RPGM - Knight of Love [1J11] [Slightly Pink Heart]

A good story tied down by the usual GameMaker design. There is a lot of time wasting especially at the beginning of the game.

I've played 3 hours and there has only been two side events I found. So for your time you should just focus on the main story. The story is linier.

Art is pretty good and sex scenes have a variety of angles and animations.

This is an overall great game with awesome character models, great animations, scenes and stories. This is one of the games I most look forward to seeing an update for on this site buuuuut I will say, the game design leaves a lot to be desired.

This is an open world sandbox, but there is a locked sequence of events and not really a lot to do other than find the time and location of the next story sequence. Dialogue will only sometimes offer a hint here so you either have to randomly wander the entire map each and every section of day or the smart thing, just spam nap after every story event until it's night to access the hint system. You just have to get used to skipping time a lot in this game. In most games, you'd spend the time in between at least leveling up or doing side missions or progressing a side character.

In addition, the story lines for some characters are just the same thing, over and over. There's one part of the story, where you literally just have to keep watching a movie at night with the same person, like 5 times in a row. Literally nothing else you do will make progress with any other character. In addition, you ask them to watch the movie at night but you will nap till then, wander the house looking for the sequence but find literally nothing to do throughout the whole house and then find out once you've given up looking and gone to bed that the game designer wants you to go to sleep at night in your bed to trigger the "watch movie in the living room" sequences(??).

Now, there's a lot of negative things written above. To be clear, this is because so much of the game is actually amazing and that just makes the poor game design that much more frustrating. Despite this, I still highly recommend playing the game and will continue to do so myself. I think much of what I mention above will be corrected as new updates provide content for side characters. This game is easily 5 stars if it actually gets a more fleshed out open world.

While I have some qualms with this game, I really have to give it 5 stars. It's a super solid H game. Heavy emphasis on sexy content with enough story to be engaging and no more, and the story seems to be quite good as well. Plenty of repayable scenes, great animation, multiple angles/poses per scene, varied and attractive models - the H content is good. The core of the story is a typical "boy in a town with lusty bust babes", but there is an intertwined fantasy story with tangible impacts and quite good writing.

Gameplay wise, the world map isn't too fucky (the town is kind of annoying, school slightly less, but yeah it's easy to get around in and it's not too big). The game has a built-in guide which is pretty thorough MOST of the time. It's RELATIVELY easy to pass time through the day to get to trigger events of interest. Replaying scenes is as straight forward as talking to the woman of interest. There is a relatively inobtrusive autosave feature. It's fair.

So, the qualms I mentioned:

1. I really don't like games that create dependencies between characters - AKA getting close to fucking a character and then you hit a wall and have to grind another. This game doesn't do this too terribly, but it does do it. I understand it's hard to avoid this but it's so blue-bally, you get going with a character you're interested in and then NOPE... Again, it's not horrible in this title, but it's there.
2. Why isn't there incest? Lmao, you play an "EiGhTeEn YeAr OlD mAn" who is living with three random women - one who pays the bills and cooks and cleans and cares for the others, and two of her daughters. I'm aware of the patreon bullshit but the fact that "a RaNdOm InTeRnEt StRaNgEr" hasn't created an incest patch is bullshit lol. Hell, the maternal woman even does son/mom roleplay during sex...

I don't think these are big deals but they did annoy me. That said, if that is what the dev required in order to make this game, then so be it - It's a solid game and I can't knock it for just these things. I am known to update reviews later so maybe the list of grievances grows in future, but for now I'd say it's a 5 star game and I highly recommend it.

Build [Part 1 G3] I have been a long time fan of this game and to see it being remade for a while was a worrying, but as the game stands now I believe the change was for the better.
Pros
-Games graphics use whatever visual software it is to great success it truly is a sight for eyes tired of cookie cutter Kokiatsu! characters
-A good variety of sex scenes and characters
-Characters that have actual personalities
-Good world building
-If you are into dominant small guy, submissive big girl this is your game

Cons
What you are giving it 5 stars? well no game is perfect but I feel its cons don't make it less of a delight to play
-The game plays linearly with free roam elements meaning there is a bit of walking every once in a while.
-I believe with how many possible locations there are for characters the hint system should not be this inaccessible.

