    If you enjoyed Goblin Conqueror it's probably a 5/5, and for everyone else it's possibly a 3/5. The story is what carries this game and is built on worldbuilding established in the prior game. Once again the developer seems to have focused on their own ideas, leading to some creative implementations of things here and there (eg. a trade sequence with multiple solutions). Would I consider this a top game? Not really. As much as I like Dragon Conquista it feels more like comfort food. A familiar taste that you can always enjoy, but really lacking the unique, standout qualities of bigger releases.

    Sex Scenes: From a gallery/art perspective it's nothing special. The battle related scenes are average at best. It's the context and writing behind the more elaborate scenes where this game shines. Its moments like watching the mc rage masturbate at home after someone fails to make a move that got me to laugh, but people that are here just to skip text and look at pictures aren't going to like it.

    Combat: It's a joke and massive downgrade from the prior game. There is no battlefuck either. It's a soft loss state in most cases. The system has potential at a glance, but after realizing I was overthinking things I used the same basic strategy for every enemy and boss. Not only is it completely mindless and lacking variety, but it's pretty easy to get overpowered from stats/equipment early on. Hopefully the dev refines the system in their next game.

    Story/writing/MTL: I played dazedanon's awesome MTL which was readable. Yes, there are the usual MTL fails, but the writing style of the dev is a bit more simplistic and straightforward. So most of the story was easy to follow and didn't really get butchered by translation. I suspect it might be a good choice for people learning 日本語, but haven't seen the raws myself.

    One thing that bugged me was some weird characterization quirks in lewd scenes, where the dev seemed to drop the ball on how willing the mc was or how she reacted to certain things. However, this isn't really a corruption focused game and most of the scenes handled those states appropriately.

    As for the main story, it's nothing to write home about, but also much better than the average RPGM experience. The side characters seem to be more developed and take a bigger role, even in a story-only virgin run which I found to be a pleasant surprise. There's a bit of self-awareness without getting into 4th wall breaking territory which I appreciate:
    "How did you know which one?" "We were prepared either way." It's a competent, cohesive adventure story which is about all I could ask for in these games. On the flip side the adventure is... kind of generic. A lot of the areas and objectives feel like JRPG tropes and there isn't much novelty here. Girl leaves home and saves the world, yaaaaay.

    TL;DR - If you just want a gallery and hate reading don't bother. It's not a battlefuck game if you're into that. It's better than the average RPGM game, but doesn't particularly stand out either.

    Damn nice game it is 10/10 feels like a sequel of the goblin conqueror, it is now in my top tier RPGs list, thanks for providing this game, , I can't wait for all your future games, you deserve more.

    Honestly this game is very addictive I didn't closed my laptop like for 3 days straight just to complete this game, the characters design were fascinating and appealing as expected from dev of goblin conqueror, I literally loosed when I saw the protagonist of goblin conqueror that made my day, battle mechanism were also great, this game was very story rich and it felt like that I loved the character because how the story is written .

    One thing you could have done is that to let players switch the main protagonist to that alternate female protagonist who works for company that'd would have allowed more enjoyment but overall it is 10/10 totally would recommend to play.

    just a good porn and game. the story has heart wrenching moments, and the flute is nice tuch too i think if you scrubbed it of all porn, it would still be worth playing. the porn is also great it doesn't have the traditional ugly bastard common with the melon tits female protags

    Goblin or Dragon?
    Being a sequel, there are things that should be compared between Goblin and Dragon Conquista in order to understand more what Dragon Conquista gives as a sequel.

    The things that Goblin Conquista did better was the battlefuck system, though at the cost of a rock-paper-scissors type of battle system. However, Goblin Conquista had ideas and more interaction within it’s H-scenes.
    So, what did Dragon Conquista delivered?

    To put it simply, in what Dragon Conquista lacks, it makes up for it by improving everything what Goblin Conquista did.
    • A change for a more refined battle style, albeit with some exploits.
    • A more varied bestiary, with the majority of them that have their own H-scenes.
    But most of all, the story.

    Obviously, it’s best to play Goblin Conquista beforehand to fully appreciate Dragon Conquista’s story. Seeing how old characters coming back were used. The many plot twists and different plot points (The Church and Prison arcs being my favorites). But most of all how the consequences of Goblin's story affected Dragon's story.

