QSP - Abandoned - Jack-o-Nine-Tails [v2.2.3] [Old Huntsman + Community development]

The most intricate and deep trainer ever made.

The Aural stats part alone is more than 95% trainers have, a masterpiece.

Sure, it's finnicky and until you understand the mechanics and what causes what you will fail - but the payoff is big. This is the Dark Souls of trainer games.

I've played this too much to claim it's a bad game, but this version has the same issues as all the others. Short version, play it on custom game -> easy. Cheat as needed. It's fun then. Be sure to be mean -- this isn't a relationship game.
- Have some fun turning someone into a Hu-cow. Naw, bitch, you're goin' in the stall. Daddy needs to sell some milk.
- Patrol the fogs. Hi, Lady! I saw you were about to be raped by a bog fiend. Good news! I killed the fiend. Bad news! The rape is still on.
- Abuse your slaves: You takin' the D or are you getting into the coffin of stinging insects?
- Be evil. That parasite in your guts? It's gonna bust outta there like that scene from Aliens. I can have it removed for the cost of lunch, but you know, I just don't feel like it. I guess you got three days to change my mind. Who's a good slave? Who's a good slave?



Random complaints:
Combat: There is exactly *ONE* method to beat the harder enemies in the fog. You have to have the flamberge. You have to have Battle Cry. You have to have Roundhouse Kick. If you picked other special skills, you lose. Start your game over.
I should mention this wasn't intentional. Combat was added after the fact and never really got the polish it needed. I'm disturbed this many years have passed and nobody's tackled this. When brought up in the Jack forums forever ago, the dev response was "learn to code and fix it yourself," and that's part of how the cheats in Easy Mode came to be. Now, apparently, it's integrated with the game instead of being an actual 3rd party mod. That's a disappointing solution.

Slave Training: On easy, it's pretty straight forward. I usually ask the slave to clean the house and if she doesn't, she gets beaten down until she does. Gotta get that fear stat up. (Once in a while they just won't comply and they get taken to the butcher for meat.) Then, it's about spending days to slowly build up habit and taming. It takes a while, but the fear goes away and you get a workable slave.
On normal mode or higher, things are far, far worse. If you punish them, the slave will run away, commit suicide, or mind break. If you reward them, they gain 'spoil' and refuse to comply. There are very specific, exacting steps to take to get a slave to work. It's a puzzle game at that level, not a slaver emulator.

Arena: This isn't too bad, but requires memorization or the wiki to compete. I recommend dual wield. Since nothing is explained, you can click the crossed swords image for one special attack per arena fight. It does good damage.

Racing: I never got this, even on easy mode, even with the wiki, even after hundreds of tries. Not worth the effort. Cheat -> Easy Race.

Lord Spectre: I admit this is the last thing you'll do in the game. It's, like, the final quest. I guess it's supposed to be hard. However, you'll need to read the game's source code to complete it. No, not the walkthrough. Even in the F95 forum, you'll find a swarm of people unable to get Spectre to fuck off. The quest is that damned picky and the slightest error means Spectre's goons raid your house and kill you. If you ever need a lesson on what NOT to do in a game, see this quest. This should be a slide in the Game Design Powerpoint presentation of how to piss off everybody. You have been warned. Leave Spectre alone.

Edit: Read the dev responses. Play the game. Judge for yourself. All is well or there might be a few flaws? https://f95zone.to/threads/jack-o-nine-tails-v2-2-3-old-huntsman-community-development.390/post-12903517

I'm gonna go againts a lot of reviewers here. The game is not hard. The ambuguity and incomplete information and some knick knack result in reverse difficulty curve.The tutorial do give (I hope to most people) some alaready common sense tips related to various stats and parametes. That's just it. even the supposedly practical tutorial doesn't give you much direction, no holding hand of what you should do step by step. That is why a lot of people percieve it as difficult.

I started with hardest(That is the mistake) preset difficulty because I like rag to rich play (you can go harder with custom start) So I fumble a lot due to despiste understand basic corelation between various stats, mechanics. Slave break the rule ? punish them accordingly to level of guilt and vice versa for being a good girl. The first trap is for my start, punishing isn't a good idea since it make my slave mood goes down and later can result into despair which lead to attempt on my life or just breaskaway during the night.
I scratched my head ,huh? I can't punish her and I can't make her do as I command so that I can reward her because she isn't obedience yet, but in order for her to be obedience I have to punish her for refusing and the death spiral begin again. kinda like chicken or egg paradox.
-
That is until I figured out the normal progession of letting her get used and accommodated to her situation. instead of immediately trying to set a lot of rules on day 1, just set somerule that she gonna comply with anyway so she doesn't break any, then you don't have to punish her. over time she will start to be a bit malleable, like willin to do a bit of tidying chore. now you have way to reward her and make her happy for her situation. as she get more used to her new fate more and more she start to become more obedience. and as you leveling your own character the next slave you train would be easier to tame and control, you can even do what I said I did wrong on day 1 : start imposing strict rules so you can punish her. but this time you got mean to defend yourself ,prevent her from escaping or suicide.after you punish themenough to instill fear into them causing them to be obedience out of fear, you can start traning them and reward them for good traning. kind of a kiss after a kick. totransition from fear-obedience to love-obedience.
-
the con is the colered and hard to read font. the colored is quite understandable since it give you easy visual clue of difference level of stats , but it overused in a lot of place that didn't need to.

if anyone struggle to learn this game I highly recommend this playthrough guide. guide .
A lot of guides and tips outside of those in wiki are in the forum but they never been pin to the post even the one from the dev themselves(srsy dev please start pinning those good guide on the post ).