I love this game in spite of its flaws though and truly believe it is worth it

Knight of Love is a nice game that makes great use of Koikatsu resources to create a unique look.

Unfortunately, the biggest mark against this game is the fact that there are TWO builds for the game, each with similar, but effectively mutually exclusive content. If you decide to play this game and enjoy it, please make sure to also check out the "old version" as there is a significant amount of content there that hasn't made its way to the 1G2 version. While a lot of the core elements of the game remain the same between the two versions, there are a number of characters with sex scenes in one version and not the other. Furthermore, for the overlapping content, the Dev has opted to create new scenes (even when the differences are quite minimal) for the characters rather than recycling the previous versions.

Differences in builds aside, this game suffers the same annoyance that many free-roam/sandbox games suffer from - an illusion of exploration. In general, the plot has to progress linearly, so you'll spend most of your time checking with the Hint Giver to figure out how to progress the game and then supplementing it with an increasing variety of repeatable scenes as the game progresses. There are a few "side quests" and minor events to be found, but the main story seems to be effectively on rails. That said, a fair number of repeatable actions have no time progression, so you're best off just sitting at the bed advancing time as needed to make progress as applicable.

For graphics, the use of "2.5D" models is really quite nice and makes for a very unique game experience. Unfortunately, although there are animations, the game does not make use of typical Koikatsu animation physics and most feel quite stiff (similar to most Daz animations - a simple cycle between two body positions).

Finally, the game is a bit buggy, so make sure to keep multiple saves. I found many bugs to be exacerbated by excessive clicking on my end (because there is no way to adjust the text scroll speed) resulting in complete crashes and corrupted saves.

Overall, if you don't mind a little extra effort to progress a visual novel and enjoy unique art styles, absolutely give this game a go. Give it a pass if you don't like unnecessary clicks needed in order to progress the main story line and don't care for repeatable scenes.

Game is interesting and shows effort in setting up some of the girls as having more of a connection than just being fetish inserts going through a series of image galleries for the fucking, making their sex scenes more exciting when they happen. Some dialogue feels like it has real heart. Premise of an actual story is somewhat interesting too. The developer had something to offer than just a smut gallery its seems.

But the game's also slow at times, and story stuff sort of just happens linearly. You go through certain days doing nothing, then other days where scenes happen back-to-back. Progress with characters doesn't happen until the game lets it happen. This kind of kills the pacing. If this were a pure smut game, that wouldn't be a problem. But as said earlier, the dev doesn't seem to be treating the game as such, making the lost potential more harmful to itself.

Also no image gallery for unlocked scenes either. Boo.

Can't say its a good, like really good game because of reasons that I will try to explain briefly. This is keeping the rating from going higher:

The mc is a 4 feet wimp and every pussy of any girl is almost bigier than his face.
For a decent part of the game he is just bet up by everyone, there is a scene when 2 random people sense he is hiding and beat him, and later he is rescued by a girl. (this scne was facepalm)
The Mc needs the entire forearm to grab any girl butt, thats how small this guy is or how big the females are, I can't take it.
The guy is a virgin but is a perfect lover sex machine from the first try, it doesnt amtter what he does, the girl will be thrilled, even if she is a mature woman she will comment on his awesomeness. (cringe)
There is a certain linearity in the quests that disconnects me from the game, since I have to pursue girls that are not interesting to me and i have to complete their quests to advance others.
Linear RPGM with no stats and no questlog? There is a guide but its only accesible at night and you have to speak to Anastasia.
The passing of time could be better since there are action that pass the time and actions of the same importance that dont?
Too much fanservice, basically all the sex with Anastasia is fanservice sex.
The single choice menus during sex scenes, what is the use of clicing "continue or next" every 5 seconds?
For some reason there are clouds in the MC room that give access to scenes I havent seen, and one of those clouds prevent me from getting a card (I dont care about card, cause its fanservice but its valid criticism related to the design of the game)
Color palette is too cartoonish and that maybe is a flaw of this engine, but it doesnt look good.
Chunks of exposition is a thing when obtaining some power or moving some plot element forward.

