HTML - Masters of Raana [v0.8.4.6] [GrimDark]

I have played and supported this game since year 2 you always find new things, Yes it is hard to play at beginning it plays like life you start with little have to get cash any way you can beg steal maybe kill. But if you make it is good. Great discord community that's willing to help with anything even the creator answers help questions bugs are fixed days or hours not next update or a week or so

There are very few games that scratch the itch of being a character in a cruel and merciless game where you have to fight to live another day while also being a power fantasy where you are a badass and have an input on the world.

This game achieves that for me and after SlaveMaker 3, its the only game I have played with multiple playthrough. The mechanics are a bit grindy but nothing visit to save editor fairy or html editing cannot fix. The world building is good with your player having multiple actionable goals which include expanding businesses, doing a soft revolution, learning about weird magic not magic occult system. Hell, u can basically play the game as a minor lecturer in academy. The dev have also promised a crime family system so looking forward to that.

The updates are continuous, like once every month at regular frequency. The harem is continuously expanding with new girls. Overall, its a great game and I strongly recommend if you are that type of player who is burnt out by visual novels and want to feel more agency as you pillage, rape and burn

I've really enjoyed playing Masters of Raana. The game's depth offers something that few other adult games do and I've invested countless hours into forming my own great house and harem. It feels VERY complete even if it's still in Alpha.

--ART--
Really hot. Some renders are still placeholders but most girls have around 100 (!!) individual scenes so you can really explore every part of her body if you want to. Lots of clothes and accessories to chose from.

--SOUND--
What really pulled me in. The score and ambience are breathtaking and very varied. Haunting music plays when you explore caves and catacombs and somber tunes engulf you when exploring the cities.

--LORE & SETTING--
Also another factor where this great game shines. There is so much to explore that I still feel I've only scratched the surface. I won't go into details about the setting as you can read that in the OP but there are more things going on than what the game's premises tell you. Very exciting.

--RGP-ELEMENTS (THE "GRIND")--
It's a pretty hard game especially if you pick any difficulty level above Sandbox. I love this but give the traits and stats some attention when creating your character.

This game basicaly mix of DnD, Crusader Kings 2 and Sex Slave Trainer in Sci Fi Setiing, and which is actully very good in it own way.
Game very unique, and I would say it even started it own genre. So far very few games who have similiar gameplay and similiar mechanics.
Now what I meant about mixing all these genre. Even though it started as Slave Trainer game, it prety quickly devoloped into much more. At firts there were added RPG DnD mechanics, which allow players customize their MC, and customize and develop their slaves in way they want training their unique stats and trait. Aside from slaves games have other non slave NPC, prety decent battle mechanic which is turn based, and alot of quests.
From CK2 it basicaly inspired Political Events, and Religion and other elements which allow player Empire Building.
So yeah Players can gain titles, and even run their Buisness Empire.

On top of all that game have very regular updates. Dev seem workaholic in good way, unlike most devs who make excuses why they didnt make any updates in months, he make update every month adding new mechanics, new quests, new NPC.


Dev seem also good writer, because his worldbuilding is very decent and precise where even Planets build in way so it had scientificaly accurate properties. Seting also unqiue, Planet have misteries: Hive Minds, Alliens, Ancient Civilisation, Stargates, Mutants, AI, Zombies and other tasty Sci Fi stuff. All that never revealed fully but always keep players guesing how it all conected. Dev created world which interisting to discover and mysteries which make players engage when they arent busy already by building their empire or fucking beautifull girls.))

As if all that wasnt enough dev also have long term plans, planing second part of game, and even ability later transfer saves which whole project give Baldur Gate1 and Baldur Gate 2 games vibes.
In general despite game already great and already have lot of great mechanic and sexual content dev plans show it only beging of long road and future promise even more mechanics, more empire building , more strategy elements, more interisting location to visit and more mysteries to discover.
So long engaging journey await of fans of these series.
Definatly recomand this Masterpiece.

Simulator of misses and training.

Some content available only for payable players so if you like that attitude it won't be a problem.

Tutorial is awful you won't understand how to play this game. Only basic functions in ui nothing more. The best friend of yours' wiki but it also doesn't fully explains many aspects of game. Many pages are still empty after so many years.

The first battle with your "bro" against bandits is 2vs3 where your enemies never miss their hits while you can't even make one hit with 40+ weapon skill. Someone wrote in his review that only with 90+ lvl of many skills you have chance against enemies.
And after you spend a lot of time and money on leveling your char you
still fight worse then ordinary bandit or your fresh hired pal with the same equipment. Either it's a harsh random or it's all set up that way i don't know.

To avoid many hrs of meaningless training and earning money for it you should get 360 points from payable version of game.
After training you character you should train your slaves every day for 0-3 points of one attribute.
This is the main gameplay, enjoy it.

You'll get casino slots gameplay where one time you hit for 1 hp and hit full hp in another. If you don't miss it ofc But mostly it's a very weak strikes.
So save scumming is a rightful mechanic of this game.

Your character in love scenes will be default bold old man even if you chose 18 year old lad. Poor looking rendered scenes mixed with fascinating clean ai generated pics looks strange and out of the general picture. You don't believe in that world.