    Without spoilers; the story in Dragon Conquista’s biggest strength but it comes with a cost that I’ll point out further below.

    The story was very engaging and the fact each plots have their own environments was never tiring for me. And seeing new characters interacting with characters from the previous game were used more than just fanservice was the cherry on top.

    Flaws:
    The difficulty

    This game’s challenge can be a pushover. Especially if you cheese out the casino sections, get the final sword and amass enough money to buy books to boost your stats. The only time I had trouble was the bird monster boss. But that’s just ONE somewhat tough boss fight.

    H-scenes aren’t really worth it
    From a first play-through perspective, I don’t see the need to collect do the H-events. This is a similar issue that I had with Goblin Conquista, at some point I just felt no wanting to bother collecting the CGs since I cared more for the story. (Especially there were very few scenes in Goblin Conquista that I felt like were endearing)

    Overall; I had a good time playing Dragon Conquista but the irony that I didn't bother with the H content.
    However, don't let it discourage you. (Especially when it comes to people who needs a video essay to explain to them the most basic story plot line, lord have mercy..)

    I want to see BanameiR make a game that has the level of story writing, even much better than Dragon Conquista, as well experimenting and daring for a more interacble battlefuck system, improving Goblin Conquista's battle fuck system.

    I already played the first game and it was great, but this game is what a sequel should be, building upon the first game and keeping the things that worked and improving upon it. the characters, the gameplay and the art are a upgrade from the first game, even the combat is a improvement IMO over the rock paper scissors type combat of the first game, i came for the H content, stayed for the characters, the combat and the story. Although the game is a bit too easy at times, I hope the game comes to steam or something so i can actually buy and support Banamei's future games, a steam release would mean a uncensored version too. Hell i enjoyed it so much i did a virgin run my first playthrough cause i genuinely enjoyed the gameplay.

    Usually don't review games because I suck at it. However I have to give my 2 cents.

    - Sexy asf FMC

    - Very good Combat mechanics(other devs should take points from here)

    - Most enemies are Battle fuck which is always nice hehe :3

    - Lots of different NPCs, with their own little stories. Some are more fleshed out than other.

    And last but not least the story is super good, it's one of those few games where I didn't skip a single dialogue. It keeps you hooked from the getgo and the high never dies until the very end. I have tried lots of adult Japanese rpgm games before but imho this is truly the best I have tried so far. 5/5 from me.

    Horny Saint Jeanne d'Arc

    I just finished playing this game for the second time and now on my third run and oh man, I had to come here and say that this game has to be one of the best RPGM Eroge of the year. Absolute Kino. Truly Peak.

    The storytelling was so great and very well written in both H-scenes and Non H-scenes. It really gave a very meaningful depth into the mindset of the characters in the current situation. Very interesting plot and twists that caught me off guard. The overall main story was great in that it got me hooked up on it during my first run that I forgot this was an eroge and ended up finishing the playthrough with Reiri still a virgin.

    The art was very amazing and very sexy, it complements the H-scenes very well. As well as all of the characters's designs. All was super sexy and perfect.

    The combat was oh man, definitely one of the most satisfying RPGM combat I've ever played. Very fun, very unique, and very innovative. Makes me feel a lot more engaged with the game. However, I do hope they put the items/consumables menu in during combat.

    Right now I'm on my third playthrough seeing what will change if I play the game differently. After my first run (The Virgin Run), I was wondering what would change if I messed around with Melmeia and Reiri a bit during the Prison Arc. So I went and replayed and got Reiri pregnant in the prison this time which caused Melmeia's escape plan to fail and be caught by the Guard Gregg guy. I won't go into details on what happened much but afterward, Melmeia got pregnant, Reiri gave birth in prison, Melmeia gave birth in prison, you know...all those good of stuffs. Anyway, fast forward to the ending this time, turns out we have Gregg babysitting Reiri's child and Melmeia's child (Melmeia II) in the little house in the southern part of the residential area where Melmeia comes and visits her child often. So that's why I'm on my third playthrough hoping to mess around with this time both the Prison Arc and the Church Arc and seeing what will change at the end.

    Not gonna lie but now I'm hoping for a Melmeia DLC. She has become one of my favorite characters without a doubt. Playing her through the Prison Arc makes me want to see more of her in action.

