RPGM - LonaRPG [v0.9.8.1.3] [EccmA417]

Constantly updated, huge sandbox to play in, in depth mechanics - one of the best H games available, albeit its not easy, and probably bad for your mental health.

Start off a a frail girl stuck in a shit storm, and you're likely to start off getting jumped by rats, and if not that, getting dancing goblins to abduct and torture you? Escape? Pshh.

But when you get the hang of it (savescum), you eventually will rip and tear your way across a shithole island filled with people arguably as garbage as the monsters you're fighting. What a nightmare.

10/10.

LonaRPG is a brutal, unapologetic gem that carves its identity through relentless challenge and a suffocatingly immersive dark fantasy world. While its flaws are undeniable, they paradoxically feed into its cult potential—much like Fear & Hunger—by demanding resilience and rewarding mastery.
The Good:
The game’s stamina system, often criticized, is its secret weapon. Every action—farting, fighting, fleeing—costs stamina, mirroring the protagonist’s fragility in a world designed to crush her. This isn’t artificial difficulty; it’s a masterclass in tension. Survival hinges on meticulous planning: Do you risk scavenging for food, or conserve stamina to flee inevitable ambushes? The constant threat of rape, theft, or dismemberment by mobs isn’t gratuitous—it’s the game’s thesis. Lona’s vulnerability forces players to engage with its systems creatively, fostering emergent storytelling through desperation.
The adult content, while extreme, isn’t meant to titillate. It’s a narrative tool. Scenes of degradation (adjustable via filters) reinforce the setting’s nihilism, making rare moments of agency—like outsmarting a captor or securing a safe haven—genuinely triumphant. The sparse sex scenes serve the tone, not the player’s gratification, which aligns with its grim ethos.
The Potential:
Yes, the translation is rough, but the community’s passion shines through. Fan patches and guides are flourishing, much like early mods for cult classics. The incomplete plot? It’s a canvas for speculation. Environmental storytelling—bloodstained shrines, cryptic NPC dialogues—hints at lore deeper than any exposition dump. This ambiguity fuels forums, theories, and fan-driven content.
The Vision:
LonaRPG isn’t for everyone, but neither was Fear & Hunger at launch. Its jank—stuttery menus, repetitive quests—is outweighed by its ambition. The survival mechanics, when mastered, feel revolutionary. Managing limb injuries, disease, and sanity while navigating political intrigue in a decaying city? That’s depth. The game respects players who persevere, rewarding them with branching paths, hidden endings, and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack that underscores its tragic beauty.
5/5—not because it’s perfect, but because it dares to be something raw and unforgettable. It’s a prototype for what indie horror-RPGs could be: uncompromising, artful, and community-driven. If you embrace its cruelty as part of the experience, LonaRPG becomes less a game and more a rite of passage.

So far so good, I'll revisit this when its finished but as it is now its a really great package all around, interesting RPG and social systems, a ton of depth and variety, and a lot of good art. I appreciate that this game doesn't stray away from dark themes.

Only big issues here are that the game can definitely be a bit clunky controls wise until you get used to things, it can be brutal to a point of annoying since some things aren't explained super well, and you're forced to play a loli which personally ain't my thing. Still quite good!.

This game is an eroge game that is special, incredible story and world building, as well as the sound design, while admittedly, Lona RPG does fall flat on the sound design (still better than most eroge) the world and the gameplay is still captivating enough to pull you in (stealth assassin ftw), especially that many decisions do matter in the world, and do have a consequences.

I expected no happy endings, but actually, seeing the number of happy endings that you could get with some quests surprised me, and that was a good surprise, i love these type of worlds where it never forgoes the balance between happy and sad endings, and comedy, dark or not, as well as seriousness, i am really liking it so far and wouldn't mind purchasing it once the project is finished.

4/5 is probably the highest i could give it since its not complete, hoping for more development in the future and maybe even more cities to visit and playstyles.

Do you like Dark Fantasy settings?
Do you enjoy a challenging survival, resource-heavy, adventure game?
Do you enjoy figuring out builds to survive in a cruel world?
Do you mind playing as a petite girl in a world that is constantly trying to screw you over, literally, and figuratively?
Then try this out!


