Niplheim's Hunter - Branded Azel

Hello, the publisher, HappyHand here.

Here's some basic info about the game since the description at the top doesn't really have much written in it:

The game is 100% uncensored.
All H-scenes are fully voiced in Japanese.
Base CGs: 34 (~600 images in total)
H-Scenes: +30
Battle Fucks: 15 (H-Scenes are counted separately, so +45 scenes in total)
The game only supports a 960x720 resolution, I suggest playing in windowed mode.

I hope you have fun playing Niplheim's Hunter!

I'm glad you guys could release this game on Fakku! As an anti-censorship gamer, i'm very angry Valve asked you to censor your game for a character who doesn't even look like a loli (to me, at least). Be sure to publish Black Train's other games on Fakku as well, uncensored of course. :)

After playing this game three times I would say it’s pretty good for what it is, it reminds me of the old gameboy rpg format.

Most of the erotic aspects of this game are good, but not noteworthy. The art is excellent, some of the best out of most games I've seen in my personal opinion, but the designs for the enemies can get repetitive and the CGs are fine but not all that standout, mostly just making par. The story is, as one might expect, incredibly shallow and uninteresting, though it thankfully does not take up much time.

Bizarrely enough, this game's greatest strength is the gameplay. It is simple enough to understand, straightforward turn-based combat, but has an incentive to keep grinding in the various outfits than one can acquire through defeating certain enemies. The sharp art style is appealing enough and the gameplay loop is given thought enough that you'll find yourself feeling strangely compelled to collect all of the outfits available, and to do so acquire the various skills that help tremendously with this quest. I could continue on this path basically for forever, so I will simply leave this at the gameplay being shockingly well developed and the glue that makes this game good.

There is a wide variety of fetishes available here and you're almost certain to find one you enjoy, but purists and/or hardcore vanilla lovers should be warned that this comes at the cost of the female protagonist, the only character that matters in a game like this, being incredibly horny at all times and willing to fuck anyone/everything. I don't imagine this being a problem for most people in the way it is handled, but if this sounds like something you might be wary of then I would recommend airing with caution.

Overall, a pretty good title but one whose strengths might not be worth it to some and whose female lead might be a turnoff to others as well. If nothing I have said sounds like a turnoff, or if any of it sounds fun, buy instantly because this will probably be one of your favorites.

Love Kagura games this is no exception. great battle system, great H-scenes and great story. The game is predictable at times but I really liked the story specially at the end. the game is short and you can easily get all scenes, they even tell you the requirements for each scene.

The game is not difficult only at the beginning, but you die all the times you want without penalty, every monster has an H-scene and when it happens Azel can't move for some turns, but as you progress in the game and get more skills and also more levels that becomes irrelevant.

The game is enjoyable so I recommend this game for anyone who likes rpg games.

A very nice game. Story is short, but there is a lot of H-Scenes.

Combat is really easy, so you might want to up the difficulty.

As above as below. The story isn't terribly complicated or lengthy, but the lewd scenes along side the great artwork evens it out in my opinion.

Solid gameplay is also a plus so yeah... This one is a buy if you're into it. I'd still recommend it as a sale purchase if you're on the fence about it.

I won't be talking about the H scenes here as I'd rather focus on the other elements of the game, just know the H stuff is quite good.

I had a great time exploring the areas of the game fighting all the different types of monsters, battles are quite fun even though the turn based combat doesn't do much to be innovative, it does have one big flaw though. If you boost you luck stat for a while you can absolutely trivialize every fight as you'll dodge nearly every attack. The graphics are simple but very pleasant, I feel that some may not like the graphics however I adore pixelart and quite like the look of this game. The story is alright, it's enough to keep you playing especially since the gameplay is very fun even after you break the battle system with the luck stat. For 20 dollars I'd say you'll get good value and fun from this game especially if you enjoy some actually gameplay and exploration in your H games. The only real weaknesses are the possibly repetitive battles, possibly the graphics depending on your tastes and the story mostly being used as an excuse for sex instead of sex being more naturally implemented in a way that enhances the plot (that can be done). Good game!

I was able to fap a couple time but dosent have as much CG cuts as i would have liked

Great story (and dlc), good game mechanics. Well done art. I had a great time playing this game!

It's okay, it's well done but not overly complicated.

Its a chill game, you unlock H-scenes as you interact with different enemies and armors. The H-scenes were ok. The art is enjoyable and the design for the main heroine is cute. The game ocationally had neat minigames that kept some H scenes interesting.

I like the premise but overall the story is kinda weak. I felt like the endings were just kinda ubupt and that all the characters were flat. The unlockable outfits are cute but I was disappointed with the amount you can get.

You can grind through most of the content in 2-3 hours. Honestly I min-maxed my stats in favor of the attack stat and I one shot everything before I took damage. There's also a bunch of items you can buy? But you don't actually need them? I don't think I used anything more the regular heal button. Why do I need potions and food? Each location also just seems like a pallet swapped version of the last. Idk... the gameplay felt lacking. It's stupid easy and pretty grindy.

