RPGM - Grove [v0.308] [Grove Dev]

Grove [v0.308]: a uniquely good game that's nothing comparable on the market
At first glace you'd think it's just another niche RPGM game, but in fact It's a very well-thoughtout well-polished game packed with (steamy) contents and fun gameplay, as long as you don't strongly hate the kinks it has (furry, tentacles, mind control)
Pros:

• A unique combat sex system, not only super erotic, but super fun to play with
• A well handled structure, offers actual meaningful branching based on your action, not lazily laid out "dialog options" you pick from
• Great pacing and level design. The dev make sure you would experience everything they wish you to
• Great aesthetics and art direction
  • It somehow managed to fuse "Cute" and "Sexy" together, just not in the same frame
• Action packed, sex every step you play
• Good writing
• Lewd scenes hit just the right spot - lengthy enough with great details, but too long that you want to skip
• Don't require the "Grind" like traditional RPGM would

Cons:

• This is nuanced: The Gameover condition needs better balance
  • "Game Over" plays a big role in the game, and you want to experience every single one (they are very spicy), before progress the level
  • But this can become frustration very quick if you fail to figure out how to pass the level - repeatably meet the same gameover is not fun
• It's difficult to immerse oneself to MC (Grove), he's just too bland that doesn't even talk in game.
• Arts really could use some polish, but it's clearly still WIP so no big deal
• A RPGM game, hs every limitation that RPGM engine 'offers'

Amazing amount of content, beautiful aesthetics, actual story building with worth-while characters, wonderful art, very careful writing and attention to detail and fluff which makes the game feel alive AND you also get a high variety of lewd stuff interwoven in it all?

This deserves nothing but the highest praise.

The best furry porn game I've ever played. Not perfect, but damn close. I never expected to actually love the characters, but I do. Much of the wholesome content comes in bitesized segments or accompanied with cute art, but it's all very welcomed when paired with plenty of lewd content as well.

Battlefucking, a diverse array of fetishes, and a decent porn to grind ratio. The game's biggest flaw is the insistence on game-overs for porn sequences. I understand that, in this game, it's for the sake of finality when you lose, but it would still be far better without it. Normally, I'd knock off a star for this kind of nuisance. For this, though, I forgive it.
The game is just well worth your time.

Simply amazing, update 0.307 brought a ton of new content, there's quests and side quests now, a bunch of new dungeons to explore and many more sex scenes.
What surprised me the most is the amount of customization the devs made to RPGM, only the combat sounds and interface are standard, everything else have something custom made by the devs. Also liked that the level of corruption now affects how Grove reacts to encounters, beyond just not refusing sex.

Okay, I know it's pretty crazy, but this game is definitely awesome at its current stage.
It is well made and polished.
The story is very interesting together with the characters (apart from very subtle choices as you progress through the campaign).

The fights are very exciting and simple, without the RPG complexity that it usually has.

This game deserves your time and, who knows, your support!

Excellent game, I'm looking foward to the nexts upgrades to see what will happen in there, I can not barely hold myself for it. OMG it's pretty good so far, I wish it could stay this way until it ends. Let's hope that stays.

The story is interesting but I really like the battle system, I just wish you can still doother things in the grapple part. Too many game over holes so make sure to save before battling in low Health|STM....

The game is quite polished for a WIP, the art and voiceovers are simple yet effective, the scenes are very well written, and most importantly it does not play like any other rpg maker games. Fights are not annoying and are mostly avoidable, and the maps are well laid out so you don't have to backtrack

The level of content in this game for only being at its second major update is astounding. This is a true passion project and it shows. The grapple system is an ingenious way of introducing a bit of sexiness into the combat without creating a different enemy health pool for the player to focus on like most other games like this do. It knows its audience and it focuses its content on it and it's so appreciated. This game is great.
