H Scene Count- 30 not counting enemy battle scenes, of which there are about 40 with many of them being reused.

Length- 2:30 hours for me, probably another hour if you read all the porn.

Purchase

Turn based Wolf maker game. Mostly a monster hunting game where you make new armor(from the corpses of your enemies) for new scenes.

Story

You play as Azel and a player named blacksmith, kinda. A lot of narration comes from the blacksmith as if he was the point of view character, but Azel is the one we actually control, the one with a character arc, and she also has a few times where all the narration is from her. It’s a weird style to tell a plot from though i get why they did it. So that the random other women in the game can have sex scenes with an actual named character that isn’t a villain or not the player.

Anyway, Azel was attacked when she was young by a black beast that branded her. This brand makes her lust uncontrollable and she wants to fix that. During her travels she meets a blacksmith, which apparently is a rare occupation, and after getting to know each other they go to Niplhelm, a town known for getting attacked by beasts. Thanks mostly to the blacksmith being a blacksmith, you join the guild and set out to hunt monsters until you you can find a clue on the whereabouts of the black beast Azel is hunting for.

It’s kind of a comedy plot actually. A lot of the important moments come with awkward jokes or funny moments immediately after. I guess it’s a story about bonds, but since all the bonds are sex based that is kind of weird.

Gameplay

So this is one of those weirdly lots of features but really short kind of games. Where explaining the unique-ish mechanics makes it seem complex and long but it isn’t at all. Anyway, turn based combat with only Azel.

I’ll start with the stats. You have HP, EP(ero points),Atk, Def, Dex, and Luck. EP is kind of a reverse MP, when it hits 100 you get stunned for 1 to 2 turns and using skills or being hit by certain enemies raises it. Having 50+ when you go back to town allows sex scenes so you do want to use enough skills to actually get that much at least. HP, atk and def are all the standard stats, nothing unique. Dex allows multi hits and can double item gains on the map except at the convenient grind farm which I’ll get to. Luck affects crit’s and item drop rates, making it the most important stat for this loot focused game. Everytime you level you gain 5 HP and can add 3 to any one stat, I focused on luck and after the first 20 minutes(and getting some new gear) I was unkillable. By endgame I could instant kill bosses if I got lucky.

Skills are handled weirdly in this. You have to equip them to use them in battle, except the first one which comes from your weapon, of which there are three types each with a different sub stat focus and a skill that lowers an enemy stat or ups one of yours. The thing is, you have two slots, there are only two learnable skills in the game. The healing skill which you get before you fight anything, and an optional attack skill that half fills your EP gauge. Makes the whole equipping mechanic feel pointless. At least I didn’t notice any way to learn any other skills or anything.

So as for the game itself, it flows nicely. Each day statrs with you going to the guild counter and picking 1-3 quests. Each area has a few gathering quests, which add new gather points of that quests material to your farm to the south of the guild which makes gather materials super simple. Then you have a generic kill a basic enemy quest in each area, which is so you explore and look around the place. Then you get large monster quests, which are basically boss battles, some of which drop unique materials which are where most of the weapon and armor crafting materials come from. Eventually you get arena quests that let you repeat the large monster fights, 3 at a time, to get a bunch of crafting materials which saves a lot of time. Then you go craft armor to get scenes and repeat in the next area until game is done.

This isn’t a corruption game, but it does have a feature similar to one. Each of Azel’s sexual points have stats and once high enough, she gains passive skills that make her stronger in combat. This ties into the lore later on in the game, but basically more sex makes her stronger. More varied sex gets her more varied bonuses.

H and Other stuff

It’s mostly rough vanilla stuff. Azel gets turned on strongly thanks to the brand, and she enjoys being treated roughly. This is reflected in her scenes where she gets spanked and treated roughly a lot. Azel also sleeps with basically every guy in town, in different outfits, all of her own will. No corruption mechanics, no getting lewder, she just likes sex, which is weird casue they pretend she has a crush on the blacksmith who she does sleep with, but he also sleeps with the other two girls but seems to have a crush on Azel. it’s handled really weirdly, like they wrote the scenes where they crush on each other completely separately from the sex scenes.

Anyway, as for content, the game has two scene types. Infinite animation looping with Azel yelling the usual Japanese dirty words, and normal text scene types where Azel is mostly yelling the usual Japanese dirty words. A lot of the sex dialogue is Azel sluring the usual sex scene dialogue as she basically goes from normal to completely horny in nothing flat. As for fetishes, it’s mostly just rough sex. The only thing close to non consensual is with a dragon, everything else is just rough housing. The game covers the usual vanilla positions with Azel wearing different fantasy outfits for them all because blacksmith.

I thought about tagging this NTR because of the crushes and the obvious jealousy Azel shows a few times, but it just doesn’t fit. None of the characters seem to care that people are sleeping around with everyone. The closest thing to NTR would be the scene where Azel watches the blacksmith plow the guild girl and then Azel masturbates which kinda made any NTR feel go away.

…I forgot about the monster scenes. If Azel’s EP maxes, enemies will attack her. This is a basic animation loop which a number of enemies have the same one. You get a couple lines of bsic dialogue and then she gets let go of. I saw this once during normal play, so I almost forgot these existed.

Verdict and Save

This has been a decent new year game wise. Both games so far where enjoyable games with decent sex in them. I doubt the year will keep up like this but so far so good. This game has a really good flow for a crafting monster hunter style game, and because of the brand Azel gets into sex quickly and often. If you don’t want to see the porn its easy enough to to keep her feelings down, but since the game lets you skip scenes easily enough there’s no reason not to at least unlock them all and enjoy how powerful you get. Only real complaint is how easy the end game is, and I’m not sure how much of that is the game’s fault or just bad balancing around my stat focus.

Save has all scenes unlocked with all costumes for dressup. Also save 2 is right before the end boss if you want to see the two endings.