The bonus game is fun but also really easy. Beat that in less then an hour.

I think it's a fun game to play through once. Definitely look into it. I'll probably never replay it tho.

Oh and I encountered a bug where if you ever go under your HUD you never come back.

Another great game published by Kagura!

Lets first get the combat out of the way, its actually quite simple and easy to breeze through. It doesn't feel unecessary like a lot of other similar games and isn't overly grindy. In fact its fits in nicely with the story and H-scenes as it comes with a lot of unique animation.

The artwork is great and the game gives you a ton of options to customize your character throughout the game. Each of her outfits look amazing.
This is one of those games that will make you want to hunt for every scene, I don't remember a single one I didn't enjoy.

10/10

For some reason the game crashes on me whenever a scene is supposed to play. Does anyone know how to fix that?

How do we get the new dlc? I tried downloading at Kaguragames site but it said steam ver only.

Is the DLC in this?

Just finished the game, and I can certainly say--- it lacks quite a lot of things.
Like firstly, the H-scenes. Compare the H-scenes here with Slave Sword, and Branded Azel's H-scenes looked like wholesome. In Slave Sword, each enemy gets their own cutscenes, breaking or making Luna Ashley in the process.
Here, Azel can't even "break", she's more 2D-character, when Luna is a dynamic 3D (crap 3D character I know, but good enough for hentai) here. What makes Luna charming is her strong will against her downward spiral, and you just wanna break her more that way. For Azel, you juz wanna play this game because you spend already $20 on this.

Weirdly, it's the battle interface that has more thought put into it: is this a misfire? Like we play H-games for the H, not for the high fantasy elements. Night roaming has H-events but again, it's a bit...just there. You're not "included" with the scene. In Slave Sword, you decide Luna's fate. Here, you're just watching it, you gain these lewd points and then--- nothing, really.

All in all, I don't know what this game is for? It certainly feels wholesome for a hentai game. The drawing is way nicer than Slave Sword though, Azel has sexier armpits than Luna.
Branded Azel is bit good. Not bad. But would I recommend it? Not really, unless you have a $20 lying around, then yeah, your killing.
My rating for Branded Azel: 5/10

Question, does this have the DLC and also, is there any word on if the previous game in this series will be released? Branded Azel - Lust Brand Prostitute? I've played the demo and want to buy it, but if it doesn't have an English menu, I'm hosed.

I've heard talk of a prequel and another game Black Train was working on, are you going to be the one working with them to publish those as well??

i love games that mixes h scenes and game play, any other games like these?

I am in LOVE with this game. I'm enjoying it a lot so far. The only thing I wish I could do is figure out a way to get this on a mobile device. This is an awesome game and you got a customer for life. I love the fact that the RPG elements in this game are quite solid as well as the ecchi scenes. THIS is exactly what I'm talking about when I say adult games. Thank you for this and please keep up the good work!

I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by this game. I expected it to be much more simplistic, but there's actually a proper weapon and armor system (with upgrades), leveling with stats customization, and loot drops from mobs (which you use to improve the aforementioned weapons and armor).

My main complaint is that the game only has one difficulty setting, and it gets ridiculously easy after you've cleared the first area. It would be nice to have a "hard" difficulty option to force you to strategize more and manage the lust/skill tradeoff effectively. It'd also be nice to have a skill to instantly raise her lust to 100 so you don't have to just sit there holding Enter on Defense Mode forever.

Overall, I really enjoyed this game, and it's well worth the $20 price tag. I hope HappyHand and Black Train translate the previous Branded Azel game (as well as Black Train's other works).

Cant find Game.dat how do i fix this problem?

"A Honest Review"- By a lazy creator.
I'm going to be dead honest here my expectations- Extreme Low
Every Hentai game I have played has been a short unhappy story with pictures, a unfinished product with a broken demo, a game built in a day with an insane price tag or a crappy RPG maker game. The only ones I have found so far that are great sold finished games that have taken my expectations and dropped a nuke on them are far and in-between. That said this game has certainty made that list! Opinion - Buy it

This game was enjoy, short, but enjoyable. If the developer ever wants to make a follow up, I'd liked like to see them add some yuri H events with both human and demon characters.

It was okay. Nothing really stood out for me, so I probably won't play it again. I guess all of the good comments made my expectations high.

This is one of the best releases you've done Fakku!
Great work, everyone involved!

This is the 2nd ero game I have ever bought (first one being Honey Select Unlimited), and I have to say I'm amazed at the work done on the UI. I bought it on a whim after seeing the artwork thumbnails, I first thought it'd be some basic RPG maker style game, but I got surprised! I love this game! <3 Both the RPG part and hentai part are great :D
Great work!

How do I get past the first hunting area? :(

Grabbed it as well. Still not full uncensored though ? https://i.imgur.com/KygqBIe.png . Minor detail but still :P I assume the in-field scenes are like that by default (cut at the leg and hidden behind bush).

And bought ðŸ˜
