RPGM - Completed - Serena of the Corrupted Mines [Final] [MarunomiKobo]

I'm not even sure what to say.
Elves are hot, that's about the only nice thing to say of this game.
But if I had to say more...
Boring characters.
No corruption.
Slow combat.
Slow movement.
Bad UX.
Few scenes.

I can easily compliment the artstyle and character design, it's well made and simple. The story, characters and gameplay are all pretty mediocre though. With the gameplay itself becoming tedious pretty quickly, so it's a small mercy that this game is pretty short. With only 3-4~ hours worth of gameplay. Overall a decent-ish enough game, so if it caught your eye, then give it a try. But keep your expectations somewhat lower.

Leveling is a bit tedious since to level up faster you have get 100 - 200 exp per enemy defeated and getting to these enemy becomes another task in itself in mid - later game.

To level up more efficiently I'd say get stack up on heals and magic potion because in 2nd or 3rd or 4th Mine you will have to escort total of 2 individual who can heal you as well as attack the enemy. Make sure to bring as many potion as you can and get magic potion more than healing

Normal healing potion - max 12
Normal magic potion - max 20
Greater healing - max 8
Greater magic - max 15
If your corruption is greater than 55 then remove the armour which insanely boosts you magic dmg output, thats why get more magic potion as the individuals can heal you.
Make sure these guys HP doesnt get completely depleted otherwise healing potion wont work and you will have to solo the farming which is a heavy lose,
also make sure to stack up before you these guys get into your party otherwise if you return to base to stack up then story will continue and they will depart from your party.

I am saying all of this only because leveling up solo is somewhat tedious and waste of time.

Other than this goated game, Art styles goated, the setting in which the game takes place is goated. This should get the recognition it deserves

If you arnt going to play this game because of the reviews below then let me tell you something, knights will see magicians teleport over large distances and say "he cant afford a horse"

I agree the movement is slow and leveling up is tedious but that doesnt mean you shouldnt try the game out.

Pros:
Good art/CGs
Good level designs
Some CGs are animated
Voiced CGs

Cons:
god do I hate backtracking in rpgs
Slow movement
Too many enemies > repetitive combat
Bosses are hard if you just want to play it casually

Loved the game, simple gameplay and fight mechanics, Really Good Artstyle. Liked the heroine very much.
(The walking speed is much slower which increases the time required for traversing same mines again and would be great to have options to skip some attack animations)

The game was quite fun despite the simple mechanics, the story is relatively good, but the best part is the art and animations, in this the game delivers what it promises. Of all the work I've seen so far by MarunomiKobo, this was the best overall.

Nice short RPGM game, which really deserve better rating. Yes, the story may be quite easy. But hey, it is a "hentai game", it does not need a story equal to the Skyrim and play time more then 10 hours to be enjoyable. And this have really good art, it is not so much grinding, and really nice "battle harassment" system.
In short, game which i really enjoyed to play.

Combat gets annoying at some point.
Animations and characters are good. The protagonist could be used and be made a series with. Would be a waste if the creator won't capitalize on them.
The maps aren't bad, just the progression gets screwed by dealing with too many repetitive enemies. Needs work with combat.
Story is just alright.
Hopefully more customizations for future games with the armors if ever. More scenes with more models would be good for another game if ever.
Party system seems basic, but not bad. The creator could make add more new characters in case or just simple NPCs that you could hire and ang could also have scenes with, etc.
Quite a lot of potential.
Optimization with the game's performance on my side as well, if it's my side then so be it. I hope it would be better for me if they create another game.
Really would be a waste if they won't capitalize with the main character, they're simply great.

The game is a 2 out of 5. It had some potential. I like the character sprite, and art even if some is clearly AI assisted. But there's not much choice, or corruption and the gameplay is just multiple fetch quests strung together with the usual rpg multiple choice attack system. The most annoying thing about this game is how slow the character is and how many enemies there are to get in your way. The developer clearly wanted to waste the players time. And there's nothing about this game worth wasting that time. Just use the full save for elf porn and move on.

Gotta say I was sceptical but it is quite fun.

Gameplay:
Movement could be faster but it's not bad.
Combat is simple, every opponent has weakness you need to discover
There are 2 types of opponents - the ones that can do "lewd combat" (at start it's just harrasment scene instead of combat and later it's just sex) PS. it's hard to say when the enemy will do lewd attack instead of combat at times it seems random and at times it seems to be % or lewdness dependent, turning my back at enemy with high lewd seed to make it occur more often)
And second type which is purely combat. If it can think - it can fuck (excluding slimes from this rule)
High enough lewedness and you can take off armor giving you not only the different reactions of denizens but also turning combat into fuckfest, you reach a goblin and it just fucks you. Still, purely combat monsters will remain purely combat.

Lewds:
Simple good looking and bit animated scenes with X-ray
Each monster has it's own defeat scene - at start you mostly get like 5 caves of goblins so don't expect anything new until you're done with them
After unlocking brothel you get recollection room

Story:
Nobody's gonna bore you with long lines of some ancient kingdom, simple, quick and easy to understand story
Upon progressing story you unlock new scenes around town and some scenes appear in key areas in dungeons (you gotta do them to go forward)

PC:
Main protagonist is an elf so she behaves like elf, there is no corruption in this game so no moral degradation. Also an elf I could actually start to like despite her being a knife-ear

4 stars out of 5 cuz there could be some QoL added and it's not that rich in content

Found this to be fairly fun, I liked the animated xray view and some of the scenes were well done. I would've liked the see an increase to speed and a little more addition to the storyline as the quests can be confusing at times but overall I enjoyed it.

Not worth a download.

The female mc moves too slow, combat is bland and boring, h scenes can only be viewed once while playing. Otherwise u have to use the gallery. The battle h scenes dissappear too fast. See the blow job scene with the goblin on the cover on the main thread here? When it happens, it lasts for maybe a second. So it's un-jerkable.

As for the art, it looks ai that's been touched up. Overall the whole game is kinda just slop.
