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

Hi, I am brazilian. So my review can have a poor english.

Here in my country, there's a saying (I don't know if the US or any other country has a similar saying), but here it's: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." In other words, having good intentions or putting in the effort doesn't necessarily mean doing the right thing or doing something well.

In this game, I saw a lot of effort and dedication, but all of it was bad.

Regarding gameplay, it's a bit unbalanced. It's very difficult at the beginning, and towards the end, it got very easy. It could be more balanced, especially since tactical RPGs tend to start easy and get harder as the chapters progress.

I found the menu to be very poorly designed, especially when you're in the "base." There are a lot of useless items in the shops, little money is earned, and there's a lack of more interesting items. Information about relationships and corruption is very hidden and unintuitive, such as easier ways and what to do specifically to increase affection between X and Y.

CGs are well-made. But the characters have the same facial expressions in normal dialogue (those with the standard static image of the character with their lines underneath). For example, the female protagonist is always laughing, or the male protagonist is always serious. Where are the changes in facial expression?

Now, story and plot. Unfortunately, this is the biggest negative, but by far. Well, let's go:
- I feel like there is no central/main story. Or maybe it does, but it's not made clear, or I must have severe ADHD. It feels like a mix of something empty and too much freedom, leaving room for anything to happen, escaping the story's control.
- The plot is even more messy; things just happen "because yes, that's it.." Then something happens that's part of the "main story" (is there one?), and then random things start happening again.
- The conversations between characters are barely interesting or not at all interesting. Their backgrounds, motivations, how they interact with each other, their development are very uninteresting.
- The characters' sexual corruption wasn't that bad, maybe even mediocre.
- I felt the negative charge surrounding the characters' discontent or frustration was a bit exaggerated. For example, it's as if a character didn't want to do something, and because of a single thing or a specific moment, they do it without any regret, or this "regret" is somewhat artificial. Let's list it by phases; it's as if the person was in emotional stage 1 and went straight to stage 3, skipping stage 2. And this stage jump gives us the following situation: there I am, seeing the character, there, talking to someone or thinking, then suddenly it changes to the opposite, and when it changes, you ask yourself, "But doesn't the character even question if they're doing the right thing? Because of something that happened, did they suddenly change their way of thinking and doing things?" And there's also the issue of the characters being too swayed by blackmail or difficult situations. I didn't feel any character there was mentally strong or prepared for anything. Sure, there are villains there who want to corrupt the girls, perhaps that's their only fixed intention (i.e., from beginning to end, they've set their minds to corrupt them), but otherwise, everyone there is emotionally and mentally weak. Basically, they're all low-intellect, emotionally unstable, and either "too good" or "too evil." Perhaps the only one there who isn't artificial, who is actually a real human, is the warrior whose name I forgot (one of the three considered villains). You realize that the bad things he does aren't because he's truly evil; he just makes it clear that he's influenced by emotions and that he's mentally "given up on everything." The rest of the characters are either trivial, too obvious, or a flurry of questionable behavior. In other words, there's no middle ground like the warrior. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the conversations between the characters to be able to judge their actions and what they think/feel. But the poor quality story and plot also don't help me fully engage in the dialogue.

Anyway, I could say more, clarify details of something I've said briefly, express my opinion on other things. But my review is already too long.

I brought the game on steam, i went in almost blind... Fuck man the scenes are hot, the charaters are well written but... The gameplay fucking sucks, the engine is weird and clunky... It's like Fire Emblem but worst.

Hidden andnot hidden NTR, with a Love route and all, i love when you can't hearwhat they say in camp, but the fact that you can't even know what they said sucks.

A great great game, not a 5 just because the gameplay sucks.

Also sometimes you're forced to do a specific route.
Fuck you old man.

TL;DR = Boring gameplay, stupid story, a lot of uninteresting side characters. Apart from NTR there is nothing interesting in this game.

Story: 0/5
Pros:
+ Game started out okayish. I think it was interesting in like first 30 minutes. But after that it went downhill very sharply.
Cons:
- The plot is some dumb bullshit that goes like this:
There is this super difficult dungeon that killed every single adventurer. It is a perfect trap, that will trap every single person that enters without any hope of escape. Nobody has ever left it. Nowadays no adventurers go inside, it is used as execution ground for criminals.
And here comes the MC. He has decided, that he will enter this dungeon to conquer it and become rich. "Enter, somehow conquer it, profit." Just like that, he has no plan whatsoever !!
- Also it is huge bore to play as this MC. He is such whiny, obnoxious and annoying kid. Always complaining about everything. I seriously disliked him.
- As the the game progresses it gets worse and worse.
- As the time goes on, the game introduces more and more side characters. But they all feel so empty. There is nothing interesting about these side characters. They are just low effort placeholders for NTR scenes.

