RPGM - Completed - Paladin Lias [v1.20] [SWORDRP5]

I fully agree with the previous review. This is an H game without any single thought or braincell spent to the story and gameplay.

You just walk around watch scenes, the heroine is a slut, the corruption tag here is an imitation.

A game should be at last not insulting the intellect of us gamer.
Even with porn games I want just a little bit realism.

For me it was over at the first scene....I mean falling for a trap like a small boy....getting nude and unarmed...that is just stupid.

My scoring & reviews explained HERE[desozone.wordpress.com]

PROs:
+FMC looks nice enough
+scenes are okay & fair amount
+Combat easy mode if do lewd stuff with gear dude
+2 endings? (i did deprived route only)
+memory room give scene unlock tips

CONs:
-translation half-assed
-storyline fairly useless
-not much to the game itself..

Comments:
Not gonna bother adding much. Not exactly a corruption game, more of a closeted perv/slut just goes for her desires.

A holy knight saint/priestess goes wild.

Scenes were nice enough, so had some good time.. but was rather mediocre so would recommend to put time in something else instead.

5/10

The art is good so this outways the minor cons. Hard to lose which is great
Lots of useless parts on map. Some annoying fuck you figure it out parts. Translation is good. There is no ntr here. Was hoping some more variation in scenes but they were adequate. If it were not slightly mosiac'ed or even so as is... I guess I could recommend it's more or less fair price on steam of $6

This is a Fantastic NTR Corruption game. With bits of revenge sex/blackmail and the heroine trying convincing herself it's not enjoyable.

There are technical issues on the steam version I played, but nothing you can't just reload to a previous save to fix.
It's a very classic "You have two options" type of game.
Either earn money the long way and stay faithful, or earn money the fast way and fall deeper down the rabbit hole.

Story 9/10:
Very Corruption themed, it gets pretty hot at times ngl

Artwork 8/10:
Very curvy protagonist, the males are usually roughly drawn, probably for imagination purposes but lots of sex here.

Combat 6.5/10:
Busy work mostly but you can always just run past enemies and there are super armors from the armorsmith (at a horny cost)

*Very cheap on steam, and self published. Refreshing to see in the slew of Match 3/Puzzle games out there.

Best way to describe this game is below average.

- Feels unfinished. Quite a few empty/locked buildings, tons of NPCs that are just decoration and have no dialogue.

- Main character thought process is... special. Thought process of those around her is just porn logic in the worst possible way. Example, bandit asks her to strip so he can check for weapons. She does so, and then lets him grope her. Triple question mark moments like that make up most of the game's... "plot".

- Sex stat tracking nonexistent other than the one kindness/greed substat. It feels grindy to deal with.

The only thing this game has going for it, is the art and animations. The animations are why it's not a 1-star.

Turnbased combat RPG Game, Nope not really...
The game is more into the H-events. It's not really good.
The protagonist design is ok, But she is a heavily perverted exhibitionist Ugh.

Worthwile, streamlined corruption game!

Granted it is not in any way innovative in regards gameplay or story-wise. But what it does it does well. It is corruption themed game with an "open world", some light ntr and all the scenes you would exspect, like bathhouse, waitress-job, foto shoots etc. The world is a bit plain, but the MC drawings are very nice and the censor is totally negligable. There is no clothing feature or character view betweens scenes, but the MC will wear different outfits in scenes. Gameplay-wise the fighting system is stripped down, so it does not become a bother, there is no game-over and a handful of defeat scenes to specific enemies. The translation is VERY good and the writing, if not innovative is well-executed. There is a recall-room in which you can recall all scenes and it gives clear information on how to unlock missing scenes. I do not know if there are different endings, but you can go on after the final scene to collect all missed scenes, so you can RP like you want and still see (all) of the content. Alltogether there is about 3-4h content.

All in all it is a well-executed corruption game with good presentation (MC visuals, sounds and writing) that nails it's main theme and does it so well that many games with more complex gameplay mechanics are less enjoyable because of their grind or too long intervals between scenes or lack of a proper translation.

