RPGM - Completed - Quarta Amethyst [Final] [Kudarizaka Guardrail]

Probably the most exciting "erotic torture" and progressive undressing/light bondage RPG there is. Wide variety of enemies with their own erotic attack images and devices and debuffs they can inflict upon our girl. Too bad the combats can get pretty annoying if you let negative modifiers stack too much on your heroine so it really feels like she's in trouble, since that leads to constant interruptions.
I recommend installing some standard RPG Maker cheat package to insta-win some fights after you've had your fun to move on to new enemies.

Overall good game,probably what RPG games should be instead of glorified VNs,also incorporates battle fuck system for extra credit.

Soundtrack is mostly background and not really memorable but its not terrible or missing like in other games.

Characters have some limited character development.

After so long it was properly translated,I can remember first trying it a long time ago with MTL and barely anything could be understood.

Ok story that atleast is coherent unlike many others.

items and customization unfortunantly take a backseat in this as you cant change equipment or even the skin,items are almost irrelevant if you are careful you wont even need them.

The game suffers from the attrition warfare syndrome where the map is big,sometimes a maze with a lot of encounters that arent unique in the slightest,each area has 2-3 enemies and thats about it,they mostly are the same enemies with different skins.YOU WILL get tired of the grind and eventually just rush the maps.Maps are supposed to have certain side objectives to weaken the boss but the grind and boring enemies make it hard to get to some.

The combat is the holy grail that saves the game from being mediocre,battle fuck + status effects that some matter others not so much,defeat scenes are good and offer some hard to remove and meaningful curses as I like to call them,not all are that relevant but most are,no bad end or difference on repeat of defeat scenes,hero has some good skills and can buy more,overall decent.

I dont like the 5 star system which is stupid,the real one is 7.5/10

Very tame, as far as I got it was all just groping. I also just don't find the MC particularly attractive either. She's very bland while the other characters were much better. The gameplay was also boring, you either completely thrash them without effort or let them gently grope you. Just pick up a complete save and check out the gallery, though I personally didn't even bother with that.

It's a great game that slightly overstays it's welcome by being stale.

Pros:
-Corruption is good/ok, she's resistant to sex the entire way through
-Combat sex is nice
-Not much grind needed
-The translation is complete and is excellent, as you can see the FMC try to resist the sex attacks she recieves.
-TONS of sexual debuffs, from being doused in aphrodisiac to being horny
-There is a CG room that unlocks CGS even if you don't view them yourself while playing
-Your clothing can be damaged, hell yeah

Cons:
-There are a few base CGs for your ears, boobs, and puss. Every single monster has a variation of attacking "each zone". Early on, the writing is excellent enough for you to ignore it, but you can't help but notice it
-You can get stunlocked. So, the enemy can grab you and then molest you, raising your "pleasure bar". If that bar fills, you orgasm. If you orgasm, you get stunned and you can't act. While you are in bliss, the enemies can continue to molest you. That raises your pleasure. So, it's possible to be completely stunlocked and continuously orgasm to the point where it's actually faster to alt+f4 the game and reload your last save than to wait out the stunlock.
-"Game over" cgs. You can unlock them in the CG room, so it isn't a big issue, but you do end up feeling cheated out of a CG regardless.
-The corruption...doesn't "stay". The FMC is super resistant to sex but she does crumble after being molested multiple times in combat, but outside of combat she acts like everything is fine and dandy. There's no "bad ending" (apart from losing combat) for choosing to whore yourself out, you just do your job without faltering in the SLIGHTEST.

Subjective:
-Fairly straightforward game. While that means you can't get lost or whatnot, it also means there's no sidequests or "optional H-scenes" that the majority of other H-games have, like bartending or prostitution.

All in all, this game could have been really good with some polish here and there, but it falters by staying just a bit too long for the player to notice the scuffs and scratches. It's still a damn good experience, so probably a 3.5/5

There's a lot to enjoy here, with some of the games flaws only becoming apparent near the end. If you enjoy a heroine being mercilessly teased as she shamefully succumbs to her desires, this game will give you hours of enjoyment.

First and foremost, this game does what many fail to do: It makes the gameplay fun and erotic. Rather than sex scenes tacked onto standard RPG combat, here the creator blends the two from the beginging. Every fight is enemies teasing and taunting the heroine as she struggles to fight her growing desire. Each enemy attack comes with its own art, and there's even different scenes for different combinations of enemies, going above and beyond my expectations.

The areas and enemies are creative and unique, and I found myself constantly delighted. The second area in particular is extremely well-crafted, with a wonderfully foreshadowed boss fight that manages to pleasantly surprise. The whole game has a perfectly playful tone that ties it together and keeps it moving.

