Ren'Py Completed Heads Will Roll [v1.5c] [1917 Studios]

[Shipfan66]

Hmm... unusual find for this site, a game that's erotic without being pornographic. I'll give this version a try; for once, more of a try-before-you-buy type thing. If it plays good and progression makes some sort of sense, then 4 bucks on Steam is not a bad price. If not, then I'm not out any money. Win/win there lol...

this game is so stupidly rng that god i swear XCOM has a better system than this

 

[desmosome]

Bandits with poison just destroyed me lol. Was a decent first run to understand the mechanics. I'm trying not to save scum this time, but gambling reduces stress the most and you seem to lose gold more often than you win. I think campfire should give same stress reduction as gambling so you are not forced into gambling to rest.

Actually, I think the whole stress relief mechanic could be overhauled. Add some more interesting options for it. The first thing that comes to mind is a brothel where you pay gold for the highest stress relief.

I guess there is no point giving feedback though since the dev isn't here.

This game is not well tested. The developer is too worry to be called casual and appeal so much with the realism without properly understand the nature of combat and how it can "realistically" (which is impossible) implement in a turn-base system. Combat consist mostly of recover and text of fails rolling down, till 3 times consecutively despite decent coordination stats. And enemy also not well level, peasant levy can be tough as nail not so much different with hardened militia. I see the game maker already patched that problem, but did he tested the game before release? or just makes everything "hardcore" and throw it to the market and claim it to be "survivalist" flavoured or worst "realistic"?

Very amateurish. I got a headache playing this game.

edit: Reminds me of some fan made mods, that "hardcore"s game by doubling HP, lowering damage, reduces hit rate and other nerf fest. And how can he celebrate the vast amount of loot? When looting consistently decrease your virtue, while given it was consider not noble at that time, but this suppose to be conditional.

yeah after i was hit by several failures and getting raped even with agility at 50 which is supposedly make you easier to dodge blows. I just went ahead and did what any normal person done with a game is fucking changing shit in saves and noticed the game is even broken as you cant continue with few story events and its not even done completely plus the sex scenes arent worth all th fucking hassle

I did some statistical testing on percentages in this game. Did 100 reloads for a 25% lunge attack at the head. Three hit. That's 3% chance to hit, not 25%. The game engine and combat is garbage.

 

[Zellgoddess]

after playing this, from another site mind you havent tried the final of it, and probably wont. the combat system is just like the person above has stated. ITS GARBAGE. you have to be fully rested before any combat otherwise you loose, next your stats mean squat literally 10 points nets you like +1% damage or +1% to hit, and lastly your items will break so often its too much of a choir to keep replacing them. That said the fun of this game is actually the crazy difficulty the game is to beat, as for sexual content the game is rather lack luster in that department.

However i would recommend this game not as a porn game but for those who want a challenge. (even if it be that challenge comes from poor game design).

 

[TimeWalker]

it played like you rolling a dice...and the only time you hit success is 1 out of hundred and they hit you is like 90% or more. this game utterly not fun, you can't learn mechanic since it base on luck. sometime you got hit rate at 92% but then for some reason enemies could block it with shield. then what's the point to play? story and ideas is interesting tho.

 

[hobson]

Yeah this game is just roulette with like... three pictures of a bird's arse. Not worth your time.

 

[Logan Septim]

Don't waste your time.. there's literally no sex scenes other than a couple of semi nude stills of the girls for the entirety of the game!

 

[Omae wa shinda]

Impressive bait

There needs to be a "softcore" tag, for when a game contains nudity and sex scenes but don't actually show anything, like in R-rated mainstream movies.

You need to hit, and you need to also bypass armor. The top% is chance to hit, and bottom% is the chance to bypass armor. The entire battle system hinges on stamina management. You should only attack when your stamina is high and the enemy stamina is low.

 

[desmosome]

This is a ridiculously complex combat system. The fights are generally about attrition. Low stamina means all your rolls are worse. You get hit more and you miss more. Same for the enemy. You keep your stamina high and find opportunities to attack when there is high % hit rate. Your ideal target body part will depend on the type of armor they are wearing. There is also fatigue. If you use respite instead of making low % attacks, you can keep your fatigue low while wearing out the enemies. Agility and weapon skill is tied to hit chance, so those are really important. You'd also need some coordination and endurance. I put 8 into crafting... and it seems kinda crappy. If I spend those points on combat stats, I would be much stronger I guess. Some fights are super hard and making poison (super OP) for cheaper with crafting is kinda cool I guess. Not sure if it worth all those points though.

 

[UnDeaD_CyBorG]

The period is certainly interesting, historically, though I've never quite had a desire to live in there.
I guess I'll have to try this.

 

[Lewenhaupt]

Is this game ending before entering london? Or something is wrong with the free version?

 

[Omae wa shinda]

Damnation this buggy ass game,when i into olivia route , it just broke the text choice and whole game went down. The mature content suck, show boob no sex is like a blueballing teasing game. Battle system is like crap too, you either focus agi and str with proper gear or you can endure the battle with end (which is a useless stat since enemy can just end you with bleeding if you don't prepare bandage). Why fatigue system is a thing for "RENPY" Game. i hate fatigue in a stressful battle, you loss about 20% of your stats (80% if extremely tired) which by the point you fight a second enemy with full gear and morale you get wtf battle.The enemy is like bullshit rng. If you got peasant or militia with low type armaments,you in luck then there full plate asshole with shieldbashing you and armor penetrate you with his buddy's arrow. The earning gold is crap

 

[desmosome]

Ok, i feel like I understand all the mechanics, but the enemies kinda out scale you way too much when I came back home with the prince lol. Those fucking bandits are crazy and you gotta fight 3 of them. I guess the idea is that you can't be some kinda superman and have to run away a lot or something. I dunno. I feel like enemy scaling could be toned down by like 25% and it would still be really hard. The fights where you are outnumbered really needs to have more chump enemies. Or at least give some back up on your side too. I kept that fucker Bart alive through the whole war and he doesn't even join me on my adventure lol.

Once the balancing is ironed out, this would be really fun.

 

[Pirata]

The trick is keeping your stamina high, its very similar to legionaire's life so endurance training is a must. My main tactic was shield bash then bleed attacks in a battle of attrition.

 

[desmosome]

I think my 8 points in crafting was the main downfall this run. Those points in agi/end/coordination would have been much better. Also, I couldn't train sword more than 6. I guess that's the max for solo training, but I never had a chance to spar or learn from someone....

But then, hmmm you need crafting to get inventory space.
