Show First 3: Sengoku Jigon (Show First 3 ~戦国ジゴン~) — Honest Review

Reviewed work by ドラスターソフト · View on DLsite

A warring-states NTR RPG where the men circling your party’s women are warlords and invaders, and the game keeps a running ledger of exactly how far each girl has slipped away from you. It’s aimed squarely at netorare fans who want the “being shown” flavor of the genre — display, comparison, humiliation — wrapped in a pixel-art RPG Maker package with combat kept deliberately light. If you want a tactics game with some H on the side, this is not that; the battles are stagecraft by the circle’s own admission.

What works

The setting is a thinly veiled Sengoku Japan called Jigon. Your protagonist, Kazuki Tsukimori, is a war orphan taken in by the Tsukimori house who eventually rises to become its head. Then Mitsuhide Akechi turns on Nobunaga Oda (the names are tweaked parody spellings, but you know exactly who they are), the country tips into open war, and Kazuki’s lord, Tadanori Ootori, sends him out to put Mitsuhide down. It’s a compact premise that gives the NTR a period-specific texture: the description explicitly pitches “NTR by men in power” and “NTR by invaders” as the two main flavors, which is a sensible pairing for the era. Feudal hierarchy gives the powerful-man angle real teeth, and wartime invasion gives the other side its menace. The frame is Kazuki traveling with the girls, deepening bonds, and needing to grow strong enough to protect them while all of these men are eyeing his companions.

The standout feature on paper is the ero status screen. At any time you can pull up each girl’s sexual history: kiss count, number of sex acts, number of creampies, how many children she has given birth to, and — the one that matters most for this genre — how her feelings toward the other man have shifted. That last metric is the NTR hook distilled into a number. Genre veterans know the corruption arc is the actual product here, and having it quantified and always accessible is a smart way to make the slide legible even between scenes. The inclusion of a birth count also tells you upfront that pregnancy and childbirth outcomes are part of the package, not just implied.

The scene menu listed in the description is consistent with the tag set: being shown off by a stronger man, direct comparison, ahegao, guttural “oho” moaning, womb-deep sex, plus clothed scenes, heavy fluids, and group sex. Humiliation is tagged as a core element. None of this is novel for the genre, but the circle is transparent about what it’s delivering, which is more than you can say for a lot of NTR listings.

On the gameplay side, the honesty continues. Combat uses a strategy-RPG grid format, but the description says outright that it exists mainly for presentation, that no level grinding is needed, and that you can skip fights entirely. The final boss switches to a turn-based format and is pitched as the one “hot” battle. For a player who is here for the story and the H, this is the right call: you get the visual flavor of warring-states skirmishes without the time sink.

What doesn’t

The flip side of skippable, presentational combat is that there’s no real game underneath it. If you were hoping the SRPG label meant meaningful tactical decisions, adjust expectations downward — it’s set dressing, and the circle says as much. Whether that’s a flaw depends on what you’re buying, but anyone who sees “strategy RPG” on the tag list and expects something substantive should know going in.

The description is also thin where it matters for a character-driven genre. There’s no cast list, no names for the heroines, and no indication of how many girls are involved or what distinguishes them from each other; the promotional material just labels them “Character (1)” through “(3)”. The central tension — “can Kazuki protect the girls he cares about?” — is left ambiguous as to whether that’s a real branching outcome or rhetorical framing for an NTR-only ride. If you specifically want avoidable NTR, or specifically want unavoidable NTR, the listing doesn’t tell you which you’re getting. Voice is another open question: the tags mention music but not voice acting, so don’t count on those “oho” moans being audible rather than written. And with the price not listed at the time of writing, it’s hard to judge value against the content volume.

Who should buy this

This is Japanese-only with no official English support, and NTR is one of the genres that leans hardest on text. The comparison dialogue, the humiliation, and the shifting-feelings mechanic are where the appeal lives, and much of that is in the writing. That said, it’s an RPG Maker title, which generally plays well with a texthooker plus machine translation, and the ero status screen is mostly numbers that are readable without Japanese. Pixel-art scenes and ahegao visuals carry some weight on their own. If you’re comfortable running a translation setup, you can get most of the experience; if you want to play it raw, expect to miss the emotional arc that makes the genre work. Skip it if you’re a tactics player, a vanilla reader, or allergic to pregnancy content.

Verdict

Show First 3: Sengoku Jigon — final verdict visual

6 / 10. The quantified corruption tracker and the warlord-versus-invader framing are a genuinely good fit for the genre, and the circle is refreshingly upfront that the combat is window dressing — but with no cast details, no stated pricing, unclear voice support, and a language barrier that hits this genre harder than most, it’s a solid niche pick rather than a sure thing for English-speaking buyers.
