RPGM - Completed - Encode Encore! [v1.25] [Golden Pot]

How is this 4 stars?

This is a great set up ruined by overly grindy bullshit. Even on the Quick Playthrough setting, it is still stupidly grindy. At least there's no stupid mini games? But it's even worse, since it's all based on luck. Enjoy sitting through a black screen telling you if you succeeded or failed at doing your job for pennies, then paying her for some boring looking scenes. By the time things get good, you'll have wasted so much time you're no longer interested.

Again, great art and a great story premise, but absolutely ruined by the execution.

This game is excellent with a really likeable character dynamic, writing, and good scenes. I really liked the gameplay loop until around halfway through the 3rd attempt, it then started to feel much more repetitive.

I would rate this game a 5 for the dynamics, writing, costumes, and scenes, but like I said, It begins to feel much more repetitive. The gameplay loop is just not effective enough for this long of a game. Maybe if the future shop opened on the second playthrough, would to pacing feel better.
I haven't even mentioned the lack of guidance/takes a long time for finding the secrets in this game. i.e. gallery, bonus money making ninja, etc.

However I'd recommend only using save editor after a couple of playthroughs because I really do believe it was fun in the beginning.

Too much grind for too little content.
The gameplay loop gets repetitive fast, and honestly, I don’t get why this game gets so much love. It feels like the only thing keeping you playing is watching the numbers go up.


I could validate the score if it had at least the same amount of content as an Acerola game, but as it stands, I just don’t see it.


The art is good, I’ll give it that. But if that’s all there is, it’s not worth the grind. Better to just look for a save and skip the hassle.

Incredibly grindy yet the scenes are very hot, I'm quite conflicted on this one.

The gameplay is honestly super repetitive and only the bare minimum is explained, still, the scenes genuinely get progressively better and the art is super good, just from that I think it's worth playing, especially since you can keep your stats everytime you run out of time.

This is the Disgaea of sex games. While this game does hardly anything unique or innovative, it has constructed a game that is grind. All games are grind, but we call grind that we like a "gameplay loop," instead. The loop here "need to have sex to get energy -> need money to have sex -> need energy to get money ->," is simple but effective, and in addition to the sex cg rewards, it also plays well to the classic RPG power fantasy of number go up. There is no fluff in that system. Unlike most of the "games" on this website, this is well and truly a video game.

I want to point out an additional highlight, which is how charming the heroine is. Nenena is willing to cheat on her boyfriend to prostitute herself, not because she needs money, but because she wants it. It is quite a feat to make such a heroine tolerable, let alone likeable. But the game manages to convince you that Nenena is kind, caring, and meaningful in spite of that. The dialogue is also a rare case of slang writing which isn't cringe.

All in all great game. If you like corruption/trainer games and this artstyle appeals to you, go for this game!

Ultimately, this game is very grindy, unless you know that:
Player Character Tv gave out random hint of broken item that save time, IT'S VERY GRINDY HEAVY.

This game has core loop and the dev found it:
Bulk up > Save Up > Discharge, rinse repeat.
However the anticipation/escalation of corruption progress makes it worth it. The reward keep on going and that is the best bait grindy game can gave.

The icing of the cake is that being proactive strengthen the protagonist, so player is always incentives to seek the girl help, making their interaction/relationship natural.

Such cute art and I love the premise of stealing a gal from someone else and corrupting her, especially since you start off paying her but she ends up paying you. Needless to say there's enough scenes, although I wish there was even more and the scenes are semi text heavy. A great time all around.

NENENA SUPREMACY!!!!

- Good CGs
- Basic and simple gameplay but enjoyable
- Multiple ENDINGS
- Outfits
- Short history but good replayability (NG+)

I look forward to the developer's next game.

Took me probably about 30 active hours of playing to 100% this game. There's a lot of good stuff here. The NG+ like mechanic that this game revolves around is satisfying enough to make a new run not feel like a chore, since you can now use your improved stats and new items to get further than last time.

The art and writing is top notch too if you ask me. Nenena is super cute.

Rather tedious, vague and somewhat broken... Which thankfully doesn't ruin it too much if you get around it with a 100% save and a visit to the right north house (recollection room). Would definitely give it 5 stars if it wasn't so broken and tedious, could use a smidge more content, at the very least in side cg form as a completion reward

Awesome game. It is really rare to see a good netori game (most rpg maker games are bad quality NTR). This game has enjoyable grind, no time constraints and many diverse sex scenes. You can play however you want, but in the end I think everyone would be able to discover all six endings. I dont want to rise ur expectations too much, but the last, true ending was even a bit touching. I definitely recommend to play this game.

