RPGM - Completed - Ricoche: A Weak JK's Climactic Battle With Orcs [Final] [Yukikagero]

Boring and repetitive. Play one battle and you've seen them all.

The way the game is constructed is you have around 5 levels (off the top of my head, could be wrong) and each has 4 missions. However, each zone tends to have the exact same enemy types, and your moves always do the exact same animations. This means if you've seen one battle, you've seen them all. The flavor text around the sex in each battle is bare minimum too.

The only exception would be (some) boss characters, but it's honestly not enough to justify a download. One of the boss fights is already a preview image for the game, and yeah, that preview image is pretty much all you get from that fight.

Beyond that, the game has no story, no side content, no nothing. The game even starts rather awkwardly, with your character just venturing off on missions that absolutely nobody assigned to her. You're given her motivation to fight orcs, but instead of quest hunting to help individual NPCs, you just automatically have various missions and there is effectively zero NPC interaction. (less than 10 NPCs total, none of them have vital interactions to game progression, as far I can tell)

This is just another case of a developer investing everything in art, but then doing absolutely nothing for gameplay, story, flavor text during sex scenes, or even ensuring there's at least a good variety for the art.

Excellent game, great translation. This is a quick porn game that you can just boot up and play, nothing too serious, or it doesn't seem like it. You get straight into the action, no bullshit, no fetch quest. Art is outstanding. It reminded me a lot like Karryn Prison with the game-play style (it is much more casual and very light-hearted than Karryn, so you, Gucci). All the normal fetishes.

First off, great translation. Always great to see a japanese game with the art quality and fetishes that you come to love from japanese games with a fully incorporated and proofread manual translation.

As far as the actual game content goes, it's a battle-fuck game that you won't have to think very hard about, but thankfully doesn't revolve around losing. While I wish the protagonist started off a bit more innocent and it was more oriented towards corruption, there's no denying that this art quality and style is right up many people's alleys, myself included. That being said, I'm noticing a lot of repeat CG so far from the first area's battles, and I'm hoping that some variety'll be reflected once I progress a bit more.

Maybe early for me to throw a 5 star rating at the game, but I'd like this game to get some people's attention to encourage the translator to pursue more projects, because they did a fantastic job thus far.
