RPGM - Happy End for Sorceress [v0.12] [QuiverQ]

Been awhile since I've found not only myself shambling down smut alley, but also finding something honestly new and shiny, in as much as it has the same ol' rough edges that defined many a previous diamond in the rough.

Whether that's due to where the version number sits or just the dev's own style is yet to be seen. What I do know is that there are some biases you should know before getting into this review. I've played hundreds of hrpg's, most of them being corruption based and most of them being God awful. So expect some rose tint on finding some fuckin' good lewds for once.

As for vets out there that have probably played a similar amount and have just gone through all the good stuff, you already know there's only so much you can do with the formula and it legitimately takes about five years for a real slam-dunk to release and shake up the entire genre, if ever. This is not one of them, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I think it boils down to the focus, and whether the focus is engaging. I think it truly is, and with my rose tinted spectacles we'll see if it's worth your time.

Anywho, onto the review.

Happy End for Sorceress is really your classic story but with a nice twist, typical anime-esque fantasy setting where the Demon Lord is defeated, the great Hero Band of olde disbands and now their arch sorceress, the most powerful of the land is left to wonder What do I do now?

Not much, and that leads her to drinking through her retirement (who wouldn't?), yet after meandering through life she suddenly finds out the captain of the guard, a dear friend of hers before taking up her auspicious adventure, is suddenly a mega-sloot. This of course pushes her to find out, and make choices on figuring not only why this is happening, but how to put an end to it...or, perhaps even join it?

If that tantalizes you, that's the reason why it tantalized me. This game levels choices at you that I think a lot of corruption rpg's lack. For most corruption rpg's you will passively attain slootery throughout the game, unlock sidequests that cater to that, and somehow despite banging the whole town, end up being the chosen one on still defeating the very thing you enjoy.

This game twists things into a more digestible manner, as the thing I like about this game is that it truly delves into (porn-logic mind you) choices on whether the big bad really is the big bad. As it leads on the age old question of I'm retired, a supervirgin and my whole life has been spent fighting the arch enemy, why not...cut loose a little bit?

That's the main tenet of not only the game, but even the main character is where she can stop at any point, absolutely demolish everything, and slaughter the entire conspiracy if she wants to (she's immune to hypnotizing silliness)...but the choices you can make pretty much rationalize her into not wanting to give up actual pleasure in her life for once. Which with said writing actually leads to better rationalized corruption rather than cookie-cutter reasonings.

And I think that's the best thing going for this game, it feels like the Sorceress is trying at every point to rationalize what she's doing, whether it's right or wrong, and even accepting at points that yes, she does want to be a sloot.

It's a very hot premise, and it balances itself between whether she wants to be a dom or sub for the most part or if you just want a more clean-cut fuck it option, Aside from that silliness, I think both paths are pretty fleshed out in balancing each other and I only wonder if the dev will have some sort of middle ground for players that swing both sides. As one thing I'm already seeing is that the more you lean one way, the more that locks out the other (potentially). So I won't say it's a bad thing, more so a choice in what you want your sorceress to be.

And another thing too is that, it does have some shamblings that veteran hrpg enjoyers may or may not find distasteful. I thought it was rather well-paced but I can see where it can also be seen lewds coming too fast. For spoilers; Tl;dr version, it goes a little fast on prude to lewd but I think there's good enough writing to explain why.

And with that, I think the only thing lacking in this game is just how short it is due to it being relatively early. There's still a good amount of story and lewd to keep you engaged and even some memorable scenes, and I think with each new version it does truly keep getting better. Another thing that could be a damper is the visuals. I think however, visuals on a successful trajectory can always be reworked, it's whether there was substance to begin with that matters. And there's heaps here where I think the dev truly wants to make a corruption rpg that not only makes sense but is also just fun with how the sorceress is characterized.

That's why I think I'm going to give this a 5/5--so long as it continues crunching through and contrasting against so many hrpg's that steer away from a protag that actually thinks. As I feel that what this game does right is create that beautiful MC that feels out a story where they wanted this but have yet to embrace that part of themselves while still acknowledging that this is all, so beautifully wrong.

I wish the dev luck along the way and for this not to crash and burn on some arbitrary version number . 5/5, please more true wtf am i doing debauchery.

A game with potential, rough around the edges, with fairly decent setup.

A powerful sorcerer, but poorly socialized virgin, unlocks her deviant side, gradually falling into corruption. She is overpowered and feels in control, just "acting".

Currently there is a little content, just few scenes, and the ones that are, are progressing not very smoothly.

Some faces, facial animations look square like, hulkish. Women should be a little bit more feminine, and faces could be a lot better.

Some bugs, I had non-clip. Lack of direction, quest log, poor city layout. Some of the dialogues especially flashbacks, need to be shortened or condensed into few pages, instead of 10-15 mins of scrolling.

This can go either to 3/5 or 5/5 with future updates.

A little rough around the edges, some of the animations look a little stilted. Nevertheless the model, scenes and content is top notch. It's the great kind of corruption story where the heroine is extremely dangerous, she could put and end to all of this but steadily chooses not to..

"It's a pretty good small game—both the models and story are well done, plus the H-scenes convey emotions perfectly. I’d love to see more choices in future updates. Also, I’d like to see the FMC get some tattoos and nipple piercings in the future.

Good game and Waiting for more currently i completed everything there's to play and I am hoping for the continuation of main quest, and maid plot, they both looked interesting, the characterization of sorcereess was written nicely and the structure of the plot was constructed in simple yet straight to the point manner.

Game has a great potential. There is some things i haven't seen in other games, therefore it's not a hoary old chestnut. Game is a little bugged and save option could remember last save position.

To sum up, game looks promising and I'm looking forward for next updates.

Good start. Lots of bugs right now with freezes and stuck images, but enjoyed it and looking forward to future releases. As of this review, the park scene is broken right now, along with the maid evening scene. There are a few heart icons that don't do anything in the main residential map.

Really do enjoy the basic plot. How this is from a sorcerer who already teamed up with the hero to defeat the big evil boss. Yet now that there is not big danger to the world, she is a bit aimless on what she is to do with the rest of her life. Really reminds me of the Anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. It makes sense she would think her friend of the Town Guardian is possessed with walking around in a skin-tight uniform and hook up with random guys. Just something to mix up the boredom besides drinking her problems away.

Also like the 3D artwork in the game as well. Also love how big the dicks and breasts are in the artwork. There can even be animations as well. My favorite part being the bulge the dick does when hitting the green-haired girl’s stomach. Well done with that.

Was also impressed by the different music that played throughout the game. Well done there as well. Helps get the different zones and events a bit more of a punch.

Though did find it a bit weird that some areas, you can just step on and pass through normally but other locations to transfer to the next map, you need to hit the action button.

Also, like how creative the main story is with the sorceress needing to trail her friend while she is having sex to read her mind to figure out what has happened to her. That was quite a cool way for the story to progress.

There was a glitch when I went into a woman’s house and the game froze on me. Also got another glitch where the game would freeze on a black screen after having sex with the warden.
