RPGM - Onhold - Grolokk [v0.65] [gacorman70]

Absolutely fantastic art, with some standard, but enjoyable rpgm gameplay. Dialogues are competently written, giving a distinct personality to each character. A little lean on the plot, but I actually think it works in the game's favor. Overall 9/10, great potential. Needs buttholes.

The story is a hybrid of classic sword'n'sorcery pulp and the "play as a goblin raping everyone" genre of porno games. I'm not super into either of those per se.

What makes this game special however is that it combines both of those concepts into a whacky fantasy world and subverts them, and I fucking love it.

This is one of a handful of porno games where the humour actually works. Unlike other f95 games that feature comedy, it doesn't superimpose bad jokes over porno tropes to make them edgy/cool/cute. It does the opposite of that - lampooning the tropes as they play out within the story. When a character jokes that a recently eaten warrior babe has an "eaten" disorder, it's not supposed to be edgy masculine banter. It's a stupid, gross comment, and that is precisely why it's funny.

The story complements the porno and not vice versa, which imo is the right approach. Nevertheless, it is interesting in it's own right and left me wanting to find out what happens next, a big achievement all by itself in the world of porn games/vns. The best thing about it though is that you play with the characters, not as them. The barely competent goblin warlord who for the most part succeeds despite himself is not a tabula rasa for the player's "choices" or "paths". He does his own thing and you the player tag along for the fun ride. Even the harem girls have a degree of personality because their relationship to the PC isn't determined by any branching "paths". The lack of substantial player input means the dev can write the kind of story they like. The results are superior to extensive roleplay -based narratives.

It should go without saying at this point that the writing is excellent.

Art is awesome and hawt. The babes are drawn in glorious sword'n'sorcery style - curves, creases and contours struggling to wrest free of scanty garb. There is no place for soft, suburban, saturday morning impressionism here. This is a Gorean parody world of manly men, womanly women, and goblinny goblins, all brought to life in bold lines and gawdy colours. Also, there are hand-drawn animations! Not a lot of them at the moment but the dev has indicated they intend to do more in the future (though given the low level of support that could take a while).

Gameplay is.... enjoyable??!!? Yup, believe it or not this RPGM porno game has enjoyable gameplay. And it's because the difficulty is more than reasonable, the lore and locations are properly fleshed out and there are hidden encounters/events that are worth discovering. The most notable of the latter being an anime intro/theme that triggers when you go to a certain location and... play it and find out for yourself.

I'd rate this 5/5 even without the explicit lewd stuff, and that's coming from me, the "what's the dl size to fap scene ratio" guy. It's a shame it's not more popular (especially patron-wise) because this is easily one of the best f95 games.

This whole game is worth it if only for the faux anime intro that suddenly occurs some ways in. Very stylish rpgm, well made as these things go. However, a little low on the sexy content which is to be expected from drawn visuals. Solid four out of five.

Game has a great concept and the art style is nice well draw and has some animations the combat is standard rpg maker which isn't bad and gets the job down the h scenes has good flavor text and are well drawn will defiantly look out for more updates and if you can support the creator and share the game

Awesome game as it is and there's still so much more to come!
I love ungly/monster MCs and this is one of the best games ever with this theme.
Top pro point:
Art and writing are both really good.
Top thing to improve:
Wish for more rapey content, since the girls are slaves, and gangbangs since it's goblins.

Time wasting, but with a good visual style, but only in 20% of the entire content. Transitions for 10 seconds is simply unbearable, I have no month for the passage of the game in the outdoor only boring battles.

This game is the definition of a diamond in the rough.

The art is amazing (hot, full color, shaded, many animations) and there's TONS of it. The standard attacks for each character have 2 (!!) CGs or even an animation to go along with them. Sometimes there's so much art that it changes to new art before I've had my fill. I think this game might have the highest art-to-gameplay ratio of any RPGM game I've played so far (although you don't get any truly fap material until 30-45+ mins of gametime).

The gameplay is tight, standard, and no-nonsense. There are no innovations, but no failings, either. Which is exactly appropriate for what this game wants to achieve.

Story wise, Grolokk revels in tropes. It acknowledges them and celebrates them. Every girl so far has been a bimbo/slut in waiting. While this premise could be boring, gacorman70's writing holds everything together with ease. The characters hurl humorous one liners at each other with no respite. Every line manages to toe the fine line between meanness and funniness. The tone is refreshingly lighthearted and boyish without being cringe. Basically, I found the humor more than enough to keep me engaged and with a few great moments.

Every harem member I've encountered so far is "free to go if they wish," (although naturally they won't ever do so) and has joined the harem apparently through persuasion and not force. This softens the edge of the raping and pillaging vibe of the story and is definitely a good move imo.

