Ren'Py - Ataegina Remaster [Prologue Act I] [Kthulian]

EXCELENT game ! (Review Version 0.3.1. beta)

not only because it is one of the rare games with a fantasy setup, it's also worth to play at least 3 times.
One side the "good path" trying to help everyone and stick to morals...
Second the "bad path" dont care about others, being seductive, corrupt
others and use dark magic.
But most liked path so far seems to be the 3rd "neutral" one
All paths give you a complete different feeling of the game.
Rendering is not "over the top", but a well done balance for download size and "eye content".
The characters are well done.
Overall after playing i just wanted to continue NOW and i can't wait for more content.
I like where this story is going to.
The battle system (YES, there are battles in game) is easy to understand, but if you dont have learned the right spells it may also get tricky later on.
For those who just want to enjoy the story and dont want to take care about what to skill, or just want to quick-change allignment, there are also some points ingame where you simply can cheat your skills, or change your attitude (Allingment).

Finally i dont want to talk too much about ingame content, i just strictly recommend to try your own, because i am 100% sure that this game once finished (i HOPE it will be finished) will belong to the top games overall. At least based on now it seems more than promising

EDIT:
What important i forgot to say is that there are of course different tastes out there, but pointing on the 1 star ratings over here i just can LAUGH. You still know that 1 star is the lowest ranking possible? and even they write "PROs" and "GOOD" and so on, they give 1 star? REALLY? 1 star means there is nothing more worse - and there are MUCH more worse out there. Dont care if you give 3 stars or such things, but 1 star is just a BAD JOKE (sorry)

The others reviews are misleading as fuck, there is NO WAY this is a 5 stars game, this obvious from the first scene which is terrible.

The fantasy setting is refreshing but the writing is are not on par with the game ambition, the dialogs in special are weak and uninspired. The "Meanwhile Scenes" are pretty awful and if cut could improve the experience too.

As for the graphics, it is somewhat inconsistent, the models can look good but most the time find themselves in awkward poses or at odds with the background.

The porn is not good either, the interaction of the models sucks, as you can see from the first lesbian scene and worst kiss render i have ever seen.

You think you are going to play an adult game.
You are mistaken, you will enter a fantasy world that becomes more complex thanks to the hard work of its creator.
The latter likes his game and it shows.
Some will say "It looks like Skyrim, it's the same ...", NO!
It is a new universe where the author has given himself body and soul to give a story to each of his kingdoms, his people, and their beliefs and beliefs.
And for all that I encourage you to discover this game and especially to support the person who gives it life.

Good continuation to you, Kthulian

-(Before playing the game) Wait, an adult game is trying to build a fantasy world and actually succeeding at it? Hahahaha, I guess Martin and Rowling would be out of business soon, and Sapkowski's already on his way out... Someone also warn Bioware and ...

- (After playing the game) Okay, I'm an idiot.

This game tries to do something I've never seen an adult game try before. It tries to actually build a game world with its own history, geography, and anthropology - that feels already lived in and having events going on behind the scene, beyond the main storyline. The characters don't feel like mere plot devices, but rather with their own back story and their own agenda. If that's not enough, I believe this game has really planned out a good storyline as well - seeing as every detail in the story seems deliberate and well thought out. It's still in the primary stage of development and I think what I'm seeing is just prelude to something of a grander scale. My respect and best of luck to the dev - I hope he manages to take this game to a whole new level.

good game and new ideas of magic theme adult game renders are excellent good story line and above all its free all characters are good looking ones the game developer has some good thinking keep it up overall very good all should try to play it let give atry u will see thank u kthulian for this game

Ataegina Version 0.2.6N

This is one of best games I have ever played!! I mean all games, adult or not!!

The story is amazing, the world is something else, the characters are unique, not just the appearance but predominantly the personality, they look and act so differently it's hard to believe they are all written by the same person.
I could go on and on about this game but you need to try it yourself it's FREE!!
The weakest point of this game are the graphics but it's just because everything else is perfect.

I rate this with deserved 5 stars.

PS: Thanks Dev for mentioning F95zone ingame, I would never find this place otherwise.

