RPGM - Completed - Holy Light Flash Princess Pony Celes [v1.01] [SukiyaKING]

Just another ask save for gallery type of game, there is no h battle only lose to see scene, game is boring meant to be played with cheat even the game providd you with easy mode.
Art is superb, the voice acting is nice but i can just read h-manga or go watch hentai if i want that.

I was going to rate this poor, but remembered that I was comparing it to Pure Flare. I hate to compare games to each other, though I know that inherently, this rating is made by implicitly doing so. Basically, someone complained about why Pure Flare was rated so highly, but Pony Celes was so low, or something along those lines.

Well, I'm going to get into that.

Story: The story of Pony Celes is somewhat... mismanaged. Let's say that. So, the story starts with the main character running out of school and doing all this stuff to help people and fight off Zydra, or whatever they call themselves. Bent on world domination at the service of their dark lord... typical, standard, magical girl vs monsters fare. The pacing fucking sucks though, you spend like, 3 chapters just chilling before you actually know why the events of the game are even happening. Then the last two chapters are just fucking loaded with information.
However, there are two... antagonist characters in this story that aren't initially associated with the evil gang, and they are... the worst. One is the NTR guy, who basically won't stop talking about how bad he wants to rape the MC. He literally will not shut up, he spends like 10 fucking text boxes every time he's on screen talking about how bad he wants to rape her. The pacing suffers so much because of this guy and he's barely relevant aside from joining the forces of evil later in the story in the true ending.
The girl, the jealous girl who wants your boyfriend... You save her life and then she resolves to kill you. She basically does nothing besides being a seething villain until the end of the story where she, admittedly, does try to redeem herself a little by betraying her boss, but like... Her dad is dead and apparently left her this crazy powerful stone that the evil forces have been looking for that they know she has, and this doesn't come up until she gets turned to the forces of evil, who are responsible for killing her dad.

Porn: There are really few scenes. Getting defeated in combat chucks you straight to a game over screen, and some of the bosses have multiple bad ending CGs. That being said, these scenes last forever and largely lack penetrative sex, and are kind of just stills, that don't really have a lot in the way of... movement? Dynamism? Sound design? Also, there's a weird amount of pissing.

Also, despite it being directly implied that the boyfriend and Yui fuck, they just fade to black because there is no vanilla route in this game and the NTR route only has 3 scenes, only 2 of which actually contain sex.

Gameplay: Gameplay is brutal, for no good reason. Almost all of your healing items cannot be used in the middle of battle. Since items are useless, what about skills? All of your heals except for the most basic heal that only heals a flat 200 hp without any scaling are on cool downs. Healing is actively fucking bad for you in this game, because it wastes turns and mana on a skill that barely helps you, because if you want to use large heals, you have to expend more mana and you might not be able to outpace the damage you take. It's literally just dependent on your stats going into the fight.
Speaking of stats, there's just like, 10 billion fucking things to do on the side. Collect coins. Find star keys. Parkour around to find hidden chests. Find the hidden clowns.
None of these systems contribute to pornography, they're just... things that happen? I thought that Lewdness would be a vital stat to raise, there's like, two scenes that require a certain Lewdness level.

If I had not played Pure Flare, maybe I would have rated this better, which is why I give this an average score and not poor.

This is entirely a bittered review: I despise this game for the fact it's a relatively modern game, with modern graphics — but it has the most 1981 controls and features I've ever experienced.

No map? Or map marker? No quest log? No general waypoint? The first mission tells you to go to fels department store or whatever, and it says its in south district-whatever.

You think you'd have to search the district, right? Wrong. You have to go to the train station, go underground despite nothing suggesting that, and then board the train, because you for some reason can't board the train on the surface. All of this, while not being able to skip dialogue, so if you're like me, who interacted with every npc in the area, you have to hold down Z and watch as text are fast-forwarded. Not skipped. Fast. Forwarded. A speed up that's so agonizing it just feels like I'm on normal speed.

And I won't forget the first minigame I experienced: the Gym. It's not rigged, but it is stacked against you. Confined space, enemy that wins in close-quarters, and you have an attack that hits two spaces away from you, but doesn't hit anything between that space. And if you do manage to hit your enemy, they gain a speed boost and grapple you, forcing you into an unskippable ten second long wait before leaving stunned for an entire second next. Yeah, totally fair.

