RPGM - LonaRPG [v0.9.6.0.1 Beta] [EccmA417]

Edgy gobbledygook from an author who's in such disconnect with aesthetics, sensuality and eroticism it makes you wonder whether he's ever felt anything in his life that wasn't nu-metal-fueled angsty rage.

The game's grimdark edginess could've been used to underscore the rare moments of beauty and tenderness, which, alas, LonaRPG doesn't have.

Its mechanical richness, if properly balanced, could've helped conveying the feeling of struggle thus enhancing how rewarding overcoming them would've been, but instead serves as a source of endless meaningless frustration.

The scenes of brutal gang rape are barely distinguishable from those of street-corner prostitution thanks to the game's poor vocabulary and its extremely overdone puke-inducing effects of blood/piss/cum/dirt (in whichever combination the game's creator's sick mind chooses).

All the characters you meet are either one-note throwaways or cringeworthy animu stereotypes, which further drains the game of humanity.

Simply unbearable, repulsive garbage.

+ Good art
+ Edgy humor
+ Great atmosphere

- Tedious, resources aren't hard to acquire it's just that foraging runs become boring very quickly
- Enemies take years to kill
- Stamina is decreased by things like incoming damage, sprinting while enemies are around, sneaking, the game wants you to be assaulted and it's not good for combat
- Pathfinding is godawful, NPCs get stuck on EVERYTHING and they're either slow or very slow
- Stats like dirt and mood that decrease/increase at astronomical speeds dropping damage to 1
- Cheats are required (notice that turning off dirt is the first option in the cheats menu), cheat engine speedhack is required as well, I pity anyone who plays this game without speedhack
- Friendly fire should be disabled because the combat is such a mess it's rarely possible to not hit your allies
- Companions die like flies especially to map encounters and their mood damage carries on so even if they survive they suffer horrible debuffs

In my opinion LonaRPG is best game that was ever made for RPG Maker.

Scenes may not be animated but gameplay is really good and brutal, Lona can be brutaly fucked by goblins, humans, fishkinds and pigs.

This game is truly hardcore difficulty, simply switch pee&poo ON turn DOOM mode ON and have fun ^_^ this game is not like You just lost and thats the end.

Lona is weak tiny girl with no boobs ( i like flat ) You have to survive in brutal world as best as You can, there is some kind of "Story line" but You can completly ignore it and just have fun, so far i played:
-> As whore ( using Lona body to make money and survive )
-> As smart girl ( its cool that giving points to Knowledge unlocks new dialogues and options, also smart girl can become rich )
-> As Assasin ( if You are smart You can defeat ARMIES of monsters, great planning with rocks, traps and mines makes Lona TRUE KILLING MACHINE
-> As Hero ( Just finish all quests in game )
-> As Gladiator ( defeating "Bosses" is kinda hard but possible, and if You were taken to Human Slavery they can sell You on arena its difficult but can get pretty easy if u put some points into Attack and You obey guards

Amount of options You can do in this game is really huge.

Game is not looking best, Lona art style is simple and dark but its fine, many sex scenes are repeating over and over again but game is not getting boring because most of the time You gonna be in new situation.

Thing that really suprised me was that Lona pee hole got fucked too
thats pretty rare to see in games


Ahh and remember to sell Your goblin childs to Elise!... ( good cash )

Only problem is the program that starts the game.

Everything else is fine, but it's still in the testing phase.

Since there are so many updates, sometimes it's better to have all the patches in case of a file error, but it doesn't always solve it.

It's a great rpg, but people who don't have certain fetishes may find it strange if they leave the urination and defecation fetishes on. In my context it makes the game more realistic, but not everyone will find that.

This is one of the few games that comes from the reality of the ancient world.

this is what i wanted from a survival rpgm game
i love that the game intentionally made you weak to really hammer the survival element home basically the highest likelyhood is you will die allot
but thats the point its up to us the player to survive long enough
however this game will try to make your characters life hell
it gives meaning too the h scenes and really does feel like your homeless and have to survive

art 9/10 art is great might be not too everyone's taste but its really good most of the game uses custom assets something that is the hall mark of a good rpgm game

gameplay 10/10 you really do feel weak and trying to survive actually takes effort honestly this could be a great game even without the h elements the hentai is just a bonus

overal a must play even in its currently unfinished state

The course and beginning of the story are very effective. With the impact of visual designs and narration arrangements, you have a high chance to immerse yourself in the world of the game. The game has satisfactory length and details as a good RPG. Still, the mechanics and storytelling are so occupied with the combat mechanics that after a while there is almost no need for sexual interaction. Sexuality is, even so, purposeless that it is more beneficial to progress by battling in some places, and for this motivation, calling this game "erotica" does not seem satisfying and possible to me. It would be more appropriate to call it an adult RPG with a focus on the gore content. I recommend that pals who read mostly erotic and passionate novels should not anticipate having similar experiences with this game. The graphics and gameplay of the game are unmistakably a very consistent and quality production, so it definitely deserves high admiration, but unfortunately, I cannot say that it is a good erotic game, it can be considered a bit of a disappointment in this regard.

