H Scene Count-To Many and no easy way to count.
Created by Arvus Games , Purchase
Length- ???, It’s on the longer side
From the makers of Ass Effect comes a Dragon Age origins inspired fantasy RPG. Sex with orcs, elves, dwarves, and a bunch of other fantasy races along with karma and plenty of player choice. I don’t like it much.
Disclosure, I gave money to this like 4-5 years ago, back when I had a lot more hope about h games. The game had a special edition for 100$ backers and so I jumped on that with the intention of sharing it if nobody else did after the game was done for a while. Then the game started becoming heavier on the fetish content and I felt weaker on the plot/game side and it felt like instead of the epic adventure that was promised, it was more of a travel around and screw game which I didn’t want at the time.
That’s the gallery. It has issues.
Story
You start the game with a gender choice and then a choice of origin. There are five and each has you go through about half a day of a life before things go horribly wrong and a father figure dies or disappears because of orcs or a cult. You then set out to hunt for the group for revenge/figure out what’s going on and the white mage/healer just joins you because.
The opening narration lays the groundwork. It’s basically evil orcs worship evil god and are trying to bring the end of people, you find out before the big human kingdoms and set out to stop it. You choose to be a dick or a good guy and procede to screw probably everything that moves. It’s very much a sex upped Dragon Age Origins with a less political plot. You get a bunch of party members of different races and I think gender plays a role in who you get.
Gameplay
It’s an RPG maker game. It does have area of effect stuff and some class options along with equipment customization I couldn’t figure out how to do. There is some promise when it comes to options and later content being fairly engaging, but early on it’s to much to quickly and to slow. This is mostly an MV issue in general, but when you actually use the animated sprites for combat, combat takes longer. Usually to long just to show an animation you will see hundreds of times. Personally the more visual flair isn’t worth the longer fights you get with the sideview.
The game is a proper Bioware esque RPG. You can play evil or good and while the overall goal won’t change much, personal relations and scenes will differ pretty heavily. There is plenty of role playing to be had here, though most of it relates to getting or seeing sex scenes. And this game has the most trash gallery for those scenes. As far as I can tell, there is no out of game unlock system that works. So because there are scenes unique to the origins(usually incest related), you cannot get every scene on a single save. This can be a pro or con depending on the person, but needing to keep a save for every origin can make things annoying when it comes to looking for a specific scene, especially when you cover different branches of scenes on different origins. This is a problem I saw coming a long time ago and it doesn’t surprise me the game has it. And for a game this big to lack a good gallery is a real annoyance, especially when the scenes are really the only point to playing this. It doesn’t help that almost half have the scenes have the wrong description, a few share images and have the exact same description, a bunch have the description “test”. Some scenes are the same scene with a different hole choice and nothing in the gallery mentions it. It’s in a bad state. Maybe NG+ fixes this a bit, but I really doubt it. I don’t even know if this has NG+. It was suppose to.
Big issue with a choice heavy game, there is no skip that doesn’t also select options. So in my short time playing this before I cheated scenes into the gallery(because I don’t like this game), I picked a lot of options on accident. Which is horrible design because no other RPG Maker game I played does this.
H and Other stuff
So originally the game had the usual crap western writing you find in h games, but after a bit it ended up getting a writer from the community and the old writer started writer more freely and now its probably one of the better h games from the west in the terms of sex writing. It also has the most variety, with almost everything except loli, watersport, scat, vore, and gore.
If you play as a male you will have sex with a big variety of well endowed women of various colors and shapes. While there will be some threesomes where the guy will be touching or being more intimate with another dick, for the most part its male on random women. Most scenes are you dominating in general. Most of the incest is on this path.
The girl option on the other hand, is taken advantage of almost as often as she takes advantage of others(though she loves it quickly regardless). There’s a lot more same gender scenes with futa thrown in. The monster/animal scenes are mostly found on this genders run. I also think theirs more members involved with the female MC’s sex scenes in general.
There are shared scenes that are for the supporting cast which are mostly from how you treat them. They run the full gambit of the above types.
Most of the scenes have different artists, which can be good or bad. Proportions can vary wildly, with a single girl going from a realish common body shape to a model’s with a number of boobjobs depending entirely on artist.
I will admit the map work is nice. To bad it killed my computers ability to play this for years.
Verdict and Save
Personally I got sick of Andorevia during it’s early years, with it barely working on my computer and its resolution being impossible to play on anything I owned. It looks like its in better condition now, but I lost all desire to play it years ago. And playing even just a bit of it, its still feels like a thrown together adventure with good porn. Like all the good writing is in the porn, while the non porn is just… bland, I guess? It’s also inconsistent and the mouse focused controls are garbage. If the combat flowed way faster maybe I could struggle through it again, but I doubt it. There’s just something about it that kills my enthusiasm, and the fact it’s being sold on MangaGamer and DLsite and it’s still not done is just stupid.
Saves have the fullest galleries as is currently possible, without mods. The gallery system for this is bad, and a number of scenes are in the list but can’t be added to the gallery. Save1 is the guy’s content, and save2 is the girls. When you talk to the scene gallery, options 3-5 are gender specific, 1-2 are shared and are mostly the misc other character scenes. Both saves are right at the beginning of the game and should be updated as the game is. Should be.
There is a mod that adds all the scenes to the gallery properly. Search Roundscape Adnroevia gallery mod and it will fix this broken mess of a replay system. It also has an unlock all button.