Art and Sex scenes: 3/5
Pros:
+ The game is drawn in some hand drawn art. It looks okayish.
+ The game has a lot of sex scenes (but sadly they are very short).
+ Only redeeming feature about this game is NTR genre. For those who like, they might enjoy it.
Cons:
- Sex scenes are very basic and short. You will get one picture for each sex scene and few lines of text. That is all. Very lacklustre.
- Quality of images cant compare to standarts of images in 2025.

Gameplay: 0/5
Pros:
+ Game loop is centered around constant fights and occasionaly you get interupted by some small chat or short sex scenes. This gameplay was interesting in like first 30 minutes...
Cons:
- After first 30 minutes the gameplay turned into never ending grind fest.
- You keep fighting random enemies and sometimes you see a short scene, where the girl is harrased by some side character. And then you go back to fighting. Keep grinding! Grind! Grind!
- Sadly the fighting is repetitive and boring. You move your character next to enemy, click Attack and watch how enemy's HP goes down. There is no excitement here. Enemies serve only as a waste of time.
- In later parts of the game the maps get bigger and they will have a lot of enemies. It just feels like intentional waste of your time to prolong the gameplay.
- Another bad thing is the fact, that the fighting is unbalanced. Whats the problem? Level Ups of characters are random! During Level Up you can get points into almost no stats, or you can get points into almost all stats. It is random. Examples:
On one hand if you are lucky and you get bonus to all stats in few level ups in a row, then you will get very overpowered character that turns into one man army that can one shot all enemies. Thats not very entertaining.
On the other hand if you are unlucky and you wont get any stats in few level ups in a row, then you will get very weak character that will get easily killed by any weak trash mob. Your playthough will get ruined with such character and you will probably have to restart the game.
________________________________________________
To sum it up:
Apart from NTR there is nothing interesting in this game. Boring fighting, stupid story, annoying MC, unintersting side characters. I advice you to stay away from this game.

PS: Are you NTR zombie who only cares about NTR genre? Do you automatically give 5/5 to every single NTR game? Then this game was made for people like you!!! Go play it. (this was sarcasm, duh)

So this is a pretty great porn game. It's porn still, but decent gameplay, actually a pretty good story, some decent visuals, and defined characters. This is a very solid game.
But I feel like I have to be fair. It's slow at times, some cutscenes take forever and restarting chapters forces you to rewatch them. Character relations are very shallow which is normally fine in a porn game but it fails the story which is noticeably more involved. The MC and the main girl get hit with this in particular, they have a good story and some nice beats, but often times you barely see it unless you're already dedicated to that path, and parts of it just isn't discussed like some of her past, it's fine on it's own but it is a let down compared to the rest of the story and these character's proposed relationship, which does make some of the smut weaker since you don't feel the supposed betrayal and/or loyalty, depending on scene.

Maybe the best game on the site, honestly. The sex scenes are hot, the gameplay is fun, the story is good. The clunky engine is a slight issue, but the game makes up for it for sure.

It's definitely the best netorare game, though. I don't think there's a single other game that blends netorare content into gameplay this well. The way the cheating progress is based on gameplay decisions, and how those decisions are incentivized rather than just being an "I want the porn" button, is exactly what I want from netorare.

Just to explain what I mean by that, the netorare content stems from keeping your love interest nearby other male characters in combat. It can be avoided, but the protagonist gets debuffs from being nearby while she gets buffs from having people near her. It's pretty simple, but it means that optimal play organically leads to corruption. The system could be incentivized a little harder, with more buffs and debuffs, but it's still ingenious.

Started off really strong: the characters felt interesting, and the tactical combat was actually fun and felt real. But halfway through, the story started getting weird, and by the end, it just totally fell apart...

I played on Hard right away, so I let NTR happen in battles pretty often. Gwen’s corruption felt natural at first, and most events made sense—until suddenly the game decided she has a “lover” now, and everything just went off the rails:

• She’s having “fun” with the lover like the MC doesn’t even matter, right after a romantic scene with the MC.
• There’s a full cheating discussion (with penetration) before the actual cheating scene even happens.
• Scenes and dialogue overlap: sometimes we’re still together, sometimes not, at the same time.
• In the final fight, Gwen sides with the traitors, but when I win, she acts like she was on my side all along. We escape together and she says all that matters is we’re together, then the epilogue says we broke up and meet again as enemies a year later. That level of nonsense just killed any immersion and enjoyment I had.

