Dead End Colosseum

This would be pretty good game, if not for insane amount of text it wants you to read, so I just skipped everything. I am not even sure what is the plot about and I finished the game with true ending. Gameplay is decent, you do jobs to earn money and reduce crime, but there is also option to let customers harass you, that helps level up lewdness for unlocking prostitution. You can also hang out with one of your friends, which unlocks scenes. Combat is pretty good, rock-paper-scissors type, but you can unlock new skill for each type, although honestly stating skills are more than enough if you just upgrade them.

The writer of this game desperately needed an editor. I felt like all the text went on for literally 3-4 times as long as it needed to. Every single little detail fully explained with long dialogue sequences. The game itself is decent, but I think these kind of trainer games are fun when you get into a bit of a flow state, just enjoying the world and the process of interacting with the UI. Not here. It took over an hour to get through what is effectively the tutorial at which point I'd lost all interest in the characters or the world. Usually lewd games get more slack than more professional games here because they're keeping your hornybrain engaged even if the writing isn't top-tier. But that whole time there were zero scenes, and only the very opening of the game even had anything suggestive. So the first 90 minutes at least is pretty much just a mid trainer game with terrible, overindulgent writing. The combat was interesting enough (hence the three stars) but yeah... can't recommend this.

The porn? yeah who gives a damn. The combat though, is really fun. Managing your money and stats with the same jobs was great. being a hoe only effects how much time you will waste before being able to get the whoring job that gives 1,800. the most money you can make in the game without fighting. If you don't wanna whore go to the underground ring but thats rng

Story is okay and gameplay is a slow RPG rock-paper-scissors gameplay. This game is a trainer with some combat. I would recommend a playthrough but not fully completing the game. The gameplay loop wasn't too satisfying for me.

Don't let the RPGM tag fool you, it's a visual novel / trainer game. Combat albeit somewhat engaging and novel is almost nonexistent, there are only ~7 combat encounters in the whole game, and you get insanely op from non-combat events very fast, so that side of the game goes out the window. On the other hand the amount of lore dumping that leads nowhere is absurd and all the scenes are just generic faceless male gangbang/rapes. Overall not the greatest execution but the short length and decent artstyle makes up for it.

I'm surprised this game didn't get at least 4 stars. My personal rating is 4.5 First of all getting the first ending took me 1 hour and 31 minutes during my first run I got all the shop items, all the weapons, raised my stats so high I could 2 turn last 3 bosses, raised my lewdness to only 61 because I wanted to keep security high, maxed out passives and 3 skills. Its easy to say that this is not a hard game as you can easily get very strong while also not having any problems with the games other mechanics. This game was a solid 5 star in terms of gameplay. 1.Combat is designed well although the enemies are rather weak it was still very fun. 2.stat and money grinding is very easy does not need micro management to get them. 3.Grind isn't mundane as you don't spam the same things, you will do the same action at most twice in a row which is around 20 seconds at best. 4.Animations makes the combat pleasant to look at and feels smoother. Story is a solid 4 stars 1. The writing is good not a masterpiece but it had an actual enjoyable story 2.During certain scenes you have to make the correct choices to convince the enemy since being successful gives bonus prizes it felt like a good mechanic. 3.Characters were nice and unique enough Other people complained that the MTL ruined the reading experience but it seems like the game got a proper translation by DazedAnon and O&M its perfectly readable now many thanks for the translation. Art wise I really liked it was kinda unique and pleasant I don't mind giving the art 5 stars Well all is good but I should write some bad sides of the game. 1. not enough fights yes I know you can fight enemies by using the battle button but its just not worth it as the money gain is low and it reduces public security. 2.personally I didn't mind it the slightest but there is a lack of cg for the first 3 chapters as you get your first proper cg after defeating the robot(unless you are getting defeated purposely) 3.Guns are just upgrades not even a real issue but if guns had special passives or different main stats it could be more fun . 4.Certain stuff like training or rest has no use they are not worth it rather than training just do work and rather than sleep use items. 5. I think an infinite or sandbox mode after the first ending could be nice not really needed though 6.Getting scenes can get very tedious for some of them. Well I wanted to point out some bad sides but the game really doesn't have any major issues so give it a try. VERY IMPORTANT IN THE MAIN MENU PRESS THE FIRST D LETTER UNTIL THE SCREEN FLASHES TO OPEN THE FULL GALLERY Some tips for gameplay don't look if you can spend 3 braincells because game is very easy 1.Use the play action to spend time with your friends to unlock events and very good buffs. Rury is the most important if you ask me as she gives more stats and money when you work. 2.Don't train or sleep buy items to keep health up and training is not cost efficient you will get more than enough stats by working (eve boost item recovery) 3.Evasion stamina and defense is not needed attack hit and intuition is important You won't get hit once during combat if you can spend 5 braincells raising mostly attack hit and intuition means you can see most attacks and when you need to hit you hit hard enough to at most 4 turn any boss (2 turns if you had a good run) You can still do stamina or defense but I think evasion is very trash. 4.Raising public order high will give a new item whenever you buy the previous one from eve's shop some of them are good but they are not needed at all if you have good stats. 5.From the gun shop skip the desert raptor and buy the elephant gun 6.Unlock the passive skills tp regen and cost recovery they are very good when leveled up (do it around mid game) for early game just max out rapid fire and standby no other skill needed. and rebbeka bond is very huge buff so do it early for better combat.

