Others - Completed - Netoria Tactics: Revolution [Carwyn Triumphant Update] [Apollo Seven]

If you're a fan of intricate gameplay, especially in the vein of titles like Fire Emblem, and have an appreciation for eroge elements, then this game might just catch your attention. The game showcases commendable artwork that adds to its allure. Interestingly, the tactics embedded within, while perhaps a tad detailed for a typical eroge, set this game apart, offering players a distinctive experience that they might not find elsewhere. If you find yourself intrigued by such a blend, I'd recommend giving it a shot. From a narrative standpoint, the game holds its own with a satisfactory script. A minor caveat would be the controls, which can be a bit unconventional and might require some adaptation, but it's a small hurdle in the grand scheme of the overall experience.

My review contains some spoilers: I just want to just hammer one aspect as there are almost 40 reviews that tend to state the same thing. What I want to review in-detail is the story.

While it's a NTR game, this game has one of the better depictions of a pair who want to be together but, due to who they truly are and their individual fears/desires, it isn't possible for their relationship to work out and, therefore, they will naturally drift apart. This just has a couple of other actors involved to speed up the process. This is one of the few NTR games where I feel the NTR route (mainly the total whore route) is the natural progression for the couple. By this is mean, if the two had eventually become a couple, her cheating on him would be inevitable (the game proves this to be true, I'll touch on that later though).

While initially, the main male - Carwyn - is depicted as an ignoramus (towards relationships) and the main girl - Gwen - as sympathetic, as the game progresses it is revealed that Carwyn has extremely just reasoning for not accepting Gwen's advances and Gwen isn't someone to be sympathized with in the slightest. He is still insufferable due to him being an edgelord, but you are able to sympathize with him; leading to the better NTR story in this game to hit harder.

The Carwyn/Vivian aspect of the game feels more like NTR than the Carwyn/Gwen aspect. Carwyn accepts Vivian and Vivian only has eyes for Carwyn, they actually become a couple, then she eventually gets NTR'd out of his hands. Gwen was and is a whore who, even with the pure route, hops from dick to dick without regard for Carwyn's feelings.

Now, to highlight something about Gwen. I've painted her being a whore as a pure negative, but I don't think that's the case. It's refreshing to have a FemC who isn't an ignorant virgin, who is open to sex, and was fucking around before the events of the story. Her development isn't as much of "corruption story" as it is more of a revert back to norm, to who she really is as a person. Hence why her NTR story isn't the best but her story works well.

Now, this does go against what I stated, but I'm not a fan of the "pure route" inevitably having Gwen get gangbanged by the group while Carwyn goes along with it. It was being built up very well as a genuine pure route with sex scenes (a rarity in NTR games), but eventually just became another NTR route. In a funny twist, as it pertains to Carwyn/Gwen, the "pure route" is the only route with those two that feels like an actual NTR route. Even though a pure relationship feels like the unnatural progression of them as a couple, it would still have been nice to have as an ending.

Speaking of endings, one major negative is that, as confirmed by the dev notes, this game currently lacks the epilogues which, "are the real endings to the game." This game is tagged as "Complete" so I will review it as such, and as such I can say the endings are not complete.

Three other things that I want to quickly make note of:

1. The dialogue is realistic and entertaining, both the sex-text and story text. You're also not bogged down with an absurd amount of fluff during sex-text, it's great.
2. The "rest area" dialogue that you sometimes see does not match with the progression of sex scenes you've already seen. For example, you can read about Gwen giving someone a blowjob despite that character having not even made it to second base with her yet.
3. I lied, I'm going to mention one thing that isn't story related. The art for the main scenes is fantastic, I wish this art-style was used more often. It's so good, I just wish there were more scenes.

Tough one.
Good:
-good integration of the main kinks as part of the gameplay. There other porn TRPGs. But this game makes an interesting take to make it natural. E.g. the buddy system or relationship points in combat from fire emblem to groping.
-the level design is actually not without thought and well balanced. Further levels get quite challanging

Not so good:
-the game would deserve more content. It would have been better, if also more types of interaction between characters and enemies were possible beside groping, after level scenes, camp talking. Maybe more stuff will be added in the future.
-more QoL, especially adjustible difficulty. On hard difficulty the level get quite challanging making it very hard to still getting relationship points in battle, which should have been an advantage instead. So you can end up in either not progressing in level or not in relationships.

I would rate 3.5, round up to 4, because I like how the porn elements were integrated in the Fire Emblem formula

Well this is hard to rate.

As a purely hentai game?
This game is underwhelming, the art gets repeated, the ingame events while unique are kind of bad and the FMC

corruption goes from nothing happening to immediately sluts.

