Comments
Didn’t finish the game, but I did play one of shoku games in the past, that was fairly okay. Godess Emily and Knight Milk I think? And I remember enjoying them for most part. Anyhow…. As for this game… wow… it was bad on so many levels. On writing part (and I don’t mean translation/MTL) the characters, world, story all it felt so dumb and bland. Main characters were idiotic with no character, villains were morons, world interaction was dull AF…

Running around maps fighting stuff is also obnoxious. You get random combat encounter every 5 seconds… I stopped fighting anything and just kept spamming flee combat, rushed to “boss” killed it, progressed story to get scene… MC is pretty OP, so you can basic attack to death most stuff early on. Map designs, were dull, dragged and boring.

Only redeeming factor that there were early on already showcased some scene/fetish variety and scenes themselves had animated CGi which was nice touch. Plus shoku does have unique art, which can be hit or miss. Although there is some bizarro aspect which I’m not big fan off half the time.

I know later on in the game you get “battle fuck” feature and outfit options which is neat, but I didn’t reach that far into the game as honestly… out of 3 shoku games I’ve played now, this felt just pretty damn bad.
Total Score: 3/10
Game status:
❌ Dropped

as many have said for this game, the combat is broken in this game, whilst having a less-interesting story than other games ive played/theyve played.

Its alright though, the art is nice (i guess), and the scenes are also alright.

3/5. Maybe with fixes and such (if they get done like...) the game would be better.

I agree with the people that call this a bad shoku game. Compared to Petite Goddess Emily and Knight Girl Milk, it was dissapointing. The battle sex is too broken and too boring (and Latia herself can barely use it because she is too slow, so she either gets lucky, or it's better to save her from sex attacks and use her incredibly high physical attack that you better have improved with the skills "+100 attack" and "+50% crit rate" to oneshot enemies while the other girls have some fun oneshotting enemies by kiki.

The story is... decent, I supose. Nothing spectacular, but unlike, say, Senior Knight Mia and May, this one is at least fun to follow, and it has a little plot twist that was somewhat interesting.

The combat is pretty basic, not many skills are given, but the porn content is good (a lot is animated and the censoring isn't intrusive), the story is junk, and the main characters are dumb, obviously written by someone who only see's females as objects, and far too forgiving of rapists, no one really gets punished for their actions, in fact they're pretty much rewarded, which annoyed me somewhat as I would have preferred the option of actually punishing them.

By the end of the game you will have a ton of money, more than you can spend on anything,
there are plenty of outfits that the main hero can equip, however they all pretty much reduce your defence compared to the starting outfit.

Latia the Hero and Her Pleasant Companions made by shoku. In the game's story, the protagonist, Latia, has defeated the Demon Lord and now the world at peace. Despite this, someone is plotting in the shadows to awaken an enormous power and use it for their own counter. The game is very simple compared to even previous shoku games and completing it is quite simple. What amuses are the H-scenes and the situations in which the protagonists end up. Obviously they are very exaggerated scenen and maybe some may not like them but I appreciate them and enjoy them every time. If you want a quiet game I recommend it!

Takes a while to get to the content, and honestly you are so OP in most battles you barely even use the Skills. Fun game for what it is, and the manga style scenes are really neat and refreshing for being something new in a game. Not that long to play, and enjoyable overall but nothing really spectacular and some of the characters just didn't seem interesting.

Pro:

• Images are slick and there are some nicely done visuals
• Smooth gameplay
• Not that difficult overall, if you don't want a challenge you are set
• Manga style images

Cons:

• Main Character is so OP it's not really necessary to do much outside of default skills.
• Linear story, very little branching, just taking defaults gets you to the end story
• Some dialogue that needs work and editing

Awful game. First half is shitty linear VN bolted onto shitty MV engine. Plot does not exist. Every bad trope,,, oooo a masked man corrupting the all powerful heroine though ???? bullshit, we have never seen THAT before. And then he just whores you out,,, game is "property of pervy cuck" simulator.

But that is not worst. Holy shit, the sex scenes art is so fucking bad. Every game by this developer has the same problems, but they seem to be getting worse. SO MUCH PISS EVERYWHERE. Gallons, rivers of piss. Girls with 2 gallon bladders peeing everywhere all the time. Gaping. Vaginas are like clay, push them open and they stay open????

Semen is cotton balls. Like puffy white balls falling out of gaped open holes like pouring cotton balls out of jar. What the fuck, dev.

Bad game. Terrible game. Bad art. Bad story. Boring gameplay. No point at all.

Pros:

• Art looks good
• battle animations look well done
• character clothes option has variety (wish most games did this)
• story may seem a bit wholesome at first if you understand MTL
• If u like golden shower, then its for you (loads of em)
• h-scenes are as expected. All animated
• Tips and tricks are given if u also understand MTL

Cons:

• Item shop has over priced items
• poor store economy (too expensive and dirt cheap)
• Game is like the others from same developer (TRY SOMETHING NEW)
• Menu is horribly translated (Translator needs to look at previous game titles from dev and copy and paste)
• MTL is hard and easy to understand at times
• They REUSED the same sfx for all the titles wtf

Honestly the game is ok, Its a shame it had to be MTL. I have played all of the shoku games on the site and they were all manually translated. I wish someone came and did the same. Rating (3/5 stars)
*Edit*: Since the game has been manually translated rating increased by 0.5

I love shoku games, but this game falls flat in my opinion.
This game also follows the fixed formula just like other shoku games, but it's bad.

