Let's Play DramaraQuest V! part 4

This is a continuation of my playthrough of the DramaraQuest V hentai parody JRPG of Dragon Quest 5.  The first part is here.

After escaping the second village with Bianca in the lead, we’re finally allowed out into the big wide world.  I predict much throwing of Luka-clone beneath the busty globes of various lusty monster girls.  Sorry dude, nothing personal, I have readers to think of.  It won’t be so bad.  This isn’t Violated Hero or Monster Girl Quest.  I’m pretty sure the cute monster girls are not going to eat you.

There are a bunch of different monster sprites roaming around.

Taking a step outside of the game, I wasn’t sure how to handle this for the playthrough.  With games like VH and MGQ most of the fun is seeing what bonkers things the monster girl does to us in the Bad End scenes.  While DramaraQuest is creative in how it converts the regular monsters of Dragon Quest into sexy monster girl equivalents, the Bad End scenes are fairly limited.  It’s the same moves as from the ‘fight’, but with the addition of a Press to Ejaculate button.  The dialogue is mostly the same, so if I tried to write it up in the same detail as I did for Violated Hero, it would start to get very repetitive very quickly.

In the new area the new encounters are:

Green worm (looks like a lamia on the map, but is some kind of caterpillar girl).

Plot Rabbit (although doesn’t have the rabbit ears you’d expect for a bunny girl).

Weasel (with a weasel-snake wrapped around her like a boa).

Over the bridge is a green slime girl.  I was expecting her to be a palette-swapped version of the blue slime, given how heavily the first DramaraQuest game leaned on that.  This time the makers are less lazy and we get different artwork.  She’s more curvy and gloopy.  I’m guessing this is the monster-girl-arized version of Bubble Slime.  She even has a poison/aphrodisiac attack.

Unfortunately the lack of creativity in the Bad End scenes becomes apparent again.  In other games this would be where the brave hero gets a sexy glooping.  DramaraQuest has a disembodied penis randomly poke in the direction of where a vagina might be.  It doesn’t really work.

After bonking everything in sight it’s time to take Luka-clone off to the spooky castle, which I’ll cover next time.

(Yes, this is short post.   I’m experimenting with shorter and more frequent updates.)

Let's Play DramaraQuest V! part 3

When I picked up DramaraQuest V and blasted through half of it (while making notes) in one night, I did think this was one playthrough (1st part is here new visitors) I’d be able keep to a regular, maybe daily, schedule.  Hmm, last week didn’t quite work out that way.  Let’s see if we can get back on track this week (with this and other writing!)

Last off we were dragged out of the first dungeon after receiving a sexy malleting by our friendly neighbourhood soldier.

Back in the cave we find some stairs down to level two.  The first encounter is a new monster girl.  She looks very succubus-y.

I might have ‘thrown’ this fight as well.

I suspect our friendly neighbourhood solider might be starting to get a little suspicious.

Down on level two of the caves I do a bit of exploring and the trigger event is in the southwest corner.  There’s a girl sprite with blue hair with a pink bow in it.  A soldier runs past us, leading me to believe this will be the first boss fight.  We can’t explore elsewhere and come back because there’s some odd pheromones preventing us from leaving.

Well, I was sure this was going to be a boss fight, but it ends up being a H-scene.  I think the girl might be the adult version of Flora from the boat.  Machine translation doesn’t help here.

After doing the deed the girl fades away.

There’s a big rock in the cave.  I have no idea what to do with it, same as I have no idea how I’m supposed to reach the boat on the first level of the cave.  Maybe they’re just decoration.

Back to exploring the caves and there isn’t much else apart from another one of the mallet girls chasing a girl in a bug costume.

Back out of the cave and there’s the obligatory JRPG flail around while I try and figure out who to talk to in order to advance the story along.  This time it’s the innkeeper.  He tells us to get some rest for the night and the next morning Pops is back to drag everyone off to the next village to drop some medicine off.

The game is still on rails apart from the talk-to-everyone-in-the-village bits.

