Ren'Py - Life's Payback [v1.3] [Vinkawa]

For some reason (virgins angry about the dev not giving exactly what they wanted) this game is getting a lot of fake reviews. DO NOT listen to them. This game is awesome, it has a lot of variety, very good animations, incredible characters assets and its just amazing the speed the dev has with the updates. The story is straightfoward as it can be, you are an asshole turning women into your sex slaves with blackmail and money, if you are into that the it is definitly the game for you, like it is for me. For the people making those fake reviews... you really have nothing better to do with your lifes?

Boring, uninspired sandbox. Characters has almost zero personality, you barely have interactions with them, besides the sex scenes themselfs. We given very vague and surface-level reasons to hate girls, and sent to farm points and collect scenes. I love all things maledom, but got no joy from this one, you don't get to care enough about this characters. Scenes themselves decently made, but that's pretty much it. Don't waste your time.

A rather uninspiring and poorly-made game.

Story 1/5:
The world is in a financial crisis, so our dad(who allegedly left the family a long time ago) forces us to move back with our mother so she can be eligible for government aid. Even though our MC was mistreated by his mother during his childhood, he agrees and decides to use this opportunity to seek revenge.
Also, since only families whose children have good grades can get any money from the government, we end up enrolling in school.
Yep, you read that correctly. The world's in a financial crisis, and the government decided to use this opportunity to launch the most moronic eugenics program you could possibly think of.
I don't think the dev knows what a financial crisis is, but ultimately, the story doesn't actually matter. After the intro, we go straight into farming influence points and money so we can eventually fuck all the girls, and the state of the world never develops further than what was established in the prologue.

Gameplay 1/5
Utterly boring and boils down to mindless clicking. Click on your PC to gain 50$. Click on a specific character at a specific time in a specific place to gain one influence point. Repeat until you've accumulated enough points or money to unlock the next scene. Given that a single item can cost up to 1000$, and some girl's scenes require 20 points - you're in for a ride. The gameplay exists solely to waste your time. There's no challenge or enjoyment in it.

Art 2/5:
Default, low-poly backgrounds you've already seen 1000 times.
Bad shading.
In many scenes, characters have no shadows.
Constant clipping, especially hair.
Good character models(none are made by the dev, but they are good nonetheless.)
I'm sorry, but it's not 2019 anymore, and such poor art quality has gotten pretty hard to even look at.

Animations 2/5 :
Now, the dev seems to think that taking animation scene data from Koikatsu cord and other places without crediting the ACTUAL authors makes him the best KK user the world's ever seen. Well, he's obviously far from it, but even the animations have several issues:
-Most of them don't loop correctly. You'd think a dev that boasts this hard about "his" animations would at least be capable of performing the absolute basic task of making a clean loop out of them, but nope. He isn't. In most of the animations, there's an awkward pause lasting about half a second where nothing moves at all. Given that most of these animations are only 2-3 seconds long, this pause becomes a very noticeable and glaring issue. It disrupts the flow and kinda ruins most scenes.
-Inconsistent quality. The uncredited animations are of good enough quality. Nothing extraordinary, but definitely better than the default stock loops. However, the dev actually made a few animations himself. And holy fuck is he bad at it. The quality of said animations is abysmal, worse even than the default ones. I actually couldn't stop laughing when I got to the Mathilde BJ scene. It's not just bad, it's comically bad. The animations like the BJ from the mother or HJ from the teacher are not much better.

Amazing game and sandbox done right 5/5

-You will not miss anything if you focused on one route
-Animation is amazing (bj lips are kinda stretched, please no)
-Dancing scenes are always perfect
-Mom and characters in general are hot af


-bad, nothing


gg

Very promissing game.
-basic revenge story but it's ok not every game has to be lord of the rings.
-standard sandbox with a mimimum grind
- diverent body types
- a dark skined "pet" =)

overall a good sandbox in his early stages

From what I played, I love it, it has the perfect dose of getting things done, not too much, not too little.

With the huge asses that they present to us, I would love for there to be anal, a lot of anal, not as a route, but as an option, not just vaginal, since many games leave this aside and incorporate it until the end.

All those asses deserve love, whether it's hard and raw, or nice and worked, or both, it doesn't matter.

Crazy developer, your animations are good.

A tip, remember that not all of us have the latest generation operating systems.

Beautiful work developer, keep it up.

Well, to put it simply, what I like it's simplicity.

The story is easy to follow (perhaps except the Introduction), not something to be bound/tied up by.

Graphic and scenes are Attractive enough. Top of average kind of.

Sound doesn't leave a big impression. I remember som SE like noice from falling and hitting something

Summed up: I look forward to Progress, but i might forget it.

