Wolf RPG - Completed - Niplheim's Hunter - Branded Azel [Final] [Black Train]

short but amazing game with quite a good story, like i was really impressed with everything and it has a nice gameplay although quite linear. Also it has gorgeous art and does not look 'rpgmakey'

Recommend it 5/5

Great art
Decent sex scenes and characters
Sub-par combat mechanics
great music

The art in the game is genuinely great and consistent throughout all the scenes, a big plus.

The actual scenes are not bad and have good voice acting, but they weren't phenomenal either.

The combat is seriously lacking; upgrade your gear once and you never need to heal again, just mash the basic attack button. Level-ups restore your health and you will level up faster than you will take damage. If the devs had just given a hard mode option where you can't level (and thus need to rely on your gear for stats, the balancing would have been a lot better).

For whatever reason, the music in the sex scenes is better than the scenes themselves, in the sense that it's good enough for me to leave it running in the background while I do other things just to listen to it.

Overall, I had a lot of fun with it and would recommend the game to others.

Irrelevant staple kind of grindy cookie-cutter gameplay, but 10/10 art and game progression lewdness. there's some defeat porn to every mob though it's barely varies but really it's more of a beat level and get items and porn scenes type of deal and it does it well, it'll make you cum that's all you can ask

Not really satisfying, but has a quality art
Gameplay is too easy, won't even took 2 hours. Story is meh, it's more towards interactions than story telling. There are only some other character, but it was okay. The RPG part is good, but it doesn't really matter that much because the game is far too short, most items are useless, and enemy; even bosses is just easy.

4/5. Game is so-so, hentai part is great

Great Game, Highly Recommend! I'd give it a solid 9/10! The last point would be given if they included an enemy model in the "full lust" scenes instead of off screen or if they created sprite scenes for those.

Version: Final

-A game with a very polished and distinct art style, you can easily tell that this games art was made by a very skilled artist and this games art is one of its strongest point.
-Gameplay wise, its very similar to other RPG engine games, grind basic mobs so you can fight stronger scripted bosses and progress the story, nothing new on this front.
-The story is pretty meh~, its basic with its progression and its characters, but lets be honest here, we arent here for the story, are we now?
-The final thing to write about is the sexual scenes, and they are pretty well created, if not really that revolutionary.

Overall a good game with its own distinct look, would recommend you to try it.

I really wanted to like this game, I did. It ticks a lot of boxes:

• it's actually finished
• the art is very good, drawn by an obviously skilled artist
• the premise sounds very promising
• the whole game is really polished

But a few hours in, the game really started to grate on my nerves:

The writing

I don't know if that's the translator's or the developer's fault, but the writing is really hard to follow. Some lines are presented in a way that makes it hard to understand if it's Azel, the narrator or the blacksmith (who is supposed to be the player's self-insert for some reason) speaking. The NPCs you interact with are all weird, and not in a funny way. More of a "cross the road inconspicuously to avoid them" way.

The gameplay

I've come to accept that lewd RPGs have filler combat. Niplheim's Hunter is no different: trash mobs fall to your basic attack, bosses require one or two tries, maybe a heal mid-fight. You must go out of your way to trigger a mid-combat sex scene, there's no real pressure around this mechanic. However, filler combat doesn't mean you don't have to engage with it. Azel's outfits require boss drops to craft, and you must kill the same boss multiple times to obtain them.

The game, like most Japanese games are, is obssessed with tracking the precise volume of semen Azel has been exposed to and other ridiculous stats, but hey, if it makes someone more aroused, sure, why not?

The art

I cannot fault the quality of the art. But, like the paintings of Dali, it just can't reach my heart dick. First of all, the scenes are cropped really tightly. Second, they all feature invisible men. At least scenes with flying dicks can be unintentionally hilarious, but ghost dicks just mean Azel (or one of the other girls) looks like she's having a seizure in them. Mid-combat scenes are cropped in a way that doesn't even show anything lewder than Azel's ahegao face.

The lewdness

This is not a corruption game. By the game's start Azel has already been through a lot, she's not adjusting to the idea of succumbing to her lust brand. It's about as sexy as living with diabetes. Well, I am lying a bit, she still finds the whole process pleasurable, but without corruption or romance the sex in the game feels kinda mechanical. The blacksmith self-insert has some scenes of his own, but since we are treated only to the scenes and not the buildup, they do not deliver either.

Summary

Check out the screenshots. If Azel's plump cheeks and pouty mouth get you going and you aren't bothered by ghost dicks, go for it. I wanted to give it 3/5, but am giving it 4/5, since its technical quality is so impressive.

This game is really great. The H content is very significant, with a wide variety of outfit and a lot of ahegao contents. The CG are really good looking, and the audio is cool as weel. The main gameplay is quite simple but do the job expected for this kind of game.
Imo the missing point is the lack on ingame pixel animation during fight. There is CG for in battle sex scene, and few pixel animations too, but a pixel animation for each monster would be great.

