Ikkarus and the Prince of Sin

💬 Supportive Caveat

This recommendation comes from a place of genuine support for creators making mlm games. Even when a title is rough around the edges or not fully to my taste, I believe it matters that it exists—and that someone tried to make it for us. Representation, visibility, and storytelling in this space are still growing, and I want to encourage that growth. I don’t refund these games. I want the devs to try again. I want them to know someone saw their work and believed it was worth building on.

That said, this one has some frustrating bugs—especially the Hell Mode glitch that blocks progress—and the relationships don’t have the depth or development that makes other titles stand out. There’s a lot of promise here, and I’m glad it was made, but it needs polish and a bit more heart to fully shine.


🎮 Gameplay & Genre

A Yaoi RPG with slice-of-life vibes and monster-hunting mechanics. You run an inn, make beer, and earn cash to pay off debt by hunting cute (and occasionally sexy) monsters. Light grinding, charming world, and some solid character interactions keep things fun—even if the gameplay loop gets a little repetitive.

🔥 M/M Content

Definitely lewd. You’ll encounter suggestive art, cheeky writing, and sexy scenarios with the main cast: Damian (gentle archer), Orakh (orc war chief), and Zistran (hot demon prince). Sex is implied more than shown, but the vibe is still distinctly horny. No nudity, but plenty of spice.

🎨 Visuals & Style

Pixel-RPG aesthetic with character portraits. It’s not high-budget, but it’s polished enough to be enjoyable. The sprite work and battle UI are clear, and each character has enough flair to stand out.

🗣️ Tone & Writing

Lighthearted and flirty with some genuinely sweet moments. The world doesn’t take itself too seriously, which works in its favor. It’s not deep, but it’s got heart—and some solid writing for a queer indie title.

⚙️ Performance & Bugs

Hell Mode currently has a game-breaking glitch: after winning a battle around day 5, the screen goes blank and you're stuck. I restarted the run multiple times and encountered the same issue. Frustrating, especially with only three achievements left. Worth noting for completionists.

👍 Best Thing

Charming and queer with just enough depth to keep you invested. It hits the sweet spot between sexy and silly.

👎 Worst Thing

The Hell Mode glitch is a real buzzkill, especially near the endgame. Needs a patch.

⭐ Final Verdict

Full recommend despite the glitch. If you're into gay RPGs with flirty vibes and monster-hunting, this one's worth it. Just maybe hold off on Hell Mode until it’s fixed.

I want to post a positive review, but I can't. The writing. The relationships aren't well developed and the CGs are disappointing, among other things.

I am indecisive when it comes to rating this game...

On one hand...:

-> I liked the character designs / some CGs and what little of the story there was.

-> Figuring this game out wasn't hard and there are also quests and character events.

However...............

-> There is barely any story...!

-> You don't get to get attached to the characters at all... No matter how likable they might appear. (Definitely needed more events!)

-> Everyone already mentioned the repetitive combat. I even got locked out of combat on my second battle! I couldn't do jack sheet and then...! By some miracle...! It worked. After multiple game restarts.

-> Make sure to pick the *right* resolution... Or some of the game parts will be cut off!!

-> "MAKE ALL" and "SELL ALL" DO NOT WORK!!!!! So you can't get the best value for the ingredients you gather!!!

-> There are bugged quests... That YOU'LL NEVER FINISH!!! As in... No matter what you do... The progress will never go up. Even IF you have all of the items... Or are in the process of gathering said items. Some quests even go back to being unfinished......... Looking at you 50 Drinks quest! >.>

-> Endings end rather abruptly. I played the good ends... And when they just sent me to the main menu, I am like... "Uh... That's it..?" I am pretty sure I said that on one or two character events as well!

Well I guess I got my answer.......

Although I will say this: The game isn't that bad... It's just lacking. It could be really good... If improved on!

But if you really need your yaoi fix... Judge for yourselves.

Combat is extremely repetitive and boring, despite being what you spent most of the time doing (after navigating menus). Story is minimal. Game has some bugs: some rewards are not given, there is an entire currency (cherries) that has no apparent use, and combat is wildly unbalanced: you can one-hit enemies and they can one-hit you.

I have no idea what the other reviews are on about; this is a bad game made by people who I'm not sure were even trying to make something good. If they were, then someone on the team would have flagged these glaring issues.

This marks the first time I've requested a refund for a game. I cannot recommend this game to anyone.

Absolutely adorable and fluff. I finished one run (easy mode) with the orc love interest only. The gameplay was a bit repetitive, and I would have preferred more interactive choices (there are no choices, only the character you decide to romance) and scenes (the orc love interest had in total 5 scenes), but it was still a very enjoyable play for the type of casual fluff and cute game it is.
Also I loved that I could play a character who was courting the love interest instead of the reverse!
