    Domina will Break you.

    First Impressions: I've Had my fair share of RPGmaker Games but none as uniquely presented as this one. From the intro when making your character to Realms of the different Dominas you visit, to the Dominas themselves, the game drives home the existential dread you're supposed to feel that youre alone and nobody can help you and frankly It does it quite well. The Story is a rollercoaster(but in the good way) It keeps you engaged and wanting for more. It is filled with dark moments that will make you question your own humanity (some of them your choice some of them not) Overall First impressions were honestly great but thats to say the game doesnt have some problems but we'll get to that.

    Music & Sound: The music for the different Realms of The Dominas fit so well and they complement the personality of each of the Dominas very well like how Franscezka's Realm's theme makes you want to run batshit crazy and Mary's Realm's theme instigating authority e.t.c Unfortunately it suffers in sound design aspects like how the end batle theme is LITERALLY the default RPG maker victory music (NOTE THE DEVS CAN EASILY CHANGE IT!!!!) and some sounds being abnormally loud (THE FUCKING DEATH OF AN ENEMY SOUND MAKES ME WANT TO PULL MY HAIR OUT!!!!!!!). it also doesnt help that all the sounds used are all defaukt from the RPGmaker engine. On a norm this wouldnt be bad but unfortunately those sounds have been overused and just gave Domina that cheap feeling. Apart from that its okay not really anything special(the sound that is) its just mediocre.

    Character Art:
    The Art is pretty okay . Its not really anything special, its just average. i do like the variety in the different Domina designs but majority of them just come down to colour of hair,colour of what theyre wearing and colour of eyes to make them unique and stand out. E.g Did you know Katerina and Mary wear the same thing just with different colours? Some DO look good tho like Franzceska,Raa and Hora(young) all with designs matching their personalities and making them stand out. The Main Character looks like your run of the mill black haired protagonist but im guessing this is intentional. Overall they look okay not really bad or anything like that.

    Environmental Art: The Environments look stunning and it's very clear the Devs put a lot of thought into how each and every Domina's realm should look like and reflect the personality of said Domina. Raa is a Pharoah so her realm is literally an Egyptian catacomb, Mika And Maki's Realm (no more to say there), Franscezka is batshit crazy and her realm reflects that with the checkered floors and bait chests, Narcissa is the Domina of diseases so her realm has a sickly purple and a bunch of sickly trees and eggs e.t.c They are well done and i hope the dev keeps it up.

    Grammer: As I went through the game, i didnt notice any typos or grammatical mistakes (maybe im a dumbass and didnt notice) but as far as i could tell there were no grammatical/spelling mistakes (I dont know whether Franscezka is acc how you spell the name tho -_- )

    Amount Of Content: The Game is Long. It has 10+ hours of content but the thing is its prolly gonna take you more because of the fucking gameplay and grinding system of which ill be explaining in my next point.

    *THERE WILL BE STORY SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT!!!*

    Gameplay: Y'know I didnt really expect much from RPGmaker but JESUS CHRIST is it atrocious. Its your Boring,Generic Bare bones RPGmaker default Bullshit. There are no New mechanics to play around with in battle, The class system has somewhat of a variety but not really fleshed out in the skilltree. Attacks miss so badly that majority of your battles is mainly a game of luck. Enemy variety is abyssmal as majority and i mean MAJORITY come down to just the colours of their eyes or clothing only just with the occassional different enemy that has at least a difference in design and gimmick.

    Grinding is too TEDIOUS and complemented with that ATROCIOUS encounter rate makes it NOT FUN!!!

    And God help you you arent using cheats youre going to have a hard time handling the Domina's even after Grinding (Believe me ive been there). It doesnt help that you are punished for playing on easy mode as basically playing on easy makes you automatically lose out on combat interactions. At least there's a somewhat variety in weapons and skills but like i said its not really anything impressive neither is it fleshed out.

    Sex Scenes: They have variety. I cant really say much cuz im not into FemDom and Scat but i can definitely see people who are into that liking it. Again each Domina have different scenes depending on their personality and it fits so well. Unfortunately not animated but dude what did you expect its RPGmaker.

