Ren'Py - Agent17 [v0.25.9] [HEXATAIL]

I want to rate it 0%. It's not a game or even jerk-off material; it's more like a grinding machine.

You grind and keep grinding from the very beginning to the end, and this game even cuckblocks you the minute you get money from other sources then grinding for cheating (Besides I didn't even cheat and still got cucked).

A doormat MC + Forced Li's + Lack of personality (Almost doesn't exist in any Li's.) + Brat MC with 9 year old mind, who despite bitches coming onto to him due to plot armor but goes around raping left and right.

Yep. A complete garbage heap is what 'Agent17' is.

This game is underrated. I'd played a lot of Ren'py games, and Agent17 is still making me surprised with pleasure. Excellent modeling, reasonable update time, it's very precious now. Some games even take very long time to be updated.

I don't usually leave reviews but this was great. It is grindy at times and I used the cheat mod to streamline it a bit but I felt like there was a good build up toward certain events. The story is interesting and the concept is new.

Although I like the models, the grinding is AWFUL to say the least, some paths are way underdeveloped which combined with all the tedious mechanics that surround the game makes it impossible to have a second playthrough and what the hell is up with negotiation puzzle and making me wipe cum from the floor!!!! SKIP!!!!!!!!!!!!

(V.0.23)

Why does the game get grindier and grindier with each update? Save editing is not allowed too. The 2 recent major updates managed to squeeze in more grind than actual story or scenes.

If you managed to get pass, ignore or un-grind the grind, the scenes and girls model are actually top tier. The story is abit undesired as the resource for it is probably used to make the game more grindy.

Solid 5/5 when it first came out, but 3/5 right now. Ofc if you dont mind/bypassed the grind, its a 5/5

I really like the story plot where MC got some power by calling an agent to kick someones ass, but the lack of choices is idiotic, someone kicked MCs ass and stole all hes money and then hes goes ok fine you can give me a BJ instend? i mean who the fuck says i would even want that from the bitch? make her work as a hooker to pay you off would be a better choice then that shit.

So yes game forced LIs on you which is another thing i hate, just walking into a freaking store LIs will jump on MC to play with hes dick...game does have a relationship system but for what reason i have no idea when all it does is force shit on you.

This could have been a good story with great potential but i just couldent get that far into it, when MC learns a student/friend of hes is working in a brothel and he blackmails her into doing shit with him it just got to much for me, if you atleast had a choice to a good guy and help her out somehow instend that be fine but blackmailing her to let you fuck her its idiotic.

Which leads to MC being nothing but a pervert with a mindset of a 12 year old thinking every single girl is hot, i mean stop this shitty and cringy thought process for MCs, let the players think on their own if someone is hot or not anything else feels idiotic if you like to put you self in MCs shoes like alot do.. this kind of thinking just makes it impossible to do that.

And why the fuck does MC have to jerk off in the bathroom? who the fuck cant go to bed because he needs to jerk off......gimme a break.
And to really make this game a waste of time, there is a freaking timer on skipping time??? fuck me....

Animations are about average.

Sandbox isent that bad it is very grindy and you do the same shit over and over which just isent fun either.

If you like repetitive grindy games where the developer will only make it easier for you if you pay him more this one's for you. Let's not forget the anticheat bullshit he implemented, feels like a Ubisoft release with all that bloat.

I don't recommend 'Agent 17' to those who dislike puzzle/mini-games and repetitive grinding. However, the game features good models, multiple paths to choose from, an okay storyline, smooth animations, and a good UI. Despite these positive aspects, the main character is portrayed as a stupid pervert/creep. Overall, I found the game to be enjoyable.

Even though I like some aspects of the game having decent models and animations - I hate for the devs who go extra mile to block players using mods/cheats. Yeah, this dev doesn't like the idea that people have to work, have a life, etc. You need to grind your ass off for hours and give up working, spending time with friends, studying, doing other hobbies, sleeping, etc. just to fap playing an adult game.

I'll wait for this game to finish, activate the anti-anti-anti whatever cheat and play it, without new updates it won't mess up your achievements. Less downloads, money and visibility for the dev too, so maybe he can understand that we don't WORK with his game (like he does) and we don't have the amount of time to do the endless grind HE thinks is cool.

Is it grindy? yes it is but I do like the game purely for the Art and animation as it has very good quality h scenes imo.
Major cons as others mentions is the grind and no work arounds which is not ideal but it feels kinda worth when taking into account the quality of scenes.

Scenes have decent replayability as well.This game has one of the better questmaps i have seen in renpy as you would know what to do if you check the questmap(if you dont take into account the incredible grind and minigames)

the reason for my 5 stars is I hope that the game would develop more and continue as I really dig the style and animations and is without a doubt on of the better renpy games out there.

the greatest thing that i dont like in this game is the puzzle in the computer as i really suck at puzzles

Game version: v0.23.6

After playing for a long time i gave up it became a waste of time.

