Mamatoto is an old SRPG from 1999 created by our favourite erogemaker- Alicesoft. Despite the age it's quite enjoyable and is loved by Alicesoft. It has had two spinoffs and can be considered the spiritual prequel of Rance IX which heavily references it.
One thing that is interesting is that many of the characters have counterparts in the Rance series and others have similar designs.
It also has this classic song
which like most things in Mamatoto it is recycled in IX
We start with a Star Wars-esque opening
- Mamatoto - King's Room
Our protagonist Nanus runs in
Nanus: "Father! I finally did it!!
The boy that ran into the King's Room with an excited shout was Nanas, the prince of this country. At 18 years old he's the general of the Mamatoto army. He's known even in other nations to be an extraordinary tactician
Kakaro: "Nanus? What in the world have you done?"
The old man sitting on the throne who responded without ambition was the country's king, Kakaro. He was widely touted throughout the continent as a valiant man, but he no longer showed any trace of that.
Nanas: I've successfully created magic creatures out of monster cards!
Kakaro: Did you?! You were able to do that thing you told me about before?!
Nanas: Yeah. They're called Kids. Prototypes were just born from the plants.
Kakaro: Good work, Nanas! Perfect timing, too!
Kakaro: Damn the Kingdom of Zazam. They're chasing Mamatoto after deciding we're the only nation they can still win against. I thought we were done for, but now we can turn the tables on them! I'm sure their slow mobile fortress will show itself soon.
Kakaro: Nanas, mass produce Kids for combat!
Nanas: Well... We have a decent enough number of plants for producing Kids, but... We don't have nearly enough monster cards, and those are the actual materials used to create Kids... Unfortunately, all we have is a few prototype Kids.
Kakaro: What?! We lack the necessary materials, you say?
Nanas: Y-Yeah... Whether we have plants or not, we can't do anything without monster cards... Fightan, the close combat Kid. Wiz, the magic attack Kid. Blocken, the defence Kid. Icchoku, the laser attack Kid. Cheer, the action support Kid. Wapwap, the move support Kid. We have one of each of those. That's all for now...
Kakaro: Ngh~... It'll be hard with only six. If we can just hold out against Zazam, we can go to the Monster Realm and collect cards there, but...
Nanas: Also, I thought of something.
Kakaro: What is it?
Nanas: If we go to the Monster Relam right now and find a monster fortress...
Kakaro: That's absurdly risky! Monster fortresses aren't so easily found. And even if we do find one, it would have to be one we're capable of taking down. If we did that, we'd only be doing with Zazam wants.
Nanas: I haven't even gotten to test the Kids System... The way we are now, Zazam will beat us through numbers alone.
Kakaro: Mgh~... This is already a gamble...
Nanas: Father.
Kakaro: ...Mgm, you're right. If we're to defeat Zazam, we have no choice. Besides you're in charge of all military matters.
Kakaro: Nanas. Do something to save Mamatoto from this predicament.
Nanas: Okay, I'll do what I can! Jamos!
Nanas looked up and yeeled for Jamos, Mamatoto's operator.
Jamos looked through a wide open hole in front of him while he responded to Nanas.
Jamos: Yeah, I heard ya! Heading to the Monster Realm, right?
Nanas: Yeah, as soon as possible.
Jamos: Gotcha!
Mamatoto turned it's back on Zazam, the approaching enemy, and began moving to the Monster Realm.

This is a tale of long ago..,
In a certain land, there was a king
who wondered if there was a way
to reduce the casualties from
castle sieges in war.
He conceived an idea no normal
man would and perfectly executed it
as no normal man could.
Conquer castles by using castles!
He mobilised his castle and moved it
next to enemy castles to invade.
Having already had a strong nation,
he soon controlled the continent.
Hundreds of years later
that country no longer remains.
What does remain is
many nations continuing to fight
by using mobile fortresses
The era is stained with war, the color
of an endless hell with none on top...
