RPGM - Completed - Nightmare Knight ~Sacred Maiden & Fallen Magic~ [v2.01] [orzPINEz]

Note this game is 4.5/5 but I rounded to 5 because I enjoyed this game a lot. It's not without a flaw section, but its one of those games where you would play more than once to see everything. (I also finished this game when it first got uploaded on here but didn't get to writing a review for it). There are some spoilers.

Pros:

• Hot protagonist.
• Great art.
• A very big game.
• Game throws a lot of money at you to buy everything you need. You can pretty much buy your way out of potential h scenes that increase desire over logic.
• I like how the cheating ending is based on how many times you cheat on Jazz for Buster and not just having sex with random people. Raine doesn’t care for men enough for the game to consider it as such, but Buster is a huge influence on her psyche that she has to resist multiple times to avoid his ending (even if it’s personally a very sexy NTR ending). You can have 1 scene of the 4 where having 3 cheating sex results in the cheating ending.
• Protagonist is not a virgin
• She’s not your typical protagonist that can subject her lover to NTR. She will always have an option to opt out of cheating so long as her reason is high (and she has heavy pockets).
• There’s a lot to do in the main town as long as you can increase your desire. The more sexual harassment Raine faces, the more events you can do around the area.

Cons:

• The lag in the main town is so bad. Even with the recent update, there is no way to stop the frame drops and it hurts since it’s the main area you are walking in. This is not seen in the other areas in the city (west and east are back to a steady frame rate.) [IDK if recent versions fix this].
• If there’s a sleeping enemy, the whole map freezes and becomes impossible to traverse. This happens in the second area with the sleeping goblins (which got fixed in the recent patch) and the fourth area with the sleeping thieves (which hasn’t been fixed). The fourth area is worse because there are areas where in order to avoid an ambush or a trap, you have to input whatever is shown on screen but the lag prevents you from doing it.
• The game isn’t balanced around reason and desire. If you play well and only pick “reason”, you are not unlocking any of the hentai scenes. Since the story makes it clear that Raine has a strong will, it’s natural to always pick blue until the end of the game where suddenly it leads you to the worst ending. Pink bar fills every time you go to sleep by 5 percent and goes up more with every successful h scene that tends to occur during the story rather than sidequests. It’s easier to stay in blue as a result.
• The ending requirement is bullshit because up until that point, the game makes you pick reason over desire.

• Meryl has no h scenes due to having a game before this one. Her design is so good, she shows up in this game, but it’s a waste that nothing happens to her (not even a consensual brothel scene). She needs at least one when her presence in the game is important.
• A lot of underutilized areas. The high class bar is used once during the story. The beach bar is barren. The underground area with all the vagrants has nothing outside of going there during the story mode.
• Most of the alchemy items are completely unused. Why make collecting items important when the ones needed to upgrade the sword and armor can be bought by the merchants in the main area? The exception is beating the bosses, wields their unique item needed for upgrades and can be farmed once a day.
• The magic stat is useless. Raine’s magic slash is useless in contrast to her normal skills. Why waste MP and TP on a skill based on her lower magic when you can just max out her physical stats and be able to mow down the majority of the enemies? The only magic stat that matters is resistance.
• The final area sucks. You go through the same womb level four times with the main difference being that it’s rotated differently and a different color. The bosses at the end are all the same with nothing to differentiate them. I feel like they should have utilized the theme of the color and made the boss use that specific element and punish Raine depending on what she has equipped or prioritizes.

Its this company's first major game (second one overall), so if they keep giving high quality games like this, I am all on board.

This game have all the good things who can expect from a H-RPG maker game :
- a lot of H-content through all the game, and not only when you get a game over ;
- some H content directly during the battle, and battle damaged clothes ;
- different cotusmes available (but sadly only one for battle) ;
- several side jobs quests ;
- a solid corruption system, which is well design (not too fast or too slow)
- an enjoyable and simple ingame gameplay and storyline.

Overall rpg mechanics aren't really innovating but they offer more of a challenge than your typical rpgmaker h-game.

What really sets this apart is the art, the story and, the "QTE" sections where you decide to lewd her or listen to reason. Rain is really cute and Inner Rain's dialogue was fun to read. Overall a really great game. Wish it got an official translation.

