Review for Demo
Never in the years of going through the hundreds of games on this site have I had a Ren'Py game bug out at the main menu. I feel like that represents this demo well.
I'm sorry man but if it wasn't for the art there would just be nothing positive to say about this so far. It's a Naruto parody full of tropes that almost reads like I'm playing the fan-fic of someone who watches A LOT of anime. There's just a certain tone this game has that makes me cringe a bit.
That's not to shit on anime enjoyers. I watch them sometimes and am actually a big fan of Naruto. Boruto however, the time period this takes place, I thought was garbage and stopped watching early on. My point there is I can't exactly speak on the accuracy to some things that this is parodying. But what I can say from what I do remember, is that this takes lots of characters and dumbs them down to an extreme degree.
It's literally just a standard incest sandbox game but the dev has swapped in Naruto/Boruto characters. I am confidant if you just read the dialogue and didn't see who the characters were you would have no idea they are suppose to be from Naruto. They all just read like generic incest game mom, generic incest game younger sister, generic bully, generic nice girl best friend, you get the idea.
We ourselves take the role of "Haruto," an orphan, who is adopted by Naruto just because Hinata tells him to. While I sometimes roll my eyes at people complain about meek MCs with no spine, that is literally who we play as. It's the loser stereotype to a T. Turns out we are impotent and have no chakra. We get bullied, don't stick up for ourselves, and call our adoptive mother mommy. After our crush confesses that she likes our brother and not us, all hope is lost. Good thing a goddess swoops in, gives us a huge schlong, and gives us a way to become strong. Heard this before? I certainly have.
Opinions on proportions aside, the character art is nice yes. I can't say I'm in in love with the environments, but certainly preferable having hand drawn ones compared to AI. The animations, from the few I've seen, are the highlight of this for sure. These things, and heavily leaning on a Naruto theme, are all this has going for it. I ran into tons of bugs, the characters, even after taking them from a source material, are bland, and the plot is uninspired. I'd maybe round this up to three stars when it fixes all the bugs and gets more content, but for now I think two stars fits.
