RPGM - Completed - Town of Passion [v1.1] [Siren's Domain]

Note: I don't believe a complex opinion can be properly represented by a number but I do understand some people are impatient so I don't use the star system normally, my ratings are as follows. 1 don't recommend, 3 unsure please read review, 5 recommend.

I have finally after many years completed town of passion! I don't know when I started playing it, might have been during development, might not have, but what I DO know is I have finally finished it and I have some thoughts.

I hate RPGM, I cannot stand this slow tedious engine with a billion little annoying quirks and restraints that limit the creators abilities and in some cases create a complacency. That being said, of all the people who make games with RPGM I do think Sirens one of the better ones. They don't force RPG fights on you, it's mostly puzzles, the maps are just the right size and easily navigable I hate this engine and I wish there was a middle ground between this and Ren.py but unfortunately this is the world we live in. In summary RPGM sucks, Siren makes it suck a little less, but unfortunetly not enough.

With that in mind, gameplay! The gameplay in this is better than the average RPGM game but still not particularly good. It feels fine to move around and the puzzles are just a tiny bit difficult occasionally so it still has a tinge of challange to them. Problem with it is the pacing, even with the autodash getting around the map can be a chore and then talking to the character, and going through loading screnes. The puzzles are mostly easy but require attention and time so they can feel like a chore. It's not too bad when you're going through several characters stories at once, but late game when you're just trying to tie up loose ends it can bog you down.

Story time, this game is set in fantasy place and you are Link your mom is Zelda and a character introduced late in the game is that fish lady. Not actually a terrible analogy, you are the only male in this fantasy world so obisously you gotta fuck every female that you can see. Including your mom, your aunt, and god, sorry christans gods a girl. The actual nitty gritty of the story revoles around the idea that you are the remenents of a once great land that perished in the before time and now you play as the chosen one who will restore order and balance with the help of the goddess. I wouldn't say it's the best plot in the world but its told well enough, information is teased well throughout.

I think the art is good, it's not super detailed or anything but it's nice, it does get a bit repetative with the scenes but I think they work well enough and getting the scenes is straightforward and well paced. The sprites are decent enough, I appricate the sprite change based on outfit.

I think my biggest problem with the game is late game when you've already maxed out several girls and are just trying to finish the extra shit and have to go hunting for stuff, this area of the game can be tedious and the climax ended up being kind of uninteresting probably because of the happy go lucky tone every character but 1 has.

Overall I am glad I played and finished town of passion, it's been a staple of F95 for a while in my view and I think it was worth the wait. I recommend it because I enjoyed it well enough, if you optimize your playstyle I bet a lot of the late game tedium can be ignored. I reccomend it if you haven't yet given it a chance, it's deece.

This game is the epitome of a hidden gem among the pile of scrap that the RPGMaker engine churnes out.. Kudos to the dev for all the intricate little tidbits of interactions he managed to weave... I played the mobile vers, wetting my pants on the public trans.. It took me 30 hours to reach the finish line, but I faltered in the bonus material and Akane's carrot charm gauntlet was the final straw which made me ejaculate prematurely... Without consulting the guide I made it to the very end, satisfied with the experience, as well as screenshots and coomshots I made along the way Would glædely recommend!

Not the best art, concept, writing, etc. but nonetheless charming and gets the job done. Bare bones, which is not to say easy scenes and short gametime (a bit too much on the opposite end of that spectrum). Gameplay isn't the most intuitive either. For some reason that I cannot locate, I just liked it.

Very standart and boring.

Story is meh, very boring.

Writing is predictable.

Characters are extremly shallow and the romance is very flat, I didn´t feel anything by anybody.

Art is average characters blend togehter.

Sex scenes are very boring and the sex talk is too generic and not exciting. And they happen way too quick which ruins the pacing.

Gameplay is alright I guess some fun minigame idead but nothing more.

Music is boring.

Wouldn´t recommend.

>Story starts absurdly and it's progressing at a very fast pace.
>CG is interesting and you can see different artist touches when cg plays but I get used to it.
>Typical RPGM gamestyle.
>Contentwise, just there is so much people but not everyone detailed as much as main characters. Why would you add them to the game then.

The storyline is actually quite good and the raising stats is not too 'grindy', got some nice graphics, though the actual sex scenes could do with some more time to them. For me it falls down on the mini-games. Even using the Guide to try and help, there comes a point where resorting to it just doesn't help and asking in the thread you will just get abuse for asking.
But, if you like these sorts of games then good luck to you it's actually fairly good if you can ignore the mini-game hassles

This is one for those "came for the porn, stayed for the game" folks. I hate these kinds of RPGM fetchquest galores with passion. The puzzles are okay, but you won´t be spending the majority of time with those. Instead familiarize yourself with the W and S keys, because you will be clinging on those for about 98% of the playtime.

The lewd animation and setups aren´t great either. I liked the look of the characters tho, so one additional star for that.

