    Great Game! Finally officially came over to the west! and yes there is a patch to download for full R18+ from Johren website. this was probably my first Hentai that got me into the genre other than Bible Black! if we want to see more of these games we do have to support the games and this game might not be for everyone if you don't like "forced" sex scenes. other than that I'm here for that Dark Elf!

    Uninstalled after 20 minutes. Imagine a Japanese dude who has forgotten the face of his father locked himself in a cave for 2 weeks with nothing but krokodil and the complete works of the Marquis of Sade to keep him company, with the singular goal of coming up with the most lurid, awful descriptions of rape and the physical limitations of the female anatomy he could think of. Now imagine staring at a still, pixelated image of an anime girl getting raped for about 15 minutes while clicking…

    Just watch the hentai and save yourself 20 bucks. The 2D scenes and over the top voice acting does little compared to the studio quality hentai. You can google the H scenes if you really want to, and there's full play throughs on phub. You also need to download a patch that's 5 times the size of the game, in order to play the real version, which just removes the censorship and adds a few more scenes. As for personal opinion, I really don't like the premise of the main character and…

    I just wanted to know how is this poison taste like compared to anime. - Applying patch is required to play, get it from external website (Johren), patch itself is free but needs account registration. - Lots of hardcore stuff below the iceburg, lots of wailing and grunt. It made me respect the skill of those voice actors! - Writer of this game really love to describe the deed scene in very thorough detail, maybe to the point of what I call it too bloated. You could easily spend ~1hr per…

    Translation is quite poor, reads like an edited machine translation. Odd sentence structure and gender pronouns switch with every line, sometimes uses her or his referering to the same character.

    You can see a bunch of goblins "play" with a defeated holy knight wearing armor that makes bikini armor look modest. 10/10 Actual review, this is a great VN if you like dark stuff. Great character designs in really revealing outfits and lots of creative brutal sex scenes involving both humans and monsters.

    The VN itself isn't bad, but the translation/localization is lackluster, unpolished and has various mistakes. It's nothing new when it comes to Shiravune, but other publishers have done better when it comes to their translations, so I don't see why Shiravune wouldn't be able to do better too.

    Me before playing this VN: Man! i can't believe the visual novel finally released on steam! i sure hope i'm going to enjoy this as much as i enjoyed those adult anime versions a couple of years ago! Me 10 minutes in to the game with the R18 patch: I think i'm way over my head with this.. The anime certainly toned down a lot of the... "graphic" stuff. and that's saying something. BUT as they say, "in for a penny, in for a pound". so i'm going to go all in with this novel!

    Developers — we need a TRUE HAPPY END! We need a continuation of these heroines’ stories with a proper, hopeful ending!!! In 2025 this cannot be the way it all ends. (My review is marked as “positive” only because of my love for the characters - Olga Discordia and Celestine Lucross - and my respect for them in the anime and manga.) Kuroinu is the darkest, most distressing and heart-wrenching visual novel I have ever played. Even compared to the anime or the manga, this is something…

    Claims to have 2+ hours of story, delivers only a few mins. Yeah, you're paying $20 for a "Visual novel" that only has a few minutes of actual visuals. 100% a scam and needs to be taken off the store for being a scam. But wait you might say, you can download the full game via an outside website. But of course, you need to know what website that is and imagine if the discussion group tab didn't work, you'll have no idea where to even full download the whole game. But why should you be forced to…

    I believe there were times when Steam truly became a place for fans of Eroge. When I think about that, I think about titles such as Saya no Uta, published by JAST USA; Kyonyuu Fantasy, published by MangaGamer; Honoo no Oppai Isekai Ero Academy, published by Frontwing. and yes, I would also consider the release of Kuroinu one of those crucial moments when Shiravune brought it to Steam the other day. which was like, 2 years ago.

    First, you have to get the free "patch" so I don't recommend buying it on Steam. Secondly, this isn't for everyone. Personally, less than half of the scenes are "pleasant" to "use" so purchase if the price seems right considering you won't like 100% of the game. On the other hand if you like gang rape you can purchase this at full price and be satisfied with your purchase. IF YOU CAME HERE FROM THE ADAPTATIONS DO NOT EXPECT THIS GAME TO BE AS MILD/SOFT

    Kuroinu Redux, developed by Liquid and published by Shiravune, is a dark fantasy visual novel that explores themes of betrayal, conquest, and power struggles within a richly detailed, high-fantasy world. The story centers around Vult, a mercenary commander who shockingly turns against the Seven Shields Alliance, his former comrades, and aligns himself with the enigmatic dark-elven Queen Olga. This act of treason sets off a chain of events that lead to the subjugation of the continent of Eos,…

    I never played something so... unstimulating. Don't get me wrong, i knew what type of VN this was beforehand, and i do have a sadistic streak, but i need a reason to want to see someone suffer, this games gave me nothing at all. we barely see the girls for one scene before their fall. i guess that if you want to see something hardcore, but don't have the stomach for actual blood and gore, this is your best option.

    The first episode of the anime will forever be top tier. The VN is pretty good as well with a lot more content. You'd have to be a complete degenerate to enjoy this so if you are a vanilla kind of person stay far away. Took almost 15 hours to 100% this. There are actually two files you can add. One for 18+ and one to put mangagamer's version of the uncensored CGs. But if you do that it'll switch back and forth between mosaics and not since that version had a lot left out. Once you finish…