    Overall, Dragon Conquista is truly and absolutely one of the best RPGM Eroge and I really want to see more from Banamei in the future.

    Dr.Jean Pepper

    One of the best h-games I played this year.
    An actual story that actually made you care about the MC and some of the side characters too. I was honesty more invested in the plot instead of the "plot"
    Great art which made H-scenes and non H-scenes look good. If the game dev would to ever make a manga, i might actually read it lol.
    Cameo MC from last game(wished she played a bigger role)
    Lots of H-scenes and post game H-scenes as well too
    Combat is different compare to most RPGM games but no rock, papers, scissors mechanic like the first game was. Can make most of the game easy once you get the hang of it.
    The only thing preventing me from giving this game 5 stars is that half the H-scenes are defeat scenes. No battlefuck or partial H-scenes in battles like the first game had.
    Put over 7 hours into this game and hoping there's a 3rd game coming

    Enjoyable play. Not as hard as previous game but story is amazing. A bit too amazing. My wallet gonna be pained for this.

    Favorite portions of this have got to be the lovely pregnancy mechanics that can and will happen over the course of the HRPG.

    Winterfell

    Only like midway through the game but holy shit did the dev cooked on this game.

    Adding onto the lore of the first game as well as improving and making combat mechanics of the RPGM not-so-stale is a very huge plus

    Forgive the slow and crappy opening however once you've reached the capital and done the required shit to do there, you're good to go and play and explore and have fun

    9/10...storytelling, gameplay mechanics, and ero scenes (as much are some are just repeated images) are really good

    Beatoften

    Don't see the appeal.

    I think Karryn's Prison proved the best combination is a functional game that's fun to play, isn't a walk in the park, and also has sex content. This only has sex content and none of the other qualities.

    This is a game where most of the sex content demands you lose, but whether you lose or not is basically fully in your control. Think of it like you have a shield that's normally up, but then during one obvious turn where your "shield is down," the proper reaction is to not attack. It's super visible, you know when it's time to not attack, and only gross negligence could lead to a loss. This means it's an entire game where you have to pretend you lost to get any of the sex content, with limited exceptions.

    Frustratingly, the only legitimately challenging fights do NOT have sex scenes on a loss, and instead kill you and result in a game over. These are the only enemies that do enough damage to be a threat, and these are the only fights devoid of content.

    Lost a lot of save time all because I lost one of those kill fights. Alright, fuck it. Guess she died at that boss and that's the end then. Next game.

    if you like makina, tiina of the scarlet prison, or goblin conqueror, PLAY THIS GAME! generational release, hits the mainstays well but the main appeal is the more eclectic kinks... this game has everything you want on the porn front combined with the most satisfying rpgm combat i've ever played and a story that you won't want to hold ctrl through...

    highlights:
    goblin city
    suzurika
    combat rape

    some minor disappointments like the prostitution system can be easily ignored because there's just so much juicy content. 5/5 stayed up all night to see the ending

    GOTY! SAY LESS AND PLAY IT!(i wish there were more goblin though)
    Arts is good
    Combat is fun
    Wide range of fetishes
    Story is good
    Characters are lovable and have their own story dept
    Love the pregnancy system and hope the dev will upgrade it on the 3rd game(if he decide to make it)
    Very rich in erotic events

    As someone whos played dev's previous work, this is another good entry, but nothing groundbreaking or worth revisiting every now and then.


    Good:
    • Actual story (if you care)
    • Slight animation
    • Good art
    • Not run-of-the-mill combat system
    • Good monster scene variation

    Areas to Improve:
    • Voice effects in h-scenes. They might as well not exist (and probably why its not tagged) cause it is implemented so horribly. Like you have to turn volume up to 11 to hear anything while every other sound effects are significantly louder.
    • While combat is not the same as 99% of other games, its also not the best design. It all comes down to simple resource management, and to see the scenes you have to really try to lose on purpose by screwing up your resources. While its not a deal breaker, I personally prefer the unpredictability of ero-attacks of other games.

