RPGM - LonaRPG [v0.9.8.0.0 Beta] [EccmA417]

Mechanics are too granular and complex for what little content exists.
For example, ranged attacks have you hold a button to activate it, then move your cursor tile-by-tile to reach your intended target.
Except the game isn't turn-based, so your enemy will have zoomed across the map in a zigzag pattern and gutted you before you line up a shot.

Enemies move at about 3x the speed of the player, and there's plenty of weapon-types and special attacks, but all of them are worthless because combat doesn't really seem viable against anything other than rats.
Every combat encounter has you vastly outnumbered by much faster enemies who can dodge in and out of your hit-range while striking you with impunity, even if you max your combat stats, you do about 1% of an average enemy's hp per swing (and they do about 30% of yours, minimum) most of the items/weapons are bad or medicore and any of the potentially good ones are locked behind a perk that locks you out of some of the game's sparse sexual content.

Speaking of which as far as I can tell, none of the sexual content is played for actual sex appeal.

The whole thrust of the game is grimy dirty filth. And not even in the fun way where 'filth' is code for sex.
It's all just shit and piss and blood and vomit.

I was tricked by the huge amount of high-score reviews on this game, and decided to just 'put up with' the game being unentertaining and unsexy until it 'got to the good part' but it never actually does.

And then I walked into a building in the centre of the main hub-area and got instantly forcibly railroaded into a scene where a huge burly guy got fucked in the ass by another huge burly guy in the ass and I realized that this was going to be the whole game.

Porn-tropes twisted into as un-sexy a form as the developer can manage then thrown in your face for shock-value.

0/10, genuinely not worth your time.

Edit: And no, the game isn't 'difficult', it's just bad.

Take a quest, go to the marker, beat up monsters, eat food, clear quest, buy food, buy key at inn to get better sleep/full food, repeat.
The battle isn't fun nor enjoyable, having to eat and sleep amid just strutting through a battle or quest map and the added stamina spend on walking on the main map is just abhorrent, meaning you can't just check something out of curiosity and it feels like you're forced to repeat a cycle until you have enough of everything to not end up in a permanent crawl into "bad end," nr - whatever.

I enjoy darker stories but this isn't exactly anything, is there even a story?

Pretty great overall if you're looking for a bit edgier of a story without going to "2000s red/black OC" levels of edge.
The games a bit grindy at times, but progression feels pretty good once you really get into it.
The erotic scenes are mostly tied to defeat in combat but there's still plenty outside of that as well, and it's also worked into gameplay just fine.
The only real complaint I have is the art, it's great, but why is everyone's splooge yellow?
Really puts me off continuing at times when I finally get to the good part only for it to look like everyone's pumping the main character full of goopy piss.
I always hated this design choice you see in some eastern ero titles, it makes 0 sense and looks closer to piss than it does cum.
If I just slammed some back alley hooker, and my nut turned yellow, I'd be booking a doctor's appointment as soon as humanly possible.
Great game otherwise.

The game has such a good vibe. It reminds me of this one game called "Claire s" I dont know what and I loved it the extreme gore tho is scary but I try to ignore that. So I hope this game turns out to be on of the best games in the NSFW history.

As an rpg it is really really good, i loved the fact that things can go south and you end up dying by multiple factors, out of food, be enslave or even you just suicide yourself if you want, that degree of liberty it is marvelous.

On the sex side it is solid with good mechanics that can be used in and out of combat, personally i enyoed the rpg and combat more than the sex scenes

But overall, a game that you can enconter once in a while and you will remember it foryears

Game of the Century!
I wish there were more games like this.

Even though it's a hentai RPG game, you'd like to avoid the H-part of the game for your own sanity!
It's the first hentai RPG, which I enjoyed playing the way it's intended, reading skills descriptions, tips, dialogues, notes etc.

