RPGM - LonaRPG [v0.9.8.1.3] [EccmA417]

You know you're in for a rough ride when the difficulties are Hard, Hell and Doom. I went into the game and immediately fucked up the tutorial, which led to a start with no spear, no food, and sadness all around.

Then I realized the game isn't actually that bad if you start off properly. In all fairness, I was an idiot for skipping the tutorial.

If you're a casual, I'd say back away or wait until future patches implement more content, which in turn will allow for more diverse starts. Fights can be gimmicky, I've hit more allies than I have enemies at times.

Gotta love the little references they added in the game. Fairly certain Orcbolg would kill Goblins for free instead of a bowl of soup,

I do want to mention I'm not a fan of the Home page, as I don't think it's appropriate to incorporate politics into video games. I'm a HK Canadian so i kinda know how the guy feels feel, but let's keep it civil.

Can't wait for the game to be fully out so I can buy it.

Fuck me this is a traumatizing experience, first time I played I got beaten to death in the street by loan sharks after escaping a goblin rape cave. Now I can kill everyone in Noer with my asshole. Dev is a nice guy, works very hard on the game I recommend you buy it.

unique in its own way and lots of story to it also the difficulty to it that you don't see in other games. Though leveling is hard and tedious to do the survival base side really stands out as you have to watch out from being killed by a lot of things good that new weapons are being added in. Be nice if could also add in more skills to the tree to give more different game plays, But a good game so far compared to others showing a more grim life to adventuring and troubles to endure. Still needs a lot of translating for it though. A good erotic feature is, that it doesn't involve just the main character at least and its not just about Lona going through this grim life. The grim ending for one of the characters made your choice stand out more and helps liven up the story either good or erotic.

This is clearly a well made game, but is far too difficult and overly complex in my opinion. I just wish the content could be within a easier to play game. I've tried a few times to get into it, but overall it's disapointing.

Well, I played it
I'll tell you right away the game is 10/10
The original, the best, and of all I've played
Even when everything has passed, playing is not boring
Add the possibility of building a house and creating your own community
goblin fishermen, etc
These projects often have little funding for major upgrades.
And the further fate of the game depends not only on sponsorship but also on the desire of eccma417

First off, this game is NOT a traditional H-Game in any way aside the fact that it is a topdown RPG. It throws most things you think you know about these types of games out the window and lights it on fire. I would even go as far and say this is not an H-Game at all, it fills a very disturbing niche but it does it in a excellent and unique way.

Stylistically it's clearly influenced by LISA: the painful (check it out on Steam) and is overall extremely dark and gloomy. It gives off Darkest Dungeon vibes, regarding overall game difficulty as well as atmosphere. More about H content later on.

The RPG system is insanely fleshed out and deep, with stats, debuffs, movement speed, stamina, food, character mood and much more. In that regard, I would give the game 5 out of 5 stars as there has been a lot of effort put into the fundamentals of the game. However, in a weird way that is also the game's biggest downfall. The complex RPG system and unforgiving difficulty together with the super sinister artstyle does not pair at all with the expectation you would have of an H-Game. At times you are literally just trying to survive, looking for food and shelter, hoping you dont get ambushed by a group of bandits, which more often than not ends in permadeath and the MC quite literally destroyed.

Like mentioned earlier, the artstyle is very sinister and so is the H-Content. If you get a kick out of someone getting kicked (heh) and beat to a pulp, then this game will definitely do the trick for you, no doubt. This is basically one step below full blown amputee murder H content to put it that way. (please mind that I only played about 4 hours so maybe I missed that lol)
Death, despair, corpses and torture would probably sum up the topics the best way.

tld;dr. This game is a really well made and absolutely unforgiving RPG with taboo themes, BUT it is not suitable for fapping whatsoever in my opinion, unless you got a few screws loose which is also perfectly fine I guess.

(Played 0.4.4.3) LonaRPG hints at being so much better than it is, but is hamstrung early on by some basic issues that make it excessively frustrating to play. This is doubly unfortunate as it actually seems like it could be a decent game with a standout style/genre against the tsunami of VNs that apparently dominate adult gaming.

