Game of the Month - ReBless Zwei R

A hentai game without the hentai? It’s more likely than you think!  

ReBless Zwei R follows in the tradition of many classic hentai games, in that there’s a “PG-13” version and a “can’t show this in theaters!” version. If you’re reading this, that first one probably doesn’t matter to you – after all, this is a hentai blog! But it’s important to know this going in, because DMM’s latest is a lot more than your average eroge export. Beneath the hot n’ heavy sex with cheeky dragon girls and cat ladies is a compelling game you can enjoy even without all the nastiness. (Trust us, it’s possible!) Going a step further, it’s an ambitious experiment for mobile sex games: making a compelling product that even mainstream audiences can enjoy.

ReBless Zwei R puts its best foot forward on that front, with an epic fantasy JRPG story that’ll keep you grinding (in more ways than one) into the wee small hours of the morning. You’re cast as the Master Brave, a tactician charged with commanding an army of six young women against the forces of evil. The forces in question are arch-demons – powerful and corrupt creatures that will stop at nothing to destroy the Human Realm. In order to drive them out, you’ll have to embark on a grand quest with your eclectic gang of warriors and be the light that pushes out the demons’ darkness.

To do that, you’ll fight through a series of traditional JRPG battles that run automatically.  Before each fight, you’ll power up your squad and get them in tip-top demon slaying shape, then set up your party’s positions – kind like a classic DRPG! From there, the fight begins and your girls get to work. It’s up to you, as their commander, to trigger their specials at the right time, and to pay attention to enemy weaknesses early on. While the first bit of the game is a bit of a breeze, the difficulty does ratchet up eventually, and you want to make sure you’ve got the mechanics drilled into your brain by that point.

And speaking of drilling, your team will need a little extra TLC if you want them to be their very best! Remember how I mentioned the “can’t show this in theaters!” version of ReBless Zwei R? That’s what you’ll be working with here, and if you want to tap into your girls’ inner strength, you’ll need to boost their confidence by tapping them in kind. For each girl, you’ll want to make sure you pay close attention to their Favor meter in their bio. This is represented by a small heart, which gradually fills the more you play the story and fulfill certain conditions. Once it’s full, click on it and see if the girl is ready for a few private training sessions to help her get on top.

(Or maybe you’ll be the one on top! You’ll just have to find out, huh…?)

This method of unlocking sex scenes feels nice, and less like the game is corralling you towards each sequence. Much like a certain RPG about three houses, these intimate moments feel mostly tucked away from the story, and are a nice compliment to the main dish. The sex scenes here are beautiful – the girls are shiny, busty, and soft like the very best hentai designs – but they’re absolutely not the main focus here. That’s why you can technically play this game without the porn: the devs worked really hard on making a compelling gacha RPG, and they don’t want you to just grind it out for quick porn. These are characters you build a bond with throughout your quest, and that makes these scenes feel more special.

ReBless Zwei R is a game for RPG veterans and gacha fans alike. It’s a deep game without the hardcore hentai scenes (of which there are plenty, trust me,) but with them, it’s one of those rare experiences that anyone could come away from happy. Plus, if you’re a newbie to these sorts of games, those scenes are a great motivator to dive in and see what these sorts of mobile JRPGs are all about. Who knows – they might just be your new favorite thing!

A fleshed-out, flesh-filled fantasy, ReBless Zwei R brings the best of mainstream mobile games and Nutaku’s reputation for top-notch illustrated smut together for an addictive package you don’t want to miss. The game is available now on the Nutaku Store for Android and PC!
