YMMV / Kindred of the East

Go To

  • Best Known for the Fanservice: The Thrashing Dragon dharma is by far the most notorious, being composed of raging hedonist living vampires who are fertile and stereotyped as having sex all the time, even being described in official material as having a hatred for clothing.
  • Broken Base: The game's portrayal of Asian culture in general, in particular depicting all of East and Southeast Asia as being considered by its native supernaturals a single cultural entity known as the "Middle Kingdom". Detractors of the game perceive it as offensive and ignorant, while those defending the game argue this is merely Artistic License.
  • Complete Monster: Mikaboshi, once a mortal sorcerer who ascended to Yama King, is a ruthless, greedy ruler who corrupts countless souls for his Wicked City realm of hell. Seeking to become Demon Emperor and usher in violent Hell on Earth, Time of Judgement has Mikaboshi help invent the Screaming Plague to wipe out most of the Kuei-jin and send their souls screaming to Yomi. In the scenario Wicked City, Mikaboshi corrupts most world metropolises, driving countless to rape, murder and violence while having "security" forces try to purge the supernatural and torture many in their path so he may reap countless more souls and strengthen his own position to become Demon Emperor and usher in the nightmarish Sixth Age.
  • Narm: Torpor (the comatose state when Vampires lose all health points but haven't quite gotten to Permadeath is known as "The Little Death" in this game. "The little death" has long been a euphemism for orgasm.
