Wolf RPG - Completed - Dragon Blood [v1.24] [acerola]

They really undersold patching the game. Was 1 hour in and apparently there is a game breaking bug that stops you from leaving the airship. Reloading prior to getting on the ship doesn't help and apparently a full restart has to be done and i ain't got the time in case it fails again.

I would rate this game straight 5 like you got multiple protagonist to play with different events of each and you can corrupt every of them , you have a nice story to follow, game doesn't feel boring as you have lots of things to do, so many characters to try out, different costumes to get, the battle is not that hard and is adjustable, I had saw similar game before named 'dragon sword' which is miserable as compared to this the art style was good but the game itself wasn't it didn't provided so much mechanics and freedom while this game overcomes all of that game shortcomings maybe naturally but this game is probably best in its genre

As is typical, Acerola has a lot of padding in their reviews. To put it bluntly, this game has all the checklist items of a good game, organized in such a way to make it irritating and unplayable unless of course you own zero other games.

The writing has interesting points but is bogged down by ENDLESS CHATTER about things that ultimately don't matter and just function as filler. The gameplay has tons of features but the combat is so easy with progression so linear, you'd probably have a more engaging experience in a super nintendo RPG. The visuals are well done, but never very consequential. It honestly feels like they didn't want to make an adult game considering how half-hearted those CGs are compared to the story CGs. There's also the blunt reality that the setup is painfully generic. Protagonist lost her parents and is going on a revenge quest but will learn to open her heart and heal along the way. And of course the sexual content is largely procedural since sperm is needed for upgrades and the protagonist REPEATEDLY states she has no desire to maintain her chastity. So like, go suck a billion dicks. There's no impact to anything.

On paper, things are great. Altogether, the game is so lacking in a hook or engaging content that I'd rather play almost any other game in existence. You'd have to be living in a bubble on Steam to think this game is peak.

very enjoyable besides its problems, for me colette is their best game but acerola is cooking peak in almost every of their games, i like corrupting the heroines and acerola is always good in that matter

Unironically a great game
Gameplay: 4/5, nothing really new or special, but pretty good overal
CG: 4.5/5 All great, and very well made. Does get slightly repetitive, but still great
VA: 5/5, unironically really good, especially for an H-game. Rarely ever feels like the va's were just phoning it in or something like that.
Story: 5/5 Way better than it had any right to be. The ending, both the optional ones and the true ending did feel a little rushed, but for an H-game, it's still a great story
Characters: 5/5, Also all pretty good. The large cast does slightly result in certain characters feeling forgotten at points. The optional sorta romance there was surprisingly cute, and I actually wish that there were more moments, or at least more of a definitive ending for those 2 characters that the player could choose.

Had to leave a review , near ten hour to reach the ending a perfect mix of sex and emotion , you can do basicaly everything and still get the good ending , an ending that made me ,cry anyone who's ever enjoyed a JRPG on this site should play this one

In comparison with other Acerola games I found this one a little less fun in regards to gameplay, but I really enjoyed the variety of scenes and the fact that there a lot of girls (including Luca,the bestest girl)

Better story and character development than a lot of AAA games.
The mosaic does hinder the hentai part but still worth 12+ hours just for the story.
And as the genius i am, accidently saved over a late game slot that was supposed to be a checkpoint for 100% clearing.
What a tragedy, now i have to play the game again

Story : 5/5 for an H-game, I don't expect a story like that. Maybe too many line of dialogue, but it is fine

Gameplay : 3/5, the same RPGM fighting style. Except the grind here is different, you can suck dicks to become stronger instead of killing monsters. The difficulty is really low so you don't need to grind a lot.

H-scenes : 5/5 Each H-scene with the main protag can be seen multiple time with multiple type of things. Like big or little boobs, S or M etc...
You have also multiple artists who worked on this masterpiece, so if you have an artist that you really like, you will have 2 or 3 scenes made by him.
The arts are really good and consistant. The writting is good for a MTL, really good (thanks to dazedanon amazing work).

I know it doesn't make 5/5 with this, but it is an h game, so the h-scene are the most important so I gave 5 stars

Very solid game all around. A lot of effort was clearly put in by the creators. Interesting mechanics, decent scenes, not bad gameplay-- Overall I can solidly recommend this! One of the better Wolf RPG games I've played!

I love the artistic style of this game developer but in my opinion this is one of their worst games made so far.

Leaving aside the artistic aspect that I respect and appreciate, I couldn't digest a user interface that is too awkward, uncomfortable and makes you lose the desire to continue in the game.

It's incredible that all this haste in wanting to add content has made the game uncomfortable to play.

For example, I can't have 16 categories in the menu to scroll through one by one with the arrows, not to mention that it is not yet available and we don't know if it will be, the control of the game via mouse.

I know it could be a limitation of the engine they are using to create the game but that doesn't justify them from making the game slow and cumbersome.

Another example is the lack of the dash function always on that was present in older titles but not in this title. Nobody knows why.

As for the plot I won't go into detail because it's a continuous recycling of old monotonous stories but I don't even think that's an important aspect of this game.

I want to give credit for the high number of scenes and the amount of playable characters.

Maybe all things which I mentioned before will be fixed in the future but for now, I don't feel like recommending this game.

4/5 stars is a fair rating for this game. the production value is decent. there is a fair bit of content and fair bit of H material. nothing in this game is particularly amazing, but you can feel it was a good effort, so its not fair to low ball with a 3/5.

that being said... it feels a bit slow, the h scenes, while decent, is not top tier. its probably worth your time playing this game

It's yet another solid Accerola game, but a game breaking bug (yeah yeah I should've read the warning), it loses a star.
it should be noted that (compared to their previous games) there's more futanari content and yaoi content (not a sizeable proportion but wheras maybe 5% of the sex is futanarai and no yaoi, this game has like 20% futanari and 5% yaoi content.
the plot is stereotypical cookie cutter, in a good way believe it or not. It's actually quite predictable how the story flows. You go to a settlement, have various side quests and H events, go to the boss, either get a new character, fight a boss, and then give them a correction , and then proceed to the next area.

