Ren'Py - KonoSuba - The Harem Adventures [v2.1b] [EmperoXXX Anime]

Considering it's an early access demo, it's got a good foundation for a potentially great game. The story being a Konosuba parody is a great concept and the side stories seem to be leading in good directions. The dialogue is funny and fitting for the characters (although a bit dragged out at times). Art style and layout is pleasing enough for now.

I see both sides of the argument of the patreon promoting. The missing content stick out a bit too much, but is reasonable for early dev, but appreciated as a preview to come. Devs do need money to move quicker on projects.

Deducting a star for the minigames tho; the thumb one is eh (too much of a change of pace), that tree one pretty bad tho (clunky and annoying). I hope it won't become too grindy in future builds. definitely needs a revamp.

despite being 1.7 the version is heavily stripped from content. I may be exaggerating or I may be spoiled for choice on this website, but the game doesn't feel it's being played well mostly because of all the pay-walls put inside of it.

Another tragic tale of the porn game industry. Writing is good and characters all act as you would expect them, there's some good jokes to be had here and there. The dialog definitely goes on way to long though.

But the tragedy is the boilerplate stamped out mass produced issue of this genre, a game released to early with no content and to cover for a lack of content it's packed full of boring dialog that only ever leads to the Dev begging for Patreon subs. Not a single finished thought or story in here.

Also taking a 2002 flash mini game "click when line in green" and counter go brrrrrrr, or "click mousy button fast" and number go brrrrrr is not a game. There is nothing fun about it, its just there to pad out the games run time for some reason, as if the Dev gets paid to have people playing his game for another 15 minutes?

The only thing that is giving this game hope is the fact it completely relies off established characters, if it weren't for the real developer of the manga / anime creating the vessels puppeted around in this game there would actually be nothing here.

Lastly the graphics are just flat. Stuff you would expect 15 years ago, stiff and weird.

I feel like I am going harsh on this game but it's almost asking for it, the effort on writing is there, just clean everything up, bring the game into the 21 century. Ditch the flash mini game trash and yes I saw you can PATREON SUB *Air Horn* to get rid of them, do I even have to say don't do this? Is it so wild of a concept to people if you make a good game people will reward you?

Unless you see some massive change ups in the future this game is a prime candidate for a Megumin Explosion.

Honestly a pretty solid game based on konosuba so far. All the characters feel and act like konosuba characters something that you don't get alot from these parody games but from this I see alot of promise