Very good art and scenarios. Lots of variety to the h-scenes. It's quite a slow burn so that's good if you like that kind of thing, bad if you just want to leap straight into harder stuff. The combat is good but there's an annoying focus on certain enemies binding you and destroying your armour which can massively weaken you and make it a bit of a slog. You can upgrade your weapons and armour but the parts you need for that can be very rare, and it can be unclear where exactly they are - though there's a book in your room that helps with this. It over all feels like a polished product - it even has some voice acting for certain things.

great game. very standard story but its done well. reminds me of clymenia games. always nice to see corruption games that build up the action slowly with some nice repeatable/in-between content so the actual progresssion of the game keeps you interested in seeing more. hope to see more from this dev.

It's rather fun, not too short, not too long (about ~8 hours).
The main quest is fine and is easy to follow, but I get a little tired closer to the end of the game because of constant fighting.

The fighting is mediocre at best. You don't really have to spend skill points to get to the best skills, I only upgraded two basic skills and the fights were very easy. I don't mind a few fights but there are just too many monsters in too lengthy dungeons.

The CGs are fine, there are many scenes and those are pretty good. The requirements for the scenes are a little grindy and not fun in particular.

An above average hentai game that follows the standard RPGM formula, but executes it well. For people unfamiliar to the formula, it's a woman who's employed by the government/kingdom/w.e entity in mind and has to go some town and gradually gets corrupted there because of some curse. Go through dungeons and progress in both combat and smut.

Pros:
Good art. Excellent QOL; skip button present throughout entire story and combat to avoid unnecessary time wasting, quest system is very linear and easy to follow through. Sex stats are tracked.

Cons:
Not much variety, specifically on fuckable characters. While there is lose scenes in dungeons, there's not many. Also, in town there are few places that don't have any scenes, such as the underground inn and beach.
Having to grind some sex stats is also a pain as well. Wish some of it could be easier to train.

Grindmare Knight (Review) [v1.14]

Total playtime: 8-10 hours
Number of faps: 0-1
Finished the game?: No

Game-play (4/5)
This is an H-JRPG where you play as knight whom can easily be corrupted and turn into a whore. The game is well-made and polished, I never encountered any bugs during my playtime. The game-play is easy, combat is okay. There is H-combat in the game which is a big plus. My only problem with the gameplay is that it gets super grindy near the end. Fighting the enemies for the first couple times are fun but the amount you need to fight increases significantly over time.

Sex (4/5)
The art style is really good, I liked it. There are plenty of H-scenes, and a decent amount of animated H-cut-ins. Plenty of the H-scenes and cut-ins have clothing variations. So, even the repeated events have some value. However, both the H-scenes or the animated cut-ins are not enough for a fap session. Also, most of the stuff has voice-over!

Verdict (4/5)
This is a long and grindy H-JRPG. Combat is simple and easy, there are tons of side activities you can do, and everything you do can be sexual. This is a game where you play with your dick in your hand all the time. Even though there is constant sex in the game, it never reaches to a point where you can fap one out. Overall, this is a solid game that makes you want to play to see what sexy stuff happens/you can do next. I just couldn't handle the grind near the end and stopped playing at the final boss area.


Why only 2 categories (game-play and sex) for the review?
I only care about how good and entertaining the game-play (mechanics, replay-ability, enjoyment, etc.) and whether I can fap to the h-scenes. The rest doesn't matter to me.

it's a "good" game. honestly nothing bad about it. does everything perfectly, corruption imo is excellent, because you dont need to lose to get corrupted, and corruption have 10 categories (bodyparts and fetishes) so each is separate and H-scenes in towns unlock based on that corruption level. ofc if you get raped then the corruption level doesnt matter.

so everything is great. art is very nice, she is very cute....

