HTML - Masters of Raana [v0.8.3.3 Tier4+] [GrimDark]

Masters of Raana completely changed the way I viewed html-games.

It offers many of hours of gameplay with deep slave management systems and a fantastic world lore that keeps you engaged.

Another great experience is the empire building part. You start from scratch with a rundown house that you can upgrade and expand through investments and conquest.

The ABSOLUTELY best experience, imho, is all the beautiful girls. There are literary hundreds of unique babes that you can do anything to like seduce, sex, bondage, take out for dinners, play games or train into professors, fighters, sex slaves or just good friends.

I'd advice anyone to at least try this game. It's free!

*Eeh shoulders shrug*
-For a game that has slavery as core gameplay , the slave trainer is more like slaver pamper. you can't just brute force or mind break slave alone if you want them to do thing other than being a cum dump for you. If you want them to work aka exploiting them. you have to make them happy.
Which is kinda half defeat the purpose of having slave ?? Imagine some slave in colonoial america refuse to go to cotton field because they ain't happy and the master was like " welp no cotton for me today" even a simple task like house maid require them to be happy.

New player would have a hard time because :
-guide is writtten for someone with moderate game knowledge. guide explicitly said oh do bondage, that's the best way to reduce willpower. okay but what option in bondage does what ? Should I jsut smack, slap or whip them ? what about bondage fuck what effect does it have ?
this kind of guide is like "the fastest way to get rich is to have lot of money which is easy you just buy stock" ok... which stock then?
-This furthur compound by lack of feedback in early game due to you having too low skill to pass dice roll. so you would have no idea if you're on the right track or not other than just spent irl half a day grinding through it to figure out your self
----
- fuck openworld, the only real viable choice is to do warrior-esque type start, you can literally scroll through discord and this forum and you will see 99% of people just start that way because it's the only way to make real money early game.
You wanna start as professor earning the living by teaching ? nope grind stat first even thou you build your mc in char creation to specifically this way because the starting stat aren't enough.
You wanna craft ? feel free to smash that click to a meager return compare to warrior-equse activity.
- a lot of activity option lack explanation not even some description clue. eg hunting, you have 3 weapons of choice and 3 choices on how you approach the hunt and that's it. choose now no I don't have anything else to tell you jsut choose. or you can go to wiki to read which choices is best for what size of games and weather. JUST ADD THAT EXPLANATION IN TO THE GAME.
-Game is heavily lean toward combat to the point of making other aspect or mechanic seem to be just fill-in to tick the tags.

it's frustated me reading one of the review saying " This is what Jack-O-Nine-tail should've been but failed" when Jack goes alot more in-depth on slave traning than this game, apple and orange I guess.

It's like I'm playing glorify(in a lewd way) Pokemon game. you catch em you train them and make them your fighting team.
Don't get me wrong. it's impressive for what the dev can do with html game. the experience of playing just ins't all the way there.

Game is addictive very well made sandbox game with many diffirent job option, it isnt balanced yet but it got promises. it would be much better to use game engines which support modification but still ok

This is probably the best i've played so far, it's not huge in terms of fapping material and there are no animations, but everything except that is good.
The game mechanics are rich and deeply structured and there's a lot of things that keeps you playing besides the lewd content.
-1 star because the non-supporter limitations are too harsh, entire questlines denied because you are not a paying customer plus playing versions that are almost 1 month behind feels like a bit too much.

I've been keeping an eye on this game ever since it first launched on F95. I'm a sucker for fully fleshed out girls, trainer like games with complex and interesting gameplay mechanisms. Moreover each girl is uniqe with her own storyline, background, scenes etc. Looking forward to future updates! Perhaps it would be lovely to see mods or girl packs. Keep up the good job!

it is a great game let me tell you. thanks for the hard work and everyone who worked on it. it's really rare to see a game with a sex mechanic it can make really get into it like the relationship with girls it differs i mean i really like that i do not know about you guys but i love that. other thing that great is that you can upgrade the house craft armor and weapons and some other stuff as well i meant there is a lot of stuff, I'm sorry if i did not mention something important. what's annoying to me is when i read books it a slow process and i feel like he has to shower a lot if a girl does not scrub you or the shower is not upgraded. on the other hand, there is a system where you can choose your Houshold allowance and meals i don't know what the allowance does beside from the even that one of the girls buys from the market. other thing is that you can allow all of your household have certain job to do like cooking or dancer or cleaner and so on and they have skill system you can train them you can whore them as well. it really a great roleplay game, i hope it gets finished real soon devs hint hint . ohh yeah almost forgot you can study at university or become a teacher if you have the required skills. what i hope is the dev can add femboy or Futa. that's it I'm sure there is a lot i did not mention but i don't want spoil anything from the story you have to try it. sorry if my review is not that good my English is my second language (add futa femboy)please .

Great game, superb Rpg/management elements that give room to lots of freedom and creativity in terms of gameplay, excellent writing too, both humorous and serious when it needs to be,
I also appreciate the diverse girls models and various scenes.
Can't wait to see more of this game.