Now, I'm going to put this out there, you will either like or hate this game. I feel like the target audience for this game leans heavily towards GAMERs who plays with both hands, not just one.
There is sex...but in a grotesque manner, rather, everything is ugly bastard, monsters, forced, slavery, guro, etc...yeah, definitely not vanilla, which emphasizes the dark fantasy the setting is going for.
The game wants to make you feel like a little girl trying to survive in this cruel place, and it definitely gets it across pretty well in setting and game mechanics.
Speaking of mechanics, this is where people might get off-put, the resource mechanics being food, stamina, health, illness, limbs state, it might sound like a lot but it will get easier after a few screwed runs, which is why save scumming is absolutely necessary. Stamina is the infamous one in this game, literally every action takes stamina and losing all stamina literally makes your Lona deadweight. Now you will either adapt and find the resources to help circumvent stamina, or it will gatekeep you from enjoying the game.

Overall, I really do enjoy the game, it feels rewarding once you figure things out.

After reaching level 32 and doing a lot of missions - my verdict is: this game is a waste of time. The sex scenes are almost identical in every case, the combat is a frustrating parody and the quests are all about the same things over and over again. My rating is 2/10. One point for the overall concept and style, the other for some dialogues and a few good NPCs. In short - not worth it, stay away

It's a good game with a lot of things to do, but I have a headache with my friends who like to walk to death or let enemies attack them and like to break stealth. But the main thing is that the game has a good system. I give it 5 stars.

Love this game, really nice art, dark and brutal, like the stat tree, how free you are to make choices. And more but I wont type too much more. Even though i talked about the stat tree and the variety of option, I only go the prostitute route lol.

Its very complete, for all kind of likes, and it have a interesting story, not just for FAP, its really a true game. I already play it a lot of time, and it have a lot of content, notice that the developer haer the players. So its evolving whit time, if u can buy it excellent but first try it thats good.

By far the most overrated game on this site. There is absolutely nothing here that justifies such a high score! NOTHING!

First, the translation, or rather, the lack of it. Unless you speak Chinese, you have to rely on machine translation. But guess what? About halfway through the game, the tool fails to translate most of the text on your screen. You’ll end up wasting hours searching forums for answers and, ultimately having to dig into the game files to fix it manually. To hell with that, it’s just not worth the hassle.

Second, the gameplay: Does your MC want to fart? That’ll cost half your stamina. Need to move across the map to complete yet another generic, cliché RPG mission? Not only does it drain a ridiculous amount of stamina, but you’ll also be intercepted every five seconds by mobs. Want to make a quick buck as a waitress? The whole bar jumps over you to rape, steal your itens and screw your stamina. And I could go on and on on the bullshit game design decisions.

Managing stamina is annoying, constantly quick saving/ loading is a waste of time, being harassed all the fucking time by every thing is a test of patience that kills the fun for the sake of braindead time waster of artificial "difficulty".

But all of those things mentioned above would not be that big of an issue if there was something worth grind for. But there isn't. The game is ugly, the scenes are few and far between, and majority of said scenes are just rape with different shades of piss, scat and gore (at least you can turn some of those fetish off). And that's pretty much all the heroge aspect of the game. You will get more sex scenes in a 2 page doujinshi which the first page is only filler.

How about plot? As far as I can tell its not the worse, but nothing to write home about. And since the late game dialogues are locked behind "moon runes " I have no idea what happens in the "end".

And that was my review of "LonaRPG" for you.

Game is brutally difficult. complains:
1. discourages exploration: moving requires stamina which requires food which requires money which you have awfully least of. So exploration is a no-go.
2. monetary system is ass: the trading system is terrible. you trade using trade points which reset to zero if you move away from the area so saving money is also a no-go. Worked in the bar only to get beaten by the lady and thrown out and I lost all my trade points.

