RPGM - Symphony of the Serpent [v.08111] [NLT Media]

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.

Edit: It's not looking good bruv. How is the animations quality worse than TGO. And it's gonna take 3-4 years to complete at this rate with the current update schedule.

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

I think I'm finally done with any more NLT games. After Lust Epidemic (great game!), Treasure of Nadia (OK-ish game) and The Genesis Order (OK-ish as well), the most recent game "Symphony of the Serpent" is quite disappointing so far. Although I kinda like the new isometric view -- it has its pros and cons. I also do have issues with all of the (so far) introduced female characters in this game. Most of them seem to represent a more MILF type with huge breast which I don't like at all (that's the reason I rated the last two games from NLT "OK-ish" rather than great!), and also the first beta release of this game has quite a couple of game breaking bugs: I do like the fighting mini game they have added, but it's bugged as f*ck -- sometimes enemies just freeze and stop moving at all, and sometimes you just get hit with no enemies being nowhere near you. Sometimes you just get stuck in an area with no way to return to the map, and you'll have to reload a previous game. I hope NLT will fix those bugs in the next version, which might be the last version of the game I will playing unless they will add/introduce some decent and appealing female characters.

At first glance it's very laggy. The characters look a little cartoonish. The combat system is too clunky. The animations and graphics are excellent as always, but everything is spoiled by the compressed rendering quality. I don't really like the main character. We'll wait for updates.

The cinematic as always is topnotch, the female characters are all beutifully render. Now here are my issue first the main character is a downgrade if you compare it to TGO and ToN. The isometric view might look good but its kinda hard to get use to especially when using the directional button even the mouse, it makes me dizzy truth to be told. The combat system is another problem for me to get in the back of the opponent and hit them, or using the environment if the view is the same as TGO it might be doable but the isometric view is kinda hard getting use to. It took me 10 tries and 20min just to beat the thugs in the final part of the game.

I know I said alot of negative on the game but it is still a good game and there will be alot of development that they can improve if possible return the top camera view rather than the isometric view

For now i'm giving it a 3 stars.

Average at best so far.
Isometric view seems like a step down and pretty gimmicky.
The new characters dont look as good and polished, just something off about them. Overall it doesnt look as crisp graphics wise.

NLT Media has once again proven why they are one of the few game developers committed to continuous updates and delivering better content. Their latest release is a testament to their dedication to quality and player satisfaction.

From the outset, the game captivates with its stunning visuals and immersive storyline. The attention to detail is remarkable, making every scene feel vibrant and alive.

Really well-designed world and setting, gorgeous maps and art really remind you of those old school top-down games. The voice acting is really nice and give it a depth that’s not really seen in adult games. The premise is interesting and the story is intriguing. The interface is very smooth and a great deal of effort was put in making it as quick and seamless as possible.

The characters look good. Grace looks really nice with a good amount of potential. Julia looks very similar to Dexter's mom lol. Amira looks amazing, really glad they gave us a Middle Eastern MILF! Lola just looks hot as heck. Margaret looks interesting but I hope we get to see more of her outside that robe soon.

The only issue I have with this one is the fighting can get frustrating, the cursor is pretty inaccurate so more often than not you'll end up running to the side of the enemy and getting hit. Once you get hit the game glitches out in some places and has to be reloaded. Not really a fun experience when it happens.

I expect this will get addressed in future updates but it’s still a small gripe.

Very short but has great renders, funny dialogue (it does fit the theme), interesting setup and has an interesting plot. Good luck to the dev, I reckon this game will become pretty big. On thing though, the game is unneccessarily large. No reason for so little content to be 1GB> images probably could be compressed, especially since the compressed version is around 300MB.
TLDR: pretty good first release, well worth checking out, perhaps a bit too big and images/animation should be compressed
