VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Clover Revenge [Remastered] [Evelai]

This game has a very good story, i enjoyed it entirely , art could've been better but i can't complain , my subjective opinion would say it's a must play. The plot is very engaging and the main character was enjoyable to roleplay for me

Overall 4.5/5. VN with resource management that actually impacts the game. Play for the story and gameplay, not for the adult content

Story 4.5/5. A captivating story with highs and lows, the general story and events really gets you invested, however, the writing really drops when dealing with other characters and their relatioships

Characters 3/5. Character's feel very rushed and shallow that your closest allies barely get any personality, background, or development, a complete 180 from the story's writing

Gameplay 4/5. Basic resource management is part of this game, what sets it apart is that the resources you have affects the decisions your can make, making the consequences of those decisions more impactful to the player

Visuals 3/5. AI generated with some edits for polish, looks good, nothing special

Adult Content 1/5. A few static images, you don't play this for the adult content

Version: COMPLETE

To make this review more organized, I will divide it into three categories. First category will be storyline, to which I'll give my insights regarding the story of the game. Second, the art and design. Third, the sex-scenes.

STORYLINE - 9/10

The game follows a young "good-for-nothing" noble, who turns out to be the son of the King, desowned byhis father, living in poverty. One day, he meets a man named Peter, who says that he came from the future to avoid a great tragedy. There, we are introduced to our main mission, as Peter gifts us a hourglass that allows us to move back to the past to help us saving the Kingdom. He tells us that something will happen the next day, and disappears. As the next day comes, we receive the news that our father has died, and we are now put in charge of a castle and village close to the Kingdom's capitall. Ruling the land becomes our daily routine.

That sinopse alone makes the game already quite interesting, as, in fact, it really is. During the first parts of the game you are taken into a routine of dealing with the daily affairs of the castle you own, making sure that there's enough troops, supplies, food and money to keep it going on. You are also introduced to a system of respect and charisma, where your actions can dictate wheather you gain points of it or not. Quite a well-thought system.

I personally love the system, because it allows you to suffer the consequences of your actions. You could do dishonourable things in exchange of money, or even food. This makes the survival even more interesting, as, depending on your choices, you might need to act in a wrong way to be able to have food or money.

Althought this system is very interesting and, for me, the differential part of the game, that makes it stand out, I believe that it wasn't as well-used it could have been. We don't feel so hard the weight of our choices (but there are still consequences), as the game guides us "too well" to success. I also missed the chance to be able to handle even more daily affairs of the Kingdom, by the example of the game "YES, YOUR GRACE", where we have a similar storyline, but a much more interactive everyday life. Rather than just clicking a few buttons to get money or respect, we could actually be talking to villagers and solving their problems (or making them worse, according to our actions).

With that being said, I would like to also point out that I think that the sex events in the game are too rushed, maybe even unnatural. Okay, I understand that we are the local lord, and naturally many women would like to lay with us by that simple fact, but it still seems to me that there isn't much anticipation when it comes to these events. It's like, first we see the girl, and the next scene or next time we see her, we're already fucking. There isn't much of a challenge or naturality for me, which made me a bit disappointed.

I do enjoy the story, and I think that the base of the storyline is solid and well worked. Everything in the game, regarding the most important parts, does seem to make sense and the game provide a really fun time. Playing it was really enjoyable and I would really like to thank the writer for such a good work.

ART AND DESIGN - 8/10

As I always say, I have no problem with AI art. I actually do quite enjoy it, when the characters has certain aspects that makes them distinct from the overall AI character.

The character design is good, the heroines do look really hot and the support characters do look fine. My only problem would be the lack of emotions, which is, we don't get to see any reaction in them. They're just there.

Three should be at least three major emotions, that is anger, normal and happy. That should be enough.

The art is good, but lacking.

SEX-SCENES - 2/10

Maybe that's the only real disappointment in the game. We get to see these hot girls, but the sex-scenes are just a fixed image, with some shaking effect. no dialogue in-between, just the shaking until the next scene, where the MC cum, pops up. That's quite the disappointment, as there could be so many options and different ways to make it, giving some more attention to the sex-scenes. Because of this aspect, the game shifts to a much more story-oriented game rather than a "sex-game" as we're used to here.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

The game is really good and I really had a good time playing it. As I'm writing, I still didn't finish the game, so my review may change in the future. I would like to really thank the developer for making the game, as I've given a few hours of my life to play it and it has really been enjoyable.

