VN - Others - Completed - Evenicle [v1.04] [AliceSoft]

This game is peak idc what anyone says ....I will play the sequel tok I recommend for everybody..it's actually one of my first alicesoft games so it's a special place in my heart and the mc is very loveable so ull enjoy it with good seggs scene lol

I guess the most positive thing for me while playing was the gameplay aspect itself. The game feels smooth, you understand your own strength, so the progress is felt, and the mechanics of combat, even though basic, are well implemented. Sadly, throughout the game, random encounters start to feel too frequent as you run around the map, and being rewarded with uncommon enemies that could then be used as collectibles feels stretched, as the chance for it seemed minimal, giving more of a grindy feel than anything (being a porn-focused game, this doesn’t feel right in cohesion with the mechanic for capturing enemies).

However, the story is brilliant. Even though there are some untucked moments, it still feels like a well-constructed fantasy world where you can actually feel like a hero. On the downside, the hero and his personality were a bit amusing and, maybe in some moments, relatable as he "sees boobs, likes boobs." Later, this became counterproductive, as some maturity and character development based on lived adventures would have worked better. The same can't be said about the female characters, as each has a unique and well-established personality, even showing slight progress through the game, as they seemingly lack the "dick" to do the thinking, unlike the hero.

I must say, after halfway through the game, I turned on the cheat engine to make the average running around the map more enjoyable, which helped to negate the grind aspect. I still believe such things could be avoidable with slightly better encounter design.

Evenicle is a good game, that's missing some of the charm or inspiration, that you can find in the Rance series, and comparisons are unavoidable, unfortunately. Let's assume that you never heard of Rance, and you are just looking for a good mix of RPG gameplay and "VN story". This is one of your best options in English, and wholeheratedly recommended. If you are familiar with Rance series, and came here with expectations, things won't go as smoothly.

Positive:
- More than enough RPG - If we disregard the 18+, this is the main attraction. A well fleshed system, with lots of content, and a mentality that left old school behind (not particular grindy or difficult, overall).
- Heroines - Loli, genius, knight, princess, twins... There's diversity, likability, comedy, and more importantly they have memorable designs.
- H-scenes - Quantity, quality, originality (not that many tags, if you account for duration), many situations and characters. The 18+ is worth it.
- Premise/setting - Protagonist wants to marry his twin sisters, goes on an adventure, saves the world. What's there not to like? Lots of locations, large cast of allies and villains, the standard twists, and coming back home to "your" harem, every now and then.

- The best H-scene track of any VN - Not up for discussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx9nJVz9H7k .

Negative:
- It falls short of Rance - It feels bland, uninspired, repetitive, more cautious... it's not like the "protagonist needs to go around, pushing any female with a sprite down, but in practice some of that flair, is what's missing here. Not fair criticism in the slightest, but subjectively valid.

Score: 8/10. Great game, with solid 18+ content, the rpg side of things is nice, and the VN mechanics are not hurting things. This is an obvious recommendation for people looking for a combination of these 3 aspects, but the final condition (knowing the rance series) is definitely in the way of a good time.

Enjoy a story of a person who becomes a hero!~ Saves the world!~ Marries millions of sexy women and shows them pleasantries in the bedroom!~
...
Actually only ten but... there are women you can do without being married to them! AND WIVES DO NOT MIND!
...
What about the gameplay? JRPG with lots of unlockable abilities, perks and items you can find during your adventures!
...
Exploration may look a bit fun if you get into it but...
...better focus on the story, weird humor and hentai content.

All in all, enjoy a story about pervy kindhearted hero!~
Though be aware. There are some nasty rape scenes...

This is more than just a hentai game.. going in, I was just expecting a quick "good" time, but instead I got an amazing and fun adventure and it reeled me into the story that I've invested myself into instead which that has shocked me, that i even managed to almost 100% the game! (the only things missing things I've missed is some cgs that i wont specify.) though some parts i wont spoil but do be warned some of the scenes made my gut anxious, but i felt some of it was intended for the plot.

overall amazing story and twists
a bit of a grind but doable without min-maxing anything as much
the cgs are very lewd and enjoyable as well as the events that occurs

This has always been one of my favorite games. The free-roam, the good and balanced turn-based-combat, and the nsfw content is all 10/10 in my book. I always prefer games which have a focus on making actual gameplay. A nsfw game, which I would still play, even without the scenes.

