Paladin Lias

Editorial Meh

Paladin Lias is a budget RPG Maker title built around a corruption and NTR fantasy premise, where story branching and moral choices determine which of multiple endings players reach. The art—particularly detailed CG of the protagonist—is the clear highlight and drives much of the engagement; combat is functional but unremarkable turn-based fare. Community consensus splits sharply along two lines: those who caught it on deep discount (often 70% off, dropping it to $2–3) call it a worthwhile niche experience for its price and artwork, while full-price buyers and those seeking polish are far harsher, citing frequent crashes, grinding-heavy late-game balance, and an unfinished feel throughout. The narrative is simple (protagonist gains power, faces temptation, narrative branches on morality) and leans heavily into adult content themes—NTR, corruption, and incest are central, not peripheral—so content fit matters enormously. Build stability is the most consistent complaint: crashes are frequent enough that regular save-scumming is essential, and some report save corruption or lost progress. The final boss spike is infamous for sudden difficulty, with only exploit solutions working on some builds. For players comfortable with janky-but-playable indie games, attracted to the specific kink content, and buying on sale, it can scratch an itch; at full price or for those expecting polish, it's a harder sell.
