  This H-Game does a great job of satisfying both sides of the coin. On One side there's the amazing story with actual characters you learn and care about But on the other is the H-content which is exceptional, but also 100% optional and can be missed if you don't actively pursue it. This game is exactly what H-Games should be, a game first and pron second, but both at S-Tier quality

  If I buy a game...and RPG game I want to play an RPG game. This may calls itself so, but it is nothing more than an VN. I spend more time with not or very small animated pictures telling me a rather boring story (the usual high fantasy) than playing. From the beginning: You play as Clacier a female special forces knight and in a few chapters as Annette her friend from the corps. There is no party...you are alone. Now for till the final chapter you will get missions from the knights and sometimes from citicens. They all play the same. You warp to the mission, enter a 2 - 3 level dungeon and beat the boss. No problem, the enemies (on normal) are 1 - 2 hits and gone. The boss maybe takes up to 5 hits. Not once was my char in any danger. With other words the RPG part is BORING like hell. After chapter 3 or so citicens don't give new quests. The final chapter is the most boring of the game. It is a slideshow with next to 0 interaction. Between the chapters and sometimes the missions you must watch interaction between the characters of the knight corps. Pictures..repeated pictures with very little changes (but those changes are also repeated). Now this is a H-game. That means you get a full screen of sexual information. In the RPG part you can run around the city and 3 small towns (very small) there you encounter lewd content like harresment or watching other couples, even exhibitionism. And I guess if you lose a fight (but that is nearly impossible if you don't help the monsters). My problem is....the heroine is shit ugly and the pictures of her are more like pictures of an anomaly. I bought the append DLC...but that is just more pictures...and you need to play the game a second time to see them..I was told... My total time with this game is a little over 11 hours...real playtime I would guess is at around 3 - 4 hours. Can I recommend this game...of course if you seek a boring game...this is it (sorry, but I just don't like VN) never before have I used the skip command (CTRL) so much.

  A relatively polished reboot of Dark Elf that borders on self-plagiarism. If you've played that game, you're getting "the same, but less amateurish". There's three distinct "routes" through the game, about 4 hrs of mediocre RPGMaker JRPG combat each. Uncensor patch available on the publisher's website; but does require e-mail registration to login as per usual.

  If you've played Dark Elf you know exactly what to expect

  The premise, setup, gameplay, etc, etc is pretty much identical. This game has far more polished graphics - featuring some decent animated vignettes - and a load more going on, but nothing interesting in the way of depth.

  The game's plot routing system works to its detriment

  The "throw fights to see H-scenes" gameplay is particularly cumbersome in this game, with it expecting you to throw a certain number of boss fights to choose between the main routes, combined with a totally opaque "corruption" mechanic. It means you need to check a guide to have even a vague idea of why some obvious content seems inexplicably unavailable.

  The game's content isn't particularly good

  There's a load of extreme fetish content included, which you'd think would appeal to the target audiences; but there's so many deficiencies with the game experience itself that it totally fails to hit the target for any of them. As is typical for the genre, it falls into the ludonarrative pitfalls of dull JRPG combat having nothing to do with sex or eroticism. It involves walking the female protagonist into obvious moral hazards just to trigger h-scenes. There's pretty much no narrative connection between the various events in the game, so all the sex scenes are largely divorced from wider story-telling and thus any emotional context or significance. It's got the same issue with crappy under-developed sex-combat mechanics that are totally incongruous with the rest of the game experience, and feel thrown-in and bolted-on for no real reason.

  You've seen this game before a hundred times

  Makina; Tina;Ambrosia; Meltys; etc, etc. All with the same disengaging bland JRPG fantasy setting; the same bland disengaging JRPG combat; the same tropes, characters - even the same scenes. If you're desperate to see yet another iteration of your favourite hardcore fetish content churned out soullessly and by-the-numbers on the mediocre eroge treadmill, this game's exactly what you expect. It offers absolutely nothing above and beyond the basic standard this genre caters to.

