VN - Ren'Py - Live to Fight [v0.6.7] [Grinder]

Excellent Adult Ren'Py VN with a more compelling and believable script/dialogue than most. Models are really quite good as well and it's honestly a good balance between the story and adult scenes and sex. The whole MMA story arc fits really well and it's got more character than the usual "MC moves in with Landlady and roommates and doesn't actually have a life while he goes around peeping on everyone at night." Also the decisions you make actually affect the gameplay and affect which characters you see more and do/don't have scenes with as the game progresses. I highly recommend it and look forward to future updates.

It has an interesting enough premise to hold the game up but it's overall pretty empty imo.

There's nothing exactly engaging me or making me want to know what comes next since a lot of it is just variations of the same routine. The constant cuts to the father demanding to know the MC's whereabouts doesnt serve to do much unless we start seeing him create a plan of his own

The renders are solid and what kept me interested in the game. Kat, Jess, Emma, Mrs. Johnson all grew on me pretty quickly

The writing however needs quite a bit of work, both in fluidity and complexity. There's quite a few grammatical errors and incorrect character tags that trip up the flow of the game. And the dialogue makes the characters, especially the MC and Mark, seem almost like Neanderthals with their peak persona being a dumb jock.

As for other aspects, there also happens to be quite a few missing images while although not as important, still serves to be a problem. We get a peek of very solid animation in the last sex scene before the update ends but up until that point, the animation had been pretty minimal

I'll stick with this game because I just want to see how the story progresses but there's still quite a bit of work that needs to be done

I'm going to have to give this game three stars. The story is interesting enough, but this game needs a lot of Polish. Missing images, mislabeled text boxes, grammatical errors, etc. Sill, the models and renders are serviceable, and the animation is decent. I'll definitely put this game on my watchlist. Maybe come back to it when it's complete and the kinks have been worked out.

t was a good game but not interesting story. The game begins and goes like the other games. The different option are just that the story has fights and you can't achieve every girl in a short time. But this make get sexier the game.

Story : Like I said, It's not a different game the other ones. But I admit it is a sexier game than the other ones.

Render: Renders is very good and the dev make better the renders in a every update. espacially recent updates.

Character: They are very sexy and attrective. And they don't similar each other. Just MC's mom and Mrs. Johnson are same person. If I don't remember wrong.

Animation: Animation could be better and a few more pozitions in every fuck.

Writting: Englis is not my native language and I improve my English day to day by playing kind of that games. İn this game stand out a lot of grammar mistakes. Sometimes I don't understand what they want to say. I hope the dev rewiews the texts and fix them.

This is a great game. The male protagonist is a cool guy. The plot and the fight aspect is really fun. Renders and girls are really beautiful and lewd scenes are hot too. I'm looking for the new updates in the future.

Another good game that could be 5 Star in the future, One character I hate is the Protag's friend Mark. EVERYTIME things are getting interesting between the protagonist & Mrs Johnson Mark turns up about as welcome as a fart in a crowded elevator. Other than that she is pretty much the most interesting possible love interest in the game, not to take anything away from the others but I had a similar experience with an older woman back in the day, I had known her years before anything happened. so yeah I have a personal interest in this part of the story. Just hope the creator makes a multi route thing where you can choose who you want to be with lol. Fingers crossed for the next update

Very Good Game. One of my Favourites. Good Graphics. Interesting Story. And the one thing I like the most is the MC who is a Boxer and a good one. This game is a good combo of action and romance. But it takes to much time to get updates. Please give more updates. I can't wait. Best Action-Romance game ever. Most Recommended. Hope updates will be faster. Thank you. Keep it on.

The game/novel is very good, but even so I swear, if it’s not possible to "move forward" with Mark’s mother in this version, I’ll abandon the game ... Every time it’s just in the preliminaries with her and to be honest , it’s the main reason I’m looking forward to each update.

Good story so far.
Pros:
Good looking women.
Dialogue isn't long winded
Cons:
Grammar needs some work
The mini games are a bit blah
There were a few missing scene images when I played through
Over all its a pretty good VN. The story keeps you interested, and there's a decent amount of content. Looking forward to where this goes. Keep up the good work

4 stars, and its a shame. Because can be easily a 5*

The game have an story and a theme. And are original ones, not have been seen a gazillion of times. The graphics are good, you don´t feel pushed into relationships and the MC have some reasons for his behavior.

But...

The English it´s so-so, have an abuse of timecards that add nothing and breaks the flow of the story and the development of the secondary character it´s inconsistent. Fine with some of them, but there are others that seem forgotten. And have minigames. I never have seen the point of minigames in a story driven game.

All of the later issues are minor. The major one it´s that the enemy of the MC, as far of 4.9.5, have done nothing. And he should have.

The script could be better, and those minigames are suddenly placed, it was weird with bad hitbox. Have some interesting ideas, you should try to get a partner to help you to write the scenes. Don't give up and keep going!


edit: oh yeah, i forgot to say, but there's MUCH time card (those "later", "later on night"), and most of them are useless, because had just two or three lines between them

So this game is really awesome. I like the characters and the concept is pretty cool. I like games like this and I can see it becoming one of my favorites once it is finished especially if the quality improves a bit.

