Others - Kronos Time Titan [v25.02.07] [Scarlett Young]

v9.01.3
Had this one on my radar for a long time. Always wondered why the ratings were so low and I now understand why.

I would like to firstly say that I enjoyed this game and fulfilled my fetish of dominating and having a harem. The visuals are really great and the story is interesting. Love the part about the witch era.

I've conquered 11 girls and got stuck at the mermaid quest (3/8 pearls). I'm not sure how much content there is afterward.

The biggest factor that I think this game lack is the unintuitiveness in the UI and gameplay. It's very confusing at the start. It's not really mentioned that there are multiple timelines in the game and for a couple of minutes you just walk around at the Beginning of Time talking to every NPC without progress. It'd be nice if the travel icon would flash after a certain point so you could see and click it. Speaking of travel icon, it'd be nice having a number on top of each timeline of how many quests there are left to complete or NPC to talk. Just hints to let the player know where to actually look for, since looking in the blind is demotivating and feels more like a chore than an adventure.

The Rewind is a bit odd too, but you can kind of figure out how it works in the end, but not the beginning. In the beginning, it's crucial to know what it does so you can level up, rewind, repeat. I'd suggest highlighting that one too at the beginning so the player gets used to the powers. Having a visual tutorial of what both of these icons does would be very helpful at the start because I honestly don't like to read too long paragraphs of explanations.


One biggest downer that I had was seeing a random girl and not having any interactable suggestion to commit sex when she's 1hp. Even when you transport them into your kingdom, there aren't any sex scenes (other than very fiew) and they just seem like static trophies. I see that there's a "Control" power, which I have no idea what it does and I really wish to have it, but I'm stuck at finding mermaids. I'm guessing it's perhaps a mind control power and I'd really suggest it being given out to the player sooner for more events with each girls.

I encountered a couple of game freeze and thank god the ESC button would help a lot to exit and come back. I think this issue happen when you click to many time/fast on a tile while the enemy is doing it's turn.

Overall, I think it'd be really nice to unlock more sex options for each characters, have them less as static trophies and reinforce the quest system and give more hints. The Game Guide would be helpful if there was an actual walkthrough of who and where to talk to.

But keep in mind that User Experience is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it's not that good.

I wish you the best on improvements! It's almost there.

The introduction to the game is a bit clunky.
Gameplay mechanics aren't that great.
Scenes are alright I suppose, I haven't been able to see much. Would've definitely preferred something that isn't 3D
The final nail in the coffin is definitely the amount of bugs in this game. It can be fixed in time for sure but for a project that has been going on for 2 years it has core bugs that should've been fixed ages ago (I got stuck numerous times in my first playthrough just trying to get through the tutorial.)

Looks like developer really acepted crisicism that he got at the start of the project and listended to it. Unfortunatelly twisted titan patch doesnt do much than just change dialog and number of age for the caracters and alow couple additional scene options. Majority of cases these kind of patches change whole scenes and caracter models. I guess this wont be in this game. Over all good game, just cash and exp grind could be reduced to make it faster.

T his is just my opinion on version 0.899.1

This was such a disappointment my opinion might be a little harsh I had to wait to download this because the version I downloaded would not run. I should have seen this as a red flag along with the other reviews but I just hoped it would be better. I played this for about 30 minutes and I regret every minute of it.

cons
terrible story
terrible gameplay
no save system
models are trash
no tutorial for the confusing gameplay and interactions menu

pros
none that I have seen

I know the dev was trying something new and has probably worked hard on this but to be honest it was just bad. The conversations are cringe as well as the story and gameplay everything seems rushed and not done properly. I know I could look through notes and discover what bugs there are and avoid them but this game about a time titan is just a waste of time enough already.

It was a nearly unplayable mess. Particularly poor and immersion breaking dialogue, the women have no character and are just the dev's poorly-written sock puppets. Not recommended and I didn't enjoy it at all, even though I really wanted to like it.

Update: It's gotten worse, especially in it's had longer to fix core issues and instead seems to pretend they aren't there. The renders while generic are interesting and fit it's niche, it could be a 3 or more under a better engine and with better game play, it's just so bad in execution it's like a -4 stars in playing it. Maybe if it had integrated cheats to cut the grind it would be a 2 or a 3 but as it is just save your time. The images/themes are solid but the game and engine are lessons in how not to develop an adult game.

