    Just a warning for anyone considering this game - it's not actually a complete story. It ends right at the start of "The Ordeal" of a typical Hero's Journey (basically like the middle of Act 2 in a 3 Act production). So it's clearly set up for a sequel.

    That aside, it's surprisingly well-done.

    The heroines are all diverse and fairly well designed/written. There are a LOT of H scenes with quite a bit diversity, though they do start wearing thin towards the last third of the game or so, and the situations start getting increasingly zany to try to maintain interest. The scenes themselves are serviceable - pretty typical Japanese style CGs, using a single overall pose with some movements/expressions.

    The story is, as mentioned above, a typical Hero's Journey. It's decently written overall, but a very by-the-book interpretation of this narrative structure - so don't expect any particularly interesting surprises or twists aside from it including H. The translation is surprisingly alright for MTL - it's likely edited by someone who has at least a passing understanding of both English and Japanese (though story aside, some UI stuff has missing translations).

    The biggest problem narratively is that the protagonist is implied to be weak no matter how much you grind or how much you upgrade your weapons/skills and such. This leads to some ludonarrative dissonance, where others will call the protagonist weak, even if you've farmed and crafted a bunch, and have them more effective in the RPG combat system than some characters who are considered to be strong.

    This also leads to multiple "impossible to win" combat encounters throughout the game, where you will automatically be defeated after a few turns no matter what - this is an annoying mechanic in games in general, especially when handled poorly like this. The game could really use some events with alternative paths if you manage to win (like "whoa, you managed to beat them!?" kinds of situations) - it would provide some level of pay-off for those who engage in the gameplay systems more.

    I'm not usually a big fan of RPG/sandbox H games. That said, this game actually handles things pretty well - these are some of the main points on gameplay:
    • Travel around the world is quick and low-hassle. Where you need to travel to see new events is clearly labelled.
    • It has 2 combat modes:
      • A typical RPG menu-based system, where you can granularly select all actions. This is used for the more challenging combat encounters.
      • A simplified auto-combat system, which has a lot of convenience features (it can basically be configured like an AFK game if you want). This is used for dungeon crawling and farming resources/experience.
      • Technically there's a 3rd "combat" mode, but it's more of an H minigame, which is used to get points required to unlock skills.
    • Progression feels a bit grindy, but not overly so thanks to the convenience features. I found it fairly easy to gear and level the characters sufficiently such that I could run the dungeon combat system in AFK-mode.
    • The crafting system is pretty simple, and doesn't feel overly tedious, though the UI could use a bit of improvement.
    As a whole, I'd recommend the game if you're looking for a fantasy adventure harem H game with VN elements, and enjoy, or at least don't mind, some light RPG/crafting elements.

    Side Note:

    For anyone wondering about the Pregnancy tag - it's mostly just one-off "What If?" scenarios. The main heroines can get pregnant from a minigame - it takes you to a short ending featuring a single pregnant H scene with that girl, then the game takes you back to where you'd be if you had completed the minigame without impregnating them.

    It's pretty heavily implied in dialogue that all the main heroines want to get pregnant, so if the story gets completed in a sequel, it will likely have an ending featuring it with all of them. And the game already has you covered if you tend to like "impregnation dialogue".

    There is also a single side heroine who does get pregnant as part of the story in this game already, with a couple pregnant H scenes.

    Firstly, it's a game! Not a VN in disguise... Even though.... Yeah
    There are cool mechanics and gameplay. Some are under exploited (body inspection, battle fuck), others are too grindey (looting materials to make armors and weapons and sell them) and some quests are just exhausting!

    Putting aside all the dungeon crawling quests, AKA "kill these mobs", "inspect these locations", or "speak to X or Y" because they exist.
    The worst ones are "View all H-scenes of this character before X quest". And the characters have 20 H-scenes! Like what!
    And most of them are re-use CG with little variations. I just skip them. Like come on. I didn't come here to view a CG and read a wall of text. And most of the time they just talk to say nothing!
    And those quests are split into 2 for each female lead. First part 20 H-scenes to view, second part 6 H-scenes.... Why did they split them like that?

    Really, the pacing is just awful. The first hours of the game, you practically have 0 H-scenes or intimate interactions with the girls, except those lazy, stupid and awful trope scenes of the protagonist sliding over nothing or tripping over nothing and landing on the boobs of a girl or undressing her completely or putting his cock in her mouth, cunt, ass, boobs and ejaculating at the same time.... AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH
    SUCH A BORING AND LAZY WAY TO START A H-SCENE.

