The Harem Life of Peerless Swordsmen is the third fantasy rpg from this dev. Is it the best yet, is it worth trying?
The story places you in the role of an adventurer training in a forest. Random interruption during training from a random magical being results in a teleport to a city with a mission of finding a magical artifact. All, rushed and poorly executed. In the new city you seek information and support yourself by taking missions from a guild. Along the way, you meet random women who instantly fall in love with you and join your team; and thus the harem is born. Missions, sleeping, more missions, more sleeping and then the game is over. It is not a very long or complex title indeed. It is possibly the weakest out of all three games from this dev yet. There is only one but somewhat bigger city (in comparison to the previous titles) and less but slightly longer dungeons. Dungeons are are partly recycled from the previous games but there are some new ones as well; all simple and unimaginative, though.
Not only dungeons are recycled, but also one of the female characters (art) and most skills were copied as well.
Crafting system was pretty much copied from the first game here (Adventure Road). However, unlike before, here is is harder to afford all upgrades since you won't have enough gold without additional grinding.
Just like before, english translation sucks. It is intelligible enough to understand the simple story but still a pain to read. At least there is only one ending and no replay value. If I had no awareness of the previous rpgs from this dev, my opinion would be different but as it is, I can easily see the lack of effort to make siginificant improvements. I sure expected more since it is the 3rd rpg already.
Art is fairly good for the price asked. Nice character pictures and pixel art but sprites have only few poses. Also, art of one of the heroines (and hscenes) was simply recycled from one of the previous games. Hscenes are all vanilla but there is more of them now, and not only with teammates. Unlike in the previous titles, all scenes have mosaic censorship here. Lack of effort, again.
Music is of the generic kind. Some tracks were recycled from the previous games as well. At least all fit the theme ok. For a budget title it's good enough, I guess.
No bugs encountered.
Overall, among the budget rpgs with bad translation from this dev, this one sucks the most. Less of everything, weakest story, mosaics, and a lot of recycling. I sure expected better from the 3rd game. Not recommended: 3.8/10
