CIELCROSIA ~Seal of the Lewd Curse~

This is a very short game, taking around 2-or-so hours to beat. Otherwise, nothing about this title really excels nor fails. The art is cute but there's not a lot of variety. The corruption is done VERY quick, but it's just as simple to remove. There's a New Game Plus which gives the player items to adjust their corruption willy-nilly and to beat all enemies instantly. The only reason I'm not giving this a 2 is because the character is nicely sexy and the translation is really good. There was one instance where an enemy MIGHT have been named "Oak" instead of "Ork" but the enemy design was decidedly tree-like so that might have been a pun instead. +It's short! +Just normal playthrough I beat the game at level 16 +Great art +Great translation -The corruption system is rather poor -Not a lot of variety in porn -Standard Japanese censorship -Base barebones RPGMaker combat - the game is so short that it doesn't get a chance to become TOO annoying, however.

Translation is good, good job on the translator. Appart from that, the game is an extremely generic RPGM. Combat is a grind and uninteresting, but so are others RPGM game. (There isn't anything new, no fancy combos or effects, just the standard rpgm stuff) Lewd event are generic, although CGs are animated, not well, but they are animated. Story is non-existent, well, you read the Overview, that's it. That's all there is. no clothing system, no work system (well, you can work at the brothel but it's basically just an animation, no mini-game). Equipment is generic. Like the game doesn't do anything terribly bad, like the combat is shit, but if you've dealt with any other RPGM game, you wouldn't have expected any different. It just feels like a template game. Something you show as an example of what is possible with the engine, or what serves as the backbone of a better game. If you can't find another game to play, sure go ahead, if you have any other options, maybe put this one in the 'bottom of the barrel' for later. 2 stars, because it doesn't actually actively fail at anything apart from the combat, mostly because they haven't tried anything.
