RPGM - Completed - Taima Miko Yuugi [Final] [Unko morimori maru]

Just finished the game, gotta say it's prob one of the best HRPGs I've ever played. I haven't played that many non-H RPGs, so I can't say much about that, but the story alone is legit top tier.

Actually, scratch that. So far, this is the single best HRPG, and possibly the single best H game, period, that I've played. The amount of love and passion the circle has put into this game is astounding. The characters are likeable and their banter is fun. The story ranges from silly and funny to serious and heart wrenching. Some of the best writing of all H games, hands down.

The H in the game is also top tier. The art is amazing, H attacks have their own unique standing poses for the PC, and there are also the bigger CGs for H crits, on top of scenes for losses.

I'll have to admit, the game is somewhat grindy, and occasionally the fighting isn't really that well balanced. But the game has no perma-death (other than for specific bosses, not trash mobs), so even dying isn't that big of a deal. The gameplay itself is also a lot better than most HRPGM games. Some thought actually has to be put into the combat, and the consequences of getting hit by H attacks isn't so crippling that you can't do anything. The game also actively encourages you to get hit by critical H attacks by giving you skillpoints for every one of them that you find. (You gotta go down the toilet and interact with the hopping enemies to get the skillpoints. Didn't know that at first and only realized after being three or four dungeons deep) CGs for the specific boss are also unlocked after you beat them, so you don't have to grind out losses. You have to get the mob to crit an H attack on you to get their CGs though.

Hoping for the circle's newest game to get a translation as soon as possible, but from what I've heard it'll be another few years before we get a proper translation, since apparently that game has 650,000 japanese characters. Then again this game also took a few years to get a proper translation.

Best of luck to the translators and to the circle, and thank you for making/translating this absolute gem of a game!

PS. Responding to some of the other reviews:

First: Pressing and holding down shift speeds up cutscenes and dialogue for cutscenes.
Second: If you don't like Mayu commenting on everything, you can turn her off in the inventory under the "Mayu's notes" section.

Above-average RPGM game in terms of production quality, but with several issues that makes me hesitate to recommend it.

Gameplay is monsters battle-fuck, with a good variety of different enemies and attacks. However, the tediousness and difficulty are so high, you have to either grind a lot or resort to cheat engine for infinite HP, even then fights take way too long.

There's also no way to skip dialogue but to mash Enter, and the overhead companion likes to comment on EVERYTHING, all the time. It soon loses it's charm and becomes very annoying.

A fantastic little hidden gem. The characters are lovable, the jokes are funny, the sex is hot. Oh yeah, and the gameplay is actually fun! Forget the billions of cookie-cutter RPGM games where you just spam attack and heal: if you play this game on Normal or Hard, you will absolutely be tested on your understanding of the game's systems. (If you play on Easy, you can still just do whatever).

This used to be a tough game to recommend, because the translation was insanely bad. But it's fixed now, to a point where it's almost flawless. Definitely give it a try if you enjoy combat sex/bondage mechanics.

This game's difficulty curve is really good.
I enjoyed the combat a lot, h-moments in battle are my kinda thing and this game delivers them really good. I highly recommend playing it in at least normal difficulty. Hard might feel really hard and force you to grind. Easy will just ruin your experience imo.
I miss judged the game and started with hard cuz I wanted to get those battle h-scenes pop up often. You know these kinda games generally makes you lose battles intentionally so you can see the h-scenes. But I was wrong. This sh**t gets really rough once 4 monsters starts to appear in one fight and they decide to do ''lewd moves'' at the same time. But getting banged by buncha monsters is a good thing because you obtain items from them to permanently increase your combat stats. So game kinda encourages you to have sex with monsters and you don't have to intentionally lose because of it's balanced difficulty.
Boss fights are also nightmare. They have gimmicks and you have to make a strategy to beat them. You can't just spam same thing over and over. I tried evasion build but magic attacks destroyed my **s.
Overall gameplay, art and h-content 10/10 for me.
Story ? I don't understand jack tbf. It's MTL and most of the texts doesn't even fit your screen. It's just you play as a dumb FMC and have an inconsiderate step sister. You're on a journey to exorcise stuff. It's a comedy. I'd still recommend the game because you're not missing too much without a proper translation.
Although this game deserves a translation %100.

Taima Miko Yuugi [Final] [Unko morimori maru]
I'm starting off by saying I'm not a fan of violating monsters, except if monsters have similarities to humans, but there have been some good games with these scenes, so I was able to appreciate them.
Not on this game. The drawings are too confusing, you don't understand anything. H-moves that last 2 years and repeatedly spam by enemies, even after defeat.
Slow and boring fights.
Really a shame because it promised well, I was very disappointed.
Dropped after realizing it's not a game for me.
I don't recommend the game.

The game started so good, but I could see myself having less and less fun. The sex scenes follow almost every fetish I don't like and so with every level I got more bored to look at the sex scenes and just play the game (a sex game where I dont want to have sex).

