RPGM - Completed - Silver Bullet [v1.02] [hijoguchiyuki]

The game kinda let me down. I mean, there were some good parts, like the writing and some scenes. But overall, the visuals were confusing. It felt like the game was like a Frankenstein, made up of different assets from different engines and styles.
And the music was terrible. It was like some cheap polyphony that, after 30 minutes, started to annoy me unbearably. It even made me turn the volume down.
The main plot was pretty boring and predictable – it's a classic story about a heroine getting corrupted. The thing is, it all happens so quickly and without much thought, which makes me wonder why the developers didn't pay more attention to that crucial moment. And then there's the weird setting: it starts out like it's in the Wild West at the start of the 20th century, and then all of a sudden there are knights and monks! But I guess that's just part of the author's vision.
There's basically no gameplay to speak of. They've announced a combat system that vaguely reminds me of the one in LonaRPG, but if they actually worked on it in that game, here it's just some basic waving of stick. Character progression doesn't get any attention either. So the whole experience boils down to walking between dialogue, scripted cutscenes and boring fights. The enemies are all boring, being just a bunch of generic dummies.
The multiple endings don't really save the game either. To be honest, none of them really moved me emotionally. They seem like they were just added for show, to make the game longer and more varied.
And finally, there's an NTR tag but in reality, there's no NTR. The heroine mentions her boyfriend (which can't be considered NTR) a few times in scenes and there's a chastity scene. That's about it, so it's kind of a let down.
All in all, I'd say this is a passable game. If you have nothing better to play, give it a try, but I'd probably look for something else.

I was skeptical when I saw the art but decided to give it a try nonetheless.

It's good and could have been great.

Pros:
+Good amount of decently written scenes
+A good variety of endings other than the final ones
+No real "Game Over" other than a single boss
+Variety of characters to interact with.

Cons:
-No real true ending, none of the main ones are an actual good ending, the best one doesn't even solve the drug trafficking.
-The main plot revolves around mind controlling drugs yet the plot has almost zero mind control scenes.
-The minigames are either laggy or glitchy.
-The combat is a bit glitchy.
-If you don't get the Silver Bullet from your fiancée before the last segment of the game you'll have to restart the entire thing to get it as there is no new game plus... Even worse if you get it and beat the bonus boss you get an item that has no apparent use that I could find.

I won't criticize the artist even when the art clearly isn't top notch and is quite inconsistent, but my real problem is how the story has no real ending and how the plot revolves around a drug which apparently mind controls females... It's used on Amelia, who is immune to it, and it's used once in one of the main endings... As such there was no point whatsoever in making it a mind control drug...

It is curious that the negative part of this game is found in the sexual section, which is what should matter, let me explain:
The Good:
- History - Good
- Protagonists - The best of the game
- Atmosphere and soundtrack - Nice
- Gameplay - It's not boring and it's not long either, that's fine.

Bad:
- Very repetitive scenes - without a doubt the worst part of the game
- Very few scenes with Amelia - Apart from the shota, the rest only have the final scene with sex.
- Cecily doesn't last at all, she hardly puts up any resistance - Apart from the big nose, most of the scenes with the others are boring and are repeated over and over again.

- Many scenes don't look good and they show you the same images superimposed all the time so you understand what the girl is doing. For example, she is giving a blowjob, you don't see the action as such and they give you a superimposed image that you will see a thousand times in the game.

Despite what has been said, it is not a bad game, but there is no doubt that it could have been better and that in the long run the repetitive scenes will tire you out, a shame because Cecily and Amelia are 10 characters in both personality and design.

This game is another great addition to the NTR genre by this dev. The game follows two characters the sheriff Cecily and the Temple (Nun) Knight Amelia as they work to uncover a mysterious plot in a backwater village. The game is considerably larger than the dev previous works, being around 5+ hrs for the main story.

The game play is decent, you fight enemies or earn money to progress the story and uncover the truth behind the village. Each girl has a unique corruption method with the nuns being a linear ‘faith’ number which as it increases unlocks more scenes, where as the sheriff has an ‘arousal’ level that resets each time a scene is unlocked.

The combat mechanics can be reasonably difficult even if at times a little grindy, due to how the sheriff arousal system works. The artwork while simple seamlessly combines both still images and animation together to make some really incredible scenes. The game has 40+ scenes for each character with a large cast of characters all of which having their own unique ending.