Still, I had a lot of fun for most of the game while the NTR was happening gradually. It’s the first time I’ve loved the gameplay and mechanics, but got disappointed by the story and scenes (usually with NTR RPGs, it’s the other way around). The main problem: the branching is totally broken. Maybe others had a great experience if their scenes played in the right order, but for me it was just a mess, and I played pretty evenly without forcing events or anything. It all fell apart at the end and ruined the experience.

For most of my playtime, I thought I’d be giving this a 5-star review and calling it the gold standard. But now, honestly, I can only give 3 stars, and that’s only for the technical side. The game’s not AAA, but for an indie project in this niche, there’s nothing else like it when it comes to the NTR logic and turn-based combat—I really enjoyed that part. Probably the story mess and weird scenes are a technical issue, but the story itself isn’t great either, especially with all the useless characters that show up halfway through.

Looking forward for Netoria Tactics 2, because there’s just nothing else out there like this.

The art is strong and the branching paths and outcomes are great. Gameplay-wise, it's just so-so, honestly I skipped most of it.
Despite being marked “completed” for a while, only the recent updates make it truly feel finished.

This is the best game ive played like this, so good i went and bought it on steam even though ive already more or less done 2 play throughs already.
it does a great job of actually involving the game mechanics into the story.
the writing is good and more importantly believable.
i would say the only thing i would change is the introduction of sooo many characters. i feel like about half way through it gets kinda crowded and theres just a lot going on but its still done well.
there was also a weird moment where the wrong sprite was showing but it wasnt like a big deal or anything.

The first impression was extremely positive, I was even a bit puzzled as to why there's so little buzz around the game. As I played more it became abundantly clear why.

The very solid mechanics introduced in the first hour quickly lose relevance as they're sidelined in favor of constant cast expansion with every newcomer being significantly less interesting than the first few characters.

There will be a point at which you'll seemingly do nothing but jump from one dull combat encounter to another with nothing but mind-numbingly boring cutscenes in-between. The moment the actually interesting people like Owain and Gwen begin to open up the game will start introducing one poorly written gimmick non-character after another as if trying to artificially boost the runtime.

How the game should've been:
- bullshit characters trimmed away, cast slimmed down to Carwyn, Gwen, Owain and maybe Emrys (who should also be rewritten to be more of a dashing knight Jaime Lannister style instead of a moody incel)
- more focus on competing for Gwen instead of the weird contrived 'we're meant for each other but lemme give that guy a blowie' thing the game has
- more emphasis on the synergy of the combat and NTR/relationship mechanics and less on the completely uninteresting main narrative
- either streamline the RPG stuff or allow people to replay levels

It's in my top 5 of this site even if it's not in 3d, and has no animation , and very bad sprite. it has a lot of good ideas and a correct art style with a good identity. This game makes you want to see more

version completed Carwyn Triumphant update

the characters and story and storytelling is topnotch. characters feel alive, all conversations are just perfect, like it was written by an actual good writer.

but porn scenes are static images, and usually not even that good images at that. it all rests on the story. the images without story i would rate 1/5 or 2/5 at best, but with the great story it's still erotic. not too much text, just enough, it makes sex scenes sexy, up to a 4/5.

there are many routes, but unlocking them is a pain in the butt.

there are some very good premises but i preferred some more forced/rape focused routes or carwyn+gwen cocksleeve routes. there are some endings like that but it would have been more sexy if it was prolonged like groping during fights and they each react to seeing the other getting used.


but anyway it has groping mechanics during battle and many scenes, it starts a little slow, but fireemblem game makes it relatively interesting, but ingame battle gropes keeps up the interest so you won't get bored.


if hentai scenes were animated/better this could easily be a masterpiece game. the author certainly is a very talented writer. some routes and better graphics and he would be rich from making hentai games.


game has a handful of bugs but nothing gamebreaking, just 3-4 immersion breaking bugs and some typos later in the game.

Oh boy...
It bothers me beyond belief when I see otherwise very good games being ruined by bad game mechanics.

1) During combat it is not possible to load the game, only to save.
EXTREMELY annoying. You're forced to use ALT+F4 every time you screw up a battle and you know you can't win anymore.

2) Leveling up.
Sometimes you get +1 stat point, sometimes you get +6 and sometimes you get nothing at all. A few bad level ups and the whole character is useless. Also, leveling up is not completely random and getting at least an average lvl up can take tens of minutes and heaps of ALT+F4. It's not fun at all.

3) Ironically, the two characters in the opening image are not the main characters. Actually, the main characters are completely all characters, except for these two. Everyone else can decide if they want to start a romance with someone. But these two "main characters" do not decide anything at all. A single (often you don't even realize it) mistake is all it takes to completely ruin your game and lose many hours of progress. All because your "main characters" don't have the option to say "no".

***************************

This game has the potential to be a 5 star game.

