RPGM - Completed - Rei of the Floating Magic City [v1.03] [Doujin Circle Gyu!]

The game follows the same style as all the other games of the Circle.
It offers a lot of utilities and tools and mechanics but personally I felt that it was lacking in content...
All secondary fetishes are self-focused with the most major one being Pregnancy.
The NPCs/story/world don't have much presence, you just walk up a tower and wait for scenes to be unlocked.
I don't think that this game can satisfy your cravings, it's more of a concept.

The game continues the saga of the GYUNIVERSE/ Gyu game verse/ series of games by Gyu in the same setting. The characters from previous games are here and plays major roles in plot developments. The story was kind of eh.. But it got good, exciting in the end parts with the ending wrapping the story nicely.

First things first though: TO THOSE PLAYING THESE games. Gyu stated in the Dev commentary Room of this game that the main focus of the H scenes would be EXTREME HARDCORE H STUFF (Pregnancy with SCAT, with fcking stomach BENDING SO MUCH due to getting FCKED BY A LARGE OBJECT it becomes COMEDIC, FISTING and INSERTING TOTEM POLES INTO THE VAGENE, and similar things). Things that are extremely niche and I am writing that in the review so you can set your expectations to either low or HIGH.

Gameplay: Standard RPG with being able to learn spells from spellbooks. Gameplay is a bit SHITTYLY balanced as the usual with Gyu games. Early game you are so fragile and made of paper and late game you are 1 shotting things. Most of the Combat level is just skip the mobs (since they are filler and leveling does not feel as satisfying. There may be some bosses that can roadblock your progress. AND ONE SHITTY Vital design flaw in the equipment is how most weapons (99%) don't give Magic attack (99% of your damage will be magic spells, it's a waste to normal attack). And most (99%) armor only increases DEFENSE. So THAT MEANS EARLY GAME YOU WILL GET REKT BY Magic damage (some bosses deal insane magic damage early on that may roadblock your progression). TLDR: Combat is an afterthought and mostly copy paste from other Gyu games (with different mechanics of course). I preferred their previous game before this one combat wherein you can copy spells from enemies (it's unique).

H content: As stated before, 100% of H scenes are NTR, 80% of them are EXTREME hardcore scenes like FISTING, SCAT, Fcking while pulling the fetus out of the vagene, MASSIVE OBJECT INTO THE VAGENE, STOMACH INFLATION, etc. Gyu stated into the dev room that this is his preferred niche/ H scenarios so yeah it can be an "acquired taste".

Story: Story is pretty standard and boring in the early- mid parts of the story and gets extremely HYPE and exciting at the end parts specially if you are invested in the GYUVERSE/ overarching storyline from Gyu games. Ending is pretty ANIMAISH.

TLDR: Extremely Niche fetishes, subpar gameplay and GOOD (at the end only) story if you are familiar with previous games of this dev. The h scenes might disappoint you since they are extremely NICHE and you might prefer more "normal" H scenes lol. 10/10 Would GYUUUN again.

version 1.03

in the beginning i was convinced that i will rate it minimum 4/5... but then somehow out of nowhere the game became so bad it's laughable. first of all a lot of it is voice acted, or at least part of the texts are.(some are really basic yes-no-etc) art is nice, it has animation (although a bit junky), game fights are a tiny bit more fresh than usual rpgm games...

yet the sex scenes are just so trash, and the grind is trash too so i cannot rate it high. first of all corruption goes from 0-100 real quick, since if you follow the story and don't want janky dialogues you become a sex slave quite fast (due to heavy blackmail). storywise it makes sense... there are a lot of ways for NTR and how to abuse a mother+daughter while the husband + boyfriend lives in the same house as these sex slaves while in the beginning the boys don't even know that the girls became sex slaves... yet it's not played out at all... first sex scene is fine when they become slaves, but then it's nearly all just prostitution... such a huge miss of opportunity.

