RPGM - The Last Sovereign [v0.75.4] [Sierra Lee]

This is a great game. It's not a very good hentai game, it didn't make me cum (at least not yet, i haven't finished it yet, only 1 of 5 existing chapters into the story, a couple hours of gameplay). It is however a fantastic JRPG. I'd put it roughly on the same level as mature quest in that regard (although mature quest got me to cum a lot). If you like real JRPGs like the old final fantasy games, you're gonna enjoy playing this.

It's got a good story, it's got solid JRPG gameplay just using the classic formula (an rpgmaker game truly done as the rpgmaker creators intended for it to be done) the only thing really I found lacking is the H content, for the setting there is surprisingly little of it, I mean I wasn't starved for it while playing, but there was quite a bit of time between new sex scenes, and those sex scenes were lackluster in and of themselves, you get one image of middling quality and a wall of text, it's basically smut writing with an image to go with it.

Play it for the JRPG experience, play it for the plot. Don't play it for the faps, it's the single area where the game is weakest (ironically).

I have been a years long lurker on this site just playing games and never wrting a reivew or even commenting, and i can say with 100% certainty, this is hands down the best game on the site. I didnt even really like the porn in the game and would sometimes fap before playing so i could focus on the story. This game has plot and wrting on par with games like mass effect and dragon age, i got similar vibes playing this game as to those games.

The little details with every character, the philosophical discussions, and the choices that often felt impossible, this game is truly not one of the best porn games ive played but just simply one of the best games ive ever played, download it right the fuck now and sub to sierra lee's patreon becuase this is peak unlike anything ive ever played. If you find yourself asking"are there any games like" this and you cant come up with an answer, you know just played a genre defning masterpiece. Any one or two star reviews either have gen z attention spans or did not play the game(i rushed through the game and it still took me about 80 hours to beat)

Lets just make something clear here. This is not good for a porn game, it's not good for an RPG-maker game. This is an excellent game, period. This has good game mechanics balance wise, you have a large group of characters to bring into combat (or other rigorous activities ) and yet they all function differently, you have to stay on focus for battles. It has a ridiculous amount of moving parts, a financial system, relationship system, systems for everything from diplomacy, warfare and more and they are all interconnected into a story of grand proportions. It is long as hell and has been consistently developed over a time period where most developers would have either stagnated, abandoned the project or just started to put out "filler updates", this is not the case here.

And yet the best part is none of the above, it's the writing. It's grand, it's melodramatic, it's philosophical, it's hilariously funny and obviously quite sexy. How do you take a character named Cumdump and give her pathos and sympathy? Should not be possible. It's my favourite game on this site and I have recently also bought it on Steam. I'm almost sad that I'm closing in on the endgame (I'm post-prison now for those who know)

Best role playing game I've ever seen. Legit has multiple days of pure story playthrough.

Interesting characters, highly developed investment mechanics, forcing player to make sacrifices, very pleasant writing and humour, just amazing all around.

I found myself even playing for the story and strategy rather than lewd scenes which were just nice complimentary addition that fit the story

Just 10/10 all around, must play

Damn hard to play this game, need so much time for complete everything and figure out how to do it that probably you will never see the end, but damn if i love it! Hentai are sure not the best point in this game, but the story is damn good!

Still the best adult game ever because it's way more than just an adult game. Amazing story, great characters, tons and tons of content and a really hard game overall as it's almost impossible to go through all the events smoothly. Your actions and choices truly do matter and the consequences can be terrible.

I can't wait for it to be finally done so I can play from start to finish but it's been a pleasure to follow the development during all those years

This is, by all accounts, a very unique experience. I've first played this game when there was not a single CG in it and it kept me for a while, which is already a testament to how good the writing is. Now that it does have CGs I can tell that they're pretty good, too.

But the uniqueness of it all mostly comes from the fact that it's not lewd at all, in the gooning coomer sense of things like many games on this site are. Instead it is, for lack of better words, sensual. Be it the art, the situations, or the characters, everything is just pure. Despite the fact that it has succubi and many perverse themes it manages to be fucking pure lmao. I have a strong feeling that it was made by a woman, for women, as its heavy into the emotional side of things.

