RPGM - Completed - Kiara - The Knight of Icicles [v1.05b] [war shop]

Call me surprise, at first I thought this was gonna be an average at best game but the second half of the scenes improve a lot

Story wise and gameplay is very simple and straight forward with a fun twist at the end

Now sex scenes wise, it does start with a rather poor state but then there is significan improve on the art for Kiara and Lalana which is accompanied by very sexies scenes

Highly recommend it for a good fap time

The art is good and there's some animation.

The gameplay leaves a fair bit to desire, though. You start at max level, so trash mobs are only worth fighting if you want adult scenes with them. It also means that you're way too strong, so I'm not sure why the devs gave the player a heal.

There's also no way to check your hot score, which dictates which adult scenes you qualify for and which you don't. As weird as it sounds, you basically have to grind the adult content to get your hot score high enough for some content, like working at the brothel.

Overall, it's a decent game, but it feels like they made enough adult content for twice as much game and then just didn't bother making the rest of the game.

Amazing corruption game !
The game is quite short but full of good things, amazing CG, R scenes are good and the story is actually kind of okay.
It remind me Nightmare Knight but less advenced in corruption mecanics.
I really recommend it if you like R and corruption !

War Shop games have some of the best scenes utilising the live2D animation. Th girls always look hot af and this one is no different. This one is pretty linear so the scenes are easy to collect. The story is good and I love the kuudere FMC and the corruption and enslaved scenes in this game.

In short - art is really good, game fucking sucks.

And... that's pretty much all there is to say. Plot twists are kinda fine, i personally enjoy plots, and this one wasn't THAT bad.

All the h-events are placed like garbage: all around, in no order, and you go pick them up on your own will. There's also an unavoidable(?) rape section in the game, like 30 minutes of unavoidable loss to a stupid villain trap, and rape that follows. Why would you make checkpoint guy scenes after the first one avoidable, then, if you're already putting unavoidable stuff? It makes no sense for a guard to forcibly check us, but only if we go up to him and agree.

Maps also suck, like really much. You can take the blonde adventurer guy with you on missions, to walk together through maps, if you go all the way through his scenes at tavern, but he has NO use - maps barely have enemies, and Kiara just wipes them all out easily anyway. There are battlefuck scenes and defeat scenes... however, unless you're intentionally playing like she's braindead, you won't see any of them.

Just play it if you want scenes to fap to. The way this game is structured makes my organs cringe inside, though. At least it's pretty short and to the point, except the jail section, and Kiara's generally submissive personality makes it all a bit more tolerable to play.

This is about as boiler plate as you can get. Goblins, brothels, slums, bathhouses, defeat scenes, you’ve seen it all before. That being said, the game has decent art and it doesn’t waste your time. Scene progression occurs at a snappy pace, and the protagonist starts off at level 99, eliminating any need for combat grinding. Hope you like missionary and mating press poses, ‘cause that’s what the main glut of the h-content is. Also, while the game does have anal, none of those scenes involve the protagonist. Felt like pointing that out in case people were coming in expecting something more fixated on that kind of subject material.

For a couple of bucks, you could sure do worse in this genre. You'll probably forget it ever existed after a nut or two.

8 / 10 for stylish art
5 / 10 story
0 / 10 for man's ass and balls, too many balls, too few cunts
Too short, it takes around 40 min to finish
It's a fine game for one night. It really does kill the mood by this insane amount of dicks and mens asses with balls, it seems a little bit gay, ngl

1.05b

halfway through i was about to give it 5/5. not cuz it's perfect but it was good enough and some parts of it was unique. especially the point she is jailed in the main story and gets relentlessly fucked day after day. that was hot. and i think there is no way to avoid this. so say bye to your dreams of having a virgin run lol.

but by the end i was about to give it 3/5. because after that point it just goes downhill. the sex gets more boring and mindless (she started out as an icecold person who is a closet pervert, but not "OVERLY" pervert). and the story plot twists only make sense if you have the memory of a fish.

so until halfway -> story+sex 5/5

after that -> story 1/5, sex 2/5.

all in all 3,5/5 but i rounded up cuz it's still better than most games i think even though it's quite generic in most aspects as a typical RPGM game.

there is a lot of corruption events, you cannot lose in fights but most fights have a failure event (you will be notified with a message if a fight doesn't have it) there is some battlefuck elements but of low consequence. you can get molested or fucked but if your arousal reaches 100 you will climax, miss 1 turn. that's it, nothing else happens, fight continues, no corruption stat gained. and since you cannot lose, most enemies are 1shot, you have to do these things willingly. that is a bit of a bummer. but most sex scenes are story-driven or event-hunting. so there are enough.

anyway: there are a shitton of things which could have been improved, but imo it's good enough because it doesn't waste your time THAT MUCH. only a little. so it's good enough to play if you are bored, i think you will find something that you like (for me it was shop events, jail story event, first couple of bar scenes and early on the battlefuck was interesting).

