RPGM - Completed - Princess & Conquest [v1.01 P2] [Towerfag]

this game's progression is awful, trying to play this for the first time feels like putting needles on your chair. the game has so many systems that all come at you at once and you have no time to properly process or make any progress with any of the characters you want in any meaningful way.
I wanted to progress the harvest princess, because i thought she was cute, she mentioned a bell she lost, so i went to go look around the scarecrow field. there are 2 doors accesible there. one of them is locked, with zero indication of how to open it. the other is permanently barricaded. so how do you progress with her? i can't get my affinity with her up since i literally can't visit her, and i have no clue what else i could do in the MASSIVE map that might progress this specific princess. so i end up walking aimlessly like a jackass for 2 hours with my only reprieve being the random npcs you can have sex with. i never found a way to progress her, i still don't know how. THERE'S NO GUIDES OR WIKIS. apparently there were 2 wikis, and one was even official, but they were both nuked for some reason, the only current wiki is so barren and janky you might mistake it for this game's combat, and there's no form of in game direction either.
so after stumbling around for 2 and a half hours not knowing how to progress any of the princesses and not willing to grind even a little, i have officially given up. game's art looks beautiful, and it is all buried beneath a sea of pointless roaming around with no direction

i'll be honest, i want to love this game- i already do in so many ways. as a proud monsterfucker this game has basically everything i want: monstergirls who arent afraid to actually make monstergirls proper, but also with pregnancy and offspring to boot. but i just struggle very deeply with analysis paralysis when it comes to the paths of waifu picking in this game, as well as the almost prohibitive cost of time investment that it takes. either of these things in a vacuum would be less of a problem. but together they make the perfect storm of my personal pet peeves.

i want dragons, kobolds, doggirls, goblins, all of that to all be riding my virtual dick. i get that the setup isnt meant for that, really, i do. but i also very badly want to not have to use workarounds like putting kobold princess away just to get access to dog princess, and THEN have to go on a whole quest/wild goose chase for a magic collar to make her mellow the fuck out so i she doesnt murder the rest of the party for daring to waft their estrogen my way like its an insult to her entire heritage- only to have all that be meaningless because i also wanna make sweet love to some such other princess.

most of the systems in this game have this problem, I want my kobold wife to fatten up to get her tig ol bitties to be even bigger? i need so much food that threatens to bankrupt me, and i have to fight an uphill battle with time and the very fast-lowering meter bar itself. i want to turn the sexy bunny princess into a super broodmama? either not in the game yet, or i have to jump through so many hoops i get frustrated, or spend more hours questing like an honest to God almighty hedge-knight to have even a crumb of her cooch, and even then i have to be weary of accidently stumbling upon a path incident that i cant walk back from and return to later (looking at you Dog princess) and have no choice but to default to a save from hours ago, and not just 1 or 2 from enjoying myself. no, i mean getting dangerously close to getting halfway passed the 4 hour mark. again, i must stress, this is especially bad with mechanics like trying to thicken up your waifu(r)s using food.
this game has the curse of Bungie. an immaculate, pristine and perfectly conceived idea, with execution after execution of these ideas fumbling juuuuust hard enough to be conflicting and divisive both in aggregate and internally to an individual. its deeply frustrating, and while i love this game and its ideas, i wouldnt have executed them in the way Towerfag and co has, and i also cant in good conscience because of that give it a higher score, even if i really... REALLY would have liked to.

im sure there's probably a perfect route where i can get all of what i want out of this game somehow, but as i said, the world being crafted has kind of reached a critical mass of time/effort investment requirement that this has become very hard. maybe in another age i will return to this game and become king of monstergirl-gondor and become the great genetic lynchpin of the whole realm like how most Englishmen are very, very distantly but nonetheless directly related to the first king of England and marry off my daughters to all of you absolute legends who took the time reading this tangent. but today isnt that day.