Pros:
+ great UI
+ immersive gameplay and progress scale
+ well written story / plot
+ heavily modded engine, and it's stable
+ it's like GTA, lots of jokes about "modern" and woke things
+ revolutionary RPG mechanics and skill upgrade trees
+ cute loli protagonist, hav to protecc!
+ avoidable hentai scenes, which is great cuz it's gore, duh
+ really dark ambient and atmosphere, gives cold goosebumps
+ in combat you have to use different tactics, unlike spam click one button

Cons:
- lots of gore
- too scary
- Lona, as well as other characters, looks dirty af
- lack of cute / beautiful art galleries

This game worth every dollar. Developers should make a sequel with less gore, and more cute kawaii lesbo, solo, sexy scenes without brown swollen stinky dicks.

really wanted to like this but its just not good. extremely long tutorial which you are not able to skip, and must replay every time you restart the game, which is pretty often. combat is retarded. why do I fall over and start crawling after being hit by a fucking rat two or three times. seriously? what is that bullshit. combat is terribly designed. while traveling, you may be imprisoned and sold into slavery, pretty cool right? nope its basically game over. restart and play the long ass tutorial again! another dogshit rpgm game. art is okay, tags are out of the ordinary which is cool, just terrible combat mechanics and clunky (to say the least) gameplay.

This game is amazing, literally is the firts H game i truly want to play and just not die for see the H scene and the game it's "hard" but not injust, i feel like this game is like Fear and Hunger "it's hard if you don't know what are you excactly doing". I recomend this game, if you wanna play a real game, and not just see porn whit extra steps because there so many scenes where you will pass of "i want to fuck" to "i want to cry and vomit", really if you are not familiarizated whit Gore or taboo topics don't play it, if you are not sure because you will pass a bad time. for the other side 10/10 masterpiece.

This game is art, but not in a good way for me. There's good bits in here but it's like the good bits in a grotesque violent movie. Like a rape scene with goblins I'm super down for, but when the scene plays out with them as cannibals roasting a human next to others impaled graphically on spikes? Iunno man.

The gameplay is infatuated with itself than being actually engaging. It's easy to make games difficult, it's hard to make difficult games fun. Even when you learn the methods of surviving and master the combat system and minigames, is it even fun? There's no joy compared to other tough survival games like Don't Starve or Rimworld. Even walking is a tax which makes it just not fun, even if you are able to go infinite on stamina. I get resources are scarce, but is grinding the same minigame and repeatable quest what I really want to be doing in this day and age?

The story and art are evocative. I think some people would be super into it, but sadly that isn't me. If we introduced magic or costumes early in the game for Lona to size up her chest that would help a lot. But even then, some of the art choices on how they depict dicks and semen are a miss for me, so it'll probably never land at 5/5 here. The battle fuck sequences remind me of Maidensnow Eve and Dragons and Prisoners, both of which I wish I just playing instead.

But the game isn't bad. It's interesting. Claire's Quest, Black Souls, After Mini and NTR games are better explorations in a hopeless dystopia for me, so I'm landing this at a 3/5. But I respect your opinion if this is a 5/5 for you.

Nice. I like this game, specially on how rough she keep it to life. Harsh and very hard game for newplayer to play.
I hope this game come out soon. I like to play this as it come out full version and complete

The best H game ever for me, period.
If you wish for an unforgiving game, dont mind gore, love games with almost infinite replayability, and and love sandbox games (Once you finish the short tutorial, you are free to do whatever you want).
This is definitely the game for you.

Inovative and refreshing, truely embodies the depths of dark "fantasy", succes to captivate me where all "souls" game miserably failed.

Whether you're here to kill a child and masturbate over his corpse or righteously slay goblins and save mlladies, LonaRPG get your back.

A game that understand the gaming world isn't an industry but art.

A game that succesfuly gives you emotions, since I was a kid, this is the first time I alt+f4 a game because i'm so unhinged. It's the true feeling of being overwhelmed by something bigger than you.

A game that goes in balls deep and feed me the true shit I needed as a player of originals series of the likes of "postals" "resident evils".

Playing this seriously instead of playing it as a hoe game, I was surprise, the game actualy deserve a good review.

I can only recommand this master piece.

There's a guy at the horse fence at noertown relay that claims his ass is itchy fixating over horse's schlongs and one day I just found his corpse blowed up inside out inside the fence, pretty fun.

