RPGM - Completed - Talented Exorcist won't submit to Tentacle Demon [Steam] [k.y.k.y.]

At glance
Overall rating: A-
Length: Rather short, ~2h for a regular run, ~4-5h if you want to unlock all scenes

+ Solid, fast-paced R18 content experience with not that much of a grind...
- ...as the game is too easy, if you use all resources that you can.

Game as game
Story: 5.5/10 - pretty average, but at least solid - you have some locations and some NPCs with mini events, better than nothing
Gameplay: 4.5/10 - there are some different tactics you can use, but using all things that you can (lvl up scrolls and auto-heal ring) you can literally go through in no time - no grind approach taken to extremes
Graphics: 9/10 - artwork is very decent and top quality, locations are not that great, but are giving solid experience
Sound: 7/10 - soundtrack is good, related to overall setup of the game, you also have some voiceovers

H-content
Quality: 8/10 - most of the scenes are single or few images only with text, but drawing quality is outstanding (and you have them fullscreen )
Quantity: 7.5/10 - you have some event scenes, some after loss and a lot of battle cut-ins after tearing clothing (unfortunately only one stage of tearing it) - I have seen better, but this is good enough
H-Gameplay: 9/10 - although most of battle cut-ins will be repeated over and over again, events do not change much on lust level and its quite monotonus to grind scenes after losing battles, but overally there is a lot of content for such a short game

Summary
Nothing special here, if you are looking for it as the game, you might indeed be dissapointed, but if you came here with "different" intent, then what you get is very solid and pleasurable, yet short experience.

Decent game! 5.5/10
Pros and Cons
Pros:

• Easy to navigate mechanics
• Seamless integration of adult content into gameplay
• High-quality art and animation in mature scenes
• Entertaining mix of humor and supernatural themes! (Nothing better then getting licked by a toilet demon)
• Easy Grinding into Paths or scenes
• Built in Gacha System +

Cons:

• Combat seems a bit too easy, needs difficulty modifiers. -
• Not a lot of Customization or outfits -
• Ero / Lust system is Below Par -
• Repetitive Scenes -

the amount of stars reflect the expectation.

the art should be the biggest selling point, but its below mid.
Theres a corruption sistem that progresses even faster than the game and have 3 stages
1virgin unconfortable
2 ahegao
3 bigguer ahegao

also the scenes get no replay factor, you get 1 scene per event and a progression based on your corruption level

Quite boring. Even the cute girls can't save the game.

Battle is just boring, just auto attack the enemy to death, not any effort have been put into the rpg part.

sex scene is boring, just single CG with different text/face expression for each level of lewd.

character is boring, not really character development as you can let her do anything right from the start, not development of corruption at all.

I bored out after 30 or 45 minutes and decided to unlock all scene to see if my guess was right. even though there looks like a lot scene, it's still boring to be honest.

Why I am giving it two stars(at some point I was even thinking 3 stars).
Girl is cute.
the writing in the sex scene is not so bad, if there is more cg and animation, the writing can work.

=======
edit, change to 3 stars as this is definitely better than the game I usually give 2 stars. considered it a 2.5 rounded up.

Going to have to agree, game's rated too high. Game is short, probably about 2 hours. No real challenge nor actual story beyond beat big bad guy to save 2 girls.

Battle is ridiculously shallow. Use stat boosters, stack attack, equip regen ring, let auto battle basic attack everything to death. No real debuff system at play asides from 3 status effects that don't really do anything. The demon that gets mentioned after you meet the second exorcist is the end boss, you'll reach him after beating like 5 areas or something, all of which is doable in like 5-10 minutes each. After you beat him that's it, game just drops you back off onto the world map and nothing.

H scenes are meh, the drawing's nice but they're essentially 1 picture stills per scene with a bunch of text and some screaming. Most of the scenes also require you to either lose or voluntarily sign up for.

Why the fuck is this rated so high? This is your usual "get the scenes from battle loss" bullshit games which make no fucking sense at all. Could it be considered a better one amongst them? NO!


The combat is completely fucked and nonsensical, the way they implemented the battle rape is probably THE WORST I experienced YET.
Are the scenes any good? NO! You see absolutely nothing half the time and of course forget any smut...
Is the story any good then? NOOOOOO!!! It's your usual bullshit "magic girl" anime crap. FUCK THIS and FUCK YOU ALL for making me download this shit with the high rating!!!

DO YOURSELVES A HUGE FAVOR BY AVOIDING THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE!

I didn't even finish the game, i couldn't force me to do it.
The Gameplay is pretty boring, you always get interrupted with the harassment of the enemies, Prolonging unnecesarly the batttle. The dificulty of the bosses skyrocket at some point, then you are forced to level with the map enemies, the thing is they give very little EXP.
The porn is very descent, a 6.5 out of 10 in my opinion.
The Translation is Pretty bad, that and the lame story, doesn't help me to keep playing.

kyky has made some materials outside this game prior to this game which also happens inside the games universe and is referenced as some of the games plot points, it's nice if you know those but it's not critical at all to the story (basically X and Ys corruption CGs), the game itself is amazing, with the absolute best point being the art, H content has lactation and vaginal parasite variations in addition to differing "nasty"(lust 1-3, which can be easily switched both ways with items) level variation and is accessible from the get go with recollection room unlock right at the game start which massively helps since the main way of getting lots of the scenes is GOR grind, the story gets gutted by "Official AI" TL but at least you can safely parse what they generally mean, the UI and presentation is top notch and combat is straightforward and quite fun, the music and sound effects are unique and good, there are some VA but it's spotty at best because majority of dialogues have no voices aside from certain random dialogues and the main character's voice is poorly recorded (someone here has described it aptly as "fairy in a tin can", low volume and echoey). Despite that the game at its core is superb.

