Less of an RPG and more of a dating sim with stabbing in it: Let's Play Loren the Amazon Princess!

Depending on how you look at it, Loren's either an RPG with a lot of cutscenes in it or a VN with a lot of combat in it or a dating sim with more plot and shanking than you'd expect. It's nothing too groundbreaking, but it's fun to play and fairly charming.

I will fully confess that I got it mostly because I like a.) dudes smooching each other and b.) ladies smooching each other, neither of which appear in this particular genre as often as I'd like. There's plenty of dude-lady smooches in here too, so no worries if that's your thing.

Introductions seem to be standard in one's first LP. My name's Foxfire, and I'm one of many folks who got dragged over here by means of Hatoful Boyfriend. I'm a student with too much time on my hands. If there's anything I can do to make said LP more enjoyable or less unenjoyable, just say the word.

EDIT: You know what the polite thing to do would be? Linking to the webpage. Winter Wolves does a lot of this sort of thing.

Now without further ado, Let's Play some LOREN THE AMAZON PRINCESS.



I am the monk. I am here to write a tale so epic that I cannot sleep until it is told.



Or rather, Let's Whip Through The Prologue So We Can Actually Play some LOREN THE AMAZON PRINCESS.



I like the fade-in effect there.







Every morning, the servants would mend the training equipment so that it may be destroyed again by their Princess's hand during the next training session.

One sword was not enough for this fierce warrior. No. She considered a shield dead weight and an empty hand a death wish. Princess Loren would only fight with a sword in each hand.



Presented without comment.

There are none left, my Grace.

She was displeased to learn that her training would end so early today. She crossed her arms and stared down her attending servants.



Establishing character moment: Loren is a tough warrior maiden and also kind of a butthead.

The slaves gulped in unison after having witnessed what damage their Princess could do.



There's a cool sound effect at this point. I am fond of griffons.

Just then, a messenger ran into the training grounds, panting for breath.

P-princess Loren! The Captain - she has returned! Alone, your Majesty!

Loren broke into a run.

Your Majesty…

Tell me.

A scout stepped forward and placed a hand over her heart in salute.

Queen Karen has been lost.



She disappeared into the night. As of now, we do not know what happened to her.

There's not a trace?

We searched high and low, your majesty. She is not in Amazon territory.

Then we have no choice in this matter. With the Queen lost, Princess Loren must become our new Queen.



Searching for her must be our top priority!





Her hard glare challenged anyone to say otherwise.



Here we learn about the menu. Track quests, shuffle inventory, ect.

Your Highness…

Breza looked conflicted.



What?

When you abandon the Citadel, you abandon your title… That is what the Great-Mothers dictated.



They shoot puppy eyes at each other for a moment here. It's pretty cute.

Then so it must be. I will find my mother by myself.

L-Loren!

Breza closed her mouth and looked to her side.



The amazons may not be able to help you, but…



The monk pauses for a moment, looking at was just written before continuing.

And that is how it all began…



Time to meet the protagonist! Or a selection thereof.



These two have more or less identical personalities and dialogue choices, but due to gender, race, and background, you'll get different reactions from time to time, especially in the romantic scenes. Each of 'em has two exclusive love interests, and even the ones that swing both ways have a few different scenes for variety.



Incidentally, there is an option to turn suggestive content on and off. This affects the costumes and one extended spicy scene with your endgame love interest later on which you can skip in any case. The LP so far has been featuring the less racy costumes so far, but if enough of you are up for it/not particularly against it, I'll switch over to the skimpier ones, which basically means that some of the suspiciously skintight spandexy bits on the lady torsos will be absent and more of the dudes will be topless.



I am uncommonly fond of Saren's ridiculous manservice peekaboo armor. It's rare to see a male character dolled up so impractically. He still comes out ahead of the poor ladies, though. I'd be more inclined to go for the censored option if Elenor and Loren got anything more practical or even a pair of pants. Leggings, even! Sure, it's nice and hot in the Citadel, but it looks so goshdarn drafty.

After that, we get to chose a class!





Behold the mind-boggling variety. BEHOLD IT.

There's a few scenes that change depending on class, but mostly that sort of thing depends on a choice that'll be coming in the next update.

VOTING TIME! Elenor or Saren, and Warrior or Thief. You may also state an opinion on how much shirt you want our heroes to have.

Thief Elenor with full clothing because the skimpy stuff looks stupid. How the hell does she hold her boobs in place with nothing but leather straps on the top? They look liable to fall out of her clothes at any moment.

Oh someone made a lp about this!
Uh, wouldn't it be better to be a warrior? You are stronger and less likely of dying (I played the demo)
I vote for Warrior.
And for Skimpier Clothes so that everyone can see how ridiculous it would be to fight like that! medioevale.gif

Looks like we're playing otome style! Thief Elenor takes the lead, as does the moderately sensible attire. This is fortunate, as the slightly more naked edition of her outfit looks like it chafes something fierce.



The sprites blink. Occasionally, this sort of thing happens.





Getting the tragic past out of the way at the start.



Elenor has an unusual attitude towards slavery for a fantasy protagonist.





Points for asking our opinion, minus points because we have a name thank you very much. Right then, let's get down to telling Loren just how completely awesome we are.

Ordinarily I'd optimize the stats, but this one's basically a background quiz. Fun for the whole family! Generally you can tell which option goes with which stat. For Elenor, Strength influences a third of her base attack, her hitpoints, and her stagger resistance. Skill is the most important for a thief. It goes into two-thirds of her attack, as well as speed, defense, and a bit of the magic stat. Will boosts magic, stamina points, defense, and magic defense.

The conversation flows pretty well into the next option no matter what you pick. Albeit not in this case since I'm cutting out the response text.

I know my way around a battlefield. For the last several annual Proving competitions, I have been sponsored to enter and have won many titles. For this year's Proving, I was granted top place in…



Not only has she demonstrated superior fighting ability, but she is extremely loyal. Tell them.

I was allowed the honor of accompanying my mistress to the tavern, where she was disrespected by several rude drunkards.



It is true. She respected her mistress deeply, as she will respect you. She did not fail to craft a present for her mistress for the Winter Solstice. Tell her, what was the last gift you made?



She received the gift very well and I was praised. I was happy just to give her a small emblem of her great strength and wisdom.

Unfortunately, even my mighty mistress was not invincible. She succumbed to a grave illness and in her last days, she called me to her side.



And her loyalty does not end there, your Highness. Elenor has demonstrated an act of a true servant of the Citadel.

I… was approached by another slave. They spoke of fantastic lands and cities, and life away from the citadel. I associated with this person to the point that he confided in me a plan to escape.



It will be a difficult loss to let go of our most prized slave… however, I will trust you with no one less, my Princess.

Some guy know told me that this game was " quite interessting for an otome VN, as a matter of fact" gosh, I can see what he meant here :D
Anyway I quite like Eleanor's sad/ concerned face, maybe I'll give a try to this game too, after the holidays