Ahh. [v0.3.2]

Life's payback is my kind of story it has my favorite fetishes ;maledom,netori and maybe harem,The Animations are top tier English is not perfect but easy to understand and the characters are interesting enough to follow story,I loved Anna scenes ,Elise scenes and Nina one scene, can't wait for more content with sister and stepmom
Hope this game gets support and on my watch list , thanks vinkawa can't wait for future content......

graphics are good girls are hot story line is good. there is a small grind in this one the rewards seem well worth it. going in the comment the creator seems very responsive to people, so you know it going to go places

It´s a simple corruption Game, however, the renders look very good the animations are smooth and the progress feels natural. There is some grinding in the Game, but it seems to be well-balanced. This has some great potential and it's definetely worth a try.

Right to the point game, the good kind of sandbox, really good sex scenes and interactions, the dev listen to the people but still do his own thing wich i like very much, the characters are cute and well modeled an also are the the sex scenes wich feel natural and not like every other corruption kind of game were every female character want's to fuck the mc at first interaction, theres a base of things you need to do to gain the scenes but af the same time is not that time consuming, scenarys are great, map is easy to use, hints are straightforward and easy to follow so you don't need any fan guides or mods to get the scenes, also every character feels alive and with personality wich is more needed nowadays with all of this new games having blank just want to fuck characters, overall an easy 5 stars for me, i love it.

[v0.3.2]

Let me start by saying the story is dumb. Characters act like porn characters and don't follow normal logic. The setting is dumb. The MC's reasoning for acting bitter is asinine. If you absolutely need these things in your fappy game, this ain't it.

However, I don't feel any of the above issues effect the game all that much since it's great for a quick fap game with great models and H-animations, this is pretty much it. Scenarios are pretty hot in that B-budget porn logic kind of way. Only issue I have is how it feels a little bit too grindy, which wouldn't be an issue if we had a bunch of content in the game, but with how little there is at the moment, it doesn't work yet. The game hasn't been in development for all that long, however, and I see a good a mount of content for dev time already, so I see this issue going away eventually.

Great start or a quickie fap game.

[Update v1.3]

There's been some recent questionable actions taken by the developer outside of the game. Combined with the addition of extremely cringe middle school HMV tier unskippable cutscenes as of the last couple patches, my score goes down a little to 4/5.

Review for v0.2

Disclaimer: you won't play this one for the story

5 stars because it's a straight forward fap game. Not a story driven slow burn. Nothing groundbreaking, just solid. Models and scenes are hot. Dev also quickly updated the initial release with new scenes. Guess they won't be able to keep that speed up but one can hope.
It's a bit grindy if you only focus on upping the relationship of a single character, so I suggest multitasking the characters.
Looking forward to more updates.

Review as of v0.1

This had potential right here along with the models feeling different from the usual koikatsu style. Looking forward to how the dev progresses.

Story wise it's alright. Seems more for the sex which is fine. I may like a slow to mid burn set up but sometimes I just want a game that gets to the sex pretty quickly.

Models look good. No complaints. And they are actually varied types of bodies too.

UI ain't bad. Everything's pretty clear.

I'll give it a 4/5 for it's potential.

This game is really good, it's not all just images like all the other games here have included fluid movements during dialogues even and it looks incredible, I hope the new games are like this one which has a lot of potential, I rarely comment on games because they are They are all the same and very monotonous but here this type of games has evolved and I will support the artist who has done an incredible job.❤❤❤❤❤

Surprisingly very well built, no bugs, all animations full functioning and very well done, the pacing is pretty good and easy to complete in the current build and then the writing is well done and dramatically correct! (Grammer nazis rejoice).

Pacing for the corruption is decently quick but as the dev notes say the build is more of a teaser for the quality and it's pretty impressive. The feeling of the game is simialir to games like the dark path of business of loving or corruption path for the Tyrant, imo these were the feelings I had when making personal comparisons.

Looking forward woth great interest. Although I highly recommend and alternate sub method to patreon as they don't support most the content with rule changes, so recommend substar or Kofi or some other method that people can troll report so easy.

#needmoremommylove!

Really great start to a corruption game! The gameplay itself is uninspired, playing like most other family corruption games where you interact with the female characters every day to whittle down their resistance little by little. But there's a reason these types of games use that style of gameplay - it works well and unlocks content at a good rate - there's no reason to fix what isn't broken.

The corruption itself does feel a little fast-paced for a game without any supernatural reason for the women to comply, but that's not too much of an issue, and the great animations effectively distract me from any of those kinds of inconsistencies. All-in-all it's a great start to a game I hope will get fleshed out much more as time goes on!
