RPGM Completed The Moral Sword of Asagi [Final] [ahriman]

[ShamusForSmut]

never heard of this game. lots of ppl here say its amazing. lots say the translation is trash. so should i avoid it for now and wait for a better translation? or would you recommend this game for a first timer?

I had played this game years back. Give it a try, as if you love it, it'll spoil you on many an rpg to come. If you don't, then it's not much lost in the sea of games around us. To give you a run-down, the game's unique (at least at the time) for implementing not only in-battle sex, but also having you and your teammates being potentially enslaved further in and after the fight. And your character having clothes damage and lewdity reflecting off their stats within a fight (so lots of enemy spells/potions/groping/skills can influence your characters willpower against sex). Hell there's items you can buy if you so wanted in enslaving yourself during a fight or just lewding up your entire party if you want to go on Mr. Bones wild ride.

To give more explanation on the slavery system, when the heroine and her co are getting lewded up during the fight, that separate enslavement system goes further than just showing in-battle lewdings, it shows that the enemy had captured them once their health goes to 0 (and you depending on if you were totally defeated) which would usually end in a CG depicting a game over, instead, more scenes play out to where you getting sexed up, you break out, and rescue your retinue who find themselves in a similar manner. Sometimes there are sections of the game that are bad-ends, but for the majority of the game, a gameover leads to more immersive sex scenes (heavily bdsm-centric) rather than hardlining saving and loading. They are also repeatable.

Alongside this, theres a lot of CG, and pixel art depicting that nice debauchery. The english wasn't bad in my opinion (course take that with a grain of salt since as previously mentioned, it's been years), but overall I would consider this game in my overall top ten. Just sad that Ahriman hadn't really developed a proper sequel to it, just a bunch of concept games, and/or games that are much smaller than this epic.

lots say the translation is trash.

No, no.
The translation is not trash.
The MTL done recently is trash.

Basically the "85%" done previously are correctly translated (or atleast they are in a perfectly understandable english. No idea if it's a proper translation or there is some interpretation).
The "14%" added here (the end of the game basically) are however.... Bad MTL. As said previously : It's not edited at all (not even a little) it doesn't work correctly (due to how the dialog system works, you have part of the message that appears, then another part is added. The first part is MTL'd, but when the next part appears, everything turrns back into japanese).

i have downloaded it on the japanses shift on the encoding and also putting on japanese admin on the local emulator and still do not even start up, just open and clooses directly. Someone help me with this?

 

[White Tiger]

Yeah. No.
Of course, the porn part is usually easy to understand with a bit of experience and the graphics. It rarely contains very surprising elements.
However the story part... Well I'm not saying it's the most original story ever, but there are parts which cannot be easily guessed.

But you know what? Whatever. It's not even about that. It's about releasing a low-effort MTL.
It's not edited, it's clearly just plugged in a machine translator and copy-pasted. But even that could be acceptable (it's still more than whatever I did). But even that is not done properly as a lot of text is partially in english, then switch back fully to Japanese when you get the rest of the text, making it barely readable if at all.

If the translator didn't want to spend time on the game (which is perfectly understandable, as I said, I didn't do anything either), he might as well just... not spend time at all on it?
Releasing this version, under the denomination "complete" is just not nice. It made me think a game I liked was finally full, and... well it was not. Way to make me disappointed after giving me hope .

Maybe it's a bit harsh on the translator who wanted to be helpful, but come on. Don't half-ass things!

To be fair, he's not getting paid to do the translation. I get that it's difficult for you to really get into it as a MTL, but the translator at least made it playable for people that don't need that. If someone wants to clean up the translation at a later date, then this gives them a basis to go off of. There was another RPGMaker game that started that way, it was just a MTL but someone cleaned it up for everyone. No sense in complaining about it though. It still takes a lot of effort to get everything MTL'd by the way. Sure you're not translating it from scratch, but the program itself can be a bit shoddy and then also if you translate something that doesn't want to be translated, it just breaks the game.

Ahriman games seems to be triggered by your anti-virus software during launch. I had this before with AVG being the issue, which I solved by turning it off, started the game and back on after the title screen. It's odd why, but it works at least.

Anyone know how to save the girl with the whip. I got the broken lever but can't find the hidden entrance.

 

[Miniguylad]

statement has been redacted purely because the 15% machine translated part replaced some of the parts that TNT90 already translated

Use binding rope on Asagi, it will take you directly to where the back door is for studio 2. just head left after regaining freedom.

Deathblight RPG is heavily inspired by this game and even plays the same, it's still a wip though and updates slowly. Definitely great art and has a fair number of scenes and 7-8 bad ends already. It has a thread here on f95 somewhere.

Was thinking of this as I played it, though this has far more content than Deathblight, though that is also fun. But its got a more forgiving recovery system where you can go back to the hotel and rest, restore your clothes, not the trader that this one has.

 

[Gnodab]

Remember playing the first one, although i didn't get really far there.

Does this one have a gallery at the end by any chance? Can't be bothered losing on purpose tbh.

Let me guess, the pregnancy is an ending only?

 

[Null1212]

Read the thread, it's answered.

I really appreciate the effort to bring us this game, even if the translate is for MTL, I played and I like it, I hope in a future so kind of official translation turn reality because the game worth it.

It's amazing and the translation only breaks down during the final boss fight (and maybe after--I haven't seen it).

There's a 'Hyoro' disclaimer that gets repeated a few times, that's it. The translation certainly isn't trash.

The final boss's 'bad end' has pregnancy. I didn't notice it anywhere else.