    Story: The story is great but not without its issues. So basically the premise is you the MC(nameable) is whisked away from his daily life by a goddess to be her champion to fight against 13 Dominas who are about to enact their grandplan of taking over earth and basically enslaving all of humanity.Your soul gets divided into 3 shards and if you die one of your soul shards goes to the Domina that killed you. Lose all 3 and you die for real. Something later happens that makes you the last champion which means no matter the cost YOU MUST NOT FAIL!!!
    The premise is good and its execution is done well in the beginning but then it starts to collapse. First of all the game forces you to be in love with Llavanya even tho she was the one that brought all of this misfortune to you. And its made worse by the fact that she has sent THOUSANDS just like you to their eternal suffering. I wanted it to be like the MC actually acknowledges this but they make you just fall in love with her. (yes i know Llavanya acknowledges this in Mary's dungeon but an interaction between her and the MC over this issue wouldve been nice). Secondly the revelation that youre the GrimReaper comes out of fucking no where. Its as if they just shoe horned it in to give reason to the fact that even after losing all your 3 shards you never really get a game over they explain it as a timeloop sort of hing but the problem is that it doesnt really work well when the player has the choice to basically not continue and get permadeath'd.And also the Reaper said he told you how to defeat the various Domina's but if you remember well he didnt have an answer to how to defeat Mary he just laughs in your face. It seems this story element was just shoe horned in as the Devs had writer's block and needed something to just kick off the story into a more exciting turn of events. Thirdly, ALL of the story content are locked behind a sidequest wall. Some of it are interesting like Maki and Mika's own,Ruby's own,Franscezka's own, while some of them are just BORING and TEDIOUS like fetching 10 petals to enter Hora's throne room, fetching Tea and a book for Mary, getting 10 roses for Rosita, getting Raa's tablets, e.t.c. The Game gives the excuse of they dont want to bother with weaklings but thats bullshit, at those points you would have beaten a minimum of 3 Domina's. THAT ISNT WEAK!!!
    LASTLY,
    The way it is revealed that all the Domina's all originate from a single entity is done SO POORLY. you get a hint of it when talking to Hora after she's beaten and you hear the full story from Raa after she kills Hora. There was no set up WHATSOEVER (But i could be wrong ive not gone through all Lore texts) but still, It just seems forcibly put in as if they came up with it at the last minute and added it in. Its also kind of weird how all of The Domina's are in the Cerulean fields when it is said that their life force will deplete if theyre outside their Realm for long.
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    But i wont lie the story has some good moments and will have you at the edge of seat wanting more. It has some plot holes but its overall an enjoyable story experience.


    FINAL THOUGHTS: Overall the game is pretty good. The main reason why i rate it average is MOSTLY for the gameplay aspect and terrible sound design. For an RPGmaker game gameplay should be your no.1 selling point but unfortunately they miss the mark so hard with this one. And the devs should really change round some of the sounds and mix it properly. It doesnt shy away from the Genre of porn it has, neither is it afraid to show gruesome and disturbing imagery (wish we had the option to turn gore blurry not only in Franscezka's realm tho). and ill stll highly recommend those who are fans of RPG mechanics mixed in with Femdom and scat to try it, YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!

    Masterclass on how not to make a porn game; or any game. Fights take forever and you have to repeat them multiple times. Attacks miss way too often, making many fights entirely luck based. Extremely long attack animations for enemies, so you get to sit there for 15 seconds while the same boot attack animation replays 3 times.

    The only good part of this game is the art.

    Oh, Domina. It used to be my favorite femdom game. Well, despite some disappointments, the reasons why I loved this game are still present. The biggest issue would be to decide who would be my bride, Katrina or Narcissa.

    Nevertheless, I'd not be fair if my rating excluded the obvious flaws that everyone can see both in the game and in the game development itself (which actually isn't a part of my evaluation, but the consequences of game development problems are present in the game).

    All in all, not a bad game - but could be better, much better!