So I'm playing the game in English, not sure if there are other languages available but I must say at times the spelling and grammar is pretty rough. I can still understand all the conversations but the mistakes pile up and get slightly annoying. The other issue I have is that the game has problems remembering your choices. There is a girl early on that you help bring boxes to her house, if you refuse to have sex with her the game still thinks you did. Once again, not a deal breaker of an issue but continuity is important and it's not the only error of this type in the game

As I said earlier, the story, renders, and the setting makes the above issues easy to overlook but I fear that the game will always be a bit sloppy if those errors aren't fixed.

Definitely recommend the game in spite of the problems and I really hope I can improve my rating if these issues get hashed out.

This best game ever and very unique ,renders are best quality , well written realistic story and good dialogue, game play is amazing it put you really in the fight , the sex scenes are perfect , yeah very the best five star good job !!

This is one of the most beautiful stories on the platform. I absolutely love it. In other plays, the Main Character and other characters' relationships are often exaggerated. However, everything is normal in this story. I loved it a lot. Congratulations.

Wow!!

OK this game deserves a lot more love! I love the store, I love the characters.
The renders are decent. Man, I enjoy it.

First off: I like the MC. There is only a few games of these where I actual like the MC where he is not some Beta male perv. (Obviously I enjoy those game too, but most of the times they are a bit of a weakling douche bag).

There are a couple of other games with nice non douche Alpha male characters and I enjoy those a lot.

The redhead GF (ex) is the bomb, The friend's sister is so cute and have a crush on you. The friends mom is a real MILF with character to match. The bartender is sooo hot, the MMA training partner is a bad ass.

All in all a great cast with some other great male characters as well.

Minor...very minor critique.
Language can use some improvement. Not off putting at all, but some glaring grammatical errors.
The graphics are good and on par with most other games, but are not exceptional.

I wish more people will play and support this game.
Definitely recommended.

This game is very unique , the renders are great , well written realistic story and good dialogue, the game play is amazing it put you really in the fight , the sex scenes are perfect , it deserve 5 stars for sure.

The best part of this game is the quality of the renders. They are excellent! The story isn't terrible but personally not my cup of tea, but that's subjective. I did find the over use of timer jumps annoying...i.e 15 minutes later...an hour later.... etc...etc... and it does feel like the story is mostly linear. There are a few choices to make here and there that will unlock certain scenes, that was cool.

Overall, I'd have to say it was quite good. 4 stars.

Another good game that I feel has a lot of potential to go many different ways. I gave it 4 stars, but feel I could revisit it later and give a 5. The renders aren't bad at all, and many of the models look attractive without being over the top. The story concept is not used a ton, and really made me want to go and re-watch fight club. I'm really looking forward to seeing where the Dev takes this.

The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on v0.4.2...

This VN/Game shows some promise, and has a slightly different theme then you see in most VN/Games these days...

The visuals for the characters are good, including the scenes... The backdrops are alrighty with only a couple that seemed familiar from other VN/Games... The fight scenes are unique and done well...

The script isn't terrible, but it is riddled with broken English and some misused words... Probably stems from poor translation/interpretation... The further into the story you get the worse it gets though... The most commonly misused word was when the male protagonist was talking so some of his guy friends using the word "men" instead of "man", many different times... Someone deffinitly needs to go back through the script and fix it all... Outside of the broken English and so forth, for the most part I could still understand what was meant to be said or implied, so I was still able to follow the story alright with only a couple instances of slight confusion over the choice of words...

The plot revolves around a male protagonist who runs away from home due to daddy issues, but he steals some money doing so... And this catches up to him, requiring that he go back to illegal mixed martial arts fighting for money, in order to pay back his father to avoid jail or worse... Along the way there are many different opportunities to build relationships with various female characters... The choice is completely in the player/readers hands, does he perv after them all, or just go after a few select, or go after just one... There is a mixture of a couple, what appears to be, one night stands as well as some love/romance interests... There I a looming bit of intrigue when it comes to the protagonists father, but not much is revealed in the current content...

There is definitely a focus on the story elements, as the protagonist goes through a typical day mixed with training, seeing his friends, getting opportunities with various women, and just living his life... There is a real attempt to add depth and meaning to the over all main story, while also paying some attention to some of the side events... Which made me really look past all the broken English problems... If it had just been nothing but a porn fest, I would definitely not have given it as high a score...

During the few fight that occur in the current content, the player has choices that will help determine the outcome, which was a fun concept...

Overall, outside of the translation/interpretation errors, the story felt mostly realistic, well thought out, and had some depth to some of the characters... This VN/Game is still early into it's development, but its content seems to be decent thus far, which was a pleasant surprise... I look forward to seeing how this one develops and will definitely check back on it at a later date, as I hope to see the script fixed, and to see how the story and love interests stories develop... Best of luck to the developers....

3.0 NEEDS WORK

The story while somewhat unique from what we usually see here, is riddled with plotholes. The worst part however is the writing. Many, many mistakes as if it was poorly translated or developer tried his best at writing in English (I know I shouldn't be the one pointing poor English out, but it is fair to mention it in a review).

Characters are average looking, and while they try to have personalities, the writing fails them here really bad. There are options you make, but they are super simple to follow, just "yes" everything romantic or sexual. I wish I could write more, but there is just isn't anything else worth mentioning about them.

Scenes are probably the only thing that somewhat saves this game. Animations are surprisingly good and frequency of H scenes is quite acceptable, but fizzles dry towards the end of the current build.

Overall, there is a possibility that the game could be salvaged if the writing is completely redone from the beginning, and more content is added with unique events to develop characters further.