Masters of Raana is a great game that I've very much enjoyed playing for the past two months. I've probably logged over 40 hours so far and still feel there's lots of content left to explore.

The freedom, the highly detailed skill system, an awesome combat engine, for a HTML game, and the BEAUTIFUL girls create a perfect blend for an old Skyrim modder and FreeCities player as myself.

Grimdark recently added procedurally generated slaves which has taken this game to a completely new level. This delightful addition has unfortunately uncovered the game's greatest, and only real, flaw: there is not enough room to house them all. While 20 slots might seem a lot, the detailed stories of each slave you can capture or buy makes you want to keep them. Praise the gods Grim is adding more housing units in the next big update.

Immerse yourself in an evolving open world! This game flawlessly intertwines captivating storytelling, RPG mechanics, and an unparalleled sense of freedom. Explore a dynamic, living world where every interaction is meaningful and every decision shapes your fate. The attention to detail is extraordinary; from the diverse landscapes to the intricate character development, it's a masterpiece of immersion. The RPG elements are finely crafted, allowing you to craft a unique journey with consequences that echo throughout the game. In this expansive universe, you're not just a player; you're a hero, crafting your epic saga. Get ready to lose yourself in the ultimate open-world adventure!

This is already one of my favourite games of all time, and I've been gaming since the days of arcade Space Invaders.
A complex RPG and management/strategy that satisfies my 'nerdy' tendencies as well as my 'pervy' ones. It does require some imagination as it isn't a 3D open world animated game that shows everything you do, however I feel the quality of writing, the renders, the various storylines and complexity of the game more than makes up for this.

This game is just boring, the whole design of it feels like some computer camp project by someone just learning game design. Has that 90's basic computer game feeling.
The overall master/slave story isn't to bad, but the design of overall is just so poor and grindy it just becomes irritating.

Other than walking around the map, or fighting in a battle there are no other animations in the whole game, what fun is that. The interactions with slaves has no animations and what is supposed to be sex is just one or two static pictures.

Scrap this junk and start out with a much better overall modern animated design if the dev is capable of doing so.

OMG this game is just so boring.

[As of v0.8.2.1]

First the bad:
I'll start off by saying that everything in the game is reliant on RNG (some pseudo form of it anyway), and it really doesn't need to be.

It doesn't need to be because all outcomes are pre-set binary. If you have the right number of attribute points assigned to the skill (around 70), it will end up as "success" 100% of the time. Likewise, if you're a few points short, it will end up as failure, period. You can save-scum until you are blue in the face and nothing will change.

And here in lies the whole problem with the game and why everyone says it's so grindy.

Because of this system, and since in the beginning you start with almost no skills, every single thing you do (outside of the simple combat) will end up as failure - always. You need to grind for days (in-game) before your attributes are high enough. If that wasn't enough, a second layer of difficulty delays your growth: intelligence.
If your intelligence is not at least 70 (which at the start it's not), you only get a minimum amounts of growth points. The less points you get, the longer it will take to reach high enough in other areas.
Ergo, from the start your path is already set: Intelligence. Don't even bother with anything else.

And now the good and I'll keep it simple:
I don't think I ever had as much fun or was invested as much in an adult game as I am with this one. It's seriously addicting. Everything from the lore and bits of story to the handling of mature subjects. The power play and BDSM is exceptionally good and is actually taken seriously this time around.

It's still early in development (even though it has a great deal of content) so I only have high hopes for this one.
The dev only needs to balance that RNG, remove intelligence stat (just remove it) and most of the grinding will be dealt with.

I'm giving this one 5 stars despite the bad above. Plenty adult content with awesome handling of it, good renders with girls that have believable proportions, the writing is proper English and I just had a ton of fun playing it.
In a weird way the game reminds me of The Gorean Saga books.

Keep up the good work dev.

Superb gameplay design, immersive world building, and top notch writing. Been enjoying the game so far, and I like how the female characters are realistically proportioned (rather than the crazy body shapes like most other games here).

one of the best erotic HTML games. With character creation and a degree of freedom, the whole game is very ambitious in creating some kind of society that could be shaped by the player in the future.
Updates are released periodically every month; sometimes they are big updates, sometimes small changes.

Some miscellaneous game issues:
-You have to grind way too much sometimes.
-Negative attributes of slave girls will often make you regret buying them...and if possible to remove them, you will have to vomit blood to remove them...

I really enjoy the sex minigame, you have to whip em, and slap em, but make sure they don't pass out, pet em and pat em so they like you better
and of course the story.. the combat is a bit simplyfied, get the best gun, and shoot, it's turn based

An interesting and fairly ambitious game that actually manages to deliver a solid and enjoyable experience.

The UI and navigation menus are intuitive and easy to use although take some time to explore, it's design is pretty intricate. The visuals are good, and while the render count may not be huge each scene is well portrayed and accompanied by well-written text and dialogue with interactive choices. And the game world itself is interesting with expanding lore and various activities such as quests, business and party management, combat encounters, and many more including of course slave trade and training with extended options, all of which are pretty well implemented and executed.