Probably one of the most underrated games on this website. It is extremely well made and polished, has multiple unique mechanics, and definitively plays like a real game, not just an h-game gallery with game afterthoughts. The H-scenes are all pretty well made as well, and I liked the custom training mechanic for when you lose, would've preferred it if there were a bit more variation between the different losses though. The plot is surprisingly intricate, though there is a lot of reading for you to do, especially in the middle section. I actually really enjoyed it, and don't suggest you to skip it at all. That being said, weirdly enough, the game is kinda political, it leans a bit center-left but is explicitly anti-technocratic. I know, really fucking weird for me to say this in an H-game review, but that's the case. I disliked the random social/political monologues that the author went on twice during the game. The only issues I can find is a bug with affection that can make it go above 100, the fact that when you roll over to NG+ some shop items are lost forever if you didn't buy them, and some pronoun issues with the translation. Have no clue what the people bitching about translation are talking about, other than minor pronoun issues I couldn't even tell this was MTL.

The game is Ok, it has interesting gameplay but the game overall is severely held back by the lack of cgs and scenes, most you won't even see if you don't trigger them. The end result is a game that has interesting gameplay that leads to nowhere. It also has the problem of other small games where the limited amount of scenes are often not used to further the game making the above mentioned problem worse. In conclusion I would say the game is pretty forgettable with little to do inside it.

Overall 7/10 A solid h-game with solid gameplay It isn't an experience I will be repeating but it was definitely worthwhile playing once The gameplay is decent enough, not good enough to carry itself without the h-content as reward for your progress but not bad either that it hampers the experience. More in-depth combat system than most RPGM games out there have but at the same time not good enough that you will find yourself playing it just for the combat The story is not interesting and I quickly found myself skipping all the dialogue. Just a lot of waffling that had nothing much of interest there partially it is because right from the start the premise is very superficial and more like a porn flick than a game The h-content is not super high quality in terms of its visual style and design but what adds a lot of value here is that most h-scenes are animated. The downside though is that in general most the h-scenes feel the same and look very similar. Basically the protagonist being gang raped. There are a few consensual scenes but the bulk of the scenes are game over rape and the bulk of these is just the protagonist getting gangbanged So while each h-scene is technically unique it doesn't feel super unique. I would recommend to first start playing the game but if you quickly find yourself getting bored. Go to the main menu and keep clicking on the first letter "D" in the main menu after 10 clicks this unlocks the full gallery. All scenes in the game are in the gallery. There is no combat sex mechanics. Just the few event scenes and the game over rapes I also don't quite get the point of the whole slave mini-game. Even the devs realised it was a bit pointless as they even added a development skip tool built into it so the devs themselves quickly realised the slave mini-game just didn't work but still kept it in the game lol All those h-scenes from the various slave routes also are available in the gallery

Very engaging battle system and decent porn combined with training/corruption mechanics. There seems to be some solid writing too but a lot of it is lost in the MTL(which is, on the whole,. fairly legible outside of the usual issues with being unable to determine pronouns but falls apart in places where the high-concept plot points start showing up). The live 2D is pretty nice too. Overall there's much worse ways to kill an afternoon.

Gave this game a shot because the MC is pretty hot and the art looks nice plus the mechanics seemed unique and interesting. After about 2 hours in I just couldn't bring myself to continue. The characters never stfu and let us play the damn game. This is made worse by a terrible translation (worse than usual although that may be because the text is seemingly never ending). There was basically no lewd scenes (I heard you get some on defeat but I was so busy skipping text I couldn't even get far enough in combat to be defeated). The combat was clunky and not all that fun. Just overall poorly executed which is a shame given there seems to be a lot of work put into the art and story.

