VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Exiles [Ch. 3 v0.4.1] [Tim.E.Pants Games]

Overall - 9/10
Highly recommend -> Abandoned unfortunately. If you like comedy + Colosseum + hot models + choices
Story - 8/10
Based in medieval time - with narrator + MC with modern brain (mainly for comedic relief)
Starts off MC on a ship bound to a bed and trying to remember how he got there to the captors -> Real start: you're a bum -> meet with important person -> leads to more opportunities -> eventually into a Colosseum situation
Characters all have their own goals/objectives they want or want to get over - makes for each character to be interesting to learn about
Renders/Art - 8/10
No complaints - everything looked good
Models - 9/10
All models looked good - There is a lot of different body types, very good.
Audio - 7.5/10
Generally simple tunes - fit to themes and was good
Simple SFX
Playability- 8/10
Simple VN with good amount of choices and impactful choices
Tags
- Gay/Futa - can be completely avoided - 2 femboys + 1 futa (didn't explore gay options)
- Straight - 3 women
Hscenes - 8/10
Good animations albeit short + good models
Hscenes spaced a bit far apart (still a good Hscenes to story ratio)

Abandoned state of the game aside, I wasn't really a big fan of what it has so far. To be honest, if I were rating purely off my feelings and how much I enjoyed it, then my rating would probably be lower, but it's decently high quality presentation wise, so I felt it deserved at least 3 stars. I only really have two main problems with the current game. First, which most people will notice pretty early on, is the humor. The story does state that it "doesn't take itself too seriously," but I think it goes kind of beyond that. Humor is fine, but it has to be done well so that it doesn't completely undermine the story you're trying to tell. For me, this one failed on that front; it felt much more like a parody game than any actual story, but it was also obvious the developer was trying to get me invested and have me take some parts of the story seriously at the same time, but the over-the-top relentless interjections and jokes made it really hard for me to get invested and take anything that was going on seriously. Some people may not care and just want to see the porn, but for me that was a pretty big demerit and I felt it was definitely worth mentioning for anybody with similar preferences.

The second and final big problem I ran into is only really a problem if you're here for the chicks and not the dicks, like I was. I would really only recommend this game if you like gay and trans content, at least in its current state. Maybe it'll get updates that add more content, but that seems unlikely at this point. Of the 5 characters, only 2 don't have a dick, which, to be fair, is advertised, but of those two girls, one may as well not exist because she only shows up once or twice and very briefly; hell, she's the only one not even in the main artwork on the frontpage of the game. The other female character, at least for me, was an EXTREMELY unlikable character, which makes it kind of a hard sell when she's one of just two, and, let's be honest, with the current state of the game, she's the ONLY female love interest.

So yeah, that's why I didn't really enjoy the game. If you're just here for the porn, though, it's worth it if you like gay content.

A shame this game was abandoned (the dev keeps denying it but it’s been years since the last update), as I remember laughing my ass off throughout, and the story was only just starting to get interesting.

Sets out to do exactly what it promises, which I think is really all you want. It didn't proclaim to have a deep and meaningful story, and instead offered a good array of choices, both sexual and story-related. Writing is good, visuals are great, there's really no reason to dislike this game besides the fact it's been abandoned.

LIPS ARE LIPS RIGHT BRO!?
(Only people who enjoyed the game to the fullest will understand this reference )

Pros:

1. Comedic gem
2. Mc is likeable along with great cast of characters
3. Plot is nicely established with great writing.
4. Music is decent
5. Renders are unique but need a bit polishing along with animation.
6. Offers non-straight content (optional)

Cons

1. Development moves at a very slow pace but is understandable given dev has a full time job and not a lot of support either.
2. Renders and animations could definitely use more touch up.

Verdict: I don't recommended games that have slow updates, but this is exception. This is a goldmine with awesome storyline and hilarious writing. It's very good at what it does so I don't want you to miss it.

Don't do yourself disservice by scrolling past this beauty....

Very dissapointing.

I was interested because of the gay and trans stuff and I really like that they are there, Fahir is my favorite character but I didn´t even really care about him, just like all the other character mostly it is just meet them decide if you want to do sexuel stuff with them and nothing more, the sex scenes themselves also are just very bad the animations are awful and the sex talk boring.

The MC is also very unlikeable, ugly and just very stupid, and what really made me hate the game is the unfunny jokes that happen like every minute , especially when the Narrotar talks I wish he didn´t exist or would just talk when it is needed not to make a joke.

