Im a villian, not a monster

Can't even win the intro fight, trash game.

I felt bad for the girls. Anyone who enjoys anything non consensual should be put on watch list and locked up away from society

Nice kindly game! You can play it with your family :)

Them damn Orc's always ruining everything.

thought it would be more like Claire's Quest Gold. didn't think it would be this dark.

So yesterday, I was checking out the butcher shop, eyeing some juicy cuts of meat, when I overheard a couple of vegans absolutely losing it. Apparently, they picked up a slab of beef, paid for it, took a big ol’ bite, and then started screaming, “OMG, THIS ISN’T CABBAGE!! REEEEE!!” Like babes, you were in the meat section. What did you expect—soy air? Now if that painfully dumb scenario sounds familiar, it’s because it perfectly sums the few negative reviews this game has gotten. Clueless tourists see the pretty anime waifus, click purchase without reading a single word, and then act scandalized when they realize: “Wait... there's hardcore seggs in this hardcore seggs game?!” Shocking, I know. Truly award-worthy levels of denial. I wasn’t even planning to pick this game up. But after seeing the outraged shrieking from people who thought they were buying a meditation app and got a thighjob instead? Yeah, I whipped out my wallet immediately. Just to spite the cabbage crusaders. Medium rare, baby. Let’s freaking eat! Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s talk about the game itself. First and foremost, this is the very first title in its genre I’ve played that supports 200fps—and for that alone, it already earns a solid recommendation from me. At first, I scoffed, thinking, 'Why would I need 200fps just to watch still images and looping animations?' But somewhere along the way… I realized: it’s not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. You play as Oretti, a ginger fox girl living a quiet life in a peaceful village with your furry dad and your blonde fox-girl sister, Melanie. The biggest threat you face? Oversized boars that barely count as a nuisance—they're tutorial fodder at best. Right away, you’ll notice the combat is... well, kind of garbage. But let’s be honest—you didn’t pick up this game for the combat. In fact, you’ll probably want to lose. Just when life in the village starts feeling cozy, you suddenly remember the game is titled Jerez Arena 3. There’s no arena in sight, and you still don’t know who—or what—“Jerez” even is. Enter the orcs. And not just in the combat sense. The moment your attacks start bouncing off these green bastards like wet noodles, you know your peaceful life is over. You wake up enslaved, property of what can only be described as your average Reddit moderator: big, greasy, and perpetually sweaty. Your new job? Train up your stats, earn coin however you can, and survive the brutal life of a gladiator. Along the way, you'll explore the grimy city you're trapped in, solve other people's problems (or ignore them), and make choices that shape your fate. Depending on your actions, you’ll unlock different endings—some wholesome, some horrific… though depending on your tastes, they might all be “good” endings. But I digress~. I personally don't jive with the design of the main heroine for this game. The aesthetic choices—particularly the emphasis on certain physical features—didn’t quite align with my tastes. My tastes lean more toward subtler character designs—think elegance over excess—so the emphasis on large busts felt a bit much for me. However, bust size preferences aside, I can’t deny that the character designs are visually stunning. Each one is crafted with a strong sense of style and appeal. My personal favorite is the silver-haired elf, Ailofen, whose design aligns most closely with my aesthetic preferences. I personally feel the experience would have been even more engaging had she taken center stage as the main character. Every CGI is a feast for the eyes. The visuals are top-tier across the board, but the 200fps animated scenes crank things up to another level. Watching the girls get taken in such obscene clarity and smoothness? Let’s just say it left an impression—in more ways than one. This game had amazing sounds. With properly voiced characters and some surprisingly evocative performances, the moans alone nearly made me blush. If I were a guy, I’m pretty sure I’d have been pitching a tent. This is best enjoyed in private—preferably with headphones and locked doors. This one’s a must-play for anyone who considers themselves an eroge aficionado. Had Ailofen been the star, I’d be screaming 'masterpiece' from the rooftops. Still, even with the fox girl up front, it earns a strong 9.5/10 in my book.

The animation is really good, however if SA is a trigger this isn't your game. The story is so far good, and the game is a bit challenging. Also, where is goblin slayer when you need him. This game is pretty fun, and east to lose track of time to grind for the attributes in the game. 10/10

need more elf getting fat D in her ass + some bugs about saving 8/10 worth money good animate / nice puss

.

Aside of the sexual abuse scene (which I didn't like), the game actually is very decent! There're very few hentai game that I play again to get other endings , and this is the one. Combat system is easy to understand and it is very intuitive in how you find new skills by training with other people rather than just getting a skill book. The lust system feel a little bit underwhelming as your character can deal damage base on lust, but cannot raise lust by herself like other character. The hentai scenes (except for the violence, abusive scene), actually is kinda nice. I recommend anyone to play this game and overlook the abusive part if you don't like it.

TLDR: Recommended This one is on par with the first Jerez's Arena. Story is excellent, with the theme focused on the enslaved foxkin rather than the slaver. Your choice to resist or submit would lead to different consequences. There are side events to look for to help keep you busy, with relevant story that ties in to the main story (and not those crappy run of the mill delivery quests). While AP is limited, it is still plenty enough for you to do all of them, and finishing these side quests awards a balanced amount of stats, items, and potentially CG, making them quite worthwhile. There is combat H against bosses, guards and other gladiators in the arena (from non to full on H at higher level). You have 5 hearts per fight to stay sane, so you can enjoy the H and then finish it (this actually boost your battle result rating and can go up to SS). In total, there are 40 scenes + combat H, with 7 endings (3 main story branches). So it is worth the bang for the buck.

Concise Game Reviews: Jerez’s Arena Ⅲ <ホレスの格闘場ⅲ>

(Scroll down for the longer version)

Game Value:	✅ Highly recommended for fans of dark fantasy RPGs with a strong corruption theme, turn-based combat, and branching routes based on choices and submission. Oretti, the fox-eared daughter of a peaceful tribal chief, is kidnapped and sold into slavery. Now imprisoned in the underground Shadow District of Jerez, she must endure brutal training, sexual abuse, and battles in the arena to survive. As she meets allies like Shanta and the fallen empress Ailofen, she’ll begin to resist her fate—or fully embrace it. Multiple endings await based on whether she clings to hope or becomes the plaything of her captors. Can Oretti break free from the Shadow District, defy the slave mark’s control, and reunite with her family before Gulos turns her into his obedient pet forever?

📖Story and Depth:

Jerez’s Arena Ⅲ is more than just fetish fuel—it’s a slow descent into darkness. Oretti’s journey from a hopeful young woman to a used and broken slave (or vengeful rebel) is told with surprising emotional weight. Shanta’s hopeless acceptance and Ailofen’s faded regality add layers to the narrative. Gulos, the perverse ruler of the Shadow District, serves as a cruel reminder of the depths you may sink to. Will Oretti endure, break, or use her body as a weapon to manipulate her way out?

🏆Verdict:

As a fan of the previous Jerez’s Arena titles, this third entry stands out as the most polished yet. Combat is fast and satisfying, with directional inputs and frequent QTEs that trigger during training, ambushes, and critical scenes. Success can help avoid danger, resist assault, or improve stat gains. There’s plenty of content for the price—over 40 H-CGs (some animated), a full uncensored experience, and a structured daily system built around Action Points. The map includes varied locations and sub-areas, with distinct characters, side jobs, and event routes to explore. Visually, it’s a treat: beautiful art, strong character design, and a great soundtrack that enhances both emotional and erotic moments. With branching paths, strong writing, and rewarding replay value, it’s easily one of the best dark RPGs I’ve played recently.
