    In short: Very nice art and tags, but with lackluster story and gameplay.

    The art is what you see in the previews, and is to me some of the most visually appealing art for a porn game I've seen.

    The art is just about the only thing this game has going for it, however. There is no real story, just "You went to the rape-cave to avoid getting raped. Get out". And that pretty much sums up the gameplay too.
    The gameplay is just walking through the cave while picking which monsters you want to molest your heroine. You could try fighting seriously, but there really is no need. If you want to finish the game, the fastest method is just running past everything.

    Besides the art it is nice that there is no Game-Over-Rape upon getting defeated. You just get fucked, which makes you level up and heal, and go about your way. It is also nice how calm the heroine is about the molestation, as I personally isn't too fond of tragic rape.

    Not bad, but not quite good.

    ART:
    Mostly a better quality than the first game, but nothing to write home about. If you like those preview images, what you see is what you get. And just like the first game, you get no choice in whether or not the girl goes futa. Also the music is generic, there's no voicework and the sounds are loud and tinny, making the lack of a configuration menu really annoying.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Mostly better than the first--okay, I'll elaborate. I actually find this kinda frustrating. I appreciate that this RPGM game uses real-time combat, but it's one of the clunkiest versions I've seen. The enemy movements are twitchy and the hit detection is really buggy, made worse by the terrain being sorta fake-curved, so you can't maneuver properly. And the whole elemental RPS is more tedious than anything. It would've been better if that button was used for a blocking/healing mechanic instead.
    The thing I do like about these games is their interesting approach to level progression. Instead of getting defeated when you reach 0HP, you level up. That's quite appropriate for a porn game because that's kind of how sexual sensitivity works in real life - the more experienced you are and the more pleasure you've had recently, the more it takes to make you cum, whereas in most corruption-themed games it's the opposite. Functionally this system means you get better the worse you perform, giving you some leeway and sort of optimizing difficulty. But when you hit level 30, then it's Game Over. I like this in concept, but the execution leaves much to be desired.

    STORY:
    Barebones, with almost no good player choice. If you want to see the best ending, just advance until she gets the big lactating boobs and then let the tentacles have their way until you "lose" ... Or that's what I'd like to say because you could do that in the first game, but in this one there are no Game Over scenes; all you get is "From that day on, no one knew where (L)Rifia was... *standard RPGM sad piano music* GAME OVER" Seriously? That blows.
    If you want any choice in the ending you see, you can search the final area for two items and then use them before leaving the cave with hardly any indication of what they may or may not do. At least that gives you more control than the first game did.
