Unity - Completed - Jerez's Arena Ⅲ [v1.0.24] [WorkNite Games]

Attractive premise and main characters, fucked up villain that's fitting for the plot. Quests are also interesting, akin to your typical VNs... length of the game is decent as well. Only issue is that only a few CGs are animated, but still better than most game of the same genre nowadays.

Length: Took me 8.5 hours to finish my playthrough. I then unlocked all CGs, but you can do NG+ to do other routes if you've got more time to spare than I do.

Story: Foxgirl MC gets enslaved. Narratively it's very brutal and you hear of other slaves being cruelly killed, but you don't see any of that violence yourself (the most extreme is a not-extreme whipping scene, in which the girl comes to enjoy it by the end). It can be a slow burn corruption story, or you can resist, but either way the main character is strong and very likeable.

The artstyle is inconsistent. Some CGs I thought were okay, some I loved, but on average it was better than most erotic games. However the illustrations you see most of the time - the character portraits - are super high quality. I loved Oretti with all her expressions and poses, and also seeing her bare pussy in certain angles, or tits when its ripped up during combat. It adds eroticism to moments that otherwise wouldn't have it.

A lot of the main scenes are animated (with something like Live2D). I normally really dislike this kind of animation, but I thought it was great here and added erotic value. Like in one of my favorite scenes, you can see the character's eyes and expression changing back and forth as they struggle to resist, you've got jiggling boobs, bouncing hips, fox ear fluff-tufts shaking around, and the hips zoom in to the camera during climax, as if bucking. There's just a lot of attention to detail, to the point where I'm going back just to watch some of the animated stuff here and there.

The writing was okay. Better than most, including non-translated works, but the bar is low. Translation errors were few. The erotic writing was good - it was, for the most part, worth reading. But it wouldn't be interesting to read in and of itself (save for a few scenes). As with most erotic games, the illustrations are the main dish; the writing is mostly just padding out the amount of time you're looking at the illustrations, with some golden lines interspersed here and there.

Music was okay, and the voice acting (Japanese only) was pretty good. Some of the moans or lines were great, but I often did skip it to read faster, too.

Gameplay was quite fine, I had no issues. Hold down Ctrl to increase speed - this works for the hub menus too (i.e. holding ctrl makes new areas load in faster).

Oh, I also gotta say I loved the little splash images they had for generic scenes around the city.

Overall, it's a great game. Focuses on eroticism, with slavery themes. I'll probably replay it a few years into the future, if I'm still alive then.

This was my first game in the series, and I plan to play the others. But after finishing Jerez's Arena III, I can confidently say this game has captured my heart. What initially seemed like a simple fantasy visual novel RPG quickly turned into one of the best experiences I've ever had in the genre.

The worldbuilding is excellent — a dark yet fascinating medieval setting where every choice carries weight and consequence.

Then comes the combat system, which is simple to learn but neither too challenging nor too easy. The only thing that will save you is grinding and training.

But what really makes this game special for me is the main heroine. She's everything I've always loved in a character: a red-haired fox girl with charm and strength. Her design, personality, and story made her my favorite character — the perfect balance of beauty, ferocity, and tenderness. Every moment with her made me feel connected to the world of Jerez's Arena III.

It's rare to find an eroge that offers such a complete experience — incredible combat, meaningful choices, and a captivating heroine in a well-crafted medieval world. A true gem that has become my favorite eroge.

Neat Game, Definitely different from the first 2 but nothing bad, sucks that you can change the characters clothes though, also it really feels like the replay is lacking but that could just be me speedrunning everything in the new game+. the first playthrough was just basically farming stats so your second run can achieve the better endings.

Good game, very good h-cgs in this one, though i liked only few of them, i liked the characters so i went for a true good ending and still got some nice cgs, in general graphics are good.
Gameplay okay, but i reloaded so much just to figure out stuff, combat - nice, but need at least one more skill slot, the side-story part with monsters led kinda nowhere, that was disappointing because i expected that it was the part which will lead to some secrets or even true ending but it just gave me stats and skill, and this is after being hinted by the game that eavesdroping randomly at tavern patrons will unlock some important questline, i've had a false impression that this game is more deep and convoluted than it actually is

As a player from outside, who never seen any games of this franchise before, this "rpg arena battle sim" is unprecedentedly grinding-based and hollow in terms of gameplay depth and mechanics. This is simply unacceptable for a game with such hyperfocus on battles themselves and "generous" plot instead of just funservice porn novel aspects.

