RPGM - Completed - Roundscape Adorevia [v6.8 Steam] [Arvus Games]

Okay, so I'm not gonna drag this review out too long. Just gonna put it bluntly. I recently stumbled across this game and thought "wow!". But after playing it through, this is simply too outdated and boring.

If this was back when adult games were still blooming and rpgm was the pinnacle of h-games, I'd say this is solid.

But playing it now, it's... blah. It's your typical rpgm with plain boring combat and choosing the right words to have sex. The art is pretty bad because there's no consistency. You have cartoony style, anime style, ai style, and sometimes artwork that looks like it's done by MeatCanyon.

As of 2024, I'd put this game to rest. It's seen better days. I give it an extra star simply because the writing wasn't too cringe.

4/5 if you are playing 5.8, 2/5 if you are playing current version. 5.8 had a challenging combat system mostly based on doing % max hp damage over time on insane. It was at least somewhat different as you were mostly structuring around a mix of variety of DoT sources(to account for resistance) and defensive abilities. It also didn't have AI art(which i am usually fine with but there was hand-drawn art already.) Finally, the story is somewhat weird, the game has a hard time keeping you immersed which is really strange for a fantasy game. Every class other than noble just gets a castle 3 sesconds after the tutorial and goes cool i guess. It's not even story related how they get it. They just stumble into a castle.

I don't understand why people are bashing this game. Sure, it has some bugs and perhaps some of the artwork is not perfect or 100% consistent but there is a ton of content in it, so many things to do and absolutely free gameplay, a decent combat system and a story that keeps the player engaged.
The characters are handled with care and they all have interesting characters and backstories, there are unique companion quests for every taste and almost every kink is explored through the scenes.
Only big negatives for me were the quest log and the gallery but I can look past them because overall, this is a very good game.

I endured just 3 hours of this very grindy and artificially stretched-out game.

Most of your time will be consumed by walking from one place to another, and it's very easy to just get lost - the locations are too big, and there is no map to navigate through them. There's only a compass that barely helps to navigate the screen that you're on.

Fights are good, but constantly respawning enemies are completely ruin it. What's even worse is that you can't escape from some of them.

The existence of a "morality" system implies that you should think before you do something, but in reality, it seems to not matter at all. There's simply no corruption; your character can suck someone off with absolutely no hesitation in the very beginning.

The party members are trying to appear more alive by talking to you after you do something, but sometimes they just won't. Your character just sucked a man off for directions? Nobody in your party gives a shit.

The art in the whole three sex scenes I've seen was good, except for the one generated by AI. I have nothing against using AI; on the contrary, I think it's good if you know how to use it, but the devs clearly don't - it's the most basic and crappy AI style in existence. The scenes themselves are okay at most - 1-4 stills and a shit ton of text.

Technically, it looks great for RPGM, but even by playing this game, you can feel that the devs had a lot of stupid restrictions due to the engine. Also, I've encountered a bunch of crashes, and the music just wouldn't play when it should.

Overall, this game is basically Arenus from the same devs - both are very tedious, both suffer from poor game design, both have good art, both suffer from incredible ambitions that the devs are trying to fit inside RPGM. Those developers don't know how to make a game like this work, and what makes it worse is that they continue to choose an engine that can't handle their ambitions. Two stars because I don't think that it is terrible, it's just bad.

Overall probably their best work in terms of Quantity of content with their first game being the best in terms of quality the amount of stuff to do and people is great from the main party to some NPCs

Decent game but it really does start to drag and there is alot of information that isn't given to you and assumed that you should already know. Its hard to recommend honestly, but there is alot of features that make it really enjoyable, the castle as well as the story and art

I really liked all the options it gives you to costumes your character. You can choose you gender, your backstory/origin. You can change you main class and you can have a secondary class. You can really make your character your.
Sadly you can't choose your looks and I would have loved to at least give some of the companions a secondary class to.

The game is good, you can explore many genres and it provides you a lot of freedom to do whatever you want.
That said I played the game a long time ago and to my surprise now some images are generated by ai that's a shame, also I still have problems with the optimization.

This game got better. I really enjoy it, especially with the castle modifications they did. I would say this game is my number one in f95zone. I really hope they bring something like new expansion into the game and continue to improve the game.

