RPGM - Completed - Heroic Saga of Lumina the Brave 0 [v1.03] [totomel]

version 1.03

it has multiple bugs. i encountered 1 gamebreaking bug where game just freezes. then it has translation errors, there are parts where it's not translated at all, sometimes status effects remain when they shouldn't(sometimes you have naked stat while you are fully clothed) and 1-2 other bugs i don't remember.

story is 1/5. all your story is that you are a summoned hero... that's it. end. who are you or where you came from, well good luck finding out....

art is not bad although i don't like these ugly gigantic tits... plus it's censored.

h-scenes: battlefuck. animated. things move a bit awkwardly. (live2D engine i believe)

gameplay: too. easy. it's just not fun to play this at all. you have to use skill "observe" and do nothing for a lot of rounds or do the opposite of what the tips say then you can lose, else it's easy win every encounter... plus you can use potions FOR A FREE ACTION, meaning it doesn't consume a turn. you have plenty of potions and plenty of money... it's just too braindead.... then it's a short game.

there are some traps, but even when you get into the trap it's too easy to win.

so this is a terrible experience. if there weren't bugs in it i would give it 2/5 or maybe even 3/5, but since it even has gamebreaking bugs i think it's a terrible experience to play this. H-scene is censored genitalia, this is not just not worth anyone's time.

The game is actually pretty good.

+ Good art
+ Animated
+ No grind needed
+ Voice on certain scenes
+ Some story, I actually looking forward to see what will happen in the sequel


- Rather short
- Monster have little variety


Will play the sequel

Story: 1/5 too much generic "uh demon lord is destroying the world let's summon the hero", the side characters don't even matter to the plot and the plot is bad. The story is too short, btw.
Gameplay: 1/5 first half of the game spam one skill, use potion, spam same skill. second half you can ignore all status effects just using regen and dmg skill, gold does not matter there are items everywhere to collect and you don't even need to collect nothing because you don't need to use for any boss they are weak as f.
Art: 4/5 good stuff animated and well drawn, but wasted hot side characters, I finished the game and was left with no cg of the rest of the crew? wtf.

2/5 because the art is good, just grab a save and don't look at the artwork of the other side characters bc you're going to be sad. Complete but incomplete at the same time and wasted time for me.

Art is good, but it's all it have, it's animated, with sound.

Fights are too easy, just have to rush the boss and spam, no need to fight monsters on the way. You will get only gold which is not necessary for the items and boss fight.

The only way to get CG or Bad Status (which seems to be a good mechanic but no impacting much) is to lose voluntary, no pressure from fighting.

the play time and it scene alot shorter than the other game, but i think it make up for since it now has VA, more sound effects, more lore and story line and animated scene along with other unique system from the other game are in this one also

good short game, much more better than other long tiring rpgm game, including the story. recommended if you interested with battle fuck, rape, futa. there's no leveling or any side quest, its quite linier.

overall,
Pros :
+Good short game
+animated
+voiced at some part
+good art
+good story despite its short

cons :
-the translation caused some bugs to performance and had issue that cause the game stuck, now it fixed but not with the performance issue, tho this is not affecting my rating because it did not had anything to do with the game.

I like it. It's much, much too short despite having a lot of potential, which is why I think the other reviews are giving 3-4 stars.

It lacks a proper overworld, general depth in the dungeons that gives away its nature as a '0' Prequel more than the others. The boss designs are pretty cookie cutter and expected from H-games - the big goblin starter, the big plant mid-boss, the machine guy, the mind-control lady at the end, pretty common stuff that a lot of other, much more developed and intricate h-games do. The acerola games and their standard stuff comes to mind.

What is has is spine-moving h-scenes and a surprisingly thought-out story, if cookie-cutter. It's a '0', a set up for an eventual big game, and it shows. The dev even admitted that he put much more effort into the story by accident as compared to the H-scenes, and shows plenty of proofs of concept in his commentary.

The art is great, the story has potential, the h-statuses are integrated with the gameplay. These three things are what I am an absolute sucker for, and if there's one thing I like more than just good H-art to wank to its someone who actually puts in effort to make a decent game, even if it's just on the writing end.

The fact I actually read through the entire dev commentary instead of doing the usual 'okay what did i miss' in the gallery makes this worth 5 stars. I look forward to their eventual work.

Eh, it's okay.

Translation: Dazedanon TL, solid work as always.

Story: The demons have taken over the world, and the hot MC is the only one who can stop them by.. beating up specific demons so a world tree will then magically fix everything. It's not winning any awards here, that's for sure.

Gameplay: H-Game RPGM Combat variant #2. Aka It's basic, easy as fuck RPGM combat, but there's some lewd twists. In this case we get armor break, a restraint system, and an orgasm meter for the enemies teasing her. There's also bad states, and I sure am a fan of bad states. I'm not sure if they even really do anything, but they add a layer of eroticism for me that ticks some strange box I never knew I had before discovering lewd RPGs.

H-Content/Art: MC is hot. I like her design. I'm a simple girl, I see big booba, I like big booba. There's a few "scenes" that cause you to end up with restraints and stuff at the start of a combat, like one in the first dungeon that forces a blindfold and gag on you. Unfortunately removing them is just using an item out of your inventory so minus points there. That would be the complaint here is that it isn't even just lose to lewd, which I generally don't mind, it's "Literally let it happen to lewd". Still, the art is great for what's there.

It's not the worst, it's not the best. You could do worse though, and it actually incorporates restraints at all into the game somewhat so it gets a recommendation if you're like me and looking for that kind of stuff. Otherwise.. eh, if you got nothing better to get yourself off to then go for it.

As much as I like the art and animations, I can't give gameplay like this anything more than a 3/5. It's stupidly easy, and while it presents itself as a battle fuck RPG where you'd be overwhelmed with restraints, status effects and corruption, it's really one of those "spam Wait to lose" and see sex type games. The circle's previous work (RJ422316) is much denser and has actual gameplay.

tl;dr fappable but don't expect an actual RPG

Gameplay - just ignore everything and rush the boss
Story - meh
H-scenes - fully animated, very jiggly, very nice

So TL DR, just drop a save and enjoy.

This feels a lot more like a gallery hidden inside a game. 4/5.

Is this the best H-game ever? No.
It's short and the gameplay is very simplistic. There is not much depth as a game in here, it's very linear and the lewd stuff only happens in battles.

That being said as a H-game, the lewd is properly integrated into the gameplay (which I wish I could say about 90% of the other H games). The heroine can be afflicted with all kinds of different statuses that belong to some kind of fetish (BDSM, crest, sensitivity etc.) and they are reflected in battles, both model-wise and in gameplay as they act as debilitating debuffs. Bosses usually have some kind of gimmick that you have to interact or you will lose (aka get the lewd scenes).

If people are wondering why the dev didn't go further with game (even though the basis is there) this is meant to be a prequel for a much larger game that involves the entire cast of characters rather just the protagonist alone.