... so why 4/5? well idk, there are lots of sexy scenes but they are not THAT sexy. and since this is a porn forum i feel like fappability deserves higher weight in rating. plus fights are a bit too easy and monotone and a bit grindy. there are many enemy types, but you just 1-2shot everything, if you buy proper skills( you can unlock everything, so not that many skills) you can like 2-3shots bosses too. attack increase magic doesnt take away a turn, and there is both attack magic, and "all magic" which gives all buffs, and they stack. so you will have a VERY high attack dmg after both buffs. magic dmg is almost nonexistent. there is 1skill with 2routes which is the only magic dmg. so it's kind of a useless stat.

but if you get restrained, it's really really easy to escape from it. so you never really feel helpless to orgasm. which imo is a big miss.


i would have given this 4,5/5 if possible, but since it's not, it could easily deserve a 5 because there are no problems with it. some scenes even have small animations. it's just sex scenes are usually not that hot and most of the game is not that interesting, only when you are really at the end.

anyway game is good, you can spend like 10+hours on it. to some scenes you can probably fap too.(i didnt). lots of gropes and sexual harassments and kinda-mind control trope to give motivation for sluttiness and naughty behaviour. interesting desire-logic meter. so it's a very decent game.

Quite the good game, graphics are nice, the game balance is well thought-out, and the adventure, while classic, doesn't feel like a FedEx trainee course, unlike many other games of the type.
A simple caveat would be that the lategame is less immersive than the early and mid-games due to people still reacting in "skimpy clothes" way to a full on naked Rain, but still good.

This game deserves 4/5, but lack of change in the Rain character and sex scenes, ruins its appeal as a "corruption" game.

Rain starts as a "Slightly horny, but keeping appearances", and finishes as "Horny, but shy". By the time you reach endgame, Rain has "done it all", she has an experience of an old porn actress, and yet, her personalty and attitude bareley changed. Almost all the scenes are some variation of rape, molestation or being forced in some manner.

Hour 1 - Rain is raped and loves it, but is shy about it,
Hour 10 - Rain is raped and loves it, but she is less shy about it.
It would be perfectly fine, if it was a short game, but this is a fairly long one.

H-part of the game, feels a bit like reading 400 pages long doujinshi, where changes stop happening at page 100.

Played in v 1.14 with patchs
Pretty good game, a good TP system that allows you to take fights easily instead of having to take 3-4 turn in order to charge tp or take a potion this game allows you gain tp if you take a enemy from the back and also gain tp every turn if you have the ability.
Has an interesting take of FMC corruption that actually matters in the story.
Good art altough little scenes for my taste.
Overall a good game with an interesting story and a good take in the turn fight system.

Been awhile since I completed a HRPG game. It was good compared to all the trash hrpg's out there. Also the corruption isnt as crazy as oneone1 games (not that it needs to be, cuz the oneone1 games corruption can be very cruel sometimes ), but that makes it enjoyable.

Its netorare, but i enjoyed it because we play from the female pov. I hate netorare games with male protags. Also it didnt feel like netorare...maybe cuz I did'nt like jazz anyway keke.

Although I do feel like the game could have been better. It has so much wasted potential. Like the Peaceful Inn, I've been trying to sleep there since the begining but alas we could not. Or entering the mens bath.

I really wish there was a post game...guess I got spoiled by Ambrosia.

Conclusion:

Anyway good game, nice art, costumes, hot sex, decent corruption, hot protag that i like and is somewhat smart compared to those typical brain dead female protags from other hrpg games, there are jobs and minigames as well. The combat system and skill tree system were nice as well. Battle fuck and clothes break.

Give it a try.

Although standard in gameplay and mechanics, the art is simply gorgeous, and the scenes are varied enough to make this one of the better "RPGM corruption" games, playing the game itself is painless and straight forward, you'll never find yourself lost or wondering on what you have to do next.

The game does have an interesting way of handling the quintessential corruption meter, and although it does play part in unlocking new/lewder scenes, it doesn't really play out in battle fuck, which feels like a slapped on feature because they already went through the effort of drawing Rain in a million different outfits, I feel like if those aspects were expanded upon, this could've been gold.

Another average Japanese RPGM game that provides a lot of good fap material, but, unfortunately, lacks (almost) everything else. Played one game like this - played them all. But if you came here for lewds then you won't be disappointed - it's on S-tier level. Rating - 44/80, or 3/5

P.S. - need to note that the game I've played and reviewed isn't officially translated. Some parts of the game weren't translated at all, some may content issues and errors, but most of it is .