    Overall a good game and props to the creator for spending time on their passion project, but you wouldn't put it in the same level as say Celesphonia or Pray Game, where they are almost a must play if you enjoy these type of RPG hgame

    version 1.01

    rating is based on how boring and bad game design it is. the game itself is a finished product, not some low effort garbage. but still imo it's a bad porn game. why:


    -it's nearly impossible to lose fights, and most sex scenes are sex on defeat.
    -for "battlefuck" you have to mismanage your SP 3 times so your clothes break each time, then another time naked for the finishing rape "battlefuck", or lose by depleting hp.... but you can'T really do that because you can repair your clothes for free between every encounter, and you cannot really mismanage your SP, you just do a braindead combo: attack->attack->attack->skill use->end turn. and basically you beat everything. very braindead, even though the combat is a bit innovative.


    best sex scenes imo are battlefuck scenes but it's impossible to get them unless you are trying VERY HARD to lose on purpose. other sex scenes have mediocre art/animation... except maybe boob giggle that's nice but it's overused.


    it's just a bad game design, sex on defeat games are always at a disadvantage to be good games, they need gimmicks like tricky enemies or traps or etc where you can actually lose, but here there is no RNG, you can win every encounter with full hp and clothes. so it's just very bad. bad game design. and it's a boring game, mediocre story as well, same clichés but a bit weaker than other rpgm games.

    The only thing going for this game is that it's an actually finished product, and animations are decent. although nothing spectacular.

    Pretty damned good.
    Combat is much improved from the previous iteration, the story is actually good and while the art isn't exactly eye blowing it does all that's required of it.
    It's got easily available hints to show you where and what to do next and if some of the acts weren't my preference, or didn't go deep enough into things i do enjoy, that's very much a personal thing.

    SO much awesome content. Amazing art, great fight system. Sexy stuff. Love it. Been playing it for hours on end, first day after discovering it. The sexy stuff alone is worth it. The story too, defininitely engaging. Be warned, silly body proportions however :D

    Was really looking forwards to this one. Something about this Banamei guy's art just speaks to me and he couldn't have made a more perfect heroine waifu. More games need to do the cool stoic but naive female warrior/soldier archetype.

    This game has great QOL and you can tell its a passion project and not some cheap cash grab slop built around the CGs. There is fast travel, dialogue skipping, status trackers and easy access galleries.; its 2024 and this stuff should be mandatory for every rpgm game.

    Speaking of map; it is pretty compact and you definitely won't be getting lost in it. It is extremely dense with secrets, scenarios and tasks to do and this rewards you much faster than just levelling up does and gives you special things like max stamina or health regen equipment. I'm not sure if the purchasable gear is deliberately limited or if I completely missed a secret. These sort of games usually have some insanely overpowered endgame armor and weapons sets but as far as I know, clothes don't boost stats and I literally beat the game stuck on a early game weapon. The stamina and skills seems to be where all the real combat potential comes from anyways.

    The combat is really focused around said stamina management and skills. All your real damage comes from the skills but you have to manage stamina to build up technique points for the skills and to destroy the enemy's shields first. Its more engaging than 99% of rpg maker crap but the downsides is you can't one shot enemies even when overleveled due to the shield and the you don't even get combat consumables like health potions (you can health regen using a skill) let alone broader combat options.

    The plot is a real charmer of a bildingsroman about democracy manifest, conspiracies and Kaname from the first game about goblins has a really cool cameo and awesome plot twist. Reassuring to see even hentai artists in Japan have this Patlabor 2 type cognizance about world affairs. Its good enough that I don't really want to spoil anything.

    Of course all of this is kind of moot if the h content is bad; thankfully Banamei said this game drew scenario inspiration from all his favorite RPGM games and this really shows. I don't think there is any common fantasy enemy type that the heroine can't be fucked by and if you've played other peak rpgms, a lot of these scenarios will be very familiar to you in the best ways.

    Pretty solid contender for H RPGM of the year. Right before Christmas season too.

    Sepulchure

    A good improvement over the original, with better gameplay and a considerably longer story, clocking in around 12-15 hours.

    Dragon Conquista is basically more of Goblin Conquista, more enemies, more story, side quests and a full exploreable map. If you enjoyed the first game, you are set to enjoy this one as well.

    However, those who were expecting new mechanic introduction over Goblin Conquista might be disappointed, as the game only offers you three choices of impregnation and the same style combat, with big difficulty spike from bosses.