What keeps the gama rating from getting lower:
Some scenes are well shot and planned and sometimes the parties involved behave like human and not souless robots performing actions.
Females bodies look awesome, this engine is obviously the best for that.
Some dialogues are inspired, and funny even.
The minigames are always refreshing.

I think that's it I could keep playing it if it had a reshade or something, cause my eyes are crying deep inside with the birght primary colors.

-Nice UI, it's my first time see the animated UI in any rpg games
-The story is light(for now)
-I don't like most of the 3d hentai games because the art is not detailed(if it is, then the game size will be more than 10gb) but this game is one of my "exceptional" list due the animation went helluva smooth
-I like the idea that you make this game in rpg mv and not in unreal engine, which works fine with my low spec laptop
-no oversized booba... Dont get me wrong, I like big booba but in 2d games...in 3d? not so much
-I hope I'll see more gal with "bushes" on the next update

There are enough comments, so I will not get too long:

Positive:
* Very nice 3d art.
* It's simple, both the story and the interaction with characters ... Unfortunately this also works against him.
* The game knows how to tell you who you should interact with and who you shouldn't.
* Excellent women and "attractive" conversations. Not bad.

Negative:
* Simple.
* Exploring to discover supporting stories or improving your relationship with supporting characters often feels useless. You only interact with them if the story needs to move forward.
* Virtually all NPC characters have no routines beyond going to class, showering ... It feels very empty about that.
* IN MY OPINION he needs to be dirtier about sex. Dirty and hot ... But it feels good.

I vote with 5 stars to better position the game, because it deserves it.

Neutral 3. (might be higher. did not manage the first school day before i got annoyed)
Good
- Seems like a nice style
- First 3 love interests were only slightly stereotypical (at least the social media bitch girl was missing which is a breath of fresh air)
Bad
- Loser Protagonist
- Cliche Bullied Beginning

Honestly I have no idea how it continues after the bully beats your ass, but I just dont get why every non-alpha male protagonist template has to be a little bitch. Is it cultural ? Maybe an american or wherever thing ?

Great game with an interesting plot. Only thing that sucks is that the creator had to go through with remaking the game, I personally felt that the old version was equally as good, but the new version got more scenes so can’t really complain. Pluss, it’s his/her creating and if the developer felt that the game wasn’t perfect enough, then it's his/her choice to decide how move forward. Can’t wait to play more, will defiantly pledge my support!

It's just too buggy. Black screens, crashes, no way to turn off the blinking on the screen. I've tried to start this game several times, but it's just too buggy to be enjoyable. I don't know how the folks with all the four and five star reviews get through it.

The game is just amazing i cant think of anything bad to say about the story is amazing the characters are amazing the graphics of the game are amazing so i really hope the developer/developers keep updating it till its finished

I just played this game.
Very unique graphic style.
I can only say BRAVO.
Unlike many other games it is not based on DAZ models , but they are still beautiful despite cartoonish look.
And I am fan of RPG style, tho it is not full RPG way of play.
Im waiting new update.

This is the review of the old version. But I recommend you play the remastered version that will be the better ver.

Story 4/5 common harem story with some fantasy
Characters 5/5 full of charming characters. You can easily find your favorite girl.
Lewd Scene 5/5 I think lewd animation is the best part of the game. Tone of lewd animations with such a great POV angle. Renders are great too.
Overall 4.5 /5 This is one of my dream games.

I really tried this game but after 5 minutes of playing I just can't. The Engrish and spelling are pretty awful. As of now it's very cringeworthy. The dev seriously needs to find someone with a better grasp of English to fix it. I understand the world doesn't revolve around the English language. If he's going to make a game for English speakers the game needs serious help.

