Ren'Py - Camp Hill Range [v0.1.1] [Prickly Team]

I liked the game's plot about the camp and the action, the fact that he lives with his sister, the drawing is very good, the characters are beautifully made, in general I really liked the game. And I was very glad that the game was immediately in Russian, this is respect for the author.

Very nice game, good art (yes it has a certaint style of a game but it does not feel like a ripoff) and a decent amount of content. Stories of each girls are not booring and unique.
The two annoying points for me were:
- You cant go to your bedroom from the map, you allways need to go through 2-3 screens to get into the bed.
- Earning money is kinda annoying, if I would play it again I would definitly pick the "start with 5000$" option.

Other than that I enjoyed the game very much and waiting for new updates eagerly.

Review of Version 0.1.0

I had a great time playing through this game so far, as it really nails down most of the things I like in a sandbox game. Nicely drawn environments, pretty looking girls, and simple fetch questing with a few mini games included. Yes the art looks like a certain other game, but I don't see that as a negative since the characters are drawn very well. Despite only having a few updates there's a decent amount of content to go through. The sex scenes are well done, and other erotic moments fit in with the whole summer camp experience.

As for any bugs, the most I've experienced is the game taking to long to load certain rooms. I played on Windows, so I'm not sure about the other versions.

My only concern is that this game has been in development for a long time. There's only been five updates after the initial release over two and a half years ago, with a year between the last two updates. At the very least, the devs still work on the game based on their update posts on Patreon and Boosty. I just hope updates don't take too long, since I really do like this game and I would love to see this game completed.

I rarely leave reviews, but honestly, this game deserves one. What a standout.

It's not just about the models or graphics, even though they're quite good. What truly impresses me is the sheer amount of work and polish evident here. We're talking virtually no bugs, which is a breath of fresh air in this genre. The UI is exceptionally clean and well-designed, thankfully steering clear of those generic Ren'Py visuals you see everywhere else. You can genuinely feel the care and attention to detail that went into crafting this experience.

As for the content, I found it strong overall. While I'm personally not a fan of the unrealistically large cocks that are so common in porn games, the game's other qualities and content were compelling enough to make that a minor point. It truly delivers a high-quality experience that rises above the usual.

I really like the art style and the camp setting of this game. Gameplay is somewhat simple but fantastic. I really think this game has potential to be very huge in the future. Keep the great work guys

Great art, nice animations and a fun story is what camp hill range delivers.


This game is an exhilarating adventure with stunning graphics, immersive storytelling, and challenging quests. The open-world exploration and dynamic combat keep players on their toes, making every moment unforgettable!

+Good hand drawn art
+Animated
+Sexy
+Good english
+Good navigation.
+Built in cheat. Did not have to grind because I picked to start rich.

Honestly this game is just competently made. Yea, it is typical plot we have seen before. But the execution is fantastic.

7/10 or 3.5 stars out of 5 would be more accurate but let's hope the dev is motivated by this 4 out of 5 rating.

This is a kinetic sandbox (we need a new term because sandbox means "not linear" or "not kinetic" lol) where you play as the typical 18-20 y.o. guy that we have seen in a million games before. Same personality, same appearance, same way of thinking, it's another copy paste game of that genre.

But the game is smooth during my playthrough, the dev puts some effort to make sure it is bug free, which is a rarity amongst devs of this surefire "money grab" genre. So +1 for that! The "quests" are straightforward but easy to understand. Go here do this, that's the main formula here. I didn't expect any deep story or character development, and was proven correct. The characters are at least somewhat likeable, like the duo friends who get along with the MC. Almost everyone is a whore right off the bat.

The 2D art is good. I have seen far shittier art style. This dev or artist did a great job, it's not beautiful but it's decent. I noticed some errors like characters having short arms, but they're not too noticeable due to the cartoonish 2D artstyle. But the dev, like so many others, failed to draw good-looking boobs. It's always the same look of boobs that you see in other games. Except for the character Maggie, everyone has the typical round boobs that look like implants irl.

Animation is meh. Not really feeling it. The quality has not taken off far from the slide show quality. The scenes are meh too. Nothing we haven't seen before. I'm not saying there should be a piledriver scene or whatever, but at least make the BJ scenes more creative like have the girl move her head in a swirl, while handjob scenes have the girl rub the dick's tip with one hand and stroke with her other hand.

