    the game nails the most important aspect of lewd games. which is a compelling premise and the ability to play the game left hand free.

    the fact that the story is bare-bones is a benefit because it is merely there to serve up the premise and get out of your way.

    lust is best delivered to a player in small increments that culminate into a big nut. this game does that well by subjecting the player character to a constant ntr anxiety induced by the non stop groping and sexual isolation of his fiance. this kind of edging is similar to the gameplay loop in karryn's prison.

    i give this a 3/5 despite the objectively bad implementation not because it appeals to my fetish, but because the fundamental aspect of lewd games, a compelling premise and an actual attempt to keep the player in a constant state of turned-on, was very well designed. people will give high scores to games that have better implementations but miss this critical part.

    First impresions were good, but trhis game it to grindy

    you need to grind an unecesary amount of hours to get a very lame and bad scene were the MC gets cuckholdes and it not even animated i dont know what the creator had in his mind doing this game but is just so bad that it not wort of time, Very bad game and a Very bad wank playing this ''game'' more like a point and click, you should just full save it and watch the scene still not recommended

    It got better ver.1.60 is what it should have been at launch. Hopefully they expand it till at least ver.2.10 for bonus content and more dialogue in between moving from battles and resting at the tent. The grind is on par with timeloop after the updates. It would be cool to see if there's more they can add to heroine armor and clothing, stuff like enemy acid resistance and enemy elemental attacks so you can make tactical choices on what to wear instead of these panties have higher flat damage resistance ill always wear them for the rest of the run it would add spice for those who try don't get cucked route.

    I tried, i really tried to enjoy this, the only thing it does better than the previous games is the MTL being slightly better (still really bad) even cheating the game is pure grind, very few scenes and only a few are good

    I was playing this with Drchainchair's mod and I liked it. I haven't played without the mod.

    People say it's grindy, but the slow degredation of whatsherface's character is surely what makes the game interesting? I also like the dungeon bits, and trying, and failing, to protect her chastity

    I stopped playing because I just couldn't get into the main character's mindset. He seems quite happy to have his love interest stolen away, so there was no motivation to keep playing. He wouldn't lose anything to have her stolen, so why would he try to keep her being moral?

    Not so bad, was hoping there'll be much more animation than just frozen standing image. Need some guide to understand in what part that are needed and/or understanding the game itself. It's could get you moving but don't get your hope up too much.

    AChangeling

    Kegani Lab started getting things right with Sexy Bar, where you would have to grind to keep the bad guys away, but you could still do it. And if you wanted to just corrupt the girls, you would slowly find them in sex acts with the bad guys, getting teased with their silhouettes and moans over a curtain.

    Then they made Time Loop, which was so much better, because now, not only you could raise your favorarity with the girl, you could "Cycle" the bad guys so none would get too far with your girl. And if you wanted to see your girl getting corrupted, you would literally get jump scared by an animation with sound of her kissing or sucking someone's dick in the halls. If any guy got far enough with her, you would find them fucking in their room, the pool or the toilet. Heck, if you were really trying to get cucked, she would fuck a guy in your bedroom, all of which would have animations and sound.

    Then came Village and Barbarians, which you would be able to keep the two girls safe, and progress the story. If you were trying to corrupt them, you could just let the village be taken by the barbarians, and you would have the entire village being fucked, with re-used animations, but animations still. Then there were the bad guys, who would harrass the girls in public and escalate it to fucking them in public.

    Up until this point, they had peaked with Time Loop, but still put enough things in the next game. First they put the peeking mechanic in TL, but the circle would be in a fixed spot and you would always see something; in the VB they make it smaller until mastered, but still fixed so you would always see something.

    But in this game, WOW!
    First there's the dungeons, which is how you get money, it's straight up boring. You have to choose between three options, because the two bottoms one are downright useless, and you can't even make it an idle, where it will either follow the bad guys instructions or just press one of the options everytime. The rewards? Little to no gold, and items are rare, and most of the time bad armor.

    What about the corruption? The corruption only happens in the dungeon, meaning that you can train a stat to max before going to the dungeon, and all that your girl will do is watch the bad guy fucking one of his girls. And if you want to corrupt the girl, you go into the dungeon and just keep the fight going until the last action from the enemy. While in the other games you would have the surprise of getting jumpscared by the bad guy suddenly harrasing your girl, in the game the bad guy is always there harassing your girl, there's no surprise or unexpeted event. You can let them go a separate way than your's, but these most static CGs, with some few peek scenes, where the hole is 1/4 of the screen MAX, and you can miss the action. You can peek the bathouse after the day to see what's happening, but there's no moaning unless it's your girl, in a couple specific animations.

    There's the brothel, which for your girl are static CGs. There are windows where you can see some silhouettes, none of which are your girl, all of these are re-used from the previous games, and believe it or not, there are more animations in the brothel windows, than there are of your girl. Your girl can get a tattoo or high cuckold to fuck random guys, which are shown on the map, far away, with re-used animations and NO MOANS.

