VN - Ren'Py - Completed - City of Broken Dreamers [v1.15.0 Ch. 15] [PhillyGames]

This is an outstanding neo noir experience. Storytelling characters and render are all top class. Investigation is exciting. The suspected near future environment is something new and unique. I experienced different routes by choices and you can influence relationships with the girls differently.

This game has good renders and I guess also a decent story for a porn game (even though I don't understand why most here act as if this was shakespeare). The animations are kind of okayish but often feel clumsy and stale, especially during the spanking/slapping scenes. The variety of girls is relatively large but except for Shanlon, Teri and Venus, all of the sex scenes play out fairly the same. I guess if you are into Futa, which I have absolutly no idea why dev thought it would be a good idea to have, there is one more exception. Semi-forcing the player to look at the Futa masturbation scene was kinda lame though. The SciFi world with all the underground scene (the Pit,Milchers, etc) would have been perfect for a "futuristic desert stalker" vibe, but overall the game is fairly vanilla and dark only in exceptions, except for very few rougher sex scenes.

Having a bazillion choices force the player to play on many, MANY save paths and using the walkthrough. This is far from comfortable. Game would be a 3.5 stars but it gets 4 because you can see dev put so much effort into this.

Honestly my main attraction to this game in the past was the scifi elements.

The women for the most part I am no atracted to.

Victoria's face looks like a man's to me, both Gloria and the Asian girl have faces that look like 5 year olds inserted onto adult bodies and Shanlon may look attractive but her attitude makes her less so.

this game is honestly sherr fucking class when it comes to writing ... the dev builds the world well and quickly and keeps it building as he moves the story along .. char dev is very well done not one character is like any other there all unique and you get a sense of there personality ... the main story is moved along as it needs to do so not giving away too much until it needs to but its consistant and keeps you interested ... there is some cheese here but its not overdone ... you feel for the main characters and thats a real endorment to the writing here .... the gfx are all well done and fit perfect in the qusi blade runner cyberpunk world ... the sex scenes while not the best iv seen are good and do a very good job ... the game is updated in a way similar to been a dik ... its constistent but not tiny updates there a good chunk each time and you can tell the dev has the entire story already writen and is following it .. no stupid patreon vote poll crap here .... tbh im a massive fan of this dev ... i like fap material as much as anyone but i love games like this .... well thought out well paced and with good gfx were nothing is over the top .... yeah i can happily recomend this to anyone and not think i hope they like it ........

I wont bother writing a detailed review. Don't need to!!

This game is a masterpiece. One of the best out here.
and Victoria ❤

PS - This one line caught my attention and really cracked me up
"I wont bow, but I will kneel"

This is an epic saga with enthralling story and characters , it's mesmerizing to experience and easy to hook on story , it has essences that are usually difficult to approach for a regular game, I mean story about futuristic elements , it kind of reminding me of Blade Runner which I love.
Characters and artwork are sensational and top-of-the-line and twists are masterfully implemented.
City of Broken Dreamers it is definitely one of bests here.

It's a great game, maybe the best adult visual novel I have seen so far.

It has a good, dark, cyberpunk story that would work even if we take all the sex out of it. Actually it could work as a story for a mainstream movie. It also has some paths so don't expect to see everything during one gameplay.

The graphics are all good and custom made, no universal assets that you see every second game. There is also a lot of high quality animations.

The girls are different, both visually and in personality. You will meet corporate bitches, wild rockers, rich party girls and idealistic, innocent ones. Should be enough for everyone's taste.

I recommend it to everybody.

Most renders are pretty, animations is solid but clunky?

another issue is female main characters faces look wierd.. Aside from that this game lacks humor and emotional connection (you dont care about the other characters who die) and story is kinda dull and boring. All you do basically is trying to choose right answer to gain love interest points for more lewd actions and you cant effect the story so far with any real choices, it will play out pretty much the same no matter what.

This game really is Cyberpunk 2077 but in VN form(just pretty renders). Game is not better than developers previous game and gameplay is pretty much same from start till now. I can understand the rating if this was 2018, but at end of 2022 nah

Good cyberpunk lore. Good cyberpunk girls. Good cyberpunk renders. Good cyberpunk action. Predictable but attracting plot so far. I hope the quality persists in second book. I bought it on steam to support devs, i advise you to do the same.