Did I forget to mention how there is no skip button? If you're like me, and suffer from arbitrary perfectionism, you're going to reset it over and over again to win the minigame — only to suffer from a minute long dialogue scene that can't be skipped, BECAUSE THIS GAME IS MASQEURADING AS A MODERN GAME WHEN ITS REALLY FROM THE YEAR 2000!

Good art, good and interesting main female character. Visually I can't really fault it. Bigger breasts maybe in one form of the heroine to another? There isn't much of a difference in body type.

Big issue is that the central love interest feels too much like a super plot device. He is always there to save the main character if she needs it. I know the whole thing is supposed to be about the power of love... but come on! I hated the fact you needed his help to pass by a certain series of fights. Very bad.

It has great RPG elements and decent fighting, although it gets repetitive. The ending and the true ending are not different enough to matter much. They had a chance there to do something really good, I could see many ways to take the True Ending in a very different direction.

Other than that, The achievements are fun. I really enjoyed searching out the different side dungeons, trying to explore the maps and needing to figure out the various traps. Trying to find the clone was really neat. Some of the humor was good, but it was mainly puzzle solving and exploration that makes this game fun.

That being said, when it comes to actual h-scenes, faaaar too much of it is game over rape. If that kink is not what you're looking for, it really doesn't have enough of anything else to interest. I got hooked by the achievements and the characters. The lewdness parameter doesn't really matter anywhere near enough. If the female character is raped by an old homeless guy there needs to be more about it, about having lost her virginity, but there really isn't.
AGAIN: if game-over rape is not your thing, this game is really not what you're looking for.


The NTR plot line is good but not great. The person you get corrupted by is fantastic. Smart, sneaky, decent looking, typical bad boy but with a brain.
But the collapse should have been gradual, not a single choice on the female MC. You can see the main female haracter's opinion of him changing a bit, but there's no hint of any deeper interest in him until that choice comes up.

And then shifting to moving around the main love interest and not having a actual useful choice was bad. I would have really liked a more gradual fall there.
A few more scenes with the otaku, more gradual scenes with the gym teacher would also not have gone amiss. And maybe a few lesbian scenes, fem dom stuff?

I liked playing Pony Celes but only for the puzzles and exploration. And that really is not a good sign when you're talking about a hentai game.

The redeeming quality that this game has is the Art, game mechanic, and the voice-over for the heroine. Other than that all of it feel a bit meh.

The story feels like almost a carbon copy of 'Magical Girl Celesphonia' but with a bit of NTR mixing.

The NTR feels very lackluster.

The only way to see a H-scene was to lose to an enemy with a certain condition. Some scenes are good, but others are not very good at all (the lacking of sex scene in this game is very disappointing).

There is sadly no H-system in this game, which is kinda disappointing. This resulting to no H-parameter including corruption parameter for this game.

Conclusion, this game has a lot of potential, but sadly all of that go to waste with what I just said above.

2/5

TL;DR: You like corruption elements, NTR elements, good story, good gameplay, hate Game Over Rape, don't play. If you like ryona, rape, humiliation, wetworks, etc. content and don't mind GOR, try it out.

Holy Light Flash Princess Pony Celes is a game that I have very mixed feelings about, despite my frankly egregiously positive score for it. On one hand, it is, at best, an exceedingly plodding, poorly balanced turn-based RPG with sometimes frustrating quest designs and map layouts with a largely forgettable plot and cast of characters. On the other hand, for those who fall into the somewhat niche audience that this work's h-scenes appeals to, it has some of the best scenes of its kind, and unless something around the quality of Demons Roots comes out this year, I have every reason to believe that this game will be my personal favorite h-game of the year; and to pre-empt claims, yes, I am very, very biased. However, I very much recognize the many, many flaws this game has, and that, for the vast majority of people, this game will completely miss the mark. So, I shall detail and analyze each aspect of the game as objectively as I can so that you may decide if this game is up your alley. This review will contain spoilers for the game, nothing super huge except maybe details surrounding the NTR Ending.

First, let's talk about the story. It exists. Moving on - okay, no, let's seriously talk about it. It's... fine? It's your bog standard magical girl story of a normal high school girl being given powers by a cute little mascot creature and then she has to fight an evil organization that wants to take over the world while hiding her identity and balancing her hero life with her normal life. You can basically guess every twist and turn several chapters in advance, and none of the characters are even remotely memorable, be they on the good or evil side of this story; the one character who is remotely memorable is still marred by the complete wasted potential of her character despite being a fairly major player in the plot. Some may say that story isn't that important in h-games, but I would personally disagree. Having a good story with interesting and likable characters enhances the overall experience, including the actual erotic scenes; you will be far more into characters that you actually know and care about getting porked than ones you really don't have any attachment. The overall failure of the writing is especially baffling to me, as the dev's previous game, Brilliant Blossom Princess Prececile, another magical girl h-game, had a far more interesting main plot and cast of characters, that's a story for another time. To sum it up, you aren't playing the game for the plot. But you'd at least hope the gameplay is good, at least?