The reason why i am rating Ataegina so soon is because it deserves and i want to see it grow more and more, i really like the fantasy genre in general, books,games,movies, i like it because usually this genre is the one who provides the best stories, and its really hard to create a good fantasy VN, Kthulian is creating a really good one, Ataegina seems to take inspiration in Elder Scrolls,The Witcher,Baldurs gate and more, so far most of the sex scenes contributed for the plot in some way, the combat system and the spells really reminds me of D&D, the soundtrack is really catchy, the ladies are very pretty and the stories are amazing, and since now you can go in 3 different paths, Evil, Good and Neutral you can add diversity to the mix as well, so if you like a good story with some beautiful ladies you better try this one fast and you can thank me later for the tip.

v0.2.5b

as of now, the game looks to be really promising. the highlight of Ataegina would have to be the story. it's interesting and has quite a bit of lore. the pacing is just right. a lot of unique characters. the gameplay is also nice, gives you a feel of free-roam while being a VN. as for the mc, you get to shape his personality(good/evil/neutral). there are choices to make, some affecting the mc's alignment(good/evil) and other stats, the rest are for different scenes. the only criticism for this game would be the graphics. first of all, no animations(not really a big deal for me, but worth pointing out). the scenes are also not really well made(visually). while the models are beautiful, the expressions and poses, especially the sex scenes are somewhat lacking. also, the characters/models are not part of the environment(can't really explain better than this, you will see once you play). well all things considered, this(visuals) is a very minor let-down for me, 'cause the story and characters are well made to the point that this can be ignored. can't wait for future updates.

This game has a lot of potential to me. It's a very good start with a very fleshed out world and interesting characters and it appears the MC will actually have some real choice in how to shape their story a little. I really wish they had a Patreon for more direct support as this one would actually deserve it if the quality remains the same going forward.

Extraordinary, deserving at least "7 stars".
(v0.2.5b)

I do not many reviews (too lazy for that text-minimum). But this game needs one absolutely. I'm so excited.

Dev did most things alright to perfect. And where the game lacks, he is very communicative and willing to listen to the users. Small but very active community btw.

I guess he has hit some nerve with me. At nights, in my dreams, I am in this game, in this world. So what could be better as an experience than this.

Btw. Dev is not at Patreon for some reasons, but there is a possibility to send some support money via "Buymeacoffee". It is with paypal, so very easy fortunately. Very recommendable, he deserves it.
.

There is one review with 1 star, which is screwing up the average (of course, everyone is free to share his opinion). But still I like to comment this:

The text of the review is fine and accurate. Great, great, great… (3x).
So why only one star (terrible; worst rating possible). ? Minimal choices? I do not agree.

1 star is imo, if one is quite sure, that the game is so bad that almost no one in the world would be able to enjoy something in it.

Anyway, I love that so many ppl give best rating. Looking forward…

(v0.2.5b)

Ataegina is an interesting and ambitious game. It's a sword and sorcery fantasy game where you are raised in a school for mages. Your choices in the game determine your moral alignment, your skill with various schools of magic, and your relationship with the other characters in the game.

There has recently been a major split in the main path of the game based on your alignment. These three paths (Good, Neutral, and Evil) are either going to make the game great, or make it collapse under its own weight. I'm going to be tentatively optimistic and hope for the best here.

this is my first time playing this and i have to say as far as potential goes this is definitely a 10/10. The world is incredibly fleshed out if you like to get into that part and if you dont you do give the option to skip and the magic, alignment, and love systems i ca tell have all been very well thought out to make a very comfortable base to mess around with. that and since you include multiple schools of magic you have a whole slew of potential fetishes you can put in, pretty sure you already thought of mind control since you put that into the illusion description . overall like i said i am incredibly impressed and i will definitely be keeping y eye on this game and quite possibly be donating once i get a little extra income. once again while not finished yet i definitely recommend at least giving this game a shot.

