Apostle: Rebellion

I never thought I'll ever touch a Kagura Game. Usually they publish low quality rpg maker games one after another trying to cash in as much as they can on our beloved eroge lover community , but this one has actual effort put in to it. Hell the eroge part is not even it's main focus, it takes time and progression to have your way with anyone. The things you need to know about the game: -Great music -Great animations -partial voice acting -Multiple difficulty settings -Good animations on your team (not so much on the enemy team sadly) -Story is decent. The protagonist is actually not a complete idiot this time too. -Every girl for some reason has gigantic boobs. So if you are not in to that, don't even bother. -The patch from Kaguras website is a MUST. Big chunk of the game is cut out without it. -Overall great production value for its asking price. Clearly a lot of work was put in to the game, unlike 95% of the other Kagura games. -You have the option to skip random battles with a press of a button. -You can go god mode if you don't wanna bother with the combat for some reason. -No corruption system or any kind of special kink support (aside from the huge boobs). This is a straight forward cyberpunk story with lots of VN style sex options. -Your choices are just set dressings, don't really matter much. Sadly the only thing that holds the game back, is the lack of controller support. Otherwise this would be a high recommendation from me.

I wish there was a neutral review, but I suppose I should justify why this is negative. First off, the game is a visual spectacle, it's incredible what they have done with RPG maker, there's cutscenes and the fluidity of movement is incredible. The art is very hot, if you love girls with massive tits. Combat is basic but fun, with more components beyond the very simplistic RPG maker combat. Kudos on that. However, the dialogue is beyond cringe worthy. It is the most expositional dialogue you have EVER read. The characters are constantly spousing information both of them already know, for the sake of the player, and it makes any scene in which there is information they have to share incredibly tedious. Secondly and even more importantly, the sex scenes are incredibly bland. With so many different girls and even VR girls from other games (very nice touch) kinks are... non existent here. There's practically no anal, extremely limited boobjobs, very little exhibitionism, no BDSM, nothing beyond vainilla. While this could be easily forgiven if the story was good... welp... Every girl is in love with the main guy who is the MC'est MC that has ever MC'd to who personality is a sin, not a virtue. It's the most typical harem story with some girls jealous of others while pursuing him, and he bangs them all because of his... charm? Manliness? Basically he says something that I think is supposed to be a compliment for the girls and they throw themselves at him and want to bang immediately. All in all, it's not a bad game, just with incredibly cringy and unreal dialogue and story, and basic combat and fantastic visuals. So while it's pretty look at, the game is incredibly shallow and basic. Oh, and forget about any type of choice in this game, there's no such thing beyond choosing what girl to spend your time with first, no other choice really matters in this game, which sucks.

The art is cool and all, but I just cant recommend it, especially at full price. My biggest gripe mostly goes to the mc, its like he was written by a weeb redditor's idea of cool, whose idea of hobby is spending watching chinese moving pictures. It ended up with me basically skipping the story every time he ''opens'' his mouth. Fuyune's 3rd event was just... like why would you pick her up, princess style, when the dude is still there being confrontational, what if he had a weapon and lunged at you, use her as a meat shield? Or how about him getting injured and ending up skipping 1 fight, to act all like ''I dont have time to bleed''? Dude! You literally have a teammate who can heal you literally by touch, like are you brain dead? Im prob getting old, cause I cant stand this shonnen tier bs writing. And this is a weird one, this game has slowdowns, like legit frame drop into single digits. How, I dont get em from more intensive games? I dunno, I guess I could change my recommend if the devs fix the slowdown. But if you want my recommendation for a good degen hgame, get Karryn's Prison its great.

[h3]黄油本身的作用是起到“游戏性”和“实用性”这两个看似互不相融的方面的融合[/h3] 举个例子，《荒野大镖客2》之所以经久不衰，其中有一部分原因是它将“电影叙事”和“开放世界”这两个完全不搭边甚至冲突的方面近乎完美的融合到一起。以此为例，我认为黄油也必须将“游戏性”与“实用性”相结合，强调玩家的代入感， [u]不然跟那些拼图小黄油没什么区别 [/u]。 回到本作，不得不承认本作在试图营造一个庞大的未来世界观，也出现了很多科幻色彩，但这终究只是锦上添花的东西，根本还是要看本作的内核。在自由时间当中，玩家有相应的行动点数（简称wp），wp可以用来和女角色增加好感度，好感度高了才会有相应事件（而且要想高好感度必须推进主线）。如果wp消耗完了怎么办？那么玩家能做的只有做那30个又多又无聊的支线任务，做完一个给1点wp。或者是推进主线一关回复1点。战斗在黄油里面属于比较困难的了，一方面关卡中会根据你的步数给你碰隐身怪（没有显形怪），想打的话很浪费时间，不想打的话不刷级boss又打不过。我方有多位角色的回合制，每人有独立的技能与等级，我确实不太想研究这个所以开了“不会战败”的选项。顺带一提，本作没有战败cg，cg是通过增加女角色好感度和去赛博妓院才有的。 回到正题，我觉得这种题材挺适合搞成那种鲨鱼社rpg黄油，题材比较少见（魔法少女什么的快玩腻了）。结果你告诉我这么大的地图（真的很大还没地图得自己记），玩家能做的只有去做那sb的支线任务？哪里有问号就去哪里，玩成育碧开罐头了是吧。虽说本作是男主角视角，但是好歹加几个随机事件也行啊。说到这里应该就明白了，本作的“游戏性”和“实用性”完全不相关，游戏是为了回复wp值，wp值用于解锁cg，并非一个融合的过程。举个再直白一点的例子，玩rpg黄油的时候，做贫民窟的任务，任务失败会发生什么？这是一个很自然的联想过程，起码做到了试图将游戏性（做任务）和实用性（战败cg）融合的尝试。 虽然本作是动态cg，量大管饱，还有其他游戏的人物（比如典狱长卡琳），里面的女角色们也都是心胸开阔。但是我还是不喜欢， [u]这个看个人，我的意见仅供参考 [/u]。首先就是有种说不出来的劣质，很影响实用性。其次那个吊绝对是p上去的，每次看那插入的一部分就难绷。 我说白了，你想搞好感度解锁cg你就老老实实整slg去。这种在rpg里面搞这种纯纯是白瞎了这么好的科幻题材了，割裂感非常严重。关于割裂感这方面在我之前的关于《民间正义联盟2》的评测里面已经提到过了，没想到这次还得说，感觉自己的评测水平进步了一些。附之前评测链接。[url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199371632452/recommended/1078320/] [/url]