Here's why:
Story had no appeal. It's just there for corruption. Nothing more.
Characters were bland. In the end, i felt nothing for these characters, except a bit of pity.
Combat was boring becuase the heroin is super op. You just don't need to buy other equipments or items to beat this.
Enemies appearing randomly was annoying. I had to escape for every ten seconds
The map designs were lazy. If you like exploring like I do, you'd be disappointed. Often, there's nothing there.
In previous games, various amounts of clothes can be torn off, but in this game, they always battle with the same original clothes. Wearing different clothing doesn't really matter in the end.
Battle fuck occurs in the second half, so the content you'd been expecting comes a bit later. After escaping those generic enemies countless times, you'd get there.
And, too much pissing. Ew.

The only good thing about this game is animation and art. Just get a save, and enjoy.

To me, this game might be 2.5-3 star.

Story: First about the story, it's about corrupting our heroines..... Blah blah so it's normal and i have nothing to comment. Average 5/10

Gameplay: Typical RPG. However, the MCs are really strong so yeah, the enemies are like a joke. The sanity system is kinda new and unique but too useless and unnecessary. Imagine you have to go back to the church every time you want to learn new skill or got your female chars got defeated. Also money is a joke too because you're a millionaire, every items are too cheap compare to the amount of money you get from quests. 6/10

H-scenes: Animated, really good and okay. However, the game is short so everything feel incomplete. I don't know.... i just think i could be better if it was longer... not like 30 min-1 hour gameplay.... Not to mention that half of the scenes are "rape during battle" and "raping skill" so yeah... the actual scenes are about 15-20. 7/10

Also because this game is made by RPGMV so it's full of bugs and repeated maps. The map design is lame and copy-paste. Everything is low effort except the hentai scenes. So in the end, this game is full of bugs, half-translated (has been fixed by some random heroes) and has nothing good except hentai materials.

Great game! Translation really need a look over though.
Pros:
-Plenty of lewd scenes
-Multiple different fetishes
-Runs smoothly
-First option in menu is a where to go guide which is really appreciated and impressive
-Comes with saves after the introduction

Cons:
-RPGMV not really a con but a lot of people make game full of plugins which causes bugs and everyone just judges every rpgmv game as bad.
-Character looks aren't for everyone
-Can't turn off some fetishes. like urination (unless i missed something)
-A little short

Overall great games but translation is quite bad. But as I wrote, the first option in the menu is a where to go image which is amazing.

This developer used to create fantastic games, but recently it seems like he's given up. Here's a couple reasons why.

• Switched to RPG Maker MV, the clunkiest engine of them all
• Rarely is music unique or fitting. Even title music was stock trash
• Generic digitized sfx for every little thing you do
• Unneccesary tit jiggles in battle slow down combat
• Pause menu is literally a bulleted list like dev didn't care
• Standing art is constantly the same with characters looking retarded with their mouths wide open 24/7
• Literally no overall story given, and no world building, often the writer acknowledges this like regarding their outfits and simply brushes it off
• Completely inconsistent art style where many NPCs look completely different from the main characters
• Uses random encounters now, which hampers exploration
• An idiotic "sanity system" which amounts to visiting a church every once in a while
• Very short game with nothing ever going on
• Latia supposedly a great hero but has no ability and can only defeat slimes with ease but troubled against others

And the list goes on and on and on. I could write a book on how bad this is. The developer doesn't seem to care about his product anymore, because if he did, he would put his heart and soul into making it fun, and its just not.

shoku's game fanboy incoming! ^^Very good for me, the translation have some issues but still correct, and shoku's art always get me,i give 5/5 for the creativity and some original scene i liked a lot. i remove one star cause for me the city is kinda boring in some ways.

It's an okay game in my opinion, the animation is on point and really good. There is reverse rape and domination from the heroines as well as the reverse.

The thing that irked me about this is that you first have to ONLY THEN do you get enemies that you can fuck or be fucked by in battle.

You have to do about half the game if not more before you have that choice. Even then, you have 1 dungeon where there are enemies you can do that to, otherwise you are stuck with the same old enemies that dont do that.

So in short:

Positives:

* Animation is on point.
* Reverse Rape.
* 3 heroines. (1 is a zombie)
* Main character Latia's arse.

Negatives:

*Have to get halfway or more past the story before you can initiate lewd stuff.
* You get 1 dungeon where the enemies can do and be done to. 2 once you defeat the final boss.
* MTL (but it's somewhat understandable)

Story isn't interesting and more of an excuse for the scenes.
Graphics and Animations belong in the uncanny valley category.
It's MTL. Saving grace is that you can see your next destination on the map, so you don't need to understand it to play.