There is one major flaw in terms of game flow. Much erotic content comes from Defeat scenes, which also come with negative character traits, and resets some of your progress. These traits don't seem to unlock much content, often only making combat longer. You have to jump through gameplay loops (that aren't particularly interesting or erotic) to remove these traits and streamline the combat again, which is where the game becomes a bit of a slog.

When rushed, each enemy turn takes about 5 seconds, and you're often outnumbered 5-to-1 in combat. Suppose you replay an area and encounter the same unavoidable "trap". "Traps" trigger a combat where the enemy gets a free round, and you can't avoid anything they do. So you're unavoidably grappled in the first round, and 10 enemy turns pass before you can try to escape the grapple. It's been 50 seconds of mostly just you holding down the Action button to speed things along, which turns into 1 minute 40 when the process repeats after you take enough damage to get stunned. The third time you get "ambushed" when replaying an area you're bound to get frustrated.

All-in-all, I found this to be a great game that caused a lot of frustration near the end as I had to excessively repeat content to finish. There are a lot of great things in it, and I mostly consider it to be an example of what to do, rather than to avoid. I'd love to see more games that blend erotic content with gameplay this well, provide art in this variety, and match its theming and tone. I'm looking forward to more from this creator.

this game is quite fun and i honestly would reccomend it for anyone who enjoys corruption style content, the levels are pretty cool and the scenes are even better plus it's just super fun to play and mess aorund with

This was the high quality RPG I was looking for, has good mix of engaging gameplay, consistently arousing battle mechanics, and great bad end "climax" scenes! The translation is probably a 8/10 but it's passable, not bad enough to ruin any of the scenes. There isn't much penetration but the teasing/corruption mechanics are top noch

I love this game my favourite on here, it fun to play and I love the art and characters, combat can go on for sometime is my one complaint, thank you for the translation, really want to see more games like this

LOVE this game, it's just so EROTIC

Disclaimer: No penetrative sex, however, the scenes and debuffs definately make it a 5.

Scratches the itch of MC corruption using the constant debuffs and portrait edits. Great art.

Well translated too, must try!

BEST.RPGH-DUNGEON.GAME.EVER.

So many status effects which are stackable (max. 29 or 30) with lots of CG variety keeps you engaged.
Combat is simple, but the cum meter gives a little twist which is good and well built into the game.
Story is OK.
But hey. You're here to make GOOD decisions for the heroine. Go have fun!

Great TL! Hopefully the sequel will be better

i liked this game a lot

huge thanks to the translator

i thought the bad status system was fun and would like to see more games like this

storyline was a bit hard to follow especially when they take off their armor in the base

art was good

dungeon exploring aspects were good

Now, I'm going to preface my review with a personal comment: this is one of my favorite adult games. Ever. I tend to shy away from RPG Maker games, but I fell in love with this game so fast. I think I'd be extremely hard pressed to actually rate all the adult games I've ever played, but I'm certain that this would be in my top five, if not my top three.

With that being said.

This game does have faults, and I recognize that it's very possible for those faults to push other people away. I'm aware of them, and that's why I'm giving it four stars rather than five despite my personal feelings. I'll go more in depth later.

First off: the positives. The art is very good, and while the artstyle is somewhat generic, the sheer number of variations in the artwork from the various statuses and conditions kept me from ever getting bored of it. The music is all royalty free, so you may have heard some of the songs before, but they were very well chosen. I'm especially a fan of the final boss theme, Numina- it fits the fight very well. The writing is... well, the machine translation isn't very good, and I'll go into it later, but the characters were likable. I really liked the interactions between the player character, Amethyst, and the antagonist, Cloudy. How Cloudy is horny on main for Amethyst 24/7, while Amethyst sees her as more of a nuisance than anything.

Now, the horny part of the game. A lot of RPG games suffer from "lose to win" type gameplay, where you get the porn scenes from losing battles. And while you do get scenes and status conditions for losing battles, the main lewdness comes from simply playing the game. Instead of losing HP directly, your pleasure will go up whenever you're attacked, and when you reach full pleasure, you climax and then take damage. Each enemy uses exclusively erotic attacks, including generic gropes, ear whispers (this game really like focusing on her ears), magic spells, being drenched with aphrodisiacs, and in one case being interrogated on what your weak points are. Refusing to say results in the attack lasting longer and you taking more pleasure, while giving in and revealing your weaknesses makes the attack end but makes all enemies in the area stronger from then on. The element of humiliation from that- making Amethyst confess what made her feel good- was sheer gold.

Oh, right. Humiliation. I suppose I should get into that now.

