Ren'Py - Completed - Ataegina [v1.0] [Kthulian]

really this is some good point of story for an adult game, with a lot of stuff u can do but keep in mind if theyr u think just end, its still warm up, well the missing one is not having some animation for the sex scene dunno i forgot but as far as i now the animation just when u use the portal to teleport other place

Thank you, Kthulian. Damn, I love my slave Calessa, especially when she calls me Master. HAHAHAHAHA! It's amazing, I've been looking for a decent medieval ren'py game for a long time, I didn't like any of the ones I tested, but this one is perfect.

One of the best games on the site. Act I has older, worse graphics, but Act II wouldn't dissapoint in that department, although not much of Act II content at the moment. Act 2 really improved upon tracking relationships, battle UI, UI in general, music, etc.

The game is quite linear; you are given a map to explore but only one of the options would yield any scene, i.e. only one way to progress.

Writing isn't the best I've seen, but it is pretty darn good. Plenty of sex scenes occur with considerable frequency, but not all of them involve the mc. There are dialogue choices - half of which are good/bad, and some actually do lead you down different paths w.r.t. the girls you can get with.

One of my few complaints is the semi-chaotic switching between scenes. One such case happened in Act 2 as well. I would also appreciate longer sex scenes with more options, but it isn't a major gripe since they occur often enough. At least in Act 1, there wasn't much point in mastering multiple schools of magic for battle.

All in all, I was quite happy with my time spent on this game. Definitely check this game out, and best of luck to the devs!

As of 0.5.1
Really good.

Now, let's give a note first, tho. It's a porn game. It knows it's a porn game. It embraces it. It's a really good porn game.

The story is fun and engaging, even if it takes a while to pick up. The start is not that interesting, but it slowly picks up. It's fun, it has it's twists and turns and is pretty likable.

What can I say, I liked the game. It feels as it's constantly setting up for "opening" in to a larger sandbox mode, where you would be able to pursue your own stuff, but it never does. And what sandbox elements there are... are quite empty, sadly.
My main problem with the game is the sheer amount of characters and how easily some of them just vanished for pretty big swats of the game. And it seems there are gonna be more... I want more time with Kat, damn it!

Anyway, good game, serious warning, you might lose a night of sleep playing it.

With all of the great reviews, I thought I would give this a try. I have not had a lot of great success finding decent adult fantasy games /VNs; unfortunately, this one was no exception.

I have to give the dev props for all of the work they have done. There is a whole bunch of content and there has been a whole lot of work done here. 5 stars for the effort alone. Seriously. Renders are solid, sex is pretty good and there are some unique locations I have not seen in other games. The characters are well thought out and there are a lot of interactions with a lot of different people and places.

The story seems to be well thought out but the dialogue does not really support the story and seems a bit rushed. The dots are not easily connected and it is easy to get lost and not know where the MC stands with the plot. It is also difficult to follow what your next steps are; there were times I just floundered and had to keep exploring random locations until I was able to move the story along.

Also, I don't think the game/story was really meant to support the "evil" path. In one play through I focused almost entirely on the evil choices yet the MC did not seem all that evil. I was expecting more "evil" interactions with the women. As it turns out, the MC is the nicest evil dude I have ever experienced.

Regardless, there are people who will like this so it is worth a download. I am glad I did and maybe after all the content is completed, the dev will go back and tighten things up. I will keep an eye on it for sure.

I was gonna give it 1, but out of pity im giving it 2.

The game is really really really bad. Its just plot and plot and plot, some combat and more plot (which is decent, but dont expect complex dialogues or language) and some random sex in between, most of the time performed by others and totally unrelated to the Mc. It is lame fanservice, since you can not move forward with anybody that i know of, you just get sex "because".
There are stats of love and corruption for the girls but they dont seem to matter at all.
Sex scenes are not even average, they are pretty basic, by the way.
A couple of attempts at animation, one of them will brake you brain.

The plot is about someone who is super powerful but is finding every now and then other someone that puts him to sleep with 0 effort. This person is never told what is going on, it doesnt matter what moment in the plot or who he is talking to.

The ending i got comes out of nowhere, there is no indication whatsoever that the mc is a deviant who would desire that outcome. Its like " we know this shit is bad and doesnt make much sense, how about we give you a lame fanservice ending with another really poor sex scene"?

Dont lose time with this cause its not worth it.

