RPGM - Completed - Princess Knight [v1.08] [happypink]

The art and animations are reasonably hot. The different approach to hypnosis is at least interesting. But that's about all it has going for it.

This is one of those rare games that removes random encounters and just lets you auto-win against them. Unfortunately, it decided to take the time saved grinding random encounters in battles by making you grind more. Grinding is quick but you still need to do it, as boss battles still exist, and defeating enemies is required to get the stones needed for dispelling stones, which is the source of H events.

The H events are also very grindy. To gain lewdness it's necessary to collect them from random citizens, and this results in a lot of repetition. There's like 3 animations per body part, and these are mixed and matched between the dozens of citizens that interact with her and the multiple H levels. So everything looks very familiar, quickly. There's barely even any text difference between citizens.

Even the boss battles are grindy. They inflict additional hypnosis curses on you, which requires either repeating the fights or dragging them out to let it build up.

The scenes are hot in a vacuum but actually unlocking them is a slog and barely adds any meaningful context. It's strange that the developer added one anti-grind mechanic (instant win battles), but then threw in all of the other time wasters. What's the point of the daily time limit when there's no day limit? What's the point of charging gold to make dispell stones in the field? Why do monsters drain both HP and time? Why does every rest area need to be upgraded separately?

The only way to play is to load a save file and watch the gallery.
Trying to play the game normally? Crash on the first scene from a missing file, even though that file does exist??? Yes. Literally. The devs really f*cked up here.

Trying to apply the patch? Nope that doesn't fix anything either. It just adds translations, nothing else.

The game itself is excellent—definitely one of the better titles focused on hypnosis, possibly even among the best out there. However, there are two main issues that hold it back: bugs and a rather poor translation.

Game Issues:

The primary bug seems to be related to the idle animation, which can fail randomly. I believe that as the game gains popularity, these bugs will likely be addressed, so I have high hopes for future updates.

Translation:

The translation leaves much to be desired. It’s clear that a tool like GPT can’t capture the full context like a skilled human translator would. I noticed several issues, such as incorrect pronouns, misused subjects, wrong translations, and awkward phrasing. After reviewing the Japanese version, it’s evident that the formatting complicates things further, making the translation noticeably worse than other GPT translations I’ve played. If you want to fully engage with all the text boxes and immerse yourself in the game, you’ll find it quite challenging. While the translation is a step up from basic machine translation, it still falls short in many areas. Plus, as of this review, there’s a significant amount of untranslated text scattered throughout.

Overall, despite these drawbacks, I still believe the game has great potential and hope for improvements in future updates! I actually hope a publisher like Kagura Games picks it up and does it more justice than a prompt.

I usually don't like hypnosis games, because you usually don't have many options of what to do. But that's not the case with this game. You can finish it, basically skipping almost the entire hypnosis part (just don't save anyone). I like that it's possible to finish the game and keep the protagonist "pure". It'll take a long time to grind, but it's possible. The H-scenes are good, and the hypnosis interactions are too. I wish there was more development in the exhibitionism part, but that's just me. It's a game that you can do everything in in 5 hours at most.

One of the best games I've played, and I don't even like hypnosis themes.

They wrapped the hypnosis around the gameplay, and they're tied together. It must have been a fuckton of work to do, this game. I applaud the dev, honestly.

There are some things here and there that would be better with some tweaking, but it would also make the game more complicated than it needs to be imo.

Only thing that I'd like to see and didn't, was more changes to the citizens as word goes around. For example, people doing things on purpose, or acting cursed, so that the princess does lewd things with them, stuff like that.

I'd also like more of a backstory with the citizens, maybe some citizen that's been obsessed with her, or something more specific like this.

I'd also like some costume changes as the hypnosis progresses, maybe more revealing variations of the original outfit or something.

But no matter what I missed or any shortcomings (there are some bugs here and there), I can't rate it anything less than 5/5 this is a proper game.

PS: It's fully animated, but even if it wasn't, I'd still rate it like that for the reasons above.

Enjoyed this game more than i dare to admit..... 5 hours straight to unlock pretty much everything. although im a little annoyed that the commentary of the gradual corruption the town felt more of an afterthought. Certainly would buy this if its ever officially translated

Quality RPGM eroges are really hard to come by, this one is definitely worth your time. Great animated art, simple gameplay and nice albeit a little fast pace of corruption, executes your typical RPGM corruption game quite well. Although there's nothing exceptional here, there's quite a bit of content which makes up for it.

It's a very enjoyable game. At first it scared me off a bit as I thought it was a strange visual. But in the game everything looks great. I love the theme of hypnosis and mind control. In the game in a measure of grind (can be much more) From the minuses I can highlight only that the stages of perversion and the hypnosis itself is not enough.

