RPGM - Completed - Gran Ende II [v1.06] [Hiwatari Honpo]

It's a neatly crafted RPG, but it treat H-content as separated feature rather than enhancing the plot.

While it has no grand story the world itself felt consistence, thanks to the companion comment, Npc Reaction, structured dungeons, and simple combat mechanic to streamlined the experience as if day's has passed.
Enemy has clear strategy to beat them, so even under leveled, there is a chance to beat stronger monster granted once known it's weakness and properly use of ailment.

It has trust mechanic that really stood out even though just used once, the fact that your companion healed Player Character after reaching certain threshold really gave meaning to her affection rather than just a simple value.

Now the H-content is really... forced.
Player can train the companion from innocent to obsessed nympho, which is hot but a grind to achieved.
However outside being initiated by the player, it will not change her base personality or play any plot significant for the overall story, making her seem like a first class actor despite the sheltered upbringing.
The side-heroine also painfully awkward, honestly it might be better if it has no H-content at all, but at the same time it wouldn't end up here and having this review.

It's just so peak, headpats/10.

I have REALLY wanted a simple RPG where protag meets a girl and they adventure together and fall in love and this hit that itch amazingly, that type of game is surprisingly hard to find. Being able to interact with Yuno and see her get more comfortable with you was great, she had things to say about most new places and rooms so I appreciated that a lot and headpats are always nice. I like the progression from sexually naive to debauched. I liked all the sex scenes, I wouldn't call them exceptional but they're good and uniformly so, no randomly bad ones.

I also like all the side characters, and even most of the characters in general like that receptionist knight. Hell I liked the protagonist even though they're pretty much just supposed to be a self insert. Realism isn't the correct word but it felt very grounded? No end of the world stakes, reasonable problems like shop inventory being delayed because of road issues, very few dumb evil dudes who are just there to make trouble, it's painted like the majority of people are reasonably competent and good which I appreciate.

The combat is a bit simple, I never bothered much with enemy weaknesses and the like, you can just spam basic attack and early spells for the most part. As long as you save the protag's TP to defend against boss specials you'll be fine. I also do not think there are any kissing scenes. Those are my only two real complaints. The music is standard RPG maker music, nothing exceptional, same for the sprites and dungeons.

It's a cute RPG with a cute elf girl you get to fall in love with and make lewder over time, along with some other cute girls you get to help and have sex with on the side. The story doesn't overstay its welcome and its well written enough even if it's not revolutionary. 9.5/10

Over all it is mediocre as a game but it is rly nice change of pace from amount of scummy and trash ntr games, cheating and rape.

This is simple rpg, with ok story, cute npc fallower and most scenes are nice.
----------------------
So:
Gameplay - 3/5 - average rpg, doesn't have annoying elements but deepness is mostly that you need to know when to cover/defend and manage stamina.

Story - 4/5 - story is short, but still nice, you need to remember that it is part of the series so it explains some stuff. It is not deep but deepness was not needed here.

Sex scenes -3/5 - simple but nice, lack voice acting but still ok, but this is what you can expect from rpg games.

----------------------------------------------
Depending on how you go about it sex scenes can be grindy to get. I would suggest playing till you unlock all basic scenes and see their higher lewd points versions from gallery after winning the game.

As for trial tower, last one needs you to cheat, amount of stats you need to even survive violet dragon is absurd. Go to save editor and change them, they are not as hidden as in some other games.

Depending on how you play I think it would take like 6-7 hours, while cheating maybe like 2-3?

Most of this rating rly is because of how rare nice casual sex games become, like most current games are female mc rape or male ntr games... or ugly bastard....

Boring. Handful of scenes. Grating RPGM combat with standard stats and stock monsters. Uninteresting to its core. However, it isn't bad. It's just very plain. It feels like it is pandering to the Teaching Feeling types but it just doesn't feel very dynamic in its approach. If you're fine with standard RPGM mechanics, a headpatting simulation, and a barely interesting story, it's fine enough I suppose.

Finished in about 7 hours

The story is surprisingly well made for an eroge and made me actually care about non protags. Combat is never truly challenging , Iirc I died twice in total but fun nontheless. If you fail to adapt to certain monsters they will wreck your shit and the game lays a heavy emphasis on it's progression systems. Never became grindy but the game expects you to be thorough in it's levels, only ever needed to "farm" once because I dodged the majority of encounters until then. sidecharacter scenes were passable but nothing grand, corruption of one of them gave it some meat. Main focus is on the heroine who we either headpat like the lawful citizens we are or help in her sexual awakening turning her from an innocent loli into a woman. Artstyle is generic but consistent, rpgm assets were most often used with coherence. Overall a good game and a great eroge, would've loved to see an actual sequel.

