Kuroinu Chapter 1, a hentai visual novel developed by Liquid ltd. Published in English by Mangagamer in March 31st, 2017. Available for download at Mangagamer, download JAST USA. For Windows PC operating systems (Vista, 7, 8, 10). Full Japanese voice acting. Uncensored genitals.

A dark medieval fantasy erotica, Kuroinu is a visual novel series with three chapters in total. All the chapters have been officially released via commercial channels in the English speaking market. The first chapter tells the tale of the mercenary Vult. The story skips to the goods instead of detailing his war campaign that leads to the establishment of his twisted nation, which he names the Cuntry. If you thought western cultures were patriarchal and oppressive, you clearly haven’t travelled.

STORY

The dark elf queen Olga has waged war against the southern kingdoms for hundreds of years. As the kingdoms grew tired of getting fucked in the ass, they launched an alliance. However, instead of uniting under one banner to take the war to the north, the alliance leaders decided to employ a group of mercenaries to defeat the dark elf queen. They hired Vult. His battle-hardened army effortlessly demolishes the ragtag band of monsters defending Olga’s castle.

Soon after conquering the citadel, Vult declares war against the southern kingdoms. Assisted by a betrayer general of the alliance, the mixed race crew of hired killers gains the structure, and discipline of a real army. They start laying siege to castles, taking the women as sex slaves. The Seven Shields Alliance crumbles offscreen. You only see one battle and its aftermath. I was disappointed with the story for jumping over important events like battles.

The characters are barely built up before the intercourse. The scenario is straightforward and relies more on the visuals than actual storytelling. One moment you see the girl talking, the next moment she’s raped like a whore.

After the war is over, and the entire continent is part of the Cuntry, the game becomes a regular eroge: From the three girls featured in this chapter, you choose one to put up for slave auction. The girls are turned into prostitutes, their holes sold to the highest bidders. You can sell the same girl multiple times, each time accompanied by a depraved sex scene. I enjoy my hentai girls to be high-status females, I thus chose Olga’s pussy as my main source of revenue.

GRAPHICS

Some of the sprites look off. I’ve noticed this before in Liquid ltd’s products: The character artwork has inconsistent quality. Some characters have quirky noses and jawlines, and somewhat weird body proportions. Other characters look magnificent, as if penned by an entirely different artist. The CG artwork is ways better than the character sprites. The contrast in lighting, and detail, is enough to make the sprites look cheap in comparison. The images of sex have been gracefully colored, with gorgeous shadows providing a sense of shape to the bodies. The sprites have one pose, a few sets of clothing, and multiple faces.

The character designs are extremely erotic. The girls have curvy feminine bodies with large breasts and hips. They’re very realistic, with even their ribs and bone structure clearly visible. Their outfits leave little to the imagination. The women wear tiny panties that barely cover their bikini area. Their dresses barely hide a speck of flesh. The background art is consistently high quality, my favorites were the depictions of the medieval castles with their high towers.

GAMEPLAY

Kuroinu is a visual novel. Click the screen to turn the pages. Save your progress to later backtrack to your favorite scene.

The game is linear in the beginning, no choices provided to the player that influence the storyline. I was expecting the game to let me choose which castles to raid, and which women to fuck. But since the story was a total steamroll for Vult, there were no choices. He won the war offscreen. After that was done, the first choice I was presented with was which woman to put up for slave auction. Each option includes a sex scene for the chosen girl.

MUSIC

The music is dark and edgy, befitting of a medieval princess rape scenario. I enjoyed all the tracks, including that chill song that played during dialog songs. The casual songs in eroge are usually the ones that fail to set the mood. The soundtrack provided the freaky ambiance that made this edgy story come alive. The songs were great, with plenty of variety for the sex scenes as well, though none were particularly erotic. I almost felt like the music was working to kill the emotional side of the scenes. Kind of like how the songs played in night clubs are often cold, synthetic beats without singing.

The soundtrack is distinct and fits the context, but I wouldn’t consider any of the songs memorable. You won’t be inspired to start practicing to play an instrument just to play these tracks.

VOICE ACTING AND SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)

The women are fully voice-acted, while the men aren’t.

The voice-acting is professional-tier Japanese quality. The actresses somehow completely immersed themselves in their roles as victims of rape. Every embarrassed gasp and sound of protest, they utter in a sexually enticing manner. Like when the girls are forced to utter self-depreciating lines about their sexual experience, you can just hear the dripping of their pussies. My favorite scenes were Chloe’s. The actress of Chloe did an amazing job at playing the reluctant slut who’s afraid to get addicted to dicks, only to lose her mind when the dicks kept cumming inside of her.

If you’re the type to get off on young Japanese women ranting about “jimp milku” and “manko”, this game will make you cum buckets. Note, there’s an occasional censorship bleep when the girls talk dirty.

HENTAI

The hentai scenes depict exclusively non-consensual sex. The women are high-status females who are raped and destroyed; Olga, the dark elf queen is a proud royal virgin, while her subordinate Chloe is a feisty slut with a sexually diverse past. Claudia Levantine is a gorgeous knight that’s happily married to a beta male husband. All the women get raped by monsters and men until they break.

The sex scenes feature a singular slide and plenty of text describing the action. There’s also incredible Japanese voice acting. The image slide changes to a different variant as the scene progresses. For example, after the first creampie, the cum stays in the woman’s now-gaping slit. When another monster comes to plow her hole, the gallons of semen gushing out are shown.

The trick that makes these crazy rapey scenarios enjoyable for a mass audience is that the sex is hyped as non-consensual, but there’s barely any violence involved. If the writing was changed, there’s not really any visual cues that make the sex look any more terrible than a normal video of consensual group sex. The circumstances surrounding the sex scenes are dark and edgy, but the women are not harmed.

I personally enjoyed the women protesting the horrors being done to them. There’s something special about a woman telling you “no”, while you force your hot load into her womb. Eventually the girls grow to enjoy the sex, and their entire tone of speech becomes more sultry. After all, women’s bodies are designed by nature to handle multiple sexual partners a day.

CONCLUDING WORDS

Kuroinu is a spectacular fap experience for lovers of hardcore hentai scenarios. It’s an unapologetic story of war and its female victims. If you’ve already watched crazy stuff that desensitized you for extreme depravity, this game delivers the goods.

Highly recommended Japanese porn game. Download Kuroinu Chapter 1 at Mangagamer. or download JAST USA Kuroinu Redux.