I cant feb to this but its damm good game!
bdsm not my thing but rpg part is great it takes a little getting use to but when you get controls it all comes together. Don't get me wrong game is hard and it meant to be like that. pregnancy system is good and many more futures awaiting to be explored.

I honestly don't know how the fuck you are supposed to beat this game without cheating. Actually, I don't know what the fuck came to the dev's minds when they asked themselves "Hey, you know, that thing people like in porn games, yeah, the porn ? What if we make it has painful and obtuse to reach as possible ?"

This game isn't a RPG, it's a punching ball simulator. You stamina stat goes down like it's nothing at the slightest action you perform, and once it's out, you better hope you're not surrounded by enemies or it is a slow, insulting death without anything you can do to prevent it. The only way to win fights in this game is charging blindly, die, memorize where you went wrong and then try to route out a path where you spend as little stamina as possible, and then leave as soon as the quest is done.

Of course, since it is a hard game, resources are scarce and you have nothing on you at first. You can try to prostiture yourself to earn some money, but every action with the NPCs in the hub world uses a stupid dice roll system to determine if you're allowed to do that. Want to prostiture yourself because you're desperate ? 10 vs 75, too bad. Want to escape the goblins ? -27 vs 1. Seriously, what the fuck are those numbers ? There's absolutely no way for the player to increase their stats enough to get a good roll, and I got these on the "easy first quest" you get at the guild.

The game has a tutorial, but once you're out of it and step into the hub world there is no direction on what ou should do. No tip to guide you, no indication on which zone to reach, on which character to talk to, and since the simple fact of moving from one tile to the other drains your stamina like crazy, you'll be spending your time just reloading your last save file just to explore a different tile. Like, what the fuck ?

And don't forget the fact that if you lose a dice roll against a pursuing enemy (which will happen almost all the time), the game takes its sweet time to get you to the gave over after a couple of minutes trying to skip all of it to get to reload the game. Don't get me wrong, the artsyle is nice, but the only way to get it is by losing fights and dice rolls, and with unforgiving the game is, I didn't bother looking for them.

There is a skill tree with different options in this game, so I thought I could take a slutty path to get money faster and make it easier on me, but it seems the only way to win is to go full stealth or combat-focused to win the encounters, so I'm not gonna bother with these either.

Honestly, I don't understand how people think making porn games hard as fuck is going to make them more enjoyable. You're locking a lot of people out of a game they could have easily enjoyed and spread the word around if your game wasn't just unfair. At least please ease the player into a difficulty curve instead of throwing the player into a tutorial they might not even win. That's how hard the game is.

If you want to have fun in this game, just download the cheat mod, or do like me and brower the game's folders for the sex scenes. I don't recommend this game at all.

Props to the dev team, their porn game looks good. I have tried an hour or so and the idea seems interesting, and it could definitely look good when finished. However, it feels awful as porn and as a game.
The game itself is horrifically dark (tone and actual screen view), partially explained, and punishing to the point that you could in theory scrap a save if you take 2 damage and not 1 damage from an event. On top of that, rather than juggling rpg elements, resource management, and a world, the gameplay is also crippled by having to bother with porn, and as a result, actually finding porn in a porn game is more of a punishment in the game's own mechanics. ex. I got injured/am out of resource so Lona is sexable.

As for the porn? Not only does the game have one of the cardinal sins of a porn game, that is, punishing the player for going for it, any sexual activity negatively affects you; or worse, putting both hands on keyboard to play a porn game that actively resents you for playing it for porn. The gameplay loop could be replaced with playing a survival game like an idiot and anytime you die, you pull up a hentai screenshot or two. It is also limited to Lona, who in all honesty, as a malnourished war orphan (whose age might be low on the magic 1X scale), is not the greatest pull for content.

Overall? While this review is kinda just a thought dump, I can summarize it as such: the game feels like both sides could be good with the effort put in, but both are unpolished, drag down the other's quality, and punish you for aiming for the other. It just does not personally feel worth it to invest more time or effort for a product that is subpar.

This is one of those games that you actually want to play not only for the XXX stuff. It't dark, it's interesting, the story really gets you going.