Best adult rpg i've seen. I played first for the porn with plot, then waited updates mainly for the story. Crazy verse created by sierra lee, the characters give a ide ranfge of emotion, lot of humour, lot of choices with consequences... i could continue for hours, a masterpiece to my mind.

probably the best RPGM hero story., as the hero is mature unlike your typical isekai/fantasy protagonist. each member of the harem is also compelling and interesting. side characters such as orcent are also very interesting. the story itself is a grand adventure, you really do start as a low-level grunt then make your way all the way to becoming a major power in the world.

one thing that is really unique about this game is how much your decisions affect the outcome of certain events, from minor character interactions to investments. you really have to work hard for the most optimal outcomes but I think its worth it.

i love each character in the harem. in particular, I was pretty annoyed by qum at the start but her mannerisms really grew on me. i also appreciate the balls of the author to do certain things that can have permanent effects on your companions.

the three negatives I can think of this game are:
sex scenes: the art can be pretty mediocre at times, but also pretty good. the text descriptions are really good though.
reliance on spreadsheets: to get the most optimal outcomes, you really have to plan ahead
swinging isn't optional: I get that succubi themselves are sexual and have to take part in the orgy but I wish there was some other way, not taking off any points though I would do so if this were any other game or setting.

despite these flaws, this is probably my favorite fantasy adventure game on this site

Best Story in a porn game.

Could be a standalone game without 18+ elements and i would have still played. the characters being so deep makes you forget how static and old the sex scenes are.

PS- If i ever become rich enough/ talented enough i would try and create a full 3d remake in Unreal

I have tried playing this game over a few updates now and honestly did not understand why it was so highly recommended. I'm not very fond of the humor, even if it is poking fun at tropes sometimes.

Combat is mostly your standard fare of what RPGM has to offer, however the balance , skills and how the characters work requires more decision making that just smashing basic attack. Battles are also not random encounters but enemies you see on the field, which don't always re-spawn; that's a nice touch of game design there to add balance and stop you from just mindlessly grinding away.

After I got through the introduction and spent a bit of time with the characters and story, I do now get it. Its a 4/5 because its still RPGM and I am not a fan of the humor or how frequently it comes up. Its otherwise a well crafted game, but if you're looking for something to "play with one hand" you may want to pass this one over. Like many others have said - this is more of a game with adult content than an adult game.

This is the best adult-themed game ever produced, thanks to its superior writing, surpassing even the top contenders in the larger CRPG world.

It's not wanking material, though. More like a fine novel for wankers. Give it a try, there is nothing quite like it.

masterclass story and character development of mc and companions, those scenes that are finished are great and i genuinely recommend playing this one if not for porn then for story.

It is challenging yet rewarding. Having great wiki in case you end up tryharding the best story outcome as I did. Only in few moments I was feeling lost where to progress since the quests are well described while not truly spoiling exact solution.

Best adult game on this site, bar none. It is however only a mediocre porn game. The explicit scenes are wonderfully written, just as everything else in TLS. I also quite like the art. I wasn't much of a fan of it when it was freshly announced, but it quite grew on me. I not once fapped to this game though, but I wouldn't fap to an amazingly well write erotic novella either, it's just not my preferred medium to get the deed done. This, in essence is the reason why I called it a mediocre porn game, it will get you in the mood if you are a freak of nature like me and like dirty text, but it probably won't stimulate you enough to bring you to touch yourself.

With that out of the way, I really couldn't care less. This might be the RPG I spent the most time with. BG3 might change that in my lifetime. We are talking about 500h+ (timespan of ~5 years), albeit it being on different playthroughs obviously. You can probably expect about 100-140h of playtime on your first playthrough to the current content. The game is almost finished, and probably will be this year. Pretty much only the finale + epilogue are in need of being done.

I hope the sound of management excites you, because if not, you will probably be pretty disappointed in TLS. However if you have the same autistic itch as me, you've probably found one of your favourite games.