The overall writing is well done with characters actions usually feeling genuine and not immersion breaking and the story overall is decently entertaining.

My biggest complaint with the game is the corruption pacing for the sheriff, as it often feels rushed with limited buildup or resistance made. This is really evident when compared between different male options and especially to the nun who for the most part feel quite slow paced.

Other notes:

• Some menus for minigames and character aren’t fully translated.
• Ran into an issue triggering the vanilla route love scene for the sheriff after finishing the game.
• Have to beat game to use the gallery unlocker

From the screenshots I was quiet sceptical, however after started playing I began to enjoy it. Initially not a big fan of this type of art but it's not bad. Highly recommend this game. One thing I really liked, after unlocking the ending you are brought back to previous save point to unlock other scenes.

While the art is rough around the edges, this is a real work of passion. There is a lot of quality content on display, with the dev clearly putting a lot of effort into each route.

A real treat for fans of the genre, cannot recommend enough

An okayish game, or that's what I'd like to say, but honestly there's just not much to this game. But 4 stars for effort.

Pros:
-Good art
-Naughty scenes(not only vanilla, but also things like glory hole or cow milking)
-Battles aren't standard encounters, instead you press a button and swing your weapon, hitting enemies that approach you.
-Easy to acquire H scenes, not much grind in the game overall, not including trying to increase estrus value.
Cons:
-Cuckolding should be one of main points of the game, but there's almost nothing of it. A few lines of text where heroines remember that sheriff girl's got a boyfriend and 2 or 3 scenes with some netori in it (like main hero in a chastity cage watching his girlfriend getting fucked), but that's it.
-Almost no corruption. There is a screen with H stats and heroines' lewdness (or development/faith lvl) , but it's so easy to collect scenes - you just get excited from fighting enemies and running around and go to collect hearts on the map. There's a little grind in getting estrus value, but I just cheated it every time since it's very boring to collect it manually.
-Some scenes are required to progress the game, you cannot avoid them and so that leads to another problem - you have no choice whatsoever. You can either just go and finish the game, collecting required scenes or you can go and collect hearts on the map and they will give you additional scenes and "endings" after seeing which you can just go back to continuing main story. So, you don't have much choice and all your choices don't really matter.

Conclusion: an okayish game with decent art(I even liked a few scenes, like really good job), but isn't interesting and gets boring very quickly. I got tired after around an hour and just started cheating everything and opening scenes. A good game to get you in the mood if you have a lot of free time and not many games to play, but is very lacking in all aspects. I would rate it as 3 stars at max, but the amount of decent games released recently makes me thankful that this game wasn't full trash, because I'm tired of wasting time on low effort games.

The art isn't the best for sure, but it really does have its charms and I'm already used to it from the devs other games (loved the gyaru wife).

But the scenes are just golden. Nice variety, they aren't 100% static and they hit a lot of checkboxes of stuff that I like. Simply amazing.

My dick hurts, 10/10.

TLDR: Very solid game. If you can accept the art style. It is worth a try.


Gameplay: 3/5 - While combat can be clunky at times, it is not difficuklt and offers some variation from your usual RPGM mechanics. The mini-game can be a bit annoying given you need to grind a bit to see scenes on the Nun.

Artstyle: ?/5 - Given this is probably the most controversial part of the game, it is probably best if you just look at some of the preview screenshots yourself. For me it was a 3/5. Definitely not something I'd rank high but it has its own special charm and is quite memorable tbh.

Scene Quantity: 5/5 - The surprising factor for me. I didnt expect the amount of scenes available. The scenes are not just a 1-2 still image too. There are even scenes when both characters match certain requirement.

Scene Variation: 4.5/5 - A good variation of different plays split across two characters. Most are pretty predictable but nevertheless enjoyed them. The writing is decent too.

Story Plot: 3/5 - Not a game I am playing for the story and I am perfectly fine without it. The corruption part is as you would expect. Yes the scenes are basically you actively choosing to slut the FMC around given there are alternate choices available to not do so, but this is so common in these games I am not going to get annoyed by it.

Sound: 4/5 - Nothing to write home about but checks all the parts you care about.


Overall a 4/5 for me, which was certainly unexpected as I was one of the people who were unsure of its artstyle. But I gave it a try and I end up enjoying it quite a bit.

Really good game, number of scenes, story, dialogue, hentai dialaogue, scene settings are all good. The combat is also decent but really not that important. Everything about this game from the story to the corruption is 10/10.