    It's not funny when they do it on these ecchi harem anime or like they like to call them ROM-COM and here it's the same, BORING.
    And they repeat those scenes multiple times and the same ones multiple times! ARRRGHGHHH!
    And the protagonist just looks stupid and dumb, I just want to punch his face!

    Finally, the story is.... existent. Anime tier story... A bad Anime story. It's just a pretext for the protagonist to fuck a bunch of girls until he knocks them up.
    THE END.

    Solid 5 from me.

    - very good artstyle and graphics
    - sexy girls and good H scenes
    - easy but fun enough gameplay to be engaging
    - generic japanese medieval-fantasy setting and story, but again done well enough to be interesting, even thought there is a lot of reading i fast read most of it and enjoyed it


    While its not best of the best H games i definitely see it around 4,5 score and im suprised it doesnt have higher rating, people rate some lame ai slops higher but when there is decent game its below 4, funny.

    I played this because of how much I enjoyed Demon Lord's Harem from this dev, and I didn't expect this much of great stuff.

    1. I'll start with the best, I actually cried when I read the story line of Levy and Shia, I haven't been moved by the story from a game offering itself as nukige before. Find out yourself, I'm not spoiling it.
    2. The second thing is the gameplay mechanic, I thought it'll be hastily made card game using Unity but its actually deep enough I actually enjoyed it to the point I almost forgot the grind of getting material and leveling Eden and the heroines to level 50 sometimes.
    3. H-scene is as expected from their previous game, well made and voiced (during scene only, not as sprite interaction), though it doesn't come as perfect, which also brings me to the weakness
    What I found underwhelming however...
    1. Story sometimes feels overstayed its welcome sometimes, I even skipped some of H-scene just so I can continue. Not to mention how sometimes the inconsistency of the translation is a bit of letdown that's still at acceptable level.
    2. Translation also didn't covers everything outside interaction, but you can live with it just fine.
    3. The upgrade mechanics are also a bit confusing as you sometimes need to figure out what's lacking to upgrade the tools .
    4. The plot can feel both interconnected and disconnected sometimes If you fail to make contract with some of the heroine before the others, so I suggest you focus on any flags from 1st heroine (the dragon) first for the sake of continuity.
    I guess that's all I can say. Trust me I'm not using the tissue for sperm, I'm sobbing here!

    Few things to note before you start playing this game: There's futa, loli, pregnancy, milking, and some slight tentacles. if that doesn't bother you, carry on then.

    STORY 3.5/5
    Basically, the story Involves a Merchant Blacksmith that sells Weapons/talismans and discovers that he has special powers which helps him to get Powerful and Hot Heroines(Called Kamiiro) to fight by his side while also having sex to bond with them.
    I'm warning you though as the story wasn't finished and there's a massive cliffhanger at the end that you feel empty why It ended too soon. I ended up grinding till they're max and I was forced to use only certain characters especially at the ending and there's also some forced defeat which really pissed me off.

    GAMEPLAY 4.5/5
    As for the gameplay you actually play the role of the merchant. Buy supplies, grind yourself in dungeons, get materials, smith them into weapons, sell them, then upgrade your forge or enhance your current equipment you know the drill.
    What makes it unique for me as the grind itself was pretty autonomous unlike in the usual RPGs where you have to choose whether to atk, def etc. This one just follows the auto battles on common mobs and has standard battles during Story Battles only which really saves time and not being awfully repetitive.
    There's also RNG when it comes to enhancements and has Sex Battles which imitates Interactive Sex gameplay but it was awfully implemented.
    Other than that, there's
    Time, Weekday, and Safe days mechanic so you can decide if you want to impregnate your heroines and that's that.

    H-CONTENT 5/5
    Definitely a 5/5. Voice Acting is off the charts and The Art was very beautifully implemented. There are only a few repetitions between CGs.
    Let me remind you though that this game is NOT ANIMATED as switching between 2 pictures to make it look like there's movement and also not looped is not animation. it is more like PSEUDO ANIMATED.
    What I like most about the H-Scenes is that there's ALOT. There's 24-32 H Scenes per Heroine(4 heroines) and there's bonus 31 H Scenes from other characters which really makes it a great H Game for me. Unlocking them also is very easy once you've progressed a bit and contracted them, you get tons of H Scenes to see immediately and you get to have fun with them during dungeon raids.