The 4 main pillars of management are:
Kingdom management
Army building
Growing your mercantile endeavours
Religion (later on)
Each of these are amazingly done. Each one. I'm still flabbergasted, how a sole dev can manage this.

Now to another point that might rub you the wrong way. The Wiki.
The best part about it is, that it is so awesomely maintained and structured, you might think it is being done by Sierra herself. It's completely community driven however. The Wiki is also the sole companion you MUST bring into your active party if you are a completionist (but I really recommend it for every player, because for some decisions its not really clear what benefits and drawbacks you'll get from them. I completely get if this might tick you off, this CAN be a huge negative, but if you like management games, you most likely also like Wikis, so the core audience will be pleased.), albeit it not being in game. Main reason for that being, is that the management side of things must obviously be gamified, and TLS has done that via numbers. A lot of 'em. Most of these are hidden, here is where the Wiki comes into play. Not only is EVERY single variable there for you to look at, but also every different dialogue branch influencing variables. Via this you theoretically don't need to play the game more than one time, because you can see every branching decision and its effect on there. I obviously recommend you do it though ^^. Can't wait to try a disaster save once the game is done, because o boy can a lot go wrong if you really want it to.

Just as everything else, the world building is also fantastically well done. Do you want to know how religion and sexuality interact with each other? Do you want to know how a Succubus can also be a priestess? Do you want to know the lore of multiple countries and how they interact with each other? Do you even want to know why monsters drop the equivalent of money upon their death? Sierra has you covered.

The biggest plus besides the management are the characters for me. I shockingly can't name a character that I find mediocre in terms of villains, companions, big players in this world. That is especially true for the companions, or let's call them by their intended, your harem. They are all charming in their own way. None of them are neglected, and each of them has a purpose why she is accompanying you on your journey. TLS reads like a novel from an well established author and not like a free game on a smut site. It's leagues above everything else on here.

Sierra really is a rather harsh mistress, because almost no other game expect one, will scratch the same itch for me as TLS has done. I repeat that, only one real alternative. Please check out my profile, because I can't name it here because of the Reviewing Rules. It's not my game, just one I've found through @MidnightKing. You rock dude!

Please give TLS a spin, Sierra deserves all the love and support for this masterpiece of a game.

Important:
For the love of god please play through the whole prologue. It takes like 15 minutes max. You'll be pleasantly surprised, I promise. The tone of the MC will change, on way or another.

Short version: it's a good game and worth playing.

Long version: after more than 100 hours of playing I can't recommend it, the game is well made and it's clear that many, many hours of effort and dedication have gone into it, but the game fails mainly where it should shine: the choices.
Throughout the game there are many choices that (in theory) shape the world and the characters around it, but in the end none of them really matter.
The player's choices don't influence WHAT HAPPENS, they just dictate HOW THINGS HAPPEN, a simple example is in the first war of the game, the villain will always be defeated regardless of the choices you make, what will change is if a character dies or a place is destroyed, in simple terms death/destruction means that less content will be accessible in the future and the player will unconsciously start looking for the best outcome with the intention of "not losing content".
Over time, it will be common to play with an open walkthrough, since making a wrong choice will mean having to reset the game:
-You didn't want to invest in the ice cream industry in chapter 2? Too bad, in chapter 7 that would stop the enemy attack on your capital and the city's market will be destroyed.
-You didn't rescue the cat from the tree in chapter 3? Too bad, that will open a dimensional portal for an enemy invasion at the end of chapter 6.
-Did you choose to prostitute a fucking succubus, a being made for sex, who one hour ago was fucking everyone in the town's fucking church? What a shame. Throughout the game, this will activate countless variables to make your life more difficult.

I confess that I'm curious to do a gameplay focused on all the wrong choices, but I think I've used up too much of my life on this game.

