RPGM - Completed - Star Knightess Aura [v1.0.2] [aura-dev]

Loved the game , so far development seems very good and decent level of dedication by dev. Can't wait fo full release , i just wish it had animations , it'd be iciing on the cake


Pros - Very good art, decent plot , good nsfw scenes

cons - little slow on development side.

One of the few RPGM maker games that justify it being a game, and not an interactive slideshow. Roya is a harsh world and you'll actually have to use your brain to explore and survive. The Atlus inspirations are blatantly clear from the combat to the time-management to the dual real and fantasy world narratives, complete with a pseudo-awakening in the eleventh hour of exploring the first major boss's palace --er, realm. Thought was evidently put into the decision making moment to moment gameplay. That being said, it's often quite difficult to ascertain whether you're ready for an area without prior knowledge, which can lead to some annoying save scums as you enter, and then get immediately blasted by the boss way harder than you (the deep forest is a good example of this). Signposting where exactly is safe for you through dialogue or allowing running away from more fights would be good ideas I think. The game, like the early iterations of SMT it draws inspiration from, is unforgiving if you dawdle, and the pressure to play optimally, especially for all the pink scenes, is a bit too much, I think.

The game is hard as balls without prior knowledge, even if you're familiar with the genre, and most of this comes not from the boss battles, but from knowing what you can do, where you can go safely, and where you can not. Coupled with the fact that a lot of things in this game are timed or limited, I feel that there's a lot of potential for new players to make decisions that could make the playthrough much much harder for them without even realizing it (not investing in the Slime for example will likely make or break playthroughs, but its importance is really never mentioned). The NG+ feature somewhat alleviates this, but again, the game is so long that it feels like a gorilla patch rather than a real fix.

The story is serviceable, it's engaging enough to the point where you do wonder about the mysteries and what will happen in the end, but not anymore than that.

The sex scenarios are good too, if not static; even in this stage of development there's quite a few of them. This game is indeed a heavy slow burn. I imagine the sex scenes from here on out in the late game will only get sluttier and sluttier (who plays corruption games to make the MC pure?), so make of that what you will.

Anyway, if you like corruption games that are fun to play, you should definitely play this game. Just pick Easy on your first playthrough if you want to optimize. If you don't like waiting ten to fifteen hours to see penetrative scenes, don't like hard games, or only play complete games, you should probably skip this one.

people are salty cause it takes like ~12 hours to get to the porn
for me its one the best games on site - rpg aspect's are challenging and fun
i like that enemies never respawn and move on patrol routes
i had to suspend disbelief hard cause mc just dont realise that the drastic changes in hersrelf are connected to being possessed - its explained as effect of the curse
tip: corruption is easy to get and hard to spend also holy water price skyrocket with time

I find this one hard to review. One one hand, it's no doubt one of the better games on the site. The problem is, there is very little lewd content in the game currently and most of it is hard to find.

The premise of the game is amazing and exactly what I'm looking for. I love slow-corruption female protag games. But this game was not worth the time I put into it unfortunately.

Let me say this, I played the game for 20 hours without a guide and progressed to the end of the current content. I think I saw a total of 7 or 8 lewd scenes the whole time. One flashing scene, one getting her butt felt up, 2 or 3 with other characters, one handjob and that's it. No blowjobs, no sex at all.

There are more lewd scenes in the game, but you would need to follow a guide to find them all. Which I'm not a big fan of doing.

The dialogue is well written, the gameplay is good, the problem is.... I thought this was a lewd game and I got very little lewd action. It spent much more time in mean girls like dialogue and school scenes with nothing lewd at all. Just extremely slow corruption.

I would say, wait for this game to be completed and then play it with a guide. It's not worth your time right now due to the lack of lewd scenes; which pains me to say tbh as it is a great game.

When this game is completed it will likely be a 5/5 game, just extremely slow to start but should pay off. The problem is, right now, the slow build up doesn't yet pay off so it's not currently worth the time. 5/5 potential though.

excelent game, the mechanic of the game works fine and accompany the history pretty well, manage GM and his mechanics without errors, thanks to that the game is very enjoyable, i full recomend this game if you like the "topics" that presents.

It's a great game if you like slow corruption games with a female protagonist.

Solid story, fair difficulty (there is also a hard mode option) and nice scenes.

The updates are quite regular too, which is nice.

This game is well worth the investment! Unlike others in the genre, it's a pretty intensive "corruption" that shows how sinister the genre really is. The mind control from Luciela (cough) is thorough, and takes into account how to fundamentally rewrite the MC in a way that takes into account the totality of her being.

