RPGM - Completed - Goblin Conqueror [Final] [BanameiR]

In a few ways, the game feels very barebones, but in many ways it has great innovations. Nothing feels to drawn out like you'd see in many other H-games. You could feel that there is consider effort poured into this game

World design and building
- Practically everything uses default RPGM assets
- Lore is pretty basic except goblins have abnormalities and stuff
- Translation is confusing in a few spots but overall sounds close to native English

Gameplay
- You run around and fight goblins physically standing around, but there are also "random encounters". I hate those so I recommend buying one of the 2 items that reduce the chance of running into such encounters
- Turn based RPGM combat with a welcome twist. Enemy attacks gradually strip your character, each attack type has its own counter and your attacks are not limited by any MP or TP bars. Battles never feel drawn out although with how you have to rely on cues to figure out the correct attack, it takes a bit of time and confusion to get used to

The seggs
- Art looks a bit rough at first but after forcing myself to look past my "Japanese artist's hit tweet" standards, I learned to appreciate it (TL;DR it's decent)
- Very welcoming to see an H-game character simply get used to the seggs instead of "we goin down dis deep af horni spiral wooooooooooooo" (except in an ending maybe)
- Pregnancy: Get knocked up and you're stuck for 9 months in a hospital with a few sex scenes. Not exactly what I prefer but it works

Writing
- Decent progression, decent dialogue, very compelling twists, shoves just enough exposition down your throat
- One of those H-games that truly nail character development, especially in the pregnancy arc

Loved the story, the art is very well implemented and very nicely done, and the 2nd controllable female MC is a good touch. The combat is a bit RNG, so it's not the best playing experience in terms of combat.
The random encounters are very annoying after a while, in my opinion random encounters should never exist, very boring mechanic, but I used mtool to turn those off so its whatever.
The game is very good in its own right, from the art, to the story, to the status cards and seperate combat scenes.
This game would deserve 5 stars except for the biggest sin any game can commit... sending you back to the beginning of a dungeon where losing a battle is what needs to be done to see the scenes, really takes away from the quality of the game.
In my opinion, battles she loses should just send you back to the start of the current map at the maximum, except for boss battles, which is fully reversed in this game. Losing to garbage mobs will send you back to the beginning and losing to bosses will send you 1 map back, requiring you to just enter 1 room to restart the fight... a nice addition would be that at a certain submission level she doesnt drag her self back to the camp and just shrugs it off... which would actually make sense.

Over all, I enjoyed my time with this game, but there are some caveats that keep me from giving this all five stars and it mainly has to do with the combat and the pregnancy system.
First off, I really dig where the story went and the art, while simple, worked well enough for the style of game this is. If that were the end of it, I'd have been 100% happy with this game.
First negative: the combat. The rock-paper-scissor system this game implements is both random and also not at all random. When in combat, your character gives dialogue hinting at what attack the enemy will take and you use that information to counter with one of three attacks. Simple, right? Well, unfortunately when hitting the enemy, your characters dialogue in the next attack chance will not provide any hint as to what the enemy is going to do, effectively making it a random guess where you hope you've got the right attack selected. This really isn't a big deal for normal enemies, but for boss monsters, it absolutely is. Near the end of the game, one boss WILL insta defeat you if you make even a single mistake, which makes this random chance aspect really frustrating. Sucks to loss a virgin run because the game decided the give you the middle finger.
Next problem: the pregnancy system. As a huge pregnancy fan, I love the system this game implements on the surface. The idea of seeing what's growing in her womb as the days go by is fantastic. However, pregnancy in this game happens in real time, meaning that your character REALLY does need to go through the whole nine months for one pregnancy. While after waiting what felt like over 40 in-game days, your character finally comments about the pregnancy and the game puts a halt on the story so she can spend time in a side area of the game where you can finally give birth. To put it simply, all this means that you can't reasonably have more than one kid ever in this game. That really puts a damper on the whole system.
If pregnancy happened at a more reasonable pace and some of the randomness of combat was removed, I'd be a lot happier with this than what I was.

8.5/10 Gem of a game

+ Hot story
+ Good art
+ Good translation
+ Pregnancy system
+ Uncensored
+ Interesting yet not overly difficult combat

= No grind
= No animation

- I feel there could have been more done with the submission level; different routes, scene dialogue and such rather than just a different ending. The biggest flaw of this game is really how short it is with little replayability.
- The pregnancy system, while far better than most games nowadays, again just could have had a bit more done with it. From what I can tell it's basically a flag where getting pregnant once early in the game will add a hospital chapter in the middle of the game and then getting pregnant again does nothing other than saying "yep you're pregnant"
- No meaningful choices

Highkey one of the best rpgm games on this site. The art is pretty good as well. The story is honestly pretty good, could make it a manga if you cut out some parts and extend others. The main character is pretty likeable too. The combat is a bit like rock, paper, scissors but with the game giving hints and some good luck, the bosses and enemies can be beaten pretty easily. Only real downside is that the game is pretty short but its not that bad.

It's a short but interesting game.

The ugly :
Overall I genuinely think it's a great game, it covered most of my kinks and I wished there was more. I assume it's the dev's first game and it shows it has great potential, I can't wait to see their next work and I hope they will get the attention and support they deserve.