The art and animation are okay. Some of the minigames are fun the others kinda meh, but the regular gameplay is pretty boring. You do the same thing everyday and its really easy to miss something small to progress a quest and are just stuck until you find it.

Average RPG maker game, the puzzles are fun I guess.
The CGs are good, even if drawn in a style that I don't usually like, but apart from those and the puzzles, it becomes "walking around and do the same shit every day" simulator, like lots of RPG maker games.

A town of passion is more like a town of boredom.
Here is a list of cons:

1. Most of the girls look almost the same, with similar faces and characters.
2. Animated scenes are barely animated and mostly consist of 3 phases, are mostly random, and take forever to reach.
3. The game is a walking sim. 95% is spent just walking.
4. It takes forever to have anything done without any help with progression.
5. Pixelated sex scenes that are so small that they might not even exist.
6. Sex scenes are plain and boring after the first few. They all feel the same.

Pros:
1. Multiple girls and some sex scenes variation




Well, that’s pretty much it. The game feels like a waste of time, just wandering around expecting ANYTHING to happen. A lot of things are scripted, and if you go around the trigger with Noclip, it breaks progression.
The game also has lots of basic puzzles that get boring after the first 5 of them, and there are a ton more.

Outdated game.

Story is too simple and flat. Same old godness chosen one. Nothing new. Characters are empty. You don't really care about them, which make you loose the whole interest in the game. Animation and art look cheap.

The only good thing about this game is puzzles and gameplay. It's simple but yet engaging. You could say they are well made.

Overall its 3/5 but I will give 1 extra for gameplay.

General remarks: It's not bad, it's also not that great. I feel like a lot of corners were cut in the art department. There are a fair amount of scenes with no art, and just pixel animation. If you like pixel animations then sure you'll probably like this one. But I feel with the requirements to unlock scenes, where some of the scenes to only see a pixel animation, and other scenes having very basic art, there is a feel of a lack of content in the art department..

Music : 1/10 [It's (except maybe one or two songs) all just default royalty free RPGM music.

Art: 5/10 [For the art that is in the game, it's decent enough, however like I mentioned above, there is a feeling of a lack of art when it comes to the H-Scenes, as well as there is a limited amount of characters that have H-Scenes in general. There are many characters that would have been great to be able to romance, but we are stuck with specific ones, that oddly all look a-like in one way or another. Possibly Artistic limitation? Another example would be you spy on the "Maid" masturbating many, many times, and there is no art for it, you just see a generic standing nude model. With the amount of times you are required to spy (cuz it wakes your character up every so often and you are required to go check before you can go back to sleep) you'd think there was be some teasing scenes of spying, but there isn't.]

Gameplay: 6/10 [The puzzles are probably the best part of the game, although there are some things that are just plainly not explained, which can make you get stuck in the very first dungeon. For instance you have to specifically press and hold Enter on the Keyboard and use an Arrow key inorder to push certain objects around, when other objects can be pushed by just left clicking them, and that is not mentioned anywhere in the game which is the most confusing part as up until that point everything is doable with your mouse or at the very least explained to you before hand that you need to press Q or W... So someone can very easily get stuck on the very first dungeon and drop the game because of not knowing how to progress.. Other then that one major issue, the rest of the gameplay and puzzles are pretty fun for an H-Game, however in a way it feels like it was waste of time when it's all said in done, like I said above, H-Scenes and the art that goes with them are limited, and a lot of times you go through quite the amount of gameplay for a very simplistic scene, or for one without art and just pixel animations. So it ends up being that 6/10 because of the amount of time, confusion, and lack of reward.]

Story: 5/10 [Feels like a missed oppertunity. In general the game feels like it cud be really big, and that is possibly where the developer was going originally, but it just sorta falls short, and feels like a generic "the worlds gone to crap, you're conveniently the only male in the town, and it's your job to bang all of us, because mysterious reasons of goddesses." With this sort of premise, you'd think there would be a bunch of art, and most all the ladies are lookin for something from the Male Protagonist, however like I said before, you have a fixed amount of people(6) that can be pursued, and there are definately a number of other that I wish would of rather been on that list. That could just be personal taste, but w/e.]

Character Romance: 4/10 [First, I want to just flat out say, this game is 100% Corruption based. It's just done in a more light hearted way. You basically go into their minds, and steal their heart. Thats the writters words, not mine. So when you see this game has Corruption as a tag, that is for every single h-scene. Nothing is achieved without manipulation. Besides that, In general, it feels like it was rushed in one way or another. For instance, some characters you get to see them change over your missions, where they end up falling for you slowly. Others just suddenly have an extreme 180 turn around (at the end of their mission) in their feelings for the protagonist. Because of this embalance, various character (of the 6 you can "romance/corrupt") will suddenly just bang you for no reason, and with the limited art, it often feels like a waste after going through the trouble of completing all the dungeons and missions to see it.]