Developers are being proud that there are 200k+ words in this game, and YES, Jerez Arena actually has quite a graphomaniac, overstreched and still such futile narratve.
I mean, I actually been following it for a few hours, but once I saw that main character been enslaved, and after "30 OFF-SCREEN DAYS IN SLAVERY" she is still such a cocky, daring bitch who is still asking her owners to let her go I just got complete understanding of local writer's skills. It is not worth our time definitely. This is a 200k words long anime fanfic by a 16 yo litterateur.

Finally done with this game. FAR better than Jerez I & II since it’s an open exploration game now. This plays very similar to Rance 01 except Rance 01 is better in every single aspect. Is this devs affilaited with AliceSoft btw? I mean, there’s Alice character in the Extra room just like in Rance games.

The combat feels too hardcore where enemy has bloated damage and HP. It’s way more fun when I cheated and trivialized all battles so I can focus on the ADV part, doing quests. Even with max stats, combat is still not that easy, so for fellow combat haters, I recommend using Golden Shield and Golden Coin Attack skills to minimize damage and maximize damage based on your money. Just use cheat engine to modify your money.

There’s a lot of things outside combat to improve, like actually giving “!” notification at some area when there are new events to do. They do this for some events, but not for most events for no reason at all. Voice acting is also very limited. Deliah has most of her lines voiced for some reason, when MC and Eroven are mostly silent, even during story event. Fortune Teller could get some improvement as well to give you tips on stuff that you HAVEN'T done instead of repeating stuff that I did already.

Overall, it’s an ok game. Too bad I’m not into kemonomimi, so most CGs are skippable for me.

beautiful art

really enjoyable 2d live scenes

an impressive amount of endings

story also was quite enjoyable

quick time events are relatively easy just dont get caught with your hand off the keyboard

Very good game, the CGs are beautiful, and the gameplay is solid — not groundbreaking, but definitely enjoyable and well-made. There are plenty of side quests and multiple possible outcomes, which gives the game a lot of replay value.

One thing I didn’t like is how the game doesn’t clearly tell you if you've reached the best outcome or if you missed something. Once a side quest is completed, the area becomes locked and you can’t go back, which makes it easy to feel like you’ve missed content without realizing it.

As an avid seeker and enjoyer of victim PoV games I have always found it difficult to find good games featuring the MC being a slave. Most games with slave content are either mediocre at best or when they are good its because the MC is the owner and they are more or less often princess maker style games. Jerez Arena 3, fortunately, genuinely delivers on what I was hoping for having not just the slave PoV, but also having rape and ryona content while also having the MC victim and the other victims genuinely despair at the situation they are in instead of being stupid hentai protags that fold instantly to penits.

It always annoys me when eroge and doujins tagged with rape especially have the victim just get instantly mind broken and quickly become complicit in their violation shrimply because "it feels so good". Now while this does happen somewhat at times, the only real mind break comes from magical influence which adds to the mental dissonance and suffering experienced by the MC. The break that happens does feel genuienly earned and is clearly written that it comes from fear and magical coercion so I approve.

Gameplay wise is good. The combat is fairly simply but there are enough skills to make it interesting enough. Nothing feels excessively OP in terms of the character and the game rewards your combat prowess for focusing on training and similar tasks which would empower the character. Also the more puzzle style major encounters help feel like any loss taken is earned rather than like many games where you have to purposefully go out of your way to lose which imo improves the experience.

The game is not for everyone. Ryona and rape, tend to push people away and the game has stretches of gameplay where, aside from choosing to pursue lewd routes, there is no lewding going on. Personally, partly for reasons mentioned above, this was fine to me and the lewd content that was there was pawsome!

