  • story
    94 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is generally regarded as above average, featuring a straightforward yet engaging narrative centered around a priestess on a mission to spread her faith and rescue a friend. While some players appreciate the self-aware humor and multiple endings based on player choices, others find the plot predictable and the character development lacking. Overall, the story is considered a strong point of the game, with enough depth and twists to keep players interested, despite some critiques of its simplicity and reliance on common tropes.

    • “The game does let you choose how to play it and the story changes slightly based on your decisions.”
    • “The story premise is a tale of purity vs. corruption, with a number of twists to evil vs good.”
    • “The story is captivating and the skill and battle system is really solid for a game like this.”
    • “We're left with a standard trope story (even if it's sometimes self-aware), erotic content that isn't particularly noteworthy (a couple good moments, a few bad, mostly meh), and subpar JRPG play.”
    • “There really isn't a story.”
    • “The main storyline is quite straightforward, much like most h-RPGs from Kagura, but there are also some predictable twists along the way.”
  • gameplay
    59 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in this game is a mix of standard RPG mechanics and unique features, such as a corruption system and various side activities like fishing and crafting, which enhance the overall experience. While some players appreciate the balance between gameplay and adult content, others find the mechanics inconsistent or lacking depth, particularly in combat and progression systems. Overall, the game offers a rewarding experience for those who enjoy both engaging gameplay and lewd elements, though it may not satisfy everyone due to its RPG Maker roots and occasional gameplay flaws.

    • “It strikes that perfect balance between actual gameplay and h-content where you can move between both seamlessly.”
    • “Gameplay itself is rewarding and fun.”
    • “When judged by gameplay alone, Ambrosia stands head and shoulders above most other games in its genre.”
    • “Instructions didn't match game behavior, and whole systems (such as gaining devotion, a primary game mechanic) don't work.”
    • “This is another impossible-to-complete game without the restoration patch, which I guess is unfortunate, but the gameplay itself is a little disappointing.”
    • “But they all end up playing pretty much identically, with the same old tropes and the same old bland ill-conceived gameplay.”
  • grinding
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game receives mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the ample opportunities for farming and leveling, others find it tedious and time-consuming, particularly when aiming for 100% completion or specific endings. Many note that the game can become grind-heavy, especially in the mid-game and post-game content, leading to frustration for those who prefer a more streamlined experience. Overall, the enjoyment of grinding seems to depend on individual player preferences and playstyles.

    • “It's not tedious; the areas are plentiful and come at a decent pace.”
    • “One of the best RPG Maker games ever made. It achieves what every game hopes for: fun combat that isn't too grindy, a nice environment, gorgeous graphics, and enjoyable situations to put your character in.”
    • “This requires a ton of grinding and, realistically, the only viable way to get the followers you need for better spells is to play as a turbo-sloot the whole time.”
    • “As it stands, stuff like fishing, crafting, and the dull grinding just seems a totally unnecessary and redundant waste of time.”
    • “The game will get grindy after a certain point, with enemies becoming too powerful, leading you to go through the same areas, cutting down slimes and other creatures to train.”
  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their high quality and appealing art style, with many reviewers noting the artwork as a standout feature. While some mention that the h-scenes are average compared to competitors, the overall visuals are described as gorgeous and well-executed, contributing positively to the game's immersive experience. However, a few critiques highlight that the detail may not match the highest standards in the genre, yet the game's engaging gameplay compensates for this.

    • “One of the best RPG Maker games ever made, what every game hopes to achieve: fun combat that isn't too grindy, a nice environment, gorgeous graphics, and fun situations to put your character in.”
    • “So good, this game has all the regular tropes from Kagura games, but the artwork is really well done and there's enough lead-in to keep things interesting for 10+ hours of gameplay.”
    • “It's nicely arranged, and the artwork is wonderful.”
    • “The artwork is average for the genre; it’s convincing and cute, but not quite as detailed or elaborate as in some of the competing games out there.”
    • “Graphically, the h-scenes are okay, nothing to write home about, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they're often incredibly hot.”
    • “The only thing that changes is the setting in which Flode gets assaulted by the nameless and faceless assailants, and the only other two characters in the entire game that get proper artwork don't even get scenes with Flode.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its enjoyable and relaxing soundtrack, enhancing the overall experience even when not actively playing. Players appreciate the diverse sounds and melodies, with some expressing regret over downloading a patch that may have altered the original audio quality.

    • “The relaxing soundtrack accompanying the story can be pleasing to listen to even when we are not playing.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its humor, featuring plenty of funny moments and quirky characters that create an endearing world. It effectively breaks the fourth wall and pokes fun at itself, adding a lighthearted touch to its otherwise familiar plot. Overall, the humor enhances the experience by preventing the game from taking itself too seriously.

    • “The game pokes fun at itself, breaks the fourth wall a couple of times through books that explain plot points and game mechanics, and the characters are pretty quirky and funny, making the world you inhabit endearing.”
    • “Plenty of funny moments, and post-game offers some sweet extras.”
    • “It was funny and didn't take itself too seriously, which is welcome, especially when dealing with a plot as overused as the corrupted priestess.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game excels in replayability, offering players the ability to customize combat difficulty and starting stats, as well as featuring multiple endings that encourage exploration of different playthroughs.

    • “Replayability: this is where I feel the game truly excels compared to others.”
    • “The game has great replayability with multiple endings.”
    • “Somewhat replayable since you can customize combat difficulty and starting stats.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been criticized for significant stability issues, including frequent bugs that cause characters and locations to disappear, as well as problems with the game returning to the title screen after completion. Despite downloading patches, players report that these issues persist, leading to a disappointing experience overall.

    • “The game seems buggy as hell, with people and locations disappearing or not appearing at all. I didn't even see any of the scenes in this, and even with the patch downloaded, it didn't seem to take effect. Beating the game just took me back to the title screen, and I don't see any option for New Game Plus or anything. Honestly, a letdown.”
    • “Decent game, but buggy as hell.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews highlight that the female protagonist's perspective offers a deeper and more nuanced character development, allowing players to engage with her complexities and moral dilemmas. This approach contrasts with traditional male protagonists, providing a unique experience of manipulation and corruption from a more intimate viewpoint.

    • “Playing from the female protagonist's perspective allows for a deeper exploration of her character development, making me feel like an evil god secretly corrupting and manipulating her.”
    • “The character development in this game is incredibly nuanced, providing a rich and immersive experience that keeps me engaged throughout.”
    • “I love how the characters evolve over time, with their backstories and motivations becoming more complex as the game progresses.”
    • “Instead of playing a male protagonist who engages in shallow relationships, playing from a female protagonist's perspective allows for a deeper exploration of her character development, as if I am an evil god secretly corrupting and manipulating her.”

    Users express a desire for emotionally uplifting experiences in games, seeking content that provides comfort and positivity, akin to "wholesome soul food."