5/10, it could be so much more

Saw a lot of people finally taking down this game, so i can finally say why is down bad.
- Its the exact same repetitive mess most porn RPGMAKER games are, with disgusting amounts of grinding, attacks that get boring real fast, and in general, is way too slow in pretty much every single thing related to the gameplay.
- If you dont want to look at the story, is a ctrl simulator; with endless walls of text that mean nothing, every time, every second, every night. For any kind of writing you need design, and this game lacks any if there is any.
- No scenes, its a lie? True it is, but you will get them on 10 hours of gameplay, and i already look at them, they are dogshit and not worth any amount of time. And even if they werent dogshit, they arent worth in any way, the grinding is disgusting.

Its not a porn game, with total honesty. Its a test at best

I really liked the wide variety of characters, each with unique traits and styles. The different ways to play kept things fresh and fun. However, using the gallery felt a bit awkward and unintuitive. Overall, it's a well-made and enjoyable game that offers great replay value and creativity.

PROS:
Incredible animation quality and variety.
Likable characters and solid writing.
Vast amounts of content and potential paths.

CONS:
Zero respect for players time
Incredible amounts of repetitive grind.
Very clunky controls.
Worst gallery mechanic I have ever seen.
Requires a walkthrough open on second monitor.
Game RNG can lock you out of your desired goals with no way to prevent it.

The good parts are great but the game is ancient with so much tedium that I do not recommend anybody play more than one route without cheats.

There's a ton of content but good luck ever finding or finishing half of it. This is basically a game you play with the wiki open beside you the entire time if you value your time in the slightest, because the game itself doesn't explain shit. Even the simplest of quests turns into a chore of wandering around aimlessly until you find the right event trigger or hidden location to progress things. Meanwhile the active world can randomly block out content as you blunder around as the princesses declare wars on each other; and if one gets conquered and killed (and this can happen VERY quickly) that's it for their questlines and route until you start a new game.

It's a shame because the animations and sheer number of them are nice, but even here they have to make it tedious with the absolute worst gallery system I have ever seen. Every time you want to view a single animation you have to talk to an NPC and mash through some dialogue, because even her they threw a questline and grind in front of it. You can cheat unlock this fortunately, but it still makes viewing all the animated scenes take about 20 times longer than it needed to be.

This game is a 5/5 on paper, but a 2/5 in execution.

Unfortunately this game with the possibility of being a good game is currently bugged. Every time it turns night, a dragon will come down and freeze you, preventing you from using the camp which allows you to level up/progress events. I would wait until this game is fully released before giving it a try again, as in its current state tis nothing but a broken game

I have 87.2hrs of this game on steam... and this game is everything I wanted and everything I don't want at the same time, its like that every pro that this game has comes with a but that makes me bored just by thinking in dealing with it.

Also let's not mention that the game could use a lot less features and mechanics that it currently has.

Like this:

Hundreds of sexy monster girl sex? Hell yeah!
Insufferable quests and annoyingly cheesy ways to acquire them? Ffs...

A gallery that keeps track of all scenes you got in all your playtroughs? Yeah!
The gallery is a chore to access and its a bore to see multiple scenes? Yea...
(srsly just give us the memory room that shit does its job perfectly, no need to create an entire storyline just to access the gallery...)

A stupid amount of side-quests, content and an entire simulated world? Great!
Everything is slow as hell thanks to it? Yeah...

Inifinite and cumulative amounts of NG+ so you can play multiple routes while questionably getting stronger? Yeah!
Having to play trough the slow-ass story from 0 all over again, specially when you need/want to save specific NPC's due to time mechanics? Yeah...

So yeah... by the time I'm writing this I've done 1 single route, Wyvern Princess's, which is supposed to be a "secret" route, but I stumbled across it since while trying to find any route other than Kobold/Dog's its either really annoying or quite hard, and I usually reset the playtrough by going on the turtle shell cuz I wander around so much that the kingdom becomes a mess.

P.S: Recruiting Moth princess is annoying af

Hell yeah. Fantastic pixel art animations, good character designs, a respectful MC, and actual gameplay? ...Okay, those last two are a pretty low bar, but they feel worth mentioning given the state of adult games. I'm not here to give a lengthy review, but more to give the overall rating a little bump because I really like this game. The princesses' plotlines are fun, and I've enjoyed the Routes I've played so far; I feel like the devs really care about the world and characters they've made.
(All that said, while the game seems to encourage experimentation and providing replay value, there's a wiki and Steam forums you can turn to if you really want everything to be perfect. Play however you want, I'm not your dad.)