The game is HARD, it's a true die and retry, every attempt is different, unlike triple A games that feels artificial, the difficulty here feels organic, at least that's my opinion. There are flaws, like some hit connexion, and others minor stuffs but it's still a beta or an alpha.

Yes, some of the content or available choices may be revolting, the point is it's a game and an adult game, if you're not able to make difference between games and reality you should play pokemon or dora explorer. I remember playing postal 2, amputating people's heads before pissing on it, setting it on fire and soccing it trough the town to set other people on fire, and guess what ? I'm total healthy, instead of my mother friend's child who grew without video games, failed miserably at school and is r*"ping men and women alike as a crazy maniac. Morality don't be a single mother and let video games rampage people.

Cons: no jiggly physics (joke).

This is my personal opinion on the game and a lil opening. First of all I've never played any rpgm game as they never interest me before. So while browsing the site in search of some adult game to play I discovered LonaRPG and somehow was drawn to the art style so I decided to give it a shot even though it is a rpgm game.

Upon starting the game in the tutorial I found it to be interesting and quite surprising as the game utilizes an action combat system. Female protagonist is one of my preferences and combining it with the sandbox element makes it better for me.

The setting and lore really got me invested in the game. The MC homeland was destroyed in a tragedy and forced her to escape to another nation. In order to survive she has to do everything she could from the most simplest quest to the weirdest task. The other thing I love about the MC is she is just an ordinary person and not some kind of hero or chosen one. To me this game universe dictates that all life is fragile and equal and anyone can die at any time. The dark theme and setting of this game is not for everyone and I understand not everyone can get into it.

The gameplay is quite hard for new people who don't really know what to do and the smallest of mistakes can lead to the MC doom. However, this what make the game very interesting to me as each travel and quest that you are going to tackle required you to make some sort of preparation and for me that add a level of immersiveness. Sure you can search for a guide but I prefer to explore the game by myself first and see how far I can go and what new thing I can discover. I probably been playing close to 30 hours by now as this game really thick all the checkbox for me.

Tldr; came for some adult game and stay for the fun and immersive gameplay at least for me

Anyway, cheers !!!

[vBeta.0.8.8.3] Review

I like bold games and this one is one of them. Developer isn't afraid to tell a harsh story by any means. This also reflects to gameplay a lot. I'll be honest, I used cheats to become the heroine that Sybaris needs. Even with cheats this game is still hard so I had a lot of fun.

This game is unique and deserves the praise it can get. RPG elements are well done. Stories and missions make sense. Gameplay loop is fun. H elements are well implemented as well.

Verdict: 10/10. This is one of those games that I keep following since the early builds. Simply put, this game is a masterpiece.

I didn't think I'd like this game, because of the gore and grossness of it, but I actually started to like it. I really like Lona's design and character and some of the other character's like Elise. Sadly that didn't last as the more I played it, the more annoying things got.

The game is hard, but that's usually not a problem for me. what I find frustrating is the design of the game constantly working against me. The game works off of a grid system, like many RPG maker games, but it asks for you to be good at combat while constantly fighting enemies that are fast, get in your way when it looked like you had time to go past them, or move in and out of your hit zone while your trying to fight them, causing you to miss even though it looked like your attack connected.

I bought a mine, thought I'd try placing it and luring an enemy to it, so I placed it, pressed the button to throw a rock, tried moving the throw reticle to where I wanted to throw the rock, but this caused me to walk into the mine I placed because I tried walking too soon I guess, even though I pressed the throw button before. This is the kind of stuff that ruins games for me.

Imo, game's should be balanced around their design. If the creator couldn't make a game that wasn't locked to a grid system, then the enemies shouldn't be this annoying.

Edit: I added another star because I do thing it deserves a better score. I still have issues with the game and I think it would benefit from not being on a grid system, but the game has a sort of charm to it that's hard to come by from low budget games like these.

The game is very difficult and torturous especially if you don't know what you're doing at first. I recommend looking up tutorials and builds on the wiki to get you started (Although some of them aren't up to date and are erroneous, but its good enough to get you started at least).

I kept starving and dying off because I was wasting my stamina and gold on buying food and working as dancer at the Noer Inn.