This game is very close to greatness. The gameplay loop is interesting, the animations are stellar and the whole premise is really nice. I like how main heroine gets progressively hypnotized not only in the plot but also during boss fights and the ramifications begin to go everywhere. I enjoyed this game for the whole playthrough which was around 4 hours and where I got pretty much everything I could. Very solid thing.
BUT
Boss fights were incredibly difficult and it didn't really feel like I was underleveled, especially with how long levelling is in this game. It gives you some great farming spots (werewolves, my beloved [no sex scenes with them tho ://]) and yet beating the goblin gang was an absolute slog despite using the boss sex mechanic. Their dmg was just way too huge and mine way too little. But you can get through that so that's ok I guess. My biggest gripe is with underutilization of late-stage hypnosis. Main heroine is initially repulsed by any sexual acts but soon enough starts fucking everyone. That's cool. But then she gets even more corrupted and we kinda... don't really see it? She becomes turbo exhibitionist and we get 1 scene that uses it? (2 if you count hot springs but like, come on). Her brother wants to fuck hr senseless but after doing it twice it's over? THE ONLY ENDING IS A GOOD ENDING EVEN WHEN SHE HAS ALL SEX STATS MAXED?? When I play a corruption game I like to see the corruption taking hold and actually changing the heroine. Especially hypnosis corruption. And yet here we saw that she gets deeper and deeper into this state to no avail in the end.

I guess what I mean to say it is that this is a great game that I wish I could play a bit more of. Despite my complaints, that's still 4.5/5 and must play ^^

Amazing game! Fully animated, you are on your mission to free citizens from a hypnotization curse (while the hypnosis inside yourself is growing stronger every time you do) and during the process you get sexually harassed and fucked in every way imaginable. The visuals are simply amazing, the situations and dialogues kinky af and the progression is smooth and doesn't require tons of grinding. The female protag scene has been real quiet recently so this is such a nice change of pace, and seeing that this has been almost 4 years in development it really paid off. If there's an official english release, I will definitely pay a few bucks to show my gratitude.

Honestly this game ticks all my boxes. Not super long fking corruption due to the low-hanging fruit of the hypnotism that some would complain, i genuinely like the pacing of this. Small fry enemies literally doesnt go into a long fking boring ass battle, you just fking run across the bitch and it dies easily.

The voice acting behind this is good too, I like the animations and the different creatures you can fk with. This has shota as well, not my cup of tea but still like it regardless. (goes to show how much this game is good for me). I just unlocked the blue wearing character, not sure why are her scenes came out with a NTR warning, but main character doesn't have any NTR reference in it, and the blue wearing chick is not part of the main animation line.

I like this author, imma give him a 5/5 for this game

Once in a blue moon a good game like this comes without any prior anticipation and announcement. Its good, and deserve nothing but 5 stars when compared to other games in this site.

That said, there are some things I wish this game implement better. Bugs happen after viewing some CGs. And the amount of grind at the end portion of the game is too much. I also wish there would be changes in the costume as the FMC gets gradually corrupted.

But still, the game as it is is ... good enough. This is one of the rare games that makes me feel compelled to purchase it legally.

This is a solid game. I did not 100% it, but got fairly close in a single playthrough (~1h30 by skipping a fair bit of dialogue). I also played it on joyplay with a pretty big amount of slowdowns, but nothing you can't power through with sheer power of will.

Gameplay:
The gameplay loop is relatively fun.
You need to farm some ingredients to craft the item that gives you the H-Scenes. Not too grindy at the start, but towards the end it gets a bit tedious (maybe I missed something).
You go through a number of zones, all with the same basic idea of exploring, getting materials and some H-Scenes with a final boss at the end.
It only gets repetitive towards the end, which could be way worse.
The menus are a bit clunky, but nothing too terrible.
Overall, the gameplay gets a 7/10.

Art and H-Scenes:
The art is good!
The characters' proportions aren't the maxed out sliders, but are still very anime-esque. To nitpick some more, sometimes the characters' faces are a bit odd looking, or some joints are odd.
The H-Scenes are good, but they aren't too varied, which is alright for a short game like this one. There are several variations of your classic positions. There are some battle-H for the boss fights. The scenes are animated and voiced, which is a welcome sight. Some animations could have used some more polish, but nothing to complain about.

Overall, the art and H-Scenes get a 8.5/10 for me.

Notes:
The main focus of the game is hypnosis, but not in the classic sense of "do as I command" and done (although there are a couple of scenes like this in the game). So keep this in mind if you really hate this kind of thing.

TL;DR: Good gameplay, a bit grindy towards the end. Very good art and animated H-Scenes, although there aren't that many.

I honestly can't give a lower score than 5, although I'm not 100% satisfied with game.
Seriously... it has everything I was looking for in a game of this style. Everything.
It has a lot of animations, and beautiful animations, the progression is somewhat nice, I have issues in this regards, I mean...
It does has a somewhat slow progression, but it goes fast all of sudden... it's not like a ONE ONE 1 game, in which girls become sluts in a second, but this one took 3 seconds, and she's still not "all slut"
Dunno if we can control it better, or something, but I thought it rushed too fast after taking 30 minutes in the game... some good corruption games take at least 1 hour before having access to sex, for example
I found the art too exagerated in some aspects... the butt is perfect, juggles well, has a lot of meat, is perfect, but some breasts scenes are too big and they're not ugly enough, but it could be a little bit smaller...
Overall, yeah, it's a fantastic game like no other. It could be better in some aspects, but it's so good and I have yet to find a lot of animations after so much time spent
And it's not even boring, I mean, the combat is fine, the grind is "walk into the enemy, raise exp, reforge, train" and then you have to manually face the boss, which is a complain of many players, but you have access to a lot of itens to help on this, so it's not a problem at all.
You'll have fun with no regrets, I assure you.

