RPGM - Completed - OverDevil: Legend of the Sacred Stone [v1.37] [Big elbow]

In chapter 3 right now and so far the game has been very enjoyable. Only reason I gave it 3 stars is that it disappointed me on the H part. Where is the H? I came for a porn game and so far it looks like just... A game with some smut here and there, very sparse. It doesn't even feel like a porn game text-wise, just your run of the mill adventure rpgm, which begs the question: Where the hell are all these tags coming from? Where is all the content? Maybe this game has like... 40 chapterz with tons of content spread out, or maybe the content thickens some chapter forward. I pretend to keep playing just out of curiosity and because it's entertaining and who knows? But for now... 3 stars.

Art looks like it will be good.... Too bad its gate kept behind hours and hours of grinding and useless dialog. The mc, as far as I'm willing to play her, has 1 sex scene that barely qualifies and 1 game over scent that's a jpeg and a sentence of dialog. To get there, I needed to go trough literal books worth of useless dialog and grinding, cause combat in this game will see you 2 shot on the 2nd lowest setting, so you need to grind levels or its straight game over. Rarely any enemies give you game scenes btw. This isn't a game, its a book with jpegs sprinkled in every 100 pages

Little to no scenes in 5 hours i got about 6/7 scenes , Art is good but game is bad. Can't skip dialogues , you get harassed by monster every 3/4 steps you take in game. dialogues are slows AF, Can't recommend it.

Combat: basically a 1:1 copy octopath travelers. Same BP, same multi-weapon sawpping system, and even the stat is similar. It's barely good enough to make this game worth playing all on its own. It's pretty fun at hard difficulty if you don't grind. Higher difficulties requires some grind and lower difficulty has 0 challenge.

The story/dialogue is essentially a parady of RPG stereotypes. Usually it's funny, but sometimes it's a bit too much. Enjoyable, but not the best.

UI is basic RPGmaker games but clunky. It's all minor blemishes, but there's a LOT of these blemishes, i.e. the text box will flash once every new page, the equipment menu doesn't show what equipment in that slot you have when you hover over it, units highlight when you select them as a target is very hard to see, map name display when you enter a map isn't translated (doesn't really matter much because you can see the name of the map before you enter it), etc.

Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of the porn. It's very few and far in between each H-scene, and it's the typical massive chest tumors pretending to be breasts.

You can see the effort in this one. Is funny and quirky. The gameplay intends to emulate octopath traveler and it manages to do so. If you liked that type of gameplay then this will be fine for you.
Difficulty options can make the game easy for anyone that does not care about that. Story is whatever, half of the time it does not takes itself serious. As for the porn... well, as the guy that made the first review said, it is in a strange place. That being said, it is all good quality and diverse. I say it is worth it if you are okay with all the tags the game has.

First and foremost this game is censored (at least partially) so if you are purely looking for uncensored content, this is not the one. Why did i say partially? see attached picture from 1 of the CG, its seems like the Taiwanese dev have more of an issue depicting female genitals vs male genitals, at least that my guess.

Story: 3/5. I have not finish this game, but so far its seems like the premise is your very typical JRPG story... You Lola, inherit one of the sacred stone from you mother and must gather other sacred stone holders to defeat the demon king. While the story is typical and linear to most degree, the translation is very very good, i can see the hard work behind the TL team in this title (there are even many western reference in the TL, which is not typical in many JRPG). Together with the original story, jokes, CG expression from the character, I don't have too much complain with the otherwise rather plain story line.
Though, throughout the 1st 3 chapters, there are hints that you can take a evil route later, this will certainly add to the story line if execute well.

Gameplay: 4/5. The combat system is pretty awesome, not just heck and slash. Each character has 2 weapons you can equip and your enemies has different weakness to element or weapon type. In this game you have to actually try to win the battles, lol. Skills are gain via leveling but are also from weapon and accessary, which you can equip different skills depending on your preference.

Hint: use W-key to power up you attack with BP; equip the enemies warding necklace, otherwise random encounters are too much

However, I do feel a certain disconnect with the H-scene and the story-line. So far all of the H-scene are either selectable (with no impact to story one way or the other) or hidden behind a side story of a minor character which you don't have to watch if you don't care for it.

CGs: 5/5. Even most CGs in this game are censored, they are exceptionally well drawn. Honestly, the censoring are in such fine pixel, I can enjoy the CGs just as they were uncensored. Also the expressions for all the main characters are plenty and cute. Last but not least at least 30% of the NPC actually have a standing CG associated with them, some are cool and some are super hot (talk to the guild receptionist in chapter 2 and u know what i mean). I can see the amount of effort that was put into this game.

Overall, very decent game. 4/5 is my rating