For those starting out, I recommend that you build up your survival skill first as this is essential for crafting food and potions later on in the game. The food will replenish stamina when sleeping and when you max out your stamina, the excess will go to your health.

Hire the dog at the inn using meat soup that you can buy from Boss Mama, go to the forest, enter it, tell the dog to kill animals, have the dog aggro the boar, attack the boar from behind to stun it, just keep attacking and running away as needed, when they die, they give you a lot of animal meat that you can then cook by either making meat soup or good soup, also collect the herbs and fruits. You need plenty of food to regain stamina and health, you lose 10 food for every sleep you do.

On the other hand, I love the artstyle, though I wish the game had more transformation options, I wanted to be able to modify the breast size at least (big booba Lona when?). Also the game could use some quality of life changes, more outfits and traits! Considering by this time the game is still in beta and already has this much content, I'm hopeful for the future success of this game.

The writing of the game kind of reminds me of Project Zomboid wherein it tells you that is the story of "How you died" and it comes off as unhelpful and downright trolling and condescending, like when you die, you get the message "press Z to admit your failure" and it feels like a personal attack on the player.

There's also a lot of references to other franchises (eg. Goblin Slayer, Life With A Slave -Teaching Feeling-, KonoSuba, Emergence / Metamorphosis) as well as some contemporary politics.

Anyways, other than all that, Good luck and have fun to the rest of you all who plan to play this game!

Truly the "Dark Souls" of the Eroge Genre, not to mention kind of reminds me of Black Souls.

While the game is interesting, unique, and rather immersive, far more than most AAA games out there, let alone a porn game, it really comes off as trying WAY too hard. I might be an American, but I don't need to eat 3 cheeseburgers and take a 2 hour power nap just because I wanted to walk down 3 blocks in a town, this is crazy overkill. When you die, the game makes you "press Z to admit defeat". Does this sound like a developer who respects your time, or does it sound like a dickhead trying to make something as tedious and frustrating as possible while reveling in it? This isn't helped by a terrible translation and an even worse tutorial for an extremely convoluted game.

On the other hand, the game is actually rather expansive, and allows for different kinds of playthroughs if you're autistic enough to learn how to play it. The background and sprite art are also great.

I'm giving it three stars because this game is not a porn game and shouldn't even be on this site. It's an unbalanced survival game with extremely disgusting and inhumane "pornographic" scenes that generate nothing but repulsion in the player. Everything in this game consumes stamina, the MC is constantly dirty and you can barely walk on the map, as you are constantly surrounded and defeated by bandits or globins. The game has no option to choose a lower difficulty, the combat is useless because you will always lose, and the tutorial doesn't help at all. On the other hand, the game's art is unique and well done, extremely different from other RPG Maker games.
This game is recommended for those who like survival games and are willing to spend hours learning all the tricks of this game, however, I don't recommend it for those who just want to play a porn game

Game is fun in its own twisted way. Really punishing if you make a mistake or don't know what you are doing. Lona herself is the type of character that is completely out of her element and you want her to succeed. Though the world is cruel and very dangerous. I look forward to seeing what else comes out of this.

Game is like 3.5 stars. I couldn't figure out how to give half a star, so gave it 4.

The beginning part of this game is easily 5 stars and you should absolutely install the game just to experience the feelings it evokes. The world is gritty and grimdark, full of mystery. You want to learn more, and as you play, you'll get in the shoes of the main character, desperately struggling to overcome the challenges.

If you are playing this for the sex, I'm afraid that its bad. There's like 0 romance at the moment. Only disgusting rape by monsters and bandits. If you are one sick cookie, then maybe you'll like it, but it's not that good as fap material. The story and gameplay is great though.

The problem is later on once the mysteries unveil. Spoilers ahead, but essentially the world is aparatently just some script created by these 3 bored gods. Mc finds this out and doesn't even react. And I guess you have to play it to feel the disapointment I feel, but basically all this struggle all this setup and its just 3 bored motherf*ckers.

Many quests are unfinished. Some are not even translated to english and you have to go crazy finding a way to apply the machine translator only for it to give you some pretty shitty translations.