    PROS:
    • Shakie arts are really good! She made well designed 2DCG characters. No exceptions here!
    • The first 5 dominas (Katrina, Madeline, Narcissa, Mary and Rosita) have a good diversity of scenes. The available fetishes varies according to the Domina, but you'll find feet/boots/armpit/ass worship, facesitting & oral servitude, lactation, farts and full toilet (piss and scat).
    • Dialogues and narrative is very well written!
    • The plot is really interesting.
    • Musics are great! It fits every realm very well. Sound effects are typically good and have a nice synergy with the H-scenes, with some few exceptions (eg: piss and scat sound effects - the Domina is shitting on a face and not a water-filled toilet; the sound effect should match this)
    • Combat system is very well designed. You can choose among different classes and weapons. It features a skill tree as well.
    • There is some potential on the new artist.
    • Personalities and dialog choices help to create a good player immersion in the game.

    CONS:
    • Heavy grinding! If you don't cheat, you'll pass more time seeing ugly skeletons than beautiful dominas. Level progressing is the worst part of this, it is really really slow.
    • The game is very long and repetitive (partly due to grinding issue). Without cheats, expect at least 5 hours to reach the 9th Domina (Hora), especially if you don't know anything about the game. 5 hours is VERY optimistic, you could get this time if you just aim for beating dominas without care for H-scenes.
    • Take your best insecticide before playing, because you won't find bugs - they will find you! You should save everytime, and use different saves (so you won't take the risk of losing everything by saving AFTER you got into a softlock situation). You'll never know when the game will crash or softlock you. And I'm not even talking about skills that doesn't work and always deal NaN 0 damage (thankfully, you can solve this issue following these steps). If you already know the game, you can play it almost normally if you manage to remember situations that leads you to crashes or softlocks (doors are especially dangerous in Franziska realm, and the reason is not related to her gore thematic). The fact that we have bugs that lasts for more than 2 years since the official release is the icing on the cake.
    • I know the default for RPGM is 20, but taking the last point and the quantity of Dominas into account, 50 save slots is somewhat low for this game. It should be at least 100.
    • Sexual content in any domina after Rosita is very shallow. Until Rosita, we've had a lot of battle fuck. You'd see Katrina facesitting you and cumming in your mouth, Rosita smothering you with her breasts, Madeline's feet in your mouth... but after Franziska, all dominas attack moves are just normal physical or magical attacks (no facesittings, no strapons, no spits, nothing).
    • Easy mode makes you lose some content. This fact is the only reason why I didn't include the presence of difficulty settings in the "PROS" section. It would be better if, instead of destroying battle mechanics, the Easy Mode just boosted the stats of your char, so you'd always win when possible.
    • We could have an option to skip the few lezdom scenes present in the game (I'm mostly talking about Mary raping Llavanya)
    • The game would be considerably better if we had a checkpoint selector, so we can jump straight to the domina we want instead of relying on saves or playing for hours just to reach the last content (and find out it wasn't worth).
    • The new artist is good, but the new arts for old characters are not ok. Body proportions and the everything about faces doesn't fit at all. Katrina and Narcissa were the worst by far (and the best ones were Mary and Franziska). That said, designs for the new Domina (Ruby - not present in v9.9) are nice.
    My rating: 5.0/10.0
    This game has a great potential of being good. But Dekarous needs to give more attention to this game if he wants to bring it back to the former glory.

    Of course, the issues concerning the artist is the biggest challenge here, but he shouldn't overlook things that are in his hand right now. A new artist won't erase bugs and heavy grinding issues. For this cases, all he needs to do is to open RPG Maker and do his job.

    I've played 9.1, honestly I don't get why people say it's grindy, I've finished available content taking my sweet time and enjoying scenes in 10.30h or so and was a breeze, maybe picking duelist and going with whip was an overkill on evasion.
    It covers niche fetishes like farthing, and gross stuff (toenails etc), it has stress and enslavement techniques.
    Nice scenes and honestly the Mary+ llavanya plot won me over.
    I would just avoid forcing the player to lose 10 TIMES WITH THAT FKING BITCH lol..
    Ok rant over. It was super satisfying to beat her tho.

