As a fan of PhillyGames' previous work, I tried this game as soon as it came out and was immediately impressed by its visual quality. I decided to wait for a few more updates before giving it a more accurate rating and review, and at the current time (v0.4), and based in its consistency, I feel like it's already overdue.
In City of Broken Dreamers, PhillyGames presents us a story set in a mostly cyberpunk world, influenced by the film noir style, and with some fantasy elements added, offering us a creative and unique experience that goes beyond the usual sex-centered plots of many adult video games in this industry.
The main attraction is, of course, its gorgeous models, that are so detailed, and their animations so smooth, that you can't help but be captivated by them, helping you getting immersed in the world and the story behind the characters; all surrounded in beautiful lighting effects and backgrounds that are also rendered in great detail.
With interesting and appealing characters, and a plot ripe with action and with some investigation elements, this game will keep you invested and immersed in the story and its environment, making you crave for more, if you are interested in any of the things I described.
Bare in mind that this is still a work in progress, but even in its incomplete state, the effort and dedication put on this game are evident, as well as its consistency and coherence in the plot, and I expect that by its completion this game will be one of the best games of this genre.
PROS: Stunning visuals and superb animations.
Interesting and immersive plot set in a dystopian future setting.
Interesting and appealing characters, especially Katie and Victoria.
Gorgeous female models, very realistic in their looks and motions.
Great music, well suited for the setting.
CONS: Simplistic game-play, but works well for a visual novel type of game.
Recommended for all players for its gorgeous models, visuals, and animations, but especially for those who also like an interesting and thrilling story added for good measure.
