STORY
The writing in this game is very minimal. There isn’t even a skip text function, because conversations are so few and far between.
Red is the only survivor of the hero force called “The Impressions”. Outside of an intel station at HQ, Red is all alone. There are no item vendors or friendly NPCs. As an untrained newbie, Red is overwhelmed. But by the time you rescue your friends and fight the final boss, Red is a confident and strong hero.
The enemy faction is called “The Dirties” and act pretty generic. They feel like social rejects and want to take down the popular establishment of society protected by The Impressions. There wasn’t any buildup or depth to this, so the villains seem like they just want to cause trouble for the fuck of it. The story is not very engaging, to say the least.
GAMEPLAY
Red’s Impressions Rescue was created with RPG Maker VX Ace. You move with the arrow keys and press ‘Z’ to interact with things. There is no dialogue skip. Press ‘W’ to hide the text box.
While story and appearances are forgettable, the actual gameplay is fantastic! You’re killing enemies and searching their corpses for healing items and skill potions. And that’s only the first dungeon! The game has so much more to offer!
There are three skill trees: Combat, magic attack, and magic defense. As you level up and consume skill potions, you gain skill points that you distribute to the trees. Specializing in one skill tree can make you a total powerhouse, but is that a smart decision?
Spoiler alert! The third region of the dungeon shuts down all magical power! Instead of robes, you better switch to some power armor! Playing the game without magic really changed things up and I loved it!
Meanwhile, the second region is filled with traps and pitfalls! You’ll need a puzzle scope to locate them all. And even after you do, there’s still the problem of finding your way around the traps and into the next room!
Engaging combat, interesting puzzles, and an in-depth skill system make this game an instant hentai gaming classic. It has tons of replay value depending on your playstyle! Personally, next time I’m going for a no-magic playthrough!
While a single playthrough will take two hours, that’s only a virgin run! If you track down all the scenes and try out every skill, this title evolves into a super enjoyable four hour experience.
GRAPHICS
The art is classic Japanese anime style. There are only ten scenes in total, all of which vary in quality. Facial features of the protagonist change depending on the scene.
Sometimes Red will have a tiny mouth and vibrant pink hair, while other times she has pronounced facial features and faded red hair. Similarly, the placement of her features changes dramatically. Sometimes her mouth is very low on her face, but other times it’s an inch away from her eyes! It’s hard to believe the girl is the same between scenes with different artworks.
On the bright side, the world design is fantastic. A variety of enemy sprites are used in and out of battle, most of which are unique and given flashy abilities of their own. For example, the clown has a naughty laser beam that no other enemy can use.
As she takes damage, Red’s clothes will slowly tear apart. Similarly, certain dungeon regions give Red unique outfits, ie. the sandy cavern zone gives her rags. The visual variety of her clothing makes the game a much more enjoyable experience.
VOICE ACTING AND SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)
Red’s Impressions Rescue has no voice acting.
The sound effects are all from the stock RPG maker library. Sadly, many of them are underused. The other members of The Impressions can use wind and water magic, but Red is always restricted to flame magic. When it comes to sound design, things can get repetitive fast. Still, it fits the setting of a dungeon crawler, so I don’t mind.
MUSIC
There are over 200 songs in this game, most of which are stock music not original to the game. While a big soundtrack sounds nice, most of these songs are only used once in specific situations.
The music in this game is a liability. The moment you hear the title music, you immediately think the game is a generic and forgettable pile of garbage. It’s a stock track you hear in tons of other RPG Maker games. The moment I heard it, I thought this game would suck. It turns out the gameplay was great, and it’s only the music that sucks.
You will be treated to generic stock tracks with digitally synthesized beats, that get repetitive in spite of a large library. There is little to praise here. The shoddy music is better than silence – that’s it.
HENTAI
There are only ten sex scenes in total, all of which are defeat scenes. This means that good players will never see them all. And without a hint guide, even if you’re looking for them, you may struggle to locate them all.
This game has gangbangs, electrocution, nipple clamps, and even tentacle sex! The content is totally hardcore!
Red is a total virgin. Will her first time be forced sex, or consensual sex? Late game features a brainwashing mechanic with multiple scenes involved. Red can happily consent to sex with strangers, while keeping the story focus on her battle against the gang.
The dialogue is really vivid. Red calls it a “nightmare” to be forced down by such scum. She expresses such horror, it feels realistic! I wish I could keep playing after a sex scene rather than getting a game over. Letting every guy have a turn with her would be a dream!
CONCLUDING WORDS
Red’s Impressions Rescue is a fantastic indie RPG title. Sexy scenes, engaging game design, and wonderful artwork make this a joyful experience. The story is lacking, but if you love RPG style gameplay, this game will hit your spot!
