Ren'Py - Abandoned - Gangs of Sky High [v0.02] [Naughty Hatter Productions]

Version Played: v0.02
Time Played: About 4 hours, reached the end of content

Now this was a pleasant surprise! I really liked the look and variety of ladies from body type to age to race. Overall, thiccness is the order of the day, but there's just enough body representation where I think there is something for everyone.

Secondly, massive props for having such a large chunk of content only two releases in. While there is quite a bit of exposition, there are plot beats and, most importantly, a substantial amount of sexual content from nudity and teasing to full on penetrative sex, though of course, your favorite gal probably won't have been banged yet.

Positives
+ Quality renders that strike an appealing balance of realism with some sexy exaggerations
+ While setting is bog standard "boy in school" the gang and criminal element add something new and the characters are fairly well-defined

Neutral
= As good as the character renders are, I don't know if I would call many of the women conventionally attractive. I kind of like this approach, personally, but I can see how others would want more supermodel tier women in their pr0n fantasies.
= Dev seems to be an ass man through and through. As much more of a boobs guy, I can't say I'm super keen on the assfixiation, but that's wholly a me issue, hence the neutral categorization.

Negatives
- The English usage is a bit unnatural, but it doesn't greatly detract from the experience
- Story is a little meandering at this stage. It feels like it doesn't know if it wants to be episodic or more. I imagine this will be refined over time.
- Ends on a huge cliffhanger! (I don't blame them though...)

Overall, I'm very keen on this game and find it very easy to recommend. Here's hoping for steady, content-filled releases!

Note to devs: Thank you for the awesome release! Best of luck in future development!

(review is for v0.01)

You have to really like nonsensical, basically clown-like, levels of silly to enjoy this game.

There really isn't much wrong with the visuals in terms of fidelity, but the entire game feels like walking through a pop-themed candy store.

The music and sound effects got repetitive real fast.

The story, as far as I managed to follow it, was just as silly as the rest of the game. It clearly doesn't take itself seriously at all which doesn't inspire me to care about it whatsoever.

It felt obvious to me that this game was trying to go for the feel of one of those colorful, "hijinky" battle anime but to me it really doesn't deliver on almost any of the charm required to pull that off.

I don't see myself revisiting this title any time soon. Personally I will never understand the draw of trying to mix adult pornographic entertainment with powered individuals themes in this particular way.

I'll start with the good. A soundtrack will always be a welcome addition and it made what I managed to play somewhat better. The renders are of good quality, not the best I have seen but indeed better than 90% of what is out there. The user interface is actually one of the best I have seen, the comic aesthetic is quite nice.

The bad on the other hand is certainly subjective but hear me out. For starters, the game feels like there is a plot somewhere here but it was buried by well an excuse for porn. I understand that is needed to sell games but well I personally like something more than just "here are the toys, play with the toys, play".

I am not saying this is a bad game, just simply not for me. I'll give it another try after a few updates but at current, I just can't say that it is a good game. Regardless, best of luck to the dev.

So far a promising new game with a interesting spin.

The story puts you into the shoes of student in a world dominated by gangs where martial prowess matters a lot more than good grades. You get to follow the story, make choices along the way that change how you interact with characters, and already features quite a bit of lewd content.

The renders are pretty well done and while some could benefit from a slightly higher resolution & clearer image, they're qualitywise in the upper strata of Renpy 3D games.

The characters are interesting, although most didn't get much of a chance to develop yet and the story is in its early stages. Our protagonist seems to know more than he lets on and has a bit of a history and a axe to grind with one of the more powerful gangs that seems poised to expand its influence further.

Overall a very promising game that's already worth checking out.

Weird but endearing. Characters are mostly freakjobs but the game doesnt take itself serious enough for it to come off as lame. The story itself is decent enough as well. Looking forward to future updates.

Very enjoyable so far.

Writing feels a bit inspired by anime. School setting, groups vying for control of the said school, a bit of a fighting theme and a badass main character with mysterious past. Quite a lot of good humour mixed it, made me chuckle a few times.

Anime like school setting allows to add much more colour and flair to female character cast. I found almost all of them attractive and interesting. Body shapes are pretty diverse: petite, sporty and curvy types present. Same thing with ages: a lot of milfs(that actually look a bit mature) and young teen girls. A couple of girls are eager to jump on mc so theres no blue balls here.

Gameplay consists of vn with some contained free roaming thrown in once in a while. As a big hater of sandbox parts in other games(like BaDik) the latter part didnt bother me here. They are rather easy and straight forward, I never felt lost, confused or frustrated during them like I usually do in other games.

Renders are above average but nothing amazing. There are animations during sex scenes and they dont feel junky.

Overall I rate 0.01 version of this game 4.5/5. Absolutely worth trying it out if you are looking for a new game.

really good first update. The story is not especially deep yet. but its fun smut. The characters seem fun and I'm excited to see what comes next from this game! The best thing is unless it gose the way of many game of its like (slowly dying of neglect from the devs) it can only get better!