Overall this is a very well-made slave trainer open-world sim game with a solid gameplay foundation and visual presentation. The biggest downside to this game at the moment though is that it's still in the middle of development and the content and game mechanics are slowly getting implemented and improved so it's going to take a while for this to be in a near finished state.

Easily the best Html game ever. It is like a cross between a jrpg, trainer type game and economy management simulator. And I must say it is phenomenal. Just read the description in the spoiler tab of the OP. If you aren't sold on that idea then idk what to tell ya brother

You are this dude in a sci fi world. You pick your character sheet, stats charisma all of that we are talking fallout level stuff here hells yes. although I made a melee build, max strength melee buff etc etc. BUT melee is completely useless. The best melee weapon the sword can deal 13 dmaage while a weapon (you get many) is able to deal 30+ from very early on. Melee is broken, dont pick it. Focus on range. But who cares about combat really?

Todays subject: Slavery. The sex elements of the game come from you enslaving women. You can find them while exploring, or buy them. And all the slaves you find will have their own backgrounds, willpower etc. submissive or dominant? Sadistic or masochistic? All of these are options for your slaves. BRILLIANT. Then you can decide what to do with them, send them to work at a library, send them for prostituting or just have them be a nanny or maid. Incredible stuff here.

Problems though. Again melee is useless. there is no respeccing so im screwed and will have to redo my build. A shame.

You get to choose your build, stocky big penis? Sounds great, problem is that there is no real benefit to a big penis. Women hate it, it is painful and arousal goes down. The women get sad after it. In my head im thinking mindbreak type stuff but that doesnt happen sadly. Instead you slowly grind away at the girls willpower by being nice or really mean.

Sadly though, you cant go full on abuse level mean with your slaves. THEYRE SLAVES. Helloooo why cant I abuse my slaves isnt that the whole point? so this 18 yo, 40 kg girl says: "no daddy im not feeling it today" And my 7ft 100kg muscle dude just has to accept this because oh no the girl has 21 willpower. Doesnt make sense. You need to be able to go full on abuse mode on the slaves, just saying.

Another issue: the renders. The male actor doesnt correspond to your character. Also in some renders the male is bald old guy then all of a sudden he has hair. It is a bit unfortunate. The sex scenes visually are quite weak. Hopefully improved some time in the future. But thankfully, the trainer aspect and the RPG aspect of breaking slaves works great what the game lacks in visuals, it makes up for in the interactivity of the world.

Also some people might be put off by the fact that this is a sandbox but personally as a CRPG enjoyer this wasnt a problem. Though one issue ive had is that I havent found the mission journal, so I cant see the quests im supposed to do. Anyways despite all that it is a great game. Not just in terms of the sex content but in general it is really good.

This is the best HTML game I've ever played.

The game begins with character creation, similar to games like Skyrim. There is a main story to follow, or you can simply enjoy the game with various activities (sandbox style). You can either be a good or bad person and gradually build your family. Your family will be your companions and slaves.

This game's writing and story are above average. It's so good that the entire game comes to life.

The atmosphere is, in my opinion, one of the game's strongest points. It feels good to fight with your pals, follow the story, engage in activities to earn money and items, or expand your home. The battle feature is very well done by the way.

Some may be disappointed if they play this game solely for the sexy content because it contains average-quality renders but with good angles. On the other hand, the game doesn't require high-quality renders or animations because it has a very well-written story that will keep you interested until the end.

First, this is a great game already and the coming developments look like they will continue to improve it.

A few issues:
1. Very very grindy. While some things (like breaking a slave) feel about right others (like upping your stats) have a low success chance and a slow rate even when they do succeed.
2. The art is minimal, missing for a few characters entirely, and has a lot of errors (I put a ring gag on my slave and it disappears when I go to deepthroat her - what do you think I put the gag on FOR?!).
3. Absent the wiki or trying a huge number of random things (most of which do very little) you'll NEVER find all the quests, and there's no log I can see of what quests you've completed in a given run through.

That said the gameplay is generally good and a true sandbox. You can explore numerous different aspects of the world and there is no single path to success. The development of the girls is fun and the control you have during sex heavily compensates for the minimal artwork.

Four stars, and could become five as things go on.

You can tell that this dev is a video game developer and not a writer. The writing here feels like a video game, not up to par with most of the visual novels on this site. The sex is boring and rote, and even though there are many characters your interactions with them are all very similar. The dialogue is expository, you get the sense that it just wants to show the quest story, and you don't get to know each character as an individual. So in the end doing each quest is just "doing this slave quest" instead of helping someone you care about.

Most of the stuff you're spending your time doing in the game is very repetitive and formulaic and doesn't feel creative nor strike any special interest. The lore is also weak compared to most of the other VNs on the site.

That being said it's a good and competently developed framework for what could be a fun RPG/management experience if only the actual content of the game could match. There's a sincere variety to the mechanics and systems in the game, and with a few misses most of them work together well. You can tell that a huge amount of dev energy was spent on creating these systems and if that's what you're looking for and you're okay with bare-bones character writing then this game is for you.