    Overall, If you like the games Art Style from the pictures, you should definitely play it! I'm giving it 5 Stars because despite the hiccups, it's overall a great H game and definitely a must have if you want a different style of RPG game.

    Divinely Colored Maiden ~The Over-selling Colorful Merchant~ [v.1.0.6]

    Man im pissed off by this game so much, ive been grindig as hard as i can and minmax everything and 100% all quest just to see sucks ending. man massive let down, deserve -2 rating for how annoying the game is for giving you massive cliff and no matter how hard you grind you just get trampled for the sake of story.

    The story is about mc who likes to make talisman weapon, basically a merchant. the guy has special ability to make contract with girls but weak as fuck, you'll see if you played it. Anyway the mc is quite flat generic guy that has no backbone, want to protect people and think talisman can bring peace.

    Combat is alright, can be challening also can be grindy, no general direction to where general direction is for certain item, but this game can be quite grindy for some people. for me personally its nothing compared to Kamidori Alchemy Meister its worse.

    The hentai content however, it was superb, sex sex everywhere each character has 40+ scenes not to mention side girl or npc having sex with other npc, has voice and you can have sex battle too trying to impregnate them. it was awesome! it has sex level too, again everything sucks here, so i thought there's gonna be more, instead sex stat capped to 3x cum only. You can have sex in dungeon too so its not dull grinding.

    Pros
    +
    I can fap to this
    + Good art
    + Voiced
    + Lots of sex
    + not quite grindy because you can have sex when bored.

    Cons
    -
    Censored
    - Story sucks, you have to wait for part II enjoy the cliffhanger

    TL;DR: If you interested to have sex with yandere, loli, stuck up and oneesans but dont mind the bit of grind and the sucks story, by all means, this is very recommended. By god i hope we'll see part II really soon otherwise i'd forgot the story.

    This is like a good meal stretched out with a bucket of sawdust.

    The porn is good. I like Daijyobi's art, and this is significantly more vanilla than some of their other titles. The girls are all exquisitely voluptuous (although there's a lot of emphasis on one girl not having her periods yet despite having giant knockers). Their asses deform while getting ploughed, they're all super eager (eventually), and there's a bunch of kissing and lovey-dovey sex. If this was a CG set or something it'd be right up my alley. The porn is definitely good.

    And then there's everything else.

    The player character is a merchant who has some kind of special ability to better get materials from monsters and use that to craft superior items. This leads to an extremely basic merchant system; it's like an Atelier game on the surface but with no depth at all. The root of the problem is that there's no time limit, and I'm pretty sure everything eventually sells even if you jack up the price. There's no failure on defeat in dungeon crawling. So no matter what you do, you just keep getting stronger, it's just a question of "how quickly". In other words, it's grind. Complete, unrepentant, pointless grind.

    The lack of QoL just makes everything worse. To get the next tier of equipment, you need to enhance an item from the previous tier 4 times and ascend it, which turns leather armor into a metal breastplate, for example. Even if you have the materials, you need to click through this one at a time. Then do it again for the next tier, etc. I cheat engine'd a million gold to bypass the boring merchant system, and the grind is still excessive.

    The story is very clumsy. It's trying to be serious and tackle real themes. The MTL isn't helping, but I'm pretty sure even if it was professionally translated it'd still drop the ball. It's hard to take an epidemic seriously when a) you never actually see anyone sick b) You hear that people might die soon but nothing prevents you from making swords for a month.

    There's a time system and day of the week system; this mostly serves to make it annoying to find scenes. Frequently you need to hit "rest" 3 times to get a single-time scene. Less frequently (but not never) you need to hit it 12 times to advance the time of week to the proper day - and there's no mention of "scenes on other time slots or days of the week", so you just need to keep hitting it in case it unearths a new scene.

    At least one girl has a bunch of in-dungeon scenes that require you to clear out 10 floors of the dungeon. Repeatedly. By this point it won't be difficult to do, it's just another annoyance on the way to the good stuff.

    Two stars might be too harsh. Maybe this is a 3. The porn is legitimately good and right up my alley. I haven't unlocked everything and will keep at it to get more of the good scenes. But my god, everything else is just so obnoxious.