MTL IS HORRENDOUS, Like it not even worth it to follow the plot of the story, but everything else is actually pretty good. The gameplay is pretty unique of it self, you don't just go out in the game world and manually do everything it just following days by days. highly recommended if you want to play something chill.

I actually really enjoyed the premise, characters, and gameplay. The issue I had was with the MTL. Usually I would not dock so many points off for MTL, but this game specifically has a lot of dialogue. It can be skimmed over fairly easily but man does raw unedited MTL makes direct dialogue kind of miserable. The CGs have perfectly fine translations though (priorities lmao). Tips: Public Order doesn't matter at all, the battle system is a waste of time and makes days drag on and on (unless you're hunting hscenes). The 50% burst move that spends all your action points hits once per consumed point, which makes it very good for stunning. Scenes: Save scum negotiation segments, you need to "fail spectacularly" to get a scene. Reload save and perfect it (with an S). Save scum all the colosseum fights too (obviously).

Grind those balls ! Got you attention ? good. This game requires a "lot" of grinding. It can easily be beaten within 2 hours so yhea. I dont hate the grinding for the reason that its easy, and isnt frustrating to deal with. Gameplay: 4.85/5 The combat system is very unique and creative. I really love this as this as this makes the gameplay actually intriguing instead of plain old boring combat of usual which act as a gate to Hscenes. This is fun. I like the interrogation minigame but the mtl makes it unbelievably hard which is why this turns into a gamble rather than pay attention and use brain. It would be a 4.9/5 if it wernt for the MTL. Why not a 5 then ? Well the game should have been longer and had for fights and unique side quests. Love that one could CHOOSE to spend time with characters for more development. Hentai: 3/5 This is much less a hentai game it has a average amounts of CG. Needing to get true end for gallery is frustrating as there are no hints and due to the MTL. Like the slave system. But yhea thats it. No animations, no unique stuff.

Gameplay Time: 4 hours Spoiler: Gameplay - This remind me a lot of "The girl in the red slave collar" game where quota is a thingy, training your protag is your objective. - Rock, paper scissor is just a simple explanation, but in reality is just an effective strategy for player to fight in battle optimally. - Debate minigame is frustating to play, mainly the mtl is still has alot of weird dialogue and answer. - It might be very tough to play on start, there is no new game+ until you beat the whole game, but not just one ending, there's true end to beat. It's not spoiler since the game mention it at the last chapter route decision. - Slave mode also interesting at first since it portrait the bad end aftermath. - The storyline is pretty novel, it might be actually a good masterpiece if is not MTL. Spoiler: H-Scene - Number of CG as per usual - L2D with interaction gallery, several of them unique. - Only pregnant on context, birth is the same. - There is no bestiality or monster sex. - NPC does not have animated H-scene, still has CG but not much. - No battlefuck. Spoiler: Conclusion It's an awesome game to play with, sadly story pretty butchered with the how the translation end up (still kudo to the translator).

It's a raising sim style RPG where you gotta raise your stats, earn money, and manage HP/stamina to prepare yourself for the next big fight. Along the way you can use the money you earn to improve your equipment and skills to get the edge in combat. Combat itself plays out in a fairly unique 1-on-1 dueling system. Your actions are divided into attack, defend, and rest actions, which have a rock-paper-scissors dynamic between each other. The twist is that you don't always know what your opponent is gonna do, but as you fight your character might be able to predict more actions based on how high her Int stat is. Over time you build up TP which can be used to super charge your attacks or enter a powered up mode. Bust through your opponent's defenses enough and they'll enter a Break state. People who've played Octopath Traveler might be familiar with this type of system. The sim elements are fairly simple. You have a calendar and typically 20 days between matches, and you spend these days either working, playing training, or resting. You can also participate in a series of duels that can earn you more and more money at the risk of fighting incredibly powerful opponents. All of these activities are also bound to the town's safety rating. The more jobs you do, the safer the town becomes, which means the stores will have more items in stock. Neglect your jobs too much and you might find yourself low on recovery items that help you keep going without needing to stop and rest. Eventually you'll be able to start doing lewd jobs and allowing yourself to get sexually harassed doing other jobs. Getting harassed raises your lewdness, which eventually unlocks more lewd job opportunities as well as adding H scenes to the other jobs. While we're on the subject of H, besides getting H scenes tied to your lewdness the other way of getting H scenes is through game over. Because of "the rules", losers in tournaments forfeit their rights to the winner so losing a match makes you your opponent's slave. This puts you in a sex slave mode where you have to pleasure customers for a number of days. And thankfully this mode can be accessed from the main menu even if you beat your opponent if you want to mess around with it. Another source of H scenes are the 5 side characters you can raise relations with through the Play activity. Besides getting some nice bonuses you also get some H scenes at the end of each storyline. If there's one major flaw I had to point out, it's that this game is so needlessly wordy. The dialogue is dense, and unfortunately some shabby MTL makes the experience worse. Thankfully you can just speed through the dialogue with ctrl and if you probably aren't missing anything important aside from the red text you can scroll back up to read. The game is simple yet novel with some nicely drawn CG. Aside from the wordiness I found a lot of enjoyment. Generally I found the game not terribly difficult as long as you're diligent with your jobs and you abuse the super mode in combat, at least playing on normal.

