Overall review: Game is good, if a bit grindy, and lacking some quality of life features like skippable prostitution scenes (defeat scenes are skippable). Story is very good, but the endings are Neon Genesis Evangelion tier. HCGs are very good if you're into that kind of thing, but the general eroticism of the game is somewhat low. Corruption is very slow and has minor impacts on scene variations rather than what Diana is willing to do. Battlefuck scenes are pretty limited, mostly repetitive, and very hard to trigger since most fights are over quite quickly or skipped entirely once you outlevel the enemies.
EDIT: Okay, so I was making fun of the game when I said the endings are NGE tier, but I got the good end on Route 1 and I think that maybe this is literally Omedetou.
The translation is a little awkward, and i was talking to some guys in dazed's discord and they said that a TL using gemini should be way better than this
they said you could check these things to make it better
Glossary, Prompt, Rolling Context, Small Requests
they also recommended using lingua gacha
they said you can plug in the .xlsx (from .csv or Excel) or .trans (custom .json from SLR / T++) and you can just start after writing into the glossary, writing the prompt and doing the basic settings.
It's just a recommendation if you'd like to check your TL when you update it to the latest game ver
Ah saw that, wasn't sure if the crash fix on the stores DL site was the patch he was waiting for. No worries making it work with a translation tool. Just won't be a nice as his I assume as it's using Bing translate.
Thanks though. Will probably give it a try for a bit then wait for any real translations.
Game has a solid opening with 3 pretty distinct paths. But then really starts to fall apart towards the end. A lot of the side you'd expect to advance down a corruption path just flat out repeats as though it's the first time you've done it. And the side characters seem to lose all relation to the story after they join the mercenary pool (unless I'm missing something?). Also just the CGs and even the combat rape for some of the later enemies really kinda sucks (You're telling me the Roided out Black Knights' power-move during combat is to just squeeze the character's tits? Really?)
Also wtf was that ending? It just happened out of nowhere! Is that a bug or is that actually the end of the game?
They really made lvling up the Sex stats as annoying as possible. You need to view individual unique SCENES (pixel spirte counts) to gain sex exp. The rewards are extremely mediocre (except the last 2 rewards probably). What's more annoying is having to lose to enemies which send you back to the start of the dungeon (some of the enemies give exp, some don't). Why does bad end not give exp (I know bad end technically did not "happen").

It seems like there will be more patches to come, so I am going to hold off for a few days before pushing this to Games, if the mods don't mind.[/Spoiler]
Thanks you for explaining what go wrong with the route 1, i didn't get that we have to speak with the girl in the hospital. Without this, the cardinal was really, really strong so i didn't understand the gap in difficulty here. Also the lighthouse quest is bugged to me, i can do it multiple time and i don't get the "intermediate" quest the game say they will give me. I even update to the 1.04 version of the game (i was using the 1.00 prior to that) and the bug is still here, even if i did redo the game with a save where i didn't even try this quest.
Maybe the quest is made to be doable in an infinite number of time but i doubt it, especially because i've not acces to these intermediate quest.

It is essentially like radiant Quests in Skyrim/Bethesda Games. Repeatable Quests that give some reward. There are 3 tier of guild quests unlocked as you progress throughout the game.

Slave sword 1 & 2 are both lackluster when it comes to H-scene and corruption along with a bit of grindy gameplay, and based on all of the comments I read, I guess this issue plague this game as well.
The downside that they made with insta kill mobs with collision is that it massively reduces EXP gain/ gold gain (sometimes even getting 0 gold, or 100-300 gold when you can get 2.5k or 3k when fighting normally). Plus you get no mob drops that you can sell for money.
hold on so for example pan doesn't appear in route 1 at all!?!?!?!? nor in route 3!?
i assume route 2 is slave route
she ONLY appears there!? wtf
seriously!?!?
or did i get that wrong
and from left to right:
ellis, tania, tia, lysithea, rhea, ariel, pan

Yes. But some of them have specific dialogue/ lose scenes in sidequests in other routes. For example in the slave route Tia have a dialogue in a side quest there and if you lose with Tia on team then it gives unique CG.
Oh also, I've replayed Slave's sword 1 and it appears there is no virginity mechanic there (previous reply to you about the game ending in virgin ending). It must've been recent to this developer to implement it (I'm pretty sure the Hero was never found again has a virginity mechanic, and the Koyori one has one too probably). But SS2 has a mechanic that changes the ending depending on the "corruption"/lewd level.
There is a sex tracker, some shy dialogues when starting prostitution but the game never elaborates when the MC lost her virginity (probably the artist did not want to draw separate scenes with minor blood details/ the dev don't care about that mechanic back in the day).