There are a few cons I'll point out: it doesn't have too much variety in the way of fetishes that I've found so far, it's rather short (to be expected of a 0.5 release), contains quite a few bugs (none gamebreaking so far, just out of bounds stuff), and it only has like 1 H scene for the first 30 mins (but the overall pacing is good).

TL;DR: Grolokk is a fucking great game and I can't wait for more content.

This is by far one of my favorite ero games, and I would encourage you to check it out.

Good:
*Artwork is beautiful. GA Corman is clearly an artist, I personally love the style which is sort of hand-drawn, Disney-princess/comic book-esque. Uses sound artistic principles (lighting, silhouette, color palettes, proportionality, etc).
*Sprites are GREAT. None of that default RPG garbage, chibi's are awesome. Probably some of the best sprites I have seen in any RPGMaker game.
*Cinematography. There is heavy influence from Sword & Sorcery films and cartoons of the 80s. He has great sense of visualization and cinematic technique (establishing shots, long shots, close-ups, perspective, etc).
*Story. The story appears to follows 3-act structure (hard to say as not yet complete), it is fun and engaging and well written.
*Dialogue is solid with different characters conveying different personalities and with different motivations.
*Humor. GA Corman is FUNNY. Like, actually laughing funny and I find myself actually wanting to read the dialogue which says a lot. Love your assitant Worm.
*Girls. Multiple hot chicks, doing requisite dirty things. Playing on different fantasy tropes that are very enjoyable.
*Strategy/progression. This is still a bit underdeveloped but the seeds are there. I like the progression in building up a base, gathering followers and gaining new equipment/armor/weapons. You have a warband advisor who manages the day-to-day of running a goblin war band. Its not super elaborate, but considering this is a one-man show being done as a hobby/side-gig (I think) this is incredibly impressive.
*Iteration. The dev has been responsive in his updates, fixing some of the grindiness of combat (random encounters) and adding in new content and improvements.
*Ambituous. I sincerely hope the Dev is able to finish this (I'm supporting him on patreon and you should too), because in addition to the story arc which is pretty large, the Dev has introduced animation (both dragon bones and hand drawn) and some slave-training mechanics that look VERY time consuming. The result will be impressive if he pulls it off.
*Kink. The ero stuff is very good but its a bit niche. Goblin on semi-reluctany girl action and some lactation fetish. Hey, that's cool to me but maybe its not your thing. Other than those two points, the sex scenes are fairly vanilla (in a good way) and well executed: BJ, doggie, tit-job, anal, etc.
*Music. Like the music selection, not sure if he ripped it, bought it, borrowed or composed it but not the standard RPG Maker crap and is appropriate.

Bad:
*Unfinished. This isn't strictly a bad thing, because hey, you have to start somewhere and this is pretty far along. But if you're looking for a complete game from start to finish, this ain't it.
*Ero-stuff not interactive. Think the Dev is actually working to change this, so it might develop into something really cool, but for now sex with the girls is mostly you click "sex" on a menu and then u get a couple of pictures with some dialogue. Half the games on this site don't have anything more than this, and GA Corman does it better than most, but it would be cooler if the sex acts meant something more to the game then simply getting a scene. Again, the Dev seems to be building out an animated, interactive, progressive sex system so if that pans out it will be amazing.
*Grind/balance. There's one quest in the beginning where you have to basically kill something like 6 or 7 different combat encounters that is really boring. I get it that is hard to come up with quests beyond fetch/kill quests but just grinding through half a dozen combats in a row is not exciting. Also there is one fetch quest where I had to look up where something was because it was not obvious at all. Maybe needs a hint system?
*Patreon-y. I get it, you have to do what the Patreon Gods decree, but some of the content should probably be a little bit less...consensual? I'm not talking about hardcore abusive rape but come on he's a friggin goblin and these chicks are supposed to be part of a slave harem.

Ugly:
Nothing about this game is ugly. Love the whole thing.

TLDR; This guy has talent. Seriously. If he completes this game it will be a true work of art. Maybe it's not your thing, but you can't say its not done well. Definitely follow this dude and support him on patreon and play this friggin game. Would give it 5 stars in a heart-beat if finished or a little more developed.

Perfect work i really love your animation And girls are awesome! Stay focused on your work Combat system its good too And its not about only sex thats perfect 2 hours playing so far ...

Overall I have played the game quite a bit so I think it's about time to do a tiny review.

As an introduction in this game we have a comedy game about a goblin with dreams of greatness, he wants to capture girls and build a harem while expanding his forces as much as he can.