Gameplay can be fun if the above-mentioned points are overhauled for a casual difficulty. At least make moving free except for combat actions and let me save my trade points.


played with cheats on and the story is pretty fun.

its one of those games that for most of you will not trigger your nut instinct, atleast i kind of hope so? For people like me however, it will trigger the hardcore gamer instinct, and youll try to survive and stay a pure virgin just for the challenge. the awful stuff that can happen and is happening around you also adds to the worldbuilding in my opinion. i understand why aaa titles will never add such sexual details in their games. but it definitely adds an extra layer of realism.

5 stars; not for the porn, but for the gameplay and the worldbuilding!

The game has a certain atmosphere to it. Grim, Dark, Brutal, Survival. The atmosphere itself is done well, but that is almost all the game has to offer on a good side.

But then we have clunky interface, lame passive tree, clunky combat, very few CGIs, I expected probably 10 times more looking at game age/amount of updates it had. Most of CGIs you get are copy paste repeat. And the quality of those scenes is not great either.

Also that you cannot really watch most of CGIs unless you lose on purpose is one of the lamest mechanic in H-Games. You either get punished for being a good player by locking out all H-Content, or you get punished by being a bad player by simply game-end/bad end. Either way you cannot really enjoy this game flow however you try.

There is no proper corruption here, like the one that exists in other rpgm games, even like karryn prison (I am not a fan of this one), but just for example it scales gameplay and H-scenes much better, and many other games in fighting genre.

Overall this game is Empty on H part. And as RPG it is so-so at best. I am not sure why would anyone play this.

Absolutely amazing mechanical depth for RPG maker but 100% false advertising when it comes to the beast content. You CAN initiate sex with beasts but they have no unique cg's. They all have the same human penis so whats the point? Its a real shame because the art style seems very suited to the grotesque nature of bestiality but theres nothing here at all. If you were looking for bestiality focused content as I was stay away.

It's about time I reviewed this game. I've played this on and off for over a year now, and it's absolutely amazing.

RPG mechanics, a pretty nice story with good lore, character customization, and plenty of sex scenes, but these can vary. If you do a whore build, the sex is pretty hot. Idk, seeing Lona cum on a orkind dick after fucking through a cave is *chef's kiss* . The rape scenes on the other hand... can lead to blood and bruising, etc. This usually only happens when you run out of stamina or you're not doing a slut run. So you can kinda pick if you wanna see this kind of content.

The game is hard, but at the same time, not really... Once you learn the system and mechanics, it's not really that bad. I'd say the roughest part is definitely the beginning, it's a bit of a grind. But once you get past that, it's pretty smooth sailing. If you try this masterpiece, I highly recommend starting off as a slut on your first run. Makes the grind easier and I think it'll help introduce you to the game.

This game is such a mixed bag cause its very fun AS a game, but all the H-scenes and animations are minimal effort and time-consuming as hell. With all the controversial and gruesome tags I was expecting something... less boring lmao.

I've been playing this game all day. Hands down, it's the best and most immersive RPGM I've ever played.

So far, the quests have been interesting. Characters are well written. The art, and basically everything I've seen in the game so far has been great. Also, the dev is very based, you'll see what I mean when you meet certain characters and see references hidden in the dialogues and item descriptions

It's very hard and unforgiving, and it can be even more so if you're a masochist.

Came for the porn, stayed for the game.

the most awful thing i have ever played. the combat is clunky and borderline unplayable, the sex scenes are horrendous and only likeable if you are into seeing blood and grime on every inch of everything. a lot of the characters are just lifted from nazi propaganda. if you hire someone they will attack you if you try to fight near them since your attacks will end up hitting them with the clunky combat, or they will die to the enemies. the exhaustion system is annoying at best. if you attack or really do anything too much you fall down and cant do anything if your being attacked. its marketed as a harsh game but it's just tedious and clunky.

Probably one of the best rpg hentai survival games.

The art could better, and there really should be more sex scenes that don't require combat. That's part of the mechanics though so I don't know how op would change that. Really needs an easy mode so you can make your way through the game, but having a hard as default game can be good too.

The combat is what subtracted the star. RPGMaker is not made for the type of combat this game uses. Its fast pace, clunky, and spammy. Theirs a reason most rpgmaker games use a turn based system.