The content is rather lacking for a game that's been 1.5 years in development. All the characters in the camp has no V scene yet. The hooker is the only one who has several scenes. But at least the game is bug free in my experience. Keep it up, dev!

Art is similar to the that popular game. Tbh the best thing about the game is it's art. Girls are pretty other than that there is nothing much. Girls will give you tasks and MC will do it. After lewd scenes there is no talk you will enter free roam this ruined for me.

+ Artstyle
+ Pretty girls
+ Money cheat
+ Animations

- no proper story
- no humor
- no character development
- felt like lewd scenes ending abruptly (cause after a scene there is no talk and you will enter free roam mode, some events will end without proper conclusion)

It got potential to become a nice game but dev failed at execution

Fantastic game so far, excellent art, writing is funny, engaging and charming.

Reminiscent of early summertime saga builds and the artstyle clearly takes inspiration.

Will continue to watch this release with great interest

Story 2/5
Story is just to kinetic to me, so tierd of forced LIs and forced sex scenes with people i dont want anything to do with, just talking to a girl in the pool triggers MC doing anal with her and on top of that shes a prostitute which is just not my thing, atleast trow a kinetic tag on when game has no choices, think of it as just yet another mindless fuckfest like a million other games.

Also it dosent have a harem tag so it really kills the hole game when it forces a girl on you, cant play faithfull routes and not being harem just makes it a huge mess.

As for the art its really nice to see something diffrent and its well made as well, so to bad its not a choice driven story then it could have been a really good game.

Theres no romance no relationship build-up which is normal for fuckfest games but it just makes it boring at pointless, you might as well just go watch anime on a pornsite since you will have the same feelings towards the characters there like you do in this meaning 0 feelings.
Dialogs are also just bland and cliche like the hole game really.

MC is also just the run of the mill pervert, most times you have no say in what he does and hes mindset says it all its pretty childish, every now and then you have a choice to be nice or blackmail but its really just all very bland, same goes for quests, go fetch this and that, sort papers its just meh and adds no value to the game.

You will also be forced to go after bitches you might hate, so someone treats you like shit and you end up buying flowers and other shit for her? makes no sense.

Sandbox can get a bit weird like peeking through a keyhole to see your sister then you walk in and shes not there? then you walk out look again and shes inside...details just seems to be lacking overall, also you cant enter the girls lockroom at the pool but MC is more then happy to enter the girls toilet and walk in on girls in the bathroom stalls?????? i mean just no....

Girls 4/5
Pretty decent and good looking art and it has a decent diversity in builds.

Animations 3/5
They are pretty avaerge but not bad considering its not the stanard HS or Daz.

Music 1/5
Just small sound effects so nothing special.

Choices 1/5
It feels kinetic since you have 0 controle over MC meaning it has Forced LIs, Forced fetishes and no harem tag which really makes it unplayable since theres no sense to it if you cant play faithfull or pick who to have a relationship with in a none harem game.

Sandbox 2/5
Its not that bad its easy to get around but not sure why its really there since it dosent add anything you just follow the set questlines removing any kind of freedom so might as well have been made like a kinetic novel.
But theres no scroll back which gets annoying.

The best part is most defently the art but game is really below average in everything else so cant give this more then 2 stars.

I really like the art style. It reminds me of SS. However, the dialogue is so simple and dumbed down that it ruins immersion.

There's no character development at all.
Do this, bye.

Hi, I am this person. This is my personality, bye.

You are expected to go there, bye.

Girl is pretty. I should leave now.

The character actions are very much a tell instead of show style. You can pigeon hole each character into a trope within the second line of dialogue. It's a little painful.

There's no nuance. It's like putting on makeup with a shotgun.

The dev has great art, but would highly benefit from getting a writer to fill out the dialogue. If that happened, this game would easily be 5 stars with a few updates.

The graphics in the game are very good, the game runs very smoothly, the smoothest game I have played on Joiplay. I hope there will be a continuation of the story, it won't be left unfinished. I recommend everyone to try the game.

The game is in an incredibly early stage despite being in development for more than a year. While interactions and story is kinda interesting, there are very few sex scenes. I'd recommend waiting for a couple of patches before trying or you'll get blue-balled.

