VN - Ren'Py - Cheerleaders [S1 v1.3] [Lounatick]

I don't give out many 5 star reviews. I believe I will for this VN because I think some of the lower ratings are a bit unfair. This is still a work in progress. To rate it a two or three star so early on could a bit discouraging and daunting for the dev IMHO, no offense to the other raters.

I really enjoyed this game. The choices actually matter, the girl models are superb and I love the fact that not all of them have cookie cutter bodies. Some of them are more slender and petite and other are slightly more curvy and busty. That's a win in my book!

Speaking of the choices, it's one of the only gripes I have about the game. Basically, the choices for the side characters are love routes which is fine, but the player doesn't have any choice on WHO that route is with. So it's either you get a sex scene or you don't with nothing else as an option. I realize it's still early in development. Hopefully this changes with updates because if not, we'll be left with what a lot of others are complaining about; forced content as far as "you either get scenes with this one person or you don't".

I can't say enough about the renders. Some of the best I've seen and even though I already said it once, I will reiterate that the girls are superb. Great job on that Dev! Hopefully, the choices become a little more accommodating to the player instead of just a yes or no on H scenes, especially with the FMC. I love where the story is going so far and I will follow the content with great anticipation!

Absolutely fantastic! The concept feels refreshingly original within the AVN genre. The storyline is gripping, the script is impressively well-written, and the large cast of both female and male characters is simply outstanding.

The kinks are incredibly exciting, and the scenes where some of the girls cheat on their boyfriends are seriously hot. I’m not usually into lesbian scenes, but here they’re implemented with such believable context that they really elevate the experience.

What are you waiting for? Give it a go!

TL;DR = entertaining corruption game. And cheerleaders are hot!

Story: 4/5
Pros:
+ You follow the group of teenage cheerleaders and their troubles.
+ Girls arent holding back, they are attempting to live whole "cheerleader lifestyle".
+ There is also some darker subplot, where girls are sexually harrased.
+ Plot of this game is entertaining.
Cons:
- There is a lot of porn cliché here. This is a game about cheerleaders, so you should easily be able to guess what you will get.

Art and sex stuff: 5/5
Pros:
+ Renders are good.
+ Girls are sexy.
+ Sex scenes are hot.
+ Sex scenes have big variety.
Cons:
- I cant think of anything negative.

Gameplay: 5/5
Pros:
+ This is VN with choices.
+ Choices have huge impact on the gameplay.
+ Choices will change what scenes you will see. Some choices have impact immediately, some choices have impact later.
+ The game has decent soundtrack.
+ English is good.
Cons:
- The game needs to fix sex sounds. They are inside game folder, but I couldnt hear them during sex scenes.

_______________________________________
To sum it up:
This is really good corruption game. I will definitely recommend this.

I dont understand the bad reviews. The story might be slightly unrealistic, but this is a porn game about cheerleaders. You will get exactly what you came here for.

+ hot gals
+ dom/sub variants
+ simple story, not walls of boring text, straight to the point
+ relaxing music
+ lewd scenes are ok
+ looks like game won't be another endless slow burn garbage dragged for years before anything interesting happen

- unavoidable lesbian stuff. I don't want to see that crap during my playthrough
- most males are weak and submissive. No strong/assertive personalities
- unfortunately there is no pure straight path
- some gals really need to be fucked properly, especially the bitchy ones
- for now game offers mostly vanilla content and not much happened yet
- give main girl some action with boys! Elena is overshadowed by other characters

I'm patiently waiting for a real debauchery like: MMF/DP/gangbangs/swinging/NTR/NTS etc. In the current state and because of forced lesbo 3 stars from me

Going in, I already knew this was a fuckfest, but still got disappointed.

Pros:
1) Lots of kinky sex.
2) The whole idea of managing a cheerleader team is rather original.

Cons:
1) Severe lack of likeable characters, and the ones who are get abused and/or sexually assaulted.
2) No purely lesbian path. I mean, FMC, focus on a cheerleader team (all girls, naturally), fuckfest; just why not?
3) Continuing from the above: forced content.
4) The management side of things is basically non-existent. The only thing we do as Elena is sometimes make minor decisions that reflect on her personality more than the team. No management interface to speak of.

2 stars.

A great AVN with a lot of action all around. I love the fact that are multiple paths and choices do matter. the main FMC is hot and so are the other girls. The story makes sense a porn kind of way but that is exactly what I signed up for. I also enjoy the fact that there are also sub plots and other girls get a change to have adult fun.

I really don't understand the bad reviews. Game delivers exactly what it promises, a cheerleader story. It's definitely not realistic, but it's a porn game, dammit...