The gameplay is not good. In fact, I would say it's pretty bad. It's not horrifically terrible or borderline unplayable, it's just... not well balanced at all. Oh, sure, the first few chapters are fine, but you really start to feel the wrinkles as you go into the middle section. The first problem you run into is that the game is all too okay with letting you run into areas that will absolutely wreck your shit. Yes, these sections are optional, but when Chapter 3 (out of 9 or 10, by the way) is letting you tackle the game's equivalent of a post-game dungeon without even really giving you a hint that you're doing so until you run into an enemy that takes half your HP with two attacks, that's kind of a dick move. Another flaw is that healing with MP sucks dick; your initial heal only heals maybe around 15% of your Max HP, which is a problem since it costs 15 MP to cast, and your starting MP is 100. This is a problem that persists throughout the entire game since even the strongest spell only heals about 40% of your Max HP, costs 4 times as much as your first heal, and has a fucking turn cooldown if you use it in battle. So, if you are badly hurt, you will essentially be burning through your mana pool in order to heal yourself, which means that you have less mana to use your offensive spells, which means you get hurt more often, which makes you feel like you just wasted MP. However, there is a fix, in that purchasable healing items provide pretty good MP recovery and even some HP items.

Unfortunately, this dovetails into the next problem with the gameplay, in that money is very scarce in the early and mid game, and purchasable equipment costs an arm and a leg. Which is another problem, because you largely rely on equipment to become stronger, and new equipment unlocks with every chapter. This means it can be very easy to fall into the trap of waiting far too long to upgrade your equipment due to the costs and the knowledge that new, even more expensive armor will be available soon, which is even further compounded by the fact that some of the dungeons (optional and main story) will give you some pretty good equipment as loot, making you even less likely to buy equipment in fear that you'll just find an extra copy or even an upgrade as loot somewhere. I have a personal example where I found a pretty good pair of earrings early on in a dungeon (earrings boost your magic damage). Since I got those, I just didn't buy any for around 4-5 chapters since I thought I might get another pair as loot along the lines. I did not. Instead, I barreled through the game with piss-poor magic damage that was only marginally better than regular attacking until I said fuck it and bought a brand new pair with about a third of my money, and my magic damage easily doubled or perhaps even tripled, making fights much easier than they had been. This, I admit, is a personal failing of mine, but it was one that the game very much did not go out of its way to correct, which I see as a flaw in and of itself. Of course, by the end of the game, you have so much money that you can just buy whatever you want, and you run into the opposite problem where everything is a complete and utter cakewalk, including the bosses. So to sum up, gameplay sucks.

But, the game isn't all fighting and fucking; sometimes it deviates from the norm and presents you with minigames and other activities to break up the monotony. So how does it fare? Pretty fucking badly, with them being jank at best and frustrating at worst. The quickest and most egregious is, unfortunately, near the beginning of the game, with the karate minigame with the pervert gym teacher. Even though this section is entirely optional, a good brunt of the complaints about this game center around this section, and I frankly can't blame them too much. The game does give you a hint to make it easier if you lose and watch the h-scene, but those super obstinate may just reload and try without even seeing it, which would lead into a very frustrating scenario, especially since you have to sit through a fairly lengthy cutscene each time you want to redo the fight. The fact that the dev decided to have this minigame this early is baffling, especially since it was also present in the demo that released several months before the game released and the dev didn't change a thing about it despite almost certainly getting the same criticism as it's getting now.