  Nope. This game is a waste of time and not worth $25 even with the patch. (This Review Contains Mild Spoilers) (I played the Knight route) Let's get down to brass tacks. You were probably interested in this game because of certain large assets. Unfortunately, they are not the focal point of the game. That alone is a rather big issue, but it gets worse. The actual content of the game isn't good, either. First, the story. It's good... unless you're old enough to be playing this game, then it's not. The story takes a turn for the worse about midway through, where essentially everything becomes an ass-pull (meaning: "when the writers pull a narrative development out of thin-air in a less-than-graceful fashion"). A character's race magically changes, multiple people come back from the dead for no reason, an army of monsters spawns infinitely, there's syringes filled with macguffin, the list goes on. Things aren't much better before that, with writing fit for edgy teenagers and plot devices only ever good for 1 scene only, but the second half of the game takes all the worst aspects and turns them up to 11. The gameplay is even worse than that. There is no challenge. NO challenge. Depending on the game and the person, this could be a good thing, however... this essentially means that Ideology in Friction is actually a visual novel. Not an RPG. This is a visual novel interlaced with annoying RPG Maker segments. Also, almost none of the attacks have special animations. There's a short one for the basic attack if you finish a monster with it, then a short one for a couple of end-game moves. None of them are particularly good or flashy compared to what you would see in virtually any other game, and they don't show off the characters' bodies very well, either. Remember, the price on this game is $25. The visuals are so-so. All moving animations are bad. Flash-animation bad. The still pictures used in various scenes are much better done... but also very few in number. Even "action-packed" cutscenes will frequently only use one or two pictures for the entire scene, and each scene can go on for a while due to the visual-novel pacing. The worst thing about this game, though, is that most of the H scenes are heavily focused on appeasing R fantasies. If you're not into that, you won't be seeing much since you have to go through that if you want to see more of that side of the game. Due to the lack of challenge in this game, you have to force those scenes by losing on purpose. If the ensuing scene makes you feel bad... well, that's too bad for you. Enjoy your below-par visual novel. If you play this, I recommend beating it once and then unlocking the rest of the scenes from the main menu.

  An OK Visual Novel that really wants to be a bad JRPG instead. First off, the reason you're probably here. H-Content is NOT present in the base game and requires a separate download from the developer's website. The art is pretty good, the variety is good. It's actually pretty difficult to get the H-Content by accident. Much of it is gated behind the protagonist's loss of her virginity, which can generally only be done before the final chapter by actively seeking out nonconsensual sex. "Leveling" so that she actually enjoys intercourse is a huge grind that's difficult to overcome until the halfway point. It's a really weird design decision that makes casual play feel unrewarding. Speaking of casual play, eroge JRPGs are kind of a thing right now and the scene-unlock shovelware is a trend. This doesn't feel like one of those -- in fact, it looks like a great deal of care went into creating equipment, spell and skill options, and hand-drawing animations for a bunch of different H-things that can occur in combat. And then someone presumably got butthurt (perhaps literally?) at losing an encounter by mashing A continuously and all the enemy stats were dropped to trivial numbers. Even on Normal, the bosses are trivial, made only worse as you are inevitably bathed in more EXP than bodily fluids, zooming past all the ero content along your accidental spree of destruction. There's no "Hard" mode, so the inclusion of an "Easy" mode seems like a joke more than anything. So that leaves the VN portion. The story is OK, the writing is generally great but the plot direction comes off as very 'seinen'. It's not without its highs, and in fact the moments of dramatic tension and loss really stand out as genuine and personal. It's just that the game keeps having to take away my control to tell the story about loss because, well, I guess it made me an invincible powerhouse. Maybe they knew their boss design sucked? Aside from one of the (many?) endings, clearing the game treats you with free access to an unlockable gallery during gameplay, although I've somehow accidentally unlocked everything in it without doing anything. It was actually kind of disappointing, because I'd have been willing to check out what happens if I go out of my way to lose -- but I don't have any incentive to, nor direction on what I have yet to explore. I think, ultimately, I just can't figure out who this game is supposed to be for; a graphic adult visual novel where it's hard to actually find any sexual content, with a plot only teenagers would enjoy, and RPG elements that would challenge all but the smartest of children -- and don't worry, they could just choose Easy I guess.

  I bought this game just for the LOLs and porn, but ended up experiencing a wonderful RPG with great characters, story, romance, fights, art and music that just so happens to have porn in it. 11/10 never been so glad to be bamboozled.

  Now that OneOne1 is finally getting a proper translation into these games, the story telling quality has shot up enough that the RPG quality can finally shine through. I don't even like hrpg's and I like this game.

  An H-game that isn't complete shovelware? Sure, I'll support that.
