Wolf RPG - Completed - Pronant Symphony [Final] [E.B.]

Cried at the end of the good route. I didn't expect what seemed like a simple RPG to become so good after the first half. Bear with the slow start. Sadly though, there's almost no H content in the good route.

Gameplay ★★☆
Typical RPG elements such as weapons, skills and armor upgrades are all present. Completionists will find themselves right at home here, and you will be greatly rewarded for both exploring and revisiting previous areas.

Certain mechanics felt a bit obscure at first and could've been explained more clearly. The translation holds well for the vast majority of the game but you will, on occasion, bump into untranslated or poorly translated bits - nothing that detracts from the story but something to keep in mind.

Combat ★★★
Fighting enemies feels snappy and satisying. The Field Mechanic adds an interesting twist to battles, and feels extremely rewarding to take advantage of in difficult battles.

Adjusting the party composition and their skills as you descend into hell is a blast. Certain weapons or attributes work better in certain places, and you'll have a good time building the ultimate team as you break into more difficult areas.

Story ★★★
By far where Pronant Symphony shines. Exploring the Pandemonium alongside the four sisters and observing their interactions is a precious experience. Perhaps by the end of it all, revenge won't be the only thing on your mind anymore.

Ero Content ★☆☆
The weakest part of the game, with the vast majority of the scenes locked behind the "evil" route. Unsurprising given the nature of the game but, while the art is great, the sounds also leave a lot to be desired. Players looking to play Pronant Symphony primarily for the adult content will be fairly disappointed.

Conclusion ★★★
Pronant Symphony is an amazing plot-driven journey. Starting as a simple revenge story, this game grows into something far beyond that - an epic and magical adventure involving self-discovery and... if you so choose, redemption.

If you're looking to fill the void left by games like Black Souls, Demons Roots or Monster Girl Quest, you've come to the right place.

Underrated, Story is great, have option to be good or evil. but damn, the storyline is pretty you know... indescribable... really good . i just wonder why i didn't get emotional, i didn't even shred a tear, just a bit sour? am i a psychopath or lack of empathy or emotionless?

I guess this game is mostly Philosophy and Demonology stuff, it's recommend if you into these topics, most interesting RPG i had played.

If you wanted H-scene, this game might not suitable for you, cause it's more story-focus than hentai stuff. What can i say... be nerd or pervert, yeah... learn more thing about the Philosophy and Supernatural stuff: Rape all girls and big the most evil being. Nerd material is great, but hentai stuff you know...not very beautiful or admirable... So...yeah, this game is for learning i guess...

A complete RPG, pretty fun and the characters are the best many routes with diferent outcomes and very enjoyable, almost perfect in my opinion the combat sistem is good as it can be and i hope someday to find another RPG like it, this one is a must play if you like this genre.

The game is carried by the 4 heroines and their discussions with each other. However, the setting is not interesting, other characters are non existent. Add to that a grindy gameplay that feels like a massive waste of time.
Worst offender however may be the MC. His constant emo attitude quickly became boring to not say irritating (even his portrait, that you unlock on NG+ is emo/cringe). I'm pretty tolerant to bad MC, so me noticing it is an impressive feat.
In the end, a few dialogues between interesting characters that you unlock after tiring battles with an underdeveloped universe and an emo/cringe MC does not make this game worthy of your time.

So I'll start this off by saying I went the good path. So I did not do any raping or bad guy stuff to keep a "pure heart" because doing any bad stuff at all made you a bad guy. This game played as a good guy isn't even an H game, you get 3 scenes all at the very end of the game. My game was over after 12 hours. So 11 hours of just an okay RPG. The art is also just okay, nothing impressive, nothing offputting. The combat is again, just okay. I stuck through it because I wanted to see the end, and at about 60% through the game I thought I was about done. The last 30% I just wanted it to end because I had stopped having fun and just wanted to see credits to write this review. All in all, practically not an H game and I feel like I've wasted a ton of time.

21 hours for irito's ED, 36 hours for true ED. I don't exactly play fast. Maybe my sense of time is off from sinking god knows how many hours into xpiratez, 20 hours doesn't feel like a lot lol.

I dunno about others, if I don't go overleveling the lower levels get pretty involved, not paying attention to the field status has made me reload a few times. True Pandemonium difficulty really makes you think about your loadout, if nothing else.

Main story's pretty easy to just blitz through though, if you don't play slowly like me; sub 15 hours first run should be possible, i just like going in circles.

Only 4/5 because... there's like one consensual scene at the ending (for each of the girl-specific endings) and none others (it's all rape, and call me weird but i'm not here for that). It's definitely a game you play for the plot, not the "plot," unless you're a big fan of more realistically handled rape.