I wrote this review at 1.12.1 Ch. 12 (Although I only play it to chapter 10) nevertheless this game is excellent.

Only handful games that can invoke some emotion like sadness or awe when playing… eh you know "F95zone" kind of games.

The Renders is really good on the eye, the sound is okay

Not to forget the animation is really made well and humongous content this far



The biggest thing I like from this game is the story and the action that really put well for me.

I recommend to play this if you like sci-fi and dystopian setting

Cya ghost

This is one of those games that raises the bar for adult gaming. Excellent visuals and audio. A really captivating narrative. Extremely erotic. Characters who, excuse the pun, feel filled out. It comes highly recommended.

When this game was first released (2019) it had a major impact.People were comparing it to Being a DIK which i could understand.Back in the day it had it all: Amazing renders,compelling story,interesting characters,charming sex scenes.However 3 years has passed,more games have entered to industry,old ones like being a dik improved themselves but this game stayed the same.And that’s the reason i am giving it a 4 star.The game is awesome,and yes story is progressing,but except different sex scenes you won’t see anything different for the entirity of game.It doesn’t add any new mechanics,It doesn’t try something different with animations,it doesn’t even show you any different characters.The game presents all of it’s tools at the beginning.And since choices are mostly meaningless for progression of the story,when you are playing this game eventually you will feel like watching 15th season of the tv series you once loved now is being published for cash grabbing.

I really liked the settings of the game. Some renders are horrendous but overall it's okay.

What really put me off was no real choice.
ex.(even if you chose not to peep doc changing it assumes you have done so in later on conversation).

Chandra is the reason i gave it 3 star ratings. all other girls don't appeal to me.

No choice on how to deal with Gloria, you are forced down a path. You can't decide what kind of ghost(soldier) you want to be. I came from sandstorm and desert stalker so of course lack of choice bothers me.

Very nice medium weight game with excellent graphics, nice music and lovely girls. Very rare, substantial updates. Cyberpunk / post -semi apo world. Walkthrough mode heavily recommended. Really nice game that would be preferred to be finished to see full story.

Its cool cyberpunky story with mutants and shit

Problem? The doctor lady is ugly and i dont like her, but she is major part of the story. Then you have half android prostitute or something redhead big boobs lady. Not really interested. Then you have the cute blonde woman you are looking for. Problem is her relationship to you feels... strange. Its like "So you and me are supposed to have sex now". It feels weird, you barely know each other actually you dont know each other at all. Yet for some reason you are supposed to be like soulmates or something weird.

Then there is asian slut, she is pretty cool. But best girls? Chandra, and the girl with the horns. I would leave all these other hoes just to spend rest of my life with chandra and her friend. That blonde mutant can piss off i dont care at all in all honesty

Its not terrible, renders look great but the main women look kinda ugly especially the doctor woman. Depraved awakening women looked better in fact. But its an alright story and chandra makes up for the other women being trash

Story 10/10
Characters 10/10
Action 10/10 even it just a vn
5 stars deserving for me what can I say. As the story goes along you tend to find more about the characters which you deeply attach to them. Even some characters you didn't like as the stories goes you kinda like them in their way. The setting was really good and unique for me as I always play that kind of vn not in a fantasy/sci-fi world. Overall it was really good. Hoping endings will be great when it is released. Good Luck making it more epic on later chapters that will come.

Only a year into AVN's, but CoBD captures me from beginning to end, outstanding work!
Story, renders, dicision-trees all blend in seamlessly, something we tend to see only once in a blue moon here it seems,...
Keep up the good work Philly!

Writing: 8/10
Imagery: 8.5/10
Kinks: The story is compelling enough for me to ignore whether there's kinks or not
Overall: 8/10 (would've given more if pregnancy is added)

Renders look amazing and the characters are all unique in their personalities. Would be better if the gameplay is much smoother since I like ctrl-ing some of the dialogues that I find too boring. But overall, a great game and it's amazing how much contents the game has despite only been around since 2019.

Story is surprisingly so good. So good in fact I wouldn't be mad if there weren't any lewd scenes. With that being said, girls were hot, renders we're great. Animations were good but camera angles were a bit weird. Anyway, all hail queen Victoria.

As there have been hundreds of reviews done before mine, I'll try to keep it simple and concise for the newcomers:
