VN - Others - Completed - Kamidori Alchemy Meister [Eushully]

Kamidori is an excellent game. Think dungeon crawling meets Fire Emblem with some collect-a-thon. The game has 3 branching paths to choose from, each focusing on a specific love interest. You can pick an other one only in New Game +.
Problem is, the porn gets in the way of the actual fun stuff. Not that the erotic scenes are bad or anything, but in the last half of the game they'll happen back-to-back so often that you'll wish you could go back to the actual game instead.
The game does have some half baked features, like mutations, and ridiculous delivery quests, but you get around those with an healthy dose of saving as often as you can.
Play this for the gameplay, not for a quick fapping session. It's not worth it for the latter.

IMPORTANT: if you wish to 100% the game, you should go with Serawi's path first and then go with Yuela's last.

Honestly, this is an actual game, not just a quick fap. I saw some of the negative reviews mentioning that they played 10 hours or that there's 'too much grind', but that's just because this is the kind of game you can play 50+ hours... It's got a NG+ mechanic that opens up new scenes, characters and levels. Honestly, you're meant to go through all three of the main characters and it's a great experience if you see it as an actual game to play and not just something to open up for a quick fap.

9/10 game I really recommend it if you like playing strategy and a game for long time.
the story is basic but in a good way, its nothing new or mind blowing but still something that easy to read and understand.
difficulty isn't that hard once you know what op except for some certain rare case where you are forced to use a character you never use
this game take some playthrough to play all of it BUT IF YOU ARE A PERFECTIONIST be reminded that a certain item will be needed to craft and that certain item can only be get ONCE every playthrough
overall a solid game if you put time aside to play it

This is the longest hentai I've ever played. According to the save file, it took me more than 100 hours to finish the game, and I think this number alone, tells how good this game is.

I really like the gameplay here. This is not a clicker or a typical easy hentai game. The basics are simple, but I think it can be compared to the Pokemon games. By that I mean, you convince more characters to join your party, each character has some skills, strengths, and weaknesses, and of course, some sexy hentai scenes, after all this is a hentai game.

You collect materials, expand your base, create and update your equipment, complete the quests, and of course bang almost everything with an orphan.

After finishing the game, I read that there are 3 main routes of the main quest line. I was surprised about it, because as I said, it's an extremely long game, and yet it highly encourages you to replay it with the New Game+ mode. I consider it, especially because I'm interested in romance with the other 2 main heroines.

Regarding the romances, the hentai scenes are pretty decent but definitely not perfect. Usually, their plot is retarded, but there is some plot so it's not bad.

Overall I give it a very high score. It's great it was able to keep me for a very long time I happily spent with it. Very recommended, unless you are not interested in long games.

I spent hundred of hours playing this game. Collecting everything, maxing every character and even finishing the game multiple times.

If you like SPRGs then this one is a must while if you are here for the story, don't expect much as this game is more on gameplay then story.

5/5 as an RPG game while 2/5 for the story.

This game is quite the contradiction.
On the one hand I liked it a lot. Despite its many flaws, such as censorship and cliche chracters.
I liked the story and the interaction with the harem despite its cliches. They become tropes for a good reason, people enjoy them.

Yet on the other hand 10 years after I started playing it, it still sits in my "completed games I need to finish playing" folder.
And I have come to terms with the fact that I will never actually finish it.
Because it is an utter time slog.

I am one of those weirdos that actually enjoyed the combat system.
To the point where I think it should have been the combat system of a normal non porn RPG.
For me the problem was too much of a good thing.

Even if you enjoy the combat system, the game is grindy to the extreme, well beyond any plausible reason.
It isn't just combat, but also the reasons why you do it. Exploring the same location 500 times to craft a new dress for one of your haremettes so you can unlock a new scene with her is just not a reasonable use of your time.
I have spent literal weeks of my life playing it and still did not finish it.
At some point I just... got tired of it and stopped.

I enjoyed this game a lot. combat is ok. I just thought it had a good balance between combat and management. wish I knew how to control which path i was on though. I have introduced this game to others and they have enjoyed it aswell. some are still playing it 10 years later

this game is amazing i'm surprised there aren't more ratings. the gameplay is 10/10. the girls are good. story is good. tons of content. i need to get back to my NG+ one of these days. translation is good.

Honestly if they put it on steam I would 100% buy it.
Altho it's kinda grindy and by kinda I mean a lot, still it's one of the best games I played, definitely wasted more that few hundreds of hours on this game and loved most of it.