Pronant Symphony [Final] [E.B.]
A game certainly original but quite boring.
It may not be the funniest game in the world, but it has gameplay that sets the game well apart from the crowd.
The strong point of the game are the endings, really beautiful. In my opinion one of the h-games with the best endings, only problem with endings is that many are practically a copy of the previous ending. In short, the number of endings could very well be reduced.
The weak point of the game are certainly the h-scenes, not at all satisfactory or beautiful to look at. The commands are also limited (mind control) and have very few scenes. Boring gameplay.
I recommend the game more for story and ending than for gameplay or h-scene.

I came for the plot, I stayed for the plot.

I left with very little plot overall but I can still remember the plot in vivid detail.

Above average gameplay, excellent progression and generally a huge amount of content to explore. Admittedly the hentai aspect is lacking, but honestly I really enjoyed the game, story and the world.

One last thing - the game's music is pretty amazing, 100% recommended.

Don't come into this game expecting H like me. Sure, Fuck off!

But if you can get pass that, the world is rich and the stories are there for you to explore. I still prefer SEQUEL franchise when it comes to world exploration and stories though. Well, different premise anyway.

So, with that out of the way, the game is 2.5/5 for me so I round it up to 3 stars.

Not really sure where all the good reviews come from. I found this game super boring, grindy and not worth the effort. Scenes are literally mediocre to the point in pains me. Combat is unoriginal, like in all jrpg's but there isn't even a twist. No way to skip dialogue. I got bored after 30 min and thanks god because after looking in the files it would have been such a waste of time.


Art 2.5/5
Story 2/5
Gameplay 1/5
Fapability 1/5
Originality 2/5

I get this two stars because the story is decent. It's very much a JRPG game, so if you're into that you'll probably like those elements.

The sex in this is pretty much non existent, to the point I'd say it almost doesn't even belong on a porn site. Don't get me wrong there are sex scenes but they are just a couple stills with some dialogue. I'm fine with just still in porn games if it's done well, in this case it' not.

Huge turn off for me, is there is an objectively huge amount of grind in this game. Too much to make it enjoyable in my opinion.

YMMV, but if you're not a fan of hard grind underdeveloped sexual encounters stay you probably won't like this.

good game, suprisingly deep. i love the artsyle and the use of colours. like a watercolour painting. CG looks good and dialogue is good. I dont usually play games like these. hes not like that. but He

It is an excellent game in relation to the story, the soundtrack, it has a quality scene, the bad thing does not allow you to skip the text quickly. the new game plus adds a couple of things, but don't expect too much. personally I only took the good ending, the super good and the very bad ending. with the others I downloaded a saved game to see them

Played the Final Version, and only the good route, up to Irito's ending.

From my own experience, it's a great game. The story's well written that it carries the entire game (especially since the good alignment route barely has h-scenes). At times I even forget that I'm playing an h-game. The characters are compelling, and while tropes are in play, the narrative uses it well. Great art too.

The gameplay isn't unique, but has great execution.

All in all, this is a hidden gem.

To preface: I have played this through 3 times, 1st was good, 2nd was good special end, 3rd was turbo evil.
The other reviews do a great job of showcasing what is good, the characters are marvellous and the story is solid and coherent albeit kinda bland. With that in mind I feel there hasn't been enough criticism so I'm here to provide.

Size and Scope:
This game is fucking enormous. Generally more content is good, this is a JRPG so remember that everything is locked behind a grind or full of random encounters. You will at some point realise that perhaps they should've cut the floor count in half. Especially if you intend to do multiple playthroughs or want to unlock all the weapons (its not remotely worth it).

Gameplay:
While some aspects of combat are genuinely interesting such as "field" modifiers, equipment/skill mastery, and skill management, this is still a JRPG and every fight is still just a stat check or, more commonly, spam CC and debuffs. The "pronant" skill as an overworld ability sounds really cool on paper but devolves very quickly into "spam 1 on every npc for treasure". I still do not know how but somehow boss fights are worse than random encounters. As much as I bitch, I can't criticise this too harshly as its a massive step up from RPGM combat but goddamn I wanted to slam my head into my desk after every time I forgot to equip some ring that changes my damage taken per turn from 90 to 2. Also lmao Serafina can't heal outside combat so you might as well never use her since Niva is a busted buff/debuff slave and melees are like 10x stronger than the mages.

Pornography:
I'm gonna be real, if I get a game from DLSite or F95 I am doing so to violently crank my hog to anime women. I feel like the 18+ content only exists in this game because it would be too unbelievable for you to have mind control powers, 4 hot (not)sisters as companions, and not spend the entire time outside of dungeon crawling dumping your hot seed in every orifice.
There is a severe lack of wankable scenes even if they are generally very pretty. Most scenes go as such: rape snakes, rape tentacle, rape bandit, Demon Elon Musk rapes some annoying object, and lots of MC raping. It's err... a little heavy on a lack of consent and not in a good way. Rape is handled a little more realistically and SURPRISE women don't generally appreciate rape. They don't "wow my hips won't stop moving, kimochii~" and kinda genuinely despise you for committing an act of sexual violence. Call me a vanillafag but my penis enjoys consent.

