RPGM - Relicts of Aeson [v0.20.2] [Doianu Games]

Unga Bunga

Translation:
"I really didn't know where to rate this because it does a lot right but at the same time still has a lot to do in the same space.

- Gameplay
RPGM style game, specific spots glow so you don't have to click random objects and all that. No combat that I'm aware of, since you play as a thief character your doing more thief/ rogue related things which makes sense. Most of the dungeon crawling is like the first visit to the Forsaken Fortress in Wind Waker, avoid the enemies eyesight or you get booted the beginning of that level. Speaking of being a thief, there is actually a lot of opportunities to do that kind of stuff. Specifically a pickpocket mini game in the market. It's a little janky with how fast the guards can be and how unpredictable too but I thought it was a really cool feature, especially for an RPGM.

- Storyline
You play as a thief who's girlfriend is captured and you must rescue them before it is too late. Along the way you will have adventures that help define what exactly is going on in this town. Make friends, enemies, and more than likely have sex with them. Nothing beats drinking the sexed up koo-laid.

- Artwork
This is where the game shines but also feels like it could do more. Specifically the animations, some of them are fine but the rest just seem idk boring. Now that's not to detract from the style itself, everything looks really good. It just feels like it could do more if that makes sense.

- Overall
I'm giving it 4 stars because I think it'll get better and improve as it continues, was going to give it 3 but I convinced myself after revisiting the artwork. It has some glitches here and there, def needs to get the overlapping eyesight thing fixed because I get stuck in a never ending loop from the guards or the perverts at night in the market."

The writing is absolutely horrendous. It’s basically just sex and it’s still managed to make the MC unlikable. No way she was a master thief, she is way to skittish. (also, she can’t pick locks from the beginning) Of course, there is a sex course which makes part of her a giant slut from the beginning, every time that side shows, which basically every conversation, she must deny what she just said/thought with an extreme reaction. Which is supposed to be funny but very childish and loses its appeal very fast. The plot is boring, only exists for the sex. I found not a single likeable character. The art is pretty good, yet there are many light flashes in them which is distracting and ruins them for me. The maps aren’t much to talk about, besides that the MC glows weirdly, the guards always have a sight cone even if it’s not necessary and you can simply walk atop of a lot of scenery. The light cones of the guards in the sneaking parts aren’t the actual vision radius, they only indicate their viewing direction. If you think third crisis is the best game ever made or you have the ability to completely block out every single dialogue, try this otherwise I wouldn’t even bother.

I really hate RPGM engine for H-games, but somehow i gave this one a chance and did't regret this. Average RPGM game on this site is wall of text, usually boring dialoges or world descripitions with mediocore arts and all those pixel sprites if You are lucky enough it's not just slideshow with text but no gameplay (like in most of Ren'py's visual novels)...
Story is actually quite 'catchy', dialoges decent and pace in quest is entertaining, and arts as good as You can see.
It's quite good game, -1 star for beeing a little bit too normal and vanila, for setting with crazy horny villages affected by some mysterious desise

Great RPG with nice art, bot some things should be improved in my opinion.

1. Would be nice to see this art in increased resolution.
2. It is kinda easy to make the game crash or inoperable.

Beside that the animations are satisfying and this is a nice experience as an (adult) RPG. Looking forward for future updates.

Not gonna lie im shocked this game only has 3 stars. As far as ero games go I would say this is 1 of the best on this forum site. Not only is actual REAL art it has gifs and animations which im sure take alot more time then these half assed shitty 3d ones. It seems almost like it is inspired by Third Crisis which is not necessarily a bad thing because that is one of the best adult games ever made. The game is fun and actually has some pretty good humor and all the female characters are super sexy. I can see the effort that is put into this and I think it deserves a higher rating.

Update to my review:
New version 0.12.7 is by far best version of this game so far.
Lots of bu gs have been fixed like cholthing bug and items/scene trickers.

Also change to remove "option from begining h-scenes that you could not do in anyway is realy good one in my opinion.

Now i would recomend this game to those i likes games that are done in rpg maker. Previously i could not recomend.

Im raising score from 3 to 4

Old Review:

Oh boy, i would love to like this game, but its just too buggy for me.
Trickers wont deactivate/disapear after you use them, exsample in begining you can pick your clothes infinated times. You can also tricker same scenes that you alredy watched.

Other thigh is lust systmem, why in hell you offer options that arent possible in anyway? In start of game there is "option" for 100 lust but there is no way to get that much lust at this point.

Artstyle is good and scenes are hot.

This game has alot of potential if trickers get fixed, but i would not hold my breath, after 2 years of devoplement game is still version 0.09.

A pretty solid game so far, some rough edges at times but overall very good! Has lots of dead-ends and teasers for future content, which has me optimistic for the future. Art is great as well

Keep up the good work!

Wasn't terrible
But as many have stated, having to wait unskippable cutscenes and dialogue is what most of the game is
The NSFW came to under 10 scenes, w the most being only at the very start and then becoming less and less

The biggest time waster after that was having to run around every inch until you finally give up to know you've reached the end despite the quest giver saying to "come back later"
I'd say it was 80% wondering around reloading saves thinking I missed or messed something up
And 20% actually getting to beat my meat

Also I know I'm late to the party but I remember I wanted to check this out bcuz I liked the cute artstyle

Decent game with a very good art style that shows a lot of promise. Currently the game is quite buggy but I expect that to improve with future revisions.

Art style reminds me of Third Crisis in a good way.

This review is made during version 0.05 (Non-Patreon) and is possible to be subject to change. It's not personal and everything are written in the hope of providing constructive criticism.

Pro:
+Good Arts.
+Have good potential.
+Interesting plot.

Con:
-Maps (in some of them you can walk out of a wall to the dark area)
-Bugs (I can walk in some cut-scenes and straight out leave the jail cell during one)
-Dialogues (Not the worse but not good either)
-Conversations can be slow (especially with the innkeeper)
-The world (town) feels so empty.

At the current version, I suggest waiting a while as it's filled with bugs, and you don't really have many activities to really do. It's not the smoothest running RPG too. So wait until bugfixes and updates. Overall it's your classic/cliche hentai RPG with stealth mechanic.
