VN - Ren'Py - Bright Lord [v1.13.1 Fix] [KissKiss Studio]

I rate all games based on 4 parameters.

Art/Render 7/10

Overall the renders look really good they just look a bit stiff. The jiggle during animations is not nearly enough.

Story 6/10

It's alright. You being mind controlled (not exactly) by some ancient demon and made to go around and fuck your family isn't exactly the most interesting thing in my opinion but its okay.

Gameplay VN/10

Typical VN with a few choices and a lot of text.

Amount of Content 7/10

There is a lot of content but the distribution for people who actually read is not very good.

4/5 overall solid VN with a few small issues.

Word of advice to devs out there: When creating characters, on a sexiness scale of 1-10, shoot for 7s, 8s, and 9s. The dev here tried to make everybody a 25, and that simply doesn't work. When every character has a body and face a supermodel would kill for, the end result is extremely lifeless and boring.

When MC's mom and sisters are hanging around the house, they're always dressed like they're attending the gala event of the century or they're lounging around in exotic underwear like some billionaire's housepet.

The hair, eyeliner, fake fingernails, clothing, and high heels are all black, as are the paintings on the wall and everything else. All black is neither sexy nor spooky. It's just lifeless and boring.

The demon story is good, and technical aspects of the writing (spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc.) are excellent, but the human dialogue is boring, and the medieval demon dialogue is laughable. Most characters are unpleasantly bitchy.

The UI is very good with two exceptions: MC's thoughts are rendered in gray, which is hard to read, and there's a strange intermediate menu which adds extra keystrokes if you simply want to save your game. Aesthetically, it's excellent.

I recommend demanding your mother's ID before having sex with her. She looks exactly like your little sister.

Animated 3D game, an original story with decent lore, plus a legit plot device that drives LIs cock crazy? 5 stars.

Minus 1 star that it went through 1 reboot, but I'm hopeful this game will eventually get the complete tag. Potential 5 stars then!

I played it before rework, and it was good, little bit funky but good. Story was intriguing, art was good. Then developer (i believe name was santaras) Announced rework, and i thought as most games rework, will not be as good and i didn't touch it after that. Boy was that a mistake.
Now story is really progressing, characters are interesting, each with their own berry, art as i mentioned was good, now for me even better.
After joining Discord sever i saw how invested and detalied Dev makes updates and dev Logs ( That's another thumbs up for me)
Also will buy game on steam to support the dev,
So i suggest to try it, and not to skip to fucking scenes.
Can't wait how the story will continue.

Bright Lord is honestly one of the better adult games out there. The art is beautiful, the world feels alive, and there’s actually a real story to get into — it’s not just random scenes thrown together. The characters are well-designed, with different looks and personalities, and the game mixes solid strategy elements with the adult content really well.

Scenes are hot but also feel earned because the writing is actually good. Plus, the game looks and plays super smoothly, which makes it easy to get lost in for hours.

If I had to nitpick, almost all the characters have pretty much the same body proportions. Would've been nice to see a bit more variety there. But honestly, that’s a small thing in an otherwise great experience.

Everyone's taste is different. To me, this game is a solid 5/5.

I thought the game was great before the rework. But the rework made it EVEN better .

This is a great, interesting game with beautiful character models. All the ladies in this game are all gorgeously beautiful, even our BADDIES! The renders are superb! The story is simple, easy to follow, and engaging. I LOVE the interactions/relationships between all the characters, especially MC & Mr. Bright Lord himself. The animations are improving. I believe this game is just going to get better with every update .

All the content in the gallery is mmm, mmm, mmm, delicious! This game has SOME beefy content for you to enjoy .

I guess the only negative thing I can say about it is, "After it's finished, I'm always wanting more .

4.4/5
Pretty interesting story and characters, high quality renders. Some of the texts ended up being too long and I skipped through but it still seems like quite an interesting story.

Hoping to see more content with MC accepting the corruption rather than actively pushing against it for so long.

While browsing for new stories to assimilate entertain myself on these dire times, I stumbbled with this one by complete accident...Wish I had accidents like this one more often because I had a great time, Bright Lord be praised.

Story: 4 Solid Bananas out of 5
Supernatural elements are hard to work with because they work on a fine line, they operate in a fragile balance that is harder and harder to mantain the further the plot develops. Bright Lord works because the dev managed to keep these supernatural elements somewhat coherent with what we know or believe is possible.
Would have loved that my decisions could have a bigger role on the plot, but I respect the kinetic storytelling when its interesting to read, and more importantly, when I was never promised that my decisions would matter from the start.
The story is correspondingly dark from beginning to end (of current version), and the setting works well for the mind control and other morally reprehensible interests, I suggest giving instances to the player to explore these options depending on current love/corruption score.

