Ren'Py - Barbarian Chronicles [v0.1] [EpicLust]

Another Epiclust creation packed with the wry silliness, ridiculous proportions and unapologetically hackneyed universe we have come to know and love. This one is a Conan ripoff which fits those themes perfectly and might shape up to be his best work yet.

I didn't notice any improvements in gfx/anims but it's a very deliberate style of porno and it either works for you or not. For me it unfortunately doesn't, but that didn't ruin my enjoyment of the game. Fortunately Epiclust's writing and humor have surpassed their already excellent (for f95 games) standard, and it's always good to see someone getting better at their craft.

Not really a fan of the sandbox/management elements, but again this is Epiclust's forte and it's implemented well even though I didn't bother playing through to the end esp cus it's the first release. I give it a 4/5 rounded up to 5/5 to countervene the inevitable unreasonable 1 stars. Cheers and bully to ya mate.

Love the opening. Seeing all the pictures of all the beautiful ladies and exotic locations. And the music is good to. Gets you pumped for a hard world out there.

And I did get a laugh out of DEV-EL-OPPER calling out the player for not being over the age of eighteen. I am actually kind of surprised I have never seen this happen before where a wizard would break the forth wall to the player in a medieval world. Even like how the wizard says that the MC was based on him when he was younger. Makes DEV-El-OPPER mysterious. Is he telling the truth and grew up in this world and was quite muscular as a teenager? Or is he blowing smoke out of his ass? Either way, still great personality.

Also like how your curser is an axe. That was a nice touch.

Also love the designs of the characters. Just love their huge breasts but surprisingly medieval outfits. The queen has a more regal outfit while her minions have armor more designed for battle.

And like how the game has humor not just for the wizard but even just the side characters like Thoren. Like when he says, Come, young hero, we must go back down to our village. I’m freezing my nuts up here.” Yeah, after that epic speech about how you are destined to lead your people, he is very practical in saying let’s get out of this freezing cold.

HATE the restriction of not being allowed to see rape and murder. I mean COME ON! This is supposed to be a fantasy game that looks like it is based off of the Cohan series where brutality and death are waiting around every corner. And everyone here playing this game should be over 18. Patreon has always been restrictive to creators to make the content not talk about events that happened. Recommend you move your operations to SubscribeStar or somewhere else where you do not have to worry about towing certain topics. I want to see the bad stuff happening in this world because it gives me the motivation to want to make it a better place.

And for the intro, try to give the evil empire a bit more forces. Just having the princess and one commander attack a village does not make it an overwhelming threat.

This next part was small but really like how MISO-HOR-NEE gives you a massage on your back before having sex. This really does help sell that you were just in a fight to the death a few minutes ago. And even shows the care she has for you. Also love the stomach bulge you give her during her sex scene. And it is animated and very well done. And do love the cum-inflation of her belly after blowing your load.

The sex scenes when you get back to your village are also good. Though if I had to nick pick, do feel like the MC had TOO easy of a time getting back to his village. Odysseus had to take a long 10 years to return to his home. Try to add some challenge to this part. Really make it feel like you are going on a journey to escape from the evil queen’s reach. Needing to avoid patrols and seeing the evil her empire is doing. Could also help the players better get accustomed to fighting in the wild.

For players who want to enjoy this game, recommend lowering your expectations on how much content there is. This is literally the first release and while a lot of great stuff in here, still very much in development.

I like the setting of this game. It has both the map with hexes approach from Apocalypse and the city map of Cockham morphed to a village. Plus the by now well known sense of humour from Epiclust. While completely different from Battle of the Bulges a strategy component is also introduced.

And now he did it again. Crowds of busty women (probably related to the protagonist), stupid intolerant jokes, references to everything (including politics), the beginnings of gameplay that will probably someday be completed (they will not)... everything we like, if summarize.

This is pretty much a "Conan The Barbarian" parody, BUT you get to name your character whatever you want, and there are of course variations in the plot between this and the actual movie. And I got to say, that so far, I found the way that he has done it is pretty damn cool! Plus it looks like it has a lot of potential. By no means will this be a small or even medium sized project. Because it is not just a porn game, but it also seems that it will be a resource management game for your barbarian village, and eventually there will be some animated combat.

Only time will tell though. But with the few examples he has, it looked a lot more in-depth than I originally anticipated it to be. And actually I am finding myself becoming excited about this project.

EpicLust is clearly a fan of the movie. And that's cool for he is really loyal to the source material of Conan, BUT as I said before: he puts his own twist on it. Even though this is just the intro it has been pretty funny as well as intriguing. I appreciate the well balanced injections of humor, serious violence, and of course the sex with big titted babes. The main villianess Queen Kramis looks like the most interesting character that our super ripped MC will eventually encounter, but I figure that won't be till the very end of this epic tale. In the meantime this looks like it's going to become something great. I strongly suggest everyone try the intro and see for themselves. And if you like it, help him out and subscribe to his patreon page. For the Gods are watching you!
