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

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

Decent game with good art. It's a diet Tina Scarlet Prison or Makina Fallen City. Art is good, enemies are not just reused assets, and there are H-combat scenes for each enemy (albeit with reused poses for the MC).

Unique on-loss scenes for each enemy. Game doesn't really punish you for losing anyways.

No real sense of combat-progression in the game. Every fight is easy and the only way you lose is if you deliberately lose.

Game loses a lot of its charm in the second half when the same poses/CGs become increasingly reused. Before that point, it's very very nice though.

4/5. Good for what it's trying to do. Not enough cold/serious female MCs so it's nice to have one here. Better games out there though.

The game isn't bad, but there's a lot of wasted potential.
The art is good but progressing in the events takes too much time (since you also have to progres in the main story at the same time), and there's also not many of them.
Scenes also tend to drag on for too long.
The battle part isn't bad, tho. The game is pretty easy, and there is no game over for losing (actually you get a scene and then a short "escape" section). And you don't even need to lose battles to get some action with the monsters.
After all, it's a mixed bag.

Game is pretty mid/average. The good point of this game is definitely the ART/H CG. Other parts of the game are pretty much an afterthought. Game is basically an EVENT CG gathering linear game (the game has forced H scenes and linear plot). PLAY IT IF you like the ART, the dialogue is short and the game ends quickly enough if you just go main story and unlock gallery at game completion. There are some hiccups with the translation (particularly when it comes to battle dialogue wherein the dialogue uses an out of context early dialogue on the scene).

Keep in mind that this game is published(and translated) by REMTAIRY not developed so keep your expectations in check.

Decent art, everything else is pretty basic though. Outside of the inital scene in the introduction and the scenes in the prison section there's nothing to really draw you to them organically, being capped on level and needing no new equipment means there's little reason to visit any location that isn't plot required. So while you could visit the item shop that only sells potions you'll never need or the brothel to earn money you don't have any use for, it makes more sense to just rush to the end of the game and view all the scenes in one place.

TLDR: Barebones game with some alright vanilla scenes, download a gallery save.

Has a brisk but not break neck speed pace. art is 10/10 more realistic style than anime drawing style. story was actually engaging which makes it a perfect 10 for a porn game, 1 star off for no anal scene/most of the positions being missionary.
Also i wish artist where more consistent with proportions, bending over Kiara has a dumper to rival and ghetto latina, standing up she has a perk, but bit flat butt. just a little qualm of mine.

It's a classic corrupting rpg maker game where MC get pushed and pushed until you unlock all the scene.
The art for me is around 4 to 9 depending on the scene.
There is little to none level design and combat system
It's not bad but not good either
Kinda hilarious how they got Remtairy into localizing it though

the art ranged from like a 5 to an 8 depending on the scene

the translation is good but the writing is a bit weak sometimes and doesn't really hit the themes of corruption/lowering of inhibitions for a character who is otherwise a renowned knight.

gameplay is basically just kill the mob or keep pressing defend to see the H scenes. I don't take much issue with this since games like this are rarely engaging for gameplay anyway. my biggest disappointment with the combat H scenes is there is no variations and no multiple partners.

wish there was more events. game doesn't have the length or depth of other remtairy games like karryns prison or meltys quest. it's more similar to clymenia games but again not up to the same quality or quantity of H scenes and corruption.

good for what it is, definitely worth a playthrough and support for the developers if you enjoy female protagonist games like this.

Decently drawn game, but a warning for those seeing the Remtairy label and expecting something similar to Melty's Quest or Karryn's Prison: don't. Remtairy assisted in localizing and publishing this game but did NOT develop it. The developer is another circle called war shop.

Unfortunately, while effort may have been put into the assets, the plot and gameplay suffer. There is no leveling, but there is still combat, and while there is in-combat rape, you have to put in effort to actually lose (unless you just hit the surrender button). What's more as there's no corruption system (the best we can do here are "hot points"), the heroine's motivations and reasons for not resisting the situations she's placed in are contrived and/or paper thin.

If the artwork appeals to you, give it a go, otherwise I couldn't recommend.

This game is honestly pretty average. Easy combat (for winning and losing) with one losing scene for each mob type. You have a few combat rape scenes, but those can be also seen when escaping enemy lairs after losing. Sex scenes aren't too bad. The dialogue for them are okay. There's quite a bit of dialogue for certain NPCs and certain story plots. Most male NPCs will also have at least one h-scene and they can be pretty short. The art for those scenes are okay too, I guess, some art get recycled often though. There are like 2 or 3 bad ends and 2 different endings you can choose if you beat the game.

If you think the female protag is attractive then try it out.