When we get control back Bianca, the innkeeper’s daughter is tagging along.  This is going to make the hentai battles a little awkward – “Look away fair innkeeper’s daughter while the debauched monster girl with the huge boobies sucks me off.”

There are no battles for the moment as we’re still trapped in the village.  Lots more blah blah blah while I try to find the next trigger person.  Most of them tell me snippets about a castle and a ghost, which I assume is the next dungeon.  The trigger to advance the story appears to be talking to a group of three children.  After that talk Bianca suggests going back to the inn for the night.

Bianca wakes us in the middle of the night.  Everyone in the village is asleep, most importantly the soldier guarding the entrance, so finally it’s time to go exploring and enter the world map.  Come back next time to see what perverse perils await our intrepid hero out in the big world. 

Let's Play DramaraQuest V! part 2

Hmm, a little later than planned - some real life turmoil to sort out at the moment.

This is part two of my playthrough of monster girl hentai game, DramaraQuest V.  Part 1 can be found here.

After Luka-clone is stickily molested by the slime girl, we wake up in the hut by the sea none the worst for wear (and possibly with a big grin).  After a swift rematch it’s time to march off into the great wide . . .

Or apparently not.  Pops rushes out and drags us off to the next village.

Aw Dad, we’re 18 now (okay, I’m not totally sure on this, but I’m going to treat it as such otherwise all the sexy snu-snu starts to feel a little icky.  We’re here for the monster girl boobies after all).  We can go out on our own.

Pops doesn’t seem to think so.  He drags us all round the village to introduce us to everyone.  Family visits in the game world are just as much as a drag as they are in real life.  Then the daughter of the innkeeper, Bianca, drags us upstairs and shows him a book full of naughty pictures.  The rest is predictable . . .

Hmm.  That never used to happen to me on family visits.

The protagonist of DramaraQuest 1 had a girl in every town if I remember correctly.  I suppose it makes a change from running away from the girls that want to have sex with you.

Then we get control back and it’s time for the usual JRPG chore of running around the village talking to everyone.

Churches tell you how much XP is required for the next level (I think this is a feature of the original Dragon Quest series).

North of the village a river enters a cave.  The right side is blocked off by a dude in the doorway to house full of books.  The left side is open.  Taking a peek in reveals the first monster visible is a slime girl.  This is one upgrade from the first game.  Rather than the black clouds or circular portraits we get little chibi sprites of the monster girls roaming the land.  As it’s a slime girl, I’m guessing this is the next dungeon to visit, but I’ll walk around the rest of the village first.

The exit out of the village is blocked by a soldier, so I guess the only thing to do is enter the cave.  Looks like we’re on rails for now.

Time for a new monster and she looks a little prickly.  Thorn girl.  Are you about to go all Violated Hero on us here, DramaraQuest?  Nope, no THORN PUSSY! in the Bad End.  DramaraQuest is a lot more vanilla than other monster girl games.  The monster girls are largely ‘animal ears’ monster girls (normal hot babes in a monster girl costumes that are discarded when it’s time for the fucky-fucky).

For thorn girl we need to use that magic spell to remove her undies.  As with most of these games, get their HP down below half and the tits come out.

Some observations on the main screen menu options after the battle:  Masturbating (1st option) restores HP.  Going to the recollection room (3rd option) causes wandering mooks to respawn.

A little deeper and it’s monster girl number 3.  It’s a crazy girl in an executioner’s hood and armed with a mallet . . . with a sex toy in it.

Fair play, that’s imaginative.  I’m guessing she’s the monster-girl-erized version of this fella:

This is one of the fun things about the DramaraQuest games – seeing how they'd converted some of the weirder Dragon Quest monsters into monster girls.

Hammergal puts her mallet to good use in the fight and carries on using it in the Bad End.  After giving us a proper malleting she moves onto the fucky-fucky until our hero collapses in happy exhaustion.