    Overall 5/5 for me

    Fantastic game with beautiful art and kinks. I excitedly await every update.
    The store is dark and humiliating and will always keep you yearning for more. Battles are fun. A tiny bit grinding but you're nit supposed to go in over leveled. Losing to the Dominas still feels like a win.

    Id play on easy mode or with a cheat enabled cause the game is quite grindy. HOWEVER the characters are top notch, scenes and art are very good and I genuinely cried at the Hora part of the story, if you ignore the combat it is one of the best

    English is not my first language sorry for it being rough.

    I want to like this game but it feels like a scam by this point. The fighting isn't fun and the events are not worth it. Every character feels and look the same.
    And there to many bugs I wish the developer focused more on the polish then content or maybe scaling down his idea

    UltimateZed

    Borderline scam.
    Domina is essentially a clicker with low effort cutscenes. The combat is just spam until you win with no thought behind its fights. Every domina plays the exact same except for 1 of them. Every new update is unfinished trash to stop the game from being seen as completely abandoned.

    Just for context I'm reviewing this game mainly for it's sexual content and not it's gameplay because I don't expect good gameplay in a rpgm game anyways. These sorts of games are almost always grindy af (looking at you ToT) and kinda repetitive. The art and scenes are good, and I think have decent dialogue that fit each primary domina. My main complaint is that this game uses little to no effects in its scenes and relies almost soley on cgs. And while I do like the CGs I believe it'd benefit from using more effects or just minor animations.

    Domina is a good idea just done wrong. Now before I begin I'm not comparing it to other games, that's not fair. Nor am I expecting a perfect high-quality style game from a solo dev.

    There's a bunch of femdom RPG games nowadays but that's not the reason of the poor review. If anything I like how there's a lot of them!

    I'm giving it a poor review cause the execution of the game is lacking.
    For starters the game is REALLY grindy. I'm fine with doing some here and there but when it becomes a requirement for each fight it gets tedious and mindless. The game is also really hard, when each update is like over an hr or so I feel like it's doing the game a negative rather than a positive.

    I could deal with all of that if the H scenes were any good. The art is nice sure, but they're pretty boring and stale, then others go too far with blood play.

    Sorry for the dev I hope they don't take this to personally but this isn't for me

    The game itself is great. I like the story, the art, the music and the whole atmosphere of it. It's femdom focused, with content you might find to be too extreme (urination, scat). But there's not much of it. The biggest problem of the game is the developer. They used to produce about 1 update every two/three months. Now it is much slower, even to the point that a lot of people believe that the game has been abandoned.

    Still, if you don't mind an unfinished story, the story so far is awesome and the femdom content is strong.

    Metalkick

    What to say? Domina is a good idea poorly made due to a Dev not knowing what he's doing, where he's heading or even how to test his game. I could write pages upon pages on how this game fails on some very basic fundamentals. The game is a buggy mess that breaks even more every passing updates. Save yourself a brain aneurysm if you will. This game was worth it very early one (First 3 or 4 Dominas) but became an unredeemable mess due to the sheer ineptitude of the creator to provide content and quality that is a minimum respectable to supporters.

    Avoid supporting Dekarous, your time and/or money will be better invested on literally any other game of the same genre.

    Edit: 9.5.2 just dropped and somehow this game manages to get worse and worse. After spending a whole year of turning his thumbs and not doing anything, living in drama and syphoning over $12,000 from his dumb loyal patreons, Deka has done it again! A piss poor update with very little work done and some super awful AI generated scenes with piss poor humor. You can't write this shit. Lowered my rating from 2 stars to 1 star. If I could give half a star, I would at this point.

    8 dominas are implemented as of domina version 8.0. Very grindy game. Every domina has her own personality. From foot worship to gore. Even tho some scenes are hot, i feel like this is more more of a game rather than an erotic adventure. So iam kinda disappointed. Other games are less grindy. For 1 Domina you need around 1hours, and that is on the "easy" route. Playing normaly i think it would take around 2 to 3 hours per domina. Very Grindy, not my cup of game.