It really brings that "I actually wanna tryhard and beat the game" feeling which I find present in "Roundscape Adorevia" and "A Struggle with Sin".

On the visual side, the art style really lends itself to the atmosphere.

It is a definite 5 star in my eyes, potential coupled with whats already there can make this game one of the top RPGMs out there.

The best game in its genre. Craft, pumping, missions, dialogues.
The map in the game is large, but almost every location has additional missions. The game will not be boring. There is a bug in the game when you come to the church on the mountain in the mission crashes. I think this will be fixed. I played in different ways, as the author of the game intended and just with cheats. I destroyed the very fortuneteller at her house, destroyed Ellis (from the records you can understand he is not our friend) The puzzles in the game are difficult for a beginner. For about 3 hours I could not figure out how to rotate the drawings so that the door to the fish dungeon opens. You can play the game in different ways. I found a way to get into the fish dungeon without Ellis. Then the script is triggered and the ladder extends to the heroine. (spoiler: D) The game itself is perfect. Yes, the animation here is not very good, the pictures are static. But this can be forgiven and understood, because the game is real top. Top 1 on this site on the engine RPGM

Man this is awesome stuff, love it! Somewhat grim, though.

PRO
* Graphics and arts are superb, the heroine is hot and appealing
* Thoroughly worked large open world, lore and plot
* Tons of various content, both the gameplay and the sex scenes
* Graphic violence, gangrape and weird shit

CONTRA
* The game is generally hardcore and unforgiving

now THAT'S a very different game. i love the gameplay and the nastiness but i'd love it if the dev's would go easy on the players. without the save editor it's pretty much impossible to get through in the game.

No balance in this game. It's rigged to make the protagonist miserable. Leveling up barely changes anything. Stamina constantly runs out when you're in a pinch. It's more of a punchbag simulator than an RPG. Extremely unsatisfying experience.

Game that requires thought, planning, and skill, while also itching the horny urge and has a LOT of scenes to "play" through. It covers a lot of the extreme side of things which I absolutely love! It's hard to keep track of every little thing to do, but with time it's easier.

The choice of implementing real-time combat in a HRPG is both rare and excellent. This change how random encounter in the world map works. The only little problem I see in the battle system is those keymapping. It would be more efficient to have a universal attack key, and another key to switch the function of the prior key (maybe change the main hand action with secondary hand action). The AI is smart, it will change attack direction if provided the space, know when to run away, and have vision system!!!

EccmA really could've added another default keymapping with wasd+67890yuiopjkl though

Pretty decent grim hentai rpg maker game. Very high quality art and animation.

Only downside is needs more content, just more to do, more missions, and some more interesting things like maybe a relationship system

Okay i am gonna be honest about this game.
This game has a very big versatility, that means you can do a lot of things exploring the world. There is so many different quests, places, enemies and items.
But most important is that this game has a lot of graphic violence, such as scat(which can be turned off on the menu) , miscariage(which can happen a lot and the scenes are pretty heavy) and others types of violence, such as the fact that the heroine here can be killed by traps, by starving to death and others things.
So I strongly recommend for those who are not into this type of violent content to avoid this game, since as i said, it is pretty dark and violent.
About the art, well at least for me the art here is okay, neither very good neither bad.
About the pregnancy, the game has a pregnancy mechanic that allows the heroine to get pregnant by a lot of enemies/npcs, but be warned once more, the pregnancy here also can be pretty violent, since a miscariage may happen even if you take good care of heroine's health.
So yeah, I'm not saying this game is bad, however it is not my type of game.
Note: This game is very hard, you need to be very careful about exploring the places looking for resources such as food. Also the combat mechanic here is kinda lacking for me.

7.3.0 is the version I am reviewing, and I am playing on a phone with a Expert Weapons Lona. Experience may vary.

Knowledge is power, it's the biggest takeaway I have learned while playing through this game.

If you do not respect the game, it will brutally beat you down until you do. Mistakes are punished, and saves are recommended.

But when you do learn, you will feel things click into place. My current build is a mix of stealth and brute force, knocking people out and then backstabbing them will deal enough damage to blow a good portion of them into tiny meat bits.

Which I then throw into the pot and cook into a good ole meat soup. Delicious.

This is absolutely top tier compared to most other porn games, and a keen eye will see the passion it took to make it to where it is today.

It is an excellent game, and I hope the dev never loses the passion for it.

great game yall but you may wana add the horror tag cause holy fuck the give up scene in the monster cave is messed up and definitly fits the bill of horror. the combat and graphics are great though especialy for an rpg maker game.