It's a poorly made game with a lot of grinding by greedy devops.

Ok, an essential premise: I cheated on this game, badly, giving myself top everything from the start. I've this theory that if a game has no interesting content, putting aside the grinding, than it is not worthy to grind for.

Well, this game has very good content..
If I had to grind to reach that level, I'd quit, and it would have been a shame, because the game in itself is crazily good.
It has everything: large amount of lore, content, quests related to the unique slaves you can acquire in market or related to specific places, a decent combat system, mistery, a great UI, good graphic for the the slaves.

Probably one of the best games around for people who love free roaming/sandbox. And not only in the html section.

A true gem... BUT... this if you start with crazy high stats and money. If you start with the measly 280 points in character creation, I've no doubt that it can be a grinding nightmare.

So, this is one of those rare cases where the grinding is NOT the content, but blocks the content. (HINT to the dev: be way more generous with character creation points).

Aside that explained above, the game has just a tiny bit problem for a game on this site: the sex content is not always such a turn on. The graphic, as I said, is good, there are a lot of ways to interact with slaves, but it just misses that 'magic' that makes a situation hot.

But I tell you, I've played it for hours and I'm still playing it just for the lore and the quests, more than for the images of the naked slaves.

A sandbox that mistakes grinding for depth. Every stat is basically useless unless it's really high and every stat raises incredibly slowly(when there's a way to consistently raise them at all).

The slaves all use modular, generic dialogue and scenes so there's nothing setting them apart besides numbers. Their responses are based almost entirely on skill check dice rolls, so they can go from accepting to horrified and back within the span of 3 text boxes, end the interaction on a positive note and then be mad at you for it.

Most actions are limited by stamina which drains incredibly quickly and only recovers about half when you sleep because I guess the other half of your stamina bar is just imaginary, or something? You can train it higher but you're still gonna need 2 days to recover from a day of work. Speaking of work, for most of the game anything that isn't beating the shit out of random people in an alley and enslaving them pays jack all.

There's potential here but as is it's mostly just a number-go-up simulator.

For an html porn game, Masters of Raana is surprisingly good. There's a good amount of quest and stuff to do that you can absolutely just ignore most of the porn stuff (most, not all, because you have to empty your ballsack pretty often)

- Some features that caught my attention:
1. Character customization. It offers you enough choices that you can keep replaying the game with different build each time (although, I ended up always doing the solo melee walkthrough)
2. Many content. Like I said earlier, there's a ton of content that will probably make you addicted to it. There's slave capturing and shaping (the game's main focus), investment mechanic, bounty hunting, crafting, etc
3. Pretty high quality CGs. Although I mostly play the game for the lore and gameplay, the CGs are objectively high quality.

- Bad things that should be optimized in the future:
1. Unbalanced. It's very hard to make decent money in the early game if you didn't have certain build (especially for pacifist and business man walkthrough). The late game money making is just... easy. Too easy.
2. Grinding fest. If you picked some unoptimized trait and waste your stat points, your first quarter of the game is just grinding for stats.

Ovarall, this is one of the best html games I've ever played. Hope the dev optimized the early game walkthrough, though!

One of the few games on this site, that feel complete with game play and H elements. Now this is probably not lore friendly, but I really wish one day a female protagonist could be added to this game or the next similar game. Maybe in a game or expansion called "Mistress of Raana"

A mix of adventure game and slave trainer. You acquire a manor and can recruit/enslave/train party members and your household. There's a lot of dynamic interactions based on personality stats that are adjust via training, though it's a lot of grinding and number work to try to get certain stats, you're probably better off save editing if you have a particular npc goal.

There's multiple named npcs that have their own rendered scenes and outfits, most of whom all have some special quest to unlock new upgrades. Interactions will vary on how you treat npcs (cruel/kind, love/fear etc.).

Has turn-based party combat, quests, levels/stats, and basebuilding. I had fun with it, although I didn't feel it had much replay value for me. Your protagonist is fairly static and there's a fair bit of initial grind, which weighed on the replay value for me.

Gameplay is great, with notably good storyline and image sets, this quickly became of my favorite game on the site. I am looking forward to upcoming updates and new features or storyline additions.
Renders are good and their quality makes up for it not being a animated scene, and unique NPC backstories certainly add up to the rating of game. If anything, I would love to see few more renders with possibly new poses or angles.

Version: 0.8.3.6d
I will start by saying, that this game seems to be meant to be played for very long in-game time (years) to achieve anything. Sure you can get sex scenes without problems, but any training or getting money for buying/upgrading will take majority of your time if you don't want to cheat.

Everything in this game is decided by damn dice and for training odds of success can vary from 1% to around 15%. So imagine scenario where you have 10 girls and want to train their discipline to increase it by 50 points... That means you have to roll that 15% or less, 50 times for each girl. Which will take literal years.

Making money is sorta easy if you can capture some slaves and sell them in auction house (crystal or watery). That should let you make enough money to start your workshop which is real money maker. Don't waste cash on investing in stuff. It will take years to return your investment.