2024 Review. if someone ask "is it worth it?"
well yes, but hear me out.

Story 4/5 (Good, but still a lot of plot hole)

I would say it's good and enjoyable. Actually I downloaded this game because I want H-Scene, but too bad. in this game H-Scene is unsatisfied for me. The art is good, it's just unsatisfied. At least it's replaced with good story. it mix with comedy (Mostly), a bit drama, and unexpected dark (and will piss you a lot). Story is good and the world setting is interesting, however, there are many things that doesn't make any sense. but yeah let's say it's a good anime with excellent harem girls.

Gameplay 4/5 (Balance but still easy to beat)

Gameplay is simple. It's JRPG with harem. but more friendly and casual. grinding exp doesn't take long. just run around, and kill everything in sight. but I kinda enjoy it more than Dohna Dohna. if you want a better weapon, or armor. you need to buy it from the shop, and when you kill the monsters, it will reward you with a better version of weapon/armor that you used. So when you arrive in the new town, don't forget to buy every weapon/armor in the shop.

Skills can obtained by get a crest, fight monsters, or just progress the story. but it's kinda disappointed there are not much healing items, and healing spell can be use only 1 time per battle. it's sound stupid but yeah I have no problem with it, since you will become op easily through grinding.

Also there is a lot of special event that you can interact. it could be side quests, lore, short romance story with each waifu, also special bosses fight that sometimes it's worth to fight, sometimes it's just waste your time.

The Harem 4/5 (An Almost Perfect Harem)

Alright hear me out. Let's start with the MC.

Asterisk (Aster) = Just a dude who want to marry his twin sisters next door, but he need to become a knight so he can marries both of them, but you know what will happen...

Aster is good guy, but DAMN he's too horny, and dumb.

he can hook up the girls by just keep calling them "Cute" and tell them "I wanna fuck!", and volá, get a wife.... (He is the MC. what do you expect?)

Let's say the world will be ended by now without his wives, and other side characters that more useful than him.

At least he's a good guy and will do anything to protect his wives. (But yeah if you don't like this guy, ignore him like I did.)

Ramius = The Best Waifu 10/10. She's a knight, royal, and very funny. Let's say she is the reason why I keep playing this game because she's so funny! Her chemistry with MC is mixed very well.

Riche = Normal Waifu. Not a wife we need, but she's a wife we deserved. Because she can control the harem not to do anything stupid, or she could join them to do some fun with MC. if you think she might be an annoying tsundere, she's not. She is more like a mother that try her best to control her children (Harem).

Gurigura = The Best Second Waifu (Also loli). She's a ranger, cute, and cheerful little sister. but she's very helpful. She's always stay alert and can sense the danger, and sometime she can be so thoughtful in serious situation that could surprise you. She's also optimistic, even though her past life is kinda harsh, and depressed. If you don't mind about she's a loli, this is the waifu that you might love her, and must protecc with all cost.

Kathryn (Kath) = Tsundere Nerd Waifu. She's the Zero knight with useful buff skills, but for me she's the most annoyed wife in the harem. Her backstories is sad, and emotional, I like it. but god damn why she need to be sarcastic most of the time... Her chemistry to the harem is not very well, and I don't have any romance feeling with her like Ramius, Riche, and Gurigura did. More like she's just a fwb who like to be nagative to others. I like tsundere, but this one is not what I would like to hang with..

All pros from her I can think is she's the only member that can buff everyone, and can figured out what to do next, while Aster is being too dumb.

There are more waifu, but they can't join the party, more like a side character that we can marries. TLDR they're good, and funny.

Overall 4/5

This is the Best Eroge JRPG game with funny story, and excellent waifu but too bad the H-Scene is unsatisfied sometimes, and there is a few Rape H-Scene that will make you pissed off (Don't worry, it won't happen to our wives). if you don't mind about that, this is a game that you need to play.