-> so 4/5

Comments
I mean this “war shop” one of older games. I like this artist style a lot. It’s juicy and hot, but as far as “game” it’s pretty weak. As far as “characters” is empty and bland kinda like the elf game I played before, even less character in, seems with elf game developer did grow a bit. Story itself felt like it had quite some ideas, but somewhat fell apart as the whole political fiasco just at some point started to go over my head and started to feel kinda “off” at certain point. But as far as “scene hunter” type of ADULT game, it’s still pretty solid. So for little fun and enjoyment it does the job. If it wouldn’t be an adult game I would have for sure dropped it and rated much lower.
Wouldn’t call it a corruption game either to be honest. If anything, main character is just a closeted slut. For a “strongest warrior in the kingdom” she was such a pushover for the first tier of scenes. And the whole premise of “oh, you are in foreign country and a woman, so you might not be used how you might get treated here, but try to not create conflict there” or what ever BS she was told does not hold the excuse here. She was simply meek hoe who after few initial scenes was pretty much “you know what, this feels good, I’ll just go with it”.
Anyhow, it was overall still an “okay” adult game. The war shops nice juicy art and fun scenes carried this game a lot for me. And considering the next game was better and the developer newest game which I yet to play is considered even better, I’ve got my hopes up. Cuz I do love this art.
Total Score: 5/10
Game status:
✅ Finished

Play as the powerful Lvl 99 Knight Kiara that needs multiple strikes to kill a simple goblin, has the willpower of a drunk hamster and the intellect of a wet paper towel. Watch sex scenes so boring, that you'll be thankful for the ability to skip through them. Only good part is I didn't pay for this waste of time.

This game is really good, overall a good corruption game.

Very simple combat, like you can beat every single enemy if thats what you want, or just defend and watch the sex combat that i think it is nice!

Story wise is not complex but has its moments, it is entertaining.

The art is awesome, it may be a subjetive point but i really like it.

The protragonist is like very dumb fot the sake of the fast corruption story but in my opinion it is enjoyable and has a justification like in the lore i guess.

The only thing i would like the developer add is more content althought it has many scenes

So this is gonna be a long review because the story rant at the end. Spoilers obviously and I would have given this game a 3/5 but because I personally enjoyed the porn, its 4/5.

Pros:

• Artwork is great
• The porn animation is great. It doesn’t slow down the computer too much, so it allows for nice variations
• Game is very simple to go from point A to point B story wise. You don’t really need the journal.
• Not censored artwork.
• Great translation
• No NTR

Cons:

• Game is ridiculously easy. You start at LV 99 and you’ll never lose an actual fight.
• You fight the same boss three times (including the final battle) and nothing actually changes between the fights. She’s an absolute pushover and it makes the ending stupid.
• The lewd meter is useless. You’ll kill everything in 1-2 hits before the enemies even get a chance to do lewd attacks. It doesn’t hinder her at all and even if you reach orgasm, you only lose one turn.
• Items are pointless in this game and it’s so obvious with how the item shop is. You can have HP and SP items but you will never need to use them because you’re overpowered. The love potion and the anti-love potion are meant to reduce the lewd meter, but it's not the permanent lewd stat. If these potions actually manipulated that stat without having to go through all the optional h scenes, they would have use, but all it does is make you vulnerable to one h attack that only has you lose one turn. If it was like other hentai games where orgasming in battle results in stat reduction and losing HP, then it would make the game harder.
• Impossible to do a virgin run because of ch 3 and the forced rape scenes. People play h-games for the porn, but I feel like the game should have tied the lewd meter to this scene. It’s odd how the lewd meter only goes up during optional h-scenes and not during battle or during the forced scene. Because of this, you can’t access the brothel scenes.
• In order to add a party member, you need to go through most of the working at the bar scenes. By the time you get him, you’re at the end of the game and the second to last area of the game won’t allow him to go. The game won’t let you bring him to the last two boss fights either. I feel like this is just a wasted opportunity. All it does is allow you to choose the hentai attacks instead of having the AI do it.
• It might have been me, but I couldn’t get half of the last events of the porn scenes. I think the requirement is max lewd stat (58). Either way, that’s like 3 scenes without going to the brothel.
• Going to the brothel is a waste of time and no in-universe reason for Keira to go. With every other scenario, it started out as “innocent” and often escalated into the more extreme scenes. Here, she’s just curious and it doesn’t contribute much to the lore except to keep the whole “every hentai RPG needs a brothel area scene”.
• The random NPCs that walk around the city at night are a wasted potential. They only increase the lewd meter by ten, but only one of them gives you the option to push him away. I feel like there should have been a progression with these scenes instead of repeated ones and done with repeated dialogue. There’s no difference from the slums scene and the random NPCs.
• The gallery room is bugged. If you go for the prison scenes, the game will play through the whole chapter again instead of just watching that one scene forcing you to quit the game.
• The story falls apart after chapter 3 which knocks my score down by a lot. SPOILERS
• Spoiler: STORY SPOILERS

The scenes are nice enough, main character is OP, not much grind, story is mediocre but that's a porn game...
My issue is that I kinda expected a corruption game. I'm not sure I can call what happens here corruption. The MC might as well be a slut from the start, she just doesn't know it yet. She just let random people take advantage of her for no reason. Like "I'm the strongest knight but can't resist and immediately moan when a man touch me a bit ~~". The only thing that changes throughout the story is how honest she is about it.