Further below is a more thorough review where I check every aspect of the game and rate it. It contains spoilers to the game so make sure to play the game first before reading this.

As a Ero-Rpg fan, i liked this game a lot.
The slow burn corruption is well made and as others RPG game, you'll visit tavern, brothel, inn etc...
There is a sexual exeprience system and you'll get more and more horny stuff as you xp in it.

Battle system is meh, but you can be molested during those.

Overall, i'll not say it is a top tier H-game, but a solid A.

Played on 1.0.8 with the patch.

Another title to throw in the corruption/ntr bin, but my lord is the heroine, Rain, unbelievably beautiful!! As much as I have complaints about the game that I will detail below, just play this game to enjoy the art to the fullest!

---Story & Characters---
The main story is a boring and uninteresting fantasy rpg romp - kick the evil and not-very threatening demon to the curve and be a victim of sexual assault along the way. The demon is transmitting horny waves to the entire city which is distracting everyone enough for them to ignore a giant demon invasion I think? Whatever plan the antagonist was trying to cook doing some dungeon crawling and destroying his magic crystals is enough to thwart everything. Yawn.

While this game is labelled as NTR and corruption, there's very little of either going on here. The heroine's love interest is a million miles away and there is zero build up of him finding out what she's been doing or even feelings of guilt on the heroine's side if she puts herself in certain scenarios that the whole angle might as well not exist. Likewise with the corruption, Rain never goes through a distinct progression of committing to more hardcore actions - it all blends together between shoddy justifications and being helpless against the horny waves and needing something from the other party, usually plot progression. There are no hard story beats of her turning into a cockslut, it's more like she is already one at the start but the game mechanics just put a buffer between the softer and harder stuff.

All this to say that maybe the chat gpt machine translation, although it spits out acceptable and understandable english, fails in the fine details of the text it translated. I won't knock the story too hard because ultimately what I've read has an unknown accuracy to what the author intended. But like I said, the translation is perfectly acceptable to get through the game and enjoy it without hiccups like a line of garbled garble.

One character that stands out though is Buster, an adversary that wants Rain at all costs and also is similar to her lover in appearance to boot. If you want to get the most out of the story, definitely accept his conditions to enjoy the best part of the story. Hell, even if you decline he ends up having some pretty cool dialogue at the end of the game.

To get all the scenes you unfortunately have to grind various sexual actions to max the level of Rain's desire, which is serious tedium. Because seeing the same cgs and animations just destroys the fun and joy of it all, consider a full save. There are points in the story where Rain must choose to give into desire or stick to reason, and the decision is left up to a bouncing meter and both sides constantly vie for room. With high desire, it's mechanically difficult to choose the "reason" and avoid sex scenes which is worth mentioning. Desire slowly builds up every day, so while there is no strict timeline you may want to manage how deep your desire goes.

---Combat---
Nightmare Knight also features bog standard combat - at this point it's not really a rpg hentai game if there is no destructible clothing, defeat scenes, and in-battle molestation. The game handles these all very well: defense lowers when more of Rain's hard-to-hold-onto clothing disappears, which actually makes enemy hits fairly damaging. If Rain gets held down by the monsters and she has no TP to immediately escape, it can lead to consequences down the line. Escaping by itself can be challenging as hitting the timing on the sliding bar is precise. However, there is a hard cap as to what a group of monsters will do to Rain in battle so they lose their luster after a while - there's pretty much no incentive to continue to be molested indefinitely - after 3 or 4 turns you have seen all you can see.

Something I haven't seen before is a two-state climax bar; typically the horny bar hits full and the heroine climaxes, but in this game it takes two of these bars filled to see Rain climax. With this system Rain has a dedicated state where she is more open to harassment, and her defense in battle is lowered. Climaxing in battle puts you out for five whole turns, and filling the second bar from a street molester leads to some funny sequence breaking in terms of corruption. Overall this is a neat idea as it opens up more time to enjoy some more lewd voice acting in battle.

The combat itself is unfortunately very easy. When you see the sparse skill tree and what some of them do it's easy to figure out how to break the game. Buff spells don't even take up a turn so that annoyance is struck out from this game. Equipment options are limited strictly to buffing your initial gear, and small buffs to your stats. Status effects are completely negligible. Bosses all have near-identical patterns and you deal with all of them in the same way.

