Escape from Fortress Lugohm Reviews

One of the very rare h-RPGs with decent plot and gameplay. Highly recommended!

The girl is cute and the art is nice. Quite open-ended and I probably would've gotten lost without a guide. Overall 5/10

Short but fun puzzle escape game. Has multiple endings which adds replay value.

Escape from Fortress Lugohm is a game about mentally ill soldiers fighting in a predetermined state of war for decades of bloodshed, with the head of all their land, Lugohm Earl holding anyone he catches roaming the territory as prisoners captive. The one such character he captures is our female MC, Aisha, and she proceeds to service the guards in exchange for whereabouts to the castle's exit instead of just accepting the fact that she's royally fucked. That's what happens in the normal route, anyway. In the Hard Route, you take on the role of a kickbutt assassin who learns how to exploit the weaknesses of the fortress and solve a numerous variety of puzzles that make no real sense to the plot of the game but are cool and have tricky catchphrases from another language you've never heard of. It even has treasure chests, but not just regular treasure chests, some require cool coins you will have to find to unlock them and then guess their safe combination with. About halfway through the hard route the whole game will hit the fan as the castle's collapse is imminent because the Lugohm Earl is a total spaz but the virgin Chad Aisha dethrones him. Amazing game 10/10 would play again. (Yes, buy it, great price)

Right, so saw this and thought. Yep, here we go again... Pros: Stealth mechanics Resource management (Hard mode) MC Bosses weren't too challenging. Cons: A bit short, around 1 1/2 - 3 hours per run. H scenes weren't to my taste, but might be to others. Overall, I would rate it 3.5 out of 5.

Well, that was boring. The game has potential but the H scenes are very poor (ie static, low effort, low imagination. I've enjoyed finishing other H games from Kagura but after my first 43 minute session, I think I'm unlikely to ever open this game again.

First game from Baron Sengia's Aisha series. Mainly an RPG where you avoid fighting and just try to resolve puzzles.

I enjoyed the game, but I do feel a little bit that rather than it being an H game, it feels more like a game with an H in it. It can also be a bit confusing as how to progress sometimes. However, there is now a guide (made by "Mihir") for the game! So if you were hesitating because you dislike getting lost that is now solved! :) Link to the guide in case you need it! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1837170113

I personally like the artstyle and H-scenes, They were all very well drawn and really giving you of the vibe of an "Old anime". The story itself is pretty good, nothing exceptional but it is pretty good for these kind of rpg's. As for the length of the game, i can finish the game on normal mode for about ±3 hours, BUT! There are 2 difficulties, Normal, and Hard, which makes the game even longer (If you were to take the [spoiler] Defeat The last boss[/spoiler] ending...) There are 4 endings you can achieve, which i believe will make this game take around 10 hours if you want to 100% it. So yea. Try it. Its worth your money

Having played a good few of these titles made with RPGMaker, I can say, Escape from Fort Lugohm is likely one of the best games I ever played of this genre. Art: Decent enough. The art isn't bad, though this is obviously a very subjective thing to judge. Overall, I find Aisha a cute little thief and I think while not incredibly outstanding, it can hold its ground in this regard. Sound: Generic titles you hear in every game of this kind. If you played at least three or so, you know the tracks, I guess. Adult content: Obviously it's mostly non-consensual, but almost entirely avoidable. In fact, the least lewd clears will only require one single scene. On the other hand, you can likely just sleep your way through this game and not bother fighting (if you are good at running away). Anyway, the adult content (restored through patch, which I recommend getting), is nothing too out there, pretty tame. Amount of scenes is pretty ok though. I'd say, the game doesn't disappoint here. Gameplay: Now, this is the part where I go and explain why I consider this game good. It has actually nice gameplay. This game is filled with all kinds of things that can keep you entertained apart from adult content and the occasional joke. While I definitely recommend doing a normal difficulty run and appreciate the lewd scenes at least once, even if you don't, you can still enjoy the game much from having to sneak around, solve puzzles, find certain items, avoid getting caught and eventually escape Fort Lugohm. Now, don't expect a triple-A title, but for the price of the game, it's absolutely worth it. And this although story-wise, the story is quite minimal. To be honest, I think the developer has accepted that most people who play these games expect no incredible story, but has made it their mission to keep the game fun and I think they succeeded. Also, as there are multiple possible endings, you ca play this game multiple times and still have fun. I think this is actually one of the few games that I actually bothered to get other endings for, just because I don't mind returning to the game after a couple weeks (to avoid still knowing the map by heart and solving everything too easily) and try again. Thus, this game absolutely gets my recommendation. Escape from Fort Lugohm is a solid title and I have been looking forward to this ever since Kagura Games announced they'd publish it for the international market. And I appreciate the effort Danshaku-sensei put into making the game fun. I consider this game #3 among my favourite titles made with RPGMaker, #2 being the second title featuring thief girl Aisha, Magician of the Olecta Desert, which manages to actually improve even further on this game (I hope Kagura Games picks it up at some point) and MGQ:Paradox (obviously no contest there).