This game is just awesome. The protagonist is a swordwoman, and you cant go wrong with them! There are also a LOT of unique scenes in this game, and some bad ends. Most important, you can make a "virgin" playthrough, which feels good and it's actually quite hard!

I have no idea why this got a thread just now when it's been fully translated a long while ago by someone.

Although in all honesty maybe it's my fault for not reporting.
Anyways, don't expect too much out of the game.

Awfully simple gameplay, rock paper scissors, answer is essentially given to you via the speech bubble during combat, sex scenes are definitely pretty good though, I have a weakness for my characters getting fucked by those goblins. Awfully disappointed with how short the game is though, also, you don't need to buy anything to progress. Ending is very cliffhanger, it actually got interesting, the plot I mean. I honestly love how it's been built up from the start of meeting the antagonist.

Also isn't her name Kaname? Idk where the "mi" at the end of her name came from.

I haven't played this translation but the one I played is totally understandable and covers a decent amount either way.

Pretty good game. Only takes 3 hours or less to beat and get all endings. Art looks fine, the story was alright, and the gameplay is simple enough once you understand the attack patterns. Easy virgin run for those of you who do those, though you don't get anything for it. You only fuck goblins and goblin hybrids so if you're hoping for some normal sex this ain't the game for you.

I don't know what cj5kn was smoking when they made their review, so I'm going to clear up a few things. The combat in this game is not remotely random. The only reason they seem to believe it is random is because they played it in Japanese, where they wouldn't be able to understand the text cues. Each type of attack is indicated by our character's thoughts, and can be figured out within the first few minutes of playing. The only time where you might get confused is when she says "Looks like they're regretting it", as that one changes depending on the attack they made that they are regretting. Once again though, pay a little bit of attention and you'll figure out that as well - it is pretty intuitive. As for the game itself, it is fun and simple, doesn't try to be anything but what it says it is. Genuinely solid, so if it looks appealing to you there is no reason not to try it out.

This is a short, fun, and overall solid game. It is also entirely linear, with one optional divergence while pregnant. There are two ending branches depending on the submission score. There are a few extra scenes at the very end of the submission ending.

H-scenes are good, and there is progression depending on how many times you've seen that particular one (up to 3). There is a focus on breeding.

Combat is straightforward rock-paper-scissors but there's a hint as to what the opponent is going to do. I enjoyed this method because it was a bit novel and also allowed a player to lose without intentionally having to try to lose.

What I expected was your run-of-the-mill JPRG H-game and what I got was... something that was surprisingly much better.
Pros:
- The game doesn't drag; the pacing is good and never do you feel like you're stuck in some place for too long.
- The story is honestly surprisingly investing alongside the writing. It could've been... much worse but somehow it manages to be both comedic and then a bit cool at the end.
- The art, while it might look somewhat amateurish, honestly fits the vibe of the game and the scenes look good if that's the stuff you're interested in.
- There are sound effects to the scenes as opposed to just silence and the awkward sound of your finger tapping the Z key to get through.
- The game isn't too long; around 2-4 hours depending on how fast you are.
Cons:
- The gameplay is... a little too unpolished I guess. Or, the fighting is. The concept itself is fine, but it's sort of like playing Rock-Paper-Scissors in that you have no clue if you've picked the right option or not. This sounds cool on paper, but if you're someone like me that tries to do a virgin run first try then it can get... a little irritating. (Virgin run doesn't award you with a special ending btw that's just something I like doing myself.) EDIT: turns out it's actually pretty straight-forward if you pay attention early on lmao so strike this point.
- This is just a minor one but I guess no voice-effects for the scenes sort of counts as a con.
- This is sort of dumb but the game feels sort of small? Like. it feels like there could be more scenes given the corruption system.
Despite all of that, I'd honestly recommend it if you just want something short and fun. Surprisingly philosophical after a certain point and the end is honestly very cool. I do hope that the author makes more games, either ones just as short or some that are a little longer bc they definitely have a knack for it.

Played this in Japanese a while back. It gets everything right except the gameplay, which it gets so very wrong. It's almost completely random, and this leads to a tremendous amount of frustration when trying to actually complete the game. If it had stuck with typical RPG maker combat instead this would be an easy 5

I played this game in japanese version before and i really loved it, that why im very excited when the steam version come out .

The art for me is very beautiful and the combat has an unique rock-sissor-leaf system that actually doesnt rely on luck very much, but on player's prediction by looking at how the heroine comments on the enemies behaviors, and act accordingly in order the counter them(or be countered).

About the story, i dont want to spoil it so i will leave you to experient it yourself but for me i find the story very interesting, i also love how characters express themself in the game, and how they interact with each other, how the events affects the heroine, that make the story more engaging, make me even more curious and want explore the game to the last detail. There are 3 endings so the game is replayable as well.

The only cons of this game is that its not long enough, left me wanting more after completed evething, good thing is that the dev is making the 2nd game that in the same universe, so if you like this game you can follow the dev's ci-en page, there a trial version for the 2nd game already. Gotta wait sometime for the full release but i love this dev's unique art and story so i think it will be interesting as well.
