Rhya's Crusade is an adult side-scroller made by blackfortressgames with Unity. It uses a 2D animated style with a retro NES/Famicom look, while adding modern physics and dynamic lighting. You play Rhya, a female protagonist fighting through levels against the Aradia's Reavers, a sex-crazed enemy group. The gameplay is action-focused and challenging, and her clothing tears as she takes damage, exposing her to lewd enemy glares. It mixes sci-fi settings and monster girl themes.
The listed version is v1.2, dated May 20, 2025. It runs on Windows in English and is uncensored. The latest changelog entry is v1.2.7, indicating ongoing development. That update makes checkpoints restore health, adds an alarm that sounds when Rhya approaches a Beacon, and gives each Beacon its own range. It also adds HP Box modules in several levels, places danger signs near bottomless pits, removes a shield between two enemies in Level 2, adds an MG module in Level 3, and lowers the health of several bosses.

First of all, the porn in this game, while decent-looking, is not enjoyable (damn shame, since I like sprite artwork). Most of the scenes are just extra HCGs that you won't even see during the gameplay itself. Even the animated…

So, they went a head and made the gameplay just like Metal Slug, which means, you have 1 hp and anything you get hit by you instantly die. So, unless you are a masochist with like, 10 years of metal…
