Demons Roots

This is not your typical Kagura cash grab rpg. It's a proper story driven rpg with tons of content. A first playthrough is over 40 hours plus. Tons of characters, story building and in depth rpg battle mechanics. This ones a classic just like kagura games Apostle. 10/10

I am actually surprised that this isn't some generic NSFW game sprinkled with a poorly written story and bandaged by sex scenes. Story is great and revolves around the main protagonist, Deathpolca and her band of companions on her quest to revive demonkind. Along the way, you'll find an engaging story on how, why reality is as it is (rampant slavery, demonkind history, etc..) and the characters themselves get some screentime to explain how and why they matter to the plot. Gameplay wise, it's pretty simple (you have your tank, dps, healer, etc..) and it'll get repetitive after a while but the story is good enough to keep you interested until the end. There are situations where you're left with one character (that you may/may not use that often) but the difficulty is scaled so that it fits a forced one player party. Now that I finished this, I might start on King Exit next since this one offers an alternated ending for when humans wins instead of demonkind.

Demon's Roots is probably one of the best written RPGs I've played, up there with Chrono Trigger, Planescape: Torment, and the Baldur's Gate series. The characters are downright delightful, and their interactions are some of the best parts of the game. If you came here for pure titilation, you are honestly in the wrong place, though there is some of that. The R-18 elements basically come in three categories, the first being main-story additions that mostly serve the story well, and the other two are completely optional with one type being borderline silly kink indulgences, and the other veering into torture porn. That last one is easy to avoid if you aren't into that, just ignore the "Bad End" system. Overall, this is a roughly 40-hour game for a full playthrough. The english translation is well done and should leave no confusion on what is happening or what you are doing, even going well into the poetic for scenes that warrent it. I'm not sure what else to say; frankly Dealthpolca (the main character) is delightful and her adventure was a fun use of my time with quite a few emotional ups and downs. Make sure you actually play to the end; most of the negative Steam reviews I saw complain about the bad ending, but reference events that are NOT the actual ending. If the game didn't present New Game+, then you haven't seen the ending yet, so keep going!

Demon Roots might just be one of the best games out there. Technically, it's an H game, but the H scenes are few and story-related. In fact, in my opinion, the game would be perfectly enjoyable even without the H scenes. This is not at all your average Kagura Games JRPG. It has a great story and well-written characters. With Deathpolca and her allies you will fight for the survival of demonkind in a cruel world, where slavery is commonplace, and you will liberate the human slaves while dismantling the unjust order of the human society. You will walk the path of "evil" in the sense that, in the perspective of the oppressive powers ruling the twisted game world, your actions and beliefs are indeed evil. I like this game very much. If you are here just for the sex scenes, then you can skip this.
