RPGM - Completed - The Soldier and the Golden Princess [v1.01] [Nuko Majin]

Welp, finally played the game and... yea it's a bust for me.

Which is pretty disappointing considering I really liked the other game- Red Demon. A strong willed woman who isn't broken and denies the ugly bastard's advances. Absolute peak variety in a landscape where the opposite is the norm.

This game however, felt like an apology letter to those that wanted exactly that and it really does pull it off pretty well.

Gameplay Overview:
You play a foot soldier obsessed with the Princess Knight. But since you're a pro stalker, you end up chancing upon the princess having an affair with the ugly and lazy general bastard. And that's it. That's the entire story. Just spend days and nights engaging in voyeurism- fantasizing about the princess talking with you about her sexcapades, mocking you for doing nothing about it etc.

Conclusion:
It's not a netorare btw- not even by a long shot. Your perspective barely matters as you aren't even a blip on the heroine's radar. Even your choice of either being a rich noble or a lowly commoner has no meaningful effect. Just changes how much money you will have to spend at the shady shop, which will cut down your grind time.
So, all in all, you neither loose her, nor are able to save her. Just a mute spectator in the shadows with your dick out. An absolute wet dream for masochist beta characters.

I heard the game was a collab, so I guess it's kinda unfair to draw parallels with Red Demon? Still, even though I was disappointed, I felt it'd be unfair to torpedo this one's ratings because of it. If I had voyeur kinks, I'd definitely be all over it. However, I do not so, I took one star off.

All in all, a good one if it's up your alley. The art is A tier as always and so are the scene setups. If it's your thing, dive right in

With recent update on cien and X i can say that turn out this game is pretty much a demo for what to come next , Nuko is more like a screenwriter and a artist rather than a game dev and this "game" is a collab , Nuko did not design the gameplay .
Over all this demo has good art and nice Pov/Ntr voyerism , with the new translator this is pretty good in term of story and drama .
Gameplay is it weakness , you fight monster and the investigate , there not much a very barebone even for a demo
there will be a sequel after this or what i should say the real game , other than that just download the save

This feels almost more like a very mature demo than a full game. If you go in knowing this is very linear and no matter what you do the outcome is basically the same, I'd probably give it 4 stars. But the way it is setup and presented makes it feel like there was more content planned that was just never implemented.

Art is solid and quite good voyeur PoV.

MTL is...better than I was expecting given comments. You can mostly understand all dialogue without confusion. UI and non-dialogue is annoyingly untranslated in a lot of places, though none of it is terribly important.

Story that is there is good. But it feels so much like there could be branching paths and multiple endings. Even in MC's thoughts and dialogue it seems to hint that there are multiple possible routes that were just never implemented. Which for me, led to a lot of wasted time thinking I missed something until I checked the gallery and realized, nope. That was it.

Gameplay honestly is pretty lackluster, even for an RPGM. It feels like the original direction planned on multiple routes, but then axed all but one leaving just a demo of possible features for the game laid over a VN of a single route.

Overall, I'd give this 3.5 stars, but rounding down. Probably worth checking out. But has a lot of obvious room for improvement.

I have absolutely no idea what anyone said or what I did, yet I managed to beat both the game and my meat. The MTL is so bad that, for the first time in forever, I forwent trying to decipher this insult to English and went hard with my cock in the wind and a blinder on my eyes in order to unlock all scenes. The art is really nice, but I just wish I knew what went on. Also, the gameplay is terrible but easy to be navigated. Lots of rinse and repeat.

In addition this isn't NTR, even with no idea what is being said in the story I can tell that. It is voyeurism and either dreams or delusions.

However, with all this said... I wouldn't skip it. The girl is hot af and her scenes are nice.

No.
This game isnt good. The Art is good and it has sounds and all but it is so weird. Part of it surely is the MTL which is bad but okay. But the game itself is shitty. The girl acts like a total moron which blows the whole NTR part. Her actions and the story as a whole is dog.