Fun game, takes a little bit to get a routine down in regards to stamina and action points though (also the movement system could use a rework imo, its way too clunky and when you click a place you want to move the sprite has a tendency to just slam face first into a wall)

This is the Peakest Peakertin. You don't get a lot of games like this, the story is good, a lot of interactions, and its NTR. I couldn't ask for more, and what's even better is its GOOD NTR THE BF SUCKS. Personally I grinded this game so much and was yerkin my shit the whole time, I have about 15 hrs in this game which is kind of a lot for your typical yerk and dump game.

This isnt a perfect game but if your looking for a good NTR game go no futher, I do recommend to speed run the first play through and then do all the secrets the next play through, you can really grind your stats once you do all the secrets, makes the game much easier.

Knows what it is and sticks to it pretty well, the art isn't my thing but its good at times. The only big problem is that the game is grindy but at least there are ways around it. Overall its passable, definitely better than a lot of other things on here.

Great game but with a lot of grinding. Cheat early and you will enjoy it more. You get a netori end by grinding, the story is nice, i had a lot of fun. I'll look up for games from the same developer next

Great trainer that, while time consuming, really gives you more than you'll ever need in terms of variety of reactions, lines, and expressions across all scenes. Heavily recommend that you play on the "easy setting" as well as utilize the guide/walkthrough to learn the necessary skills that will help you cut down on the grind.

my favorite
the story is simple. really, Nenena needs money, and you have to make money to have fun with her, thats all.
the gameplay is well, there isnt really anything to say about it, you keep lust low, make money, have fun with Nenena, repeat. (recommend play it easy mode)
Nenena is cute, beautiful, the dev cooked with their drawing
the sex is fucking good, you can do it at school, house, outside,... many positions, the dirty talk is top notch, really turn me tf on ngl
the sound is stock so okay?
5/5 my fav because im kinda like netori

One of the best games here imo. The best is that the dev plan to do more content for the game ( he's pretty sick atm so might take a while. Let bro rest )

- Easy grind;
- Basic "plot" ( which is good, basic works );
- AMAZING art;
- Static H but top tier nonetheless

You should 100% give this one a try.

Good art. The mechanic is simple but fun to play. The trophy thing, a little bit confused to understand but still a good thing. The corruption is lit, not gonna lie. The best one is pregnancy, holy cow the devs even put the pregnancy into the true ending and the cuck route.

In "Encode Encore" you play as a guy that has a "disease" where he needs to cum multiple times a day. You pay a friendly gyaru that already has a boyfriend to get fap material, and later to have sex with her. But the game is far from the standard boring hentai game with run of the mill hentai plot. It is a well-made, well executed game with plenty of shining elements.

The Good:

• The female lead is great

- Like any game focused on a single girl, who that girl is makes or breaks the game, and in this case, the devs hit it out of the park. The girl is not only cute, but she is also extremely likeable. Even though the plot is a pretty light-hearted hentai plot, I enjoyed reading the dialogue thanks to her character writing, and the good job the translator did.

• Variety of scenes, outfits and endings.

- Despite playing through all the endings, I did not ever feel like any scenes were repetitive. There are plenty of different scenes with different outfits you can choose from. The main fetish you will find in scenes will be Netori, considering the plot. But there are plenty others like Bondage, Footjob, Exhibitionism, Impregnation and Anal. Nothing too hardcore, and pretty much all optional.

• Translation

- The translation is great, I can't tell how many supposed "fan-translation" I have read that are lifeless and filled with grammatical errors. This is the complete opposite. @cactuar I love you, have my babies.

• In-game achievements tripled up as walkthrough and character stat

- There is an achievements system called "trophies" in game, and with each achievement completed, your "confidence" stat goes up, and the descriptions of achievements tell you what to do. Some of the achievements you would have no idea how to complete when you first start, but as you complete the achievements doable for you at the time, the others become available. Fantastically done game-mechanic that made progression feel natural.

The Ugly:

• The "Grinding"?

- I was stupidly grinding jobs while doing the first 2 endings. Which made the game much longer than needed. After you get Ending 3 and unlock the "future shop" you can buy an item that let's you do jobs much faster. If you decide to play the game, don't be like me and just progress assistance level as fast as you can, get ending 3, and then do whatever the hell you want after. Now that I know what to do, the grind is not bad at all, but it could get tedious if you repeat my mistakes. Also, read the "translator notes" in the main post to get a quick guide.

Summary:
"Encode Encore" might not the most polished game with a complicated and innovative plot, and all in all the gameplay elements are pretty standard. But it is definitely one of the most fun games I've ever played. It has a very likeable and cute female lead, wrapped in a light-hearted, simple plot focused on Netori. The translation is great and the gameplay, although nothing mind-blowing, served the game well.

You get to fuck some idiot's girlfriend, and make her fall for you. Netori for the win. Also I love the "very nice and friendly gyaru" trope. 5/5 I love this game.