    This game is a massive downgrade, and there's basically nothing interesting. No meaningful surprise events, barely no animations and even fewer with sound effects, terrible grind and miserable rewards.

    Lots of grind but still good.

    I like kegani laboratory alot. The moral corruption is also a factor for the same reasons all taboo kinks are, but here there's a rare sense of tragedy (even tho NTR characters never act like real people). Imo the cheating aspect is interchangeable with any immoral act, and in fact can be isolating as someone who isn't particularly attached to monogamy.

    Nothing improve. Even a downgrade compare to his previous works. The arts, the plot, the visual, everything.
    Only a few H-scenes.
    The only thing that make this game time consuming is the grind for them scrolls and gold to improve pathetic stats which barely change anything.
    Such a waste of time for so little content, a result of a low effort dev want some quick cash.

    I think Kegani Labs is one of the best NTR game devs out there, so I am a bit biased towards them, just fyi.

    There are some good things and bad things about this game, first the good, then the bad, then the worst.

    Art: 4 Stars, the art of the games to me is great, girl is hot, outfits are hot, scenes are hot.

    Game: 4 Stars. I can see from this game and a Village targeter by Barbarians that Kegani is experimenting with their engine and trying to create a more active gameplay loop. I applaud this, the game is vary barebones, feels like a late 2000s flash game, but I see that devs are trying to make their games better.

    Premise: 3 stars, theres a debt that must be paid. Pretty cliche for NTR, though the "mark of succubi" is a real letdown for me. Any situation that forces FMC to be or do something not in her nature falls flat and takes all the corruption away from the story.

    Content: 2 stars, theres barely any, compared to their best games (Time Loop and Welcome to the Sexy Bar) it may have about 1/3 or 1/4 of scenes + animations, even though they reused their animations for some background scenes, which is wierd to me, not using more to give the game more content. Even if they are reused, they are hot.

    Gameplay Loop: 0 Stars, the worst thing of the game. The game is fairly short, theres about 8 "different" levels (all the same only the enemies and rewards change) and 5 level difficulties (you dont have to play every level at every difficulty, in fact, you can just play the first level over and over again and win that way). Even with how short the game is, its made so you have to grind for at the very least 100+ days. I played in the hardest difficulty and took about 200 to unlock some skills to max (like magic eyes which is a cool mechanic but it sucks the way it is in the game, even at 999 you can still miss whats going on), and after all that time I hadnt really seen many hot scenes or scenarios, thought kegani labs games are always a slow burn and rely on some sort of rng + skill checks to see certain things, in this game it feels like almost nothing happens at all, despite having everything at 999.

    The game deserves no more than 2 stars, the idea is good, the direction they are going is good, but the game is bad. They should have kept this one in the oven far longer to add more content and justify the amount of grind needed.

    Wish I could give half stars, because this is a 3.5 for me.

    I love the creator, I think his work is fun to play with some great variety of scenes. Unfortunately I think this game is lacking a variety of scenes compared to others.

    The concept is interesting and the gameplay is fun, with scenes during the combat now, which are actually of a good quality.

    The lack of variety kills some of the replay for me, but I understand it is still being updated, or possibly being updated? So this could get better over time.

    Looking forward to their next projects though, this one was enjoyable for me.

    I've played grind fest RPGM's that were less grindy then this. Where's the micro transactions? Spend over 100 days just trying to get stats to be anywhere worth using. And of course you have to grind out almost every single G damn dungeon.

    Good concept, but why did they have to do NTR Village V2?

    Review for v1.00
    This is a Kegani game through and through. A interesting idea, mired by poor graphics, gameplay, grind and file compression. But, the ntr experience is still here, and you can find something to enjoy.

    As for playing the game, I would not advise you try a "pure" run on your first attempt. Too much grind, too many roadblocks, too much save scumming needed, too many traps to fall into. Go into this expecting to see ntr and degeneracy, and the game will flow much smoother.

    Also, here are some hints I wish I knew before starting the game:
    - You can spend all your free time in town early on with no penalties. This includes grinding contribution, favour, and skill points.
    - Unlocking higher tier dungeons is vital to getting money. You don't need to be able to beat the final dungeon of the tier to succeed in early dungeons of the higher tier. Dungeon bosses also strongly differ in what they do, so skipping some and farming others is preferable.
    - Unlocking harem girls give high boosts to your rewards, attack power, and loot drops, get them asap.

    Ok, I've been observing Kegani Lab for some time and I was kind of hyped for this game, as they tended to have some unique concepts and the dev kept getting better. It's a shame the game is worse then the previous title: "A Village targeted by Barbarians", but I don't think it's the worst out of their catalogue, I'd give it 3,5 stars if I could.