Most corruption games pretty much end the first time you get the MC to cum, and it's essentially a picture grab at that point. In this one, you'll go weeks in game before sex even really crosses the MC's mind. I felt guilty with some of these scenes, knowing my direct intervention is the only reason the MC had changed enough to do the things they did. The combat, in the meantime, is pretty rock solid. It has dimensions to it that are fun to experiment with, as well as a weakness and buff system that makes sense intuitively.

It's not a good porn game. It's just a good game, that has sex and porn in it. It's what a lot of people wish h-games were like, myself included. I found myself genuinely enjoying the plot and combat, building my lil' slime companion, reveling in the story with the characters you interact with.

Cheers to your continued success!

This is a genuinely good game with a nice story, good characters (some character interactions actually were really funny, even made me laugh), great Art and also some unique and innovative gameplay elements. As others have already stated, if you are into slow corruption games, this can be a good pick.

Still, after spending 16h on this game I have some gripe with it. While Chapter 1 starts strong, it becomes quite the slog after some time. There is too much gameplay that involves standard RPG Elements(Roaming around Maps, killing Mob Groups, Looting...) which don't give H-Content or even really contribute to the story. Furthermore some dialogs are very long winded, especially during the real world phase. The difficulty is fairly high even on "normal" and while I don't mind challenging gameplay it makes the grind even worse. I think Chapter 1 should be shortened or alternatively more H-Content added, some H-Encounters in Dungeons would be nice. In Chapter 2(After the Festival of Greed) the game picks up the pace to a more enjoyable level, but getting to Chapter 2 can take over 8h.

Really the only reason why I am giving a 4/5 here is because of Chapter 1, otherwise this game is easily a 5/5 in my opinion.

I have to write a review because this game being under 4 stars is a crime. This is probably the best slow corruption games on the site and if you enjoy corruption games you should definitely give this game a shot. Even though this game isn't completed there's a ton of content already for many hours.

The story is interesting and the world is great. The art is great and the slow corruption of the main character is really really well done. Having the character get more corrupt in real world and in fantasy world is an interesting concept. The combat is standard RPGM combat, but the game allows for different builds and ways to play to keep it somewhat interesting.

The downsides for the game is building of the corruption stat, which is sometimes hard to manage (if you let it build too high it's game over) and sometimes you may get stuck not knowing what to do because the quest journal isn't always clear of your objectives. This is bad because you build up corruption daily and if you cant find a way to progress you end up building corruption which results in game over.

I hope some of the things get improved or adjusted upon completion of this game, but it still didn't stop me from enjoying this game alot. Can't wait for this game to be completed.

This game is a must-play if slow corruption is your style.

I've watched this game go from the old MS Paint artwork with essentially no content slowly into the first sex scene well over a year and a half later with proper HCGs.

The developer does astounding work - constant updates, constant polishes. The game is actually, in fact, a fucking game - you can properly play it even without the corruption, and it is indeed hard, and is actually quite a nice and refreshing challenge if you like turn-based RPGs, which I do. The fact the developer does fucking balance changes should tell you all you need to know about the game - it's a GAME, not quick porn for you to get off to and leave.

This is a slow, incredibly slow, corruption game that you can also go for actual gameplay for. If you're here for a quick fap, turn elsewhere, but if you're into more slow-burn style stories and slow corruption, I don't think there's a single better game to follow right now other than this.

The ONE complaint to be made is that you need to keep porting your saves all the time. As someone who regularly formats their PC every ~6 months to 1 year, I've had to play this from scratch at least 3 times by now, and it's a bit of a drag.

Pacing is really off, takes a long time to get started for really not much payoff. Balancing the corruption spending with progression in the world is really not intuitive, without following a walkthrough I hit the max upgrades well before unlocking Nephlune. I understand there's a NG+ feature but the game really doesn't seem well designed around that

Good game but very grindy.

Review for current version 0.30.2

Pros :
Good art , really cute girl.
Interesting story
Rpg elements are nice with oufits

Cons :

A little bit grindy and text is very long
Slow updates

[v0.30.0]
Good game.
Hopefully there are more h-scenes in the future.

-Story, Originality
Some good basic plot.
Not my cup of tea, but many will like it.

-Renders
Cool 2D art.

-Sound
Basic sounds and music.

-Playability
Pretty big game, but I am not sure I can play through all of it.

-Performance
Runs like an average RPGM game.

-Bugs
Didn't see any.

-Animations
Basic picture changing animations.

-Voice Acting
Some sounds (Don't remember hearing actual dialog).

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
Great ammount of scenes, but most of them are just dialog.

Almost all of the scenes are h-scenes in medieval part.
And ~7 h-scenes in the modern part.