Honestly, it's a little hard to give this 4 stars in its current state, but there's just so much text that AI translation is the best we're gonna get and the game is a fresh enough usage of RPGM features that I'll give it +1 star for that. Gameplay/Mechanics: 3+1 star for a unique blending of styles for a total of 4/5 stars Fairly unique RPGM that makes use of a nifty rock-paper-scissors style gun duel, timed debates during story progression to get info and bonus stats, and management game. While I like the take on combat, I think the game would benefit more from it being faster paced battles. You load your 6 "shots" into your gun, then start the round. While most combat ends in 3-5 rounds, every round can take a while. I feel like it'd be better for the weaker foes to be feasible to drop in 1 round in the Battle option. Additionally, the animations are nice for a while, but they get old fast. An option for turning off animations would be nice imo. Lastly, while you can build your skills and specialize as you please...they don't add a whole lot to the fight dynamics. Neat, but a bit underwhelming. Regarding the debates, I feel it would benefit from having a setting in the options to turn off the timer. I like it, but it's probably not everyone's cup of tea, and the translation on this game is subpar compared to a lot of Dazed's other AI translations. But there's not much that can be done about that given how much text there is. Story: 3 to 4/5 stars. Honestly, if the translation could be improved, it might even be worth 5 stars. But you gotta do a bit of self-correction of the text which slows it down a lot. And there is a LOT of text. So having to proof-read and edit the text in your mind as you read detracts a lot from it. There's notes in the translation notes text file regarding the work, and it's just an unfortunate artifact of the game being large, complex, and unlikely to be able to get the TLC it'd need to round off the rough edges. Art: 3/5 stars It's a little forgettable simply because it's interspersed by a lot of text and a lot of management and a lot of fighting and nothing particularly amazing. probably 4/5 in a more compact story, but it's a bit underwhelming all things considered. Also doesn't help that a lot of it is only accessible by losing fights/exiting the game to view the Game-Over-Rape from the recollection after winning the fight and I'm personally not inclined towards games that require you to lose to see a lot of the H-content. Overall, this game is definitely worth checking out. Sounds like some people have issues with it running smoothly but I didn't even notice any of that till going back to the thread to write this review. Easily 3/5 stars assuming it runs fine, and I'd say it'd probably be an easy 4/5 stars if the translation could be improved. It's a rough gem of a game with it's own unique feeling style.

TLDR: Good alternatives to the 999 RPGM with cookie cutter gameplay and 9999 VN out there. It's a game you can actually play, and has some OK scenes in it. 4/5 Pros: Turn base rock-paper-sisscors gameplay. Easy to understand. Has different skills to create your build, though I wouldnt say most are game changing OK to decent scenes depend on what you look for. Mostly game-over scenes and the extended training scene after you lose, which is fairly unique out of all the h-games. Has voice sounds Cons: Can get grindy with both the scene hunt and the stat build up game loop Can be challenging if you decide to run on harder difficulties since this isnt a farm until end of world game. It's like any roguelike game where you have fixed number of stages to power up yourself before the boss. Personally I have no problem with it but its up to each person Scenes could be better & more varied. I wouldnt say the art style is the most polsihed, and they can benefit from more variation in kinks imo. As in terms of optimization, my laptop was able to run the game fine without much crashing, and no game breaking bug in my 2 playthroughs from what I can recall. Again, personal experience only so take it with grain of salt.

