Knights of Messiah IF: Castle in an Alternate Dimension

The worst game from Circle Gyu.There is no standard erotic status window.The heroines are abducted and forced into slavery.In a good ending, there is no sex with the main character.The only thing that may seem like a plus is that the store's assortment is open immediately, rather than being replaced with higher-quality items when every fifth level is reached.There are also quite cheap items to increase stats for always.Well, the game itself has become much easier and faster to play.BUT THIS IS NOT A SINGLE GAME.IT'S A FUCKING DLС.WHICH IS SERVED AS A SEPARATE GAME.Well, in my opinion, the scenes have become worse.You'd better come through Using Knights Of Messiah is better than playing this shit.

This game is possibly the weakest/worst when it comes to the Game franchise of Gyu games (all of the games are connected lore wise). Positives: Game is not as BUGGY as other games in the series. I finished the game and there is almost no bugs which may make this the most "polished game" in the series. Story is connected to the whole series (this is not just an alternative IF scenario, although the IF scenario is the sex slave route the "true route" is the "avoid route". Negatives: Translation is kind of subpar. It is legible for English readers but there are some inconsistent translation issues (Rani in some games is translated as Lani here, Ceres is Celes, etc.) word wrap issues . Story is inconsistent at times (the main true route is the avoid route, yet the NPC dialogues all act as if what's happening is the sex slave route). In short the plot may not make "sense" (poorly written). The dev did state that he always viewed the H scenes in his games as what if scenarios/alternate timeline rather than being a cohesive story as a whole with the main story. The canon story could just be summarized into a few sentences and the necessity of this game would be null (but a CG collecthaton) Gameplay is meh, classic RPGM combat with barely a thought put into it. 2 Characters are okay, one is the stronger party member, one is optional and may join sometimes that is kinda decent (when recruited). I've managed to easily win all the battles not including the final boss which is just a MASSIVE stat check. The boss has a move that for some reason just deals a shit ton of damage (I need higher stats despite having the best in slot gear at the time and easily dunking on 99.9% of the enemis and bosses). I ended up just save editing my stats to high degrees and nuking that poorly balanced boss to oblivion. There are 2 routes: Sex slave route and Avoid route. 99% of the game is written as if the sex slave route is the canon thing that happens, yet the avoid route is what ends up being canon. The game should have been more consistent in its writing and if you are on avoid route, the NPCs and characters should react as if you are on avoid route. CG quantity is decent. The quality may vary depending on your specific kinks. The series may be "more hardcore" compared to normal games in the genre when it comes to the tags. Also the art quality may be decreasing with each new game in the series (the standing art is great but when it comes to the H scenes the art suddenly takes a huge nosedive). Game is just going to point A to point B, there is BARELY TO NONE thought given to map/environment design. It all looks generic and just placed like a rat maze. Go to point A to B 5 times, fight boss. Get into the hidden town, go to the enemy's castle. Go towards his secret bunker and fight him finally. The engine is modified RPGM (not sure) which makes it so that the quick restart option (f5 or f12 sometimes) does not work, the game has no option in game to load save files (you can load in the main menu but once you are in the game itself there is only save button) which can be tedious. TLDR : Unlock the CG if the kinks are to your liking. DO NOT play this game as it's a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME.