I hope my words aren't taken as offense in any form, but exactly the other way around. As someone who has indeed enjoyed the game, I really want it to flourish and become even better than it already is.

With that being said, keep up with the good job!

Boring game with bad cg.

No gallery!! Which is already a huge sin for a porn game, but also very few scenes with very few images and always the same. He almost only gets BJs or doggy.

Gameplay is boring and I don't understand what half the stats or the choices do.

Story is pointless with way too many useless characters and plot twist for me to feel involved.

At least the game finishes fast...

if you hate AI art, i want you think like this, i would not have read and experience this awesome plot if the writer didn't had access to AI to make the game he wanted. give it a chance, you might enjoy it as well. not for the fap, but for a story worth reading for

Very nice game with a solid plot. I'm a sucker for story and plotline so the lack of/repetitive CGs and the usage of AI art don't bother me at all.
What impressed me is the development of MC, it's slow but steady and the ending was perfectly executed.
I'm looking forward to the prequel of this tittle and good luck on the dev's future endeavour.

Just finished this game, can't say if i got the best ending honestly.
Still it was a very fun experience.
I would advise you that H scenes are not worth playing this game.
Great art but only images.
So why 5 stars?
Somehow i felt my choices were impactful for the story, and some charachters were quite memorable, like Noah, you childhood friend,
Laura, your trusty commander, and Hudson a heartful mercenary.
So yeah, the story has been quite a ride!

Game play is basically just cycling through three text links day by day to increase your stats without any indication what stats you need or at what quantities. Sex scenes are rather boring AI vanilla scenes with a single CG and no foreplay or descriptions, just a bit of repetitive dialogue.

I was expecting a sandbox, but sandbox games are hard to make and it is easier to focus on basic linear management. This game does it well, with several consequences that are mostly to have repercussions for the second part of this game. Because of the large amount of ways this game can go for the next chapter, I am afraid though that it will be hard to make all branching combinations matters.

Game is short, not so many CG, story is simple but well done. No outlandish plots twists, but it is better this way rather than plot twists that makes no sense (like many other games).

Is a good dinamic history (for a sex game), with good choises that don't punish, but just delay the sex stuff in order to proceed the plot. The images and the girls are beatiful, but really lack any sort of animation, variety, quantity... the game is really lazy in this area. The resourse manage is realy great and interesting, it could use a better interface. I hope dev continue to produce.

Woah this visual novel is super good! I didn't expect the amount of details because of AI art used, but the story is very interesting.

The music at the end of each chapter as it reveals some shocking unexpected events makes you wonder where this is leading. It has a great balance of H-Scenes and story.

The risk management in choices is what gives this game it's charm.
Every decision matters from the first to the last.

So, the plot basically is, Management/resource type game, which is my thing. Better than playing puzzles for porn, IMO, and easier to cheat.

The first "sex scene" is just one picture, not impressive. Though, pretty typical for management games that throw them in as a choice everywhere.
I haven't seen Laura's face change once during dialogue.

Recommendations:
Since I have 'stats' - Money, charisma, etc- could you PLEASE put them at the top of the screen or something? I've realized I can open the book, but I feel like that's unnecessary with a mild overlay.
The prison system is unimpressive and needs improvement. It's basically just a slideshow, going through every prisoner, regardless of which ones you want to see. You can't get to the end through sex because...well you can't last that long.

It has some potential, but a lot to be desired still, IMO.

Strong early release. The story is well written, the day-to-day management is a bit of a grind but not too bad, and still interesting choosing what to prioritize. Dilemma style stories are quite well done, where you're presented with a few options for how to deal with a situation that pops up and told what resources you'll gain and lose by picking each choice.

There are some minor improvements that could be made. The prisoner system feels like a placeholder for something more interesting. Some options could be simply unavailable rather than showing up in menus only to get a "this isn't available yet" message when clicking on them. But overall, I had a fun time playing through the entirety of the release so far.

Surprisingly good story for one of these AI image games. If the AI look is your cup of tea then you'll love this. Game moves at a decent pace and the castle management isn't too cumbersome. Decent amount of content so far.

Phantastic! I love this game. Great graphics, thrilling storyline. I am emotionally drawn into it (which happens rarely tbh). Really recommendable. As much fapping as one might like. AI graphics a bit exagerated impo (like the double 6pack of Noah), but this didn't disturb me much.

I rated v0.5
One of the few projects I really like to support.
Edit: Played 1.0 now from itch.io - fantastic - very recommendable
