[ Review for version – 0.11.00 ] [ UPDATED: for version 0.11.11 ]
TL;DR: Boobageddon is a really flashy VN with buxom babes and a mixed genre setting combining the supernatural, and space sci-fi, mixed in with a harem and a repopulate the world element. I really enjoy this game because of the good humour delivered by the dialogue and writing, and the titillating character designs. Chapter two introduces us to even more characters, and juicy lore! There's so much more flashy content, beautiful characters, and endearing dialogue!
UPDATED: Chapter 3 release, should probably be called Chapter 3 part 1. It revolves around Elizabeth, the MC's Landlady/friend/mother. More long-awaited good stuff in this release!
The Good:
The game is visually amazing! A cut above a lot of AVNs I’ve played before. The sex scenes have an amazing bounciness to it, and a lot of juice. Even many exposition scenes have a crazy amount of detail and animation to them. The characters so far are funny and charming. The introduction of yet more characters that each bring their own personalities and sexy scenes has be excited for Chapter 3!
The Average:
The game is still laying groundwork with many plot points left to be laid out. What’s there so far is good and promising.
UPDATED: What we've seen in Chapter 3 so far has piqued my interest because it raised some new questions about the world-building.
The Bad:
Still nothing so far. It’s a very good VN up until now.
Thorough Review:
Story: Good.
The story so far isn't fully established, but here's the brief: A witch apprentice from an ancient coven uses a forbidden ritual which leads to two primordial Gods being released. A man (the MC) accidentally intrudes on the ritual and becomes the host of one of the Gods. In the calamity, all males on the planet disappear, and in the aftermath the MC is taken to a space station for analysis. The space station, controlled by 'Earth Force' seek to use the MC's newfound powers to save humanity. Shortly after, the MC is rescued/kidnapped from the Earth Force by a witch and demon who also mean to save humanity. Motivations from either party is unclear, and all the while MC is worried about what has happened to the people left behind at home.
Update: With chapter 3, we step into a world after Armageddon that looks surprisingly stable, not at all like Earth Force described it. Why could this be?
Characters: Great!*
*Can be amazing, but they aren’t fully developed yet.
The main character is on an upward trajectory. He starts out as very insecure and unwise, but through out the the chapters he grows bit by bit, something other characters point out to him. The other characters mostly fit neatly into established tropes and I’m sure you’ll find a few that you’ll like.
Updated: So far we've been introduced to 4 characters in the prologue, 7 in chapter 1, 8 in chapter 2, and the first part of Chapter 3 has delved into one of the characters of the prologue.
Gameplay: Competent.
It’s a Ren’Py VN. You click, read, click, watch animated cut scene, click, read. Many of the scenes do look amazing though, so that really helps make clicking forward a treat.
Visuals: Amazing!
I have not seen many VNs as flashy and attractive as this one! The characters look fantastic, and there is a lot of bounce and juice in the animations that really make this game pop! The anime aesthetic, and extremely buxom babes, are not going to be to everyone’s tastes, but it really works for me.
Summary: Great!
This update has me continuing feeling really excited to see how this game develops. Boobageddon has potential for an interesting narrative, and show a lot of promise in the lovey-dovey department.
Updated: And what I've seen so far in Chapter 3 has continued to keep me excited.
Wishlist:
> I want kissing and post-coital cuddling! Throw some sugar in with all that spice! I’ll even settle for hand-holding.
> Bring back the Protagonist’s (insert relationship status) sooner rather than later. I’m really excited for their relationship to develop. (It's happening!)
> Keep doing what you’re doing with the scene dressing and sex animations. It’s such a treat to the eye.
> Try to narrow down which characters and plot points are going to get the most development. Right now, there are a lot of directions this can go and if all of them are explored simultaneously then this project with move forward at a glacial pace.
> Pregnancy, not just impregnation, but that we get to see a time-lapse where the population count start going up again.
> HAND-HOLDING!!