it all feels like someone made it who doesn't find these games erotic or sexy or fun at all, so he just made a quality/finished product to get money. everything is "decent" in this game compared to many other rpgm games but author just "doesn't get it". so it's boring, and dialogues sometimes makes 0 sense. sometimes opposite things happen than what the dialogue implies, but whatever, the main reason it's bad is because the sex scenes are just god awful. classical case of overpromise-underdeliver.

how can they botch a mother+daughter sex slave game scenario is beyond reason. i honestly was contemplating on giving it 3/5 since it's a "decent" game with "decent" story and very nice art, but honestly i don't recommend this game to anyone hence the 2/5 because it's really a huge waste of time. if you want a good story then play a non-porn game.

this probably the best adult game to play without the adult stuff the story is great especially the virgin ending sure the gameplay was repetitive but the leveling was not that bad the sound was ok for an adult game i would play this game again and see the other ending overall a great game for someone who is bored playing adult game with forced sexual stuff overall a great game in story perspective.

The game offers solid gameplay and impressive visuals, though it can feel repetitive at times. While enjoyable, it lacks some polish and depth that could elevate it to the next level. Lag on my PC but ok!

While I was somewhat surprised by the plot twist in the end of the story. I can't, in good faith give this game more than one star. While really big and full of scenes I find them without any weight nor progression, most of them don't even have any good textual description of the scene or what is going on with the characters.

Played a few hours, with low expectations and it didn´t disapoint as much as i though.
The story is decent (not great at all, but decent enough for this kind of game)
The characters are atractive, the scenes aren´t that good but it has (barely average to low) animations.
The grind wasn´t unsuferable (you can avoid most enemies as the boss fights boost your level quite a bit and the spells are learned from tomes, with no relation to the level of the characters).
In general it is an average game of gyu, not comparable to T.H. Mai, but better than others.

Had hopes for this one as I liked the design of the heroines (an all-busty team, hooray!), even enjoyed the initial story and thought this could finally be a Circle Gyu game that I enjoy, but sadly it wasn't meant to be (and it's not because of bugs, I got lucky and noticed none).

Main culprit: The sex scenes.

They're sadly unbearably bad, maybe even the worst they've ever been from the circle, despite the use of some Live2d animations in addition to the badly "animated" still pictures.

The sex scenes are where everything falls apart. Horrendously short "animation" loops with a complete lack of transitions between animations - and the same applies for the SFX as well, bad loops and sudden cuts. I was shocked by the poor quality, as it stands in stark contrast to the game's presentation otherwise.

The "dialogue" has the same issue, it feels like a loop of generic text boxes, with some "ahs" and "ohs" and for the most part a complete lack of any relevance to the actual sex scene devoid of the girls' feelings or inner thoughts. Sometimes the text will let you know the dude's name and how hard and long he's banging the girl, but that's it.

Even crucial details like virginity loss, raw creampie sex and impregnation aren't properly reflected in dialogue (the only exception to this are the intro sequences that lead towards the miserable sex scenes).

As has been an issue with past games from the circle, even extreme events (like the aforementioned impregnation) lack contextual impact. The girls get pregnant dozens of times, get fucked by dozens of people for hundreds of times, and basically just shrug it off as normal right away.

The lack of meaning or impact fits the emptiness of the sex scenes, and it's just sad.

The foundation for a great game is (once again) there. Lots of interesting places and characters, a serviceable h-game story, many different events and tons of customizable features, including things like selecting between a dozen different queefing sound effects (sadly all of them are bad, but an effort was made).

It's just so disappointing that the sex scenes end up being this terrible.

The NTR aspect is severely lacking as well, which is an astonishing feat given that the setup couldn't be easier: We have a mother-daughter duo with a husband and a boyfriend at the mercy of a group of men. Their boss has a special interest in the daughter, a subordinate also has a crush on her, and another dude prefers to bang the mother.