    Menacing Pervert

    Terrible game, full of bugs, dev doesnt care. Releases are as often as Rockstar games promise for GTA VI. Even when they come it's 5-10 minutes worth of your time and 2-3 scenes with stolen art. Avoid.

    I must say this game is not technically bad,its more a matter of personal taste and not only.

    Music: It is ok,not bad or good
    Combat:Outside of story segements,the fights are pretty straightforward and what i dont like is that you have to grind alot.
    Add to this the random and boring fights who are pretty much just attrition warfare.
    Love the specilization and variation in the player classes but it still doesnt go far enough.
    Scenes: This is one of the things that brings the game down alot,the dialogue is very vulgar,even though i expected it to be harsh but this is too much and a big turn off,later in the game you get more brutal scenes up to the point that budget harley quin cuts off a dick,in general very digusting,brutal and a major turnoff.
    Story: Not exactly bad but not exactly good,after the goddess that the player serves gets captured and as time goes on the story becomes more depressing and boring.
    No side quests,items are very simple and few options.

    Not bad at the start but i dont recommend it,it gets far too brutal and vulgar to be enjoyed unless you are a masochist/sadist.

    Pretty good game with a wide range of kinks to satisfy most people. The gameplay is decent without much grinding if you chose the easy mode and the story is interesting too. Had similar vibes like the game Tower of trample , which is another great game.

    Skainy

    Normal difficulty mode is way too hard. I spents maybe two hours trying to pass the first mistress... more the "challenging" mode. I don't want to restart and listen all the infinite text (it's cool the first time you play, but it's boring as hell if you just have to wait, it pass so sloooowly)

    Add some weapons to buy at game start to make the game more enjoyable. And a tool to change difficulty in-game.
    This should make players have some rewards and takes them to want to go further.

    3 stars cause it's really well written and there is a lot of situations playable. It semms to have more content, but i've died of boredom for leveling for now on.

    (Ver 8.0)

    I went into this game after looking at the screenshots fully expecting a standard RPGMaker game with uninspired scenes and boring combat. After looking at the screenshots, I assumed it was only one fleshed out enemy. But my expectations were absolutely blown out of the water. You don't just get 1 fully fleshed out girl to choose from, you get 12 (soon to be 13) all with their own unique personalities and scenes. The game features:

    -12 Unique dominant girls
    - Bad ends where you get enslaved by almost all of them
    - At least 5 fully drawn and scripted scenes for each girl
    - Fetishes ranging all the way from soft domination, all the way to vore/gore (avoidable)
    - Fully-fleshed class system with 6 classes to choose from, all of which have subclasses
    - The option to give in willingly or fight back
    - A decent story, fairly long to play through
    - Little to no bugs

    I really highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys femdom. If you can work your way through the story and enjoy the character progression, you're bound to find at least one domina that really fits your tastes. If you want a motherly dom who tries to be nice to you, there's Madeline and Rosita. A whip cracking sadist? Katrina and Mary. What about threesomes? Mika/Maki. Gore has Franziska, sadomasochism has Narcissa, and there's even Giantess with Raa.

    All in all you really can't go wrong if you enjoy any form of femdom. Amazing Game!

    Domina by Dekarous - version 8.0

    This game is more than just a regular porn game. It sucks you in for long hours of rpg combat and I think thats great!

    Some fetishes included may seem extreme, and if u are worried about gore, you have the option to blur it.

    The art itself is a solid 9/10. It isn't a full hd imagery set, but it suits the whole game really well.

    Domina design for me is the part that kept me playing, especially Rosita and Franziska, both of them are really well built characters and if you consider being enslaved u should definetly give them a try.

    The gameplay itself may be difficult at first, but there is always a way of beating every chapter. Btw, those who ask do not miss!

    On the other hand tho, the game is a bit bugged, remember to save your game as often as possible, in orded to avoid getting yourself into a corrupted save file situation.
    Also the fact that some of the info is required to be found by yourself, makes the game a bit annoying. (for example how exactly does the corruption system works. Trial and error pretty much)

    Im honestly waiting for patch 9.0, keep up the good work Dekarous!
