  After year waiting for a translation of it, is with a lot of pleasure to say this is one of the best H-RPG Maker out there, probably at the same level of great titles like Black Souls and the Sequel series. If you're tired of cash crab H-RPG ones play this one now

  It's not even about the H scenes. If you ever played King Exit (by the same creators) before it was removed from steam, you know what I mean. The story of Demons Roots has far more character than even that masterpiece, now with the benefit of a good translation.

  The game summed up in one word:

  KINO!

  The game summed up in another word:

  SOUL!

  This is spoiler free. I honestly don't know where to begin. This is a masterpiece masquerading as a HRPG. Although some sexual elements are interwoven in the plot, I never once felt that it was intended for 'those' purposes. Everything's relevant and somehow interconnected. And what an experience that was. I'm truly at a loss for words. I chipped away at it since release day. I wasn't thinking about much at the time. I certainly didn't expect THIS and just when I thought that I knew what was going to happen, where everything was headed, the game did a 360, moonwalked back and left me dumbstruck, multiple times at that! I don't remember of a game in Kagura's catalogue that does such a thing. Not everyone will be on board with the story, the cruelty and misery of the thing we call reality. Many would prefer to indulge in a brighter tale, wrapping themselves in a warm and cozy blanket, a fantasy where everything turns out for the best, or in the worst case scenario, a world where it's easy to suspend one's sense of disbelief -- where the heroine(s) become debauched prostitutes who cannot live without *phallic object word goes here*. That would also be an acceptable conclusion for some. In case you're here for the H, there is some, but this isn't a corruption game, nor does it feature any particular routes. Considering the characterization and plot, I found it difficult to immerse myself in that content. In fact, I outright ignored most of it after the story pulled me in. And I'm perfectly fine with that! The experience was fantastic! The game is about plot. There's a lot of reading to do and a lot of leveling to do as well. By the end of the journey, my party was almost all at level 99, the max. Everything is extremely intricately interwoven, creating a beautiful yet tragic tapestry of tales, culminating in a (to me personally) satisfying ending. No braindead nonsense about the hero having to defeat the evil Demon King. It's heavily layered, like a proper light novel. The levels are beautiful, the music is tasteful, the characters are charming, the atmosphere is fantastic and the world is just BRIMMING WITH LIFE! It's incredibly well made. I cannot fathom how much work it took to put it all together. It's a fantastic tale of struggle against an unfair world. A tale of rags to riches. A tale of oppression and yearning for liberation. A tale of bonds and friendship too. A tale of acceptance and forgiveness. But not a tale of love, not in the conventional sense in any case. To summarize in numbers. Plot: 11/10 Duration: 10/10 Soundtrack: 9/10 Characters: 9/10 Gameplay: 8/10 H: I don't care!/10 This game deserves a slow clap standing ovation and I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to immerse themselves in a dark fantasy world and experience a story unlike any other, compared to conventional HRPGs!

  Game Length: 8-24hours Probably capped around 40hours 5/5 Story: Real good, High Quality HRPG here 5/5 Gameplay: Class specific Characters, multiple characters, more diverse rpg battle system with lots of strong enemies and a tank class for redirecting / mitigating party damages! 5/5 Art: Great! Patch required. Uncensored. And can be filtered off for SFW mode! 5/5 Grand Total: PERFECT! 10/10 Demon's Roots is the Sequel to King's Exit. This dev throws a lot of Easter Eggs and this takes place like 10-20 years before King's Exit. If your looking for a Rich and Promising series that holds some link and connection to each other (not just a bunch of random games that most Indie Devs do) QuickNailAristocrat definitely shows love for their mainstream storyline works. -StoryRich -Comedy -Wholesome Cast -Manly Tears -Adventurous plenty to explore -Intense Fights and plenty of powerful enemies -Epic HRPG game -Tons of Secrets Highly recommend do not miss this one!! I mentioned in my review for Apostle:Rebellion that it was HRPG of the year for 2022 and I'll say Demon's Roots is HRPG of the year for 2023!

