Etranger of The Ruined City

Story: 5/5 Classic Kujilab story, this time set after world collapse. The main story itself isn't that compelling, but the various characters and consistent worldbuilding make up for it. The True ending is a great addition to the overarching plot of the series. Art: 4/5 It has the best h-scenes of the series, with a lot more scenes compared to earlier games. It has a good artstyle for the pictures, and despite being made in RPGM, it doesn't use the generic template. Gameplay: 5/5 As a puzzle game enjoyer, the dungeons are great: especially hard mode, if you want a fun but even greater challenge. Overall: 4.67/5 Ngl I would recommend playing the previous games, as the story is what carries the series. Still, it's a pretty fun game, and imo, it's tied with Zerachiel for best Kujilab game. It beats Strongest Angel Zerachiel in every aspect except story and music.

Pretty fun strategy puzzle gameplay! The story was pretty interesting too. I also enjoyedthevariety in music which was refreshing. The h scene art is pretty solid though I think the corruption is kind of quick. I really liked the character design. A tiny nitpic is the lewd stat can halt your progress at times though I only had it happen once in a dungeon if it goes beyond 100 you must lower it to get the crystal. Items can deal with it so it is not major. If you are looking for a fun rpg I recommend it.

if you want to play a game focused on cards/numbers and clearing dungeon puzzles this is for you. hard to tell this game is a puzzle game disguised as an h-game until you get about 20-30+ mins in and realize there's little to no h-content accessible while playing (maybe there's nice art/cg's hidden in the game files or when you complete the game) but yea don't let the blue catgirl or other arts fool you. your clothes get damaged while completing dungeons and that's the highlight, all the other major art you see is probably after completing long/tedious dungeon puzzle stuff. stay away if not interested in card/puzzle games

A very bizarre game. I saw this was inspired by the dungeon of lulu games and I expected more of the same. The difference is that instead of one long running dungeon where every choice matters, this game is broken into bite sized chunks where every new dungeon resets your progress. While this eases any potential time wastes from mistakes, it makes the dungeons piss easy for veteran players. Hard mode gives a decent challenge, but you're forced to unlock it by beating each dungeon on easy mode first, which needlessly bloats the game time. My biggest gripe is that the dungeons and gameplay simply do not matter. There is no reward for getting a highscore, the currency you earn can't be spent on anything aside from a single quest where you need 1 million$. After you reach that goal, there is essentially no reason to full-clear dungeons, you can just cheese them with minimal effort or use the built in cheat function with no consequences. This is also one of those games where virgin runs are not possible as the true ending demands arbitrary sex scenes for plot reasons. tl;dr Puzzles and art were decent, everything else sucked. Just get a gallery savefile unless you really enjoy beating Tower of Magic puzzles just for the sake of it.

This was a strange thing to play. At first i was thinking "oh this is just another dungeon crawler" as i fnished the first four dungeons, expecting free roam afterwards. But i checked the recollection room and there's ALOT. So i got past it and then... The game just kept going and being a... an actually decent game? Someone took time and effort far beyond gooner to make this. The desert ruin legit made me stop playing for a moment and just admire the craft that went into this. The puzzles are actually FUN, mostly because once you're out of the first four, they do become more challenging, and the line between fucking up a puzzle and pure efficiency actually requires some thought. Then you add the art style which is actually quite well thought out, and the MUSIC. The music fits SO well, and you actually kinda get immersed. The H Content is pretty good, but the whole super cute lesbian forced scenes just... i dunno there's something weirdly creepy about them. Which i know sounds strange for an H Game but the rest is very easy to find. The game isn't necessarily hard or even 'easy', but instead it just requires a little thought into your decisions to maximize your efforts. Overall shockingly good game. H Content genuinely feels like a solid bonus

