It’s so on the nose that I’m not sure there’s any way you can play it without thinking “I’m supposed to be getting something out of this.” Unfortunately, I think I have to count myself amongst them. ![]() The biggest shame of Scarlet Blade isn’t the vast amount of adult content (as an MMO game for adults), but that there are going to be people that can’t look past it. Sometimes you’ll need to kill 5 monsters to finish one quest, then seven of the same monsters to finish the next. The quest system seems quite dated and the majority of things you’ll do involve killing monsters over and over again. Rinse and Repeat – Although I’ve been quite impressed with the opening hours of the game, this isn’t something I could see myself returning to time and time again. Although the game is made up of tight passageways between trees (or wide open fields), everything just seems too out of proportion, and the developers have tried to fill that void with more enemies than are really needed. No, I don’t mean that you can go wherever you want by just heading in a direction and walking, like a Fallout where all the bras were destroyed in the nuclear war. Open Wide – Although the graphics of Scarlet Blade are generally quite good, this problem constantly bothered me. Other classes might be more fun, but ultimately the fight system will boil down to the same thing. I chose a long-distance shooter, and it takes ages for her to fire and her moves are all a little samey. It doesn’t help that some of the classes are just very, very dull. It feels a little restrictive, especially compared to other recent releases, and you end up bored of fighting. I’ve never seen jiggle like it, but I imagine a whole gang of twelve year olds suddenly have new respect for how hard it must be for a large breasted woman to run.įight – The fighting system is a little average, at best. Jiggle Jiggle – Further to my last point, not only are the girls you’ll come across very well endowed, but they also fail to wear any sort of supportive, steadying underwear. Even the log-off screen has a picture of an anime girl frowning: “You don’t really want to turn me off?” This will be a deal breaker for many people if you feel comfortable playing, more power to you. I know it’s supposedly based on a specific sort of anime, that there’s nothing really wrong with me playing this game, but I found it hard to get over how sexualized everything was. This is the sort of game that feels like you should have to buy it from a video store in a rough neighbourhood. Lots of hardly dressed girls, jiggling about in next to nothing something about it felt very seedy. There’s also a pretty good character editor, which allows you to personalize the girl (because you can only play as girls) you’ll be controlling throughout the game.Īdult Stuff – As a man, joining Scarlet Blade for the first time felt a little bit like logging into a website that just streamed a hidden cam from a women’s changing room. ![]() I have a few complaints (see below), but if you’ve played similar games I can’t see you grumbling about much.Ĭlassy Stuff – There are a number of classes to choose from, and with a few exceptions – the punisher springs to mind – most manage to avoid cheap sexual puns. ![]() For a free-to-play game from a publisher like Aeria, I’m not sure you could expect any better. I thought there’d be a huge focus on jiggle physics (and there was), but actually the developers have built a world that actually quite nice to explore and even relatively nice to look at. ![]() It’s only when you start comparing it to newer, more innovative games that it starts to fall flat.īright and Bold – The visuals are better than I’d expected as well. For the sort of people that play free-to-play MMORPGs, there’s an awful lot to see here that’s above average. It isn’t going to be a game that takes away a ton of awards for originality or even very good quality, but it’s more than capable. It’s Actually Good! – The biggest surprise for me was in learning that Scarlet Blade isn’t all boobs and bugs (of the virtual sort).