Even if the MC is a major coomer I will give it a 5/5 for the ability to make a wholesome harem game, straying from the usual rape, corruption, NTR trope these games take on the main characters at least.

Evenicle is a good game if you want to see what ero-rpgs are like. It's not perfect by any means but it does the job well and has a story with a fitting conclusion that most would be satisfied with.
The Art is a 7/10 most of the time although the ecchi scenes can look drab. . Most of the sex scenes consist of still images with voices and text that you'll have to click fifty times. The characters have great designs though and most of the heroines are cute and hot.
The Story is also nothing exemplary. A mix between Biblical and Arthurian lore combined in a fantasy setting with knights and dragons. It gets the job done and acts as a good setting for the battle between good and evil.
The Characters are mostly one note with some backgrounds to give them depth and personality. Not all are created equal and even among the heroines it's clear which ones (Ramius) are better than others. The MC is a pervert with a heart of gold out to sex women left and right. His actions can come across as crude but for the most part I had no problem with him. He wasn't a hero just a guy out to get as many women as possible.
The Gameplay is the most important aspect of this. Unlike most visual novels this is an RPG which for most means leveling and this game wants you to level hard. For most of the game you're fine just getting new equipment and using items and stats to your advantage. But once you hit the endgame all bets are off, and you start to feel the grind of battle.
Overall, I would say I enjoyed this game, but I probably won't replay it. The ideas behind the scenes are intriguing but come late for my interest. For what it is it accomplishes its job and I can say that it was a job well done.

Evenicle [v1.04] [AliceSoft]
A good game.
I'll be brief, I recommend the game because it's one of those games that I would gladly play even without the h-scene.

A game with turn-based gameplay that I loved, in fact I've never activated the auto battle, indeed, I think it's a useless function.
Even completionists will surely love the game, there is a lot to collect and I was never bored despite the many hours of gameplay.
Good graphics.

It doesn't deserve 5 because:
1- it's still an h-game, the scenes are not at all satisfactory;
2- Story that despite being very long, does not explain or explains badly or creates parts of the story without a logical sense;
3- Characters. Unfortunately the characters aren't well written, sure, they aren't bad, they have their own story but let's be honest, you can't empathize with them, maybe because of the story that doesn't make much sense, I don't know, but their development leaves you indifferent .
For example, the death of a certain character left me as before the start of the fight, I didn't care at all about the end of him.

I highly recommend the game.

Awesome game with a delightful gameplay and story!! Definitely a worth a play. This game has an elaborate plot, multiple characters with unique personalities and is voiced (!!) which really increases the immersiveness of the world. By the end of the story, I was really invested in each character and that is very rare for me. Minor criticism is that there is a little bit of grind, as is the nature of such Japanese games, but it is definitely worth it and the content is relatively well spaced out as to not make it feel boring at any point in time. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try out a game from a Japanese publisher.

This is hands down the best game (not H-game) I've found here.
The story is beautiful, I came here to rate it 5 stars because I am currently playing a part of the game that almost makes me want to cry, ffx ending style. You can argue that the MC is.. how to say it, not bland but... childish, sex obsessed? Knowing it's a H-game it's acceptable.
The art is crazy awesome, the worst part for me is the lack of animation, the only actual complaint I have about the game.
It is pretty vanilla most of the H-scenes, me having determined fetishes (some are shown but in a very small %) won't take it into account.
Voice act is awesome, I hate lolis but VA made me fall in love with Gurigura more than any other girl.
Grinding is easy and fast forward works wonders here.
I'm still to end it (crazy long game, you can argue it's positive or negative) but hell this is a 11/10 game, fully recommended.

Evenicle is The Best H-game I have ever played. I love this game so much i played it till 100%. Cleared all mini bosses, collected every cg and everything you can get. Everything about it is amazing. Music, gameplay, dialogues, story telling, world building. Characters are great too (though a little cliche). dozens hours of great fun and multiple faps.
Art 5/5
Story - 6/5
Gameplay 5/5
Fapability 5/5
Music/SFX 5/5
Originality 6/5

The gameplay is bad, the story is boring and you feel like you're not only playing a man-child, but an outright child. Also the idea that you have to marry people to have sex with them and sex outside of marriage being literally a root of misery is such a weird, weird obsession for an h-game.
The art is nice though.

