Ren'Py - Abandoned - Heroes Rise: Prison Break [v0.13] [Skeep]

Well, the art style is among the better I've seen on this site, at least in the later half of the game. To be specific, they switch artists, and you'll notice it pretty quickly; some of the new drawings appear in the 3rd chapter of the first game, and then they're completely replaced in the second game. The new drawings are what I'm talking about when I say the art is good; the original art is comparatively average, so I think it was a good switch. The new art is what you'll see in the preview images below the download section, so don't expect to see any of it for a couple hours of playtime unless you skip straight to the second game.

The grammar and spelling are rough, and you'll realize pretty quickly that the person who made the game isn't a native English speaker, and the dialogue feels like it definitely might've just been copied straight from Google Translate. That's nothing unique, though, among porn games.

The gameplay loop is the typical carpal tunnel inducing grind of sending your character to work to earn money while skipping 10's of days at a time so you can save enough money to buy a necessary item to progress the story, although the second game does give you a somewhat automated way of earning money that makes it easier, so far, so maybe that could change since it is still in development. Another note about the gameplay is that it can be kind of confusing when it comes to what to do next for the story, especially in the first game. The second game has a built-in event guide for progression, so it's bearable, but the first one only has a separate guide that you have to install as a text file, which I followed and it worked alright for the most part, but the guide only follows chapters 1-2, while the game has 3 chapters, meaning I ran around chapter 3 like a chicken with its head cut off, clicking on everything and everyone, hoping it would progress me through the story, but maybe that says more about me than the game.

The overarching story is average; nothing crazy. Although I do have some personal qualms about your character's role in the story and how he interacts with it along with the main heroines/girls/peoplehewouldliketobang, I would hesitate to say the MC is in any relationship with any of the heroines as much as he's just trying to have sex with anything that moves, and I'm worried that if he does try to have any deeper relationship, he will seem pretty pathetic, more than he already is, given his actions throughout the games. For instance, so far, literally every main heroine has had a scene involving sex with other people. That already feels kind of awkward, but what makes it weirder is that pretty much every one of those scenes has been a direct result of the MC's actions, and most of the time it was directly set up by him. And most of these events the MC sets up are pretty messed up; I don't have a problem with that individually, but considering later on the game kind of tries to make the MC seem like an alright guy, it just doesn't work for me due to these events.

Some examples without including names would be: There are several more examples of this, but I feel my review is already too long.

Anyways, while I do prefer serious games with well-done plotlines, I feel like if the game wanted to take itself seriously, in my eyes, it would have to practically rewrite the beginning parts and maybe get an editor for grammar and spelling; otherwise, it should've just stuck to being a satirical porn game. But that's just my two cents on the matter, and maybe for some, what it already is is more than enough. I do like the concept and idea of the game, and of course, the art, so regardless of how it turns out, I wish the developer/developers luck, and maybe when it's finished I can come back and enjoy it for what it is.

To be fair, I think it's one of the best role-playing games. The only problem is that it's really complicated to play it and progress through the storyline. I think if a few things were sort of simplified and made more accessible the game would be a lot more popular.

Amazing game, I am loving it, every single second of it. People, don't let the Art design fool you, its's perfect. I lost several hours playing this one, listening to it's music or trying to figure out things for myself. Doesn't need walkthrough.

I would like to give it a four star rating or maybe a three star minimum.

But it seems, that the player can hardlock himself out of progression after some hours of grind.

To progress , you need to rat out fellow inmates. Problem is, if you chose the wrong tablet upgrades and clients (which are needed to rat out), the progression is stuck.

This hardlock is known since the early beginning, and the Dev doesnt seem to fix it!

This game is so beautiful. And who doesn't want to fuck a superhero?

But that's as far as the positives go. It's a chore to play. The writing in an assault on the senses. And the pace makes me long for an early execution.

In short the juice is not at all worth the squeeze.

I bumped it up a star, cause it's Power Girl and she's a peach!

grind fest that is designed to pad gameplay to make matters worse it seem more often than not old saves are incompatible. whether by design to make updates seem bigger or just by happen stance its still infuriating to have to redo the same old grindy crap every single update. only reason it gets a 2 instead of a 1 is that it actually boots up.

After play this i should say if you want play it for a perfect, awesome story, i should say its not your game.. In my opinion this game can be satisfy you with it scenes, and characters are so valuable also its gameplay is good therefor you can relax, play it and enjoy✨

This game is just strange. You obviously play a H-game, the protagonists first objective should be to fuck the blonde girl in his Cell. Instead you jump through millions of hoops to meet crazy bitches, who all hate you. Then you get a bit of eye candy and that's it. Also I missed like half the gallery, while regularly playing. You also get all these features, that do nothing. For example spy cams you literally only use once and then never again.Or you also get an app on your tablet for Messages but its never used. Despite you being able to buy multiple ones from the in-game shop. This is supposed to be the 0.9 version of the game. Feels more like 0.0.9.
You just grind until you literally break the money system and then just keep on buying stuff, that the game requires you to get.
Art is not bad but it all feels like they're purposely holding the player back through grind systems.
Story is also kind of subpar and really stretched out. So instead of trying to fuck that blonde girl, Power girl, you instead go for all kinds of other girls that are way beyond your reach, that all require very specific items to get to and then you have to grind their relationship points. But again for most of them you only get eye-candy at best. The game doesn't tell you that though. So you grind away hoping you unlock something that you might never will unlock because it doesn't exist.
Gameplay? Well there is almost no gameplay. There is a fishing mini game but most of the game consists of managing items and making money. Which can be very easily exploited. If you max out all your camgirls you get like 300-400 dollars each day and since the game is designed to skip a lot of time. You will end up with way too much money way too quickly, so it ends up a waiting game at the end.

too many unnecessary grind. forcing users to grind just to extend the game play time is a sign the dev is very inexperienced. such a shame, the interesting concept and artwork is just being wasted by the dev's game design

Okay how to put this simply. The game needs to be rebuilt from the ground up in order for me to play it.