As a Fire Emblem clone with lewd side stuff as a bonus?
The game was fun, I finished the game not because of the lewd stuff but because of the gameplay, I recommend playing on higher difficulties if you have played a Fire Emblem game before.

Pretty much it, I am giving it 3 stars only because I really liked the gameplay aspect of it, but the eroge part of it was just underwhelming for me.

The game has a very interesting theme of some sort of rivalry, where you can defend your favourite from NTR directly, during battle. In other words, it is directly integrated into the game mechanics. Overall, the tactical component of the game is very fun and up until the middle of the game I liked it a lot. But unfortunately for me on medium difficulty it turned out in beating the babies after I leveled up the main heroine a bit and she started to annihilate everything. Overall, the game has some pretty good humor and well-written dialogues. In the game you can encounter various fetishes such as mind control, NTR, gender bender that maybe won't suit everyone's tastes, but if you play your cards right, you can go full vanilla even without any NTR.

Sadly for me, the authors kinda like to mix drama with comedy. From the start the game offers a pretty decent serious story that even has some dark fantasy vibes. The characters have personal motivations, doubts, and heartaches related to their not so rosy past, but by the middle of the game it evolves into comedy. Admittedly, I'm really not close to this kind of mix, especially when some of the characters were made to empathize with them. Thankfully, the last part of the game doesn't try too hard to sit on two chairs anymore and goes more towards comedy. But in my opinion, it would have worked much better if the author focused one thing in the beginning. I have nothing against comedies, and many jokes in this game actually funny. It just started out as something more serious, and the characters had a somewhat tragic backstory, so it didn't sit right with me.

Overall, the game is pretty good and features some interesting game mechanics that are connected to the erotic part of the game. However, I still think it's worth mentioning its main drawbacks as well. The main drawback of this game, is the very clunky interface. It is hard to blame the developer for this, as he himself complained about it, but it is still important to note it. The trouble of the engine itself, which is very old and was used to make tactical RPGs

The second drawback is the amount of art in sex scenes. Personally, its amount was not enough for me to fully enjoy them.

And the third drawback, which I would rather attribute more to subjective impressions, is the weak ending.

From the neutral, which can be classified as both negative and positive, are the companions with whom we are traveling. The author did a good job of conveying which most of them are morally corrupt scum and this fits very well into the dark fantasy category. But then again, this could be a disadvantage since there is no one else to sympathize with except our heroine and maybe a kobold.

I will give the game 4 stars, although initially I was ready to put it in one of my favorite games. This is largely due to the game's weak ending. I liked the first half much more than the second half. And while I rate the first half as a 5, I rate the second half as a 3. Still, I recommend playing this game, it's a good one.

I really enjoyed playing this, it did an excellent job of blending the NTR and the Tactics into a great game. There are a couple of flaws that I had problems with though.

Pros:
- Great corruption/ntr dialogue as Gwen slowly gets more corrupted, good corruption pacing.
- Very cool that the mechanics are tied in to the NTR. Positioning of the units and other stats/auras. Their personalities are reflected in their kits and passives. You also get mid-mission groping which I enjoyed the scenes a lot.
- Fun tactics gameplay, for a project by a small eroge dev it was quite fun and got me in the mood to go play more TRPGs.
- I quite enjoyed the artstyle and thought the scenes, sprites, and character art were all very well done.
- Although a bit tropy, I enjoyed each of the different characters.

Cons:
- As far as I can tell there is no (intended) way to catch up if you're underpowered. I screwed up and dumped all my xp into one unit then realized I needed a balanced team to proceed and was hard stuck at a level. I was screwed. I realize this is a obvious rookie mistake but I thought I'd be fine as I'm here mostly to nut and not to contemplate my tactics teambuilding too much. Any grind mechanic would be greatly appreciated. (If you want, and what I did, you can stick a unit in a 1 wide corridor where they can tank an attack, and repeatedly heal them and have them take dmg to grind levels)
- The UI is quite clunky, it was a pain to move items around and the gallery being something where you need to walk to different icons was kind of annoying.
- Some bugs, I swear Gwen's Menacing is broken (edit: may be fixed with latest patch Groping Update) and some terrain which looked impassable was passable.
- Although the dialogue is good, scenes remain fairly static.
- I wish the routes didn't split as much and more content was available in just one run.
- The story has some though put in to it, but was a bit weird and doesn't yet end very definitively (This issue should be fixed soon as I believe the dev intends to add epilogues).

But please note despite the cons this was one of the most exciting and unique games I've played in this site. Definitely worth checking out if the premise of a NTR TRPG interests you.