  (ignore playtime, i originally got it on another platform and went to buy it on steam out of respect) Demon roots is an rpgmaker game. It's also the best game i've played in years. -Gameplay wise it's pretty classic rpgmaker, turn based combat, top down view all that. On the other hand every map is detailed and full of secrets and treasures to find, and the fact i never once got lost despite having a god awful sense of direction is a testament to how good the level design is at guiding you. -the art is great, and the maps often have quite a lot of original assets and images used to make them look better and more unique, this makes demon roots prolly one of the prettiest rpgmaker games i've ever played. Same goes for CGs, be they 18+ or not they all look really good. -The music is absolutely amazing, and is used perfectly, there's never a scene where you go "hold up this feels out of place" -The 18+ content is really limited so if you want a porn game this ain't it chief, what's there i feel is mainly good at reinforcing the themes of the story rather than anything else and then there's the story --Spoiler free-- Demon roots' story is amazing, one of the best things i've had the pleasure of experiencing in many years. You play as deathpolca, a petite demon girl with amnesia who'd been spying on the human world for a century or so to prepare for the demon's invasion as a response to their world dying. Over the course of the story you find yourself joined by 6 other characters, and every single one of them feels unique, they all have their own unique personality, goals, motivations, fears, traumas, sense of humor etc... essentially, they genuinely feel like actual people and this applies to almost every single character in the game, protagonist or not. As the story goes, you see more and more of the world of demon roots and boy is there certainly a lot to see, every area feels different from the last with it's own atmosphere and culture, one day you'll be fighting in a wasteland full of barbarians who enjoy torturing people for fun, the next you'll be in a massive merchant city planning a coup d'état The story has 5 chapters + a side story, though there's a twist here that i won't spoil ---SPOILERS FROM HERE--- The characters are actually really quite deep, let's take the main protagonist Deathpolca for example, though she acts like a dominant uncaring demon it's immediatly clear she doesn't want the war. Polca isn't a warmonger, she's simply terribly afraid of being left alone and that fear drives everything she does, she hides it due to her leadership role in the demon army requiring her to put up a strong front, but the mask breaks rapidly, especially when people she cares about become hurt and ESPECIALLY towards the middle of the game during the berserker drug incident in which she's forced to kill demons she developped a close bond with. And this applies to every character they all get their own personal traumas and fears, and they all get their own arcs that allows them to keep moving despite those; ange hates herself for being too weak to protect her queen so she becomes an unbreakable shield, sarasa spent her entire life imprisoned, dreaming of travelling the world but refuses to abandon her fellow students, diana joined the demons in hope of being able to kill her father again despite the fact that deep down she knows if she met him face to face she wouldn't be able to pull that trigger due to the close bond they shared when she was young i'll stop here to not analyze all the characters but i could go deeper on all of them. Characters aside, the story is centered around slavery and the reasons for it are actually somewhat justified, it's not painted as something good but the game does make sure you understand why the empire would do such a thing, namely to keep humanity from destroying itself through wars. Interestingly here, i find the h scene to, while personally not my fetish in the slightest, really reinforce the world building, they actually show what happens to slaves that disobey and give you good reasons to avoid a bad end. Interestingly enough you actually get a chance to physically destroy the place said bad end takes place in later in the story, which i have to say i've never seen in a game before but it's a very neat touch --SPOILERS END-- In the end demon roots, though not perfect in every possible way, isn't an h game, it's a story first, and that story takes priority over everything else, but it's done in such a way that i find myself enjoying even the less refined parts like the combat simply because the story makes it interesting, it gives you reasons to fight hard and be invested. In fact i feel like if this game was in any other engine it wouldn't work as well, cause rpgmaker lets you use your own imagination to add to the action given it's limitations 10/10, genuinely the best game i've played in years

  Imagine randomly "acquiring" an H-rpgmaker game expecting to have a rub or two and then ending up with one of the best if not the best JRPG you've played. That's exactly what happened with me and I'd never forgive myself if I didn't buy it just to support the developers. I'm not even finished with the game yet but I've already enjoyed this more than my old favorite JRPGs like Final fantasy 7 and 9. If I can convince at least even one person to try this game then I've done my part. Strong setting, characters and soundtrack and specially story. EDIT:// I've finished the game. Honest contender for my game of the year. You did everything you could. Have a good rest and enjoy the world you've fought so hard for with the princess. Note:// Steam version seems to be censored and has some free(?) items that you shouldn't have when you start according to some reviews. Check for other ways to buy/acquire uncensored ver/patch.

  Game is really good. Not "Good for an H-Game". I mean it's really, actually good. The story manages to be absolutely insane while still coherent and well-written. The characters are so lovable (and the villains so PUNCHABLE) that you absolutely do not want to lose even though it is ostensibly the point. An absolute must-play if you like h-games or story-rich RPGs. Just be aware that it is Dark with a capital D.

  I picked this up out of curiosity after I saw a comment on reddit saying how good the story and writing are. Surely this RPG-maker eroge game can't be THAT good, can it? A little over a week and 40 gameplay hours later, this is now one of my favorite RPGs ever. The writing and narrative lived up to the hype, the cast was excellent, the soundtrack was a banger, and the ending nearly had me in tears. This is not just a top-tier eroge game, this is a top-tier JRPG. If you like turn-based JRPGs, you should get this. Weakest points are probably gameplay (not bad but pretty standard turn-based RPG-maker stuff) and, funnily enough, the eroge. Also, make sure to get the patch from the Kagura Games website even if you don't wanna see 18+ scenes. It fixes a lot of stuff.

  It's hands down one of the best RPGs I have ever played in my life. You can head in with high expectations and they will be met. Please give this game a try if you love JRPGs. I played NieR: Automata for the first time about a month ago and for a while I was scared. Scared that no games would be able to top it and to deeply touch me again. I was wrong... It's difficult to find the perfect words to describe how incredible Demons Roots was. You can feel all the passion the dev put into this world, this story and all its characters. Took me about 78 hours to complete, I was thorough. The world was big and varied, its maps filled with secrets. All the characters were loveable, especially the main protagonist. She is strong but you better be just as strong as her if you want to get through her moments of weakness. I don't wanna spoil anything so I won't talk in detail about the many companions you'll meet. Just know that they all interact with each other a LOT and that's something I really enjoy in these types of games. They all have their own quirks, goals and dreams and they all stayed relevant throughout the whole game. Music was great, there's quite a few bangers that I can't stop listening to on repeat now that I've finished the game. Combat was interesting to figure out. Normal encounters were bland but you can skip them (dodging enemies on maps), there's only random encounters in optional areas (they're not too long so it's fine). Many bosses were interesting and challenging. Game was overall decently easy but mostly because I think the main tank is incredibly strong, especially once you figure out how to build her. Lots of gear and accessories to find so min-maxing for the lategame stuff was enjoyable. And finally, the H-content. It's there. You'll have some during the main story but most of it is in two optional areas. Don't judge a book by its cover. I know this is a hentai RPG maker game and that it's a big turn off for many people but I assure you that if you can get past that, you'll discover an incredible story and RPG experience. A true hidden gem. The Steam reviews convinced me to give it a try and I am thankful to all of you who posted well written positive reviews. Thank you all for taking the time to write them and help me discover Demons Roots and thank you Akai Mato for making it. If my review manages to convince a single person to buy this game, I will be glad.