    The game has one major flaw, it's the huge amount of grind. But it's a very fun, voiced game with a lot of animated scenes.
    Even though I've beaten the grind with cheats I provide in the thread, there's still a lot of “unskippable” grind/quests that you have to do to progress and a lot of time skipping to find the next event etc..
    The rest of the game is top in my opinion.
    I would describe the plot as a typical anime/jrpg story.
    Main girls are likable, attractive and well drawn.
    Sex scenes are hot and fully voiced with sound effects.
    The sex scenes in the game try to cover a lot of different fetishes and few of them are really questionable, but I didn't find them too disturbing, you can just skip though them and ignore.

    whatmi

    Quite interesting game
    3GB download 4GB to post unzip, but honestly worth it

    giant con of the game is MACHINE TRANSLATION
    half of the game is not translated
    half of the translation is a bit wrong at places

    game have very slow progress and weird battle system, you start normal turn-based fighter and end "quick" raid shadowlegend but worse battle styles

    game have fun way of combining relationship with hentai
    so in order to have sex with a lady you need to go to lady
    click on the woman and click sex - YES, it was that easy
    this somehow progress your relationship? idk i got like 4 of that sexes with starting lady and 1-2 with side characters

    sex scenes are single pngs sometimes with stories and dialogue before

    Progress in the game is painfully slow
    enemies are weirdly strong later, but total pushovers at the start
    its very grindy to progress or get better items
    4/5 i believe better translation and some QoL community work could make it into great game with 1/10 hentai sex scenes

    Regardless of what i write, i think it's a good game overall with a lot of effort behind it and worth attention for sure. My personal experience with it, however, was more of a mixed bag due to couple things that negatively stand out and blemish the experience in quite severe ways.

    First of, since overview is... not helpful, let's put it this way, in figuring out what this game is about, an actual short summary. You are a merchant that can make talismans, magical gear in short. You have special eyes that can see magical energy and because of that a girl with spirit powers that can use magic without talismans recruited you to look for others like that and get stronger and from there it's normal RPG stuff like big evil plots and such.

    As other reviews mentioned, game consist of 2 main halves, actual RPG gameplay + your (goddamn) workshop and it's development, and going around gathering H-scenes.
    Art is actually great, H-scenes are voiced and voice acting is very solid, presentation overall is great even if animated tag is a fat lie.
    And for the first hours it felt great, honestly. A good blend of RPG and adult content reminding me of good proper big companies like Alice soft (in fact game feels very similar to their works and i believe was mostly inspired by their stuff).

    The big issue that stopped me from enjoying it was the abominable pacing which was less than ideal to put it mildly. For that gotta touch on gameplay. Story battles are your normal RPG turn based fights, besides that you will go to dungeons to grind for your normal exp and materials to improve your (goddamn) workshop and craft new weapons/armor. Dungeon combat is purely automatic and stat based and very, very, VERY quickly become old, you click a series of fights and watch numbers go down on x4 speed, which is not fast enough, and yet this is the thing you will do for the majority of the game. So after first hours doing the whole dungeon routine, you finally make contracts with first 2 main girls and the fucking dam is broken and more than half of entire game's H-scenes are available there. So for the next hours and hours you go around and just collect those scenes, until you hit another stat wall and from there spend more hours in stupid dungeons then you move on to the next chapter and the shit just repeats.

    On their own both elements are fine, RPG part is tolerable enough if annoying and boring, and the H-scenes are honestly good, but the way game spaces them out is nothing short of disasterous. The game even encourages you to do the whole "several hours of dungeoning > several hours of H-scenes" with quests that want you to gather all scenes or all dugneon bosses before going to the next chapter. By just flooding you with excess of one element or another both of them quickly become chores despite objectively not being bad at all.

    Another thing that just was done in honestly poor taste in my opinion is pregnancy "endings" being one time side "what if" events, and on it's own it shouldnt be an issue, not everyone like pregnancy and it's fine, but with every girl the game itself narratively pushes them closer to desire to be pregnant along the way. With every H-scenes they want kids with MC more and more in their dialogues but you can do it only for the non-endings. I would have much less issue with it if game didn't gently push me for tens of hours towards pregnancy and then blueball so hard. But it was a deliberately designed blueball attack and i don't understand why it had to be included to begin with.

    So just to summarize, i think it's a geniunely solid good game, absolutely worth trying if you like vanilla fantasy harems. My experience with it was less stellar but you might not find the pacing of the mechanics and events an issue, then again be prepared that it MIGHT become a point of severe annoyance and disdain with the experience.