This game is HARD hard. Like legit it like you are literally playing 5 games at the same time. But the gameplay loop is addictive so after many failed attempts you then learnt how to play and suddenly this game is nothing short of a 5 stars.

The management is multi-layered, complex. The arts collection is also varied and high quality. What this game does right now it does perfectly.

The only complaint I can think of is how dependent you are of a house because the starting place does not have any uses whatsoever. This severely limits the role-playing capacity (like how the runaway werewolf character still have the need to find a big house in the middle of a city somehow). And maybe the limited end-game content, though this game is so replayable don't think this matters at all.

Also a WARNING: the graphic content is... pretty graphic, especially the "food" arts. Hope the devs pick tamer or maybe add some censored images option in the future.

A game as notorious as it is old. If you'd ever thought about H management games, this would easily be in the conversation.

Pros
- Complexity
- No story, plot or contrivances.

Cons
- Complexity
- No story, plot, or contrivances.

This game is not kidding around. If you've had the unfortunate experience of playing this game without a wiki, you'll easily find it one of the hardest learning curve game that have ever existed, never mind H games. Chances are good you'll have restarted the game over 5 times within the first hour, head firmly in palm as you question what the fuck you're doing with your life.

And yet, once you've gotten the hang of how the game works, it all mysteriously click. Suddenly you'll be scouring the most repulsive, bull-headed slave for kicks. You'll feel like a real slave master, and every and any bitch on earth is merely another challenge.

So, do I recommend people try this game? Hell yes. But mostly because its an experience like no other, with complexities that'll make calculus look like elementary math by comparison...and also because its free. If you're a H game connoisseur, you owe it to yourself to play or at least try it.

But I'd caveat this recommendation.

This is not a game for those who are looking for meaningful relationships, or imagining training the perfect slave/companion. The game allows only for one slave at a time, so I think you know what that means...no matter how much love you may have for that perfect girl, eventually you'll realise, much to your horror, that this game is about training and selling slaves. Yes, there's very little your charming, well trained, princesses can do in this game except to be sold. At best you can put her into stasis, but there's no escaping it, money only comes from selling slaves. There's no favorites in Jo9, its all business at the end.

For a less cold slave training simulator, I'd recommend brothel king, strive for power, monster bifrost, games that are made with a more pleasant goal in mind. Im not kidding about having a heart of stone. you can legit raise tons of cash simply buying cheap slaves, break the living shit out them, and then selling what's left of them to the closest degenerate in the game. Its as close to North Korea style slave labour as it gets.

I know, I know this game is a masterpiece during the porn game history, it is an ero Shakespeare's work. But I can't just start playing it. Because the text& font is fucking my eyes every second! Yes, the font is just like that. I am not a native English user so I really need to read every info that the game presented. Then my brain starts to ache. For this fact, I give 5 stars for its fame and 0 star for my poor eyes.

This is not the first but might be the most famous and successful slave training stimulation game. The game mode designing has been learned and reused by many other latecomers.
Amazing that so many contributors are still working on it for new contents.

My favorite Hentai Game. Maybe one day it will be animated in 3D VR. It was easy to pick up.
Just lower difficulty so you can enjoy playing while learning without knowing much! I used the training debug menu to get started and restarted a game only once (Only played normal difficulty) Chart your own path!

best management game i've ever played. my first playtrough with fenris was so much fun. i threw up when i found out that my mc eat human flesh or when i took my slave to the "butchery" lol.

also please let me change jhonny pfp with fenris pfp lol

This HAS to be the best and most developed sandbox H game out there. Free Cities tries to come a little close - but the lack of images for me is a little too hard to enjoy. I've been playing this for a few days now - and it does have an initial learning curve, but it is a fun learning curve and thats the most important thing in a sandbox/management type game. There is so much I don't know yet - and thats what fuels my need to play the game.

In an ideal sandbox/management/trainer game - you'd want a good template for the player to play around with - to mold and shape them to their will - which I think they have here. But at the same time, have some preexisting NPCs that you can obtain - maybe after finishing their story or enslaving them or exploiting them in their story itself. This REALLY brings the fun and control of the player in this universe.
I only know of 1 for now, its when you get a house and visit the slums for the first time - you get your first assistant. But I'm hoping there would be more.

They have a really good tutorial in the menu screen - although I would stick with easy mode for a beginner for both tutorial and normal/custom games. After finishing the tutorial, you can have a normal or a custom start - and this is where the game is at its hardest in making you try to quit it. The game is a little too open ended in my opinion in the beginning, and navigating the different locations can become too much information. But this sort of thing is to be expected, and in fact I'd appreciate this more, rather than having a small sandbox to play with at all. Game should have a little handholding in the beginning is all.