Gameplay and visuals look above average compared to other RPGMs. The combat system is simple and easy. The story and characters are not bad either. It seems like we can influence things with our choices. Also, the fact that we can choose the gender and origin of our character at the beginning of the game are nice details, but there is one big problem that makes me ignore all these good things, and that is that the sex scenes are not animated. Also, many players have complained that the developers have replaced old artwork with AI generated ones.

Normally this wouldn't be a problem for me, but I had to quit the game because I didn't want to spend tens of hours looking at static images with different art designs. When the adult content isn't satisfying, it just feels like playing a casual JRPG. I don't like JRPGs anyway, and if I wanted to play them, there are plenty of AAA standard games. My purpose in playing such games is to be sexually aroused. Still images don't do that very well. But I'm still not going to give it a low rating because it just doesn't appeal to me. For someone else it will probably be fun.

Amazing game with a ton of content—and I mean a ton! First off, there are different events based on your character class and whether you choose to be male or female. Plus, your choices affect the content you see, so some things might not happen while others pop up.

The game lets you explore various fetishes, many of which reoccur in different events or repeat depending on what you choose. The story is pretty linear, but the choices along the way really spice it up. There are also loads of side events to dive into. The first time I played, I barely touched the main story because I was too busy exploring all the extra events.

I'm on my fifth playthrough now, starting from scratch each time, because the content is just that enjoyable.

I only have one problem, some of the art work is fucking garbage tier due to the vast array of artists this game uses. Most of the art is great don't get me wrong, but when its bad, its bad!

Okay game. It's like a worse version of Legend of Queen Opala on a much better version of the RPGM engine

++ Choices matter a lot

+ Writing is good
+ Combat is similar to standard RPGM but there's some extra layers to it which is appreciated.

= Art is decent (even the AI art; I see there was some controversy over this but personally I don't find it a big deal to use AI art when the hand drawn art isn't anything crazy to begin with)
= No animation and not many CG per scene, but not so few that I'd consider it a real negative for a game of this scope.

- A lot of the systems/mechanics feel incomplete or unpolished. Whether it's the fort management, pregnancy, the passive skill tree, etc... it's like they had a cool idea, got 80% towards making it reality then said "meh, can't be bothered anymore". It's sad because with that extra 20% I think this could be a really great game.
- While the combat is interesting for hard fights, I do wish there was a better auto battle for all the trash encounters.

-- Scenes are pretty spread out and almost none of them are repeatable.

This is 1 of the most painfully average games I ever ended up playing. I tried really hard to enjoy it, but at the end of day it's a very mediocre experience. Worst offender, in my opinion, is the lack of thought put into the interactions with companions; read as: NTR all around that is clearly not even intended to be NTR and just exists as a result of lack of care to put in the extra effort to actually account for different genders. Yes, there are different scenes for male and female protagonists but not really, it's more that the female protagonist is meant to be a cheap whore who gets intimate with literally anyone who expresses the desire to do so while giving the character herself very little agenda in terms of actually initiating intimate relationships that go beyond "spread legs for everyone" on her own. Even worse, the game seems to assume everyone who plays it is into having the, already very underdeveloped, romance options sleep around with basically anyone else. As soon as the player opts out of playing the bicycle everyone can use for free it becomes painfully obvious that the game doesn't really have all that much variety, it doesn't account for being faithful, in fact it often just claims the opposite to be true or the characters in question (who, supposedly, are potential Loveinterests) aggressively push for bestiality and other fetishes a solid amount of people are put off by. I have no idea what the thought process of the Devs was but this game has no business claiming it is much more than a kinetic novel that, for some ungodly reason, once again had to be forcibly made into an RPG maker game even though the gameplay plain sucks, as most RPG Maker games do. It's just a waste of time to get from 1 scene to the next. The writing is plenty, but the quality is very mid & the characters, by large, are extremely unlikable and make no sense in what they do.

Hotdiggity damn doo, what a ride!
110 hours in and I had to rush the ending - this is a gigantic game, with hundreds of events. I feel bad for only spending 10 minutes writing this review.

Why 5 stars, when the average at time of writing is 3,5?
Simple, the game is now finished and the reviews where like made during construction, nevertheless I shall endeavor to explain my solid five star rating.

Build on an RPGM platform, the combat and roleplay elements are heavy, and the build up to most sex scenes are key to why this game deserves five stars. The game caters heavily to some fetishes and does it well, it is
not for the faint of heart, but a buffet for the adventurous.