If that was the only such minigame, it would be a frustrating affair, but ultimately forgivable. However, it is not. The other example I can think of is two separate occasions in the undercover bunny girl mission (it makes sense in context). The first is actually starting the job. The game makes it think that this "minigame" works like several other maid/bartending minigames in other games, with customers occasionally asking for drinks and you have to get there quickly in order to satisfy them. This is a complete fucking lie. Instead, the entire thing is incredibly scripted, and to even activate a customer to want drinks, you have to go to the fucking staff waiting room and talk to one of the bunny girls there, and only then will a fucking customer ask for drinks. I am absolutely fucking baffled as to why the dev even thought such a misleading questline would be an even remotely good idea, given the relative commonality of such a minigame in so many others of its like. And that's not even where the bad part ends. Shortly after that, in order to get access to a code to a room later on, you have to go through a really jank stealth section. Is it patterned after a generic stealth mission? I fucking wish. Instead, what you have to do is get spotted by a guard, then jump over a counter, and then their AI just... kind of stops. But you have to make sure that they stop at a point where they can't see your character, or else they'll keep chasing you, and you're kind of fucked. Oh, and you have to do this with two more guards. Oh, and even though it presents the right path as a viable one, if you actually manage to get through to the right section of the guards, there's another one right there at the second floor who's unavoidable and you have to go back to the beginning and go left instead. It's just... so fucking odd and nigh incomprehensible to me how something like this made it through the planning phase.

Lastly, let's talk about the H-scenes. Now, this is where I should be positive, as I said that the h-scenes are my favorite parts of this game, right? Right! ...Except, before I get to the positives, I will first tackle the negatives, or at least negatives for the vast majority of people. Let me rip off the bandaid right now: 80% of the scenes in this game are Game Over Rape. There are around maybe 8 scenes that aren't, and all but one are either masturbation or molestation. Even the fabled NTR ending is basically a glorified Game Over Rape scene as the game ends several chapters early with that, and it basically just kicks you to the title screen. This factoid will alienate about 70% of the playerbase on this site as GOR is the bane to most users' existence, or at least that's the overall opinion I've gathered in the case from the comments and reviews. But things are at least looking good for NTR people and corruption fans, right?

The NTR fans got fucked and the corruption fans wish they even got that. The NTR elements of this game are practically an after-thought, with a few NTR-ish elements popping in some of the GOR scenes, and the actual "Self-Insert character gets cucked out of their main love interest by a gigachad" section is literally just the NTR Ending part, which is about 20 minutes of "follow the linear path" as the guy gets cucked. The main protagonist just believes that Self-Insert-kun, who she literally just hooked up with five minutes ago, is cheating on her with another girl, and immediately hops ship to NTR man. So anyone hoping for a deep, humiliating experience where the NTR elements are a key part of the story, you will be sorely disappointed. So what about corruption fanatics? Well, the "corruption" stat in the game, Lewdness, is a joke. It literally has only one use in one (uno, un, I, singular, 1) questline where if she has 50 Lewdness, she can willingly go to the club as a bunny girl and give a patron a titjob. That's it. There is literally no other use for the stat. You can make Yui the lewdest, rudest, anal-beadingest degenerate in the city and it will have absolutely no effect in any other scene in the game. At that point, why the fuck do you even have this stat as a thing? I don't know, and I don't think the dev knew either.

So with all that said, why the flying fuck am I even giving this game even a modicum of a good score? Well... have you ever seen that "This is my hole! It was made for me!" page from the Junji Ito manga The Enigma of Amigara Fault? Well, this game is my hole, and it is perfectly shaped to fit my dick no matter how erect or flaccid it is, because Jesus Christ, the developer and I may as well have once been the same person in a previous life for how well this game hits all my erotic pressure points. If you are at all a fan of ryona, humiliation, wetwork, rape, domination, power loss, or any/all combination of the above, this game is made for you, and there are very, very few games that as stimulating and arousing as this one is. Yes, the NTR elements are disappointing, and the corruption bits might as well not exist. The plot is standard shlock, the gameplay is a poorly balanced mess, and the puzzles are fucked and all over the place, but there are almost no other pieces of erotic fiction that are as good as this dev's in the ability to display the sheer downfall of a heroine, of a human being, watching them completely and utterly break, physically and spiritually, forced to watch as everything around them, everything they tried to protect and hold dear, is taken from her or even turn away from her, possibly even ending with her death. Is it an absolutely fucked fetish? Oh, one thousand percent. Which is why this game has gotten the scores that it has, for good reason. It's a niche fetish, one that doesn't appeal to many, and the many problems with this game may be too much even for those who do fall into those niche fetishes. If I was a purely objective reviewer, this game would get a 2/5, a 3/5 at best. But I am not. I am a horribly, horribly biased bitch. Despite everything I've said about this game, for all that I've bitched and moaned about it... I'm still gonna keep playing it for the h-scenes. This hole was made for me. And maybe, just maybe... It's worth it for you to see if it was made for you too.