See, you might've noticed that among the erotic attacks listed, "getting dicked down good and hard" wasn't one of them. That wasn't a mistake. There is no penetrative sex in the entire game. At no point does a penis enter Amethyst's vagina, or anywhere in her body. This girl, despite being molested hundreds of times, is a pure blooded virgin. The closest thing would be a dildo that the Fairy enemies insert into her in their defeat scene, and even that is somewhat overshadowed by the various other toys they're using on her. This is potentially a major negative for some people, so I felt it would be a good idea to mention it. Personally, I was fine with it, but I'm a bit of an outlier. I'm needlessly enraptured by foreplay, and the game is essentially just all foreplay and humiliation being taken to the next level. The closest thing to actual sex is the lesbian defeat scene for the final boss. I'm not saying the other scenes aren't enticing in their own way, just that you shouldn't expect more than groping and humiliation.

When you actually do lose battles, you get defeat scenes. These are prewritten, rather than generated and adaptable like the battles are. So while you won't get any extra enjoyment from viewing the same scene twice, the average defeat scene is better than the average battle due to the guaranteed flow of action and dialogue. Additionally, each enemy has a special bad state that they give upon viewing their defeat scene. A bad state is essentially a permanent status condition that can only be removed through special means, and they usually have to do with the enemy you lost to. For example, the slime girl's bad state makes your body leak magic whenever you climax (you lose MP when you climax), and the squid enemy's bad state makes your body drenched in aphrodisiac that gives you pleasure whenever your clothes rub against you (you gain pleasure whenever you attack). None of them are mutually exclusive, with the exception of the Crest of Perversion states. But they're just direct upgrades of one another, so it's not a big deal. Each bad state makes battles slightly different, and slightly harder. Some of them you'll want to get rid of because they make battles more annoying (I hate the Nipple Rings so goddamn much), and some you can keep because they barely make an impact on gameplay but improve the experience (pro tip, lose to the Takt Master for Lesbian Desires, it's great).

But alas, not all is pleasant in wonderland, for now it's time to discuss the negatives. Asides from the possible subjective one above. First off, the machine translation can be painful at times. I'm talking characters starting sentences with "however" for no reason. I'm talking tons of ellipses in the dialogue when Amethyst is being molested. It's not the worst, since it's definitely readable, but nowhere near ideal. From what I understand, a translation might be currently in the works by someone here, so this could eventually be a moot point, but as of November 14th 2020, it's an issue. (Also, if the new translation changes Cloudy's name to Claudia or Clodia, I'll be a little sad. Cloudy's such a fitting and fun name for her. Claudia's what you call someone's rich aunt.)

Another negative is that the game can be fairly grindy. It's not like you need to grind your level up to beat the game or anything- you start at level 31 and barely level up from that, and I really didn't notice any significant changes from levelling up. It's just that the game can become very tedious if you have a bunch of bad states, which of course you're going to have if you want to see all the content. The Shadow Frame has one of my favorite defeat scenes in the game, but the Tentacle Clothing bad state it gives makes battles last so much longer. And going out of your way to cure them takes time that you might not want to spend. My advice is to play on Stress Free mode- yeah, it's "easy mode," but if you get a bad state more than once you can instantly get rid of it for free after the first time. Makes the game so much more tolerable. Also, if you want any chance at beating the bosses without it taking ten minutes, you gotta go around the area and do a bunch of things to deactivate traps that would've made the bosses harder.

Overall, though, despite those faults I had an amazing time. It's one of very few adult games that I found myself daydreaming about. Not just about the porn, but the characters and the world. I ended up crafting a concept for a fix-it fic AU that resulted in a happy ending for everyone while I was at work. I've only ever done something like that for one other game on this site. If you're more fond of direct, hardcore sex, this won't scratch your itch. But if you're fine with all the little bits in between, go right ahead.

(And one final note: I purchased a Japanese copy of the game on dlsite to support the developer. A pirate's life is evidently not for me.)

Repetitive. The in-combat art was okay but not that great, and the same 3 monsters with the same skin keep attacking you in extremely repetitive and senseless fashion. I deleted it after playing for about one hour.

Simply put, this game scratches a very specific itch. It is about being an extremely powerful magical girl who can easily win fights under normal circumstances, but within whom also lurks a slutty side susceptible to sexual teasing, which is all the enemies in this game. And I do mean teasing, there isn't any men nor even any penetration in the game, despite the amount of tentacles and sex toys. It's all just rubbing and pinching and stroking and licking until the protagonist cums. You need to get engaged with the atmosphere moreso than the literal drawings, though obviously the visuals help sell everything.

For me, this game is almost perfect in how it explores its fetish. Your heroine begins very capable but can soon become laden with tons of sexual statuses, such as lactation or a sudden strong lesbianism streak to name a few, and these progressively make it more difficult to win fights. Many of these effects can be removed easily, but many others are harder to get rid of and you'll need to follow specific instructions, often confronting your character's new fetish directly and frequently, to overcome it.