Part of me was really excited for this but honestly this game is a bit of a let down.

Pros:
-Amazing art

-Sound FX present

Cons:
-MTL is pretty awful, but not outright dogwater.

-CGs are pretty limited (Either delusions or voyeur)

-Corruption feels pretty rushed and the girl is already into it (Could be a good thing for some)?

-Pretty boring gameplay, just find the general's room/people whispering/boring standard rpgm combat.

Game feels pretty straightforward with unnecessary combat and mtl is pretty bad with menu options not translated (some cg text in game appear here and there, those are untranslated too). I wouldn't really say this is considered NTR since the princess never really has any attraction for you, merely you stalk her at night.

I wouldn't say skip this because the girl is kinda hot but otherwise dont have high expectations.

Graphics

The CG is fantastic the princess knight character is well drawn.

Gameplay

The battle is simple straight forward but the thing is that the battle is only 4 waves.

The strategy of buying potions ahead of time and use it ahead of time is new to me but a welcome change as this add to strategy and management of funds.

The investigations aspect of the game is rather simple

Sounds and Music

There is an excellent female voice sound effects when doing the lewd scenes just the sex scene so that helps.

Other then that the music is pretty decent for an rpgmaker mz game.

The Text

The storyline in the game , the text which I wish it can be better as at time the 'he' and 'she' got mixed in there and giving the reader hard time to follow the game storyline. I suspect the use of machine translations it is decent but it can be improved in the future .

Right from the start the game is pure quality!
The art, atmosphere, story telling and all of the RPG elements are top quality.
Sadly the game is MTL and some of the text (such as menus and titles) are not translated at all, which ruins the story telling and missing out on some important hints.
Would be a solid 4/5 if it was translated properly, for excellent score I was missing the MC connection to the princess - seemed there was no interaction between them at all almost.

This man games are usually good. He has a thing for emotionless females, sometimes because they are a dolls, sometimes because of magic and stuff.

The art is what sells his games normaly. And you don't have to work that hard for the scenes.

In this one the ntr is basically "My love interest is fucked by a fat bastard" there is no real relationship more than that, but its still netorare since it was a love interest (just veeeeery light netorare in my opinion).

Good game overall, for me drawings are better than 3d even if 3d games have an easier time implementing animations, so take my review with that in mind.

I already do a quick review of this game when it was newly release in Red Haired Demon forum but since this is the updated ver. Imma keep this short.

Pros:

• This is emotionless (almost), ugly bastard, corruption, ntr fetish type game. Depend on your taste this might be really good or really bad.
• This is one of the game where you can rename how boobs and pussy are called. You can change the boobs into "fun bag" if you want lol.
• Art CG is what you expect from Nuko Majin very nice.
• After the update seems like a lot of bugs have been fix. There still some and there, but its don't effect the game anymore. (does this count as pros?)

Cons:

• Repetitive as fuck gameplay, its very boring. Go listen to people whispering, walk into the same place and same room there's only 4 place that you can go. I recommend using the Mtool to cheat your way through the game.
• Lack of content. There is only like 10-13 replayable scene in this game. I have been following this game news for at least 3-4 months, but it took me 2 hours to beat the game. Buy Red Haired Demon or other Nuko Majin games instead. It's only 5 bucks more expensive, but it have 4-5 times the content of this game.
• Lack of variety. Same room, same dude, same costume.
• If you're unlucky like me and got noclip into the training ground after the battle. Use the Mtool to teleport into the Ugly Bastard room to forcefully start the event.

7/10 For the update ver. Since I am biased imma give this game a 4 stars because I can't give 3.5. If the dev add more content in the future it will be a a good 8/10. Thankfully after looking at the dev's Ci-en seems like there will be more content, fucking finally.

Edit: Now I know why the game is lacking in content. It seems that another game developer (@onarinin_san on twitter) is commission Nuko Majin to do the art. It make sense, but Nuko Majin should have told us when he make this game.