Game Length: 8Hours+ Kamichichi games were never really under this amount of content. 5/5 Story: Really well done compared to devs previous games 5/5 Gameplay: Exactly what an RPG Should feel like, defining enemy weaknesses and skill trees! 5/5 Music: Rpgmaker assets + Some DOPE beats! 5/5 Art: cmon artist is Tetsu which he did all character art and Hscenes for Kamichichi. Uncensored and Patch Required 5/5 Grand Total: Perfect! Absolutely Perfect! 10/10 Now don't go comparing this game to a FPS game or whatever, game has been given an honest statistical opinion in its categories....it could be lower for some people, might not be their games. Apostle 2: Rebellion is amazing compared to Apost 1. Everything about this game looks absolute and each time Kamichi launches a game they do not dissapoint! Their menu is amazing, when selecting a potion to use on ur team from the party menu is unique! The combat menu spinning around in the center of the screen so totally not RPGMaker, I've touched RPGMaker and I know the basics to operate a game but to completely change up the base interface of RPGMakers software like scripts and making your own custom everything...Kamichichi's games feel so worth your bucks compared to other devs honestly. Combat is nice, you have characters classed in their own categories, some supportive, others having ability to provoke and tank. and etc...A nice roster which creates more team comp versatility. Enemies have multiple variations of weaknesses....enemies hit real hard and forces players to often make use of their items and revives. I haven't come across any cheesy Full HP/MP recovery fountains but there are NPCs that help sell items to recover along the way! Game is challenging and grinding is always an option...Players can reduce grinding with increase of difficulty! If players want to just enjoy the game can always lower the difficulty to easy from the default normal difficulty. Kamichichi games usually have multiple Endings, which is really nice to have in a game. Kamichi games usually have replay value as there are specific 1 time events for a partner to invite ex. a date. Due to the replay value theres a high chance of NewGame+....all of Kamichi's previous games have had NG+/carry over. The game has RPGMaker SFX assets and also includes a good amount of banger soundtracks that don't seem to belong from RPGMaker. The art and visual of the game is starting to leave the RPGMaker assets, I can barely recognize them now...Not only that theres a lot of Cutscenes and 3D animations which is DOPE! I haven't come across any rpgmaker game dev that has animated cutscenes! As for story content, they are definitely improving and starting to become on par with more up there game devs! I wont spoil content here in my review. With this being their 4th game launched I can truly feel the potential that Kamichi is attempting to reach! A game that just goes beyond rather than the some cloned rpgmaker game re-using all of its assets. Lastly if you're looking for a Nut'n'Go...this is not the game for you. It's not GoR, it's a game that has gamer asthetic designs....like your visual novels before you can see the good stuff with your waifu you must reach that point in the game! Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys H and Passion Projects! Going on my Indies Hgames shelf! Definitely gifting this to friends! Don't needa wait for a sale this, this is going to be indies H-RPG 2022 of the year on steam!

任务指引一坨，小游戏操作手感一坨。任务几乎没有任何提示，某后期主线任务强制要求你采用穷举的方法把大场景内的所有NPC都对话一遍，及其反人类

I think this time it's messy compared to the 1st game. There are quality-of-life change for the better like teleporting to the event But I think everything feels force as the people will just disappear when you're done with their event.

If you played the first Apostle, you'll love this one. It has it's flaws like the zoom feature to find hidden items and the insanely slow "running" speed that's coupled with a pretty big city to explore. But the art quality is top tier, the characters are enjoyable, the story is good (yes, a H game with an enjoyable story how rare is that?) and the world feels lived in unlike a lot of RPGs even main-streamed ones today. Edit: Actually, let's make that 7/10. If you're here for the H, well....you get one right away but the rest are gotten after hours of gameplay. Still not sure yet if they are repeatable as I haven't completed the game yet. They could have used the sprite H they created to allow some NPC fun.

Its great, massive improvement from the first game, but the sound effect are abit dull tbh. there are some lags (my pc are fine handling modern games btw) Not much to complain, hoepfully someone could make walkthrough guides cuz i hate going in blind XD (for the H-scenes im talking about)