In particular, there are two main issues that made me put this down permanently after ~1.5 hours - nonsensical controls and frequently getting locked into events with no way to skip. RPGM games often work well with a controller and this is my preferred way to play them, but while Lona has made an attempt to accommodate controllers, they've gone overboard in separating similar functions on to separate buttons - why is loot/pickup/interact a different button from attack when they both advance dialog? Also regarding dialog, this falls into the same trap many RPGM games do of presenting dialog/interaction choices on a new window instead of at the end of another, making it very easy to instantly select the wrong option if you're trying to speed through the text. As for the events, in my relatively brief time with Lona, I was pulled into "cutscenes" that I could do nothing about (including being unable to open the menu to quit/reload) but button mash through the text multiple times. Perhaps losing control could be viewed as somehow related to the theme of the game, but taking it to the extent that you have to get through these events to even get to the menu just makes this not very fun and eliminated my willingness to spend more time with the game.

I've set a watch on this and will absolutely return when the game hits completed or gets abandoned, and will update my rating at that time if things have changed/improved. As it stands, I'm giving this 2/5 but if the issues I've described don't sound like they'd bother you and/or you're on the fence about trying Lona out, I'd say you should at least give it a try. With some very straightforward quality-of-life work, this would immediately be 3/5, maybe even 4/5.

game feel likes you play Darksouls (if you likes to stay virgin ) with pixel style

Best hentai game i ever play in my life hope developed can make it full version please support his projects this is masterpieces

So far, many game im playing on RPG both that not R18+ or R18+, but i can say that this game is the best list of RPG game im play, its amazing to see how actually chaos is medival when morality is low and economic is depending on Character LVL.

Maybe its bit confusing and Hard for new player manage money, stamina, hunger etc. but after play for while and read a general guide, its very fun to play also there is potential for Speed run or harder difficulty.

Also im looking forward for more story bcus i want to see How is multiple ending this game have might be in future

I don't think I've ever enjoyed an adult game like this. It's not just hot, but fun to play. The world feels like it's living and breathing. Seven hours in, and I'm just scratching the surface.

The good:
+ Great art style.
+ Good RPG system.
+ Plenty of content, and with more to come.
+ Fun quests.
+ Good gameplay.
+ Presents a proper challenge.
+ Good dialogue (overall).
+ Good music/sound.

The bad:
- The focus is pretty much exclusively on non-con, with some dub-consensual tossed in here and there (if you look hard enough, e.g. in that cult church).
- If you don't like urine, you're missing a whole lot of content. If you can't stomach scat (which is fairly subdued), you're also missing some content.
- Some stats/skills/recipes/gameplay elements are difficult to understand.
- Pregnancy can be a chore.
- The AI is retarded, although some enemies are cleverly designed and can block your path semi-intelligently, etc.

The in-between:
~ Certain scenarios / chance events are difficult or pretty much impossible to survive, especially if you get captured.
~ Early game, it's difficult to even feed yourself / survive if you're new to LonaRPG.
~ Lewd mood? Unless you're good at escaping, or prostituting yourself, you'd better save before getting fucked - or it can be game over. And even if you do, you can say goodbye to your hard-earned items (unless you stash them prior / are plenty rich).
~ Performance can be hit-and-miss on weaker systems.

The truly special:
+ Flat-chested, female protagonist in a good game (rare).
+ The art.
+ Almost every aspect of the gameplay.
+ Directed game design. Games like Violated Heroine are fun, but feel like they're of two minds (or many more) with rushed sub-plots, unused locations, bugs for days. Not here. What's there is polished.

LonaRPG is a work of genius, and the best RPG maker game I've played. I'm eager to see how it develops.

The combat has been slightly revamped, now you are able to hold alt to not walk and change your facing which actually made the difference between an annoying feature and an actual fun game. While the combat has been revamped, it is still somewhat counterintuitive if you don't remap the actions on the numbers over your keys, mostly because they are still marked as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and if you had touched any recent MMO, you would be hitting those keys and wondering why your character does nothing.

Regardless of your weapon of choice, the "stamina bar" still depletes a lot leaving you in disvantage against the infinite energy from the enemies.

I find out that you actually need to play the tutorial, skipping it will leave your character in full disvantage unless you build up a prostitute character which is the "merchant" build if you ask me.
When you skip this tutorial, you lose a sword and a pitchfork that are way better than your log. also picking those mice and maggots can give you a bunch of food that otherwise would be not available.
I downloaded this thinking it would be like a post-apocaliptic game, and not exactly for the lewd content. I can see it is progressing on the way how weapons are handled, still the lack of a real swinging weapon puts you in high disvantage against groups or enemies.
If anyone wonder why i rated it "average" instead of "higher" with the stars I gave it, it is because it's not a bad game, but the mechanics are still way more punishing than anything. It makes the first Fallout game to look like Zelda or Fable in comparison.