Pretty standard nukige with minimal plot and basic rpgm combat.
Positives: nice looking animations and art
Negatives: in order to see sex scenes in later part of the game you have to grind magical stones from enemies.
Whole game took me 4 hours to complete. There are ~40 unique H-scenes + plus a lot generic repeating ones.
The only interesting thing in the game I found is that bosses can cast unique hypnosis curses on MC during combat, which results in some light battlefuck mechanics. But it is quite buggy and rudimentary, and there are only 5 bosses.
All in all, this eroge is average in every way, there is nothing inherently bad or good here.

One of the best Hypnosis exploration RPG-lite H games out there right now.

With a heavy emphasis on Hypnosis and large breasts (Not as large as Karry's Prison), Princess Knight delivers on some really great animations and erotic kinky situations revolving taking advantage of conditional hypnosis rules and such.

Battles are a breeze with the small fry enemies dying quickly with no turn-based battle sequences. Only the boss fights have turn-based battles.

Completing quests like curing citizens inflicted with the hypnosis curse actually rewards you with H-scenes (They grope and fuck you as a part of the curse removal process lmao).

And as always, the GPT Translation magic by Dazedanon is nearly good enough to be considered as a proper English translation. Of course it's still MTL by the end of the day, but it's definitely more legible and understandable than your run-of-the-mill MTL.



5/5 A no-brainer for anyone with large breasts and hypnosis fetish and a must try for anyone looking for great animated H content.

Finally some good fuckin food lewds

Translation: Yep it's Dazedanon, solid work as always. A bit of few oddities in the menus with text wrapping, but they did mention it had some jank in the OP. Maybe it'll get updated at some point, but the text itself is good.

Story : It's pretty basic. You just took over the crown, your bother wants it. He works with the hot succubus to do get it. Their plan of just hypnotizing you fails at first, because of course the MC is pure virgin girl who has never even touched herself. So they have to slowly hypnotize you instead - which they do by cursing other people, then telling the MC how to get rid of it which makes the curse actually go onto her. This results in increasingly more lewd hypnosis on her as she herself gets more lewd from the effects of getting groped and her ass slapped as she breaks curses from citizens.

Gameplay: It's a scene collector, but with a gameplay loop. The small enemies that would be random encounters just die instantly and take some hp and give you some materials. You then take those materials to your brother who turns them into anti-curse stones. You take these stones to break someone's curse. This results in her getting lewded. Outside of the hypnosis from those curses falling on you, there are also other ones that can get applied from things like bosses. There will be a quest to get herbs at the back of the tentacle cave but the MC won't do it, until she fights the tentacle boss and gets hypnotized that actually tentacles are perfectly fine.

H-Content/Art: It's mostly vanilla technically, but with a hypnosis twist. Basically everyone is stacked and has big anime tiddies, which I am totally fine with. I'm a simple girl and like boobs. The scenes are all animated, the voice acting is pretty good, and the art really sells the mindless trance thing when it's from a hypnosis effect.

Unless you just hate the theme or just can't stand tits as large as these designs, it's definitely worth the time.

A really excellently put together game that nails the feeling of discovery which makes a scene collector game, yknow, actually fun. The scenes themselves are executed very well with good progression and very nice animation. Definitely the best games I've played in over a year.

Excelent game. Gameplay is not too boring and not too complex. Full of animations and great plot for lewd game. The game which have created a perfect in game routine with lots of content. Can advice this game for sure!

Extremely worth your time.

While this is an RPGM scene collector-game, it nails almost all of the fundamentals of what you need to make this kind of game interesting:

• The animated character-art looks nice, but more importantly it's implemented with a strong direction. There's more than enough art to convey the main theme of hypnosis- and slow-corruption that the game is aiming for, and it's especially well used in the daily training-scenes. The game also has the character-art and the UI work together to convey visuals, which is a a step above the average presentation. On the negative side, the game does make use of speeding up looped animations, which usually doesn't come across that great, and it's not like they've got access to any especially good SFX either.

___

• The game doesn't just push it's scenes on you, but actively makes the "discovery" of them part of the core gameplay-loop. (collecting items to make crystals to unlock scenes) It's nothing that hasn't been done before, but it never feels like you're just picking scenes off a checklist, while the game also does it's best to have it's scenes spread out across the game-world, while also balancing making them easy to reach. There's a game and progression here.

___

• The writing is minimal, but not distractingly bad. One of the few complaints I would have is that the heroine and the characters in general are a bit too bland.
• The training-progression is well executed. The game does a good job of linking every aspect of gameplay into the "hypnosis"-theme, even if the execution isn't always the most satisfying.

Overall, one of the best MC-games this year, even if it's still similar to most heroine-games.
