RPGM - Symphony of the Serpent [v.03083] [NLT Media]

its not a bad game but the special feeling that NLT media created with TON and LE has gone.. the chareter designs look awful and the build up to the sex scenes isent good.. it feels like he thinks more is better but in reality TON was a perfect balance of evrtyhing.. plot.. build up etc etc..

i still recomend this game becuse it is a high quilty project with lots of lewd sences but as a fan from the beging this and his previous game TGO is like godfather 3 far from the masterpice of the first and second.. but is a okey ride non the less

Finally the continuation of the series of games from nlt media is finally released, it looks promising after seeing the trailer and that it is tested in the games. I'm impatiently waiting for the next update

I just monkey around in the game little bit. I am going to wait for another review and gameplay for after couple of months.
So far:
- I didn't like Genesis Order character designs(nightmare fuel tbh, only good one was Kimura) but characters in SotS are looking way better. I usually don't like younger looking characters but Grace is really looking good. My main interest of milf characters are still lacking but finally getting there. Shame tho, NLT was creating godly milf characters in the past. I hope they found that spark again.
- There seems to more character interaction in the game. I always liked NLT story and universe. Sex virus, aphrodisiac drugs, ancient magical sexual powers, only good mind control missing tbh.
But my problem with NLT games, woman characters are dull as it gets. They don't get jelaous, they don't get mad, etc. with each other after find out MC is fucking other girls. they just jump into threesome. I am not calling NTR, just saying there should be more interaction, feelings and emotions. So when scene hit, we can immerse with the game. Finding treasure and clicking couple of puzzle is not doing that.
- They are evolving with gameplay with every game and there some new mechanics in these one too. I have nothing to say it, its fun but sometimes could be annoying, just saying.
- *This is my personal wish and taste but I would love to see different body types like mildly bimbo and athletic looking gals. And non saggy big tits , I was sad when they changed Madalyn tits to saggy ones in ToN. I am still hopeful to see that in future games. But I would like to see a bimbofication sequence in the game, come on we are dealing with sexual magic stuffs

It's a really good one as usual from NLT. Much more better than most of any other corn games.
It's the 1st class, 5 stars and kind of AAA among corn games. This is one of games in series I'd keep watching and following.
The best from NLT for now would still be Treasure of Nadia followed by Genesis Order, IMO.

I really don't understand the low rating given by some on this game. Most of their reasons doesn't sound like quite reasonable at all.
Some bad reviews giving low ratings are actually just nagging about what they want in the game. Something that just really a matter of passing by, move on and look into any other games that suit and fit their taste on this site.
NLT has its own style, signature or trademark, whatever you'd like to call it, and it may stay that way with their own characteristics.

There are many other games with far worse qualities. Far worse models, animation, graphic and visual in general. Some even look like hand drawn, sketchy, edgy, pencil or crayon kindergarten drawings . Too sharp, too contrast, too dark, too bright, etc. Their storyline, gameplay or minigames are also so silly and difficult to understand at the same time. And the list goes on.
Yet they got ridiculously far higher ratings. Even goes past 4 point. FFS.
Where's the criticism? Where are these critics? Why here on this game?

Again, for me, this is one of very few games I'd always be watching and waiting for. Don't just rely on the ratings given and shown. Try it yourself. Too many far worse games got unreasonable higher ratings on this site. They shown those bad qualities some people say about this game. Yet again they still got ridiculously higher ratings.
If you want to understand what I am saying, just look into it.

(v.02082)

Promising so far, but not much content yet. I think Treasure of Nadia is still the gold standard, and while I liked Genesis Order, I think it was a slight step down. I'm curious to see how this one shakes out. It looks like most of the old NLT mechanics have returned, slightly retooled. I'm open to change and look forward to seeing more. The battle system could maybe use a little work, but I don't mind it really. I don't like the AI art elements, however. They're used somewhat sparingly, but I find them distracting and a little weird. At least it's just bits and bobs, not the characters themselves, which look good so far.

This game has a potential to be a popular but seems not gonna happen, the combat system has ruin everything, I can't even complete the quest where to kill those robbers on the apartment .
You know what I like the other games who has a beautiful kind of girls on the game it seems it's totally sucks everything is ugly

Played a bit and it is quite funny. I can see an evolution in scenes details and game mechanics. Dialogues are very decent and atmosphere at the level of the previous games. I hope to see more refinement on the menu and maybe a better font. Great since now.

Its the same game we have seen before but done much worse.

At this point you know what you get when it comes to NLT games as you more then likely already played one of their previous games the only problem is that this time they tried to innovate in different ways, in ways people didn't really ask for.

Here are some reasons why i give it a 1/5.

The new combat system if you can call it that is atrocious and should have never been put into the game.

The girls are much worse and this is coming from someone who already thought the girls in TGO we're bad but the days of us getting love interests like Diana, Claire and Naomi are long gone.

The story should have been something new this time around but once again we find ourselves dealing with the same long running arc that started with lust epidemic.

As a final thought, this is the first time in a LONG time that i have no interest in a new NLT game.

NLT living up to the expectations once again. Great game so far, like the isometric view. A ton of girls, new ways to get hearts, fighting system, so much new things. The lip synced animations are great, the map is fun to navigate and the locations themselves are gorgeous with great colors and lighting. Music is fantastic as always. Every track fits the location very well.

Combat system ruins the experience completely. Also needs a quest tracker of some kind. Animations are better than last game, voices are a plus, but on the whole it feels so janky. Disappointed to see AI slop as useless details throughout the world as well.