The game was ok...until the mid point.

Now, they were using rape throughout the story to further the plot, but it was nearly always some random character you probably didn't care about. Then that completely changes. They start by upping the frequency of the times they use this trope, then they start doing it to characters you actually know, until it hits side characters. Then Main characters.

I gave up on this game at the mid point of chapter 6. It's very clear that these people need to stick to making Rance games, because they don't know how to write without rape being involved at.fucking.all. This game is an utter trash fire.

Overall:
The game is pretty fun, it is challenging at times but not too grindy.
Beautiful arts, they draw the girls really really cute in some scene.
Very good voice acting.
The story is funny, interesting with some very emotional moments.

However the last few chapters suddenly turn some characters evils so randomly it did them no justice.
The Rape and NTR content didn't go all the way, feel like they show up randomly for shock value and didn't get as much love and attention as other contents.

The girls:
Ramius: Best girl in team, always bring the funny to the scene.
Riche: Basic anime girl nothing special.
Guragura: A loli does cute loli things, a harem need one, so...whatever.
Kathryn: Weird, she has the best story but her chemistry with everyone is hit and miss.

Kyou and Kinou: pretty good, since the MC is so dedicated to them it makes you really routing for the two sisters, wincest!
Tio: good addition but need more screentime after joining.
Croix: hottest wife but her story is.....huh?
Erimo and Towa: SERIOUSLY? Do we need more loli? What a waste two wife slots.

Laurent: basic nun, no complain.
Burst: great characters, every scenes are hilarious, too bad just a side quest.
Silent: THE HOTTEST GIRL, shamefully again just a side quest.

Mertel, Lorenzo, Millet: they look amazing, wish they had more scenes of any kinds.

Natal: BEST GIRL, absolutely the cutest girl and they did her so dirty, why Himedere characters always get the short end?

Conclusion: When it good it really good but when it's not it's the worst. Still one of the best ecchi games, so try it out when you got time for some adventure!

Love this game. Wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started but it's some of the most fun I've had with a game (any game) in quite a while. It's hilarious, has nice visuals, tense moments, fun characters, some good CG, fun music ... My only gripe with it is that it isn't a particularly good adult game. The CG are nice and some of the scenes are hot, but it's a small part of the experience in general. So don't go into this looking for porn: This is a very fun JRPG with fun characters and good writing that also has some adult content sprinkled in.

I didn't make until the end. the story is not wow but the gameplay is fck awful so repetitive it gettting boring and the story is not worth to endure that gameplay, I didn't resist more than 10 hours, as much I want to love this one is a big miss for me.

Im not too inspired to write a full review on this and if you want to see a very good review just go to sseth's yt channel.

So im keeping this short,
Evenicle is a fun turn based rpg that isnt too in depth, but also not shallow enough to let you spam attack and be done with the game, the 5 party members give you enough variety to experiement and switch some combat styles around, you can switch skills on the go and swap them around as you like, for a turn based rpg its easy to pick up and has some good qols.

The story is thought out and connects itself well enough throughout each area you reach and builds upon the things you saw, its nothing that would amaze me, but its still pretty good nonetheless.
My main gripe would be that the party members up until the 4th joins feel dumbed down, but it rather looks like that was intended, so some things that look obviously dangerous with their experience, are often left alone until they are about to or when they escalate.

The characters are one of the strong points for me and make the dialogue pretty enjoyable, there is no one really from the party members i dont like and the other side chars are also mostly well done, the party interaction between them is pretty fun to watch, and their depth as chars is also deep enough to make me a little invested in them, its not too deep for everyone but enough to make me interested in them( and my pussy ass even almost cried for one of them).