I really hate the way the game is grindier than the last.
- before this update you can LOCKPICK all the doors without any LOCKPICK skill lvl requirements.
- DONATING SPERM can gain you 70 money(HIGHEST POSSIBLE INCOME) but after this update the money u receive depends on your LUST METER the Higher the LUST the more the money u gain but up to 70 which is the same from last update.
- LUST METER WHEN ITS FULL CAN'T LET U SLEEP, U NEED TO EFFIN MASTURBATE IN THE BATHROOM[YES NOT IN YOUR ROOM] TO ADVANCE THE PASSAGE OF TIME. LAST UPDATE IT "DOESN'T HAVE THIS" SO YOU CAN ADVANCE NORMALLY LIKE A NORMAL EFFIN REN'PY GAME.
-DEV uses Ai Art for the puzzles that increase you skill lvl.
-LETS TALK ABOUT SKILLS, IT BECAME FRICKIN SKYRIM YOU NEED TO REPEAT THE SAME ACTION OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO GAIN SKILL EXP SO THAT U CAN LVL UP YOUR SKILLS. YOU NEED TO PICK LIKE 2 LOCKS TO GO PROGRESS TO LVL 2. WELL MORE, U NEED TO PICK MORE LOCKS TO PROGRESS TO 3 AND SO ON... SOME DOORS NEED A HIGHER LOCKPICK LVL TO PICK THEM. THE PROBLEM IS, THE GAME HAS LIKE 3-7 DOORS THAT IS LOCK PICKABLE, MOST DOORS HAS PASSWORDS OR KEY WHICH IS THE LOCKPICK LVL IS USELESS. Not to mention you're locked in that skill level before you progress any further it's not even retroactive.

I really love the girls, for me it's the maids.

I love "most" girls are submissive and negative iq.

MC is pathetic as hell he blackmails, steal, manipulative and a creep.

Conclusion:
Dev just add useless progressions/grindy shit show how Incompetent he is. Rather than smooth progression with more sex scenes... he adds shit slow/halt progression to say that he has a 2hrs worth of updates but has less sex scenes. THIS IS a Hentai game not a Gacha. YOU CAN'T EVEN CHEAT HE ADDS A ANTI-CHEAT SYSTEM.

Waaaay underated gem.
It had a rough start with some silly ideas and content but the author hit his stride and if you enjoy the tags this is a true gem and one of the top 10 for sure (tags being: Forced, rough, humiliation, um basically rape, basically being a total douche scumbag hehe)
The mc comes of as an idiot but thats his charm. I didnt understand to start but he grows on you and I find myself agreeing more and more with his dialogue choices! He is a prick and what does it really matter what you say to the girls, you are only interested in 1 thing and whatever.
The whole agent thing works and he made it fairly believable and at this point it works in the story.
I love alot of the girls, and the scenes are hot hot (only seen the non consensual mostly or douche mode activated mode).
There are not a lot of games that have mostly this content so if you enjoy it GO FOR IT.
If you enjoyed games like regional manager etc this is for you.
Last thing is the jigsaw puzzles to unlock skills. I think they are fine. I ended up enjoying most of them. I think the huge one is more of a joke then anything. I didnt do it. All the rest are easy.
Remember you can just drag the pieces around and release on each spot, eventually the piece just sticks and wont move when its in the correct position. Great if your stuck or need a first piece to get things going.

Enjoy!

This is just a huge nonsensical cumbersome grind. Quests are not intuitive, you always need some item or gadget you don't have and need to find and whenever you are not clicking all over the map, you'll be plagued by completely unfun mini-games.

There is an average game in there somewhere, but it is layered with so much sadistic boring grindy 'game play' that the reward is never worth it.

Avoid.

None ntr path

Game is a huge grind even with cheats you still need to grind for resources to do agent 17 mission
Only thing good are renders
Usless walktrough
Events not triggering
No bugs
There are moan sounds
Some woman have two paths ntr and not ntr

Minigames aren't that fun
Lots of incomplete storyline
Why are there even options that doesn't do anything?
Animation is like the only thing carrying it
There are a bunch of characters that doesn't even have a scene
Puzzles is....

This is single-handedly the biggest misuse of a sandbox/free roam environment I've ever seen.

EVERY action is gated behind some mini game. Earn money? Click a ton of things. Raise your stats? Do all these mini puzzles. TALK to someone? Better first talk to someone else, do a mini game, then talk to the original person and do another mini game.

Interact with a core mechanic of the game? Better grind resources.

It actually blows my mind at some of the choices made and added to this game.

Great game mc is basically a serial sociopath fucking , corrupting or raping all the girls, if you look past that great female characters, interesting story and great animation, too bad it to slow at releasing i some times think it was abandoned to be surprised by a small release.

Game is extremely well developed with quite good consistency and feedback from patron supporters being the main mode of feedback for dev

All characters look amazing and the storyline has amazing development with aid as well using the quest map to know what we have to do next to further the story.
Game is well worth the grind and time so do try to support the creator when possible!

The quest map is an amazing way to visualize and explain to the player the different available paths.

The animations of this game, while not the highest resolution, is satisfactory and smooth.

Looking forward to how the story progresses!

This game has everything to offer. What's kind of person are you? Good or Evil? There is one route, No, there are two route. If you're a good guys, go for good path. And if you're a bad guy, go for evil path. I'm not gonna judge you. Because everyone has his/her own taste. And if you're reading this and hasn't played. Just downloaded and play it. You'll love it if I'm not wrong.