The images classification according to action-hair-age-skincolor-etc is genius, and would always be appreciated to have even more images added. I'd imagine developers must have overhauled a lot of images from the several booru sites with their relatively well categorized 'tags'.
Sometimes you get a character from an established series which ruins the illusion a little, but this is still always welcome.

I've seen so many new 'sandbox' games that just have preexisting well fleshed out NPCs, that you can just fuck around with repeatable events and just call it 'sandbox' - but that has no meaningful 'change' in their character. It really brings down and dilutes the essence of a sandbox eroge game. It really is a shame that such great games like this one, is essentially hidden on F95zone by the constant updating 'new' games.

Just looking at the description and seeing that this game is still being developed by the Community since 2014 is just plain amazing. And props to the several current/past developers that are still working on this.
Games like this really inspire players like myself to finish the game, and then maybe contribute some content in the future - just because how well developed this game already is and you REALLY want to make it even better.

this is.. one of the best games i ever played. There is some grind to it, but the game is amazing in itself. The game does not care about being proper and is as questionable as it gets and i love it. I love how we get to have such a gem like this, while living in a world full of feminists and other.. groups.

combat is meh, but thats fine. Why? because im not here for combat

also, slightly dead game, aka very little patches, but its a game thats already finished one could say

This is a classic slave trainer game with managing a living. Slaves are cast into a dark theme world. You play as a Master/Slaver who in general wants to be respected in society that is Eternal Rome. Training slaves through ranks to their selling requirements to gain reputation with factions or buyers. The end goal to be an elite individual.

In my opinion, the best game experience is to play this in <easy mode> because <obedience> is best gain in days than weeks for <normal or hardcore mode>. Guild contracts are timed. Plus the grinding becomes less stressful.

Pros: Immersive roleplay x Training
Mixed: artwork not original but fits and the extreme content -yikes-
Cons: Needs more development /content than tweaks

4/5 A game I've enjoyed would come back play again.

Pretty complex and long game, it keeps improving and I'm sure it has a lot more of potential. It let's you explore some dark stuff that other games don't offer. Despite playing it for years I some times feel like a fucking noob playing it and I see it as a plus.

Great game, it has great potential and already good content.
The game is quite dificult at first and depending on how you like to play, it may take quite some time to get used to it and not fail.
I personally like to be challenged and bc of that i got pretty stressed when i didn't understood the game mechanics and tried playing in the hardest dificulty.
My advice is to play the VERY EASY mode quite a while and then, when you don't feel completely lost, explore the game a bit more.

There is a bug. Aura can't be seen even if you use auraex spell.
Nothing pops up. Dev please fix this bug please
overall I like the game. It is grindy and hard but once you know how to do it is fun game. But it is nothing like other games in F95.

- Very Difficult to play game. And also not rewarding at all. The instructions are too vague and so are the mechanics. Unnecessary complexity makes it almost impossible to play.
- It is also very stress inducing , because of constant clicking required for progress and god damned UI. Also , the small things that are required to optimize the training is frustrating , which is not optional because of the difficulty level.
-For example , if you play as m'lord. You have to buy wizard robes, then cast spells and then switch back to noble clothes and that you have to do , every day for first five days , otherwise you never get any magic. many such small stupid things . ( dev should have easily made these things just as constume checks , but they intentionally went for fuck player route )

I'm not surprised there's some bad reviews for this game, because it's quite challenging. I've been playing this game for a while, and I still have trouble when I try to play a new version after a while.

With that said, I think it's still a very enjoyable slave trainer once you understand how the mechanics work.

However, I'm giving this game 4 stars because I think the game lacks diverse content and events. It gets pretty repetitive after a while.

Most of the updates seem to be oriented towards gameplay tweaks instead of adding new content or events. I first played this game 3 or 4 years ago, and I don't feel like much has changed except for the gameplay being more challenging.

The take-home is that this is a pretty standard slave trainer, just more fucked up. Unless it is completely overhauled I just don't see this game being worth the time. If you love slave management games, but have always wanted to be able to murder girls in weird ways, than maybe this game is for you.

My biggest issue is that it isn't flushed out.

The combat for instance is awful even with maxed stats, and armor on(easy) mode I couldn't beat a single enemy after 10 attempts.

You can only have an assistant, and one slave. You can increase this(sort of), but not in a straightforward way.

The only real way to make money is by selling slaves, passive income isn't(really) a thing

A long long time ago some guy made a plotless "brothel simulator" where you aimlessly buy slavegirls and train them into whores. Back then it seemed somewhat novel and the scene for english H-games was practically nonexistent. So it gained some traction.

This is a mod of a mod of that game.
There is no plot.
Gameplay is grindy.
Gameplay is overly complex for no reason.
Gameplay is bad.
Art is random stolen pictures.

It's definitely one of a kind, with more hardcore options in place. The potential, alongside devs' creativeness, is huge, that's why I give it 5 stars. Now, it has lots of flaws, like "invisible" slave customization, and repetitiveness (lack of events).