I downloaded this game expecting to fuck around and absolutely violate every orifice this small dark elf girl has as well as any other fuckable woman around. Ended up reserving only the comfiest of headpats to my non-existent adopted dark elf daughter and genuinely caring for each of side-characters that the MC can fuck to the point where I was invested in their safety and well-being.

The combat system is pretty decent. We have two characters with very distinct strength and weaknesses. The male MC has physical and cover skills, while the female MC has magic, buff, and debuff skills. All of them are pretty balanced in power and equally useful. The game also has a unique combat feature where the male MC is twice more likely to be attacked because he's the frontliner, which totally makes sense, and it also allows them to make the female MC very weak to attacks, giving significance to male MC's cover skill.

We can trigger H-scenes any time we want outside of battle, which is a plus. Unlocking more intense H-scenes may become a hassle though, since it requires you to grow female MC's horniness by repeating the already unlocked H-scenes. They are hot though so I didn't quite mind.

I got this game thinking perverted thoughts. Then I got closer to the girl I was supposed to frick. As time went on, and I headpatted her to my hearts content, my perv switched off, and my dad switched on.

You can play the whole game without doing anything to your adopted daughter.

5 Stars.

excellent game, the story entertains you, the gameplay does not become tedious, besides that you can avoid most of the monsters. I love how you end up corrupting your partner little by little
my favorite character is kuu ewe

One of the few games in my list of "Good and Wholesome-Ish Games Where you Take Care of your Partner".

While the gameplay isn't astonishing or different, it's not bad either. But honestly, this game is on my list because of the fluffy relationship you have with your elven companion and the story that actually makes you care some. Yes, it's not mind shatteringly deep, but it's still a nice story that just makes you want to take care of your little elf and give her some head pats. Which, note, you can do in this game.

Overall: 8.75 / 10
It's a nice wholesome (Or not, whichever you prefer) game that makes you wish you had an elf to cuddle with in real life.

Honestly, I enjoyed the gameplay and story more than the porn itself. I couldn't overpower my urge to protect the dark skinned loli enough to have sex, but the other scenes with her were pretty solid. The scenes with the other characters are good, but I feel like there isn't enough buildup or foreplay. The art in this game is great, and the combat is what really kept me playing. They hand you most of the gear on a silver platter, but there is enough of a hurdle to feel rewarded for it. Most of the time at least. The side stories aren't anything to call home about either, but it's an eroge. It gets the job done. At the end of the day, I'd say this game is worth playing, even if it takes a while to get to the good bits.

I have not been much in having started the game but I like it a lot, I like the interaction you have with Yuno and that later heals you for free after each battle, also change the images depending on the level you have with her, I hope they find more of this type and style, and the story is interesting

This is how a hentai game should be. Cute little elf that you can slowly show the joys of sex while patting her head occasionally few side characters that you can help and get a reward in the best form imaginable. Girls are virgins no whoring cuckold ntr and other bulshit. Rape that you prevent and bastards get what they deserve and a real happy ending and probably some chance to have another part of this. Fights are frequent yes but mostly skippable and not that difficult obviously you can make them easier with saveedit...This game is well worth playing and if you don't like the story (nothing new obviously at this point an original story is almost impossible) and the characters and the scenes there is something VERY wrong with you.

Very wholesome. As decent gameplay as you can expect from an rpg maker game, the real draw is the interaction between the player and the girls. No bad feels to be found here with any of the characters thankfully, especially with all the more depraved rpg maker games.

Wholesome game with good H-scenes. Recommended for anyone who likes to play white knight characters with a libido twist . Main heroine is a good girl deserving of pats

Docked a star for a bit of grind on H-scenes for said heroine (you have to repeat quite a few events, though they seem to have 3 stages depending on accumulated points ). The combat grind is not that bad, if you use XP boost from pork grill meal. I had 49 lvl by the end naturally clearing areas gathering all the loot. Couldn't kill Violet Dragon in temple of Trials though, Armageddon is too stronk.

It's really a little RPG that I had fun doing. The three sub-heroines were nice and the elf cute. Well, the scenario is nothing original but it follows. The "headpats" and "touching" system with "s" key is interesting but you have to grind a little too much to see all h-scenes. The mechanical combat makes some interesting clashes. It's a shame that you have to do too much level up to win at the end. The final fight is so difficult I dropped. Good anyway.
