Ren'Py - Hero Party [v0.6] [BlackWizards]

This review is as of 0.6. I played for about 30-45 minutes and felt I've seen everything the game has to offer. I wouldn't recommend playing this game.

So the AI art is good and they do have some of my favorite characters, Raven, Supergirl, Spider-Gwen.....but that's it.

There's no story. Tony start is alive and throwing a party and that's it. You say hello to the girls and then give them gifts and repeat the same "flirt" lines of dialogue and the same date until you have enough love points to fuck them. And then you fuck them. Certain characters already have their sex scenes unlock right from the start like She-Hulk......I'm not sure if this is a bug or the intended experience which just shows you how much of a mess this game is.

"Sex scenes" are bare bones, with only one or two sentences supporting the pictures and virtually no build-up.

The game mechanics don't exist. Okay, for all game developers out there listen to me. Getting stats in a game is SUPPOSED to be either a puzzle or a decision making process. Puzzles are for more linear experiences where the end goal and road is the same, but you put in fail conditions and the player has to think; " how do I get these stats in the limited amount of time that I have?". Normally you put in hints and rewards for players.

In decision making stat games, the stats allow the player to play how THEY want to play. Adding in a dom/sub tracker, maybe a futa tracker etc. That way players can customize their experience. RPGs don't just lock the path behind a boulder and demand a player do 100 push-ups to increase their strength, that's BORING. Don't lock sex scenes behind a stat wall if all the player has to do is a 100 flirt lines, that's BORING. Make it a puzzle or add something else that acutally encourages thought and planning.

The girls look ok for ai art, but there are just a couple of poses for all girls. Nothing unique than some dialogue changes.
It could be much better if there was a story or if each girl had unique scenes.

As of v0.5, this is fine. It has potential and I'll keep checking back on it in the future.

The good:

• Good AI art
• Great cast/selection of heroines

The meh:

• Premise doesn't really add or subtract anything, pretty generic

The bad:

• Very grindy for no reason
• Not a lot of variation in the art - would be nice to have more variety, content is a little light for a 0.5 release

There is no story or game play. While the ai generated art is good, it is the same pose of all the girls, no varieties. Even though there are costumes to purchase, there is no point, as the sex scenes are just two naked images. And the content is so less for a 0.4v release. Would have given one more star for the art if there were different scenes for different girls or more scenes in general.

potential seems pretty good even if it's light on content at this time.
Reminds me of Something Unlimited but with a touch a pregnancy and no or lighter corruption ( you could argue the cocktails are a corruption potion).
Quality aicg, but a bit samey from one caracter to an other; same pose same expressions etc...

I enjoy the preggo stuff and I see the game with a huge potential. I would like to have something to do in the game, like a minigame or a goal because just passing days to earn money is not very fun. Enjoy the game developing journey

so im writing this as of v0.2. ive played now for about 15-20 minutes and i like the art. the character models are well done and even the MC (Tony Stark) is rendered well. on the other hand it seems really grindy as you basically have to keep sleeping for almost 10 days to be able to afford an income upgrade only to be forced to sleep again to repeat the process until i assume you are able to start getting the gems which will allow you to summon the other heroines! i know this is still in early development but having one character in the house and only one event to do with that character until you sleep enough to let your bank account grow to the point where you can afford the super expensive summon to bring another heroine to the mansion is just too grindy in my opinion! maybe once the game is further along and there are more things to do with the heroines and when they actually move around the mansion to have random encounters with (game tutorial mentions this but have yet to trigger one) this wont be as big of an issue, but it made the game seem pretty slow paced if not boring! and while the event with spider gwen on the beach looks nice i dont know if repeating it over and over is enough to keep me hooked on this one. i see lots of open spots when you go to the "guest room" section so im assuming the plan is to add more heroines to the list to be summoned! when that happens that seems like a cool idea! however as stated above, im still unable to find where we get the gems to do summons from and it takes about 10 in game days of sleeping to have enough money for an income upgrade which i hope gets to be large enough where the money grind isnt a huge concern anymore because im sure players wanna spend the game looking at naked super heroines and not trying to manage their money!

overall it has potential and may even be a nice game later on after we get some more stuff to do and more ladies to do in the game! art is nice but it cant keep the feeling of tedious grinding at bay! its worth an add to the watch list but im probably gonna hold off for a few updates before trying this one again! keep at it dev! its looking like it might be a good one!

P.S. i know the small intro at the beginning made an explanation of how Stark is still alive and the game takes place on a certain earth in the multiverse, but wonder woman isnt even a marvel character! not trying to nit pick but maybe if the summon portal detected female heroines from across time and space! this would leave you open to bringing just about anyone into the game.. just sayin!
