen so far, there are at least a couple of workarounds for that in Cyberslayers, so I'm keeping my hopes up (like buffing enemies with taunts, surrenders etc.).

Character development is fantastic, however one of the very basic tips would be to use your keyboard while navigating the menus. There's a lot more options hidden, that you can't get to with a mouse both sideways and below.

The meat: Yep, it's good. Damn, I'm going to hell for that, but fuck, it's good. And it's good both ways, you don't have to compromise between kicking ass and sucking dick, so no, this is not the standard "get defeated and raped" game. It's really an improvement over CoL in that regard, where you had to save, watch the defeat scene, game over, reload and beat the shit out of whatever raped you last time.

Fap factor: Here's where the game could suck depending on your playstyle. If you want to edge yourself into oblivion and take care of it later, it's going to do fine. However if you want to, let's say, release the tension during gameplay, it's not really all that great. The animated parts (awesome as they are) are short and interjected with dialogues (awesome as they are), that pause the animations and have to be clicked through. Yes, you can repeat, but clicking repeat once every five seconds and skipping through five dialogue lines isn't necessarily what you'll want to be doing in that situation.

Adding loops and the ability to autoplay scenes with a "finish" button to click when ready would be a great improvement in this department. Another would be dialogues showing during animations (without interrupting them) and adding animated "finish" scenes (they're just renders atm).

Summary: A great game I already rate at 5/5 with potential to redefine what 5/5 means for me. An absolute must play for all degenerates.

Played on 0.3b

Recommendation level: Exclusively rape fantasies, if that's your thing, go for it.

++ Animations
++ High effort
++ Unique corruption system
+ Decent renders
+ Player agency

--- Terrible user interface
- Writing/spelling/grammar could improve
- Awkward stances/character models
- Weird random voice lines (????)

Comment: This one barely slipped under 5 stars because of the cons mentioned above., sometimes it feels like I'm battling the user interface more than the actual monsters in the game. The game is also missing some tags and the most glaring ones I can think of at the top of my head is v.sex, a.sex, g.sex and monsters. If you enjoyed Chronicles of Leridia you will enjoy this game, despite the change in setting and non-RPGM elements, the game is still in early development so if lack of content is your peeve I'd wait a little longer before you give it a go.

If this game could get a Ren'py makeover it would definitely get a 5 star score.

Both the art and gameplay feel much improved compared to Chronicles of Leridia, and CoL was already one of my favorite games. Can't wait to see what Maelion has in store for Cyberslayers in the future!

What can I say other than that this is a great game. There's a lot less content compared to CoL but the game more than makes up for it with the higher quality animations and effects. I'd say the corruption system is a bit too fast though, especially when compared to CoL. Aline can turn slutty VERY quickly depending on your choices. Corrupted morals can be very exciting but it should make sense within the context of the character and story.

[0.3a]
Ok, so for now this may not be actually a 5* game, but knowing this developer and the current state of the project I'm sure as hell it will naturally evolve into one. Compared to Chronicles of Leridia, Maelion's another game, there is a huge leap in quality: scenes are animated (and very smoothly animated I might add), characters are more fleshed out,world is pretty original and the climate is simply amazing. Storywise it's pretty good, kinda generic cyberpunk cop story but with smut integrated so naturally that I cannot really complain. Mechanics are WAY less grindy, which however may ba a small minus, but more on this later. Neither this game nor CoL are within my kinks, as I am notparticularly fond of ugly bastards or rape but damn, the delivery makes it just too hot to ignore. So far there isn't really much content but the one there is is interesting. Fighting is fun, even if easy and simple to the point of almost trivial, renders are amazing and original, humour is nice and I have so many things I want to see more of. Especially I wonder how pregnancy will be handled as there is currently a stat concerning it. Also, the bad ends not being actual ends and just having consequences in the game world are awesome. Oh and the fact that you may miss stuff depending on the way you levelled up your character? Amazing. Rarely anyone includes this. But now for the worse parts: corruption is reaaaally quick. Both main characters are into ugly bastards from the get-go and you can start levelling up the submission and lust from the very beggining, which limits the grind to the minimum but at the same time feels a bit rushed. Of course, you can just not do this but the possibility is here and using it makes the characters feel a bit artificial. Aside from this however I don't really have much to complain about except for the fact that I can't wait for the next update. Another game from my favourite dev is here and I want all of it ASAP!
tl;dr
+Hot
+Little grinding
+Choices matter
+CLIMATE
-A bit too fast corruption
-Is not finished and I want to play for hours

Cyberslayers is an ambitious cyber punk style game, with a evolved version of the corruption mechanics from the authors previous work, Chronicles of Leridia.
As of current content, you are able to begin several paths, as well as have the ability to utilise skills that can open up further options for exploration of both the environments you encounter and the people. Even in its early state, the game has a fair bit of world building, ala CoL, and plenty of situations to find yourself in. Combat in the game is different from the standard rpg fare, but enjoyable none the less. This is obviously a game that a lot of time and care has gone into, and I'll be interested to see how future updates are handled.

Loved his previous game Chronicles of Leria, but this one takes the cake, the art is on a whole other level. Has a detailed corruption and submission/arrogance system.

Can't wait for future updates. Good stuff.

[V .2] Below, I've repurposed my "in thread" comment to serve as a review, after minor edits to the text.

*****

I'd give this 4/5 stars - very ambitious scope, and the execution is mostly there.

First up - the level of responsiveness to player choices (big and small), the attention to detail and "edge cases" are all first-class. Several times I found myself wondering "hey, if I do this, will the game notice or acknowledge it?" - and almost always the answer was "yes!"

This is a limited sample - but if the author even comes close to delivering that level of reactivity and detail over the course of the entire game, it would be incredibly impressive.

Details below:

Best game out imo, ticks all the boxes for me (although some incest would be sweet).

Really good balance of dialogue and animations. enough dialogue to push the story along without going overboard.

huge step up from COL, the dev has really grown and improved. A+++ game

I really enjoy this game and I hope they add a lot more tags to it. I am the type of person who wants everything in a game and I know that's a ton and I mean tons of work but pregnancy and hucow stuff, as well as drug use/manipulation or just more variety in what's possible... I think, would draw in more people willing to support the game via Patreon. I found it on here but I may be willing to pay for it at some point. If I like a game I always pay for it and then contact them and offer my help. As long as the main bitch be bimboin it up im game.

First of all, graphics, the looks of this game are incredible, It s apparentely rpgm but trust me, I ve played a lot of crappy rpgm graphic games before, this one s got looks for days, UNBELIEVABLY short but so very worth it, definetely give it a try yall

Very deep intro and detailed tutorial.
Great combat system - pretty simple, and versatile.
Very hot scenes and main characters!
Great narrative and influence of skills on dialogues. Great location design.