Good Wolf RPG game where it's segmented into chapters essentially. There's the battle portions then the quests portions which unlocks the scenes. It's not groundbreaking, but it is good for what it is. It's very structured and can be enjoyed in one longer playthrough. There are different endings for you to go for as well.

Comments:

Essentially lewd hunter game of already corrupted FMC . There were fair amount of scenes to enjoy and some tame variety of kinks. Some scenes were more comedic than hot tho.

Also gameplay was rather simple, do dungeons, get materials, craft gear and trigger events during evening when lewdness bar is high enough. Which was nice, H-aspect is focus after all.

Story… eh.. I think it was fine enough, fairly straightforward with some comedic value. Side characters give me some giggles even in their H-scenes.

Visual design was very neat, interface clean and audio/music was also solid enough.

As far this game goes it was good enough, but nothing too special.
6/10

(Reviewed after completing the game)

I loved the gameplay of this game, I enjoyed the monster hunter inspired theme and how there are so many outfits, and all in one included with the game, I did think the porn was pretty but a little too OTT for my liking, I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves turn based and hentai games, also play the prequel if you haven't it is short and fun.

Gameplay 5 out of 5
Story 4 out of 5
Porn 3 out of 5 (but still pretty)

Excellent and pretty game.
The H scenes are really good, the ahegaos are top tier.
All the secondary characters are in fact, wholesome guys.
Not really long and close to no real grind, you get the items you need as you complete the quest.

Really loved it.

many of these animations(monster) and visual(H-battle scene) are recycled which I find it's a lazy thing to do, also not enough deep relationship CG base normally I expected
3 mild > moderate> advance
but so far I've seen more like mild > advance 60% of the time which therefore deserves an average review because I really expected more from the developers this is like rushing to finish a product not to tailor it to perfection but just rather for the sake of creating a product. like trying to get a market share of the top games in this genre but sadly in my POV a beginner's mistake

the good parts are visuals & animation except x-ray stunning yes but a lot of it is reused...

A great game but the H elements didn't appeal to me. Most of the non CG H elements are barebone, and bestiality may as well be just in the text.

While the Art seems great, it becomes repetitive since the beasts don't get much of their own art.

The best parts were the Happy Anniversary CG sets and the voice acting.

If you want to play a good game, maybe look somewhere other than an H game.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Got all the weapons and armors crafted and upgraded. Cool to see someone implementing some Monster Hunter mechanics. Just wish the weapons actually changed their designs as well, but aside from that one cosmetic complaint, this is a pretty damn good game. It sometimes crashes, maybe once every few hours, and there's no autosave feature, so be sure to save at least once per ingame day.

The H scenes and artwork are some of the best out there. Really impressed on that front, excellent job to the artists, bravo!

Game overall, not quite a 5, but a solid 4, mostly due to no autosave and a little crashing, but it's short enough you can beat it in a day anyway. Gets right to the point of being an H game, while still offering fun gameplay.

First impressions first: Art is really good.

Gameplay has a unique (to my knowledge) twist: instead of wasting a resource like MP for special attacks, you gain points that, upon reaching a certain point, makes your character go crazy and fuck the enemy (if it survived your attack).

Aftrwards, you become stunned by the afterglow for a few rounds.

The nice part is how this changes both the combat strategy and the approach to sex. You don't have to lose to see H-scenes, but you have to put yourself at risk to use your best abilities.

As for the story, it's really silly and kinda funny at times.

Small and fun RPG with good artwork. It also very easy, I died only once, at the beginning, when I figuring out how things work in there.

Final twist in the end was kinda dumb, but unexpected (I thought it was Master). On this note you can beat the game as a "virgin" without triggering any H scenes.

Since game is simple you can beat it in 4 hours or so. This with opening all H scenes, since, thankfully, game generous enough to tell you what you should do to unlock each scene.

Overall 4, since all H scenes are a power point presentation, but fully voiced power point presentations.

Great Game.
Very good CG and Animation, also Voiced. Storywise nothing to intresting but who playes for story anyways. Good Variety in h.Scene also enjoyable because its consensual and not rape ntr based ect.

Meh.

- Some basics were interesting: (a) kill monsters to get raw materials to get better weapons / armor; (b) multiple outfits; (c) receive quests at "home base" rather than wandering around blindly.
- After a little bit of grinding, the MC is no longer at risk of dying.
- I didn't find the illustrations at all attractive - large, saggy noodles like floppy, pink pasta . . . no thanks.
- Sex scenes just weren't sexy - each was a single image with a LOT of text.
- Game crashed once - so save often.

TL;DR - Far more combat game than sex game, and combat becomes too easy too early. Sexy parts were not sexy.

The game is well made and fun. It's not your generic looking RPG, - the art is good and unique, the sex scenes uncensored, often voice acted, and every locked CG inside the gallery has a note telling you how to unlock it. another thing I really like is the ability to put on costumes.

The downsides I would say, is the lack of variety in the sex scenes, the less than interesting story, and how easy the game is.