Review for Final Ch. C

Overall a lot better than I was expecting. Game has lots of things I liked and didn't like. Played on easy mode because I got very unlucky and all my characters missed every attack and died instantly from lifesteal skeleton mage on normal mode.

GOOD
-Game has a story mode which I'm assuming avoids combat entirely (didn't use it so cannot confirm) if you just want porn.
-Class/Specialization system is pretty cool (basically just a small stat boost)
-There's also a gallery with the option to unlock all scenes at the end.
-The writing/grammer is pretty good and the story is alright, with the exception that most characters seem to lack intelligence at very crucial moments such as letting every person trying to kill us join our team right afterwards. But if you just accept it and move on, it's not that bad
-Characters felt like different although a bit cliche, but not terrible
- the art is nice but a bit lacking in quantity
-infinite saves

BAD
-The UI and controls are pretty bad. In terms of gameplay, you have to click on your character, then to a location, then choose an action (ex: attack), then click a target, then choose which item to attack with, and you have to do this with each character. It makes sense after a while but gets tedious.
-Equipping/removing items sucks, it's a similar concept (not super hard but tedious)
-Didn't know how to hide text during sex scenes so it was basically censored.
-Also didn't know how to load a save other than closing the game and then loading.
-Pressing space during dialogue entirely skips conversation which is great for replay ability but absolutely sucks for the first playthrough
-Some of the sex scenes are just 1 or 2 images with lots of dialogue, not to mention that some scenes are repeats with different text

Just add some more CGs and button control list and the game becomes 4 stars.

Pros:
-Characters are memorable apart from "oh shes hot".
-Story "exists". The story is really jumbled and it feels as if the creator made it up as he went along, but thats fine, since it allows the characters to interact with each other.
-really good corruption and art
-unlockable gallery once you beat the game
-Fairly decent combat. It's essentially fire emblem, but with groping.

Cons:
-99% of the lewd scenes are NTR. I mean, you saw the title. You knew what you were getting into.
-The gameplay requires some time to sit down, and click, but the NSFW stuff is usually 1-2 pictures with text. It gets to the point where you eventually give up caring about combat and bumrush through it to see the corruption.
-REALLY bad UI. It's frustrating to equip items, to advance classes, to move units, etc.
-Units get "locked" into their respective NTR routes, so even if you really liked 2 different NTR storylines, too bad! If someone talked for one millisecond longer than the other guy, then the two of them suddenly go past the point of no return.
-As mentioned earlier, the story is really jumbled and uncoordinated. You get thrown around ALOT, and after a while you forget the point of the game.
-At the end of the game, you realize that the characters...really aren't worth rooting for, and that the majority of them are scummy. So, you lose a lot of personal investment and just click away to see segs.

TLDR: Tremendous potential. but never reached it due to some poor story choices, tedious UI, and underwhelming CGs. It's still good because the writing and the few CGs, but it could've been SO much more

So gave this two good goes, (in the middle of another replay) First the NTR, its a multiple viewpoint game, kinda D&Dish, shades of old top playing games like Neverwinter Nights and Baldurs gate. Move your characters around the dungeon type thing. I like those, so fun.

I don't like getting cucked in games when I am invested or immersed in a character, BUT many of these games show the FMC POV or no real connection with the Male MC. This is one of those, you are playing multiple POV and the Male MC is a turd. The FMC is a fun soon to be slutty character and others are rather good as well. Its not a game NTR haters will run screaming from ...I think. You are rather playing the Dungeon Master manipulating the party.

Graphics are good, 2d stuff. Would like more with the interactions and sex scenes are kinda basic.

Character screens are clunky and equipment purchases, using etc are kinda painful.

After I finish the complete game again I will expand my review, had to come change it as I was really irrated with the game, but the Dev was good and pointed out a few things.

Recommend never hitting the space bar (it cancels the scene playing out), and check the NTR setting, major missed content if so, but I never touched it..no idea why, but this stuff isnt really NTR like I said, you have a bunch of characters in the game, you move that MC around a bit, its not really the player.

This game feels like missed potential, honestly.

It's an average tactical game...which yeah fair enough. This is a hentai game anyway. Wasn't expecting anything spectacular here. My favorite part about this is how it ties in to the corruption mechanic. Keeping the dude away and the girl close to the bad guys is tactically sound but gets here corrupted. That's nice.

My issue is the actual h-scenes. Every game has a limited amount of resources that the developer has or chooses to devote to the project. The key is allocation. I think the allocation for this isn't so good. The main girl has 3 different bad guys to get NTR with. But they only have about 4 scenes each and the slut "epilogue" has about 3 gangbang scenes. That's 15 scenes that could have been allocated to one guy and have a proper slow NTR corruption.