Version: Abandoned

Its rare to see a game that caters to variety of sexual orientations and does it well, considering the fact that i even went ahead and explored the gay routes for the fun of it even though i would not call myself gay, if you even venture into the sexual orientation that you dont care about to experience more of the game, you know you are playing a VERY good game.
I also really liked the characters and the plot itself, it doesnt take itself too seriously, but it can be real when the need calls for it, which i approve of this mixture.
The 3D characters and the sexual scenes are really well made too, with the only thing lagging behind in that department is the animation, but its not too bad.

Its a bit of a shame that this game got abandoned, the story itself doesnt end abruptly or on a massive cliffhanger, but the ending of chapter 3 did give somewhat of an ending while also promising much more thing to come. Its a shame, but what we have is decent enough.

Honestly a great game with some nice depth and choices with the characters. I'm a big fan of Astrid especially, but all of the feminine characters have great appeal. Zilv is definitely a cool, likeable character as well for anyone into masculine men, but that's not my thing. I honestly wish this game would continue being developed but from the look of it the developer has given up on it. Which is a shame, because there really is something special here...

Game Exiles ,
It is one of the five best games I have played, everything about it is wonderful, characters, options and dialogues between characters, sexual diversity, wonderful graphics and also a wonderful adventure story, this is a game that is art
My rating is 5/5.

4/5 its good

4/5 render is good
3/5 story is decent
3/5 char development is good too, to bad i can't see the future of relationship with futa girl, that brown chick is also lovely

big size but worth to try,

Great Game! Got very into it and loved the options and alt routes. Can't wait for the next part, and screw the haters dev, take all the time you need bc your game is worth the wait In My Humble Opinion. Especially since they got it for free on here! Thanks!

Im loving the humor and the renders are nothing to scoff at either. Story got me real invested. Boner chuckles everywhere. I really don't have anything bad to say about this game. It is a rare gem. Looking forward to how this turns out. Good luck on the game dev.

The "story" of this game is one giant shit-post. The jokes are out-of-place, pop-culture and internet meme references. The sex content isn't even that great to explain sifting through the 'wacky' storyline.

Also the MC constantly breaks the fourth wall to talk with the narrator, who talks like a shitty role-player.

I love this game, I loving the story so far and I also love the characters all of they, really I need to find a good friend like Darius, dude it's just too cool, but the only thing I hate

SPOILERS!!!

is that Abel is dead please bring best boi Abel back

Amazing game with great renders and a solid plotline not anyhing too complicated but engaging all the same., and the humor is on point.

now for the elephent in the room, gay and trans content, the content isn't forced on you and you have a choice how to engage that character as a friend or a love interest, all the characters bring something they are not there just for the porn. you have so far 5 LI a dude, trap, trans and 2 girls, though 1 girl will be available in the next update i think. and tou have a choice how a romantic relationship will go too.

All in all i highly recommend it even if you are not a fan of trans/gay content.

all in

The art and the story are ok, but we are doing porn are we not. The sex is subpar, I believe this was made to appeal to a homosexual audience. Which is great in my opinion, but I think this might make the straight sex scenes suffer? I don't know I didn't play the gay ones, I'm only guessing.

The game is funny in places but doesn't redeem the rest of it. It just wasn't enough to make me hot.

It might be worth giving a shot to you, seems like a lot of people like it, it just didn't land for me.

Pros: Storyline and comedy are fun, characters are great and diverse (some aren't particularly my taste but oh well). Render quality is pretty damn good too.

Cons: Length between updates (no one's fault but ya kno had to list it). Fetishes might not be to everyone's taste but truthfully there's enough porn games/VNs catered towards straight dudes so c'est la vie.

This is literally the best porn game I have played! Great writing and especially comedy (and I mean it's good on it's own, even without porn. I laughed more and louder than from acclaimed stand-up comedians), interesting and cute characters (so alive and interesting in fact that I ALMOST got Tahir romanced as well, which I don't do because I'm straight and male bodies aren't attractive to me), real chemistry between them, sex scenes are good, plot does make sense (which is rare in this kind of games). Finished all 3 chapters in one go and waiting for more.

3 best characters so far:
1. Astrid
2. Darius
3. Narrator

If I could say something "bad" I would mention lack of sincere female love interests in group with whom you really spend your time (there are female characters with whom you can have sex but they either got almost no scenes or aren't very suitable for relationship in my taste) and that main hero is a little stupid and empty. Which is expected, really, but still.

I love a game that gives that much attention to trans lovers. Really liking what I see so far, I hope there's even more shemales, even if optional. Any time there are new trans/trap content update Im coming back to this game.

An engaging, witty, thoughtful game and it would be a mistake to quickly flick past the screens in a hurry to get to decision trees or the intimate parts without going thru some of the hilarious conversations that take place.

Each character seems to have their own agenda while the MC is thrust into a leadership role he's probably not ready for, but is going to try.