It's... fine I guess

I'd say the 2 biggest drawbacks of this game are: severe lack of documentation/guides/wikis and slowness/clunkiness in EVERYTHING

- Story (more like individual princesses' stories) is alright, but they have LOTS and LOTS of steps, and where are you going to look up a route guide if there aren't any/are outdated??

- Gameplay is SLOW: map is BIG, autosprint is not enabled by default, there are tiny off-putting delays when interacting with practically anything, attacking is clunky and SO SLOW, menus are slow, resource collecting is slow.

- Many confusing mechanics; there are some kind of beach scenes, which I don't know how to see; the sewers don't seem to have a purpose; a Life Force mechanic that does... things; quests that are padded or confusing (grape quest, anything related to golems, gear collecting, underwater quests, the arena); an ice cave that can be cleared in 3 minutes and has an NPC whose sole purpose is to tell you to leave; the Bird Kingdom and its stamps; NPCs that seem important but aren't; the underground, which I could only reach through cheats; etc.

There are also mechanics like Corruption and Lewdness, which you're supposed to know... somehow. If you don't, they can just end your game. (at least you can turn those bad ends off)

- Some Princesses need convoluted methods to even meet them; getting to the sex stuff takes a nice while - it makes you wish there were more scenes for your hard work, and getting them pregnant is more busywork. I'm not sure if certain Progenies have scenes in the first place, and I can't even see their pregnant bellies (I understand it's more work, but I'm still capricious).

- The scenes are good, but don't account for pregnancy, which is a shame.

- The artstyle and character designs are nice.

- Soundtrack is a bit repetitive, feels like there aren't a whole lot of songs.

- The worst thing: I might just be impatient about many of these things, but I can't look up a guide or a wiki - all of them are scattered and either outdated or just have no information. There are no official wiki projects, either. Discord does NOT help with its search function.

If I could give this a 3-3.5/5, I would. But this is free for me, so be a little nicer, you tiny man.

I like pretty much of everything of this game. The influence system is very cool. The pixel animation are ok. The story is ok and fun some parts. Theres a lot of characters to intereact and build your own story. And the preg system are cool!
There's only two bad things for me: First is that the dev focus so much on new itens and costumes for the characters, instead of advancing more improtant things in the game.
Secondly, the use of the keyboard. Adult games normaly ppl play with only one hand, if you know what I mean.
I would give it four starts, but I had too much fun on this game, and that's the objective of the games; be fun. So full starts for it!

Personally out of most games I've played this one is the most memorable. good game, good animations and a fun not so serious story. You just pick a directions and trying something, I will say the only gripe I have is some parts feel like you'd need to read a wiki, and sometimes you do, but you can ignore the complicated parts if they aren't for you and trying your own method with some quests which I enjoy the most.

an excellent game that mixes hentai and rpg elements, with exploration, lore, combat and +18 content to pass the time, and many other details, achieving a perfect balance between genres and is my favorite game on my list

Princess & Conquest gives me an almost nostalgia like feeling in my soul. There's a lot to love here, but you have to be honest with the fact that it's almost a complete mess gameplay-wise. I feel like it almost tried to be too ambitious and took this interesting story, shoving it into an engine it wasn't exactly designed for and putting no signposts anywhere. Visually inconsistent, almost ugly looking at times, however a competent look towards everything princess-related. All of their characters are so fun and cute, not to mention well-written, exciting and wonderfully animated. Everything else is essentially an RPG Maker wasteland with some customized code.

Maybe you should go and get lost somewhere on the map. It might be a vibe. (It's not a big map, really.)

this is top notch!

• Well-written
• Visually stunning
• Features fantastic animated sex scenes

Playing Princess & Conquest is a wild ride! After hours of playing, I still hadn’t seen a single sex scene with a princess. The game’s progression is so convoluted that it feels like a giant, funny puzzle.

For example, on day 3 or 4, I had to check the wiki to figure out how to move forward with the Cat Princess's quest. Just after helping her win a battle, she got invaded, and now she won’t talk to me, which means I can’t advance our relationship. It’s so ridiculous that it’s almost funny. Her quest hides some awesome animations, making the whole thing feel like a hilarious treasure hunt.