Art is 5/5
Content from what I have played is about 3/5, good but very thin on the ground when you do get to it
Grind 1/5. Dear Lawd, this game takes the absolute piss with your time.
Thow in the game breaking glitch with the gym passes the game is nor worth it.
I'd say wait for a save and use the gallery but that isn't actully a scene replay just the art, so if you have any coding skill rip the files from the game. Look at them.

So. Here we are again. a "7th update review..."

I WOULD rate this a LOT higher if the past version and the new version weren't the same thing. Meaning all progress you've made is nil and you start at 0 again essentially. ALSO its broken. I didn't realize I had less that $200 in my pocket(Don't even get me started on having two separate monet inventories...) and I tried to buy gym tickets and not only did I not get the tickets. BUT I was no longer able to try to buy the tickets again. Couldn't figure it out, couldn't fix it. ALSO it feels like some events just aren't drawn for no reason other that wanting to put out an update. I like games with drawn art INFINITELY more than the DAZ/Illusion models. So I respect having actual art and understand it takes time, but take you time. Seriously.

The art has promise and with bug fixes and more to do and see than just a daily "Same picture of Power Girl boobs" would make this much better. And all the CGs I got before the game broke I didnt work for it was just "go to bathroom at night get hospital BJ" or "Cara hates you but sits on you and lets her boobs pop out at you" The progress and sexual content don't feel like they're related at all.

The game has potential so I didn't give it a 1 but it still feels so messy.

Linear game with lot's of grinding to pad out game time. Scripts are total mess too, it just made me sad when I saw them.
How do you fuck up linear game like this? That takes some talent.

Do yourself a favour and don't play it, if you are interested in art then just extract it with unren.

its awsome
the only reasons to give a lower rating would be because its very grindy and the invorement and interactions are not everyones taste
but the art is great the drawings are very pretty the girls are hot as fuck and the story is intresting
a few bugs here and there since its not finished and polished yet but it defenitly goes places

I like the idea / concept and the art is pleasant to look at. The story, mechanics, and play-through were just ... rough. There's no other way to describe it. It's clear that the original author is not a native english speaker and some of it feels like it's been google translated. It might not be so bad if the intro of flow the story made any sense, but it just bounces all over the place. Sadly, this is one of those games that I'll be unlocking the gallery on without actually playing.

The story isn't bad really and a little kinky. The art is ok, a little amaturish, no animations, but fairly hot anyway.

What really ruins the game though is the gameplay. It's just a chore to play, completely unintuitive and incredibly clunky. Most of the hours spent playing will not be reading the story or looking at hot pictures, but clicking on the same few buttons over and over again to grind. It's the kind of game where you are drip fed content at such a painfully slow rate. You'll get a hot image (Black Widow titjob for example) and you'll only get the one sexual option. Once that's done you've got to grind again for ages to get a very slightly different version of the same scene (this time Black Widow takes her top off). Rinse repeat. It's infuriatingly tedious.

Honestly if you don't have a high tolerance for grind and clunky/ bad gameplay give it a miss. Or just find someone's save game in the thread. Otherwise you'll be spending many many hours of your life for very little reward.

A pretty quality game honestly had a really good time up to chapter 4! The game was overall fun and hot but a little hard to navigate and figure out what to do. I do miss the old art in the end of chapter 3 and the beginning of chapter 4 but it's not that bad she hulk looks really good in the new art style. Sadly though I found chapter "4" or "5" or whatever completely unplayable in its current state hope for good things to come.

i was excited for this game back when i first played it i'll play again once in a while to see new content but as i forget much of the gameplay and parts of the story i always start from the beginning... this time bugs have me trapped in a loop in chapter 1 and it's happened twice. super disappointing.. not to sound like a yelp reviewer complaining about a free product but i dont know if I even care to try again after wasting a whole night grinding.

Edit: I ended up making it through but when the art changes i gt a little less interested... raising my rating to 3 star because the game did get a bit better, unfortunately it hasn't progressed far since that point but there is still a fair bit of potential in this game

The game dragged on for a very long time by grinding and making money, although episode 4 looks unusual because of the drawing, there is not enough outline for the pictures. I don't understand why the game is being criticized, well, the art has changed and what is it? We all try and learn.

Art is inconsistent but it gets better. Story is ok. Grindy it can get tedious but it doesn't make it unplayable. Bugs only noticeable in the recent updates. Despite all that from what I've played game shows promise and ambition the recent updates show that and there's enough content to keep someone busy for a few hours or more.

The first 2 chapters, while grindy, are good. I specially like the artstile (Similar to Akabur), you can see it on the images in the first post.

The rest?? Trash. Going into chapter 3 the art is completely different, kind of super blurry, like the creator changed artist to a really bad one. The game starts getting supper buggy and to make everything even worse?? From chapter 4 and following the author made the game in a completely different executable so they are effectively a sequel instead of the same game. This means that bugs that were corrected in chapter 1, 2 and 3 come back, new ones appear and the art style is as shitty as the one in chapter 3. In short a disaster.