What do you get if you take some great sexy hardcore fantasy content and images but then stick them behind a flawed custom engine inferior to most on the market and bury all that under a pile of grind? A game that would be better as image rips. It could have been 4 or more stars, the current end result is 2 stars. I may love the scenes and images but this game went out of it's way to make them not worth playing to. Do you know what it takes for me to not want to watch fantasy characters and monsters forcibly fuck hot fantasy chicks? It takes what this game does.

Between chasing npcs around in a god awful limited and square restricted movement, just to talk with them and resetting the timeline a dozen times just to grind XP off the blonde at the start, the story could be cool, I couldn't stomach "break your mouse click simulator" (thank fuck I have a mouse click macro) enough to find out. This game needs some cock and ball torture as a less grindy alternative to the gameplay.
Thank you.

Version Reviewed: Kronos Time Titan v0.898.1
with and without Kronos Twisted Titan Mod

The premise of the game, indicated in the title, is actually a fairly interesting framing device. The inclusion of time travel allowing for the Developer to design assets from different time periods and even using time travel to further enhance certain quests. The game is fun with a lot of humor, including self-referential meta humor and even slightly more subtle jokes relying on the knowledge of mythology.

That having been said, whether this game is a promising work or a waste of time is a matter of what you are looking for. "Adult Games" all have to strike a balance between the "Adult" aspect and the "Game" aspect and this one is clearly designed to learn towards the latter. While there is a decent amount of sexual content, there is less than many other games leaning more towards the "Adult" end of the spectrum would have.

The navigation interface is a little challenging to get the hang of, not because it is terribly complex but rather due to how certain things work. An example is the movement limit in the "combat map", which is used even when not in combat situations for interaction. It does show the mindset the game has been designed in, further emphasizing my previous assertion.

The renders are not absolutely top notch, but they are solid. The ability to change outfits for your "collection" to wear at your castle is a fun little touch. That said, the variety is somewhat lacking. There is a distinct body type which is the focus in this game and it is not an excessively curvaceous one. Not a good or bad thing, just a thing worth noting.

Without using the mod, the game is slightly weaker from a story perspective. The gameplay itself is really unchanged, but the story doesn't reflect the setting quite as well. I assume this is a matter of Patreon policy not being very supportive of Greek Mythology which has more than its fair share of incest, rape, and the like.

The game is still in development and that shows rather painfully at times. I can think of at least five teases for future content that left me grumbling. On one hand, it's nice to see where the Developer is going with things, but the partial inclusion thing can be a bit evil. That said, @scarlettyoung is incredibly proactive in responding to issues via the discussion page, polite direct message, and other methods outlined on the game page.

The bottom line.

This isn't my favorite game. The story is fun but not super compelling, the renders are good, but not fabulous. However it is an interesting take on balancing an RPG with an erotic adventure. It is without a doubt worth checking out though. I'm really looking forward to seeing whether future updates make me reconsider some of my positions or further prove my point.

The game is awful. It's like a medicore game from the 90's, but full of bugs, lacking content, bad renders and worst a dev that wants to enforce a certain way of doing things by locking out the actual user.

Recommend everyone to stay far away from this.

Version reviewed: 0.897.3

If you've been searching high and low for a game that gives a serious but salacious insight into the intricacies of Greek mythology... Just keep looking.

If on the other hand you want to see Greek gods used as a transparent excuse for over-the-top adventure, crass humor, and hardcore sex, then brother you've found your home.

Kronos is every teen boy's edgy power fantasy, written with just enough sophistication to make you cringe at what you once thought you wanted. If you're lucky, you might find some of what you still want. You'll still cringe, though. Cringe is compulsory. It's all cringe, you see.

Some characters are reluctantly sexual. Others will seek your touch (and by "touch" I mean "penis") with reckless abandon. Most will make you wish the game were already finished.

Progress has been steady since I first played Kronos about a year ago, and shows no sign of slowing down. ScarlettYoung is learning how to be a very capable developer, and is very receptive to any feedback that could improve the game.

It is unplayable. A few hours in and got 3 sex scenes (3 poor loops). Tried to have fun but bugs and freezes will kill your patience. Safe youself the trouble my friend.

Also, what is going on with the sound options? It is only on or off and even turning my pc sound down to 1/100 it is way too high. How is this even happening?