My biggest disappointment was that very first girl that you can capture doesn't even have her backstory completed (Mae), just some gibberish after first page. And one other girl missing...I think missionary? scenes. Plus all scenes are more or less the same for your household girls.

If you can get past mentioned things then you will get serviceable game. Renders are nice, managing slaves can be fun if a bit frustrating with all low odds rng going on. There is some story and quests to do, but time spent on those in not comparable to time spent grinding money/training slaves.

Overall I like the game, but hate low odds rng.

The best sandbox game I've seen on here so far. There is a lot to do and the dev regularly releases new updates with a good amount of new content. The dev also put a lot of thought into the world building and as a result we get a original dystopian world setting.
It's definitly a little overwhelming for new players but there is a Wiki and Discord channel where you can find help easily. I'd recommend to just start playing and not trying to minmax too much. Just go at your own pace and enjoy the game. You can do whatever you want (it's a sandbox after all). The only downside to this game is that the grind for money can become a little repetitive in the later stages of the game, but it's really not too bad if you have invested in a workshop and scavengers.
Easily 5 out of 5 stars from me for the amount of content, freedom of choice, constant updates, world building and hot renders.

A wonderful game that I keep coming back to over and over. Each new update fills it with enough content to keep my occupied for days.

Gorgeous girls, interesting lore, great quests and a very active dev. An easy five stars.

I wouldn't call the grind a bad thing as other reviewers state. It's there for a purpose and it gives a sense of fulfillment. It should take time and investment before you're able to storm the palace and overthrow Ikaanos governor.

It's also surprisingly advanced and runs stable for being in the html format. Porting this game from html over to a 3D environment would make it an epic AAA-title. Fingers crossed that will happen one day.

Final verdict:

ART: 5/5.
MUSIC&SOUND: 4/5.
STORY: 5/5.
FAP VALUE: 5/5.

There's a fair amount of content, though some would claim that it's fairly repetitive. I would agree in the sense that there is a fair amount of grind in this game, but I personally believe it is an entertaining grind. Good models with decent variety, and the story is intriguing so far. Four out of Five recommended.

A good game at first but getting really repetitive at some point.

Unbalanced economic system, the only thing worth doing is selling prisoners you capture fighting, even with the saturated market.

Using dices in everything is cool but here they kill the replayability and roleplaying, and promote save scumming.

I feel it is a game with so many things but lacks harmony & story driven.

Most of the girls in MC harem are used sex toy by other mens which is really a turn off for most players.So, if you dont mind we add sluts, whore, ex sex slaves, then this is the game for you.

alright game if you are bored & dont have anything else to do

I've played this one alot over the last couple years, its worth a proper review!

Its a great sandbox scifi RPG with lots of strengths and variety and a deep story with many characters with quests and intricate backgrounds. You do what you want to; its possible to just like get one slave be happy or to try to do everything. You can fight, teach, hunt, improve/sell slaves, build industries, take over factions, etc.

The dev is amazing and seems to be perpetually working on this 12 hours a day minimum, which is nice! And available on Discord etc.

Like any game there are are a few weaker points but I cant rate it any less than five stars. Room for improvement: Bit too grindy, as the dev wants you to to realllly work for it to perfectly train slaves or afford nice stuff. So prepare to play a lot! Bit too many characters, you end up not remembering every girls' story. The negatives basically revolve around 'grind too much' often. Some interactions might also feel generic sometimes but that keeps getting better. There's also Bud. A weird NPC you dont actually need to interact with who wants way too much of your time if you do. Find a creative way to kill him or wipe his mind, there's sci-fi drugs for that

But play it! If I rate it 5 stars despite a few little flaws, its because its something quite special, I swear. You would not normally expect that of a HTML game!

This is a pretty cool game. There's a lot of mechanics which made it a bit overwhelming at the start but it didn't take too long to get a grasp of the basics. The best part of the gameplay is that there's a lot of things to do and lots of ways to make money or progress. There's parts of the game that aren't fully fleshed out but that's to be expected for a game in development. There's a decent amount of content though and you can definitely invest a lot of hours into this game.

Honestly I don't even care about the porn at this point I'm just playing to play.

I really enjoy the game; it offers a lot of freedom within its world and the activities available. However, I sometimes find it can become monotonous when you’re repeating the same actions over and over. I hope future updates will introduce more interesting activities and things to do to help break up the routine. It can also be a giant time sink.

Master of Raana is a game that immerses players in a world filled with rich lore and captivating characters. With its sandbox-style gameplay, players are free to explore at their own pace, uncovering hidden secrets and intricate plots.

The game's storytelling is very good. The narrative is engaging and full of lore and "flavors", keeping players very immersed. The characters are well-developed and memorable, each with their own unique personalities and motivations. The developers have done a fantastic job of creating a world that feels believable and lived-in.

The sandbox nature of the game offers possibilities for experimentation. Players can choose their own path, whether it's following the main questline or venturing off to discover side missions. The world is vast and diverse, though a bit WIP.

Overall, Master of Raana is for fans of immersive RPGs. It has captivating lore, memorable quests, and sandbox gameplay, it offers a truly unforgettable gaming experience, which I wasted a lot of my time on.