Writing: 4.9/5 - Text and choice, for example one NPC - Katelyns - bathtime exposition alone is a condensed novel. Party interactions and running commentary from companions make this game come alive much more than most other games. Sure there are a few typos and a few missing letters here and there, but overall, the worldbuilding in this game is better than most AAA rpgs.

Visual: 4.8/5 - The game has been under development for ten years, and technology has moved along with it. Sporting a mix of handdrawn and well-made ai supported scenes the visual element sends a positive, albeit a bit mixed, signal. The RPGM base has been propped up and delivers and excellent framwork for varied scenaries that add to the worldbuilding.

Content: 5/5 - Catering to a wide variety of fetishes and kinks, the scenes are quite varied and not player-centric, which worldbuilds sexual norms nicely and ties in to the corruption concept. Corruption is far more nuanced than most other games and is not only a measure of how depraved you are, its more.

Its finished: 5/5 - No dead ends midgame, very few bugs, and its complete with endings and teaser. Complex RPGMs in development suffer from the multiple interdependencies each decision bring, ie. questdependencies and scenes for one route and not the other. This is all irrelevant as the game is now finished and you likely won't notice, and more importantly feel, that you're missing out on content.

I have recently called another game an RPGM classic, and I believe the title is just as well earned by Roundscape Adorevia.
I hope that we'll see more from the developer in the future.

Just finished the game and my review in this game is I would say this game is quite better than most RPGMs recently I played. I had hoped the main story would have longer contents than the side story but I finished it quicker than I thought after spending a total of 24 hours in the game. It's shame that I can't continue to enjoy the cities and travel around the world in the game after completing the main story.

I'm not a completionist so I can't be bothered by completing 100% of this game. I know this game is completed with occasional updates added in the game. I hope the developer adds more of the city's scenery, accessible places, and unique NPCs in the next sequel because some places were barren and lacked points of interest that make players curious and try different things like most JRPG players would do.

A lot of potential, but ultimately didn't feel very tight as an eroge. I think the worldbuilding was great at times for a fantasy RPG, but then at other times questlines and locations feel entirely rushed or unfinished. It's to the point that many sexual encounters feel unearned and unsexy. I'd have preferred a smaller scope that had depth. This is the epitome of quantity over quality. That said, it has a lot more to it than most, so I wouldn't call it average, just falling far short of its potential.

Frankly this game deserves 4 stars but with the review bombing I feel the need to even it out. The combat is surpringly fun, if really easy once you grab any character with a screen wide aoe and just max them out with the upgrade system.

I'd describe this in part as an inch deep and a mile wide, there's a lot of systems in place, but the game doesn't really squeeze the potential from any of them. That said, this is an h game. It's got serviceable combat, good story, a great cast of characters, and best of all, a sort of 'anti-hero' route you can take where you do a lot of greedy and lewd shit, but you still save the day and treat your friends well.

A thing to note, and a complaint I suppose, is the disparity between male and female pcs. When it comes to your party members, especially the women, a lot of the romance and sex scenes are male MC only. The game makes up for this with a lot of random 'unattached' scenes for the female mc, monsters in the overworld, lewd quest objectives, minotaurs, horses, tentacles, you name it. It would be nice to have this evened out a bit, but it is what it is.

Now, about the AI art. I haven't noticed any real issues and honestly if I hadn't seen the reviews about AI art I wouldn't have noticed. I disapprove if AI in general, but from my understanding they used AI to smooth out some rough edges on work they'd paid for, basically editing art they'd paid and credited artists for. This is a lot less egregious in my eyes.


All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game, and will probably run through it again as a female MC at some point. Highly recommended.

Disgusting. I played adoveria two years ago, and it was cool, but in two years of development the game has lost its charm and soul. A LOT of bugs have appeared. Some hand drawn scenes have been replaced with AI generated ones. The mutants that are depicted there now cause an uncanny valley effect and make my eyes bleed.
Instead of a handy gallery, it's a horrible, inconvenient one where scenes no longer have previews, only descriptions. Ugh.

Best RPGM game I've played and one of the best games here in general. I've done nothing but play this game for like a week, exploring as much as I could. Love the futa and trap content, but as with greed there can always be more lol. Also a few bugs. AND WHY DOES KATELYN NOT SHOW UP IN THE FINAL FEAST

Roundscape aderovia is the best rpg Hentai game.
I played this game year after year and the upgredes continue to arrive!
I tried different rpg, but a lot of them has problem to create e complete story like this game.
Thank you for this creation