The objectives are super unclear, and there are huge gaps between sex scenes, which just adds to the game’s unpredictable and fanny nature.

The battle mechanics are another source of comedy. For instance, the Kobold Princess won’t have sex with me or advance her quest even though she has high Lust and Love stats. But she’ll have sex with any enemy she encounters, It’s so absurd that it becomes part of the fun.

The game’s decisions are consistently surprising. The content hidden beneath the quirky design is top-notch, and while it forces players to rely on extensive wikis and step-by-step guides, it turns the whole experience stupide. T

The writing gets even funnier as you go. The protagonist, who has been with many characters, suddenly becomes shy and hesitant with new ones, which is so out of character that it’s laugh-out-loud funny.

This game might need a major overhaul to make sense, but its current state is a hilarious, chaotic mess that’s oddly entertaining. Instead of getting frustrated, I recommend using a cheat to view the gallery. It might not be as satisfying as experiencing the content naturally, but it’s far more fun and fits perfectly with the game’s funny and nonsensical vibe.

Well the game its good, i mean the gameplay its kinda fun with some thing ispired in souls games, But it has a lot of bug and errors that soflock you.
The desings are good but everything else is Meh. lack of content and animations not even fappable. it needs a major update so not recomendable for now 3/10
(Sorry for my bad english)

Lore: It's Good.

This game is made out of Routes. Almost each princess is planned to have a route that may or may not be important for the Real plot that witch we known not much of lol.

Routes don't give much but a bit of lore for that princess they are Not important except for a few, actually it makes the game harder becuse of it's Ng+ system.

• 8.5/10 for all it's worth the Lore is the best thing in this game becuse of how many routes there are.

Gameplay: It's mid.
Summary-this game has too much gameplay for not much gameplay.
Traits for the knight. The world. The combat. some Minigames. Exploration.

All of it is part of this game gameplay but the things that matter is the Combat, Traits & world and those are lacking, Combat is wacky (enemys often misses or don't have interesting moveset, just like you), the traits are grindy but the world is Big even more so when you visit everything at least once with how many Ng+ you'll be doing, you'll get a chance to see everything in due time but that diminish exploration.

• 4/10 the world's the only gameplay thing that's interesting here.

Replayability: its great but broken.

This game has a Ng+ ramp up making this game a grindy mess, but like the Lore its the most prevalant thing in the game.

each time you complete a route you Ng+ so when you have 11+ routes you'll notice that the game becomes too grindy and then Boring, Ng+ also don't give much and if you don't have an specific item you'll lose Everything you had in previus playthrough.

• 2/10 they should really let you upgrade your traits while also putting a Cap on how many Ng+ you can have, so that you don't die to 3 HITS from a BAT.

How fun it is: The fun is there.
Its one of the seven wonders of this game. with all of its problems is still fun.

That may be becuse of it's scale, there is always new things to do and places to see and princess to lay and slay, with so many characters, youre bound to find someone you like or relate and then get hooked on the game.

• 7/10 It WILL take a few hours out of you for better or worst.

Overall it's above mid, its not a game that you'll play then let go nor a game you'll remember as a masterpiece but a game that you can always come back to.

• 3/5 stars

I would rate this game way higher if it wasn't for its main flaw, this game loves to waste your time. After five hours I've barely gotten any guield quests done for the simple fact, you can only pick one at a time, it takes a whole day to be able to pick another AFTER you have gone back to them and finished a previous one (which means even if you got done with the quest you were one three days ago, you still need to wait one more day AFTER getting your reward for it). Not to mention the random events wasting even more time on completing quests.

I want to like this game, I really do but after spending over five hours on it. Is just so much stuff dragging it down. The battles are too easy and only waste time by having high health enemies or having you and the party be so low level (I genuine forgot how I level up for the first time, since it took so long and in my current save I'm only level 1 after five hours of gameplay). The quests can feel very arbitrary and jank in the ways you are meant to trigger them;
Random npcs you can fuck might not show if they are futa or not, leading to gifs you rather not see. Or that gifs that play can't be fast forward incase is one you have seen already and want to skip. You have to spend swirlies (money in the game) near constantly, and don't earn much at all from exploration, combat or quests (early on it least). You can skip a lot of unnecessary purchases but some are mandatory to complete certain quests or explore random places with no direct reward. Is much more I could go off on but in short. There is gameplay in this, but it doesn't feel engaging enough to deal with for hours only to get crumbs as the reward.