For this type of combat system it is absolutely necessary to add hexagones and action points or at least turn sequence or remove it completely.
Game is needed in some type of questhelper, otherwise it's incredibly boring to walk through every location and inspect every shinie or unusual thing.
Although models are good and basically same with over NLT games.

stuck so many times on this game only for walking around with other NPC's, girls kinda ugly ngl, remove combat sucks so bad omg sooo annoying!!!!! and who ever said this is great idea never trust him again!

Incredible downgrade from past games; it’s as if NLT just keeps finding a way to artificially extend the games instead of making them fun. They keep adding gameplay mechanics that are a waste of time, I bet most players are just here for the story that comes from developing the relationship with the girls and the sex that comes out of it, not to level up or collect items. I wish they would ditch the RPG engine for something else. It was enjoyable in Lust Epidemic since everything was contained in one place, and it wasn’t cluttered with extra locations.

Now, with so many things to do, it feels like a huge time sink, which I’m not willing to deal with for a game like this. I hope the next game changes the formula because I’m done with the RPG Maker stuff. Besides, the stories always end up with a boring, senseless harem ending anyway, and NLT’s writing is pretty bad. The only thing that kept me coming back was the girls, but it looks like this time around he also fucked that up too.

These reviews are wild so lets make a few things clear.

incest isnt allowed on patreon games, so disliking the game on a personal preference is wrong.
NLTs formula isnt going to change. RPGM is the engine he likes, as he wants a game, and not just a story book click Visual novel
NLT is still in the top 10 for adult game creators on patreon, making great money and with huge steam sales to boot. There is no reason to make huge changes.
Also its WAYYYY too early to judge this game but here we go.

The models have a wider variety of types, to appease more players. you arent meant to like all of the women, and that is okay. but in the 16+ strong cast, there should be one or two girls you enjoy.

The move from the RPGMV engine to the new MZ engine has brought a fun isometric view, which has made the game seem way more modern. With games like Diablo, and BG3 having great success with this view. it was a good move by NLT.

The gameplay for the most part is the same as the old games. Its a formula that's worked since LE, and its now NLTs mark on the gaming space.

The graphics and resolution are limited by the game engine so never expect a 4k from NLT anytime soon. And it would also make the game HUGE to download.

Talking of the renders, animations and graphics. Since ToN NLTs games have been a stand out in the adult gaming space. Rivaling some of the best pure Visual novels.

NLTs main calling card is his consistency of output that can not be snuffed at. 2 updates a month, and 3 games already fully completed with zero abandoned projects. Which in this industry is super rare.

The game in its current state is still very raw. Lots of updates need to come before the story and the evolution of the fighting can be judged.

I know people want something new form NLT rather than the same model that never changes, but c'mon it's not fair giving it only 2/5.
Art 5/5 as always, despite that I'm getting tired of their game. Still, NLT's animation and models are one of the best on this website.
Story4/5, Not sure about this yet. It looks like a continuation of the pervious one, and if they are going to tell the same shit like TGO I´ll be disappointed. Lets hope they will get us something new.
Honestly I wasn't writing this at the beginning, just curious seeing why this game getting a 2/5 average, at the first release. That's just not fair. This is a good one, better than most of other porn games.

Just not as good as NLT's previous games, given what a brilliant game ToN was. TGO was kinda average and turned stale after a while.

Sure, regular updates and kinks in the fighting system can be worked out and we can get used to the isometric view, but... it's the characters.

They just don't have the same appeal anymore, Most of the women have a similar body type, but some just look creepy or outright ugly. I get that this is what sells, but, I personally won't be playing it.

Can't say much about the story yet, but if TGO was anything to go on, then It'll just evolve into another boring orgy fest, where the scene viewer will probably be more used than the newly developed fighting mechanic.

ToN was peak
TGO was slightly above average
SotS is mid (so far, but that may change)
Can't really give a proper rating yet, but, overall 3/5, but that may change depending on the later stages of the game

Terrible game, buggy and repetitive. Guy's been using the same receipe for years now, it seems that innovation isn't guarantee of quality. The girls are uglier, the game went down a path totally opposed to what we expected comming from Lust Epidemic and Treasure of Nadia.

NLT seems to be stuck in time. They are using the same engine, basically the same story, the same renders, the same characters and the best part of their games (the wincest) is now completely removed from their games. Additionally, their animations are already showing their age with stiff arms and strange looking faces. The gameplay, limited by RPGM itself, was rough since the beginning, so I am not going there.

While the visuals were top-notch 8 years ago and ok'ish 3 years ago, they are now overshadowed by a lot of other games. I am actually surprised they are doing the same AGAIN after The Genesis Order was already showing its age.

Very uninspiring lore that you just want to skip through, boring looking and generic characters, isometric view makes the game more difficult to navigate, the fighting mechanism is frustrating and doesn't work well. The game is not just plain vanilla, it's flavorless.

Once again a NLT game is not getting the credit it deserves in reviews.
Even from the start this looks like another top effort from them. The graphics and story are a step up from the last game.
Yes its the same NLT formula but that's still better than almost all games on this site. Content wise this dev is one of the best in getting updates out at a fast pace. The amount of content gets a 5 because of the devs track record.

Story 4/5, Originality 3/5, Renders 4/5, Playability 4/5, Performance 5/5, Animations 5/5, Amount of content 5/5
