Knights of Xentar
Description official description
Knights of Xentar is a sequel to Dragon Knight II, and is the only Dragon Knight game that was released outside of Japan.
The player controls a young warrior named Desmond (Takeru in the Japanese version). After liberating Strawberry Fields from an evil curse in his previous adventure, Desmond finds himself in a situation unworthy of his heroic status: robbers have taken all his possessions, including his magic sword, and even his clothes! So the first task for the unsuccessful hero will be to get some money. Luckily, the mayor has an assignment for the hero, for which he is also willing to pay. Desmond accepts the assignment without knowing what it will lead to - traveling all over the world, fighting fearsome enemies, encounter beautiful women, and solving a mystery that will also reveal the secret of his own true identity.
The game is a humorous RPG with erotic content. The gameplay is quite different from that of the previous game. The player travels in top-down view on the world map, visiting towns and dungeons, like in most traditional Japanese RPGs. Enemy encounters are random. Battle system differs from most other games of its type by being real-time: combatants appear on a side-scrolling area and exchange attacks automatically; the player can interfere at any time and issue orders to the characters in the party - cast a spell, use an item, or change the attack power level. Physical attacks have a gauge with eight different power levels; the higher the level is, the stronger is the attack, and the slower is its speed.
Knights of Xentar features anime-style cutscenes, many of which contain erotic images - the girls Desmond encounters and helps will often feel grateful and award him with some "treatment".

Ten bucks says anyone who played this game didn't leave the computer room very often...muahahaha!
The Good
This is my second Hentai/RPG game (worth mentioning). The first being Cobra Mission. Well compared to Cobra Mission, me thinks Cobra Mission is better (though I don't recall why). Anyway, Knights of Xentar or Dragon Knights III (they didn't translate Dragon Knights 1,2 and 4 to English, the bastards!) is a very high quality RPG game. Kind of unique, that being also a hentai game. You don't find many quality games that combine adult and real gaming in one package. Knights of Xentar however, is a rare example that not all Japanese hentai developers are inborn perverts (hahaha, Arigato Sukebe-san).
Most of all, Knights of Xentar introduced a compelling story line. I don't recall what the story was now, but I do remember this was a very looooooong game to play, of which long does not refer to repetitive actions of own actions, but long refering to the story plot.
The battles were standard but sufficient. Very simple combat system and very simple magic spells. But they were fun enough not to be too complicated nor to boring. For games like Knights of Xentar, the Adult scenes were to me a bonus, as to my personal opinon, without it, it would still be a magnificent games (though fellow gaming buddies might disagree on that subject...ehem...men...yes we are all born bastards. Thank you).
Well they made Knights of Xentar IV/ Dragon Knights IV...of which I played but don't understand a single word of it. Ich verstei nich spreche Nippon. Anyone know any more Hentai RPG's out there...??? Hmmm....
The Bad
The fact that (then) my mom was wondering why I suddenly kept my room locked all the time...muahahahaha
The Bottom Line
This is a RPG/Hentai Classic. Above all, this game goes into the legendary hall of fame, in my book.

The Good
Many have called Knights of Xentar a ''hentai'' game, which roughly means anime-style porn. It is true that there are many scenes of half-naked anime girls, and countless explicit sexual allusions in this game, but it is far from being just an excuse for half-naked anime girls and lots of sex. Knights of Xentar's other, more serious side produces a somewhat serious RPG that has a somewhat serious storyline and a rather fun gameplay system.
The Bad
The graphics are quite outdated, and look very much like the graphics for the NES Dragon Warrior/Quest games.
The storyline, once you fully understand it, basically just amounts to the usual old good vs. evil business
The Bottom Line
What? An adult game with a purpose? Isn't that like a porno movie with a plot? Well, this game has one. I found the game itself to be superior in play to many of the old 'Forgotten Realms' games I've played, and the nime graphics in this one are not only excellent but, well... graphic ;) If your over 18, and like games with a bit of spice, this is a must-have.

Hentai/adventure rpg: basicaly rip off of Final Fantasy...
The Good
this game is not so much a hentai game, but an ironic take on the classic RPG. the jokes generally centre on sex and the main characters supposedly tiny dick, and once every mini-quest is completed, there is almost always a horny woman to serve as a reward (these women feature a not-so-innocent little red riding hood, snow white who's into bondage, an encounter with a now married ex, and later a nudist collony...) the jokes are hilarious, and one I started playing, I found it hard to stop... (not such a good thing as I should have been revising for GCSE's... ahem...)
The Bad
There was very little not to like, although the fights soon became slightly repetative, in a similar way as in Final Fantasy... but otherwise this has become one of my favorite manga/hentai games.
The Bottom Line
A witty, sex-oriented game, with brilliant hentai, and a great plot.

Trivia
References
Near the end, one of the creatures you encounter is a "Tetsuo". This misshapen baby-like blob is taken directly from the anime Akira.
Title
Knights of Xentar is actually part of the Dragon Knight series. For some reason Megatech couldn't get the rights to distribute the game with its original name so they had to change it for legal reasons (a common happening in the world of animé/manga translations), Megatech included their legal woes in the game however, and you can read all about it in the Hentai scene with the princess where she starts blabbling about how sad it is when legal crap gets in the way of good entertainment.
Version differences
The English translation is supposed to be quite unfaithful to the original and the NR-13 rated version was created by Megatech by editing some pictures and removing some stuff. The only Japanese version is the full NR-18 release.