Insert obligatory "Hammer time!" reference

There doesn’t appear to be any cost to throwing these ‘fights’.  A friendly neighbourhood soldier drags you out of the caves after the monster girl has had her naughty way with you.

Hmm, in that case I might as well go back in and throw a few more ‘fights’.

Come back next time as we penetrate deeper into this dark, wet cave (oo er, missus).

Let's Play DramaraQuest V! part 1

Okay-dokey.  Time to check out the new DramaraQuest.

Rather confusingly, it seems to be called DramaraQuest 5 despite being the second instalment in the DramaraQuest series.  DramaraQuest is a porn parody of the DragonQuest series of JRPGs, so I’m guessing the reason for the odd numbering is because this is a porn parody of the 5th game in that series.  I know of the original series, but have only played DragonQuest IX on a DS emulator (and was impressed with the storytelling).  DragonQuest has the legendarily innuendo-tastic puff-puff attack – something I’ve previously exploited/corrupted in one of my own erotica stories.

As always, the first issue is setting AGTH up to be able to hook the text correctly so it can be passed to a machine translator.  Checking the ulmf forums suggests this hook code:
/c1250 /X3 /W1 /kf64:16 /ks1

This gives a ton of options in the AGTH dropdown box.  One of them looks similar to the text on screen.  Not that machine translation actually helps that much with the three options I’m presented.  The 1st seems to start the game.

Then there’s more fiddling around to find a configuration that finds the right text and doesn’t duplicate or lose any of the characters (even after all this fiddling about we still get such machine-translation delights as “Japanese spaniel refuse” – and to think Elon Musk was warning us all about the dangers of AI a week or so ago.  I think the sun blowing up might get us before the machines do, Elon).

First option is to pick a name, and we can type this one in.  What to name?  What to name . . .

Yeah, there was only ever one choice.

The game starts with a needless little scene about the hero being born.  I’m assuming it’s only here to mirror the events of the original DragonQuest 5.

Then the game begins proper with us running around a ship in an attempt to find the one person that will trigger the next event.

Okay, let’s check out the menu options.

The 1st one sounds suspiciously like the protagonist is taking a wank.

The 2nd one looks like a monsterpedia.

The 3rd one carts us off to an underground cavern.

Ah, I remember this from the first DramaraQuest.  This is the room where you replay monster girl battles and Bad Ends.  So, monsterpedia: 3D version with extra smut-o-vision.

The 4th brings up a list with one item at the top – “Let’s translate this.”  Nope, no clue.

The 5th appears to be the Save option.

Okay, let’s get horny Luka-clone off this boat and laid.

It’s the usual for JRPGs – run around and find the right person to talk to.  The ship docks and then a girl with blue hair and a pink bow appear.  Flora – love interest?

Or rather bonk interest.  Lusty Luka-clone doesn’t waste much time in giving her a good bonking in her room.  That appears to be the event that unlocks the next area as the ship goes away and leaves us behind in a hut by the sea.

Then it’s off to the world map.  The way north is blocked by a slime girl.  Have ‘at ‘er, Luka-clone.

Let’s take a look at the combat options.

1.  Attack.  Or rather, Insert Cock as this is a battle-fuck game.

2.  Magic.  There is an option that does nothing when selected.  I think this removed clothes in the previous game.  Not much use against blue slime here as she’s already in her birthday suit.

3.  Defend.  Or rather, Do Nothing and see what naughty-sexy attacks the monster girl has.

4.  The ever-popular Surrender and let her bonk your brains out option.

5.  The ubiquitous and dull Run Away option.

There is a bit of pseudo-animation.  As with the previous game it’s simple movements and distortions of the base sprite.  It’s still quite effective, although not as good as the animations of games like ROBF or Erotical Nights.

I force Luka-clone to sit still and let the slime girl have her way with him.  The Bad End is more jiggling of her sprite and textual taunting as she gets our willy in her pussy and milks us until her belly goes white.

That’ll do for part one.  I’ll carry on from where I left off tomorrow (or maybe the day after)
