Even in a world with sex-addled overlords, war never changes

— The Last Sovereign opening narration "The Incubus King came from across the ocean and assaulted the world with his hordes of horny ogres and nymphomaniac succubi. [...] When the great powers of the world combined their forces, they succeeded only in fighting the Incubus King to a standoff..."

Kai, the hero chosen by the Goddess Ivala, prepares for his confrontation with the Incubus King. In his travels, he is accompanied by Altina, an Elven sorceress who secretly is in love with him, and Simon, an experienced (if opinionated and all too serious) veteran. Ten minutes in, the party gets ambushed, and after a brief confrontation, Kai is isolated, subdued and finally killed.

Good thing this story isn't about Kai, isn't it?

The Last Sovereign is an indie adult fantasy RPG created using RPG Maker by Sierra Lee. In development since the end of 2014, it's published serially, with new content released every month. As of September of 2019, four chaptersnote five, if you count the Prologue worth of content have been published, providing over 40 hours of gameplay. The game is notable for its engaging plot, appealing characters, good writing, and the amusing treatment of many common tropes of the genre. As of build 0.50.0, illustrations have started to be included for some of the sex scenes; others are text-only, or portrayed via sprite animations.

Despite what the opening sequence and the Prologue would make you believe, the actual protagonist of The Last Sovereign is Simon, a middle-aged, widowed veteran of the war against the Incubus King who serves the Church of Ivala as a guide and mentor to Ivala's Chosen. After his last mission fails, he makes a disturbing discovery - he has been implanted with a soul shard that grants him the same dark powers of lust and corruption as those of the Incubus King, effectively turning him into a junior rival of his. Living under the constant threat of losing himself to the shard and ending up as another tyrant, Simon decides to use this gift to fight the Incubus King, but without fully embracing the shard's power. His journey is assisted by a motley crew of mostly female companions that gradually gathers around him...

While the game is full of humor, it takes its premise seriously. Among the themes explored by the plot are: religious belief (and the lack thereof), organized religion, the nature of divinity, and what power does to the people who wield it. In addition to the standard dungeon crawl, the gameplay also has elements of strategy and economic simulation - you will have to manage financial investments and organize and conduct large-scale battles, with outcomes determined by your choices.

The game is free, but its development is supported via Patreon , and patrons get new versions a week or so earlier. In February 2019, the game was also released as early access on Steam , free of charge, though there's a paid gratuity DLC if someone wants to tip the author.
