RPGM - Completed - Ero Trap Dungeon Roguelike [v2.03 +DLC] [Ketchup AjiNo Mayonnaise]

TLDR: Play like 5 minutes to see any scenes you may want then abandon it as there is not long term purpose or challenge, just meaningless grinding.

It's a roguelike puzzle games in which you have to collect objects and and use those resources and upgrade your progress.

The problem is that although it is entertaining, there is a ridiculous amount of farming, to the point that you must sink a lot of time to get anywhere.

Not a whole lot of porn scenes, and if you view them that run gets more difficult as most of the 'encounters' success rate decreases the more you 'lose' to see scenes.

The overall slowness is due because there are multiple types of currencies for progression

• Why is delve limit even a restriction? To waste time for successful players?
• XP limits
• A percent increase reward for items at the end of a dungeon which scales linearly, 1 sacrificed to change bonus to 1.01 2 for 1.02 etc. I'm not doing the math for the payback period when the other aspects are grindy enough.

For the +18 content, it's honestly not too bad, there is variation, but they do get repetitive. Further, most of the enemies will appear early enough that there's nothing on that end to unlock.
The cost to reward payoff simply isn't there.

The puzzle gameplay is fine compared to other in the series. Not better, not worse, balance and pacing seems fine.

You pretty much know what to expect if you played others in the series.

Collect heroines first with teleport stone(rainbow color) on downed heroines(you can also save the from traps and monsters).

Your resources are multiplied based on how deep you go.
Ex you get from the total number of adventurers in your guild.
Spt directly based how deep you went and it's the intermediary resource.
Dpt is based on putting your adventurer in traps or monsters, you can probably repeat it multiple times based on your health?

Game is nice and in style of previous games. Some challenge presented.
But many scenes repeats itself. Repeats A LOT. It is kind of nice that different clothes work in all scenes but it is not helps to solve main issue of this game of repeating scenes.
Last nail it was two same monsters that has different colours but same scenes.

I have trouble rating this game. The devs clearly set out to make a roguelite dungeon explorer hentai game with a hard focus on what appeals about roguelites, the ability to pump dozens to hundreds of hours into it before having unlocked everything.

That's certainly the case here. Trouble is, the core gameplay is exceedingly dull, resulting in nothing more than a boring grind. THe puzzle maps are probably the best thing about it in the end.

Try it out for a bit until you bored, then download or edit a full save and enjoy the gallery. Don't bother trying to complete it.

[v1.00]

It's close to being fun, interesting and not sloppy, but ends up thoroughly jank.

• All the different types of stats and materials needed for upgrade, their conversion and (mis)translations are a mess.
• Different types of characters are more (general) downgrades for niche (1-type) gameplay.
• Random starting area (given selection of starting rooms), random NPC saving rewards, random enemy drops (most often nothing), random trades(vendors) and exchanges(crafting) which often show duplicate trades at different values.
• Most rewarding are challenge dungeons, which truly show how the potential of it being an interesting puzzle game lost to sloppy random jank generation and horrible (not enough space to navigate, forced to split up) character organization.
• A majority of the upgrades are really boring (or have issues due to crafting and trading jank)- more starting items, stats, higher value payouts after returning / loss.
• You have to generally memorize what type of stats some actions require (as is typical of Roguelikes and Roguelites).

Recommended only if you can really put up with low effort random gen and its resulting mess

The art Is good, but the grind is completely and utterly unbearable. I know its a "roguelike" but the gameplay just isn't fun and grinding it feels like a massive chore. There Is certainly some fun to be had here though... for some people at least

I'm going to be honest, I don't know why I like this studio's games so much, it's probably because of the premise and because I like the artistic style, but in the rest of the aspects they don't come out very favored.

They are roguelike puzzle games in which you have to collect objects and organize yourself in the most efficient way to capture the adventurers (the mechanics are the same although in this one you "rescue" them).

About gameplay: The problem is that although it is entertaining, there is a lot of farming, to somewhat ridiculous points and the progression is practically zero, and I am referring to the progression in the porn content, gameplay yes there is improvement, although it is slow, and its slowness is probably due because there are multiple types of coins for multiple improvements of all kinds, to the point where you even have to improve the number of floors you can visit per exploration (causing the duration to be artificially lengthened, since progression is blocked directly ).
Mentioning that it is the first game you play from the studio can be somewhat confusing and overwhelming the number of items there are, the way to use them through menus and the way in which the improvements are distributed in the base (adding the factor of having 3/ 4 different currencies for upgrades - although only gold and mana are used in the dungeon).

Focusing on the +18 content, well that's fine, there is variation, there are always multiple girls in this studio's games that are captured and raped by a decent variety of enemies, and the style is nice, although there are no animations. The problem is that the traps/enemies that will generate your desired H scenes appear from the beginning, luckily, so there is no progression in this aspect, what's more, I wouldn't even say that it depends on the RNG, simply from the beginning you can find everything in the dungeon. the H content, since there are adventurers who have been defeated and when interacting the "scene" is played. This is not a negative thing per se, but since the game DOES have a playable progression and on top of that it is slow, let's say that hentai falls behind.

In other games from the studio there was some "farm management", you could put captured adventurers in traps or farms with monsters and they generated resources and you could see how they were abused, but this ended up translating into an even slower progression system because Leveling up those traps was normally hellish and although in concept it was cool, in this game there is something similar and it works as a gallery perfectly.

Conclusion: I would say that this is the best game I have tried from the studio, I think the systems are better explained, there is more variety of H content, some "mechanics" have been eliminated or replaced (like the farms that are no longer there, but for example now you can level up the girls) and in general there is an improvement (which is not always the case with the studio's games xd). The problem is that I think it's still not worth getting to the end of the game (although in several of these games there isn't even an end itself).

You can try it, try to get the H scenes and see if you like the gameplay a bit, it seems to me that the playable loop is decent, although it is not worth getting into it if you only want porn, in fact it is counterproductive.

If you have played a game made by ketchap you know the drill, if you don't know is a roguelike with random generated rooms items and interaction. Everything is a Trade-Up Game, you get stuff, use on people, level up so you can use other stuff ect, ect.
the gimmick here is the fact you have a limited tried numbered on your adventurer that you can find and save in the dungeon with some particular stones.
There is a good tutorial
The arts are good, overall is a fun game and even a little bit addictive.