One of the main issues i have starts here, the H-scenes.
Maybe my coomer brain rewired itself or I've seen too many other good games with good h-scenes, but evenicle didnt manage to make me horny or to give me the urge to jack off, not once.
I wouldnt even say that the vanilla stuff bothers me, most sex scenes at least for the girls you marry the first time, just all mostly go the same way since they are virgins, and after insertion they all lack personality to me, even the positions themselves feel very boring and how the characters act during sex.

For example i really liked kath's monologue before aster inserted his dong into kath and i like her smugness and how cunning she is and the rest of her personality, but the sex scenes dont really display that, neither are most scenes in character, and that honestly takes most of my interest away, since they feel very bland, the art itself is very good, but everything around the art in the h-scenes falls flat for me and every thought put into it.

I also expected the characters to be able to hold to aster up, after their first time, but the expressions are mostly the same during the scenes where they cycle through the same emotions, most of the time, which also feels wasted to me, since they already have a lot of personality in dialogue, like ramius' face where she has her eyes half closed, or almost every expression kath has, but sadly that isnt really utillised.

Some h-scenes also feel very out of place just to be there, where some of the girls get on it with monsters, which aster doesnt suddenly mind for some reason, even tho he is so hellbent on keeping the girls to himself, which just felt weird to read through.

Its also irritating that a lot of the sex happens off screen or just isnt drawn at all, and they often sound more interesting, than the h-scenes you actually have to go through.

I think overall the game is pretty good, the setting for the game itself as a hentai game works well and is very thought out, but it falls flat to provide any h-scenes that could get me off.

It was made to be a h-game, everything around it feels like a h-game, but the sex scenes give me the vibe as if the hentai is just an extra slapped onto the game.

If you arent hard to please or just straight up not interested in the h-aspect and just want some turn based rpg with a good setting and ok to good story, with a fun cast of characters, then go for it, if you are here for the h-scenes and if anything i wrote about the h-scenes would be a nono to you, i wouldnt recommend it solely for that.

Kath best girl.

Review Evenicle [v1.04]
Evenicle is a game that I regret playing.
I never wanted to write a review about this but even after years that I have played it, the game still bugs me, so I shall write a review I guess.

Story and themes

Evenicle has an anime tropey story with some interesting worldbuilding parts, sadly it is overshadowed by an awful cast of character, traumatizing scenes and grind hell.
The main protagonist, Aster, is awful, his main objective is to bang his sisters, which ok I have seen crazier plots, but he has no personal trait other than being horny, pervert and stupid.
If you think that he is just Rance, he is not, while Rance is a dumb villain that trashes the tropes of a ”JRPG hero”, Aster it’s a take on a good jrpg hero but horny and it just doesn’t work.
He is so annoying and hypocritical of his ideologies (Not on purpose) that it baffles me.
His wifes are just as tropey and dull, all the characters are predictable and so is the story, I swear I knew exactly what was going to happen.
The humor is fine, at first, you’ll probably laugh but it becomes immediately repetitive.
Another problem is marriage system, in this game you can marry people, but not the people you want, only the people that the game needs to Make the plot advance.
You the player won’t have any intimate relationship or buildup even for the chosen girl you’ll marry, and therefore all the sex scenes and marriages feel cheap.
To get to know better a character, you need to first bang her then you can optionally hang out with her, that should have been the contrary.
And if it was just a linear game I would not care, but Evenicle keeps putting fake choices everywhere that lead to nothing, (and it makes me go mad).
Side girls are harassed in rape and ntr scenes that aren’t avoidable but the game makes you think that are.
And I would not frankly care for that if the game didn’t always tell you with the character that rape is bad (But you showed me an entire scene for enjoyment purposes) and killing is bad (But the game makes fun of killing).

Gameplay
It’s a VN rpg, most of the times you’ll read or listen to some voice acting which is pretty good and the gameplay is fun… At the beginning.
Basically prepare yourself for: Grinding, random encounters, backtracking etc…
I stopped having fun at the second dungeon for how repetitive the game was.

Art
Yeah the art is good, that’s it, that’s the only thing I will say

Final thoughts
Evenicle is a chore of a game, either the dumb jokes after a brutal scene or the gameplay loop or the heavy cliché writing made me question life choices, I don’t recommend this game.