Genuinely a really good game. If your thing is in-detail corruption of the lewd variety, it won't be entirely up your street; the MC's corruption is more of the "kill them all" vs "life beyond revenge" variety. You're basically playing a less schizophrenic version of Sirin from Honkai, complete with the obsession with ramen.

it's been long time since i enjoy H-game Story this far, i mean at first it was like meh just like another fantasy game with monster girl and fem protag. But then demn the story is very intrusive and although kind a bit off but this one should try game.

Other's seem to having issues with bugs. I'm not. That said, I'm also not expecting animated scenes with so many party members. If there's any one criticism that I really need to make, is that the game is far too easy. Iris could solo the entire thing with pretty much no issues.

Acerola's best game till this date. While the launch has been atrocious, it's largely irrelevant for us and what one may rather would like to wait & see for is plausible content expansions as well as perhaps some more translation kinks being worked out.

It's still the usual 'slop' (smut) but for anyone with fondness for the likes of Monica, Collette, Claire, Cynthia... they will find a lot of joy here.

It's not just the most expansive but also introduces and refines a lot of systems. Including characters. While fleshing out characters outside of sex was rather something (and only little) found in the NTR Series rather than the Cum-Collecting one, it's been vastly improved here.

Thanks to an MTL, (luckily, it has been LLM translated which brings it very close to a fan / professional translation) estimates have shown that the game is several times the size of the bible. It has nearly a million lines that range from single UI elements to textboxes with a pure JP character count of 38.5 million (around 6 million English words). While it is mostly used on H scene variation, characters still talk a lot with each other and have skits.

Worth noting about the game is that the corruption is mostly moral rather than sexual. While like usual characters can become very lewd and slutty, all characters are fairly promiscuous already. It's more of a difference between 'doing it with select' and 'doing it with anyone'.

The Karma system makes a lot of sense here because the titular character, Iris, can be very brutal. Something reminiscent of OneOne1 titles where there may also be evil routes. Iris herself is very set on revenge but she is also a fairly well-thought out character with more than just a hate-boner for gods (she can also have a real boner, there is a lot of Futa). The other characters are entertaining too and there are not just Hentai CG but a lot of regular and SD art.

Escalation of events also does not really always start with petting anymore, while still present rather than the chain being Petting->Blow / Boobjob->Sex, it's Reluctant Sex (often duped into it)->Sex which is not so reluctant anymore->full-on slutty sex.

We all know Acerola for always doing "sex sells" tactic for their game, and they at least delivered no matter how low effort the gameplay and story.

But this time, even the sex is underwhelming which is something rare for Acerola until now. You want corrupt yourself? I did it with first NPC I met in less than 10 minutes. Pregnancy? It's a dice roll regardless your ovulation state. Is it enjoyable? Nah, I got bored and seek the save after just 30 minutes, I just can't endure the story at all.

Acerola games have a very familiar formula. If you've played games by the studio in the past, congratulations: you have an updated asset pack of new characters to do the Acerola thing in. You also get an astounding 3 gigabytes of voice acting, so if you're really into voice-acted h-game content it's hard to beat for variety or quality.

If you haven't tried an Acerola game before, I think they're a mixed bag. As an actual RPG, it invests more than most in the genre by far in giving you a variety of characters, locations, and gameplay elements to experience. But there's no real challenge or much variety in what you do. The turn-based system is tedious and even the most basic understanding of the game's mechanics makes combat a trivial interruption between scene hunting. It's missing RPG elements that make you feel rewarded for cleverness or preparation, which is not unusual for the genre but disappointing because it feels like they were unusually close to getting there.

As for the h content, it gets to the point where it feels more like padding than porn. There are a lot of different scenes and scenarios but they all feel thrown in to buff the tag count rather than to engage you in the fantasy of the tag itself. Is there pregnancy? Sure is, but it's reduced to just a brief "you're pregnant" message and a two-frame birth scene. Is there corruption? Yup, but you're "corrupted" in two seconds at the push of a button and there's no real arc to it. The girls all have outfits but only a couple really simple swaps. There's battlefuck but the cut-ins are soulless, brief, and forgettable. If there is a thing you like it is in here, but the thing you like most about it isn't.

Chances are that if you have a kink it's in here, just in the most perfunctory possible way. And that's a shame, because there's so much invested in the production value here. The difference between what was clearly spent to make this and what we got feels vast. I feel obligated to reward all the investment in scene variety, kink variety, and voice talent acquisition even though I know it didn't really amount to something that scratches any of the itches it's trying to. A mile wide and an inch deep.

This game should have been good. It seems to tick all the right boxes, and it has a number of tags I personally enjoy - sadly, Dragon Blood desperately wishes to be a 'real game' as opposed to a porn game - as such, it is marred with tedious systemization and RPG mechanics.

I apologize if this point seems a little bit dumb, but it really isn't. I'll admit, I've been surprised before by games on here that manage to be equally good as H-games as they are actual video games - it's usually when those elements feel as tough they're properly blended together. Dragon blood is an RPG game with H elements, not the other way around, and it just seems to ask for a lot of your time. Ultimately the tedium and parsing of H-content, though there is a lot of it, is not worth the time and effort to invest in it.

I also think the game is extremely generic in its tone and H-content - so the tags, though they exist, are surface-level variations of each,