Pros:
Great renders
Great story
English is decent, understandable

Con's:
This isn't really game, there's minimal choices so it's more of a book rather than anything
There are no animations so far

If you're looking for more of a comic with minimal choices this is great, but if you're looking for more of a video game video game, you might want to take a pass on this one

a very promising story and love the freedom to be good or evil.... really hot characters and i would recommed anyone playing to go through the story development parts and avoid skipping it for only porn..you really feel immersed into the game and the storyline.. cant wait for all future updates..well done!!

My Rating of this Game (v0.2.1 ) is:

Pros:
+ Fantastic Renders
+ Nice Story
+Fantastic Animations
+Dungeon & Dragons Surrundings
+Beautiful Mystical Settings
+Nice Backround Music

Cons:
-None

Conclusion:
The Game Play is Great hear,also the Game details are great,love all this Magic and Skills in this Game.
Reminds me of the Dungeon Keeper Times
It is definitely worth the download.

Ataegina is a excelent game, with good story, good graphics and good sexual content. 5 star voted. Of course, there is a lot to improviment to do yet. Developer is a charismatic and that make all difference in the promotion of the game.

Ataegina
Fantasy, school, magic and sex. Hairy Potter here!

Date of review: 4/1/19
Version: 0.2.1 Beta

Story:
Writing is basic and could use more flair. However, the story is pretty interesting and engaging with perfect pacing (never a dull moment, always has something going on). Only two complaints are that some characters are spontaneously known to MC without introduction and one of the characters has a plothole.

Graphics:
Renders and overall graphics are average, lots of unique outfits and backgrounds. Animations are dull and don't add much to the game.

Gameplay:
Overall game resembles a VN with meaningful choices (there is karma and various schools of magic depending on your choices). However, later in a game some sandbox features are introduced, but it's not a bad thing in this case. Gameplay lacks H scenes (no fetishes either), they are there, but scarce and sprinkled around too far apart in story.

Love this game so far! It actually feels like playing a video game, while retaining a good story like a true Virtual Novel. It's not like some games on here that revolve around getting the MC's dick wet (though its definitely still an option). Most games on here feel like they are written by 12 yr old virgins that have no idea how real conversations and life situations are actually like. Not saying this game has the best story I've seen on here, but it is a good one so far and diverse enough to keep your attention. Add the fact that it plays like a video game, yet feels like you're the star of a fantasy movie, and I gotta say so far it's damn good. If I was to down this game at all, it would only be for the sex scene renders. They're not horrible, but could be better. That one small thing doesn't kill the game for me though, as this game ticks all other boxes for me!

Writing is all over the place and map/background could use a lot of polish, but the plot is quite interesting, with a solid lore for this type of game, and the numerous characters are all generally memorable. The various magic school system is also great, though it feels very copy-pasted from Skyrim. Hope to see more use for it in future versions. The pacing at the beginning with the 10 years transition was rather obnoxious but things felt a bit more natural at the start of the free-roam. I shall also expect some good fantasy music in-game soon, Maybe some easy to use tracks from Adrian Ziegler or Kevin Mccleod? Regardless, this and Long live the princess opened a lot of hope for me in terms of medieval fantasy VN.

This is one of those games that is not a "porn game". It's definitely an adult game, with sexual scenes, but from the very beginning that is able to be played, you can tell this game is going to be more about substance and not just a cheap thrill for you to wank to.

It needs some revision, definitely looking forward to more content, but one look at the forum thread will tell you the Dev is dedicated to this game. I can only see this one improving over time.

Innovation: Most Ren'Py CYOA games are based on Conversation Choices effecting the gameplay and while that is partially true of this game, the developer takes it another step is actually giving you magical stats, karma choices and Spells as Situation Choices that effect the outcome of the situation. Whether you use a spell of a high enough level or not can result in your death, and I'm guessing at a certain point of the story if you haven't leveled your spells enough in one category you're going to be sorry.

So far the spells so far are amazing. Your primary magic stat also seems to effect the story somewhat at certain points based on what characters you want to interact with.

The story so far is also excellent, and is probably going to become quite entertaining. Though I do wish their was an in-game menu for keeping track of people's names and backgrounds.

All in all, I look forward to this one's development.