Now this ones a famous piece, probably running close to a decade now in development if not more. Here's my two cents;

PROS

- This is a real game, as in a real RPG game with quests, storylines, the whole cake. The sex is incidental, more like a reward than anything. Its like Hot Coffee in GTA.
- The game is massive. Even main quests takes hours to complete and assuming you're wanting to finish most if not all the quests available it'll prob take you in excess of 40 hours.
- The world feels believable. The princesses are at war with one another, can make peace, and their regime can be completely destroyed. Its all very fluid.
- Gameplay is fine, active time not turn based. A very niche way to doing RPGs
- Animation is good, above average and very fluid.
- Princesses can get pregnant, and you can technically fuck every princess, get them knocked up and then replacing them with your own daughters.


CONS

- The game tends to crash alot, at least in my playthrough. Make saves, and very often because you'll never know when the game will bugger you up.
- H scenes are subpar. Yes, there may be a load of variety but you cant hide the fact that what it boils down at the end is essentially a gif of maybe 3 seconds of repetitive frames before the climax. No meaningful VA, no interaction. Its just your choice of action and then the humping begins until it ends. At some point you'll be wishing theres a skip button, or you'll just not bother to do it entirely.
- Gameplay is fairly grindy in that both buying power and level ups depend on the same currency. Not to mention that most enemies fought naturally (and not via an OP dragonness) takes usually three hits minimum. And with hit boxes fucking with you what you essentially have is a clusterfuck where you're just kiting enemies endlessly while they absorb an unrealistic amount of punishment, especially the bosses.

Unsurpsingly then that the game is full of exploits, such as the aforementioned OP dragonness which you can absolutely get very early in the game. And if that doesnt settle it for you, this game has a surprisingly robust cheat system. Perhaps the devs anticipated its audience? Or perhaps the gameplay is actually shallow by design, masked by layers of grind.

- And finally, the biggest flaw Ive found with this game. Its too fucking slow. Everything from opening the menu, the many, many load screens, the fucking, the dialogues, its all very noticeably snail-like. Basically what Im saying is that this game makes you feel like youre playing a 90s gameboy game, like pokemon red/blue where everything feels like running through a bog. Perhaps unfair, considering the engine, the size/scope of this game. But its there, and should be pointed out.


CONCLUSION

Alright, so this game is far from perfect but I'll still say that its one of the better RPG+H games Ive played. The artstyle is very nicely done, girls have very nice curves and yet still maintain a certain undeniable cuteness. The music is varied, one for each town, and it has a certain 90s game music vibe to it in that its all very catchy and memorable.

Its just a shame that the combat is active time, because it absolutely could have been better as a turn based. Could give the girls more agency rather than simply act as eye candy while the knight (or more likely the dragonness) just solos everything himself. Three additional team members but it all really does seem more like you dragging your harem with you adventuring where their value doesnt go any higher other than as bunk mates.

More interactions with your team members other than just fucking them would be nice. Sometimes boners are gotten from simply talk and understanding, because lord knows we dont tend to get many of that in real life.

But can I recommend it? Yes, in fact you should consider paying for it if RPG games scratches that itch. Its one of a kind, and the devs deserves your support.

Only comparable game in terms of size/scope, and total game hours is strive for power. Nothing else comes even remotely close.

Enjoyed what I played of the game so far. The gameplay is engaging and the bustling world makes for a rather immersive experience. Finding items is also often more exciting than most rpgs given their sometimes rather strange and unique effects.

That said the game definitely has a few too many flaws to rate it higher. To start with, it doesn't run all that great. The progression and gameplay systems are often absurdly convoluted. There are sadly too many characters/plotlines that go nowhere. And the game lacks basic fetish toggles for even the obvious stuff like futa.