This was one of the most enjoyable and unique experiences I've had with RPGM games. I might be mistaken but there aren't a lot of RPGM games where combat is purely puzzles, at least that I can think of and where it feels as good as here. It's a dungeon crawler where you collect power-ups through the dungeon to beat enemies and the fights are automatic. I really enjoyed going for the highscores trying to minmax items spent and enemies defeated. The beautiful part is that if you do not enjoy it you don't have to do it at all, if you are not trying to maximize your highscore you can beat all of the dungeons pretty easily or you can even run through them with cheat mode and it doesn't hurt you in any way. There are also Hard mode variants of the dungeons that come with various challenges such as not using any items/skills and they really make you think really hard about the order of defeating enemies/opening doors and it's really fun even though I usually am not a fan of puzzles. Art in this game is also really good and h-scenes are very hot and there is a good amount of them. I don't quite like how some of the scenes are forced on you even if you don't want to see any but it's ok. Also, if you want to lower your lewdness you can just buy purification herb which lowers it, you can also get it in a dungeon. Story in this game is also enjoyable. I usually get annoyed playing kujilab games because the stories in their games are overly sweet to the point of giving you cavities and all of the problems are solved with the power of friendship and plot armor. But this game was actually a refreshing experience it that sense. Yes, there is still some power of friendship stuff but if actually feels nice and heartwarming instead of annoying and the ending feels good. TLDR: very fun puzzle dungeon crawling even if don't like puzzles and you can still skip all of them, awesome art and story with heartwarming ending

Felt like this rating is going to be a bit biased since I'm a bit of a sucker to magic tower games such as lulu farea and frel hades. In any case, the best way to enjoy this game is actually treat it like a normal game rather than a fullblown hentai, again, just like the two aforementioned games where the scenes acts as a reward. The translation is great as I can understand everything perfectly, don't let that edited mtl sign scares you Fuller breakthrough from here; first of all, its a puzzle game through and through BUT you're not forced to do it (with the exception of the tutorial dungeon) because you can just run every dungeon with cheat mode which makes you overpowered and able to open every doors with the only penalty being your score is always set to 1, which doesn't even affect anything other than bragging rights. Yes, scenes increase your lewd stat and when said stat reaches 120-ish, you're forced to get a premature bad ending where the mc is just overtaken by pleasure, which after seeing it for the first time (although you need to redo the last dungeon you enter just for the item at the end of it, you can just use cheat mode since your previous score is already saved), you can resume your playthrough and the game even reduce the stat to 99, and even then, there's literally a merchant outside your base that sells purifying herb that can reduce the lewd stat by 30 which only cost you 10k gold, AND even then!, each and every dungeon after the first area will always have a chest that always contain a purifying herb. felt like the many complaints of a game over due to being too lewd is really exaggerated, it ain't that bad and makes sense if you think for a second of why that upper limit exists. anyway, I'm a bit indifferent about the scenes, its 40/60 yuri and non-yuri of which are high-quality images. The story too, I liked the ending (and only the true end bit lmao) but it doesn't really affect the scoring. the only thing I don't like is that one of the hscenes you can get in the last dungeon gets you an automatic game over, in turn, makes you redo the dungeon, although you get it at the early part of the dungeon, so not much redoing anyway. All in all, its a good magic tower game with good scenes (although half of it is yuri) and okay-ish story. 4 for the gameplay and 3 for the others (the hscenes lmao)

I didn't finish this game for the same reason I never finished persona 5: Scripted sequences and really, really boring dungeon crawling. Like other reviews mentioned, you go to dungeon, start with nothing, upgrade within the dungeon to lose your progress (and sanity) with the next. Not bad on paper, if it was traditional RPGMaker stuff. I say it like I am praising the basic RPGMaker combat, but despite this games combat being "different", it's the equivalent to those mobile game ads but you're also forced to open up the menu after every other fight to spam potions because that's fun. You collect power ups, potions, levels and bump into enemies. If you can win, you fight, if you would lose, you can only "escape" until you're strong enough. Skipping combat sequences alltogether which again, not bad on paper but it really does cheapen the entire experience. For H: I am not against lesbian scenes but I am against forced scenes. Those are forced, like it or not. I don't, because I hate forced content if it's not a VN, but even then I hate it. It's less about "I dont wanna see porn in my porn game" and more about "do I want to see THIS content and/or do I want the character I play progress in lewdness partially, fully or not at all and do I want it now or later?", or else there's a massive disconnect between what I, the player want and what the character I play as wants, making me not relate to them at all and thus potentially bored or frustrated with them. It's a shame, because both this and the game before this one (the witch titled one) initially seemed very passable. Though the constant forced shit down my throat with really poor gameplay (in terms of fun past the first 2 encounters or dungeons in this case), really drag it down for me. Granted, maybe not everything is forced scenes, but the fact that I am forced to sit through multiple lesbian scenes when I do not care about them or the characters, while being forced to crawl through 3+ dungeons to still not potentially get to the first non lesbian convenient and stupidly set up scene without the same braindead blind girl... I'm good. I am not desperate enough to suffer through, for me, slop before I get to the meat of what I came for. TLDR: "I don't like this dev and their choices in game design and player agency" would probably be the meat of that yapfest.