Highly recommend! Most people come for the hentai stay for the fun tactical rgp. Make sure you can set aside a good chunk of time to play this gem! You won't regret it, there are some great quotes in there too that are great life lessons.

Version: Final

Man i started this game only for the cute characters i wanted to rail, but then i stayed solely for the amazing gameplay and progression that this game has to offer. Genuinely fuck the sexual stuff, i would have played this game even if it was non-sexual.
I highly recommend trying this game out purely for its gameplay mechanics.

This is one of those games I had to play a second and third time through the years, because the gameplay was really good. So good that the Eroge content became secondary, comparable to a lewd modded Skyrim where you still do all the quests. A nice cherry on top.

Do yourself a favor and play this amazing game. It might not have the best jack-off material (non animated) but the game loop itself just hooks you. Its a great combination of a more classical JRPG with a crafting system and decent enough story. Also this game is packed with content, you'll need 50+ hours to see it all.

Really nice game, with some nice mechanics and gameplay, the hentai part is not all I would like, but not bad. In the end is a very nice game with some sex along with the rest, I would Really recommend a play, and if you'd like to hunt for all it's content give it a go.

one of the greatest eroge ever created
very memorable and fun
more fun with cheat though
will keep forever.never deleted and replayed someday again

On a technical level, this is a large, ambitious project that has come together generally as planned. However, the actual experience of playing it is so awful I can't give it anything other than the lowest possible score.

The core gameplay, simply put, does not work. It's a combination of TRPG and exploration that drags both sides down as you regularly have to spend dozens of rounds doing nothing but moving all your units around to explore. This is exacerbated by level design that punishes you for splitting up your units to explore more quickly or even if you just get bored and don't maintain an optimal formation while crawling from point a to point b. Then you have a big layer of JRPG grind on top of it to really round out the tedium sundae. And since every new idea the game brings to the table is a failure, fixing all of the issues would still leave you with utterly mediocre gameplay.

Then there's the writing and characters. Somehow they take the low, low bar of anime porn tropes and still fail to meet it. It's not just that every character and piece of plot is a cliché, it's that they're executed horribly on top of it. One example that sticks out to me is a long chain of scenes of one of the girls slowly realizing that she's allowed to like cats, delivered with all the finesse of an elementary school play. There's over 50 hours of this. It's maddening.

Then there's the art and porn itself. It's not bad, per se. But it is noticeably off in about every way you can imagine. Anatomy, perspective, shading, texture, composition- nothing looks quite right. And there's a strange lack of character to it as well. Despite all the scuff, everything still feels unnaturally clean and soulless. So when you get into the porn scenes proper, the awful writing and general "off"-ness of the art sucks any trace of eroticism out of them.

I know a lot of people love this game and that's why I kept trucking with it for such a long time. I guess I just wrote this so people can know that if they don't like it, it's not going to get better. They can put it down instead of sinking dozens of hours into it for no payoff like I did.

Takes a little getting used to, but well-polished with great gameplay mechanics. Honestly, if this game didn't have the H-elements, it'd still be a captivating game with multiple good plots.
Solid leveling mechanic that doesn't feel grindy.
Solid 9/10 all around.

Animations ?/5 Stopped playing after 2 hours
Combat 4/5 and -5/5
Characters 5/5
Story 3.5/5

It's not bad. I stopped playing this game for a couple of reasons. One, I'm fairly certain after 2 hours of play that this game is probably n o t animated and I won't be dumping hours into this game to find out. Two, the combat is timed; if you run out of time, game over; Really? Does that make sense to you dev? Anyways.

The story is decent, but long-winded. There's far too much dialog put into each scene, making the game a chore to read and yes, I know that there is a skip button but I shouldn't have to use it for a first playthrough. The game has a decent sandbox element and doesn't punish exploration, nor force you to start taking on missions. You can play at your own pace. The grind isn't too bad, but will annoy anyone who doesn't like combat; I like combat, so it doesn't bother me.

I could have rated this game higher, but the bad things are too bad to justify anything higher than a 2.

This is one of the gold-standards of gameplay (in this case turnbased RPG / Shop keeper / VN) in an erotic game. The characters are lovely, the game is actually deep and fun, it's got an excellent crafting system and the unlocks all feel meaningful. It's long, though; this is a game that has titillating rewards, not a game you play for the tits.

10/10, anyone who likes SRPG's should play this. the hentai is pretty good too, but damn the gameplay is fucking amazing. both the tactical parts, and the shop management part are all made so well. the music is also very nice
