RPGM - Succubus Covenant Generation One: The Cursed Forest [Sidestory v8] [Olympus]

THICC!!! That's the first thought that wen't through my head....and a few other thoughts too just looking at the preview art.

Upon playing it though it exceeded my expectations. Storywise it's well written and it really drags you in, a lot of games, especially porn games don't do that but this reminds me of games where you really get into it and you begin to emphasise with the characters. I'll admit the beginning was a little cringy and the similiarity to Assassins creed in that regard almost made me give up BUT, I'm glad I didn't, it takes you through being a little boy, collecting firewood and normal stuff, into watching someone be drained (and yes you really see it happen and the music just adds to it) and suddenly you are catapulted into the story, you and 3 other young boys train together, sleep in the same barracks and even that you get into the story and the personalities of each one, you have survival elements with them, i.e. having to collect food, water and battle things together. You even watch them grow into men, into brothers in arms. That alone is beautifully done. (you also pick your background which people do remark on which is a nice touch).

Then you're thrust (no pun intended) into a succubi filled world, the pictures are on point, huge T&A!!! Combat you actually HAVE to be strategic, some enemies will whoop you no matter what and should be avoided, some are weak. There (as far as I can tell) is NO level up system. You have to customise your defence, health etc with runes that you find. Hence the strategy. Combat is the standard RPGM but with in combat H scenes, if they tempt you during a battle it can be dangerous, which leads me onto the H scenes themselves:

The H scenes, you FEEL the temptation and the WILL DRAINING, it's not just click button, now you are fucking a picture of a succubus in a video game, you can be tempted in combat and even before, you have the option to resist using your will or to continue, so it's like they start off giving you a blowjob and then you can either resist or continue, but you won't see any sex if you resist, but if you accept it becomes a game of 'How far can I go with this succubus before I no longer have the option, that temptation is felt because YOU WANT to click continue, you WANT them to, but you don't know how many times you can click continue until your helpless and the option is to watch your character be drained. THAT is well done with such a simple mechanic there. You CAN have sex with them, you can cum but do you dare to press continue to see more?

There's also an added lure in that after a battle they tempt you to celebrate your victory over them...I've never pressed the 'yes' to that, but it's a case of have you weakened them enough or will they turn the tables, it's that gamble of no sex, how many scenes you can get away with or having your character that you've developed die. So it's not a simple GAME OVER screen, it's that battle of wills.

Definitely one to play.

This review is going to be long and cover a lot of the game. It will also contain many spoilers for the story. First off, This is a great game. Not many hentai games come close to this level of story telling or gritty tone.

Starting from a technical standpoint, the music is good. Both for the title screen and the combat and the more laid back tracks for quieter moments. Also, there are plenty of options as you can have both full screen and side screen and many more features.

The combat was great! While most RPG's have the players magically heal themselves during a fight, making damage taken in a previous fight or during a fight very manageable. Yet here, your character does keep the damage from enemies and if you want to heal, it will cost you items or a retreat to a bonfire, not a quick mana use ability that is easily recoverable.

Though for those who just want to see large breasted Succubus, you will not be disappointed. (The art style is some of the best I have seen on this website. ) But this game portrays Succubus as actual Succubus and not just a cheap gimmick to put beautiful women in front of you. How they work in the world makes sense and this lore is easily shown in both cut scenes, and books/notes you can read.

For the intro, really enjoyed the memory thing for your ancestors. It reminded me a lot of the Animus from Assassins Creed and was well implemented here. Also thanks for making this its own world of Yrdarvyr instead of on Earth. Easier to immerse the player.

Enjoyed how throughout the story, the humans always pray for angels to save them. It makes sense that this kind of religion would develop and stay around for thousands of years. This is shown when the Angels provide aid to the bones tribe in Chapter 1. And one line that really stuck with me in the prologue, "That you should submit to the will of Heaven or be devoured by the demons of hell" Will explain later.