Unique type of rpg i've played before reminds me a bit of dungeons and prisoners but different mechanics. Love every bit of the game interactions so far and there's so much you can do and interact with most characters. Lots of events and story pathing and skill trees.

Very very hard game, but such a unique art style, very daring and taboo, absolutely love it. The game contains a lot of gore but it actually feels like part of the vibe of the universe, not just random - and it feels sexual rather then just violent. I just wish it didn't feel like a game-over spiral the moment you miss anything - 'because it is a little bit grindy to recover from and it makes it so you don't want to take risks. Like if you dance at the club, at the end of the dance bad things happen, your money is gone, your energy is gone, you're beat up, and especially early on you just cannot step back up. And that's without the world allegedly harder-and-harder - which I haven't experienced 'cause just can't make it far enough into it. But Still like this game because at least the early parts I get to try out are fabulous

Art (static and animated) is really polished and the game offers a challenge that significantly improves immersion. Combat mechanics could take some work mostly because of how frustrating it is when you swing and the enemy moves out of your attack range resulting in wasting stamina.

The game itself has a lot of potential, but one thing that put me off from supporting the developer is how hard they push their political agenda. In the readme and the developer links there are explicit political messages, but thankfully they're not so present in the game itself.

Start, get outplayed by a D20, get kidnapped and sold to the local butcher, repeat. Out of jokes this is the most complete roleplaying game that i've seen that is not text based, development seems fluent and without troubles so pretty sure that is a lot more to come.

I can't believe how much i got stuck with this game. It outdoes itself being more than just some way to see porn, it's a good and fun game to play, with amazing pixel art and a bizarre setting that makes everything a whole. The game isn't even easy, and while normally that would probably be a bad thing for a h-game, that's not the case because i gotta say, the game is both a great game and a h-game and actually makes me wanna get good at it and play it like i would do in any other rpg. You have a great work being done here dev, keep going, i would LOVE to see it finished.

Honestly,
I don't expect h-games to be complicated.
Moreover I tend to leave games that are complicated because I don't play h-games for gameplay itself.
Why I do that is quite obvious, one doesn't play h-games for gameplay itself, but for what the gameplay brings about.
On the other hand, just finished leveling up Lona to 30th lvl and will go back to leveling her up after rating this game.
Game itself (content excluded) reminds me a bit of a top-down souls like with a bunch of different mechanics both hidden and face-up. It honestly feels like if the game was by itself, without the additional allure of h-content behind it, I would still play it because of the fun in managing all the different things, improving tactics and learning more about the dark-fantasy setting the game is built on.
H Content tho, holy cow the H content. I must say, not one to go for all the darkest bases in degeneracy, but this game makes me want to with the cg quality. It's absolutely gorgeous in the grotesque kind of way, and even though it's quite on the dark and brutal end of spectrum it feels fitting for the game and it's premise.
All in all a great game if you don't mind the dark setting and possible endings for your character.

I have simply fell in love with this project, and for the first time in my time at f95 I donated for a content creator.
I just cannot let this project go! I want to see this become a finished game!
I am fascinated by the art which perfectly got the dark doomy mood of the setting. And finally a realistic game with a fragile protagonist.
I found the story intriguingand marvelous. However its pretty easy to get lost in the game's mechanics somitems. (I can be magically obtuse at some point so this is a subjective points) This game is a masterpiece rpg and definetly not just some empty fap material. I can see that the developer is caring and breaking a back for this project so I am also satisfied at that field.
As a conclusion this game has great potential and steadly marching toward completion. I can definetely recommend SUPPORTING AND LOVING this project!

This might be a game with good story and sex scenes, I personally don't know. I couldn't get beyond the 3rd rat but I only did a reset twice after my stamina dropped out mid-fight with no way to restore it while getting hit. If i were willing to spend what is likely going to be excessive amounts of time learning how to play, this would likely be an amazing game. But I am not so I will hope someone will make a renpy version with the story and sex scenes only once it is complete.

Great game!
We come here for obvious reasons, but this game is special in every way.
Dark atmosphere, brutality, freedom..
I can even play it just to hunt wild boars!
I wish sex scenes are longer and not always with bleeding ass.