As a final note, a huge thanks to dazedanon for not just his incredibly fast ChatGPT translations, but also his diligence in updating and correcting any mistakes that pop up in the process; he even patched in a fast forward dialogue skip in a patch. No kudos is enough for providing such amazing quality MTLs at such a remarkable pace. You are phenomenal. Thank you.

Summary: A puzzle game first and a porn game second, peak art but lacking in follow-up scenes and overall eroticism. LONG game if you decide to solve the puzzles and find the easter eggs

Starting with a personal note, I must say that I'm a sucker for puzzles, I really enjoyed this game. For most of the playthrough, I was able to solve the puzzles without consulting the guide (Until chapter 6, probably over 4-5 hours of gameplay, when I got stuck not knowing where to find a hypnosis device)


Things that I liked:

- I found the story to be interesting enough. It is no masterpiece, certainly, but it gets the job done

- Good level design, pretty much always something to find in every room

- Hints and tricks to fight the bosses more easily (With one exception)

- Good music and voice acting

- Really good art and the scenes that exist are good. Be wary that there's quite a bit of urination

- MTL of very high quality, as dazedanon has us used to. There are minor inconsistencies but overall its an enjoyable experience

- Game over scenes are unlocked when you defeat bosses/enemies

- You have the option to skip combat by finding codes for OP items in the recollection room, however I didn't find the combat too grindy


Thing that I didn't like:

- No H stats, no virginity status and no battlefuck

- Almost no corruption, with only one event requiring a certain amount of lewdness.

- No follow up of the scenes, there's no way that, for example, the teacher has only two scenes, this coupled with the fact that there are few other than game over H scenes made the game much less erotic than it should have been

- Freaking LONG dialog during the H scenes, even with skip mode they last like a minute or two

- I encountered two bugs that caused me to lose progress


Conclusion: If the game had put a little more effort in the H content this game would be easily high 4 rating, maybe even a 5, but as it is now I give it a 3.7, I can't recommend it unless you love puzzles or are really interested in the art.

Really disappointed by this one. Game play is there, if anything RPG mechanics are a highlight of this one. But H scenes are lacking. I feel like if there were 4 to 5 scenes more per NPC character, the corruption would be a lot more satisfying. Instead it kind of just happens.

This game has some excellent foundations, but the actual hentai component is very poorly executed.

What's Good?

• The world map is excellent. There are plenty of easter eggs, puzzles, and hidden features to find.
• The art style is excellent.
• There is a decent variety of fetishes explored.

What's Bad?

• Most erotic content is locked behind defeat events with various enemies, necessitating that the player lose in order to view them.
• This game suffers from far too fast an escalation. Scenes go from no sex, straight to vaginal fucking mind-break.

How could the Developer improve this?

• The main failure of the developer is the lack of tension. You go to battle, you lose it, you get fucked. There is no slow build of corruption. There is no gradual defeat of the heroine.
• There is one point in this game were the Developer DOES do a great job. Early on you encounter a bakery where the "baker" (a demon in disguise) offers you a pastry, which you decline. This scene added tension. The developer could have added far more of these and expanded upon them.
• Lesser erotic events need more attention paid to them. Blowjobs, groping, fingering etc. could all be used to slowly escalate the tension. There is one scene with a molester on a train, but this does not escalate, and seems to sort of just dangle by itself without an integration into the wider plot.

This game is like reading the Lord of the Rings if it solely encompassed the Hobbits leaving the Shire, and then skipped immediately to the destruction of the One Ring. It doesn't matter how good those parts are, if there's no satisfying journey/building of tension along the way.

tl;dr Fun puzzle game with bad RPG mechanics and minigames that literally ruin the game. Minimal sex scenes.

The exploration system and puzzles are top tier. It's a very fun system that gets incredibly long winded at times.

If you don't explore, you will fall behind and suffer in standard combat. Enemies turn into hp sponges once you're past Chapter 2. Your damage will never keep up with how much hp enemies get.

Chapter 2 includes an absolutely awful minigame that will hard lock most players.

All of the sex scenes suffer from the game not knowing when to shut up. Less is more when it comes to erotic dialogue.

If it weren't for the minigame at the start of Chapter 2, the game would be entertaining to playthrough. Because it exists, the game has a fun Chapter 1 and then turns into cancer.