The story really impressed me with both its world building and its characters. Each city state has a history that is alluded to show the conflict between the different city states and each character in your original four man party make it feel lived in. Also, it feels more realistic that if humans are not united in a common cause, human nations are constantly at each others throats. Though that is just the humans. The Succubi are just as interesting as they have lived for as long as humans and this makes sense. Succubi need a constant supply of humans to stay healthy and grow. Though the reason humanity can never wipe them out is the very reason humans live. We are creatures who need to create offspring to carry on, so nature gave us the desire to mate, also known as lust. Wherever humans go, even to the moons, the Succubi will always follow because of biological necessity. Though just like humans, Succubi have limited resources (humans) to drain and a near endless Succubi lifetime with being able to convert female humans to Succubi. Meaning, they will fight over humans to drain and this was brilliantly put into the story. Will save my thoughts on the Angels.

All right, after training and actually caring about these human factions and people in them from your interactions with your team, we get to perhaps the best scene in the story (And my personal favorite moment in all of 2-D RPG history). When Kain, the leader of the hunters and loyal servant of the Angels, kills his student Ajax by the orders of the Angels. Up until this part of the game, the Angels were almost always seen in a positive light. They give humans the tools to fight the Succubus with Iron Will. Yet even before this death, their always felt a distance from them. They way they would ban humans from going into their holy city. The way they would call you mortal, and a interaction with a Angel on top of the temple who admitted to despising interacting with humans. This death of a mentor made me sad but also got me thinking on just how similar Succubi and Angels really are. They are both eternally beautiful. The Angels have no problem having the humans fight the Demons instead of themselves, similar to a Succubi who prefers seducing their targets than fighting. This led me to get ANGRY at the Angels. Once you swore your allegiance to them, only death can release you. No retiring. Now this wouldn't be so bad if the Angles said you cannot leave to the gang at the beginning, I can be more accepting. Similar to the Nights Watch in Game of Thrones. At least in their creed, the rules are clearly spelled out. But they didn't tell us we are to die when we are of no use to them and to me, this shows deception. This also reminded me of the phrase said at the beginning "That you should submit to the will of Heaven or be devoured by the demons of hell" This got my blood pumping! I never had a stronger desire to raise my hand into the air to both factions (and the prophecy) and say "**** YOU". I am glad the intro said the Angels have abandoned us. If humans are to die to Succubus, let it be because of our lust and not our deceptive alliance with the Angels. This now makes me resent any character that prays for these deceptive, winged creatures for help. They will not save you. More likely to sacrifice you.

overall liked this game a lot. didn't like the story at first. but i came (a lot) around and now i am really interested in a follow up.

the art is great. it has :
big boobs = great
Massive boobs = even better
big ass = great
Massive ass = even better

just play it. its great.

Nicely Done!
Loved the art style, animation effects are good, character building needs a litte touch.
The succubi characters are well designed in their each aspects.
The story of the game is interesting.
Seeing that this is just first era of the game meaning the game's under development. will be interesting to see how it evolves further.

Very cool game, played through this version twice already

Pros:

+ Good variety of succubus and characters
+ Fully fleshed out story
+ Great Artwork


Would be nice to have:

- Animations specifically for jiggly parts (ass, tits)

- Other types of interaction with succubus. Right now, you only have the choice to kill or be killed. Would be cool to have a quest where you partner up with a succubus or capture one to interrogate, etc

It's a VERY story focused rpgmaker game with hentai sprinkled over

And when the main focus is the story and it's pretty uninteresting, (repeating all the clichés from fantasy stories and succubus/monster girl h-games) the game just becomes a chore and the 2-3 high quality h-scenes don't make up for the long filler heavy story in between that the game wants you to care but the characters, the enemies, the setting is not remotely absorbing enough to do so. The fighting mechanics are equally as bad.

Lenghty story and rpg battles in H-games can be fun when it's done right (though rpg maker has a lot of limitations) . Just look at Monster Quest, the game would massively benefit if the devs were inspired by that, like in the delivery of the story; throwing 30 minutes of dull story told through rpg maker with little to no h-scenes is not a good way to do it and a battle system that rewards tactics would really improve things and not make you want to cheat to become OP and avoid repetitive heal spam with attack mashing so you can get to the high quality CG, the only thing worthwile here.

