Ren'Py - BangCity [v0.14a] [BangCityDev]

The 2 Stars are purely for the animations being original assets as for the story its pretty much a glorified hand job simulator, no real pay off to be had with unlikable characters including the Protagonist I cannot recommend this game there is very little in the way of action, just a monotonous grind to get through each chapter I gave up on the game halfway through the 4th Chapter through sheer boredom the content repeats, like Groundhog Day & with only slight changes to each passing day it becomes repetitive very VERY quickly.

wow, wow, wow: huge game, novel story, and beautiful renders/girls. I did not know why I waited so long to play this game, I know the Dev's work from a nice mod he made for a very popular sand box game, which I played with joy, but this is even up a couple of notches:

first, he found a fresh story, no need to corrupt all girls slowly to get your first HJ in Version 0.7, but here you aim to dominate them and become a gang leader already early on, later you can spank them at will. Plus, the "landlady"'s motivation to bang her tenant is someone plausible (for a porn game) and her corruption takes longer. Side girls are also good, so you have the perfect balance between steady lewd scenes and long term incentives.

With this, the game has - despite being sandbox - no grind at all, each day has a lot of action, and with the difference in slut-level you get hard core scenes quite quickly..

Then, the game is very long, I played hours, and the built in notification system made sure I always found the next step.

If you like popular sandbox titles with corruption in it, you will love this game, for sure.

Five stars, hands down

As of v0.11c
The game has decent renders and not all models are bad , the story started off nice with gangster theme after a while the game becomes boring with some inconsistent writing and Sandbox which is grind where you have to skip time a lot and money and free roam with specific activities at specific time , bugs and old saves which causes error and closes the game while playing almost making it unplayable .
2 stars for this game except for some models ( added 1 star ) , Grinding sandbox and poor writing ruins this game .

The game starts great, huge potential. A unique scenario where mc has some opportunity to be someone great, he has a plan, just needs to execute Unfortunately it goes downhill from chapter 2 onwards. The guy lose everything, starts from beginning again while trying to get handjobs from his landlady, ends up being a porn director. chapter 3 is a chore fest, where you have do same thing over and over again. i think developer ran out of ideas and decided to go with the good old, throw them the grind formula

Everything has to happen during night. You don't do anything during the day other than chatting with your landlady during breakfast

Hint : If skip time button is the most pressed button, stay away from that game

endless bugs even after restarting and avoiding choices that apparently bug the game, but there are so many issues where you loop without advancing that I give up. characters will state things that have not been choosen, mc will ignore choices, events marked on UI will not be possible to trigger (many times there is a ! mark highlighting where to continue and MC refuses to go there or the marks are on incorrect timings - many events/many locations!) other locations aren't marked at all but have events... UI utterly nonsensical such as the notepad and rent due in minus 10 days etc, etc. it's a complete chore to play and the sandbox is done in the most buggy way I have seen in a LONG, long time. Requires major overhaul to be brought in a playable state and from what I witnessed I seriously doubt that will happen correctly. (without bugs the game would also not surpass mediocrity).

Review for 0.09b
So i played through the content there is now. And you can see someone has put in a lot of effort to craft a story and make the duality of the character shine through. I personally do not think it worked 100%, but it is interesting nonetheless. It does create feeling that there sometimes are two different games being developed.

Renders are nice and some of the characters are pretty hot, so that's a plus.

I am personally not much of a fan of incest stuff so the whole storyline with Valerie just drags on forever, especially in the later levels where i felt the whole crime part of the plot gets put on the back burner for a while.

So yeah in conclusion: If you like incest games and can stomach a little strange crime drama this game is for you. If you like crime drama style games and can stomatch some incest stuff, again this game is for you.

Интересная история, нетривиальные персонажи, незаезженные модели. История развивается логично и неторопливо, но вместе с тем не затянуто. Хотелось бы больше музыкального и звукового сопровождения, иначе то что есть немного приелось, но это не критично.

Interesting story, non-trivial characters, unworn models. The story develops logically and slowly, but at the same time it is not delayed. I would like more music and sound, otherwise what is a little boring, but it is not critical.

This game has some element of potential - that someone will evetually be inspired by the plot premise and decide to to re-write it into a completely new game. The basic idea of the game is great, the executionof writing is terrible. I do not want to bash the author because clearly he did a lot of work best way he could. But the dialogues are really insultingly stupid. The result is that any immerson is utterly impossible. Its kindof sad to see the game has content, fair artwork, and a relatively fresh idea wasted by sloppy writing.

It s difficult if it is worth rating five stars, but if you compare the original work, with new characters and faces, an amazing script with two ways (or different lifes), in comparison with other hand other fail and fake games, with poor characters, without scrypt, without personality and nothiing new to enjoy.... Then this game deserves 7 stars, congratulations.

On the other hand it is a litlle stressing follow the walkthrough to enjoy the game

Found the 0.5 version on my disk and tried it. Wow ... this is a shitshow. I stopped even before any "sandbox" elements showed up. The first choice you get, doesnt change anything (grope or fuck Linda) - worst start ever.

Than there is the whole "story" ... this feels more like something out of the mind of a child/teen, that dont understand how life works. The final goal is to fuck all the mean used bitches? I mean - we could have fucked the head bitch right away. Mission accomplished.

Then the MC doesnt even have a real plan. Humiliate the gang and leave the criminal live ... ?? Oh and then he rents a trailer (and thats a camper ... not a trailer) and rents the basement of that woman - already forgot what she were - his granny or some social worker. nvm. He pays her 250$/month for a basement? Why? ... I bet to add some kind of moneysink think to the upcoming "sandbox"? So he pays 400$/month for 2 "bases of operation" instead of using that money to get himself a decent small flat? sure.