All is good, it is quite interesting and in fact can be quite fun, but personally I didn't like a few things about the implementation:

-First let's talk about our initial companion, the red haired beauty, overall I think it would have been much more interesting if rather than eaten she was fucked and captured.

Related to that it would have made much more sense that our goblin hero after he is free he ran away rather than try to exterminate a whole village with just one companion... I have to say that I feel like the goblin shouldn't be able to do that... at that point at least.

Having another warband doing stuff and fighting it for control could have been much more interesting for the player compared to the fast result we got, even more it would have been more satisfying to defeat it.

-On another point I would have liked a bigger focus on the strategy aspect and management, first of all that there were merchants, peasants... travelling in the map here and there and you could attack them with your party.

Recruitment, fighting for territory, being able to win or lose territory and things like that could have made the game much more interesting.


Overall it's kind of nice as a game, it's just that I feel that it was a waste to not mix better strategy and RPG elements, that's mostly it. You can have fun if you are looking more towards a RPG game with a bit of comedy.

Really nice game with lots of good humor. I usually prefer 3dcg but the game is pretty entertaining so I don't mind. Sadly the game is still a ways from finished when writing this review but it's easy to imagine what the rest will be like. Can't wait to have a mega horde with a bona fide harem.

While similar to other Goblin protagonist games in plot and tropes (become chief, get all the wehmen, be a subversive badass, etc.) Grolokk also includes humour, a unique art style, and an entertainingly executed plot. The currently abrupt ending to the most recent version is a bit annoying, but has enough current content to leave you intrigued and wanting more.

Good, but not great, game

- Pro
- Humor and lightheartedness
- Reasonably sexy
- True comic style

- Con
- Short and unfinished
- Little sex scenes, and of simple quality
- A lot of needless combat
- Very unclear where to go next, and a lot of aimlessly milling around searching for quest items

Love the concept, corny and fun. The dick looks like a straight mushroom but I can get over it since it's a goblin. I wish the sex sounds were a bit more authentic but the art is great!
I had a great time playing this and can't wait to see the next chapter and the big titty queen!


Bugs:
Just ran into a glitch where the Mill girl was stuck on my screen after she was in my party. She got stuck on it somewhere between me banging her at my camp to when I went to the graveyard to get that girl.
I then fucked the witch eventually and it made her go away though.
Also when going back to the witch's tree house a clone of my whole party is just standing there. Cant interact with them.

i like the game. well done with the character development. hope to see more in the future. The type of game that you are going for is amazing. i would like to see more sex scenes. the story line is pretty good

Great game for anyone that loves harems and comedy. The writing is funny and worth reading. The art is good and original. Gameplay is fine but improvement is promised with upcoming patches. Also has an ending unlike most games currently.

The summary says it all. Fun and funny gameplay and story. It would be great to see more of this. I also enjoyed the graphics. They fit the theme of the game very well. Is there a second part planned?

Overall a well-made, enjoyable game. The art is fantastic but the absolute best part of this game for me was the writing. The dialogue was colorful and humorous. The characters felt much more alive and fleshed out than most other porn games. The story itself has a lot of potential for fun shenanigans in later installments which seems to be the goal.

There are some flaws though.

The gameplay itself is almost entirely fetch quests and scavenger hunts. I'd recommend a bit more variety in future installments. Maybe some puzzles, warband management, crafting, or just more fleshed out side quests with a bit more story to name a few ideas. I understand that as a 1 man team this might be asking a lot so it's merely a suggestion.

The combat is pretty grindy and, for the most part, lacks strategy or anything noteworthy. Since it seems like this is the first chapter or prologue it's not really that big of a deal, but in the future perhaps adding some more mechanics would be better. Party composition, weaknesses, combo skills, sex skills (similar in concept to the charm skill), etc.

The scenes themselves had some incongruity. Mostly just menu stuff. Some girls you had to choose each individual action while others had no menu or 2 options with multiple scenes attached. It can make the player feel like some girls have fewer scenes which can be disappointing depending on which girl they prefer.

These are minor flaws in my mind so I stand by the 5 star rating. I think the game is very well made and has a lot of potential for later chapters.

A nice little game with great potential!
The game play has a fresh take on things and the art style is very nice too and the women are appealing!
Sure the sexy time scenes could be over more images and some of the girls only had just a few images which was sad.

The only thing drawing this back is RPGM...
The UI as in all RPGM games is appalling and terrible to use, not mentioning interaction in the game map.

Any other RPGM game would've gotten a 3/5 at this stage, but not this!

Rating based on v.1.1

I hope that the creators will reach the end of the project. And to the end at a high level. This forum is full of unfinished pearls and great projects, whose creators after some time began to take a shortcut.

Good luck.