Minor gripes I had include.
-Some fights felt overly RNG dependent where good RNG can mean an easy victory, regular RNG can mean a close win with good strategy, and bad RNG means a 2 turn death.
-While the QTEs in the prologue where easy to do one handed mouse style they ramp up and sudden fast QTEs caused me to get my keyboard messy.
-The main antagonist and slave owner Gulos has an appearance too far gone from like just ugly bastard and he just looks weirdly deformed when you see his face which was a turn off. Like I can enjoy a good ugly bastard but Gulos sadly just looks weird.

Overall the game is rather pawsome! I would say its almost perfect closer to 5/5 then 4/5, so its like a 4.8/5 or sumthing. I did enjoy it enough that after doing the prologue and first chapter or week W/E I went and bought the game officially on steam. So if you are like me and greatly enjoy rape and ryona and have been wanting a slave victim game that fully delivers on being subjected to the whims and wishes of a master is well worth da download.

As the third part in the Jerez's Arena series, it improved on all aspects of the previous works, creating a larger game with more long-lasting choices. I already liked the first two works, but this one definitely takes the cake in art, story and gameplay.

The only thing to criticise would be the dev forcing us to play the game multiple times, as the ending of the first playthrough is pretty much set in stone, due to the lack of stats, which you can only compensate through NG+. Trying to get the good ending first try is not necessarily impossible, but it's just not worth trying for.

However that's a minor nitpick, overall I still highly recommend the game.

Great game with a large variety of endings to get. Great graphics, great gameplay and lots of different sex scenes available throughout the story. Insane replayability, there are so many different choices that impact the story and what scenes you unlock.

By far the best game of the franchise. It took everything good from previous two, and fixed most of the bad things. Enjoyed it a lot!

Really good flow of the game. There is something to be done, choices to be made and calculated every turn, which makes the whole cycle not repetitive.

Some really hot scenes as well!
However, like previous parts, they are still a bit lacking in numbers of H-scenes. Quality varies a bit as well. From art itself, to some being animated and some not.

There are battle H scenes, map H scenes, random event H-scenes, which I forgot to mention, and which are really well done as well, and spaced properly.
So while they "lack" in numbers of traditional, high quality CGs, they still make up with side ones.

Combat and stat min/maxing were improved A LOT to not feel like chore anymore. It's simple enough, yet you can still somewhat mix it for max gain.

5/5 from me.

Enjoyed time with our Fox Girl A LOT, and will frankly miss her and the company. (No, not you Galos, you fat fuck)

I'm NTR enjoyer. I love sexual drama, blackmailing and etc. in these games and stories. NTR/Grape are only tags I follow.

However, all of the great games have one thing in common for me, Vanilla/Good ending, or simply avoiding anything bad is always much more satisfying than hot NTR/Grape scenes. This game achieved that. You bond with characters and want them to succeed.

I took some Ls, that is how to game flows, especially for the first time, however, they masterfully crafted it to feel like "not a big deal", like it's simply part of the world, but making you work hard for those L's to not happen. Also, not every H scene were Grape or unpleasant, some simply fell natural (MASERU YOU GOAT).

Again, absolute 5/5. Best work from them by far. They earned my purchase on steam.

I wish I could give this game a higher rating, but f95 should be about H-games, and as an H-game this is pretty average. There's just too much pointless scenes and dialogue and grind and so little h-scenes or h-gameplay

Art 5/5
Combat Gameplay 4/5
H-gameplay 1/5
Story 4/5

Jerez's Arena Ⅲ [v1.0.15]

I don't know if the developers of the saga have changed, but you definitely notice a change, the game is still very good, but I feel it's a bit worse than the previous games.

At some points the story becomes extremely tedious, lots of text and little gameplay, it almost seems more like a visual novel.

It has little things that come to annoy a little, like the moments of fast action, in which many times you are not warned, you get caught unexpectedly, and you lose, the first boss is quite complicated, there are enemies or missions that you do and you do not know if the enemies surpass you or not in level and you can not know ...

On the other hand, in the H section, it is practically perfect, except that sometimes the graphics differ quite a lot from one scene to another, everything else well.

Overall it is a very good game, although in the end I ended up skipping everything because it was too much text and I could not enjoy it completely.