First of all I liked the art, there are some good moments, but it's only that I'm not into lesbian things, but the scenes with males were good, and I didn't finish this thing, I used cheats so I don't die of boredom, this is a NSFW game a porn game, why the hell would you put a bad ending by getting high lust, then finish one dungeon and have to start over, there's corruption but a little, it's pretty bad the system, and after the first part and like 1 hour of gameplay, I leave it cause it's just boring as hell impossible to play and complete a game like this

Started off as a good game, but got boring after a few hours. Gameplay-wise, it's similar to 'The Dungeon of Lulu Farea'. You walk around a dungeon exchanging blows with enemies similar in power to you, heal up using potions, gathering atk/def power-ups to fight stronger enemies. The difference here is that instead of one big dungeon, you have multiple smaller dungeons with your progress (LvL/stats) being reset between them Although each dungeon is unique, the reset of progress between them means that a lot of repetition occurs and exploration becomes boring after a while. As for the H-content, the game cover and description deceived me into believing that there would be a lot more Yuri/heartwarming content than there actually is. Playing this game for Yuri content is like playing an NTR-focused game for Vanilla content. (Maybe a bit exaggerated, but I feel betrayed so whatever) In reality, although each Heroine has give-or-take 5 events, only 1 or 2 at most are actual h-scenes, and only the pink catgirl and blue dragonlady have nice Yuri scenes. The elf and succubus scenes with the FMC are exhibition/prostitution. The majority of the game's scenes consist of rape/violation/humiliation of the FMC by monsters, dungeon traps, slum thugs, guards, etc. Overall, I think it's a decent game. Just don't go into it expecting much Yuri.

Hi, I am brazilian. So my review can have a poor english. This game theoretically deserves a 5. But unfortunately, it has a problem (in my opinion) that hurts it as a whole, lowering the score to 3. Let's start with the good points: - It has a good story - The female characters are charismatic, beautiful, and cute - The CGs are also of good quality In terms of gameplay, it's really very good. It's a Dungeon Crawler, with the collection of items specifically needed for that particular dungeon, only getting something related to the story at the end. And when you leave, you return to level 1. Games of this genre tend to consume a lot of time. I like Dungeon Crawlers, but you need to give up other things to finish them in a short period. But what helps a lot here are the battles, which are quick. They work like this: you collect orbs to strengthen DEF and ATK, and there's also a need for decent HP to defeat enemies, since they are automatic fights. Yes, battles are fought based on your HP + ATK and DEF calculations, which helps keep dungeons from taking too long, as games in this subgenre usually have turn-based combat or, in some cases, tactical RPGs. Oh, and it has plenty of cool puzzles too. The problem is: the porn. Which seems ironic, since the girls are hot, the CGs are beautiful too... Here, if you corrupt the main female protagonist a high number of times (I don't know the exact number, but it's over 100, maybe a little more, between 110 and 120 more or less), it automatically leads to the bad ending. Okay, the game gives you a second chance if this happens, as you have the option to restart before the last dungeon (or story action) with her corruption before 100. Usually, games with a bad ending based on corruption force you to start the game from begin. But even so, this is a problem. First, you waste a ton of time in the dungeon only to have to do it again. Second, this is a PORNOGRAPHIC game. Who in their right mind downloads a game with sex just to avoid sex scenes? "Ah, but it's possible to reduce her lust with items." First, the game doesn't warn you that a bad ending might occur. I was surprised when it happened to me. And second, is there any logic in corrupting her sexually while simultaneously purifying her with items? But I want to ask again: do you download a sex game to avoid having sex? Because that's what this game ( and others of this type) encourage. If I want to play a game without sex, I go to stores (or pirate sites, hehehe) and buy those games there. If I play a game with sex, it's to see the female characters get fucked. Story, good characters, good gameplay should be a BONUS in an Eroge, not the main thing. The focus of these types of games is on FAP FAP FAP. I loved this game, but I hate when Eroge games start the trend of having sex lead to a Bad Ending/Game Over. If I want puritanical games, I'll look elsewhere. Oh, and when I got a "bad ending" right in my face, it demotivated me from playing to the end. I got to the desert part of the game, which is one of the places to collect important items for the story. After that, I didn't want to continue, and in my opinion, a "bad ending" is considered finishing a game (it may not be the canonical ending, but it's still finished).