Yet there's no progression to this. The guys immediately sell the girls off into prostitution, and from then on out it's all generic prostitution and rape scenes. No shift of love towards the boss/any other bull, just rape all day everyday.

That's been an issue with past Gyu games too, NTR that leads nowhere at all and is replaced by loveless mass-fucking of the FMCs. Sure, the husband and boyfriend can find out about it and then end up as knowing cucks either watching or also selling them to other guys - however none of that feels meaningful as all the women in the game are treated as mere goods, wares and stock to fuck and buy and sell.

Truly a shame, as all in all the game has lots of sex scenes, CGs, some voice acting (good VAs, but not every line is voiced) and a cast of more than four wonderfully busty girls getting dicked.

Alright, here are some ratings:

Non-Sex CGs/Character Design: 4/5
Sex-CGs: 2/5
Sex Scenes (Presentation, Audio, Writing): 1/5
Gameplay: 2/5 (turn-based RPGM-combat, but with poor optimization)
Customization Options: 5/5
Sex Stats: 5/5 (lots of stats and details)
Story: 3/5 (as far as I played)
Translation: 4/5 (great work by dazed, thanks!)

Giving it an "average" rating in the limited 5-stars system due to the game's large amount of content (even if that content ain't stellar), but would be a 5/10 otherwise.

No recommendation, except maybe for players really into prostitution.

The dev is pretty much Bethesda of Dlsite , super buggy and a pain to play and with a price of 40$ i do not recommended at all , great world and art in term of media but very bad design , i feel like this game is made by other game project/asset and then put all together at once in the final moment without any thought or checking .
In term of eroge it check all box , but for a game it simply dont !fancy outside , broken inside !

the concept of the story are actually good, but the UI is so trash, too much text and bugs. for $30+ its not worth. Im as a pregnancy enjoyer, the mechanics is bad, and the last is the optimization for the game is soo bad for sure. well that from me 2/5 nothing more,but actually can be 1/5 if its not because of the concept of the story.

An upgraded version of Blue Mage Luna and set in the same world. I say upgrade but that might be the only few good things I can really say about this game. The only upgrade I can really see is just more protagonist you can throw into prostitution.

Good: The artwork might be the only good thing about this game. I like it enough but others might find the duller colors, well, dull. This game focuses on brothel, rape and NTR. Though, I just point these out as that any good quality is boiled down to personal taste. Like how ppl have mixed feelings about pregnancy in their games, in which case this game does have it.

Bad: As of writing this review this game is $50. You know what else I can get for that much? A new, physical copy of Elden Ring with the expansion (base edition). The battel system is dull, maps are dull, and the sex scenes (at least half) are dull. Stack this with a framerate that is laggy as crap, but thankfully no crashes (and I did try this game on two computers). If you have anything less than a normal gaming PC you're not getting out of some kind of fame lag. Summed up, unless you like this dev I suggest you pass on this game. But if you do want it at least wait until the price drops or an optimization patch is released. I would perfer both.

2.5/5 just for the artwork alone

Other games I would choose over this...
-How to build a Magnificent Kingdom
-Monica's Newlywed Life
-Ideology in Friction
-Eclipse Witch (hmm...I swear this looks familiar)
-Welcome to Seeding City
-Nanami and Maria 'Sexual Part-time Jobs'

Art: 2 / 5 Not bad, but incredibly low-effort drawings. Sloppy censorship that ruins immersion.
Gameplay: BORING, TEDIOUS, SHIT.
Writing: Pathetic, even without the MTL, this is a joke. Sex scenes contain five different stages of a hardcore gangbang, including impregnation, and the girls just silently take it... it's a joke.
Technical: BUGGY, LAGGY, ANCIENT, 10 YEARS BEHIND THE TIMES.

This is another sloppy Gyu game that probably is worth a 3 / 5 if the countless bugs and lags can be fixed and if it gets a decent translation. Still, this game is so uninspired... If you loved the previous gyu games, give it a go; if you didn't, skip!
