Sacred Sword Princess (SSP) Review.

Sacred sword princess is a free to play hentai game that is ported from the nutaku version. A mobile version of SSP can be found on nutaku as well and an safe for work google play port of SSP will someday be ported to mobile.

The good,

1) The game is free to play, the game is not merely a symbol manipulation game like cookie clicker or turn based RPGs like most final fantasy games. There is skill based combat in SSP where you do control your character with your mouse you can also use a controller, you can have the game auto play for you making the game seem very casual however you can have full control over the game movement and you will preform much better manually controlling the girls than only playing on auto. The game is mainly a numbers game, most of the time the girl with the higher number wins but some of the time different builds for example graces life steal, Ortys SP regen, ranged characters dodging melee attacks etc, can beat higher ranked builds, and some skill in modes like raids, tower of trials, event missions make this more than a pure numbers game however a low rank girl will have no chance of beating a much higher ranked girl so some RNG, and numbers get in the way of this being a skill based action RPG.

2) The story of this game is alright, having played the better nutaku port that already has more content I can tell what will be in the story in advance and it’s a decent porn game story, the English isn’t perfect it could be improved but I can at least understand what they are saying, the devs should consider adding workshop language support to improve the translations. But this is a porn game and as John Carmack once said "Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important." How good is the hentai? I would say its decent, they are not animated much, it looks alright, not as good as the content in nutakus other game Kamihime PROJECT, but I found the gameplay in that game not as much fun as the gameplay in SSP.

3) The soundtrack, and art is decent, could have been better could have been much worse, some music themes loop way too much, the game runs in unity so the 3D aspects of it look like unity stuff with above average textures, the live 2D stuff looks really good, it could have been used better as it hardly stands out but its much better than flat 2D animations.

4) The games multiplayer is fun you can create or join a league, have friends assist you in missions, and host and join raids where 4 people can play in a live raid match. It’s fun to do raids with other people as girls can use support skills. Raids are the most unstable part of the game and you will have a the most issues with this part of the game but fortunately you can do raids solo if you can beat the raid boss on your own or with the help of NPCs/bots. The game has better mechanics than most games do on the market and if you used to play other free to play games but got sick of them or ran out of content you might really like SSP over more basic free to play games.

The bad,

5) The port quality, if you have ever played SSP on nutaku and are wondering if you would want to play the steam port of SSP, things to point out, all your data on your account from the nutaku version is only on the nutaku port, this is a new server of SSP much behind the nutaku version with fewer players, the game crashes MUCH more than the nutaku version, thankfully the crashes wont break your game but in a competitive game like SSP where devs give out gems to players when they patch the game and do maintenance, this port crashing so much on multiple different computers and people who had the nutaku version crashing rarely, so this port is simply terrible. If your competitive and you want to get an early start and you don’t mind a few crashes ever hour it won’t bother you but if you hate when games crash and you don’t want to mess around with buggy ports, get the nutaku version or just wait a while until they get the port to crash 1/10 times as often as it does now like the game should run. The port NEEDS to be improved. EDIT ( the game has been out for quite a while and the port still needs work. I will update when SSP is more playable than it is now.)

6) The gatcha’s, the microtransaction’s, the prices, the drop rates are all flawed and could be improved, you can play the game without spending any real money, I never spent a dime when I played the nutaku version, and I was able to be one of the top 1000 players however this steam ports prices are worse than the nutaku games prices. The nutaku version used nutaku gold and buying some of that was much cheaper than the high USD only prices. Why do they not have other currency? The developers must not understand western markets very well if 6000 gems are worth 40 USD, the nutaku gold price was much much lower for a 6000 gem roll. The game will take lots of time to catch up to people who spend money to rank up (whales) but in a game like this you can. In the trade off between time, money or skill, the game values money the most, then time then skill. At least the game does value skill and if you understand the games mechanics and commit enough time you can beat every challenge without spending money. The drop rates in the game should be more generous, there should be some gem gatchas where you have a low chance to get any item. You can earn many gems without spending money fortunately.

To Conclude, SSP has some real flaws, the microtransaction’s, the game is about having the bigger numbers, the poor drop rates, the port right now is really bad, the developers need to do the prices better like the better nutaku version, I think the game is alright and having played the nutaku version I am sure the game will get better prices and better performance. If this game sounds like fun to you you can play it despite the flaws or just play the best version of the game. If the steam port allows you to invite people to join your game though the steam client and adds more steam features like workshop support, in a few months the steam version could be better than the nutaku port.

Do I recommend you get this game? Yes its free so nothing lost trying it out, but you could become addicted to the microtransaction’s if you don’t have a strong will power. I don’t suggest you buy the microtransaction’s, you don’t need to.

I'm not that keen on all the new stuff. I don't play it regularly any more - just check every few months to see if a new section is available. I do want to see how the story ends though. I'm split between it all being a dream, the protagonist goes back home (my preferred ending) or staying in Misgard

it may not come out until months or years later. check if its out on other platforms and if not it may not have been made yet. if you saw enough to see the quality go down than there isnt much left i guess.

The main problem I have with SSP is new story content takes months to come out, and still waiting for the next area

i was not paid to write this. i just wrote this review not long asfter the games relese on steam as i played other versions first. i dont play SSP games much and i played the version of this game that came out first on nutaku not steam the steam port is lacking what both the moble and nutaku port have. this verison last i checked is still missing content from other versions. the game is full if grinding and yeah i said nutaku a ton of times i could have been more consise but i consider nutaku to be the publishers and the website that hosted the best port of the game. i think the game is decent but not great, it can be fun but it is pay to win in some aspects. i think i said that they developed the game when it was someone else.

"This person was paid by the developer to create this review but neglected to include said disclosure in the review itself"
Also you said 'nutaku' 19 times in the review. Just saying wtf.

Ok, so basically it's a numbers game and all about gacha. Meaning you get 1-2 free scenes to hook you and all the other CGs are locked behind inhumane grind or cash. Call me crazy, but that doesn't sound like a good proposition for an H-Game

Yes - I use the Nutaku version. Good to see the Steam version has all the sex scenes :)

It sounds like it's been re-written for Steam for some reason, rather than just using the original...
likejagger5 Dec 15, 2019 @ 10:16am 
the nutaku version has all of that content. it has most of them and despite this being a steam port I am surprised it even has any of it.
Sku;Te Dec 11, 2019 @ 8:15am 
Does this version contain all the sex scenes ?
