Others - Completed - Half-Demon Shinobi [2024-12-19] [Sloth Gamer / Gentlemen's palace / Maker]

I played quite a few RPGM games and this is the most high quality and best RPGM game out there without pre-rendered frames/animations. I can't believe this game is made by the RPGM engine, it is too refined. You can see the attention to detail with the art and animations; even the loading screen looks premium.

Animations, scenes, card combat system, story, voice 10/10. I thought I'd only be playing for a shortwhile for the scenes but I turned out playing a lot longer because of how addictive the combat system is and how good the story is. Makes you want to keep playing.

I really like how you play as a male protagonist that really protects and looks after the girls like a true high value gentleman. You don't see many of this anymore.

The only negative for me is during sex in free mode and you click on an action, the girls voice orgasms only last about 10 seconds, it is not continuous and you would have to click on the action again to reset the voice. The voices are really good though; it really turns you on.

Pityfull combat system ... mostly pseudo random shit, no intels on combat to come so no way to anticipate a usefull build ... no intels on enemy ... go away this game is not worth your time.
the porn cgi are okay but nothing amazing either.

Pretty good game. Actually the best chinese Dev H-game I've seen so far. Though there are some feature that is not functioning at all & not finished, the game is very much playable & fully enjoyable.

The story writing is simple & easy to understand without stress you out for long boring text like typical VN, while still has well logic connection.

Animation look like post-edit AI drawing, but isn't bad at all, it is actually pretty high quality. Female chars body actually look attractive & feminine. H-scene is Fapable, but not quite satisfying with the Female orgasm draw, last too short, like the guy only satisfy her for only 0.5s lol.

Voice acting is dualingus, Jap+ Chinese. But Japanese is way better with on point expression & emotion, on a whole different lv, so I use Jap all game. Chinese voice lack too much emotion.

Gameplay is surprisingly well designed, and really enjoyable. Has really good depth of strategy, with enough help giving so you are not really struggle too much to get stressed & having to grind thing out. And often give you the right item/card you need the most for the next enemy if your deck is not too hard a crap.

Cost me around 16 hours to unlock everything, but feel totally worth it.

Came for the actually well drawn main characters, stayed for the actually interesting roguelike deck builder. Slay the Spire levels of depth this is not, but are you really expecting that out of a hentai game? Be happy that the graphic design and UI are actually not taxing to look at.

This review is for the full game on Steam (this thread currently has only the demo). It took 12.5 hours to finish the game (all missions on normal and hard, getting the true ending).

The core gameplay loop is primarily inspired by Slay The Spire. Deckbuilding along the the run, you get bits and pieces of character development and story as you go (including lewd scenes). Though, there's also a "battle" mode for those who want to replay for the gameplay without having to skip through scenes you've already seen.

The gameplay here actually ended up hooking me, which surprised me since I play a ton of games and bounce off most of them. Even after I came to an H-scene, I kept playing just for the gameplay, and when I finished a second time and stopped for the night, I still wanted to keep playing. I don't expect this will be a game that I keep playing after I finish the story, but tbh that doesn't mean much from me, since I usually play games once and then put them down before returning to gameplay-focused big-budget stuff (like Monster Hunter).

Has voice acting in both Japanese and Chinese, but only for the women's dialogue.

Scenes are animated (not by hand, but using some tool, maybe Live2D, no idea really). I actually normally don't like these kind of animated CGs, I usually prefer static images, but in this game I found myself enjoying them.

Erotic content: You have full scenes, with kinetic novel style text and animated CGs, which play after certain battles or encounters. There's rape-on-defeat scenes, but it asks you and you can skip them, and it seems you can still see the CGs later in a different context. In battles, you have the shinobi girl onscreen, where she takes clothing damage as she loses health. She also faces towards the enemy, away from the "camera" and you see her butt bouncing nonstop lol.

Writing is good enough. Not super amazing, but I'm enjoying it decently enough. Scene writing isn't always super erotic but it's nonetheless an appreciated animation accompaniment, and the text does have a few good lines. The tone is pretty lighthearted. Didn't notice grammar mistakes. Has auto-advance, textlog, hide text.

A pretty good experience overall.

Gameplay is rogue-like, with you trying to build a deck of 6 cards, all of which you draw each turn. I personally found the gameplay good enough to play it to the end, seems like there are at least 2 winning strategies

Animations are quite rare, as you will encounter only 3-4 during your whole playthrough, with only 3 being unique with the heroine

For now, the game is very short, offering only 1 class to play as, so expect no more then 2 hours of content.

Surely will revisin when the game is updated