Pros:

• Writing is good, which is rare
• There seems to be a story (although we're still early in the game), that is interesting while downt-to-earth, not the usual "save the world" bullshit
• Choices that matter
• MC is not a new member/nobody, but she's already the head of the group, which is a bold move
• Girls look good and have varying looks/personalities, you can tell them apart
• Lesbian content
• Summary at the end of chapters - I really love when games do this!

Neutral:

• Straight content
• Art is OK, but nothing special

Cons:

• There are already a lot of characters. Which is fine, but I hope the author won't add new characters each chapter, diluting the content and forgotting old characters.
• Also: lots of characters are thrown at you at once. There should be some kind of a character screen detailing who's who. It would also help remembering after future updates.

V1.1

Ok, I've had my eye on this one for a while and waited a few updates before downloading. The tags and premise were interesting, and I was surprised there hasn't been really a lot of VNs using cheerleading as backdrop. This title certainly fills that void.

This VN has several things going for it. The renders are above average as is the staging and lighting. There is a variety of LIs and body types. It is not inundated with huge ass/boob models which is refreshing. The LIs have distinct personalities that go beyond "fucktoy." There is a general story arc, but it varies depending on choice. Choice selection does seem to matter in this VN. Before even starting you face a big choice in perspective. Do you just want to follow the main character or also several secondary characters? Really a no brainer - yeah, I want to see all the other ladies get into shenanigans. There is an option of enabling Tips which help steer the player to the outcomes they want. Nice touch to have that implemented so early in a game.

The lewd scenes are well done. Different positions and staging. The animation is a bit inconsistent, but not unexpected for the first few updates in a VN. Yes, there is porn logic. Of course there is porn logic. It's an adult VN. Really though, take almost any mainstream movie and you can punch logic holes in it. Regardless, it is not as bad as some VNs where it's like Zero to Fuck in 60 seconds with no rationale at all.

So, apart from some smoother animations, I really don't have much in the way of critique. I wish, not for the first time, you could give half stars. This would be a 4.5 and I'm a tough grader. Note that the tags should be updated. There is vaginal sex, lesbian sex and few other things that should probably be listed. This might help people in determining whether to download. Seriously, if you like the premise and you're old enough to remember the cheerleader movie Bring It On! - then this VN is faptastic. Give it a try and take it for what it is - an above average wank VN.

What this is:
This is a porn game about sex and corruption. We see the story from the pov of a group of slutty cheerleaders. Our heroines range from shy newbie to veteran slut, but the end game is to corrupt them all.

What this is not:
This is not a romantic story about College students or a lesbian squad of cheerleaders, If you're looking for love and handholding stay away.

Models are good looking, sex scenes are kinky and the story is a porn classic. A perfect vn to bust a nut.

It's kinda all over the place {story wise} to be honest. And way too many assets
from other games in this{males} The females look pretty good.
And If I'm playing a female I want to be able to choose who I want. I don't want to be stuck with a some goon I've seen in other games lol!{and I prefer
other females but it's early yet.....hopefully you can dump the boyfriend!
But again it's early so I'll give the Dev more time and see what happens.

For ver 0.5

Cannot disagree more with a review below about the game not being for Adults. Just the opposite, this site is populated with games with two types of characters, the horny dude or bimbo that only thinks about sex and the virgin who has not seen a penis in her entire life.
In contrast, characters in this game feel like real adult people, they have their motivations, flaws, virtues etc, they are round and that is what makes them engaging.

The plot is interesting and tells a believable story where not everything revolves around sex, the dev even released a new version without nsfw content which shows the importance of good story delivering over quick fap

The dialogues are very well made, they convey the thoughts of the people involved according to personality in a natural way, it does not feel forced or made to fill the time. On a negative point, sometimes, and moreover in the beginning, is hard to follow who says this and that and who is who, since color names are all in pink, example of this is the scene in the pool. Good addition would be to add a window with chars images and descriptions

Renders are great, maybe the girls have very similar body types but that's just a minor thing. I love that the dev uses many shots per scene, there are no more that 5 pieces of dialogue per image

Gameplay is good, there are decisions and have consequences, you can mold Elena's personality, looking forward how all of that develops

Fantastic game with huge potential to be even better

That's a quite nice AVN. Several routes to pick through choices to make the FMC dominant or submissive, turn her into a bitch or a nice gal, or try to balance everything. As a slow burn, it will take time to blossom and become something more sexual; for now, it's a phase of character-building. Nice renders. The plot is about college drama, so it may not appeal to everyone, as the characters are young and the story is about their daily issues.