Overall, I would rate this game as average. While it's not the worst game I've played, it also doesn't stand out in any particular way.

On the plus side:
- the game's CG is well done
- the corruption aspect progresses at a decent pace.
- Additionally, some of the events in the game are interesting and appropriately kinky.

Minuses:
- However, the story feels disjointed and poorly connected
- The fighting and grinding elements are also pointless and could have been removed without affecting the overall gameplay
- No animations

Conclusion:
Ultimately, I found the game to be rather dull and do not plan to play it again. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend it to others.

Lots of orgasm denial. Very hot game. Gameplay is fairly basic and animations are lacking. CGs are great and main character is a hot strong woman. Not Karryn's Prison but I am seeing some elements taken from it. English translation looks great too.

It's good .

Art 4/5
Story 3/5
Variations/content 5/5



You play as a knight . She gets abused , forced into situation, you get to our her in various situations. Classic. I'll recommend this to anyone who likes these kind of corruption games

Honestly I didn't enjoy most of the game and it was hovering between 2 and 3 star rating for me, but the section before final battle saved it.

Gameplay
Game is divided into two phases: exploration and combat, exploration is pathetic until the final chapter where it gets pretty decent, combat phase takes place is extremely short dungeon when you are done.

There is no gameplay, you only encounter each enemy once to get defeat scene if you want and then just skip all other battles with the same type of enemy because you are already max level and there is no need for gold which you get from jobs anyway. There is extremely dumb and simplistic combat rape, but it's just boring which is quite an achievement for combat rape.

Boss battles are a joke, spam one magic attack 5 times and done.

Porn
Go "explore" the town, which means go to 3 locations, wait for the night, visit 4th location, end exploration. Extremely boring.
The slum area is empty, used once for story event, there are few NPCs standing there that will grope you and that's it.

The saving grace is after you are done with the story and before the final battle, that short section is the good stuff, the rest of the game is just a filler. For this short section you are finally exploring the town properly: seduce NPCs, whore out in the brothel, bar events and more. For the first time the game feels alive just before the ending.

Graphics
Ehh, they are fine I guess, you can see them so decide for yourself.

TL&DR
80% of the game is bad, but painless, flavourless snooze fest with boring "exploration" on rails, 2/5 experience. Other than bosses you can skip everything else and breeze through combat sections in 2-3 minutes.
The other 20% is the exploration phase in the final chapter that is pretty good, I had fun with that, that's the reason I rate it 4/5 and only because I can't rate it 3.5/5.

The only annoying part of this game is prison section, majority of it consists of skipping text.

Amazing artwork and really hot girl!!!
To be expected, the gameplay and story were whatever. But the artwork and H scenes were great!! that's all you can really ask for in these types of low budget games

Ok here we go with another review

Honestly would Give it a 4 and here's why!

Gameplay - 4 out of 5

I'de like to start first with the gameplay. Kiara is a very easy H-game that has 0 grind. It tells you if a battle has a fail H event or not and has a surrender mechanic in the beginning which makes it easier. Basically it knows its a H-game and is not afraid to rush into it. Would have made this a 5 out of 5 if it had a fast skip button

Story - 4 out of 5
The story is great and split into chapters. It has a generic plot but it is great and serviceable. Each of the H-events you can understand and get behind. Good amount of corruption.

Characters - 4 out of 5

Good set of characters, love that there are a lot of hidden events. Each H-event characters (main) are good as well.

H Scenes - 3.5 out of 5

H scenes are good and the artwork is fine but some of the scenes take way too long and is just showing the same CG, it would've benefitted with different postions etc (LOOKING AT YOU PRISON EVENTS). Aside from that without a good skip button you'de just have to sit through it all. Adding a Female VA for this might save it or raise it to a 4 out of 5 if you dont add to it. Lastly personal preference this is a game for those who likes stockings as you get majority of the scenes with the MC having them on. Sad for me cuz i like feet but i didnt deduct a point for that.

Straightforward RPGM game with good corruption and really , really nice art. No grind , no level ups, great scenes with escalating stages of corruption. Checks all the boxes of a fun corruption game.
Playable with mouse which is something I look for in rpgm games.