Characters: 4 Solid Bananas out of 5
They all look good, and here's the big but: where are the redheads man? This is the perfect way to get into the RCB's (Redhead Control Burau) Bad Boy's list.
I would say they are well written, in Chloe's case I would say maybe too-well written: she's a insufferable brat sometimes, but there's a reason for that so I approve and will endure with her personality, just like every man does when the booty is too good to let it walk away.
Even when they look absolutely gorgeous, their personalities dont vary enough: Chloe and Liza for example, they look different from each other, but they are so similar at the same time.
Liked the lack of chemistry at first between MC and the Bright Lord himself, how he even mentions another char would have made a better host but he decides to stay nonetheless, even makes a joke later, that's relationship development, well done dev.

Mechanics: 5 Adamant-Hard Bananas out of 5
No puzzles or minigames, as the Bright Lord likes it.
Didn't managed to score a single secret code though, and oh boy I tried.

Content: 4 Solid Bananas out of 5
Scenes and renders are good, would love to have more control over the actions, but the in-game gallery has everything you have unlocked to revisit as much as you want.

Ending: *404*
Pending of Rating, will revisit when is ready.

Bright Lord is an interesting AVN: It remains coherent despite the fantasy setting, managed to make the dark fantasy work in a modern environment in conjunction with the adult elements, and made stunning heroines feel like real people too.
Please Dev, don't rush it, give your story enough time and space to develop all the characters, you did a promising work here, don't waste it just to haste progress.
For now... Congrats.

Giving this 4 stars out of 5 mostly due to the direction the story is going in after the rework. Wasn't a great fan of mind control & corruption and outside of Emily, none of the other characters were particularly redeemable or likeable at first.
We now see Chloe and Margarie and even Liza to a lesser extent soften up towards the MC and want to be with him.

Now, I see the MC is actually a decent guy, trying to keep his family together and alive, meanwhile there seems to some actual romantic tension and feelings between all the LIs.

I disagree with the previous review, the supernatural element has been thoroughly explained, whether THEY like it or not is subjective and shouldn't really matter except whether it makes sense in the story dev is trying to tell. In my opinion it does, and it's original enough for me to be invested in it.

I'm also looking to see if we can turn the antagonist around (or at least one of them) and given their connection to MC's father, if they will also be able to be redeemed.

I tried multiple times to get into this AVN but I just cannot

The super natural element is absolutely terrible in this one. There is no real explanation how this happened to the MC. THe LI's are very hot but that is really the only positive thing I can say about this AVN

To me its unplayable

Edit: Dev DM'd me after this review to chastise me for leaving this review. I wish I could give you negative scores now

As much as I'd like to give this 5 stars, I can't justify it, because I agree with a lot of the issues people have with this game. Most strongly I dislike how kinetic the story feels, even with a lot of "decisions" which on the surface are absolute opposites of each other, but change practically nothing. Sometimes the story itself doesn't keep track which you chose. Frankly, they feel more like fetish avoid options, but mostly without the fetish avoidance.

But I still enjoyed most of it immensely. My most major complaint is the style of corruption and how it dances between the people changing and mind control. I REALLY dislike mind control corruption, it misses the entire point in my opinion. I don't really care if the corruption is from lust or romance, but mind control ain't it for me. And somehow, this game does all three at the same time on everyone. It's hard to describe, but over all, I didn't hate it. At parts I did, but as I said, it's hard to describe.

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it, but I enjoyed it more than I disliked it. I played 1.5.0, where the latest few chapters were my favourite, so my rating might be affected by that. The most important parts of the story are the start and the end and the current content ends at it's best. I might change this review if my feelings change with future updates, but for now, I'd recommend it.

The writing just isn't there. Sure the visuals are great and a good amount of effort has been put into the technical side of things, but the characters are not engaging let alone enticing. The story has a decent premise, but the execution is too incoherent.

Fun game with beautiful sex scenes!

At times I struggle with how silly the plot is for it to be taken so seriously, but the game rewards me with hot content every time I start to regret the time I've spent reading the plot. And it's worth it every time.

This game has one of the hottest characters I've seen in any game I've played, with excellent renders , animations. and it has a good pace However, at some point, the characters become really irritating,.