    I played this game previously before it was uploaded to the site.

    Artwise, the game is incredible, pornwise, it's also incredible as there's an incredible amount of moaning, screaming, cumming, sex, all of that. The voicework of the girls really hit it out of the park in this game.

    However, the biggest, most gigantic gripe about this game, is the absolute massive fucking grind it forces you to go through. The workshop is ABSOLUTELY the focus of the game, NOT the porn itself, which is incredibly and utterly STUPID.

    You WILL go through the dungeons to upgrade the shop, you WILL blacksmith and sell your weapons and armor to make money, and you WILL grind up the affections of the girls. The game stops being something to fap to and instead becomes a damn chore with how horribly slow the pacing becomes. Something all of us are trying to avoid, no?

    Even worse is, the game touts pregnancy, however it's a What-If ending. Unlike Daijyoubi's other games, where you can see that the girls are definitely pregnant with the MC's kid in real time, there's no such luxury here.

    Not to mention, this game is only PART FUCKING ONE. Which means that you're stuck with a motherfucking cliffhanger as this is likely a duology or trilogy! A bit ambitious aren't you Daijyoubi?!

    In any case, if you can survive the grind, which you CANNOT SKIP THROUGH SAVE EDITING BTW, you'll find that the porn content is actually rather incredible. However if you lack patience, you should ask for a full save to prevent all the pain.

    N_Yah

    Absolutely fantastic game. Very much one of those "Come for the porn, stay for the story and even the gameplay" ones.

    It's not the deepest RPG and crafting systems you've ever seen, but they're fully formed and engaging. Running your shop is similar to how Kamidori does it, with you using the materials you get through the overworld/dungeon being used to craft weapons and armour which you then sell, which increases your fame and merchant rank.

    It's a really nice little system that plays in with both the narrative and the gameplay.

    The girls are similarly good. Charming personalities, solid storylines, great sex scenes both in the Dungeon and without.

    The fetishes are great for anyone in the mood for more vanilla. Very much focussed around love and care, everyone's loyal, nobody cheats, there's no rape, the girls are virgins and even when you're worried we're gonna sidestep into some dumb tentacle/slime nonsense it doesn't happen.

    Overall, just a really solid, fully formed game and highly recommended, especially if you liked Kamidori.

    SashaMan

    Fuck yeah this game is way better than it lets on!

    Story:
    So the story is that in this world, humanity can't use magic without 'talismans', or items imbued with magic. Our boy is a blacksmith with the rare ability to see "Divine Color" (magical energy!) in monster parts and ores. He has the dream to create a legendary magic weapon but hasn't found material with enough potent "Divine Color" to craft it. One day monsters attack the village he's in and he encounters a dragon lady covered in gold (from his POV). He forms a bond with her and gains lightning magic and easily finishes off the monsters. She tells him that she's a "Holy Maiden" born to wield the powers of divine color from birth and she's able to share her powers with him through their covenant. She tells him about two other Holy Maidens in the capital, and so begins his journey to bond with these ladies and gain the powers to smith the ultimate weapon!

    Gameplay (-1 star for this):
    There's two gameplay elements. Smithing and fighting. Smithing is you making and enhancing equipment. You can sell excess weapons and gear by putting them up for display in your shop. They are your early game method of making money. And also the best way to increase your stats.

    Fighting is divided into two, dungeon battles and regular battles. Quests have regular battles that are your regular RPGMaker fare, not remarkable. Dungeon battles is the auto-farming portion of the game... you choose the path to go, and in battles you don't do anything except pause to use items or charged attacks.
    Don't forget smithing once you get to sell your treasures, smith multiple equipment sets and set them up in shop while you go dungeon crawling and earn that passive income like a true hustler.

    H-Scenes:
    Amazing. If you're a vanilla goon, you will like this! Once you unlock their covenants, you can take the girls to fuck anytime in the dungeon and your bed (and these scenes are repeatable). That means if you're down bad before fighting the boss? Dick your girl in a sex battle, pump your load, and then pick up where you left off and then prepare for the boss fight. In fact, you can do this anytime in the path selection menu at 100% lust. Back at the city, play horsey with her like a good girl in front of everyone else and ride her in bed at night.
    While city scenes are not repeatable and not animated there's plenty of H-scenes waiting for you to discover. Even NPCs get multiple scenes!