After dumping 16 hours of my life playing this game, for all of you reading this, I'd say play it. A unique take on the hero vs villain story for the fate of the world, after the evil forces lose a major fight in the prologue, they decide their only hopes of winning would be through brainwashing. A curse is placed on the heroine which allows one of the villains to discretely change her mind, through her psychology, values and memories.

Reading the prologue, this brings us into one of the core genres of this game which is corruption. The progression from an innocent virgin woman into a full blown thottie is taken very slow. READ THIS, as some absolutely hate or love it because of this. On the easiest mode and with boosted stats to skip any grind, it took me 9 HOURS to finally see this fictional bitch give some head. 14 hours in she lost her virginity. For those looking for a more realistic timeline to corruption, you'll love it. If you don't want to sink in the time and you're looking to bust a quick nut, it's a nightmare.

The story is pretty good, that alongside the world building compliments the genre I've listed above. Outside of the Roya, or fantasy world you'll be spending a majority of the time in, the scenes in her highschool real world are kind of just there to show the results of the brainwashing and where she's at.

Last on the review is artwork. The scenes are varied enough and the illustration's good looking. Hopefully that's not because hours into the game, you'd be pressed to find any scenes but that's just me.

I don't understand how anyone plays this, I guess it's for hardcore coomers only. Lots of dialogue, some obscure gameplay system where you go to this room to move things around every five mins. I went to town, sharpened my sword, and the day ended. Like what is with all the back and forth, it's annoying. I guess the art is great, i didn't really see anything between mashing through pages of story and trying to figure out wth is going on with the gameplay. Like i fought 3 fights and ran out of health, died, and went to the next day. Damn.

This game is in my opinion, one of the best on the site.
I really like the slow corruption of Aura and the whole story behind it.
The dev takes this project serious and is working hard on it
And the art is pretty good, i prefer 2d over 3d.

I'm always to lazy to write a whole review.
Maybe i write one later, if the game is finished.

Writing in this game is very good. The characters are also not dumb which makes this one unique. The only big issue I can see is that the game is very slow but I actually like this game even more because of this but I understand if someone doesn't like the pace.

And walkthrough is recommended as the game doesn't guide you properly and is easy to get lost.

v0.29
- Cliche story with good writing.
- Writing is good but there is so much text, you'll be skipping most. Characters just talk too much.
- Towards the end of the current version, there are lots of scenes without any visuals and just text.
- - Game is way too hard and strict, it's really hard to play on normal difficulty without depending on the walkthrough(which I didn't and ended up switching to story difficulty.
- Scenes are not great, but the strong character writing makes up for that mostly. - Everything is limited, including your time. It was good until I come to point where I couldn't go forward no matter what I do. Shops having limited amount of everything doesn't make sense, earning money is useless if I can't buy anything.
- Corrupt route is hardest thing I guess, since there is so much debuff on you, you either switch to story difficulty or start a new game.
- After you are more or less done with the first parts of the game, it starts to feel empty. Your actions are way too limited, which balances the part which limits your time, but I would like to enjoy freedom and be a try hard if I wanted to commit myself, rather than being forced to commit myself and a huge amount of time.

All things considered, besides high quality writing and decent visuals(though I think lack of scenes is a huge flaw in that aspect), this game is hard to enjoy. It takes too much time and porn part feels like an extra, rather than the main focus. At some point, this game feels like it's not sure if it's trying to be a corruption game or not, having a strong willed main character and feels like a cheesy way to do it. It feels forced into the story.

This isn't a game for you if you are here for a quick fun, this is long, grindy, tedious kind of fun(if you can enjoy that). While story is decent and writing is good, h-scenes definitely fall short(especially towards the end). While I enjoyed my time at the beginning, after I'm done it doesn't feel like it was worth putting so much time into this.

Too much text. I get it was a slow pace corruption but having to read too much is too boring. There is no freedom in this game, you have to either unlock new location by having to complete quest, which there is no indicator to which quest, no clue where to go find the quest. If people just want to get to H-scene I don't recommend it, you won't get quick fap.

When the game need a guide so you can unlock all the lewd scene might as well make it a linear story telling instead of needing to follow the guide from this front page of the game. Make it linear make us follow the story instead of searching for it, even when you search for it if you don't follow proper step you will miss some story/scene. Following a guide need to be precise otherwise you will get confuse and lost couple of scene.

It is one of the best games I've played.
It has a very interesting and engaging corruption mechanism.
The dailogues are good and also the art is very erotic.
I've been following the Max Lewdness playthrough, and it feels awesome.
There is a lot of quests and lewd content in this game, and the update cycle is after every 2 weeks so I'll definitely recommend this.
This game is for people who are interested in a good story and want to have a good fap while enjoying it.
So definitely a W for me!