Great animation. Multiple female NPCs to have fun with, and a good story line. This is one of the best erotic RPGMs, I have ever played. I have two expectations from this game: first, introduce more succubus and stretch the story line ; and last, enhance the battle mechanism. Nonetheless, game is good. Keep up the good work. Best of luck.

I just finished the game from start to end with a little over 4 hours of game play so here is my review
this game is by far one of the best hentai games i have ever played and the story is on another level i never expected such a good story in this game and at the same time to have such good art and hentai scenes so this is literally a fappable good game and i can't wait to see its complete version and i believe it will be a jewel.

good things about the game this is my personal opinion ofc:
-you will be able to build your own tribe and have side characters live with you and even get quests from them and get scenes from like iole
-options for both fighting and fucking the succubi without being totally raped and be defeated
-upgrading your soaring gauntlet and who knows maybe even the rest of your equipment and sword of adalon in the future
-different types of scenes and not limit to a specific standard scene for all boss fights
-great story maybe one of the best things about this game and i think if this game was not a hentai game i would still love to play the game to watch its story
-clues and lore spread throughout the game which makes the game world more lively and worth exploring
-the game is an open world which is far better than a linear one and shows what you can expect from it
-looting system you can find a lot of chests full of rune or gold and herbs throughout the world too which makes your journey easier and fun

things i would love to be in the game and things that need to be focused on:
-gold is pretty much useless till the last update since you get medical herbs easily and there is no real market till now
-combat system is good but still a bit rigid and old schooled which could be improved and my advise would be to hire someone to implement a more flexible combat system
-no fast travel or teleportation system implemented yet and i would love to see one
-also there is no way to view old scenes you got and i think adding the album and map options in the inventory would be great for this open world rpg game
-the variety of the succubus is great and all but i still think a petite succubus would be desired and if possible please increase the amount of female side characters one can interact with and make love to like iole
-this is my opinion but i think adding some side mini games with rewards like items or powerups or even scenes to the game would be a wonderful addition

overall this game ranks in the top of all the hentai games i played and i am rooting for the dev of this game and wish him luck

Really enjoyed the game the story is good the lore is interesting also love how the succubi are presented very seductive and dangerous they can be for unprepared travelers , also the music is really good its and adds to the narrative of the story overall really solid game.

9/10 - v 0.5

Well, it's being a while since I played a RPGM that was actually a game.

One of the few games with an actual story and good pace, you get all the story from bits and not a 1 hour long scene. Pretty cool.

Combat, fun fights against succubus and not annoying mob fights. The battle could have a bit more variety with strategies, but they are enjoyable anyway (at least for the current lenght).

Now, the real plot...

Art: great, there isn't a bad CG in the game imo. Cute girls everywhere. Despite being all thicc gurls, the have enough body variation for keeping it interesting. I would like to see some petites girls with tight and perky ass in the future tho, lol.

Scenes: Great. Good variation, length and quality.

Overrall: F&F - Fun and Fappable. An actual game with good "plot". My only real complain would be that there is no gallery... but you know, with the save slot you can do some workaround I guess, there are more than enough slots.

A fairly great and competent game. With the first chapter i was not a big fan of the combat system, but i do think the new combat system is an improvement, it's challenging without it being annoying. The art and story are definitely what carries the game and are both very great.
So far
Combat 4/5
Art 5/5
Story 5/5
Characters 5/5
Sex scenes 5/5

I noticed there was some added voice acting and the animations are definitely a plus, hopefully they get added soon to chapter 2. If there is one thing i have to mention the game did crash on me twice in full screen in about 3 hours of playing the game, so hopefully that gets fixed, otherwise an extremely promising game.

artwork really gorgeous

If a little more sense of reality is given, I have no doubt that the characters will be a really great design. A very successful game.

the content is great, the atmosphere is nice, but some more work should be done.