Overall: 3/5 [The game is decent, and I have seen much much worse. However, I have played much better. In general, the game feels like the Developer had a lot of plans for the game, and then slowly lost interest. And as this isn't investor based, they tried to sum up the game without making it extremely noticable, so they could move on to a different project. Not a bad game, but there are definately others more worth your time. Unless you really like this sort of art style (not specifically my forte) then it will likely be more worth it for you. However, if you feel this art style is just okay, then there are quite a few other games a lot like this one, with similar premises, and relationships, that are more worth your time. If you've felt like you've gone through most the good ones, and you want to play a lighter corruptions based game, then pick this one up. Myself, I thought the corruption part would either be limited, or a choice. But it's 100% forced in all situation for the main 6 "romance-able" characters. There is a few other side characters that get a scene here and there, but they aren't really worth mentioning. And like others have said, this game isn't really "Fap Material." More like a RPGM Puzzle game with adult content.

The story is pretty good. Completing the game feels a bit tedious but it is enjoyable, just don't do it in one sitting. The characters' personalities are diverse and unique enough. The scenes are OK, the art is Good. Not a good fap material in my book. Still would recommend.

pros
— many different female characters
— interesting puzzles
— big world and decent amount of content
— interesting arts, probably not for everyone, but stand out from the piles of mediocre ones
— not much grinding

cons
— pretty linear, you have no much choice
— quite ordinary dialogues
— stat-system is poorly thought-out

features
— mc is a child
— incest
— peculiar graphic style
— non-human characters

although some aspects of the game may be tedious (at least for me), the game itself is worth the effort. especially if you like rpgm games.

Gameplay:
+ Quests, puzzles and things to explore.
+ Dating Sim elements, where you progress with each girl. But no limits, you can go for everyone.
+ A few characters have a few or many costumes, which can be set. Gives kind of a unique feeling
+/- No real fights. Rather stat leveling, quests and tasks to progress with story and/or girls.
- Grind-reward imbalance exists. Game is kind of stretched
- There is no real "choices and consequences". Game could have been shorter, but replayable, if there were consequences, so, you wouldn't be able to go for every girl in a single run.

Frequency of Scenes:
+/- Takes a bit until you get more scenes

Dialogues:
+/- Considering the whole game length, the amount of dialogues is okay.
- The story feels kind of generic, turning the game into a CG-Hunting game rather than offering an interesting plot. Maybe only the riddles, puzzles and quests keep you going.

Others:
- MC's dubious age.

--> All in one: I usually don't judge art. But to be honest, the art was the only reason I kept playing the game. But that aside, I think it is too stretched and there is a grind-reward imbalance. You need to do a bit too much, to get a scene. The story wasn't convincing either. But since I kind of like riddles and puzzles, it was okay. It is not like it wasn't fun. But if you are an impatient adult-game player, then this one might be challenging. 5 of 10.

Love the art style, Love the game play. Keeps it interesting from start to finish, and I was a bit sad when I ran out of content. Always love games that make you earn your lewds which this game does. It has a bit of grind but nothing that gets too much. 10/10 great game.

If you're looking for a game that's just a quick fap this probably isnt the game for you since it takes a while to get going and sometimes there can be a larger gap between scenes.

With that said, it has a good story, good gameplay, interesting characters. A little grind heavy, and never a huge fan of playing what appears to be a literal child which prevents it from getting a 5/5.

Town of Passion [v1.1] [Siren's Domain]
A good game that deserves the classic 6/10.

Great art-style.
Gameplay for maxxing skills not too boring since it doesn't take too much time to max out all the skills.

One thing that positively surprised me was the mapping, it's not incredible, but you hardly notice good mapping in RPGM h-games.

One thing that really bothered me is the protagonist. I don't appreciate when they give an age of 18 to a character who is clearly 10 and I'm not just talking about looks, his character is also childish, he's not 18.

The rest of the game is mediocre (story, sound department, dialogues and so on).

I think it's bad and that's it.

I haven't even spent 20 minutes in the game and it already has some pretty major annoyances that make just playing inconvenient, and that's not going into the Aptitude tests, of which there is no logical reason to make so annoying.

#DeletedAndNeverComingBack

I really like full fledged porn games. This game does so many things right. They nailed the map design, the character design, the music, and the gameplay.
I know it's all royalty free music, that doesn't matter. The song chosen for each area and event still fits perfectly and adds to the game regardless.

Such a good game. Certain things really turned me off, like the quality being suddenly lowered during animations(android), or not being able to see the sprite animations, and there are some animations and art that I just didn't like. It was pretty hard to decide between 3 or 4 stars, because there are things I really loved about this game.

A few more things I didn't like.

• The boss fights are build up by the game so much, it's the thing you work towards the whole game, the biggest challenge for our hero and what separates him from the common man. You reach the boss and instead.... you see a ganon that's so weak you can throw a rock at them and they'll die. This was so anticlomatic to me that it was funny. They didn't even look nearly as threatening as it was build up to be. ADD MORE SPECIAL EFFECTS!
• The game expects the player to know that Rose and Mary are sisters, but Rose rarely mentions that she's her sister. Very few lines hint at it and can be easily missed.