4/5 - Worthwile, streamlined corruption game!

I want to defend this game because it is a brilliant one!
Many people say that the game is just another played to death theme. While when I encounter that kind of game, nobody says a thing and the game feels like it was written by a 14 year old feminist or sjw.
Here the game avoided all the frustrating elements other rpgs have, like wandering around within too many buildings, cities, talking to hundreds of strangers while nothing happens, and too complicated combat, magic etc. Here everything is simple and straightforward. There are no unnecessary „good” paths either. Though I wish it would be a bit longer, a bit more scenes and adventures, and indeed some locations only consist of a photographer and the inn. Not perfect, but still far better than similar games like this.
But what does at its best is the graphics: The heroine is beautifully drawn, the animations add an even more depth into it. It is just pleasurable to see her. Without looking like a 12-year-old child like other types of games like this. The heroine is well made and beautiful.
The combats are not complicated and if you kill an enemy, they won't reappear like in other games. I even did not notice the censorship either, it is like not really there. I wish the male characters appeared and be drawn just as her, but seems it is like that in Japan.
It was a pleasure to see the heroine and the corruption is good.
Great game to play on an evening or two!
I wish the developers will make the second episode too, or a similar one.

This is a hard rating for me. I know the game lacks a lot of depth and ends on a very blank slate. But this reminded me of a shorter Noxian Nights. Still very turned on throughout her fall in the story. Some solid H scenes. Just needs to have more of a main story.

Is not that bad for the sex content, there are events that each time triggered a sex scene lewder.

Don't expect much from the gameplay, the fighting is super easy and somehow very slow. Also the maps feel empty with not that much to do or discover.

"Dopamine per Second Review"
[1.50/5 x 20%] Story. Incosistent and Poorly paced Corruption.
[1.00/5 x 10%] Gameplay. Standard RPGMaker
[3.50/5 x 50%] Visuals. Uncensored. Close to animated.
[2.50/5 x 20%] Sound and Music. Voiced Scenes.
=Dopamine Release Operating at [ +53.0% (2.65/5) ] Capacity!

Good-to-Great drawn directed and voiced scenes but incosistently corrupted mc with her decent not impacting how the conflicts are actually resolved.

In terms of plot, setting and sex, this is just an average game with everything we've already seen hundreds of times before. A lewd knight finds some trouble and has to earn money, but to earn money she has to get sexually harassed. What makes this game below average are the bugs and the fact that the girl already enjoys the whole thing from the start. There's such a huge leap from not wanting to cheat on her boyfriend to just straight up begging for cock. The NTR content of this game is also very weak. Lias's boyfriend doesn't look like a boyfriend. The game just says he is and that's it. They have no chemistry and the game doesn't give you a reason to care about him. He's just there for the purpose of adding the NTR tag to the game.
Speaking of bugs, there are many of them, the worst one being how the game just closes itself if you try to save at a specific spot. Luckily I saved the game beforehand, but if hadn't, that would've been game-breaking.

In conclusion, there's nothing special about this game and not even the art makes up for it. The anatomy is a bit goofy, especially Lias's pussy. It's not sexy at all. If you have low standards and don't mind the bugs, go right ahead, otherwise you can ignore this one.

Though not tagged as such the game is a quick NTR fix. CGs look nice and are easy to access as long as you apply the scene patch so you can view them.

RPGM games can be hit or miss in terms of pacing, and this one has a combination of scenes that are easy to access due to the character being able to get corrupted easily but the combat is long and unnecessary.

The story is a basic NTR plot line of "Earn money, will you do it the good way by tediously fighting enemies and not corrupting yourself or corrupt yourself to earn a lot of money fast".

If you want to spend about an hour to see all the scenes and get a quick NTR fix then the game is passable, the art style is the one thing carrying it as the story itself is nothing special and the RPGM style really putting a damper in pacing, although I will say it's better than most as it puts exclamation marks above NPCs or areas to advance the story.