But these bad game mechanics just dramatically bring down the experience of the game. Until the author fixes at least two of these three problems, I cannot in good conscience recommend the game.

I've seen this game get updates now and then and it never really caught my attention, I'm also mainly more into games featuring a female protagonist.

Well... One of my favourite genres is M2F transformations, one of this game's main themes.

Now the reason as to why I review this game so highly isn't because of its erotic content. While there certainly is some at this point I haven't seen most of it, but because I loved its gameplay, I'm not a huge fan of turn-based RPGs but I oftentimes do enjoy them and this game, in particular, reminded me of some on the ones I played back when flash games were popular.

I won't say much more, so as to not spoil the game, but I do recommend it and I'll personally save it as one of my favourites, maybe I'll even buy it,

I loved the gameplay... for the first half of the game that is. I played it on the standard difficulty setting and after my party leveled a little, the battles became a breeze. In the beginning, it can be challenging (but nothing too hard), later it just gets boring – battles consume time and the player doesn't feel rewarded for them. Items and new weapons seem pointless too.

The story is fine, the characters are very well-written. I didn't feel bored once with the dialogues nor skipped any of them.
The design of the characters is crazy good but the H-scenes look very mediocre in comparison. They're pretty bland.

Finishing the game I didn't feel like starting a new playthrough to see other routes. You can see recollection of other scenes after finishing the story, but I didn't check them out – my interest in the game was gone when it ended.

I want to give this game more than 3 stars, but it disappointed me in aspects I thought I'd love. It starts well, but in the later chapters becomes a drag. I just wish the gameplay was more polished and balanced in the later stages. I can still recommend it, though.

I was going to give in a 5, but nah, this game did the thing i hate in any game.
You are doing fine in what you are seeking, then ONE single thing happens that hard locks you to a route. Fuck that, especially when its hours in.

The red head got touched like 2 times each by each guy no NTR...then BAM that stupid river scene and hard locked into NTR...and i guess vivian is just bait, idk, stupid mind control nonsense.

"You just didn't play it right" nah, fuck off.

There are one or two levels that force at least one touch. If there was a way to raise loyalty with gwen idk how, the game does a shit job at explaining its stats. WTF is eroticism, WTF is lust, WTF is loyalty.

Seriously, it felt unfair, i got to the 'late game' i guess, idk. When MC is solo. I quit, the fact that one innocuous stage dictates how the rest of the game plays out is lazy and i hate it.

P.S In fairness i misread the title thinking it said netori, and screens and game description mentioning rival lovers...ya no, don't make my mistake, this is cuck shit, not where you can cuck.

2 complaints:
-The HCG feels a little too artsy. I think the character art is very good, and the HCG artwork is a downgrade from that.
-The endgame drags on too long. It's not challenging near the end, either, so it's just tedious.

And now for the good parts:
-The combat is very fun for most of the game.
-I like how many different potential routes there are, based on corruption interactions.
-The story is actually interesting. It's not just another porn game, every character has their own unique personality, and they're all amusing. This honestly kept me going until the end more than the hentai, as you can probably guess from my first complaint.
-Kobold Joe is one of the funniest side characters I have ever seen, in any videogame. Huge props to the developer for the character design in general.

strategy wise this game is solid and if you're looking for a game where characters acts like actual human beings this is probably for you none of the main characters are dumb they know what is happening and they react according to their personality

waaaaaaay to long
we got the gist. cut it short dude.
there is no need to put 30 minutes of gameplay between two slightly different scenes.
in general, most of the gameplay could've been cut out.
started off interesting, until the party got unnecessarily way to big and the gameplay bloated

I'll be honest, I didn't finish the game because at some point I stopped playing and never got back to it, but I summarize what I felt while playing the game.

This game built in a quite interesting way, which is a turn based open level kind of a thing, where the placements of the characters are important with respect to the enemies and with respects to the other characters in your party. This adds a very interesting aspect of strategy to the game, but I would say that not enough.
Because at some point, at least in my playthrough, Carwyn and Gwen got so strong, that almost all the other characters are just useless and not adding much to the game except just manually skipping their turns all the time because they got one shot pretty quickly.

I didn't see many h-scenes because I went for a loyalty run, without the ntr part, but didn't play far enough to enjoy and see if the scenes evolve.

I also would add that the amount of characters in your party is way too many. it would be much more interesting with fewer characters and giving them more abilities to add to the strategic aspect of the game.

Overall, as a game, I would say it was interesting, even without the aspect of the sex, but I assume this is what kept me playing as far as I got.

Very interesting combat system. The game has an average number of H-scenes and is quite sparse considering its playtime. However the writing and character development is very nice. There is also high replay value given the multiple different endings.