The windows used for closeups of the characters speaking needs a major overhaul. They are very distracting with all the sharp and weird angles being used.

The game could potentially be really good with a few major adjustments. I might keep an eye out for it in another 6 months to see if it's gotten better or worse.

[Part 1D]

I had an old review here from version 0.17.03 where I took a huge shit on this game and gave it a 2/5. That feels really unfair now after I've played it again. It's actually becoming really good. It's got some really aggravating issues to deal with still, but on the whole the game is quite good, and very fappable.

The main selling point of this game it is definitely the lewd scenes. They can make even the most jaded fapper coom buckets. I'd score this game a full 5 just based on the lewd scenes alone if the rest of the game was just average because they are exactly what I want in an adult game.
+ nice buildup
+ likeable characters
+ well written scenes
+ nice angles
+ good variety
the list goes on

I'm also super impressed by the development process so far. What I witnessed back in the earlier version I reviewed is improved upon in so many ways. I don't have the energy to list it all, but believe me when I say this dev is not just sitting on his ass.

however, there are still serious problems with this game.

- Crashes.
Whenever a fullscreen animation is about to load my game has about a 40 % chance of crashing. Thank God for auto save! Sadly, the interval between auto saves can still be several minutes. I've been forced to "enjoy" repeats of this game enough to get really provoked by it. I would strongly suggest to the dev that you change engine to something decent and less crash-prone. Unity or Ren'Py, I don't care, just try to understand that using the RPGM engine for this project is a huge anchor around its neck.

- Time wasting.
It's not your standard grindy game, but it sure wastes a lot of time. The main "gameplay loop" is 100 % there to waste your time with stupid RPGM mechanics like walking to and from places and literally skipping time by sleeping. It's stupid and I hate it.
I'll come back and say it again, this game would be a lot better if it was just a standard VN in Ren'Py. The story is linear anyway, so why bother with an open world?!?

All in all though, this is shaping up to be something great. Once the kinks are sorted I could see myself giving this game a 5/5. We're quite far from there yet though.

I'll continue to keep my eye on this one for sure!

good game ,good graphics , good story , somme bugs for now (0.17.03) have to save really often

, but really good , well balanced between action and sex scene , need more content with each females maybe ? fetish ?

Reveiw:
Very good game with great potential in its core.
was suprisingly fun and some animation are very spot on with the art style.
Depite its pretty linear it is very eventful.

The Makers of the game are realy on something great here and the finished product will be awsome

Story wise its seems good, but couold use some tweaks and some humour stuff.

Choices in the game "joke, silent", i dunno if it has any impact on the storylines

TIPS:
Save alot ^^

Hope this game comes to Android Platform to.

SPOT ON!:
Karens Boobs
Ann Night Scene
Teachers Home Scenes



Need improvment and Ideas:
The Game client is unstable at point and shut down the game at points, hopefully they are lookin in to it.
Crashes in the "next" Cutscenes

Lags at Nights when going around areas and in the void wich is the worst lags.
But its due to the instability in the cleint i think. Few tweaks it should be fine.

This game seriously need a Questlog and Precentage meter, since i got lost very easy in what i am doing whate i have done. So got confusing in the end.
I recomend that they get on that.
Since its just the missing ingredient to make this game perfect.

Perhaps a Scene Gallery at the computer in your room.
and perhaps put Questlog and Precentage meter in there , think it would be the easiest place o inplant it in the game for them unless they implant a phone in the inventory

For some reason i could only play to previous version and got message it the end of that version. rebooted nothing happend.... waited to next day (irl) i could play the latest content.

Managed to break my save, by activating Rivera at the Bar Scene a second time While exploring. Where you go on the mototrcycle home and realize you are neighbors.
game autosaved there and only get black screen from now on.

Game autosaves at point or not able to save at point in some areas.

Great game. I didn’t think I would like the art style all that much but it grew on me. Storyline is also good and makes it worth playing even though the game can be buggy. I’m definitely excited for SlightlyPinkHeart to add more content.
