VN - Ren'Py - Keepers 2 : Shattered Realms [v.0.4.2 Ch.5] [Lumari]

I cant wait for thhis game to be done... I played keepers 1 and it was a masterpiece in the yuri games. I will give this five star to show how good of a potential this game is so that the dev will be more motivated to finish this

Truly peak of what you can do with the koikatsu game engine, not to mention the gripping storyline, the future of this series definitely deserves being watched,l. The characters are enthralling and surprisingly deep for a koikatsu vn but beyond that it even manages to have good action which higher produced vn's can't even say.

After reviewing Keepers 1 (Part 1), play the 2nd part of the game series, and now that's I meant "improvements" compared to Part 1, but not that much.

PROS:
1. Story/drama...: As KP1, still good, no less.
2. No Rushing: Because Part 2 has to explain lots stuffs in Part 1, so right at the beginning, a "proper" introduction was occurred, good start. And story is going on slowly with school-themed, but now we have interested part, which we can interact with all Queens, Maids and many species, has chances to understand them. Right now the game feels like a choice-based VN for me.
3. Better H-Scenes with good amount and no forcing Bad Ends when those scenes occurred. Bad Ends are rarely occurred on Main Story (mostly when interacting which Queens and playing Side Story), just careful when talking with dangerous/high-rank people.
4. A Wiki/Contents Management: Finally, they have deveploped it, but needs a lot improvements and arrangement.

CONS:
1. Graphics/UI: Same as Part 1, no improvements!
2. Typo: Same as Part 1, no improvements!
3. Performance/Optimization: Still bad!
4. More d*cks in Lesbian-themed game with Female Protagonist: At least the amount of "d*cks" in Part 1 was acceptable, but in Part 2 is just like, "the more the merrier", even with "Animal" D*cks WTF... Preferably I don't like it. And you've been warned! Don't let cute faces fooled you.

NOTEs: I was just feeling bad for the game with good story but not much attention, and figured out why. And I have a chance to talk with devs. They did make sure with me about some of the "improvements", and Graphics, Performance will be NOT IMPROVED, which are 2 important factors that mostly decided your game quality and people attention, only Story is deveploping. That could make game not good for the long run.
Not to mention like Proofreading, UI, Wiki (Contents Management), Characters Introduction, Dealing with Unknown Characters Involved, Making Characters Easily Recognizable while in Conversation...but no hope then.

CONCLUSION:
Better than Part 1, sure, but still need "a lot" effort to improve every corners of the game.
Hope it better someday then I will change star-rating.
Also hoping for Part 1 Remake, although almost impossible.

Better Character, better world building, better writing et overall better story.

Keepers 2 manages to get better in pretty much every aspect.

Only thing that could get better are the baddy, but the story is not finish so they could still surprise us.

Honestly this game is a charm to play and I liked everything about it.

Pretty much all I said about the original Keepers game still applies. If you are into visual novel type story telling and lesdom, this is for you.

Very narrative focussed but not to the detriment of the lewds, it goes hand in hand here. The scope feels ambitious when it will come to managing all the character interactions, but the foundation is solid and the dev has proven to stick to their guns and pull through with part 1. Engaging characters and world. Still oftentimes pretty dark, but not insanely so and not gory.

Minute for minute I enjoy this even more than part 1 so far. The scenarios are much to my liking due to the aforementioned heavy lesdom and the setup so far promises lots more good stuff to come.

I look forward to every update 5/5

I played the 1st one but never made a review because it mentally destroyed me for almost a month and when i was finally over it the passion i had for the game was also gone but i am gonna review this one while also talking about the 1st one as playing this one brought the emotions and memories of the 1st one back

[story and world building]
simply put it's amazing the best story i've ever played in a porn game and i've played a lot somehow the dev has made a story that is epic mysterious unique cruel dark and hopeful at the same time the way the 1st game's story evolved learning more and more about the world's around you learning more and more about how the world's worked was jaw dropping than combine that with politics that actually made sense and amazing characters that you slowly learn more about etc. I literally can't articulate how good the story and world building is so i won't even try because i'll probably butcher it just know that it is top tier the best of the best and i think all done by one person but it can get pretty dark and fucked up actually made me tear up a few times while making my blood run cold multipe times like i said took me weeks to get over it and that's something only a few shows games etc. Have been able to do to me story 10/10

[Characters]
Simply put amazing every single character is amazing and there are a lot way to much to talk about every one of them truthfully i don't even remember all of them but that's not because some of them where bad i just have a bad memory and there are simply way to many for me to remember and i don't wanna spoil them in case some of you haven't played the first one they are that good honestly it still amazes me just how good and varied they are while having so many of them if you played the 1st game you will know what i mean if not play it right now just beware the game will mentally destroy you like it did for me btw the same goes for the 2nd game this one amazing characters the best in any porn game ever characters 10/10

[the graphics]
They are really good i'm pretty sure the models and graphics are of koikatsu though i'm not 100% sure of that regardless if they are they are really good way better than i thought was possible with koikatsu the models in particular are amazing really hot and beautiful and all unique from each other they all look different and the different species all look the part while being sexy as fuck to boot definitely when you see them naked in the sex scenes the backgrounds are also really good but what amazed me and still amazes me is how many unique locations there are while i don't remember every location since it's been so long since i've played the 1st one i do remember just how amazed i was at the amount of unique locations which looked really good it genuinely felt like i was going on adventures with my team so graphics 9/10

[Sex scenes]
Finally i can talk about the sex scenes because they are truly amazing and hot as fuck the dev truly knows how to build up sex scenes and makes them deliver sometimes even suprised me how hot they where while there aren't any animations in the game that's a plus for me because so many koikatsu or honey select games have such stale and boring animations it just ruins the scenes instead the dev had opted with still images with text which are done so well i can't describe it the dialoge and images are insanely hot and there are a lot of images every sex scene has more than enough images to make up for no animation i don't wanna spoil them but i will say the fetishes and sex scenes you can expect in both games (fingering, mutual masturbation, cunnilingus some with leg lock, facesitting, futanari, oral sex both with girls and futa's, blowjob, deepthroat, facefucking, one piss drinking scene from futanari, foot licking, foot fetish in general, domination, submission, vaginal sex, and some rape scenes but they are all game over's, also futa can be avoided i think been to long to be sure, and those are the one's i can remember me myself i am a oral addict and futanari addict so this is right up my alley but i'm pretty sure you can avoid most if not all sex scenes if you want to just enjoy the story anyway sex scenes 11/10

[conclusion]
this is a 10/10 game amazing story amazing characters great graphics amazing sex scenes varied locations all unique and amazing world building

This dev is one of a kind truly talented and nails and more than once surpasses expectations i will definitely keep my eye on this dev even after this story is done eventually and see what he cooking up next as soon as i have some money to spare i will send some money the dev's way because he/she/they truly deserves it

Great work. Loved 1 part. Already in love with second. Pretty good, 'alive' characters (not just models with genitals). Awesome writing and story. Excellent h-content. Seems that developer really puts his heart in his work.

Definitely would recommend to play this game.