Edit 0.67

After finishing playing 0.5 skipping the ruhsed fanservice ending I found that If I payed more atention to the story I would know that there are 2 women that are supposed to be MC sisters. Which after a chain of logic deductions makes me feel sad cause the sex scenes feel numbing, there is no added value. You say whatever you fuck that character, you go to the next one, you fuck that character, and in between you may not notice that 1 of those is supposed to play an important role, but since you treat everyone the same, and everyone pretty much responds in the same way, it feel like everything is a dejavu.

For those reasons everything surroding the sex scenes is not working for me.
As for the rest of the game, the plot gets quite contrived, and all the battles inbetween make the experience draggy. Since sex scenes are almost there but not quite, many characters seem to be copypasted, and visually the game is kind of average, specially lighting, the game doesn't connect.

The amount of "content" deserves praise for sure, but in my opinion is clearly quantity over quality. In my opinion if the quality doesnt stand out, at some point all the content becomes numbing, which is my case.

Finished up till the recent update, and I have to say this game is pretty darn awesome.

The story is very gripping, and the world building is really, really well thought out.
And the girls, well they're simply gorgeous to say the least.
Turn based battle system, while some may find it repetitive, I didn't mind at all, and trying different spells/tactics for different foes was pretty fun.

Really great game, and definitely in my top 3 favorite fantasy adult games in this site, if not my absolute favorite.

This game, has the best system of choices I’ve ever seen. I hope that the developer builds even more important choices in each of the paths.

Honestly it has been a difficult task to find another game with the freedom of ataegina! I'm happy that this game is unique and deeply original. one of the biggest gems on this site

Ataegina is one of the best stories of any adult game you will find, it has a bit of everything and plenty to keep you interested, honestly i would happily play this game even without the adult content.

The art is top quality especially in the locations, there was clearly a lot of effort put into it but while the human women are great the non human women could use a little work.

Its nice to have a more normal MC in regards to women but the MC dosent learn, at one point there are four fake illusions in a row and every single time the MC thinks its real never once thinking maybe its a trap and i should not just do as they say, the only other problem with him is you cant change the MCs attitude towards anyone no matter your alignment or relationship status in the story parts of the game.

While the game is really good it does have some flaws, its a sandbox game with turn based combat but it dosent need to be and would be much better as a straight VN, almost everything you have to do in the game you have to do in order anyway, there is loads of unnecessary map movement(where you only have one thing to do or you have to do in order anyway, same with point and click in rooms), negative alignment gives negative options but dosent change the character of MC outside of just after negative choices.

It has a great pace, not too fast that you feel rushed and never too slow that it feels boring and there is even a skip battle option for all the combat which is really good for replaying the game.

oh and one more thing please can we stop with the "i didn't kill you so i must be trust worthy" it's dumb logic right up there with children closing their eyes and saying if i cant see you, you cant see me.

Story 5/5 (one of the best)
Sex 3/5 (good but nothing amazing)
Characters 4/5 (great mix of characters)
Art 5/5 (top quality)
Choices 3/5 (good and evil but only outside of story)
Kinks 3/5 (some but much less than you would think)

Great storyline! Enjoy the fact you have a choice on whether to stay faithful and who to hook up with. So many games just assume you want to hook up with everyone or force you to cheat it's great to have a game that doesn't.

I'm not a fan of the writing at all. It all looks quite janky as well. I'm not sure what the alignment system does and it's a very basic one anyway. Evil people want to kill kittens because they're evil. Evil characters are better when they're just selfish assholes. At least you would want to play that way in a game. The combat is boring and the magic all feels the same making it kind of pointless. Maybe that changes later on, I couldn't say

The renders in the game are hot as hell, the combat system is engaging but not intrusive, the story is pretty good and even if it wasn't the renders are, again, fucking fantastic.

Also of note is that this game has been in development for a good while and the devs are still here and even update frequently which is less common than we would all like, so props to Kthulian for keeping up with this!

I really like this game's story, setting, characters and graphics, as well as how it handles combat, how it handles levelling up stats, it is a great game all around... I'm looking forward to see where it goes!

Ok....I wanted to try a fantasy combat-based sex game and this one came up with a good story according to some players. Plus, it seem to have a tons of stars.
Guess it's a style that might be appreciated by specific players but it wasn't for me.