Playing this current build (v0.04) of the game, I have to say that there isn't much content yet. It's still in its early stages, so I won't be too harsh in my judgment. However, it's been over a year and there are literally no sex scenes apart from one with a prostitute. There are only about three more scenes, and they involve the love interests masturbating. So, I wouldn't recommend playing this game right now. Give it a few years and hope that the developers don't abandon it. The content is still in its introductory stages, and the relationships with the girls are just starting. I doubt anything major will happen unless the developers step up and provide big updates with good progression and more sex scenes. But for now, don't expect much anytime soon. Still, the game does show promise, and I do like the art style.

Camp Hill Range [v0.04]

Pros:
artstyle

Cons:
writing
dull story
too slow-burn
UI
mini-games

Conclusion:
I really struggled with whether I should rate this game 3* because it's "fairly" early in development, or if I should give it a 2* rating.
The game looks really nice, I like the art and wish more would use it.
It's weird that people complain about it, when it looks good.
Other than that, there's not much I can say positively about this game.
There are just a few nice premises in the game, like the relationship between the principal and the girl and the secret relationship with the blond chick.
But it's such a shame that this game is just so incredibly lackluster.
For a game that is now over a year in development, there's just nothing going on, that is that interesting.
It feels like there is no progress here, and it doesn't give me a reason to keep following this game any further.
You are basically at the start of getting to know the girls and have to complete some tasks that just feel really boring and unrewarding.
There are no sex scenes, except with a hooker. You can jerk off on a girl in exchange for cigarettes.
There is pretty much no story here except a few premises.
Another thing that I don't like is that there's no rollback in this game, or even a auto function.
This game just feels way too bare-bones, and I can't see how it will ever go forward.
These are the reasons why I think that this game deserves 2* max, and I feel that the 5* ratings are just incredibly dishonest and are more about "potential," which is an overrated term anyway, and just doesn't reflect the current state accurately.
I don't want to be discouraging, but there's just nothing that makes me excited about the next updates.
The game has a decent foundation, but the content is just way too lackluster.

Camp Hill Range [v0.1.0]
I have to go down from 2* to 1* because the game is pretty much unplayable on joiplay and android. It's very sluggish and crashes all the time. My best guess is that the implementation of the background animations breaks the game.

excelent game. interesting plot. nice graphics.
so I've just played 004 update. took me like 40 minutes of gameplay to do it with 1 path (good guy). worth giving a try and I see a big potential in this game and dev. good luck

incredible game, art 10/10, fun, you don't even see time pass, the sad thing is when it ends, but it has the potential to be as great as its "competitor" summertime saga, and I hope it is, I just wish this dev every success and that the project is not abandoned

My biggest gripe with this game so far has been the UI. The dev made many decisions that aggravate me. Rollback has been disabled, the 'H' key has been disabled and right mouse button brings me to the menu rather than straight to the save menu. A lot of Ren'Py basics are there for a reason and it is annoying when they are missing.

On top of that there is a sandbox that I'm not entirely convinced needs to be there. Maybe once development progresses it may make more sense. As far as sandboxes go it is at least pretty easy to navigate.

The English is average. You can easily follow the story but conversations are very staccato. the sentences don't have a natural flow. There are some spelling and grammatical errors but eh, nothing to bad. Tip to the dev: Use Word (or similar) to spellcheck your script. This will catch a lot of issues.

The art used in the game is quite lovely. I like the backgrounds and most of the girls. The main protagonist feels a little off for some reason but I have a hard time explaining why.

The story is mostly an excuse for getting the girls naked rather than interesting on its own. This is not a bad thing just an observation.

I do think there are better games overall with camp settings but that doesn't mean this one is bad.

I get why there are so many comments comparing this game to the summertime saga, but I don't agree with them. Even tho the art is similar, it's not the same, and to be fair there are tons and tons of games/vns on this site that use the same models/scenery over and over again, so even if they were reusing the same models as the other game I don't really get what the issue is with it.

Having said so, I really liked the art, and the story is catchy. I think the concept of the characters and the game is very promising, but I do find one point that makes me worry about the game: over a year of development there´s been 3 versions top, and in all honesty, there is barely any content on the game so far.

Considering the previous factor, I worry about the dev being able to keep up with the development of this game. I hope the scarce deployments are due to some work on the game engine or something because otherwise, it seems to be a task too heavy for the game dev.

I'll definitely keep an eye on this game, and I hope the time proves me wrong and the dev ends up publishing a masterpiece.
