Mai and the Legendary Treasure Reviews

I like it . It can be challenging .

dont buy

The story was actually not too bad, but the art work was amateurish along with the game play and general setup of the game. About the only thing it has going for it is that it's built on RPG maker. The game doesn't resize, so on my 4k monitor it's barely big enough to read the text.

This has the feeling of an amateur's first attempt at an RPGMaker title. The battle mechanics basically don't work, the story progression is a series of non-sequiturs, and the art is super 90's pixel art, even during the storyline cutscenes. I really regret buying this game.

I was much annoyed by this game. Goals are never clear. Hints don't help. You will need a guide to finish it. There is way too much dialogue. It's a combat game first and everything else is secondary. Some of the decisions that were made are just baffling. There are bugs. It's a rather misguided game. But it has some qualities that made me sit through all of this. I'm not recommending it, but if you're curious, go check it out.

Great game. This is way better than that bug ridden game Knights of Messiah, even with the 1.04 patch for Knights of Messiah it still crashes randomly without errors and with errors. For Mai and the Legendary Treasure, I only had a few crashes with error popup which I think is related to some bitmap cache.

Adult patch needed and explicit language warning. If you use controller and keybinding did not work: Use the "desktop layout" (steam settings -> controller) for key binding and such. My "not recommend" is due to: random battle mixed with maze like dungeon and more that just add to wasted hours... Sex scenes that almost every last one are the "nasty" type (more about this later on) on top of artwork that's so so. Game is very well made and everything as in: Dev clearly has experience making rpg. Ending and such also very nice. MANY customisation and other stuff to improve quality of life, far superior to many SIMILAR rpg maker. Game has corruption system, tons of costumes, however, most of the h scenes are cruel type, most being either prostitution or rape -> Rape due to battle lose, CHEATING, prostitution due to blackmail and debt and so on and on. Funny enough, except for 1 h scenes (due to story), all h scenes are completely optional and are not needed for True ending. Source: I freaking beat the game and got true ending with only 1 h scenes (<- due to story) unlocked:| There is NO NG+. however, you can replay for endings, editing many stuff I won't spoil but ideea is: you will not be locked out from true ending. And you need true ending to get access to unlock all scenes. Warning: My game crashed once I used this or other "epilogue features". Ensure you save. No issues once I loaded save file. As an RPG maker (no h): It's open world as in you don't need to follow a strict a to b to c. However, you will end up something similar since obviously you won't be able to progress unless you cleared certain areas. Due to the nature of RPG maker open world.... all random enemies's level scale with MC. This mean: Running might fall -> adding more wasted time. You DO need to fight them for money, EXP (how else will you beat bosses?), learn new skill you have little to no control over how and when (Seriously! Why is it so impossible for RPG makers to add "disable/remove skill/magic" function?? I end up with a looong list of skill or magic I won't use, but adds more wasted time to find them!). Is it fun? No! It's extremely tiring that all dungeons are maze like, hard to tell where you go. Tons of times with a death end but guess what, just behind you is the random enemy you avoided, and yes, now you waste time to run or battle to farm exp. Regardless of the region, it's always the same pool of enemies, that 2 enemies are randomly picked out. Said enemy pool only ever gets upgraded when you level up. And of course: No teleportation. Meaning if you arrived at the end of a dungeon, and there is a boss you can't beat (due to to low level, something you couldn't tell since all random enemies are same level as yourself), missing an item or event (no hint prior)...of course you are stuck...need to go all the way back...and come back later...because you assume now you can beat boss/pass gate.... and sometimes you realised you wasted your time as it's still to early... at least later dungeons do have some kind of teleportation system because the maps, numbers of areas, and such, get larger and large... Anyways... Aside from that, a lot of costumes, weapons, skills, spells, and many more varieties. More about H scenes. Warning: very explicit language and minor non story spoiler of such h scenes for the purpose of examples. Not recommend to anyone unless they enjoy seeing scumbags (definition and not insult) humiliating, emotionally blackmail (including murdering children if not obeying), physically hit, raped and so on. And yes, this includes being forced to cheat on lovers as all girls have at least one man they love if not even in relationship. Let me put it differently: if you have a sex doll, that you also hit, insult, and it creates sounds and such of fear or anger or begs to get money in exchange for cruel and mercilessness sex, on top of crying after they love who is someone else... if not present....., if that is sexually attractive to you, you will love this game.... There are many rape due to battle lose as well. Rent and personal opinion Warning: Yes, I was hoping this is another game like Acerolas (devs) games or Succubus connect (<- mosaic censorship warning) but nope, it's once again one where scumbags (definition and not insult) are treating woman in inhuman condition, including humiliating, insulting, blackmailing, and more! And yes, I know most Kagura Games are like this. Guess what? The Party members (woman) I played for hours with no H scenes, finally get their 1st ones.... and all are the type where they prostitute themselves to that level they need to kneel down to beg to be mistreated and raped, on top of being hit as well, by some scumbags are their only H scenes I can trigger for them?? They have lover but nothing? yep. This freaking cross the line. If it was not for those scumbags (again, definition, not insult), this game would have been so amazing with many freedom and more! But once again it's one of those games you need to have a fetish to treat woman like pouncing bags/sex doll! And just to absolutely clarify the definition of scumbag: I call scumbag someone who not only hits woman, rapes them, but also threatens (via magic that kills on command) to kill children unless their victims sell themselves intro prostitution.

Easily the WORST hgame I have played. No NG+, I played through the whole damn thing and got nearly zero scenes. It plays like ass and it has so much uninteresting dialogue. Clearly a cash grab. It is sad too. The baseline game seems like it could be worth it, if it felt like any effort was put into it beyond that.

It's a Studio Gyu game, if you know anything about them you know what you're getting into. Just like other games by this maker, it has a good customization system, a story that at least somewhat exists, a battle system that isn't overly complex but has elements that make it complex if you want to delve into it, and so many bugs you wonder how the game holds itself together. (Thankfully, this one isn't as bugged as Knights of Messiah so if you could handle that you can handle this.) In other words, just like other Studio Gyu games: it'd be an amazing game if it weren't bugged to hell and back, instead it's just pretty good.

A big yes from me, a very good RPG, challenging, fun, multiple endings, and just the right amount of choice to go where you want and play. Story is a little linear and there aren't that many side quotes, but it'll keep you busy for around 8 to 10 hours depending on your play style. Open world, dungeons are pre-made but good sized Enemies across the game level with you, but cap at 50, which is challenging at the start when you have little gear. Learn skills whilst fighting, spells from spell books Day and Night cycle, little to do unless you level up your lusty nature. Can change clothing, certain clothing comes with benefits in the world but only once or twice, otherwise it's just for your personal looks. I enjoyed it.