The dungeons however, are all very well done and are perfectly paced so they don't overstay their welcome. All of them feel fresh and distinct from one another, and flow smoothly to where you'll never feel stuck.

---Audio---
Nothing to write home about but nothing particularly terrible - although there is a random, inconsequential scene which features a track with blasts some crazy hip-hop style ad libs a minute into it. Bizarre.

The voice acting is great, but for some reason it's very down the mix as even on 50% on everything else, and voice at 100%, Rain can sometimes be barely heard. Adjust accordingly to get the best out of the performance. What I appreciate the most out of the voice acting is that it is tastefully sparse - for example if Rain is performing a handjob on someone there is no voice acting to accompany it, and why should there? There is no egregious moaning for the sake of it so if Rain happens to moan or yelp it's actually impactful. So kodus for that!

---Summary---
Like I said, a lot of these things can be forgiven in the face of Rain's neutral, breathtaking, cold stare. Uryama-ya's art is impeccable! Go enjoy it, regardless of the milktoast story and easy combat!

p.s. forgot to put this somewhere it makes more sense, but the fast traveling in this game is S tier and makes getting through the game so much easier - once you have the money definitely buy the items that let you fast travel around

haven't completed the game (will add on if anything changes)

firstly i had to say is, this game is very well made, there are efforts put into this game

the good:
game is well made and there are efforts put into it
character is voice acted even in combat (not in conversation but is a step up compared to many others)
character is beautiful and sexy, design wise is a 10/10
the recollection room has a luxury feeling to it that I haven't seen before, again like I said, efforts are being put into making this game

the not so good:
it can get boring for the first few hours if you play this game just to jerk off, you have to play quite a lot to reach the good h-scenes (only affect people who play game purely to jerk off)

overall this is a very well made game, i appreciate the efforts being put into making it

P:S. if anyone is interested, the same dev has another h-game featuring the witch girl in the story, but i believe it's not translated yet

Starts out strong, finishes a lil mediocre.

You've seen this story about a dozen times now, strong and respected woman is sent to investigate some town that just so happens to be full of degenerates who will molest and corrupt her. You've also probably seen all the town paths (tavern, massage, public bath, casino, brothel, etc.) play out the same exact way every single time too, so this game isn't really brining anything new to the table in the story department.

Corruption mechanic seems interesting when it's introduced, but is then shockingly also bog standard. You may think these big "desire or reason" choices you're presented with and the attached bar will play a big role in the shenagins you can get up to in town but nah, it still just involves going to the same place a few times and bumping into npcs that will molest you to progress scenes. There is the odd tid bit that the "insertion" desire to view any sex scenes is hard locked behind losing a dungeon fight at least once, so you could argue a lot of the scenes in this game are a "lose to see" scenario.

Combat is pretty standard (there is a little benefit of walking into the back of any enemy sprite will give you a free move) and character leveling is pretty straight forward, and also easily accessible for people trying to avoid corruption (though why you'd be playing a porn game to avoid any and all porn is beyond me). The groping and battlefuck system is more of an annoyance rather than something you seek out, and if you are trying to seek out can be unreliable to seek out as only certain enemies will do it and they won't always opt to do it over standard attacks.

Art is pretty good but you'll also quickly realize there's actually not that much to go around and you'll stumble across repeated cg fairly soon, and the outfits look nice but then you quickly realize they serve no function outside of their designated scenes. It's a little underwhelming that the town substories all seem to end as soon as there's penetration (or sometimes before that), as opposed to what you may have come to expect from games like The Scarlet Swordswoman where there is prolonged corruption.

This isn't a bad game by any means, it's just overshadowed by other games that have the same exact premise and is being a tad bit overrated for some reason

It's a great game, a voiced, slow corruption RPGM game. It gives you the choice on getting molested while maintaining the MC's virginity. H-scenes are really great. Combat is pretty straightforward and easy. There's NPC sex without needing the combat defeat which is good. Kinda feel the slums are underused tho. Rating it this high coz most of the recent RPGM games' quality are way lower than this one.