Short review: Overall 2.5/5. I really want to like this game because it has good illustrations, voice acting, and dense maps with plenty of exploration. It's like a mix between Celesphonia and Stripping Knight Nymphoria, but the final result ended up being inferior of the two. Overall, while the game is moderately enjoyable, it has questionable game designs that can be a huge turn-off.

1. Story: The story is straight-forward and basic; you're a magical girl that is fighting crime against a demon organization. Nothing too deep or notable.
2. Characters: The moment I saw that the male love interest didn't even have his own illustration, I knew that boy had no chance and immediately went for the NTR ending. Jokes aside (not really, I still went for the NTR ending cause that boy was barely dating the protagonist so screw him), all of the notable characters follow the generic archetypes: unremarkable male love interest, delinquent blond, fat teacher, and an ojou-sama. There's really no depth behind any of them, and there's no character development.
3. Gameplay: Very basic JRPG mechanics and itemization, honestly pretty boring. I fell asleep on one fight because I just had to keep spamming the same three abilities and heal occasionally to win fights. My biggest complaint is that the game doesn't explicitly tell you when an event or choice will lead to a game over. Sure, you unlock a defeat H-scene, but then you have to reload your save, start the fight and go through the dialogue without a skip function all over again, which can be very tedious. Nearly quit several times because of that.
4. Fappable: If this is your first time playing a game like this, then you could get at least one fap out of this game. Otherwise, you've most likely saw these scenes before in other games plenty of times that it doesn't really do much for you. There's surprisingly not a lot of scenes as I expected this game would have.

This game could've benefited a lot from having an intricate H-system and side quests with more H-scenes. It would also be better if the game didn't go straight to game over and instead reloaded back to your last decision, so that you don't slog through the fight and dialogues again. And this game definitely needs a "skip if already seen" function. It's got all the foundations to be a really great H-game but missed the mark on every aspect, resulting in a mediocre game.

Edit: I will note that the map designs are definitely first-class, easily one of the best for an RPGMaker in this website. The cities and towns felt alive and each corner of the map had a purpose, with most exploration being optional and plenty of hidden passages for secrets/achievements/items. Even some of the dungeon layouts were quite unique and not one-dimensional. The developer really put a lot of effort into the maps. It's just rather unfortunate that everything else was subpar.

The two stars are for the art and the fantastic translation, that's really it. I dont mind grinding for a game, one of my favorite games is Kamikazi Ouka, which is a grind, however where that did great and this fell remarkably low, is the fact that with this, you lose its a instant game over, and thats the ONLY way to get the h seens. The corruption tag needs to be removed as this isnt a corruption game, you cant corrupt her, it is however a rape game. Thats all the scenes are. If endless grinding, going through a crap ton of dialogue just to see every H scene is your thing, go for it. If you want to feel like your actually playing an h game, this isnt for you.

I'm conflicted with this one, I tend to really enjoy games of this nature but this one; it felt very... mediocre.

I enjoy the art, voice acting and the kinks, I even enjoy the map design and layout. Despite that it feels like a very meh game; I could think of a few games that do better such as the Kurenkisho Quolta series (though even there there was a quality fall off with the second game) and Magical Girl Celesphonia. I appreciate to have more games of this nature however; and I hope to see more in the future.

This game is a 2 out of 5 at best. The only positives are the voice acting and illustrations. Everything else is ass.

Standard RPG mechanics that are boring. Story is typical and boring. Character designs are boring. To get most of the H-scenes, you need to lose. Nothing will hook you in this game. This isn't even a proper NTR story! In the beginning of the game, the heroine and her childhood guy friend aren't dating.

After playing this game, I debated if it even deserves a 2 star rating but from the first chapter, I encountered zero bugs. I'll give it that at least.

Good art, illustrations, animated scenes and decent voice acting. There's also some pretty fun map exploration mechanics including secret passages and hopping on different platforms.

Lackluster H-system though, since it's only represented under "Lewdness" and a number. Map exploration is also limited since it's story-locked (no in-universe reason as to why those parts are locked, it's just "Clear more of the game to unlock").

The combat for the most part is direct, just your standard RPG battle, no mid-battle H, only defeat H. The bosses have "gimmicks" to them, which sometimes makes them hard to beat, but luckily there is a post-battle tip when you lose.

Overall, not a bad game, I quite enjoyed it, it's just that the negatives of the game are the parts that I notice when playing these types of games, so maybe not for me, but I do recommend you giving a shot as it is well developed save for the cons that I mentioned.