I give this game an 8.1 out of 10.

version 1.0.13

honestly i didn't expect this game to be so good. it has decent story and good characters. initially some animations are quite "meh". it's alright but nothing special, but then some other animations are pretty nice. the art is phenomenal as you can see from preview.

basically after a short intro you have to live as a slave. even when you get stronger you will be keep reminded your place that a slave's life is harsh and you are at the bottom of the food chain.

sex scenes are very nice. lots of rape but not overly cruel which is perfect. she likes a decent amount of it either by the end or from the get go. which is arousing. she is still a kind innocent fox with a personality and ambitions so that's a plus as well, i dont like lifeless heroines, because then sex scenes feel empty/emotionless, but here there is always a stake. you kinda root for her but you kind still want her to get fucked.

im only halfway but i still encountered a couple of bugs, some of them gamebreaking, like if try to save during the dialogue of going into the arena to fight monsters, that save bugs out, and sometimes it even bugs out other saves. so pay attention to that.

there are 5 autosave files so you don't lose THAT much progress but it's still annoying.


but there are max 10 slave slots. autosaves will take 5, then game end defeats take at least 1 (probably more idk) so in the end you will only have 4 manual saves... which is complete garbage game design decision. but whatever.

there are some lack of polish issues like even if you never went to brothel, in multiple places multiple characters still refer to you as a frequent brothel performer... and it's not like days magically pass because every day is counted numerically... but whatever, small things but many other things are very good. you have branching stories i think (i didn't walk some paths) maybe those just end in autodefeat, idk.

idk why but battlefuck scenes are again arousing even though at first i thought they are nothing special but maybe the QTE struggles give it flavour and the very good art and that's why it feels good.

i thought it's gonna just be arena fights but this game is so much more. it's like a life of a slave, very immersive.

Probably one of the best Visual Novel esque RPGs I've played in a hot minute. Combat is fun and dynamic and it the UI is extremely clean, while staying true to typical JRPGs.

The overarching story is a bit cookie cutter where you are bought by some slave owner but the side characters you interact with start to develop over the story alongside you and it helps build a progressing world while you try to fight for your own freedom.

I will also say there are a ton of small artistic details in terms of the clothing which I thought were pretty interesting, and the art is all very high quality, except for the males which are fairly poorly drawn. Overall, experience is really well put together and I think it's a huge upgrade over the last game.

You know what, I've spent a good 10 hours at least going inside secret and not so much locations, picking different routes, seeing endings, and it flew like seconds. Art style is great, animations are smooth, ost is fitting, fighting system is god damn interesting in terms of mechanics for once (some skills are too op though). Dialogues and story-lines are so well written and cute, like going from someones love affairs that led to infiltrations, to a random man who wanted to fight from boredom. And the best ending requirements... mind blown.
Great story, great characters, great game!!

And yes, H-scenes are мery well drawn too...

To be honest, the game is a solid three-star experience, but I’m giving it a 4 just because the developers clearly put a lot of effort into polishing it. For once, a porn game actually feels like a complete product, and that deserves some credit.

So, the premise:
The main character — a fox girl — gets captured right at the start, and the game immediately throws a rape scene at you. There's no way around it; the virgin route simply isn’t an option. Around 80% of the gameplay is a visual novel, with some very light open-world elements (and I do mean light).

As for the sexual content:
All the scenes are based on either the protagonist losing to someone, failing a timed objective, or choosing to go into prostitution. There’s not much variety, and the outcome is usually predictable.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Story: Not engaging, feels old and generic. Nothing here stands out or keeps you interested.
• Characters: A bit more fleshed out than in most similar games, but still pretty standard anime types. Personally didn’t care for them, but someone else might.
• Sex scenes: Bland in terms of story and setup, but the visual execution is top-notch. Animation, effects, artwork — all of it is excellent. Easily a 10/5 on the visual side.
• Polish: This is where the game really shines. Everything works smoothly, looks great, and feels finished. Honestly, I can’t think of many similar games that are this technically well-made.

Final thoughts:
It’s a decent project for an evening. Just don’t expect anything beyond the usual. It’s a typical hentai visual novel with a bit of gameplay sprinkled in — nothing more, nothing less.
