作为 Megatech 推出的第二部(也是最后一部)成人 RPG 游戏,Knights of Xentar 最初被称为《龙骑士 3》。《龙骑士》系列的前两作都是简化的第一人称版地牢爬行游戏,但《龙骑士 3》从早期的《最终幻想》系列中汲取了灵感,采用了俯视角度,并用完整的小队取代了孤单的冒险者。

本作的剧情将从前作的结局处继续展开。在从邪恶的女巫手中救出一群了少女后,我们的英雄建(Takeru,英文本地化版本为“Desmond”)刚从庆祝活动中醒来,并宿醉难忍。更糟糕的是,一群当地的暴徒把我们的英雄抢了个精光,建在游戏一开始就赤身裸体。于是,一个简单的、寻找英雄被盗的珠宝和魔法剑的任务很快就变成了一项史诗般的重任,为了达成目标,冒险者们还将涉足高阶天堂和地狱之底。

大部分时间,玩家都会在 2D 的俯视角度下进行游玩,探索区域、与居民交谈,并执行一些简单的任务——而游戏中的成人幽默会让这些内容变得饶有趣味。尽管玩家可以在不同的地点之间自由旅行,但游戏仍是相对线性的,开发者人为设置的障碍也会限制玩家的游戏进程。

游戏采用了实时制自动战斗,在适当的时机,系统也会允许玩家穿插使用物品和魔法。此外,如大多数 JRPG 一般,《龙骑士 3》的装备系统是非常简陋的,仅限于护甲和武器升级,而等级的提升会相应自动增加角色的基本属性。

总的来说,《龙骑士 3》的战斗并不是很有挑战性。一些难缠的敌人也许会让玩家暂时卡关,但玩家可以简单地通过随机事件来刷经验,直到角色的能力与敌人旗鼓相当。在整个游戏流程中,建还会遇到一些来自前两作的熟悉角色,这些人物也会永久性地加入小队。

The second (and last) erotic RPG to be localised by Megatech, Knights of Xentar was originally called Dragon Knight III. The first two games in the series were simplistic first-person dungeon crawlers, but DK3 draws its inspirations from early Final Fantasy games, sporting a top-down perspective and a full party instead of a lone adventurer.

The game continues right off where the previous ones left off. Having rescued a group of maidens from an evil witch, our hero Takeru (localised to “Desmond”) wakes up from his celebration festivities suffering from a horrible hangover. And to add insult to injury, a group of local thugs robs our hero blind. Takeru starts the game literally stark naked. A simple innocent quest to recover our hero's stolen jewels and his magical sword soon turns into an epic endeavour involving high Heavens and lowest depths of Hell.

You spend the majority of the time in a top-down 2D mode, exploring locales, talking to citizens and performing simple quests – with the game's lewd humour keeping things interesting. While you can freely travel between locations, the game is relatively linear, with artificial roadblocks limiting progress.

Combat itself is automatically resolved in real time, allowing you to occasionally interject using items and magic at the opportune moments. As in most JRPGs, itemisation is extremely simplistic, being limited to armour and weapon upgrades, while level-ups automatically increase your base stats.

Overall, Xentar isn't very challenging. Some stronger enemies may pose as temporary roadblocks, but most of the challenge can be eliminated by simply grinding random encounters until you match your foes. Throughout the game Takeru will also be meeting some familiar characters from the two previous games that will permanently join the party.

《龙骑士 3》于 1995 被 Megatech 软件公司进行了英文本土化翻译,该作的“审查版”和“未审查版”都被允许在市面上发售。

Knights of Xentar was localised into English by Megatech Software in 1995. Both a censored and an uncensored version were released.

虽然这款游戏有着露骨(和怪异)的成人画面,甚至涉及到了强制性行为。但本作在美国的发行几乎没有掀起任何波澜,Megatech 也很快倒闭了。评论家们也更在意本作过时的画面和“古老的游戏机制”,而不是这些古怪淫秽的成人内容。

尽管本作的反响十分冷淡,《龙骑士 3》仍然取得了某种意义上的成就。对于许多青少年来说,《龙骑士 3》让他们第一次进入了日本成人游戏的堕落世界。

While the game features explicit (and bizarre) sex scenes, including rape, its US release was barely noticed and Megatech soon folded. Critics were more concerned with the dated visuals and the “archaic gameplay mechanics” than the kinky contents.

Despite the lukewarm reception, Knights of Xentar remains as something of an achievement. For many adolescents, it was their first introduction to the depraved world of Japanese adult gaming.

战斗是实时精选的,而且大多是自动的;你只能选择角色的行为并命令他们使用物品和法术。

Combat is in real time and mostly automatic; you can only select character's behaviours and order them to use items and spells.

《龙骑士 3》最吸引人的地方就是到处充斥的幽默感,比如你被抢个溜光,只能光着身子到处走。

Xentar's humour is its first noticeable aspect, as you are immediately robbed and forced to run around naked.