A BIT BUGGY AND HARD TO NAVIGATE. vers 892-2
Nice female character models, but the game for me is still a bit Buggy and difficult to Navigate. It kept freezing for me every time I killed a wolf, which is a lot. Power is not enough in the free game and doesnt last long. I t would be an advantage to have the extra Fairy in the subscribers only version. I will wait a few updates to see if there is an improvement, in the bugginess, before I decide if I will subscribe. That is if I can log on again to play the free version . I increased my rating to 3 stars now, based on the nice renders of the female characters. Its rare to see petite famales with normal sized tits., rather than the derformed looking ones so common now drawn with huge tits and asses. Worth playing for that reason alone.

Honestly, for a game this old it has remarkably little content. patch included.
The overall concept is interesting but there is just not that many scenes. The dev would be well served by sitting down and developing as many girls as he can for the existing "timelines" rather than building out more "timelines" or designing more optional clothes.

Great progress so far, much better than when initially introduced. Much smoother to play easier to navigate. The addition of a menu and tracker system has been really helpful in understanding Kronos' progress and gives a better sense of what to focus on.

Another one of the "I want to like it" games. Cool idea, but very, very bad game. UX is just horrible, loading screens and flickering, no zoom out, bad interface. And buggy. I stopped when it crashed the first time, could not stand it anymore.

My advice: keep the assets, and completely throw away your code.

The 'gameplay' gets in the way of the content. Died a couple of times before I could reach any sort of healing, then I got stuck in a loop where I ran out of energy or turns talking to a fully stripped thief that I had in my stable but still showed back up in the world and had to force quit.

Open world games still give you quests and objectives and directions, here all I got is wander around 16x16 hex tile maps times 30 without even a clear idea of what the gameplay loop is supposed to be.

UI/UX is horrendous, having to go through multiple screens to interact with someone on the tile next to me and the long ass turn based pauses like i'm playing CIV doing regular movement is super disruptive. Getting slowed to 1 tile range going next to trees with zero visibility is hot garbage. There's way too much empty wasted space that feels like a sand pit more than a sand box.

There's clearly a ton of work into making the renders but everything surrounding them and leading up to them feels like a whole bunch of chores that don't respect my time

The game shouldn't be played as it's hard to enjoy.

The game is weak. Both gameplay-wise and as a software (buggy with those pseudo html windows popping sometimes). Slow reacting software.
-too much grind ! I can't stress that enough.
-User Interface UI is a joke.
-DRM for cheats (why?!) so grind is unskippable
-very little to no help. So how do I heal between battles? A fairy to eat. Ok. HOW?
-little fap content (although renders are very nice)
-you just randomly travel a "map"
-battle move points while exploring a TOWN (non hostile town)
-battle system is average. At best.

Is this game really a 2years deep in development?

The author for some reason wants you to register and login just to play unfinished OFFLINE game. Fortunately you can go a folder deeper and run it from ktt.exe

This game is pointless to play don't waste your time, the concept is so good but the engine and way it plays are TERRIBLE, like the worst engine I've seen in a game so far developed. On top of that, there aren't that many scenes instead you can change their outfits. I typically don't leave bad reviews or reviews period but this is just ass and not the good kind.

And no I wasn't speed running to fap, some games I like that are on the grind more story-driven side are Farmers Dreams, RoundScape, My New Life, Man of the House, and Struggle With Sin, Please don't waste your time here.

Coming up on the 2 year mark and it has less polish than most 0.1 first releases.
The UI sucks.
The story is so thin and crappy that it would be embarrasing if it was the first release let alone after all this time.

The models are lack luster, the 'fighting" mechanic serves no other purpose then to slow you down.

Without a walkthrough you'll be clicking all over the place to figure out what to do next. Even with a walkthrough you'll be wasting lots of time because you have to trigger certain things at certain times it seems and if you didn't ... you might as well start over.

Heck, in the beginning you should see the mechanic to undress to teach you how it all works except.... it didn't work. *smh*


If I could give negative stars, i would.

There are a lot of issues with the game. Why would you opt for something with an internet connection. Use Unity not some garbage engine, if you really don't like Renpy, but that being said, nothing in the game uses features Renpy could not do easily, so the dev note on that is BS. It's about controlling users. Speaking of controlling users, anticheat is cancerous, you cannot change values. Opting for an online engine=bad, privacy is core to life.

Playing the actual game is also bad as it just uses 3ddaz stuff, no custom assets. Go play labrats 2, at least it isn't bad.
