"Forged of Blood is a very good Xcom-like game, using a lot of different new mechanics. Overall, I like the difficulty of the game, and the art style isn’t hard to look at, making for long sessions of “just one more turn”. A lot of the little things about it, really make it unique, from the spell crafting, to how you can level up using a classless system. The gameplay is very tough, but when you win, you have a feeling of satisfaction. I’m going to give Forged of Blood the Thumb Culture Gold award, as it may not appeal to a lot of people, but fans of tactical RPGs are going to love it."

Forged Desires: A Bara JRPG from Male Doll launches April 28, 2025, blending dating sim choices with action-oriented RPG gameplay. Play as a character who gains abilities by equipping specific outfits, each linking to unique skills like stealth or strength. Two male leads, Leonard the royal soldier and Galin the wizard, offer branching story paths based on player interactions. The game mixes visual novel-style dialogue with real-time field skills, letting you swing across gaps, push heavy objects, or vanish into shadows during quests. Set in a fantasy world where attire directly impacts combat and exploration, it merges simulation mechanics with narrative-driven role-playing. What sets Forged Desires apart is its core loop of outfit-based progression. Every clothing choice alters available abilities, encouraging experimentation with gear combinations to tackle challenges. The field skills, ranging from basic movement tricks to strategic invisibility, add a layer of action that few visual novels include. While the story focuses on personal relationships, the simulator elements let you manage character needs and traits that influence outcomes. Early builds from the developer’s previous projects suggest solid writing and smooth execution, though the niche blend of genres may appeal most to fans of experimental RPGs.
