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

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.

This is a CG hunting game and combat is just for there with really nice art , decent good story with a twist , in another word this is an enjoyable experient , more like a visual novel
most RPGM game on this site is pretty much a pain in the ass to play so here we have this just for fap , it does worth 10$ i think

Good game.

Art: I liked it. Not sure how much there was but there were plenty of scenes, some were definitely reused but if that is done well narratively, then more power to every creator.

Gameplay: Standard rpgm, but absolutely no grind. I know that is a huge plus for some people, I did not mind either, because without proper utilization it can be just a hassle.

Story: Nothing world changing, I'd call it servicable.

I have a thing for strong female mc's getting fucked silly and taken over by desire. The corruption part was not elaborate but this game does not try to change the world in any way. I wish we had a lot more games like this instead of half baked shite slapped with early access monthly milking strategies. I liked this game, did not promise much, but definitely delivered what it promised. Bought it around half way through. Definitely recommended!

It's good, although kind of short imo.

The content is good but variant is VERY lacking for this size. I've seen another game with smaller file size AND more variant than this one.

It's quite mediocre, but above average so I'm giving it 4 stars

7 / 10 - If only the content size match the file size

Tldr; Generic story/gameplay, cheap-looking art, and sound effects that make you want to pierce your eardrums with a toothpick... Hot MC, though.

Right, so the story is the typical 'Magic place makes sexy MC horny and now she is fine getting plowed by the beggar across the street', seen it 50 times before, the gameplay is again, classic spam attack to win encounters, though the battlefuck is a nice addition, I'll give it that much.

The MC's design is pretty good, I find her pretty cute but the top of her head has this sharp angle that made me think it was a glitched picture at first, but turns out it was intended, which brings me to my point about the art, it sucks. The art in this game feels very cheap, the details are lacking, the penises are so strange and repulsive that I really felt bad for Kiara halfway through the game, having to deal with such things.

I would like to also give a dishonorable mention to the sound effects, every single one is so over-exaggerated and out of place that it feels like the game is trying to parody hentai games rather than trying to be one, honestly, play this game with audio off if you want an enhanced experience.

Overall, was gonna give it a 2/5 but the sound effects really hurt my soul so it's a 1/5.

I've never left a review but since reviews have helped me pick out games before, I figured I'd give back.

Game version: 1.05
Time to complete (main story): 4 hours 12 minutes
Overall score: Average (3/5)
Play this if: you have nothing else to play and want to clear through a short game.

===============
Gameplay (2/5)

As all the other reviews have said: this is not developed by Remtairy. As of writing this (July 29th, 2022), it is incorrectly stated on the forum page that the developer is Remtairy who localized and helped publish it. We all know the quality of Remtairy's work. The only similarity you'll find here is background music used for this game and one of his.

What Kiara - The Knight of Icicles does well is give you a palette cleanser. The game can be completed within 3-4 hours, easily in one sitting. I expected the short story would allow side quests to be present. Sadly, there's not much. The town felt more like a screen you had to walk from top to bottom when starting a new chapter. There's nothing but a few locations around town with zero incentive to explore those. If immersion is important for you, this game won't provide you any.

===============
H-Scene (3/5)

Fights contain what the game calls "ero attacks". Enemies can remove Kiara's clothes or have some ero attacks (such as fingering her) with her clothes still on. There's not a lot of variety in enemy types, so in turn there's not much variety in their ero attacks. The worst is enemies can double-team Kiara but any of them can instantly stop the double-teaming and turn it into a single ero attack. This makes H-scenes within fights very random and uninteresting after seeing them once.

You can surrender during fights with a typical "defeat" scene with no game over. You will never use the Surrender skill due to how powerful you are from the very beginning. What is interesting comes afterwards where Kiara needs to escape the defeat room. She'll have to dodge enemies, who now only do ero attacks unprompted, and without being able to fight back. You only need to make your way out of one maze (a screen) to make it back to town. It's very easy to escape.

===============
Art (2/5)

If you find Kiara cute, you'll enjoy the art to some degree. Her expressions during H-scenes swap between two frames (yes, two frames) but in sections. This makes the pacing very slow... but the art makes it at least bearable to wait through Kiara getting fucked. Enemy design is not unique except for the ugly orcs and I don't mean ugly in the "Ugly Bastard" kink way. Just... ugly. The good art is the groping scenes and some H-scenes.

===============
Story (3.5/5)

Despite how short the game is, the story is good enough to keep you going. With how quickly I completed the first chapter I decided to avoid the lackluster town and do what I needed to do. This was easy to follow as you have an "objective" prompt in Kiara's room. Completing the objective was the same each time: beat a one-screen dungeon, fight the boss (which wasn't a dungeon boss but a story boss so no variety there), and repeat a few times.

Kiara as a character isn't that interesting. There are better corruption games out there as Kiara puts little resistance to being groped or fucked. The dialogue in H-scenes (story and freeroam scenes) follow the same path. Prepare to see *Tremble* <3 a lot and by that I mean each time she cums. She cums often. What would've helped is if she put more weight into sexual decisions. She's quick to enjoy sex and up for round two.

I'm giving this a small boost as the story contains some neat twists.

===============
tl;dr

Overall, it's not a bad game or a good game. It's average and won't leave you disappointed if your standards are also average.

+Decent story
+Dungeon escape after defeat scenes is a nice touch

-Lack of enemy variety
-Few interesting H-scenes, most are uninteresting
-Overpowered character makes this a breeze

+/- Short, this can be a good game to play between other games