The best thing I can say about this game is that it's heavily inspired by Clymenia. The CG quality is excellent and the corruption erotic scenario writing is right up there with Clymenia. There is some good scenarios in here.

So why is Clymenia 5-stars and this one 3-stars? There is no 'game' in this 'game', the story isn't as neat and fleshed out enough to give context to the porn segments, and there are so many signs of an unfinished/unpolished game such as huge explorable areas that are empty without a purpose. I still played it because the erotic content was great, but it takes way too long to get there and it's not fun getting through it. There would be like 10 minutes of un-fun grinding and walking for like 1 minute of a good scenario.

Good:
- Love the art work
- Like the nipple play scenes
- Story progresses smoothy
- Has a gallery (which make it pretty easy to find all of the scenes)
- You can play without a walkthrough (something I greatly appreciate and I think is underrated).
- Lots of talk about this being MTL, but honestly, the MTL is as good or better than some of the ESL games I've seen on here.
- The sexy bits are an integral part of the story (compared to some Japanese games where you only get the sexy bits if you lose the fight).

Bad:
- Game crashes so save frequently. Happened to me 4 or 5 times - I didn't identify a pattern to pre-crash behavior.
- The ending isn't translated. WTF?!? Actually, not that big of a deal, since you can kinda guess what happens, but still . . . pretty major FU to not translate the ending!

TL;DR - If your game crashes and you forgot to translate the ending, you're gonna lose some stars. Fairly entertaining / distracting game (good thing), but nothing award winning here. A fun play - so download and get to it.

Very poor map design and lots of bugs. Have to use Patch to see the scenes, but in the gallery I still get errors and have to load the save again.
Dialogue is at least not MTL, but could still use a lot of work.

This game is probably closer to 4.5 stars for me. The greatest thing about this is that it doesn't just jump into sex, and there's a steady corruption that builds up the anticipation. The reason I put 4 stars is that the fighting can be a bit grindy, and a few of the scene replays seem to bug out.

However even with those minor gripes, it's a game worth playing, and worth supporting imho.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable game.

Excellent artwork, a solid translation, and fair gameplay contribute towards a solid experience. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys HRPG games.

The corruption mechanic in the game also appears to be well done. The only part I would recommend improving is the battle system which can drag on for some time.

Pros
Not MTL
Nice character models and CGs where they exist (btw use the patch for missing CGs)
Corruption, my favourite type of game here
When you find them, the follower scenes are cool
Simple plot so straight into the action (this is a huge con for some but I prefer it over an extended uncompelling story)
I liked the attempt at story choices (i.e. what to do with bandits at start) but (CON) the vast majority of the other choices are "see CG or dont see CG"/"Progress story or don't"

Cons:

Map is boring. Just make a more concise city map with most of the locations. No sense in a city having nothing but a photo studio and another with only a brothel.

English is better than MTL but its also clearly not proofed by a native speaker and it does suffer from awkward language. A native English re-script would help the game a lot.


Scenes where the mc is unconscious or otherwise oblivious somehow affect the kindness/guilt meter (the 'kindness' and 'guilt' parameter terms are also stretched beyond definition). This is just bad in any corruption game.

Scenes are a little cliche but that doesn't matter too much to many people. I too like the town harassment corruption thing but bath peeping, armor fitting, bar waitress, etc... have been done to death. There's nothing here to elevate them.

checklist rpgmaker for the most part (i.e. go here, there, there and there then sleep) with combat (tbh currently a complete non-thing). Save time for the player and make it on Renpy or another visual novel engine if you can.

Corruption so far is very shallow, pink flashes on the screen just don't trick me into believing the character is getting more corrupted. Feels like the character had already been corrupted.

Story is dubious. Not chasing up on the nun for the money. Not forcing the rich guy to give the stone. Maybe acknowledge these possibilities in game say why not.
