art : 7/10
the game has decent enough art , pretty good art for the female lead face but the rest (even the female lead's body) ain't catch up to it making me feel weird when fapping
story : 5/10
lacking quite a bit,the corruption phrase is a little bit short as the female lead fall too fast
gameplay : meh/10
basic RPG gameplay but the route lock occurs ways too soon
conclusion :
the H scenes is very fap-able, but the story is just meh
A mediocre RPG with H content interspersed after quests.
The interface looks like there'd be some element of corruption, but the gameplay loop consists of going out to kill X amount of Y monster, then coming back, sleeping and choosing the next quest/NTR event with none of the actual gameplay having an effect on what happens on the H side (aside from getting an extra game over in some cases of failing quests).
There is 0 player choice aside from choosing which route to go down on via text prompts at the guild office.
The artwork is OK but nothing special, the animations are stiff and outdated but at least it's not l2d trash done in 2 minutes.
There is a choice at the start to have only the MC perspective throughout, which could be interesting for some who want the NTR to be a mystery but is a miss otherwise, since there is no way for the player to investigate and find out about the NTR until fixed points in the routes.
Edit: Reduced to 2 stars after confirming there is 0 choice in the game beyond which main route to take from the very beginning. Going one event into any guy's route locks you into it completely. Reading through the scenarios I initially skipped I now feel bad for doing so because the story is truly bad even by NTR standards, others have already said enough about it so I'll leave it at that.
Writing is bad: Scenario is trite to the power of trite, narrative is even more dull than usual because it's a choice between route A, B, or C with no interplay between them and godawful pacing. Characterization is bad, as nobody operates on any logic a human might think up.
Porn images are fine if scant, but the pacing is just as wonky as the writing.
Gameplay is here to waste your time. The aforementioned route selection kinda comes across as a Choose Your Own Switch So the Author Can Beat You With It situation. Once locked in, the game may as well be a VN and cut the annoying RPGMaker crap.
Translation is good, but misses a few menu screens and the like.
This is far too much of an RPG wannabe than a hentai game. The pacing is absolutely terrible in that it forces you to grind missions to earn exp to rank up for the story.
And while Amelia herself is beautiful, I can't call any of the hentai scenes, NTR or vanilla otherwise to be at any point, arousing. The animation is just too simplistic to be so. Not to mention the odd shape of the genitals. Both for Amelia and the male characters.
Not to mention the game is pointlessly difficult, once you've reached the 3rd dungeon it spikes to such a high degree it's ridiculous, and the final boss is some random competitor in the arena finals who brings the bull in bullshit in that he quite literally stun locks you to death if you did not level up enough to out speed him
That's also not to mention how simply unlikable every character is except for Amelia and, oddly enough, Jack. Who has a surprisingly soft spot despite being one of the cuckers.
Idk what it is about this game that makes it feel tiresome for me, maybe it's cause I actively tried to binge this game in one morning sitting and was just left feeling like I'd rather have played any other game in my library... I feel as though I'm being unfair in this. The game has a lot of work put into it, and the artwork is very pretty and nice to look at, but I feel as though pacing, storytelling, and delivery failed immensely.
The scenes lack impact and are all almost always swamped with quests that require you to do things that will take your mind off of what is going on, which I guess works if you're intending to do the oblivious route, but to this level of monotony it comes off as time waster and filler content at best.. MMO styled fetch quests is rather boring in an NTR RPG
The NTR is fully avoidable (Almost too Easily so), but it's honestly kind of hard to empathize with the main character. They're a wannabe, arrogant, full of themselves, borderline narcissist, and it's just hard to really feel bad for them in any way shape or form, when most of the routes (That I've seen so far) are self inflicted because of his own stupidity and inability to listen to his girlfriend..
If you're wanting a game to pick up for ease of access and speed, I'd recommend to stay away (I was scanning text rather than reading, It's like 2 hours or more to get into any H Content, And roughly 2 and half or more to get into any NTR) I will say that the game to the VERY least marks out the NTR stuff very clearly. So if you wanted to take advantage of going slightly down a path, you'll clearly be able to see when things are fixing to go in a direction you may not be comfortable with (at least with all perspectives on)
TLDR:
Pros:
+ The game is beautifully done, art is very nice
+ You're given options of perspectives
+ It makes use of being an RPGM game
Cons:
- It tries too hard to be an RPG if you asked me, so much so that they toss in filler stuff for no reason other than to keep you busy.
- Even with beautiful artwork and Amelia looking really good, I honestly wasn't really that moved by anything that I saw..
- The situations are very predictable (Some might see this as a positive)
- Pacing feels really off, build up for scenes isn't always good
- Normally don't mind a long wait for some H-Scenes, but this game takes it too far for too little payoff
- The Animation is rather rigid and sometimes in some scenes just flat out looks bad
Overall:
The game, even with good artwork, just comes off as very middle of the road to me. A mid-tier game at best. Which is odd, because given the genres, the tags, and the possibilities.. This game objectively SHOULD be 4 stars minimum.. But whether things were lost in translation or the scenes really truly are just a flop and build up for them are that bad.. I found myself getting bored with the game rather quickly and though I haven't played all the way through, a game needs to have a way to keep its player entertained.. Which is likely why I feel so poorly about this game.. I just wasn't entertained.
Feel free to disagree with me on this, maybe I'm being a bit too subjective on this review. Idk.
Other than that, if this was a translation. It's been very well done, as I recall, I don't really remember anything being too out of place in conversation or anything being confusing or difficult to understand. (I think.) Thank you Zemax if that's you handling the translation, just don't got a lot of info to go on