Very generic story and RPGM gameplay, but excellent art and an MTL on par with some actual translations. The game suffers from the same ludonarrative dissonance as almost all h-games in this genre - lose intentionally to get the scene. But it's well made and polished. Scenes are delivered at a reasonable pace, and accompanying text is not painfully long.

For me, this game is definitely in the top 10% of h-games I've played.

It checks my mandatory boxes of passable gameplay, h-content integrated into the core gameplay, and the presence of good quality major event scenes.

The gameplay is actually above average in terms of fun and complexity, but unfortunately on the easy side. It kind of ruins the extra context you get from defeat scenes when you have to intentionally lose to see them. luckily the game lets you unlock all scenes on demand, (no need to aks people for full saves) so as another option you can always view them after an encounter as a "what if" scenario .

I really like the artwork and character designs, and the progressive lewdness system is pretty well integrated into the game. I like corruption mechanics, but I've been bummed out in other games where the character goes full lewd for all the scenes and you can't reverse it. A great quality of life feature in this game is that there are items you can buy to reduce the lewdness level.

The translation is maybe an 8/10, the game's writing is actually really good, and the longer scenes are really well written from an erotic perspective. There are a few glaring translation errors that pop up like misgendering the main character, but if you can get past that the overall writing/translation is way above average. The in combat and event scenes are largely voiced as well, which is a big plus.

It seems like there is a lot of content here, and this will definitely be one of the rare h-games I plan to finish all the way through.

This is a standard Jrpg where a shire maiden meets tentacles and stuff. It has exactly what you expect this type of games to have in therms of content and gameplay, but it is overall well executed, and their translation is surprisingly good for an MTL. Now let's look at it more closely:

• Graphics: very good, the devs seem to have created several mangas about shrine maidens, it is consistent and looks good. Really no complaints here, you get what you see on the promotional images and more.
• Contents and lewd stuff: the game features battlefuck, defeat events, and a fairly limited amount of non-defeat H-events, such as train gropers, hot spring events, masturbation, and other typical stuff that every game of this genre has. The amount of these non-combat events is tiny IMO. There are 2 effects, lactation and womb parasite, that are reflected in the scenes. The game further features a very basic corruption system that provides statistics and has 3 lewd states. It is very easy to max up the lewd status, which lock you from getting low-lewd events.
• Gameplay: basic rpg, nothing remarkable. Combat is not difficult at all, I was able to complete the game avoiding defeats without any hassle. In-game locations are okay, but all dungeons are maze-like, which is boring. The game itself is very linear with no routes or anything of sorts. Raising lewd level opens new scenes and variations, progressing the plot gives you access to more monsters and effects.
• Plot: makes sense but is very basic , stereotypical even, alas we aren't here for the plot, are we?
• Translation: the most surprising aspect for me is the (alleged) MTL. It is as good as MTL gets. Of course, there are issues, such as inconsistent item names, sometimes getting the gender wrong or confusing 1-st and 3-rd person and having jumbled lines here and there, but overall it could probably rival an edited MTL.

Thus, I'd give this game a 3.5 stars due to complete lack of originality but solid execution, which I round to 4 thanks to the mysterious AI-powered MTL, which didn't cause my eyes to bleed at any point, but instead allowed me to fully understand all the dialogue.

Ordinary 'magic girl fights with the forces of evil...I mean sex'.
Seen 100 times, and will see again 1000 times.

Battle system is a default rpgm experience where you holds enter and wins every single battle.
Wanna sex? Lose a fight or use self destruct command in battle menu. There are a corruption, but it goes from 0 to 100 almost instantly. Three booba touch and herione turns from a holly virgin to the deranged nasty slut.
Sex scenes is also too similar. Corruption almost didint changes them. Plus they are static, only face of heroine (drugs are bad kids) changes without pose changing. All scenes can be opened in reminiscence room so its not a big deal.
Its a little bit MTL-ed but it readable and understandable, only sometimes it prints something hilariously stupid.

Its just another default japanees rpgm porn game. Move outs people, there are nothing to see here.

A tired formula (RPGM with in-battle sex, defeat sex and "event" sex) with nothing much to spice it up. About an hour's worth of game, probably less if you don't search every nook and cranny.

On the flip side, it's not offensive in any capacity. It's just... There.
It's mediocre. It's average.

How to improve it?
Try to add some kind of complexity to the combat beyond "Enemy spends a round to buff so you block next turn".
Also, stop making the player go to the menu to redress the protagonist after she takes a single hit and her clothes get torn off.
Another thing to consider would be to add side missions and objectives, a minigame of some sort (any minigame, even if it's a reskin of minesweeper) or whatever. Just... SOMETHING that isn't RPGM turn based combat. ANYTHING would do, really.

As it is, it would have been a 3/5 ("Average") but loses a point to sheer blandness and boredom.
2/5.
