Blood price

[h1]Had potential, but ultimately falls flat.[/h1] Blood Price is a short, below-average RPG originally from 2016. It’s not awful, but it’s definitely not good either, just… ok. It looks promising at first glance: decent art, vampire MC, a light corruption mechanic. But it quickly becomes clear the game is rough around the edges, underdeveloped, and doesn’t live up to its potential. The gameplay is your typical turn-based fare. It works, it’s balanced enough, and it can even be challenging if you avoid abusing the casino buffs. The party system is passable, but nothing really stands out. Boss difficulty spikes may force grinding unless you cheese your way through, but it’s playable and has a few decent encounters. As for the H-content, it’s mostly defeat-based and feels completely irrelevant to the plot. It adds nothing emotionally or mechanically. There’s no payoff for staying pure or going corrupt. The “breeding system” is barely functional, and you’ll just stick to using the main party anyway. Honestly, the game could’ve skipped the adult content entirely and wouldn’t have lost anything. It doesn’t feel like a proper H-RPG, more akin to a regular RPG with some lewd scenes slapped on as an afterthought. The story is a classic revenge + resistance setup, and while that could’ve worked, it’s badly developed. Pacing is off, world building is thin, and some plot points fall apart if you think about them. The villain completely wipes out the MC’s land forces at their peak but for some reason leaves a powerful corpse untouched, guarded by a single person for days or weeks? It doesn’t hold up. There was real potential to explore themes like sexual slavery, arena exploitation, or guinea pigs for horrible experiences, but they’re just touched upon and discarded with no depth. The translation is okay-ish. It’s much better than most early Wasabi releases and fully understandable, but still awkward in places, with clearly mistranslated lines here and there that occasionally break immersion. [h1]TL/DR:[/h1] I was unsure about choosing between a thumbs up and thumbs down, but while not terrible, it's just not good enough to recommend. Not worth full price. Not worth more than 2€ or if you’re collecting the dev’s catalog or you’re just curious about Wasabi’s early publishing picks. It’s better than most Wasabi-published games, but let’s be honest, that bar is already on the floor. Compared to other english publishers in the genre, this still falls flat. As an RPG it’s too bland, and as an H-game it adds next to nothing. [h1]External Patch Requirement:[/h1] 🔲 Yes. ✅ No.