Sorry, all that hits me so hard I cant get immersed into the game and that is needed to have fun.

I really liked this game, it has a new type of story with a little bit of cliché which i don't mind honestly. Renders are good and the sex scenes are great. if i had to change something about this game is the bad grammars and spellings as well as i would like to have the choice for having the MC acting nice sometimes instead of having him full asshole mode for the whole game.

"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."

I really enjoyed the overarching plot and twists in this game, as it encompasses all the classic elements of a good story. Although the standalone routes weren’t by any means remarkable, they were great at building suspense and a sense of urgency to figure out the pieces of the puzzle in order to solve the mystery. The universe of this games grows increasingly more complex and interesting the further you delve into the storyline. This demonstrates solid world-building and good storyline pacing by the writers.

Sure, the writing might be not top notch, but it doesn't feel ridiculous to me and fits the theme of revenge hence the male domination here. While he degrades the gang ladies he can chose to not do that to the "landlady" but well... still take advantage of her in a cunning way. good enough.

Gameplay might be repetitive but not in a way a grindfest. You might have to do the same interaction everyday but it always progress deeper into the story each day. I have no problem with that.

Why I only gave 4/5 stars is because if you are not following the steps in the walkthrough, you'll likely run into problems that might break the game. I hope the dev can find a solution to this. That said, I played this game till the end of 0.6 version successfully and only run into 1 bug for the whole playthrough, just pay attention to what's happening in the screen and what the character say and you'll be fine.

Renders are average, animations are few and far between. And short. My big issue with this game is the writing. First, it's not even Engrish. After 10 minutes of playing I couldnt stop myself from reading the dialogue in a Russian accent in my head.

Second, the dialogue was soooo unbelievable:

MC (to Step mom): You're gonna give me a hand job
SM: But I'm your step om!
MC: No, you're just a drunk!
SM: Are you kidding?
MC: No, as a matter of fact, your going to blow me!
SM: I am NOT! I'm not that kinda girl!
MC: Yes you are!
SM: No way in HELL!
MC: Yes you are, because you are a money-grubbing whore!
SM: OK.

Now this is my take on it, but it's not too far from EVERY INTERACTION the MC has with almost EVERY female. In a Russian accent.

Sorry, between the "Russion-grish" and the poor dialogue I just have to hit DELETE.

Well i would give 2 stars only if i was not a big fan of crime life games . The renders are not bad some girls are hot like the mother and gina . The general story is ok it could be done way better with some changes to the plot ,tho my biggest problem whith this game is the mc who is a complete retarded dweeb . This is the worst personality an mc can have he dont know what he is talking about , think of something and back off of it 3 seconds later. cant choose a clear path where he leave the crime life and have a honest one with his mom since he want revenge and keep talking about it non stop but at the same time he dont want to be a gangster or make any hard decision, just a coward with a big mouth . Oh his biggest dream is to fuck some used bitches when he can take over the whole fucking city!

4c version

Love almost all of the stuff that is playable. Only major negative is the current length.

Only thing that I want is more content and more forcing/blackmail etc. kind of stuff.
Now the jump from "I will not suck" to "do what you want" is bit too rushed on gang ladies part.

I really like this game. Yeah, it's a bit trashy, but I can have fun with a game like that.

The "landlady" looks really good and yes the reasoning behind the incest content is the usual silly BS (again, I can work with that ), it's still fun.

Since the optional "less cursing" variant it doesn't feel quite as inane anymore and for a quasi-sandbox game the plot progresses nicely with enough variations not to be bored out of your mind.

OK Here is my take on 0.03.

The game writing is quite childish and sounds like schoolyard banter half the time. It's REALLY a turnoff. It's a shame because the renders are good and the story is not half bad. But constantly you hear BITCHES and ima FUK them all... IDK maybe it's me? The girls are alright but again it's schoolyard banter constantly. Then in 0.03 you had to start over due to var changes by the dev. IMO this is the most infuriating thing a dev could do. Give a save OR let us skip to the new content. Again this is just BAD planning. If the writing was better I'd start over but to me it's not worth the time and for the time being I'm just going to delete and forget. Sorry but not sorry. There are PLENTY of games here I have started over it's annoying but I will and then there are those I won't.

Pro's
Decent renders
Nice looking girls MOSTLY
Story line COULD be really good but needs polished BAD

Con's
Old saves no good
WRITING WRITING WRITING
Childish
MC starts off a good person and turns into a COMPLETE DOUCHE.
BITCHES
IMA FUK THEM ALL

I wish I could give this 4 and half stars, because it's good with room for improvement. I love the slightly sadistic mentality of the main character and his dynamic with the stepmom. The motivation for corrupting the gang wives is good. The game could use a slightly better path to corrupting mother though. Feels like you're going to get there too easy. No need to rush that with the game offering easy paths to sex with other characters. The females in the gang could use more individualized personalities and corruption paths. The game overall could use more choices for variety. There seems to be new characters on the horizon. Hopefully they are given a proper motivation for corruption. Overall, I like the game. It's at the very least more original than much of what gets made these days.

A bit confused on the reviews I have read its not long or good if i am being honest at all Story Your a gang member that constantly says he is not a gang member all the males in your gang have been thrown in jail so you start to try and bang all of their girls or bitches that they left behind thats basically it for now Game play is you wait till certain point in the day to initiate certain convos with characters which results in a couple sexual scenes every Character are bland whores and none of them have a personality in the slightest to talk about because they all seem the same
