Lady Sword is an unlicensed Hentai Dungeon Crawler by Game Express.
The player takes control of Kenshi, a lone warrior who sets on a deadly adventure
into the depths of the dark and dangerous Faunu tower after listening to the story
of an old man. A long time ago, a horde of monsters invaded the land and a legendary knight
called Ishisu defeated their evil king with the help of the Lady Sword. After
this hard-fought victory, the monsters ran away and peace returned to the realm. Time has
passed and the evil beasts have now returned - they are destroying everything in their path
and have abducted and imprisoned several beautiful girls from the kingdom, including the old
man's grand daughter Tānya. Kenshi embarks on a quest to find the almighty sword and to
rescue the distraught damsels. The goal of the game is to explore each one of the tower's
floor, gather items, defeat monsters and fierce bosses, and to rescue the girls. But Kenshi
doesn't come empty handed, he can use his sword but also collect special items that will help
him in his quest - such as the map (displayed by pressing 'Run'), the red skull
(which gives the player the ability to see and go through hidden walls, marked on the map by
red marks) or the Porityuron (which lets the player teleport to predesignated spots). The
player can also save and load the game in progress at anytime, or rest to regain health
(although an evil Dream Monster occasionally appears and attacks Kenshi in his
sleep). From time to time, various girls send Kenshi psychic images showing their graceful
anatomy, in full clothing at first and a little bit less as the game progresses (later in the
game, these images are actually saved in the player's inventory and can be accessed at any time
after being viewed). Lady Sword consists of ten vast levels and is single player only.

Hentai can be translated as 'pervert' or 'perversion' in Japanese, and it
describes special kind of Japanese adult games that contain explicit nudity and sexual content
(although usually soft). Theses adult games are apparently immensely popular in Japan and are
available on virtually every computer or console systems, although usually unlicensed (from the
Famicom to the PC Engine, Megadrive or FM Towns). Interestingly, most of
Hentai games are Mahjong, Go or Dating games, but there are a few rare
examples of RPGs and even a handful of Shooters.

Lady Sword was fan translated in English by EsperKnight, filler,
Grant Laughlin and Tomaitheous in 2010, and an English Language Translation Patch
is available.

There is a really unfortunate design flaw with Lady Sword's HuCard - the print uses a
different (and probably cheaper) screening process than traditional HuCards and, sadly, is not
as durable. It is not uncommon to find Lady Sword's Hucards with badly damaged labels (picture on
the right). I
strongly advise you to check your copy of Lady Sword as the print can even stick to the plastic
sleeve that is supposed to protect it!

Advice about the game:
The most critical item in the game is the map - use it all the time!
The game is full of teleportation tiles, one-way doors and hidden walls,
so make sure you check the map regularly. You should also save often
(if not all the time), some enemies are deadly and can kill you in one
or two hits, especially at the beginning of the game. Lady Sword
has a vicious difficulty spike as you progress, teleporting you all the time
or laying out one-way doors everywhere - so save often!

Lady Sword is actually a fairly decent game. I must warn you
though, you're dealing here with a Hentai game, so don't let your
kids play with this HuCard, it would simply be completely
inappropriate (and things also get rather gory later in the game). Anyway,
back to the game - Lady Sword is actually a good dungeon crawler
with nice graphics and fairly large sprites on screen. The amount of
different enemies is surprisingly large (nearly 100 monsters!) and this
definitively helps keeping the game fresh and challenging. I only wish
Lady Sword had a little more variation in term of background - all floors
look alike which is a shame. However, Lady Sword suffers from a
ridiculously unbalanced difficulty level and you constantly have to save and
load your progress because, well, the next enemy may kill you in one blow...
But thanks to the invincibility cheat, you can actually enjoy the
whole game without the hair-pulling frustration of staying alive. Is it a
shame that Lady Sword is a Hentai game? No, not really, what
would Toilet Kids be without its wacky design? Right? All in all,
Lady Sword is actually more than decent, especially for an
unlicensed game!
