RPGM - Completed - Magical Girl Noble Rose [Final] [No Future]

Its a really good game with excelent character desing, rastra is top tier antagonist for an H game
You have battle fuck mechanics and good cg
not too long not too short
the game is kinda old so no animated stuff
overall 4/5

To put simply, i would have given this games 3/5 for its mediocracy when i started playing. But after i finished, i decided to give this 2 stars only, just because of how insultingly mediocre this game is. Absolutely everything about this game is mild, its like having a meal and its absolutely bland, no flavour, grey texture, i would have preferred to have a shit tasting meal instead of this, atleast i could be amused by the terrible taste.

Another magical girl game by No Future, which is not a bad thing. It has a pretty good story, some nice scenes, and a lot of nice battle sex and clothes ripping mechanics. Pretty similar to their other game overall, and strangely doesn't feel as grindy as Exorcist Girl Charlotte. Many of the maps can be re-entered, but some like the school don't have much happening, making grinding a bit difficult.

A virgin run for this is possible, but may take some save scumming, especially in the last few boss fights which can get pretty hard if you haven't equipped properly. Thankfully when you finish the "Recollection Room" which is always there has the bad endings if you want to go back and see them. No Game+ but you can play further by affecting stats.

PROs:

• Cute heroine
• Battle fuck and clothes ripping (faves of mine)
• Not overly difficult or long, can be completed in a few hours
• Actual story - save the city with love...and avoid being loved

CONs:

• Boss fight at the end is a bit difficult
• Some fights require luck (feels like its necessary for the break restraints)
• Few grind opportunities (if you need crystals at the end, just edit your save and avoid the time sink)

Overall not a bad battle fuck game to sink a few hours into, a cute heroine you can either bring through virginally, maybe tease some sexy scenes, or get the bad ends.

Cuteness + BF and Clothes ripping + Fairly easy + Story = 4

H-Games are often between a rock and a hard place. Players demand quality smut because that's what they are there for in the first place, but they also demand gameplay because why would you even bother playing a game rather than loading up your favourite hentai otherwise? Unfortunately for Noble Rose, the game ends up being pretty mediocre in both aspects. The gameplay is a manifestation of all that is wrong about RPGM games and the H-Scenes are average, and even if you find them titillating, there are only about 8 of them.

My primary complaint with regards to the gameplay was that it was entirely unnecessary. The fact that you can one-hit every enemy except the bosses leaves me wondering why enemies exist in the first place. It's only to annoy me and make me purposefully lose? Always has been a pet peeve of mine. Enemies should not exist merely to pad out your game and delay the player at every opportunity. The fact that the combat isn't challenging at all means that the only reason I'd fight enemies is to see the smut. But then, why have enemies in the first place? Why not adopt the VN route? Why not have the poor protagonist be put through shit. Or if you're so adamant on having gameplay, please have a button that says "See smut or skip fight?" Because even if you want to see the smut, and god forbid get a kick out of doing nothing and losing only to see it, you will be frustrated because the capture is based on RNG. The enemies may attack you seven times in a row before they even get to grappling you and tearing off your clothes. You are at the mercy of RNG gods and the godawful, slow RPGM moveset to see your titillating subject matter. It's pointless. It's not fun.

I downloaded this game because the scenes looking nice to me. And the game does live up to that. The only problem is that if you look at the example images, you get half of the scenes anyway. There are only 8 scenarios and maybe 10 different enemy types? The game utterly lacks content.

So, my verdict is that you're better off not playing this. Thankfully, the game has a full save included so if the images do strike your fancy, you can simply witness what the game has to offer from the included save rather than putting yourself through the sheer ennui that comes with bland RPGM gameplay. There were a lot of things that grated on me with Sailor Splendor, and Noble Rose is just a an older, weaker version of that game.

So i will brieflly talk about this series translation here first them the actual game, i have to say that theses 3 games that Meowstrophe translated are all pretty damn good(the translation was good enough in all 3 games)! but i read in the notes that he won't be translating more h-games for a while wich kinda made me sad because now i want to see more games from this ''series'', i hope he will eventually do th rest of them...

Now about the actual game, the story is of this one is decent the art is ok during combat/dialogue but in the CGs they are really GOOD!
And I LOVE how they perfectlly make the Magical girl turn into her normal girl version during H-scenes wich is one of the things Rirustia missed and made me kinda disapointed but this game nailed that! wich is weird because this is one of the oldest right? i wished they kept that in the others games too...

This game has H-combat and it's not bad but also nothing special and sometimes you can get stunlocked in the grabs if your MC has sensitivity really high, also the defeat H-scenes wich are great has the BIG downside of leading into a Game Over wich i don't really like when most games do this but it is fine for this one i guess...
And there is a lack of interaction/reaction from the MC when she is raped but there is a boss that mentions that the MC was raped by her class mates but the MC doesn't react at all wich bother me and there's no CG H-events that aren't game overs wich is also annoying...
even with all thoses bothersome things i still really liked the game and i from theses 3 games i would rank then like this:
1-Rirustia wich is BY FAR the best one
2-Noble Rose wich is this one
3-Sailor Splendor wich i already talked alot about in the review

And that is it, great series, i hope Meowstrophe does more of theses in the future and also thanks for translating theses 3 games.

Yet, another No-Future game, but this one is actually the older ones than Splendor

It's pretty damn similar to Rirustia, its movesets you unlock along the way and map enemies that aren't a pushover, your very first skill is able to kill them in one hit (as long as you keep upgrading your equipments), the bosses in the other hand, will need you to mix other skill as well. The game is really short, again, just like Rirustia but loaded with quality images.

There are two skills that's basically overpowered in here, one of them is "Protection" raising your DEF and MDEF by alot, making enemy hits feels like a tickle, though not for later bosses, Protection is also makes you unable being restrained, pretty damn useful especially in a game where the enemies can 100% restraint you. The other skill is double-action, kinda self-explanatory on why its overpowered.

The game also features the battle-h where in battle, the enemies can grab mc and rip her clothes then proceed to H, there's only a few enemy variants though but it's fine for me.

No grinding needed as long as you keep clearing the whole room in every area, grabbing items as you need to save you backtracking to rest area or just to sell them for more money, ah yeah, money is a little bit tight in this game, you won't be able to max out your equipment if you don't do some grinds. But this doesn't mean you can skip enemies.

At the final area of the game, you'll be facing a boss where if you don't have double-action skill, you're pretty much fucked and must grind level until you have it, it's kinda unfair but, again, you don't need to grind for anything as long as you keep clearing out every map.

Hscenes, ah yes, the one that really motivates me to translate the game, SUPERB quality, all of them is rape, ending with mind break, some of them really emphasise the mc's despairity, which is what I'm after for.

This game got 3* for gameplay, 5* for the other thing (Hscenes lol)