    THE OBVIOUSLY BAD:
    Grind - it's as horrible as everybody pointed out. Personally I see the intention behind it: I think the design was supposed to be similar to Time-Loop NTR, where you're supposed to grind the stats, loose your first game and then go the the second one. The level cap on ero training for heroine seems to confirm it for me, as when she gains enough development she can't gain any more. The problem is that the structure behind time-loop really facilitated and communicated that idea, over here it's muddled and I don't think there's enough substance behind the ero scenes to justify it.
    I managed to skip the grind using the cheat engine and I suggest you'd do the same when playing this game.
    ARTSTYLE - kegani lab tends to make really ugly games, with character arts seemingly traced and with cheap-looking 3D assets. There's no escaping this one, check out the art to their other games - you'll get a similar quality.

    BUT
    I honestly enjoyed my time with it. I love the idea of forming an adventurer party and seeing your gf being toyed with when you're fighting. Later on there are additional mechanics like splitting up, where the gf and ugly bastard go different way to the MC and you get the possibility of seeing the glimpses of ntr. There's also a Lewd Seal mechanic that makes the gf want to ntr the protagonist and the ugly bastard, some enemies give this seal with their attacks and it slowly accumulates.
    The wardrobe mechanic is really cool, and made me want to grind a bit, even if it was pain in the ass to get the good drops. Also you can go the beach with the gf and she gains a tan - a really underappreciated fetish, I wish more scenes would incorporate the tan though.

    Overall I jack up the rating a bit but I think the game is simply better then Village girl NTR and NTR house, which infuriated me beyond reason. It's a shame it's worse then previous two games that kept being better and building on eachother but I'll definitely check out the next game from the studio.

    I recommend checking it out if you, like me, are fascinated by the games from this studio, but definitely grab cheat engine before that.

    Took 2 whole nights to early morning sessions to "beat" a play-through. I'm not entirely sure its possible to get a good ending on the 1st run since there seems to be perma-progression needed for NG+ like armor and skill carryover.

    I like:
    -The art​
    -The BS/fragile premise on why infidelity is "okay" in the story. It's comical.​

    I don't like:
    -how freaking looong that grind was (I stopped being legit 2nd session).​
    -You can get locked out of endings bc of arbitrary thresholds and 0 training points left. These thresholds are high and cap is 999.​
    -Cap being 999 makes you feel the +1-3 to exposure a fight.​
    2 Stars and take my advice, play the beginning to get a grasp of what K.Labs was going for then just look up the CGs. Maybe even speed clear a whore run to get the Gallery unlock from Harem mode.

    Erosia

    I never thought that KeganiLab could get even worse than Barbarian NTR, but here I am, completely and utterly proven wrong.
    I'll make this terse and succinct.
    Extreme grinding, you get 50 gold per level 1 dungeon clear. It becomes 300 at level 5. Worst case of grinding from them yet.
    Lack of animations, previous games had plenty of animations to look forward to. Not this one. There's something like 10 animations overall, most of the content is CGs.
    Horrid gameplay, Sexy Bar had the most engaging aspect of management, while Village Girl NTR and NTR House had Slay the Spire type gameplay. This is just pick an action and stick to it. 20 times per dungeon run. And battles are just attack or defend and nothing else. Defending against Bruno does nothing.
    And that's within the dungeon, outside the dungeon, you have to manage the girl's lust and increase your stats. Don't have enough scrolls? To bad, get cucked. Unless that's what you're after. The scrolls AKA 'contribution' are essentially your show of fealty to the guildmaster trying to cuck you. He'll allow you to take the girl so long if you swear to be his little fuckboy.
    Then there's the supposed harem aspect in the bath.
    Nope. No fucking content. Not even a CG with them. May as well not fucking exist.
    KeganiLab's trademark glitchiness. Not to mention massive file size for the lack of content.

    This is just... what the fuck man. Things are supposed to get better after they get worse. What is this fucking game? What is Kegani doing?

    Sin-xix

    terrible.
    grind-fest with minimal payout.
    somehow less content and lazier than previous games.
    avoid this. play the others.

    the vanilla run will take even longer btw.

    try village targetted by barbarians or time loop ntr.
    same dev.

    bloodybutunbowed

    Probably the best gameplay loop Kegani has ever had in one of their games, ruined by it being the worst grindfest Kegani has ever had in one of their games. "Making the choice between getting the combat done faster so the waifu gets harassed less and doing to commands the guild leader gives you for guild reputation" is genuinely compelling, and then the grind drives you to engage with that system as little as possible.

    Should've just tied progression to number of dungeons completed.

    As a big Kegani lab fan, this was a huge disappointment. The core concept is cool and having the heroine NTR be an actual part of combat was a nice idea, but the implementation is absolutely horrendous.

    This is one of the grindiest games I have ever played. There are about a million different stats to grind, and the heroine even has a limit to how much you can grind her stats, so you have to pick few to focus on, because you can't get them all :).

    Honestly, there's no point in reviewing any other aspect of the game because it's such a waste of time. There's even a "quick battle" settings in option, but it's still so bloody slow.

    The only reason I'm giving two stars is that for once the translation is actually kind of understandable and the core idea was good.