Cons:
-Grindy. Since its RNG what you get in the boxes you can spend a lot time grinding for specific items to craft a better armor or weapon. Also you are always low on money.
-The story is boring and I almost went crazy, because of the stupid Harvest Moon jumping sound in the cutscenes. Like the sex scenes in the mid-game I just stopped caring, since it was not really interesting.
-Some scenes should be skippable. After getting defeated it takes too much time even with the skip button.
-Bad Monster Designs. Normals rats just with a third eye. Tengus (stupid dumb looking creatures). Dogs with humans faces. Molester Ghosts (funny yes, but who wants to be fucked by air looking ghosts)
-To few penetrative sex scenes. Almost everything is just rubbing her.

Pro:
-Very Good RPG. The RPG part is very good and entertaining and was my last reason to continue to play. Good Mechanics in the fight itself and the bosses
-Solid artwork.
-Hentai Train. Was really funny. But the humor often is really forced.

If you like the monsters and their sex scenes in a very good RPG than you have it here. Its just not my cup of tea. After reaching the last level I just stopped playing. I could not finish the game. I played for 5h and 02 minutes.

A really good game with decent art and amazing story. The combat system are quite fun, there are Rape during battle scenes but you will receive some boosts after being rape so... it's quite a win-win.

Although the game looks quite old, the story and its gameplay are still better than most of recent games, especially character development. About the gameplay, it's a typical RPG where you'll go through maps and defeat the boss. However, as you go through the map, you will see many interactions between our MC and her sister, which are really funny and interesting. The game also reminds me of those retro RPG games with many interactions and lovable story telling, which is quite rare nowadays.

As flawless as that, the game still has some drawbacks. The most thing must be its H-scenes. 90% of them will include tentacle and you may find this quite... recycled. Most of the scenes are just pure defeated scenes and some will be rape during battle, there won't be any other kind of scene except rape and rape... However, some H-scenes are really sad and ... not good for the meat, but for our heart.

In the end, this game is a really fun game and i love it a lot. From playing for scenes, the game actually makes me go for its gameplay and the family story. I think it's worth a try and you won't regret it.

I came for the porn, stayed for the story. The H conent is really nice, the art is gorgeous. The game is fun. Honestly, finding H games that are genuinely fun to play is hard, so actually finding a gem like this is a good feeling. Take away the H content, and you still have a legit fun rpgm with a compelling story.

The story. At first i just jumped into this game like any other, gonna collect dem H scenes, appreciate the art, business as usual. As i progressed through game, slowly but surely, the hunt for H scenes lost their importance, and soon i was driven by the sole purpose of reaching the end of the story, which i adore. I've said this a few times, when i've found other gems, but, I'm not supposed to get emotional over an H game.

I'm glad that i've invested my time to play this properly, I'm also glad that i was emotionally invested too.

10/10 would cry again.

Highly recommended.

This game really surprised me! I went in because I thought it looked nice but I stayed for the hentai content, fighting system and the story. The story seriously is very good when it starts going. The CGs are really nice. You can have sex mid-fight and I like the funny thing about enemies leaving things in your pockets after sex (like a love-letter etc. these items also increase some of your stats). Fighting system is also surprisingly fun. Definitely one if my favourites.

This game has a really fun combat system, seriously better than most other Hgames but there's one big problem. It doesn't turn me on, human faced dogs, things trying to fuck you with their noses and snakes biting your tits. If you like this kind of thing than go for it but for me it doesn't do it.

A real gem that succeeds both as an H-title, and as a fun RPG with well thought out game-play, interesting bosses, fun dialogue, lots of beasties, character progression and story. A lot of love went into this game and its characters, and while the original translation (when I played it a few years ago) was a bit funky, it kind of added to the charm as our two quite childish protagonists bicker and banter, with a lot of dialogue that'll make you smile.

The gameplay consists of segmented field zones leading up to a boss, enemies all have their weaknesses and bosses usually have their own battle gimmicks which keep things interesting as you figure things out.

Your character has progression as well both in the story and with new abilities you can learn at your own pace, these abilities will be vital against some enemies and bosses, but I think a powerful or tactical enough set-up can brute force a lot of encounters (although risky for some).

The story itself isn't anything too unique, but the characters are loveable and interesting in their owns ways, and the boss fight mechanics means few villains come across as pushovers when you actually fight (unlike most RPGs). One of few titles that really got me engrossed and invested in it as I played, and a little emotional as well.

I started this game with my pants down, but my initial desire for H-scenes was replaced with a desire just to play the game, I found myself giggling a fair bit throughout, and soon I was feeling every emotional beat the game was playing for me. You could play it as a pure H-title (or skip through the gallery with a 100% save file) and find a lot of content there, but the game itself is really fun and worth playing through.

Genuinely regard it as one of, if not the best HRPG I've played, and would thoroughly recommend to anyone even remotely interested by the screenshots.

I came for the porn but I stay for the gameplay.

This game is translated by amateurs. There is no doubt about that, but it is still miles better than machine translated. I really like the art style and the plot of this game. The funky dialogue, and little character interaction manage to charm me so much that I bought the Japanese version of the game on Dlsite.
The only downside is that the font for dialogue box is too big hence causing a lot of words to be covered by the limited screen. Patches to smaller font does not help for the font looks puny and small.

All in all, I support wholeheartedly this circle future works, as well as all translation project for this
