Review An incredible rpg game that besides having the classic elements of the genre such as turn-based combat, crafting systems, weapon skills, etc, but also has a story that is escalating in depth thanks to the variety of characters in the story with their own background and personal goals and as icing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DON'T FORGET TO INSTALL THE PATCH FROM THE KAGURA SITE, THE GAME WILL BE MISSING MOST OF THE CONTENT IF YOU DON'T I literally played for 1.5 hours without it before I noticed something was wrong. And saves don't work after you patch the game, so any progress you make will be lost. So don't make the same mistake, PATCH FIRST THEN PLAY!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is primarily an interactive story with lots of dialogue to read, which is the strongest side to this game. Late game dungeons become super long, repetitive and uninteresting. Lewd content patch feels like an afterthought. It(the lewd) is not integrated into the main story in any way and you need to seek it out separately to experience it. If you plan to do a virgin run first you may as well not install the patch at all as there would be 0 difference gameplay or story wise. And even…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →And the Hero Was Never Seen Again by @circle-poison.bsky.social An amazing RPG game with a genderbender heroine, a long and deep fantasy story with a complete rpg combat system, excellent art, and JP VA, still uncensored sex scenes via patch. 8.5⭐ #hentai store.steampowered.com/app/2582660/...
unlabelledView post →Way better than it has any right to be as a Kagura Game. TL;DR This should be in the library of any Kagura Games fan, period. Anyone who knows Kagura Games are used to short RPGmaker games where the main appeal is the CGs. Very rarely, you'll find games like Brave Alchemist Colette, Magical Girl Celesphonia, or Noelle Does Her Best, which shows the highs that Kagura Games can produce. This title, in my opinion, shows the peak. Full disclosure for people who are "only" here for the CG, you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is clearly trying to not be a simple hentai VN with RPG elements, but it's not trying hard enough because many aspects of the gameplay and plot are unpolished. The skits have been my favorite part as they reminded me of the Tales skits (Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Xillia, Tales of Vesperia, etc). I've only gotten partway in chapter 4 by the time of this review, but by this point in a decent RPG, there should be a variety of strategies on handling fights, complex characters, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →And my last ounce of dignity was never seen again after buying this 10/10 must get
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall : 8/10 Story : Long, Very good Gameplay : Its ok Grind : Low to mid Art : Very good R-18 : Not many This game has a good story. It took me around 14-15 hours to finish the main story. But if you are here for R-18 scenes, this game wont offer much. There are 3 characters, so even tho there are a lot of CGs, its not varied. Most of the main girls' talks are voiced. Play it if you like to see a good story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just finished the game and...yes I can recommend it! The RPG part is intersting enough. Not like many of those H games. In fact you can play the entire game without doing any naughty things. The only Part that you need the patch for is that if you rise your lewd level than you can get some ability slots...and that makes the game easier...but you only need to consume some lewd potions to get the required points. Now this game isn't without some problems. No, no bugs or such. I mean the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ not bad gameplay + anime feel + skit + good H-stat + good costume change + good fap - H-scene don't effect main story - need 18+ patch
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8/10 for RPG games 5/10 for H games full voice 3 main character is super ultimate good no sexuality battle. no display and erotic ART images takes time too much for access 18+ content and it's just a mini-game that doesn't within the main story as well. that's why this game is bad for H games. i'm not good at english i recommend this game. but i can't vote recommend i need H games. not RPG games
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Came for hentai, stayed for gameplay and story. This is actually solid game, with or without patch. Gameplay is default RPG turn based, but there is somewhat strategy in it. Story is really good on the H-game standards and it has nice "episode" feel in it, as after every big battle, there is end-credits style video. 8.5/10, for non-animated scenes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who appreciates an RPG that feels great when you interact with its systems, this game is a treat. There's a lot of flexibility in the way you can build your characters. I turned my mage into an AOE revenge tank with healing and magic damage capability, and there's nothing I love more than a revenge tank. This is one of those RPGs where you build your party around first turn sweeping random mobs and having a solid strategy for strong opponents. Good stuff. Regarding the H…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After getting burned a couple times, I swore to not buy something before the reviews came out again but I had the feeling from the trailer that I would love this game and so I got it as soon as it came out and, safe to say, I was NOT disappointed. The story is amazing, the art is amazing, the music is gorgeous, the voice-acting is really good and, best of all, you can not only have a virgin run but the game actively encourages you to by rewarding you for remaining a virgin. The game is best…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This adult game is in a class of its own. The adult scenes actually distract from the best that this game offers. Here we have true anime combining with decent game play to provide a wonderful entertainment. My mind is blown away.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →And the Hero Was Never Seen Again, developed by Circle Poison and published by Kagura Games, is a character-driven JRPG that subverts traditional heroic fantasy by beginning where most adventures end. Instead of focusing on the climactic battle against a demon lord, the story unfolds in the aftermath of victory. The legendary hero Astel has defeated the ultimate evil, yet awakens transformed and weakened, thrust into a world that has moved on from the need for a champion. This narrative premise…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →And the Hero Was Never Seen Again seems to have a similar issue.