Thanks for understanding. ^^

I never seen such a perfect game for slaves, with lust and extreme sensual lure for sex , with executrix from the superb succubus, which are professional killers that say words who make you to die for them.
The developer is very dangerous, he's master at the seduction psychology!!
Superb art style!
More succubus types can be added later, like vampires which will drink your blood while they will have sex and more, more fetishes , like golden showers, to be completely absorbed in the her anus, her pussy or in her mouth, or o be eaten alive while they make love with you.
This beta game is already very dangerous!! I like it too much!

It has an animated version, enough said. Just joking.

Story 5/5
Animations 5/5
Combat 5/5
Life Drain 5/5 and 2/5
Art 5/5

The story is excellent and makes this feel like a complete game, as in a game that offers sex scenes, combat, and an immersive story, total package.

The Succubus' in this game feel more like a horror movie and genuinely give a feeling of terror during the sex scenes, which is just what I'm looking for in this game. Life Drain unfortunately gets 2 ratings, a 5 in it's presentation and a 2 in being instant death with no way of breaking the drain after the final transformation.

Overall this is a great game to play with lots of potential, if you like Succubi, Life Drain, a story driven game, and combat.

Pros:
- art is amazing.
- story is pretty good.
- the succubus are GOD!

Cons:
- H-scenes are lacking a bit, you have 3 scenes per enemy i would like 4 per enemy like the extra one being when you win and shoes to fuck them.
- gameplay loop is lacking a bit - gauntlet, attack a few times, end battle and repeat.

Anyway i Love the demo and the first chapter. Looking forward for future updates such as new succubus of course.

Great !
The art is amazing
The writting skill more than competent

A pleasure to play multiple time to see everything possible !

Unfortunately I never was the kind of guy who write a lot so I can't post this vote without writting more but once again : this game is amazing, don't hesitate to support the creator via patreon !

I loved playing this game. It's animated, it's a decent story that can involve sex into it. Great images, great character art and design. I'm definitely awaiting the update to this. The only thing I'd improve upon in this game would be to have more rough animation scenes. Otherwise, it's gold!

Version 0.4

It is still a bit early t give a proper review so i won't write too much and will keep it short.

The Art is VERY good and attractive, i definetly enjoyed it but i know that some people don't enjoy oversized Breasts and/or Asses. So if you don't mind oversized body parts, you will enjoy the Artwork.

Gameplay, it is an RPGM game but i honestly didn't mind, some people keep hating on RPGM but i don't see why, there was NO GRIND in this game, you get your items very easily, you can buy skills very easily and not at all expensive, i fought and won every battle without any problem. You progress with a very nice pace throughout the Story.

Story is simple but nice, the characters are interesting and fun, i enjoyed the banter between some characters in the game. It is still a bit too early to properly rate the Story but at this moment, it is good.

Content, for a game that is at version 0.4 i have to say that there is a good amount of content, many other games don't have that much content, good job dev!

I give this game 4 stars, what would make me give it the 5th star would be, more animations and controls. Like choosing what to do with the succubus (oral, vaginal or anal sex). I understand that the game makes the Succubus take on a dominant role, but i would like to see it possible for the MC to somehow "take over".

To finalize, i can only recommend this game, please don't disregard it just because it is made with RPGM, this is a very enjoyablle game that really is easy to play and has very good art.

From what I've played It's great. I loved the story and all elements up to date and can't wait for more updates, Quality sprites, characters, temptations, etc. Considering it's only on it's third version (Currently 10/27/2019) It has a surprisingly large amount of content and is very entertaining.

The game has a lot of promise with one of the best art I've seen and one of the best stories I played. The art itself is a treat and considering the fact that the story is so good to the point of been played only for it, it makes thing even better. I did not expected that for a hentai game to be honest. There are two downsides though, imo. First, the combat can be boring, but then again it's hard to create a good and balanced one. Considering that this is the first game from Zion it might take a while for him to nail it. Second is something that the author already promised to address, body types. I want to see more variations for it. If you are looking for a mindless hentai game where "sex happens" and that will soon be forgotten, you must turn back and leave as it's not for you. If you are looking for a game that will become one of the heaviest names of the hentai world in a few years, with great art, scenes, story, characters and hopefully diverse body types and great combat, look no further. You found it.