Moral of the story, Japan refuses to let good men get pussy, only ontologically evil mfs get some gash.
4/5 JRPG, 2/5 HRPG soul enjoyed, benis did not

Reviewed on the Final version of it.
Note : Keep in mind that I only play the good route and only achieves Irito's Ending at the time I'm reviewing this.


Story : Excellent

This is the story about an Alvs called Julius who once was a human seek a power in Pandemonium which is basically hell. Using his unique ability called "Pronant", he capable to control other people (basically hypnotism) and use it to control the four sisters. The problem is... Once he cast "Pronant", he can't relinquish it and not only that... He has low life span as well due to Alvs generally weaker than human. The main cause is... A demon lord that also the main source of "Pronant" power.

You know where this is going right?

However aside from that, each character is quite memorable and the interaction between them is also lively, not only that... They also have a character development, especially for Julius who is initially a jerk, but become a better person though quite a tsundere(?) until the very end (at least on the good route).

This is one of the strong part of this game. There's still a lot to discover though I'm that weird guy who came to play this game for gameplay lol and quite reluctant to play as bad guy.

Oh don't forget that you can also date the sisters if you don't do anything bad to them, trust me it's worth it.


Gameplay : Great

The gameplay is your typical RPG game, but have some twist on it. Here's some :

Introducing a "Field Mod" where you can see what kind of element is on play in that turn. For example, when Water "field" is activated, you water-based skill will deal significant amount of damage and this also apply to the enemy.

Alongside for that, there's also "refining" mechanic which if you use skill multiple times, your skill count will increases which allow you to use that skill multiple time in one session. Not only that, your equipment also get "refined" if you keep using it for prolonged amount of time.

It should be noted that mana point acts like a second health bar in some cases, sure it's still being used for skill, but mostly for things about healing and unique skills.

Aside from battle itself, You can collect materials, synth item, getting treasures, grind, interacting with your party member at inn.

There's also mechanic that incentivize you to stay longer in dungeon to gain better reward such as getting XP and Gold boost as well as post-exploration reward to unlock new skills.

TL;DR : Your typical RPG, but expanded in an unique way.


Art : Good

The artstyle is quite unique on this game. There's some awkward character art that kinda threw me off, but the art is good overall. I especially adore Julius's standing picture and when in battle (You would know it after completing it once, or by browsing this forum I guess).

Music : A Fine Choice

The music selection of this game is really good. Some of them I do recognize because I did visited some website in the past. It compliment quite well in most area and I also liked that music also get incooperated as an important tool for story in this game too.

Damn it, Irito's music box music is still lingering after finishing this game.

Oh and the date music... That's one of my favorite music.


Bug : Some ants

Even the final version have some bug, like calling wrong picture in a date (While dating Julie, somehow Irito's there lmao, cannot escape her I guess...), some text have incomplete command to call character's name, etc. Well that sometimes happen I guess...


Overall : A great (almost ordinary) game

Well... for an H-game, it definitely feels like playing ordinary game due to lack of H-related stuff if you played the good route. Different story if you choose the bad guy though... But if you came for the story and character as a JRPG, I recommend this to you. If you came for H-stuff, this is probably not a game for you...

A game where you play as a demon and choose either good or evil path.I only played as good protag, so i cant say whether or not evil path has decent story, but good one certainly does.Combat system is a bit lacking, but it has original take regarding the field mechanic.I felt like deepest pandemonium levels where underdeveloped and almost empty so i was a bit disappointed clearing them. Also final bosses and all demon side character have an interesting personality.H scenes are rather mediocre, so i don't recommend playing this game for them only.I enjoyed this game and will remember Irito's music box OST for a long time.

The h scenes are pretty bad but the story more than enough makes up for it. You don't get many h scenes if you decide to go the good path. There are a few difficulty spikes that make the game a bit grindy the art and music for this game is also very good. I would say this game is worth playing. To summarize good story good art and good music but a few difficulty spikes and a few errors like a little chunk of the text being in Japanese in the evil route, but it is a small chunk and nothing too bad.

Final

A JRPG where you play a demon with mind control powers who has enlisted four sisters to help him regain his powers. You descend through the dungeon, leveling up, finding better gear, with a lot of hidden secrets to uncover. The plot is interesting and the music is good. The H-scenes area few static images and some squishing sound effects. The gameplay is average for a JRPG, but the grind is unbearable. I couldn't endure it and the rest of the game doesn't keep me motivated to push through the grind.
