Length- 5-7 hours

This is an RPG Maker Xp where you play a busty noblewomen named Rhode who moved to a fortress to become a soldier. This game depicts her adventure and transition into something of a whore.

Story

So for most of the game you just follow Rhode as she trains and looks for a good man to be her lover and lose her virginity to, as she wants to have sex. Her choices for the most part are a guy who gropes and molests her, her childhood friend who is to strict on himself to touch her, and a good fighter/guy with some money problems.

So for the first 2 hours you play around interacting with the guys in different ways, with lots of groping and kissing happening. Around the halfway point one of the guys leaves, and you enter free roam which once you exist the actual main story of the game starts up, which has to do with a political takeover of the kingdom via sex cult and a guy using the cult to get Rhode so he can use her body to bribe officials with. Rhode resists and things happen.

Compared to the other translated game from this group, Sengeki no Gear, Rhode is a lot more active. She wants to have a man(or more like, she wants a lover and to have sex with that man), and is not embarrassed or afraid of sex or talking about how sex related topics. Once she loses her virginity she quickly starts using sex to get information about her situation and overall she never lingers on her forced first time. The build up to her first time is done well, but its nowhere near the level of cruel/sexual as in Sengeki. Its also a lot shorter.

Gameplay

This game uses a more advanced version of Sengeki’s combat system. You spend points in battle to up combat stats and then attack. Unlike Sengeki, this game uses two turn phases, attack and defend. Both give the player two options.

Attack phases has slash and thrust. Thrust is your main damage dealer, with low accuracy that gets worst with the more points you put in. Slash does less damage(even less with more points), has higher accuracy, but also lowers defense. Defense is a secondary defensive stat that starts at a high number and you can chip away at it, but if it hits zero it goes to full next turn. You use slash to lower defense and then use thrust to deal damage.

The defense phase is simpler, giving you two more options. One is evade, which is simply a dodge attempt. The other is parry where you guard some damage and then damage gets dealt to your defense and any leftover from that goes to your armor. Any left after that does damage. Its a lot simpler in game and the math is mostly done for you.

You also get skills to buff your actions. One skill ups your attack/parry amounts while the other effects evade/hit amounts and the last combat skill makes it so a killing blow will leave you with one health. Each skill has a number of charges which can be healed by drinking water, which will almost laways be nearby. You upgrade and buy skills with skill points which are earned from battles in place of xp or money. You also have to unlock a few of the skills by finding certain items in free roam. The skill system is very limited overall, though it is where almost all your character growth will come from.

Overall, the combat system is kind of boring. It feels very complex but in the end you do the same things in most fights, and because of the phases battles take to long. Luckily the game is short and has battles fairly far apart making this less of an issue. In fact, only one game area has random encounters, every other fight is set.

H Scenes and Other Stuff

The porn is well drawn in a strange anime/realistic style with decent animation and some sound effects. Rhode has very big boobs, though other then a lot of groping they are never put to good use, and in fact foreplay is almost nonexistent in this game. The fetishes covered are rape(though only like two scenes are really rape), exhibition, S&M, and a few others. Most scenes vary quite a bit and feel different. The scenes are also on the shorter side, and are unvoiced.

As for other things, Rhode gets a few outfits that show up in a few different scenes, in the cutins(from walking on all fours or swimming) and you can wear anything at your leisure. Her actual sprite is unique, and the others are either unique or from a dlc I’ve never seen before. Music and map work is all generic RPG maker. Game also has the character move at a good pace and has a skip button.

Verdict and Save

I would say this game is decent. Its short enough that little had a chance to bother me, though I am sad the h scenes were short and honestly were very basic writing wise, and the combat would have gotten very annoying if there were a lot of fights. The actual atmosphere and porn is good enough of a reason to play this, and if you want to sample a Scale Garden’s game or a degeneration title this is a good place to start. Its short enough that you should get a good idea if you will like that style of content is less then a half hour, and it never gets to dark about it.

I would say it is a decent game. Wish it had more side content as it really only had one side quest(defeat the strongest enemy) which unlocked some epilogues for the guys and how their relations with Rhode is after the game. I liked that as a reward, but that being the only real side content is a letdown for an RPG, especially after Sengeki which had a couple hours of extra stuff to do.

Save contains a completed game with all h scenes in replay room available and the epilogues as well. The other save is in free play mode with everything done, so you can see the different versions of scenes in that mode that are not in the gallery.