The only thing that brings this game down a bit is the quality of the art, it's honestly just passable. The dialgue and 'lewdity' helps a lot, but the art it self is very average.

Otherwise it's a perfect game.

As a first proper game from this dev that isn't a kinetic novel (well, technically a visual novel with branching linear paths where your only choice of the branching path was in the beginning of the game lol) in RPGM format, I am thoroughly impressed with how this game turned out and can forgive some of the annoyances I had with it. This game has made me optimistic for what the next game they will make if this game is any preview of things to come.

As for the game itself, it's an action rpgm game, with some mini-games regarding the church protagonist. The action is similar to bullet-hell or shoot-em-up games but played on rpgm so it's much more primitive in comparison (not necessarily bad either). Another reviewer has already touched on the story already so I won't go into that. If you've played any rpgm game with similar story premises, you'll know what its like and what to expect plot-wise and H-scene wise.

The H-scenes weren't anything special by themselves since if you've played similar RPGM games, you know the song and dance, but the presentation, progression, and variety of them in this game did exceed my expectations (which again, was kind of tempered considering his older games) so I was pleasantly surprised. It's mostly NTR, pleasure corruption, exploitation, or blackmail so if that's not for you, this ain't the game for you. Although I will mention, there IS a vanilla ending.

One gripe I do have with the game is that it's actually a bit annoying to go for the H-scenes because with the main protagonist, you have to go into the action areas to build up her lust to get access to them. With the church protagonist, you have to build up points by playing minigames and talking to specific NPCs to get access to hers. While not a "game unplayable" level of complaint, it was a mild annoyance that I hope the dev learns from and makes the experience better in his next game.

The gist of this porn game is two beautiful women being out in some town to protect and aid people, and apprehend criminals, but as they try to do so they get in more and more sexual situations against their will and get more and more corrupt. It's a pretty old porn trope but can be hot when done well. I don't think it's that interesting this time. Cecily and Amelia don't offer much resistance and the corruption is pretty quick. It's just kind of boring. What's worse is that the art is damn mediocre, so it's hard to get aroused from it. I guess some people enjoy seeing fat bastards screwing girls or NTR stuff in general, but fat bastards kinda turn me off. Even worse is that the combat is dry and minigames feel like a waste of time.

STRONGLY RECOMMEND FOR FANS OF ACTION RPGS

Two playable characters can be swapped between throughout the game with the main character (silver hair) having a fiance who she can cheat on. The visuals are unique, the gameplay is engaging, but the real beauty of this experience comes from the writing. Each ending to the game offers a brand new perspective on the possibilities of life simply by going down a different path. I won't spoil too much, but I will say its my favorite RPG of 2024 so far. Not too long, not too short, its an instant classic that's well worth playing for both NTR fans and people who like general corruption as well.

Well, definitely not a game for me. Played it for about an hour before I deleted it. Super annoying combat and no real NTR build up.

Art is ok, not the best. But not the worst I've seen. But when the art isn't super good the story really has to carry and this one was just boring to me.

Id say this is more along the aspect of being a game than porn. When I play porn games I'm not looking to be actively gaming, so it just kinda annoyed me more than anything.

Id say its worth wasting an hour on it to see if you like it, it's definitely going to be hit or miss for people. For me, it was a miss.

The game is good. It's a rpg with some minigames. Both the main girls are very well designed and there are A LOT of scenes and different endings, some are even kinda animated. Most of the scenes are pretty vanilla (a bit ntr to be honest), but they are all pretty avoidable. There is also a full gallery ingame (where you can unlock everything), just reach the main hub of the game!

Solid all around. This game is an example of how devs can make great games with rpgm. The combat is actually fun. Bosses are decent challenges, and there are interesting minigames. This makes the tiny bit of grind in the game not feel like a chore.
The story is nothing crazy in general, but the characters make you invested enough. Hell, I cleared the game wthout going too much into the h-content, because I genuinely wanted to know more about the character, especially Amelia, the nun, and big-nose guy.
From what I could see, the h-content is really good. The art may not be for everyone, but I like it. This is subjective though.
I can't talk about the translation because I played it sometime ago in JP.
If I don't give 5* to this game, then 99% of the rpgm stuff on this site deserves negative score. This is an actual videogame, not just something that could just be ported in Renpy and be just as good