There are some other things that bother, but the worst is the MC's step-daughter, it's quite funny how the game tries to kink shame diaper fetish but doesn't have the balls to make Robin be the MC's REAL DAUGHTER, stepincest is so real as much as vegan meat.
The MC's wife coming back undoes all the drama from the first chapters, at least it would be interesting to see Robin and her mother reunion, but... oops, I mean sTePmOm...

The harem part doesn't necessarily bother me, but having so many women in it doesn't bring diversity, on the contrary, they all seem so generic late game. An example is the daughter of the purple succubus lord, interacting with her was quite fun, but when she joined the rest of the harem she became an extra. Worse is the fact that I can't choose who enters or leaves, for example, if it were up to me the woman with the explosives would still be being fucked in that shit cave to this day.

Anyway, the game resembles a image created by AI, at first it seems perfect, but the more you pay attention the more easily problems appear.

this game gives me a stomachache just thinking about it.

it’s good, mind you, but between the game design choices of “no grinding allowed, not sandbox” and “every decision should have consequences” this will trigger any and all optimization compulsions. If you don’t go staring at the wiki you will probably end up playing it like 5 times to get a route you feel satisfied with.

in return, you get very competent writing, brain-stretching puzzles and fights, and decent cgs. (it’s been a hot while since I last played tho)

for people who actually play funger and black souls.

Gets motivated to finish it

This ain't your usual vaporware 7 years in dev and still on chapter 1 shit. This ain't your traditional harem story where a featureless protagonist amasses a brazilion girls for no actual reason that are even more featureless than the protag. This should be to Porn what Star Wars is to Sci-Fi and LOTR is to Fantasy. The Golden Standard. I've dumped about 700 hours into this, having originally stumbled upon it in like 2017 and forgotten about it until two years back. My current save is 97 hours in and there's still another 30-ish hours left until I bottom out and have to wait for the next update. Not once have I regretted starting this addiction. Sierra has singlehandedly proven that you can have a game with porn in it that is an actual, enjoyable game with a good plot even if the plot revolves primarily around sex. Get out of here, download it on Steam and buy Yarra's Thanks you horny bastards.

This game is what all games should strive to be, not just H games. It has been a couple of years since I played it while waiting for the end, the content should be similar but expanded, yet all i can do still is recommend it to anyone who likes rpg's.

Story/Gameplay: The gameplay is phenomenal. I am not one to shy away from cheating in rpgmaker games to make them more enjoyable, especially in second or more playthroughs. But even now after already having played through twice, once the game is completed it will be the first of thousands, including non H games, that I would not even contemplate cheating due to how amazing the core game is and how it would sully it. It;s challenging yet so extremely rewarding and fair, making you appreciate the difficulty in making the correct decisions and happily accept the drawbacks of your decisions as well (Not a single game in my life has ever made me accept having some negative consequences to choices as much as this one has). The story and gameplay is all this game needs in its review, art is almost inconsequential, even though its great as well.

As someone who has happily waited 2 years for its completion, and recently bought the steam DLC that is literally just the "pay something for this free game" dlc as it has no content in it at all, this is an amazing game that anyone who hasn't played yet should try, and it is the first I can confidently say I will wait endlessly for the completion of no matter how long it takes.

This is a very demanding game...

I have rarely been so conflicted in reviewing a game as this, and I could honestly give it between 2 and 5 stars.

Writing (4 stars): Being textbased, the game thrives on text, to a point where I've sometimes wondered if it shouldn't just have been a novel.

Visuals (2 stars): While the frames are nice, each scene consist of very few images mostly with text laid over.

Gameplay (3 stars): Unless you play the Storymode version, the game is punishing, even if you play the storymode version the game has so many dependencies (you did that then, then this now), that it feels more like having to follow a recipe and less like a game.
At the same time the very old school RPGM interface, and the lack of (!) and other userfriendly additions make this hardcore to a fault.

At the same time, the story is engaging and plays on cultural interactions and expectations, on philosophical reflections and (sadly a lot of management without having the interface to really support it).


Its a hardcore, complex, demanding slowburner, which requires a certain mindset to enjoy - but its really well made, and if you like this sort of game, you'll love TLS.