This should have been a 5/5, but goddamnit there's so many flaws in this game. First, the way the game runs. It has not one, not two, not three but FOUR processes used to control the main window where the game opens, and you get 40% cpu usage, and you get lag. I am not joking. Also, if you hold Ctrl too much you get infinitely repeating SFX audio in H-scenes, forcing you to restart the game.Also, if you accidentally press Z when your item inventory is empty, you get crashes. This is not acceptable for a Completed Full Release. Second, the gameplay. It may seem fun at first but actually, you are desperately fighting against the clock because you will be locked into a bossfight from which there is no escape literally, not even save scumming can help you, so you need to desperately farm up your attack power, health (which is actually stamina because fuck you) and hope that you can become strong enough to face the boss. If you could enjoy the different activities while farming up to prepare for the bossfight this would be okay, but they literally force you to go to the bossfight and you can't delay this at all. Next, the items and skills. Most of these are complete and utter trash, and since we are technically on a speedrun to the next boss here, wasting money can literally break your run and force you to restart. The only useful ones are - health and motivation consumables, the skill upgrades from the 0 stamina bullet shooting attack and maybe the block, nothing else. The devs maybe intended for the players to try and find their own fighting style, but we are on a goddamn speedrun and unless we are perfectly optimized, you literally can't beat the bossfight and your run is over. Next, the combat. It is turn based rock-paper-scissors where you pick your moves and try to guess the enemy moves and act accordingly, if you don't guess correctly well you will probably take damage. The gameplay is ok assuming that you have invested your money into damage health and aim, otherwise you will have a bad time. The good combat is the only reason I rate this at least 2 stars. Next, the story. So, I held CTRL most of the time because I don't have time to read AI translated gibberish, roughly, you are an anime girl in the wild west armed with dual pistols, the city sheriff is an idiot who doesn't invest in a police force and so the city is infested with crime. Your task is to do police patrol, or escorting VIP-s to safety, or other good tasks to improve the safety of the city. With these tasks you improve your own stats gradually. When you do that, you can spend your time in side activities like, romancing the side characters who own the shops, spending loads of cash for training, but as you avoid being on patrol, the city chaos increases and eventually you will be forced to go back to your patrolling and guarding and so on. There's opportunities to be a prostitute to farm larger money rewards, but the city chaos will increase. You can play through the entire game without getting harrassed or violated in H-scenes. Next, the H-scenes. You think grinding the prostitution tasks is worth it for the porn? For the money? Nope, not at all. You think beating the game unlocks the gallery? Nope. You think the H-scenes can be obtained easily after you beat the game? Nope, it's an absurdly tedious grind, so don't bother. There's many harrasment scenes while doing tasks, there's a very small number of prostitution scenes, the main H-scene focus is for the game-over extended scenes where you are captured and agressively abused by perverted bandits because you lost to the bossfights. Once you go there, you only options are very messed up and perverted - you let the bandits abuse you and reach a 100% submission rating (it takes literally ages, please for the love of god edit the corruption gain rate in the settings to get this over with faster if you are here to watch the porn) , thus leading you to a final game over H-scene. And as I mentioned earlier, you can't unlock the gallery, unless you drop a save file.Oh and remember those romance scenes I mentioned? If you even attempt to do these, well you won't be able to beat the boss and gg your run is over. So, is this worth playing? Well, for the unique combat yes, for everything else, no.

Very polished break from generic rpg maker scene collector spam. CORE GAMEPLAY The MC has to fight in the DEAD END COLOSSEUM for reasons. The battles utilize a rock paper sicsor system with Attack Defend and Rest type skills. You can spend TP to boost these skills. Outcomes are determined by Stat contests: Atk v Def Hit v Eva, ect STATS you raise these stats via working/ training. These actions take stamina/ willpower. Attempt them while being low on such and the action can fail. You recover stamina by resting and willpower thru socializing. SOCIAL the game has 5 companions you can increase relationships with for buffs and scenes. H SCENES This is what knocks off a star. While working you can turn on harassment to increase lewd. More lewd, different variation of scene. The problem is that a lot of these are shared assets. This continues all the way thru customer service into prostitution that has a SINGLE repeating scene. The majority of the H content comes from losing LOSE TO SLAVE for each opponent if you lose you become their slave and proceed to be trained. Once again a lot of shared assets with different costumes during said training but at the end is a full animated scene. If you don't want the tedium of losing on purpose, you can play each slave route from the title screen after beating their respective arena opponent TLDR Good quality scenes while slightly lacking in quantity during a decent resource management gameplay loop while avoiding generic rpgm combat: Worth playing
