RPG Maker MV follow up to Slave Sword. Basically a direct continuation, you can even transfer your sex stats from the first game into this one if you want.
Story
So following the first game, Luna is a slave fighting in the rebellion. They are taking out the last fortress before the capital is in their sites when Luna’s sister shows up and curb stomps her. Captured, again, Luna must escape and power up and finally learn what is happening to her sister, the demon knights that were with her, and the sorcerer who I almost forgot was in the first game who seems to be in control of things. It’s basically go the the four elemental shrines to power up, watch the story unfold, then finally end time. It has a more compelling plot then the original for sure, but its kinda by the numbers. You can guess what’s next at basically every point after you escape the prison. It never surprised me, but few RPG Maker game plots do.
It really bugs me that Luna can’t sleep with Resistance leader/childhood friend Leon and have an actual relationship. It feels like there’s suppose to be something there, but nope. Just comrades.
Gameplay
Very similar to the original. Luna can upgrade her gear at blacksmiths, get cards from a gacha machine, the gear is level locked, your defense skill is garbage, the element weakness gimmick is pointless, money mostly comes from sellables and prostitution, and so on. The main new thing is that your max level goes up as you go through the game, and when you level into the new cap you get an an elemental spell that is never worth casting because elemental weaknesses don’t do enough extra damage to outdo your basic magic attack you always have. There’s also a number of times you get two members of the resistance to help you fight, but it never felt consistent. Like they would travel with you and join maybe for the boss fight but other times they would fight all the enemies in the area with you.
The biggest difference from the original is the scale of the dungeon and area’s in general. Places are needlessly huge with a fair number of chests and enemies per maps. They rarely feel empty, but they do feel larger then needed. There’s also far more towns you can visit, but there’s never any reason to backtrack so its more a result of a story that isn’t set in a single area.
H and Other stuff
Didn’t actually watch any for this, but it’s voiced and has a mix of monster, prostitution, and torture style scenes. From what I remember of the first game, it’s scenes are extra mean and decently long. Not to my taste.
Verdict
By the numbers is the best way I can describe this. It never surprised me, but it wasn’t actively bad. I wish the elemental system felt more important, and the areas being so large with so many pointless rooms made the game go on a bit longer then I wanted, but otherwise there’s nothing bad about the game. The biggest thing I can praise is the map work itself. Despite being so big, it never felt empty and there was detail everywhere. It’s a pretty looking RPG Maker game, which is rare.
It feels like there’s supposed to be a third game do to a plot thread that never went anywhere, but I don’t know if there is or not. Or if Luna would even be the main character.
Save for
Contains- All cgs and scenes unlocked, and the full gacha card book for those who want to see that is done in both saves. Save 2 is right before the end of the game if you want to try and beat it.