unlabelledView post →Story is on good side, considered very good for this type of game. The combat feel like an actual gameplay with some option for skill and equipment. The 3 main characters is very well-designed. Viewing Skit often make me smile. For the H-content the art is goods and contains a lot of variety and fetishes. This game is a very solid game even without the H-content. I would recommend you to play it just for the story and gameplay are worth the price, H-scenes are just freebie.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice Story, lacking H. Game can have an actual difficulty that can be mitigated by crafting every chapter if you play at hard mode or harder so that's a plus. 6/10, don't regret it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Time travel story, good even without the H. SFW mode an be toggled in options. 28h to finish, cleared most of the bosses. There's NG+. H scenes are poor – it's the usual visual novel, but without auto mode. Virgin clear gives a bonus late-game. 100% gallery unlock is available as an option late-game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty good games. but focused storyline too much. it's an RPG games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far, the art is amazingly nice, there's a pretty cool intro that is well animated, and the UI is fairly intuitive. I will say as a point of criticism that it's really weird to not have the save function as apart of the main menu, and it's instead under Key items as the save-anywhere-pen. While not the worst, it is unintuitive and isn't the first thing one thinks of when thinking of a save function. Also, I still haven't figured out how to load without quitting the game entirely. So far,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm going to say up front. If you're getting this for the h-content alone this is not a recommend. The H-content feels like an afterthought. There's a lot of it, but it's not particularly great (it's not bad either just dull), and for what appears to be a corruption game it's lacking in impact in that category. Probably the most frustrating thing for me in particular is that it has zero impact on the story. Like the one good thing about it is I like all the girls for different reasons in the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this game previously before purchasing it myself, and even thought that's not how I found the game, I really ended up liking the characters in this game, and kept wanting to see what would happen next. The story seems a bit slow at first but really kicks it up as you continue playing the game. While it wasn't the most creative story ever I liked the slight inspiration it might have taken from games like Chrono Trigger. But the characters were the best part of it, the plot becoming more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun and neat story with plenty of naughty fun for those interested.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →solid 8/10 had an actual story with a pretty decent twist. characters are well written and their interactions were really enjoyable. a small issue here is that a good chunk of character interactions take place outside of the main story, you will have to keep an eye out for those. i'm ok with that since it makes those conversations feel more organic and less scripted. gameplay could use some polish. theres a good amount of depth (each character can equip 2 weapons that do different things, you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I give the game 7/10 The link is a review I did on the game https://youtu.be/9h1IBP9mwN0
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game for sure did a play threw with no H scenes because i was curious about the reward and it made the game more challenging which was fun. This game claims no controller support but i use a fusion by powera controller and it works well only a few keys are not bound. I prefer using the controller as playing this game for 8+ hours at a time makes my hands hurt due to key positioning. The game never crashed and the story was compelling. liked the anime aesthetic the art and cgs took as it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty Entertaining
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In spite of some disappointing H-scenes (especially some of "Disaster's" scenes) and some minor gripes, I still enjoyed this one. The gameplay at least presents a certain degree of challenge, though it gets easier by the end-game, the story is actually interesting (though it gets a little bit crazy by the end), and most H-scenes (and their corresponding voice-acting) are pretty enjoyable for the most part, even if they can be somewhat repetitive between each of the three (F) main…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very enjoyable game, great art and voice acting, story is good with some twist here and there, H-scene is optional and not relate to any part of the story. However, the gameplay is quite boring and repetitive but I don't think we came here for the gameplay, right? :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While i rate positive this game, i can't really say i recommend it. Bad parts: - Other then rape and prostitution, there isn't anything to do in free time. - so many guides, that you constantly remember it's just a game (aka never get into the story). - costumes you change (this is done via status meniu) and abilities you add, are reset at way to many times. Depending on person: - short game 10 - 15 for 100%. - most scenes are rape (as long as you don't lose battles, nothing is forced,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good story and game overall even though the h scenes sometimes feel like an afterthought.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good story, the mc is very beautiful -v-b
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a big NO from me. I think the problem with the Steam equation is a game like this. I'm playing it for the H-content, and instead they tricked me into reading their completely passable, flat character filled, never-ending story written by someone with the inability to stick to one topic long enough to make it interesting. It's like, I know what will make this interesting, another character with the same personality as all the other one dimensional characters, but they have a long and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a huge fan of Circle Poison's games and this is their best game so far. Great cast, loved the art and the H, and I enjoyed the (slightly convoluted) plot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great story very fun just finished my virgin run long 13 chapters but worth it