The VN has good renders and honestly good pacing which is a problem a lot of visual novels don't address but beyond that its just bad writing all the way down. Characters are extremely boring and simple, acting impulsively and irrationally, if this had been explained in the plot that'd be more forgivable but some of these motherfuckers are out here having screaming matches every other scene and they're supposed to be actual adults. Idk just seems like a lot. Still the pacing is genuinely good, with scenes keeping a brisk momentum and you're never really greeted by walls of unnecessary text which is nice. A lot of VNs just have characters spew dialogue at you that's either uninteresting, poorly written, or completely unnecessary and for the most part this game doesn't do that even if the writing itself isn't great, at least there's not much of it yknow. Only reason this gets average instead of poor is because of the production value though which I was actually surprised with, there's music, interesting scenes, even some bordering on creepy, audio stings, etc. Its clear the author put in work here and if they could improve their writing abilities or include a writer in their next project I think they could actually make some nice stories.

Great renders and beautiful models - this is all that is good in this game. Writing is bad to imbecilic levels. Characters irritating, dumb, immature and in general they behave very irrationally for the sake of childish drama. Mother is an aggressive tyrant; the older sister is a dumb bitch; MC is a moron with "I'm always wrong" syndrome, and only the younger sister is fine most of the time. Story and events are soaked with cheap drama based on characters stupidity and immature behavior. The story premise is good, but delivery is just horrible. A lot of plot holes, inconsistencies and generally low-quality writing ruin even the slightest possibility for immersion in the story.

For this game to be fine, it needs a writer who, before writing this mess, at least googled "how to write a simple script"

Rapes his own mom

MC: "Apparently I'm the bad guy here!"

Yeah...sums up the writing of this particular VN. So another one with high-quality bimbos, very hot, jerky-jerky fucky fucky. But you feel bad wanking to this because apparently everyone is socially inept than a pimple-faced teenager.

Margarie is such a bona fide crackhead trailer park mom who has mood swings that swung harder than the modern American political spectrum. I'm surprised she hasn't gotten her own alcoholism and meth addiction subplot. Chloe suffers from an unfortunate disease called the broke bitch big sister dumbslut syndrome, so their personalities are to be the biggest most insufferable stereotypes of wincest adult games as possible.

The only person reasonable is somehow the little sister Emily who actually calls MC childish because MC is a bozo who thinks he's level-headed yelling with everyone else while having his head inside his own own ass.

All this on top of a corruption plot where your Jojo stand needs cum energy to fight a powerful bimbo because your dad told her that he preferred banging your mom, I'm fucking lost after allat.

It deserve a "good" 4 stars, although it is a 3.5 in reality.

The plus: Really good modelisation and lightings. The girls are beautiful, they have beautiful eyes and faces avoiding the uncanny valley. the scenery are nice, the animation clean.
Corruption theme for those who dig that.

The minus:
Girls have all the same physical attributes with barely the hair colour or cut allowing to differenciate them. All big boobed, big hipped bimbos.

The writing is average, there is some worldbuilding and an interesting premise but it fails to deliver or even offer some progression. That s where the corruption side fails, girls tend to stay the same.

H scenes are vanilla and quite boring, very short and with little buildup or conclusion.

Conclusion: it s an above average VN thanks to the high quality of models and animations, it will be proper material for one handed gameplay will pressing ctrl to skip the useless story... But it will be forgotten just as fast.

The premise is interesting (basically "gods" take over human vessels), but outside of a crusade reference for a short backstory it is minimally fleshed out. The story seems to bounce around without any real plot or character development.

The writing in general is a weak point. The characters barely have a personality and the personality they do have is wildly inconsistent. Choices do not seem to matter that much outside of mild flavor choices. There is not much content for a 4 year old game, and the story is not close to finished. Character models are pretty stereotypical for how most AVNs go. Overall I would not suggest it.

Most important part, the girls are smoking hot (except the boobs). This game is one of games where the eyes of women are the most beautiful. Beside the women, the graphic are very good. There is no bugs. At least i did not find any throug my gameplay. The collectabels are fun. Some of them are very hard and some of the are easy. The atmosphere and the music/voices are very good.

The story is awesome, interesting (except the forced mind control), creative and unique. Sadly it looks too linear. The player do not have much impact on the story. The decisions are simple. The characters personality feels simple as well.

The language is great. Easy to understand even for poor english speakers.