Really like it so far. Hits all the right spots for me. Good visuals, promising story with lots of corruption. I am happy with it.

Especially looking forward to the father and son duo and how they will force Elena outside of her comfort zone. The fact that she is dependent on that job is setting the stage pretty nicely. Also promising reactions of her when faced with the authority of the father.

A game that seems a pre-teen / barely teenager idea.
It please a certain kind of audience for sure.
The art is good.

Unfortunately I found those so-called "choices" really unnecessary that are aiming just to break the flow of this game, asking for silly things.
This game suffers with "provide-choice-at-all-cost" ignoring what is the purpose of a choice that need to be instrumental in an overall gameplay.

Anyway, do not want to be too harsh, technically the game is ok, but doesn't feel a game for Adults.

This review is against 0.2, which is very early indeed. I'll come back in a few releases and check again, and modify or delete the review if things have changed.

Pros:
* Nice renders, very attractive girls

Cons:
* Not a single character in the game is likable. Maybe it's trying to become a hate-fuck fetish think, idk
* Got that whole weird "cheerleading as a way of life" thing going on you see in a lot of incel fiction, not a huge problem but not great either. Be helpful if there was some explanation for why these girls are treating their after-school activity like a cult
* Again, it's early, but instead of setting up some plot and starting to work it, the game is just spamming us with characters and plotlines. It could work out ok, but this seems like a dumpster-fire in the making

Promising Start here even if short. Girls are gorgeous and it's an original twist on the female MC corruption story with sub/dom paths. Dialogue is solid even if the some of the characters behave a bit over the top to the point of being jarring.

HOWEVER, it seems to be setting up waaay too many side plots which should be a big red flag for anyone who's been around the block for a bit here.

In the meantime, it grabbed me enough to want to follow it's progress.

I'm giving it 5 stars although this update is definitely just a demo, much remains to be seen.

BUT there is a lot to like her and things that are not so common. The models and renders are all good. The setting is good if not especially creative. The mechanics and the plot haver a ton a potential!

Femdom, lesbian, school setting, these are tag combos you don't see much. The harshness/corruption mechanic could be very fun. There's a lot of characters introduced so lots of possibilities.

I hope we get some mother/daughter, not sure if the dev has that in mind.

I'm not gonna lie, as soon as I read the first review that basically says "It's not a male harem game, so I don't like it" Lol.. well that instantly made me want to try it. LOL

It's just the first release so right It's basically just and introduction to all the characters, with Elana being the main character, who's goal is to win the national cheer championship. It also appears that at times, you will get to make decisions for the other cheerleaders effecting their fates as well.

Quick summary: It starts with Elana subverting the previous captain and booting a majority of the previous members off the team and recruiting new members, instantly setting up the narrative that there will be bad blood between the two groups. Not much beyond that so far other than getting to make a couple of decisions setting a couple of different styles for Elana... she can be strict and teasingly mean, or empethetically nice, allowing the girls more freedom.

Right now I will just say this:
1. All the girls a crazy hot. Always a plus
2. The story is ambitious and has lots of potential with Elana's reputation and pretty much entire livelihood hinging on success or failure. How far is she willing to go to win? How much will she be willing to do herself? How much will the other girls accept, tolerate, or not? All questions to be answered in future updates I guess.
3. Lastly, in terms of devolpment, to say the first release is short would be accurate... but the dev has said that the plan is short monthly updates, not long drawn out big updates, in order to get more frequent feedback and make adjustments accordingly. So if this just a months work or so, then to say production is not there is dead wrong... if... and I repeat "if" the dev can truly keep this pace and deliver, then in terms of content in just 6-7 months this game could have more content then some stuff I know has been on this site for 5+ years lol.

So.. for now my rating is easily 4 stars, but because this is an early release that is easily subject to change depending on how things proceed from here, for better... or for worst.

It's got good models, currently it's very short. I like the aim it has in mind, but it really needs a lot more content to back it up. Hopefully the developer makes more and keeps going. I will say the tag "Male Protagonist" was misleading, I expected to have the choice to be either a male or female in the same role corrupting the girls, but no. You are forced to be the head cheerleader (female) and you have the option that affects "dictatorship" which is really the wrong term to use here. It should be between either assertive/dominant or submissive/unambitious. Calling it a dictatorship makes the person playing feel like the bad guy, but not in a sexy way, more in a dystopian hell-scape "it's all my fault" sort of way.

If I could actually change the gender of the character I'm going to play as and the wording for some things was changed it'd be better. Also an intro scene for each cheerleader so we get to know the team would help with making character's memorable.

Otherwise, good effort, nice models, good basis for the plot from what I've seen.