- Renders (face and bodies) are ok for the ladies as far I as could see but most of the protagonists have weird and unnatural poses.
- Writing is basic and it feels like going through a teenager fantasy diary...boooooriiing !
- Sex scenes are not very appealing eg: the sex slave and Bredita (or whatever the name was) or between the teacher and the student. I've no idea if it gets better later on as I couldn't push further into the game.

Well...erased and forgotten.

Starting with the summary, "It's a pretty amazing game and one of my favourites".
It has a wide variety of characters and different paths depending how you wanna be in the game. Free roams are good and easy to understand. And the story is excellent. Every character seems to fit perfectly how it would really be. The monthly update system helps to get the story fresh and somewhat does the patreons justice for monthly charges. The plot is nice. Overall the good combo of everything and I love it the way it is.

(Review after one play through of v0.4.7, consistently choosing 'good')

SUMMARY
Great! One of the best examples of the genre floating around.

A fantasy visual novel with moderate sandboxing along the way.

PROS
Excellent writing, story, and renders.

Very engaging and plenty of content to keep you interested for many hours (2 days for me, but if you are zippy and skip along for the myriad sexy scenes and don't what-if your choices you would finish much faster)

Lots of sex AND lots of story as well.

CONS
Sandboxing at times is really just hunting for what is next in the story line.

At the beginning there's a bit of the 'click' add the next line on screen, 'click again' add the next line on screen type action that's a little tedious, but it doesn't last.

Work in Progress (not complete, but as noted there's a lot there already). It's currently at a decent break point if the developer wanted to split it into separate books/parts.

Some spelling/grammar errors pop up along the way, but they don't really detract from the story or game.


Highly Recommended. Give this one a try

(Edit: Noted version number of review)

Love this type of genre, and the dev NAILED IT!!

Pros :

• The story , the attention to details, the explanation, everything about that is great and very enjoyable. Love the idea of enabling the player to choose between 3 sides.
• Your choice DOES MATTER, it will shape your characters action, dialogue, etc
• There is a combat system here, and i love it! the dev able to make it enjoyable and easy to remember
• The girls are pretty and lovable, also the dev does a great job of making an inhuman character looks great and pretty. So a job well done!
• Already have a lot scenes, you could not get all the scenes in one playthrough. Sadly, the scenes are not all animated
• The background, the environment, the monsters, the enemy, etc looks great .

Had one hell of a blast playing this one! definitely up there on my list of favorite VN.

1 thing i have to say tho This VN need to have more side quest, i enjoyed the side quest that already available so far.

Props to the dev, you guys did an amazing job so far and worth supporting for. Keep it up, i could not wait for more

HAVE TO GIVE THIS ONE A TRY! ~

Wow, just wow! This is a brilliant game from start to finish!

Pros

• Excellent renders, graphics, and pictures
• Excellent story
• Excellent writing
• Excellent characters
• Excellent character development
• Excellent magic system
• Excellent combat system
• Most choices matter
• Good sex scenes
• Excellent mix of story and adult content

Cons

• It isn't finished
• I wish the game had more side quests and events, especially at the Mage's college (oftentimes there is only one or two events on the map but you have to search all 14 locations constantly to find them)
• There needs to be more events and conversations that aren't tied directly to the story
• The relationship points and good/corruption points need to be utilized more and more consistently with events tied to them
• More choices are needed at key points in the game (too much of the story/choices are forced)
• The English is good but not great - I encountered lots of spelling errors and missing words

Final Thoughts

The game is extremely well done and there is a very high attention to detail throughout it.

The story is very compelling and keeps you addicted the entire time. The story makes sense and the fantasy is plentiful yet believable.

The magic and combat system are very well done and functional.

I highly recommend this game and encourage others to give it a try!

WHAT. A. GAME.
For a long time I was searching for a good fantasy based game and at last I found it. It beats other games of the same type by standing out with a good plot, nice sex scenes and incredible character development.

In this fantasy based adult game you'll find yourself thinking about the choices you make and who you really are as a person or rather, who you'd like to become. The plot is thick with twists and turns, love and betrayal. You'll find yourself actually caring about the characters in the game beyond just wondering you can screw. With that said, you'll obviously have plenty of well made and written sexual encounters (so that both your hands are busy while playing )

Thanks to the different choices and paths in the game I found myself playing it over and over just to uncover more than the previous playthroughs. One of the best adult games I've played. Period. Do yourself the favor and play it!

Verdict:
+ Great atmosphere
+ Choices matter
+ Awesome sexual encounters
+ Engaging combat
+ Great character development
+ Fantastic story

- No animations
