War here is just the excuse. What this game really wants is to throw one confused young guy into a burning kingdom full of horny monsters, scheming nobles and gods that treat mortals like chew toys. You start as this orphan with nothing, not even a proper place to sleep, and five minutes later you are already eye level with a slime girlโs tits while she offers to โprotectโ you in exchange for a taste. Not exactly noble destiny stuff. The whole fantasy setting has that slightly dirty feeling, like the world is old and tired and ready to sell its soul for one more night of pleasure. Castles crumble, temples burn, and every faction still has time to try to get into your pants, or into your mind, or both. Half the time I forgot there is a war going on because I was stuck choosing between saving a village or letting it fall so I could take the corrupted priestess home and see what she can do with her tongue.
What works stupidly well is how the corruption is slow and sticky. The game doesnโt push you with โgood/evilโ big buttons. Instead you make a small choice in a turn based fight, like using a forbidden spell on a monster girl instead of killing her normally, and then later she appears in your camp, kneeling, calling you โmy kingโ while licking blood from your blade. You think โok thatโs hot but maybe too muchโ and two scenes later you are ordering a captured angel to clean your cock with her mouth while your monster waifu watches and smiles. Then sometimes the game pretends to be romantic and suddenly gives you a quiet moment. Sitting by the ruined fountain, your favorite monster girl resting her head on your lap, talking about how she used to eat travelers whole and now she just wants to be the only one warming your bed. It feels almost sweet. Kind of. Until she asks if she can keep the next girl you defeat as a pet. Anyway, the animations sell it hard. Bodies move, hips grind, mouths stretch around you, and there is this satisfying weight in every thrust when you finally fuck your way through a boss that gave you trouble in combat. The way some scenes shift based on how corrupted you are is honestly impressive, even though sometimes the faces look a bit off and I ended up laughing right in the middle of a pretty intense blowjob. The romance side is there, but the game never pretends it is pure. Even the โgoodโ path has you doing oral on a monster princess in a ruined chapel while she whispers she wants you to rule forever, no matter how many souls it costs. I opened the game thinking Iโd play a heroic monarch, closed it after making a pact with a goddess who slides into my dreams like a horny Discord notification, and somehow that felt like the most honest version of this world.
