[h1]THE GAME[/h1]
[b]MECHANICS[/b]
Standard RPG-Maker gameplay with turn-based combat. You control a single MC and spend most of your time navigating dungeons and fighting monsters. Despite that, BegieAde is feature-light: you have a limited set of items, skills and equipment to work with.
While most encounters can be avoided, you’ll need to defeat a number of boss encounters to complete the game. On normal or harder difficulty, this requires some leveling by either the (long and grindy) combat route or the (shorter yet still grindy) sexual route. The latter involves doing badly/losing in combat and suffering the consequences. So if you don’t want to grind, pick a low difficulty setting.
Controls: keyboard and mouse
[b]STORY[/b]
You play as Tereza, a battle commander of the knights of the Kiska Kingdom. After successfully capturing the bandit leader Duardo, your fortunes turn when a succubus sets your captive free and endows him with magical powers. You’re defeated, cursed and left behind in captivity. It’s up to you to escape, regain your powers, and restore peace to the kingdom.
The story has a dark and gritty vibe to it; don’t expect to see many – if any – happy or funny moments. The plot is almost completely linear, but has about five different endings, mostly depending on how you tackle the final bosses.
[b]QUALITY[/b]
BegieAde does quite a few things right. The MC in particular stands out; she is fully animated and occupies a third of your screen most of the time. Story is somewhat better than usual, the combat is fast-paced and includes only useful items and skills, and sound and interface are also okay. On the downside, you’ll get a sloppy (if comprehendible) translation, some bugs, monotonous dungeon design, grindy gameplay and a short plot.
[h1]THE GOODS[/h1]
[b]SUBJECT[/b]
BegieAde’s lewd is solely about NPC’s (human and non-human) harassing, abusing and raping Tereza. Even though Tereza has a curse that increases her desire, she hardly ever enjoys what she’s doing.

[b]CONTENT[/b]
12 animated scenes as well as a considerable amount of combat animations, including clothing degradation.
[b]ACCESS[/b]
A big part of BegieAde’s lewd consists of combat animations. Some monsters (bandits, orks and goblins) can do sexual harassment attacks instead of normal attacks. When you get hit by such an attack, your clothing takes damage and degrades in three stages. After the third stage, the monsters pin you down and start abusing you until you either manage to struggle free or give up.
The other lewd scenes are encountered as part of the main plotline (the game has no virgin route), by talking to certain NPC’s or after losing fights to certain monsters and bosses. After seeing one of these scenes, you can revisit them in a reminiscences room on the main map. You’ll need to reach Carreil before you’ll be able to access this room. In the room, you’ll also find hints to access events that you may have missed.
The game does not have a NG+ option or an option to unlock the full gallery, so pay heed to these hints if you want to see everything. The combat scenes aren’t available in the reminiscences room either, but you could rewatch them by browsing to the fonts folder (no idea why) of your game files if you’re so inclined.
[b]QUALITY[/b]
BegieAde’s selling point is obviously the fact that all the lewd is animated, and in a fairly original art style at that. For an indy game, they look pretty good.
[h1]VERRO’S VERDICT[/h1]
BegieAde is a bit hit and miss. It certainly isn’t a bad product; if you like this kind of (animated!) lewd and don’t care much for gameplay, you’ll get an entertaining evening out of it. I’m a gameplay guy though, and BegieAde failed to meet my (rather low) bar for this genre. On top of that, it’s fairly expensive for the amount of content it offers. So a hesitant thumbs down on this one.