Same issue with the dude I think. There's a possibility to make him into a girl. But there's also another side chick who wants to seduce him. If the side chick was axed, more scenes could have gone into corrupting the dude as well.

The game is average at most. The plot is good, the girls look good and the gameplay is good but the H-scenes are BAD. There's not much to say, the gameplay some people may not like it, personally I do. The art is really interesting.

I didn't like how the redhaired girl responds to the MC after she got "corrupted" by the other 3 males. Why? Because it seems to me that no corruption happened at all (which is just poor writing if you ask me). She still seems to be in love with the MC (which makes no sense since, again, she was CORRUPTED), so it's not really realistic nor it makes sense.

I don't reccomend the game for the H scenes but if you enjoy this type of gameplay than play it.

[Final chapter]
I would probably rate the game 4 star to leave a marge of progress, there definitely can be, but it actualy got finished AND in a reasonable time. And it's worth at least two star in that genre.

Pro:
-Hand drawed arts that give soul
-Dialog might be a bit heavy but it's well made, succeeded at making me smile a few times.
-Easy mechanics that are explained and quick to understand.
-Overall, a game that know what you're here for. He doesn't loose himself in an endless story promising much but giving few. The rythm is consistent throughout the game, there's no dead end or useless plot. He knew that to remain good, he had to be simple.

Con:
- Definitely tactical rpg is dead and for a good reason. It's tedious.
-Even if the art is good, a few more would have made wonders.
-The characters are a bit too comon to my taste. I could have been more invested if i would have been more emotionnaly invested in the characters.

Final word: It's definitely worth a try for anyone.

Except for the one card based game, I've really liked everything Apollo Seven has posted on here. I enjoyed the choices, combat, artwork, and characters in this one and played the current content all the way through 3 times, trying out different story paths (transformation/no transformation, slutification/no slutification, etc.).
For me, the only aspect that I feel could be improved is the inventory. It is a little cumbersome when trying to discern what a weapon, magical effect, or benefit/detriment an object in the inventory/store will have.

Shaping up to be one of the best NTR games and stories I've ever experienced! The combat and gameplay are fun, and the way the NTR scenes are up to the players choice is done with exemplary care. Might be a little buggy, and it could be a little more hand-on about which route the player is currently on, but it's still and easy rec to any NTR fan. GL, Apollo Seven with all your future projects!

Great game, love the corruption of the MCs and also the gameplay which is fun, finished the whole game (ch5 rn) in one setting and i'm feeling kinda empty.
One thing tho is i didn't get some scenes that are in screenshots while i allowed maximum groping to be done in battles, i guess the story is branched or smtg.
But anyway i loved the game, everything about is good,also it can be played with just a mouse which is huge plus.

Probably my favorite game on this website so far. The biggest thing I like about it is that it involves actual tactics. Using the FE genre as it's gameplay. Now I've not played FE much but I really dig the simplicity of it. The rock paper scissors of it.

The combat is fun, each unit has a strength and a weakness. Use the other to cover for them. What makes this simple concept fun is how the ntr is implemented with it. The female main crush has the ability to buff other units that are just standing near her. However, they will take this time to harass her based off random chance, which can be upgraded with items. You can seperate them but it can lead to things being harder than they need to be.

The ntr can be avoided, which is cool. There's also several relationships that can be started with each character. Things get more complicated as time goes on.

TLDR: Great game for those who like pacing and the FE genre.

I'm a fan of NTR and FE type games.

That being said, the pacing is just way too slow. If you're in it for fairly good gameplay and story, you'll enjoy it more than me.

The pacing of when erotic scenes pop up are way too slow. Personally, just not why I'm here.

For the amount of time spent battling and reading the story, you're getting barely any erotic scenes.

Great project but I dropped it.

A really cool concept with some solid writing and narrative but the gameplay itself is only passable imo, and despite some excellent quality artwork the porn itself is pretty lackluster.
4 stars for a really novel and interesting concept and good writing and narrative but knocked down a bit because the porn just isn't that arousing imo
recommend for NTR fans and people looking for something different than the standard fare on this site

The design of this game feels so odd and counter intuitive, it may be hard to understand for newbies, and the game doesnt include porn animation, it's okay but there's just too much text and has barely sexual content

Great game that combines all the fun of a traditional tactics game with elements of balancing NTR versus difficulty in fights. The games that allow you to choose how much (if any NTR) content you want, plus has actual consequences for pursuing/not, are the best.
