    A very juvenile story. It's not terrible, but you'll probably forget it soon after playing.

    Writing is not impressive and most of it feels like comedy, except there are no punch lines. There is a decent idea for general story, but the storytelling is simple, to put it nicely. Sex scenes are very short without much of build-up leading to them, and at least half of the scenes end with only one party of the scene getting release. Handjobs, blowjobs, boobjobs and thighjobs etc.

    There are a few meaningful choices that lead to alternative scenes, that's nice. Many other choices feel like relationship point traps, which they are, and some scenes will not play if you picked wrong options in past dialogue. Personally I gave up trying to figure out what the positive choices were and just defaulted to walkthrough mod to see all scenes. There are also several missing image errors, not sure what that is all about.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Playing this I could not shake the feeling that I was viewing the world through the eyes of unpopular 15 year old boy who has just finished his first martial arts training and just got attention from a girl for the first time. Head full of ideas how he will fuck all the women in the world and finally show those bullies at school who the REAL man is! That awful 'alpha male' facade every abused boy keeps up.

    MMA is revered in this game. The fighters are presented as some higher level of human beings, peak physique and mind. But mostly only through narrative description, not through the character's actions. The protagonist doesn't want to make a big deal about being a fighter, so naturally he just can't wait to humble brag about it to everyone. A day later everyone in the story knows he fights. A lot of the story is wasted at gym repeating basic martial arts exercises that this former champion has somehow forgotten. A lot of screentime without any eye candy or even interesting text in the gym scenes. Not very sexy content for a porn game.

    The protagonist looks like 20-something but "goes way back" with his teacher. Somehow he also had years of nothing to do in between and forget everything about fighting during that time. He wins fights in the ring and against any thugs in the street and bars, but can't do basic stuff in training and constantly loses to the other kid half his weight while sparring in the gym.

    A story full of inconsistencies. Being a humble guy the protagonist has no need for money, but to get back at his father for mistreating his mother, the protagonist steals half a million of his father's money. And then leaves the abused mother alone with the father while he goes off and buys a luxury apartment for himself with the stolen money. Father gets angry, but somehow can't track the son who stays near all his old friends in the luxury apartment bought with stolen money. Just another perk of being an awesome MMA fighter I guess.

    All the women in the world simply love him. He has a big dick. Swag! The story is full of nameless men who treat women like objects. They use crude language and only want to fuck the women. They are scum! We solve it with violence, hitting them all. We then fuck the women. But since we're super swag MMA fighter with big dick we're not scum. We're awesome, and all the women can't wait to spread their legs for us!

    The ladies themselves have very little interesting to say, but the protagonist has even less. He fights, that's all he is. Well I guess he also fucks, but doesn't seem very adept at that. At least he has a big dick. He also trains to fight. And did I mention the big dick? Larger than any other man. He also knows how to fight. (except not when training)

    Yes, it does get repetitive. Not that porn games need to be very deep, but somebody might want a bit more than whatever this is.

    I'll still give this game 5 stars don't get me wrong their are some flaws to these game still but over all i still love playing it and that's good enough reason to give it a great score to me because that is what games are for to have fun and enjoy them. Hope you keep up the good work I'm looking forward for more updates and future games.

    This is a pretty decent game, the story is interesting and maybe abit slow paced and relationship development between the characters are excellent and more believable unlike most of the other games here. The renders are pretty good too and as for the grammatical errors it not really that worse as everyone is making it out to be. There are definitely some bugs but that to be expected since this is the developer first game. I think the only problem I find is that the updates are pretty slow but that to be expected since he is not getting much support from the patreon

    Has Beautiful characters and a decent plot.

    Consider sharing your review of this game after playing it that would help the game and the players who haven't played this game. I just hope this masterpiece doesn't get abandoned like other good games which had the potential.

    I put this game off for a long time until I felt there was plenty of content to play through. The game delivers on some things I was hoping for but also disappoints quite a bit.

    Pros
    • Excellent renders
    • Excellent character models
    • Somewhat good story
    • Fighting, combat, and training

    Meh
    • The writing is decent but not great
    • I wanted to laugh more and much of the comedy in the game falls flat
    • All encounters in the game (aside from a few choices) are forced. It is impossible to ignore most of the characters in the game.
    • I wish the player had more control over combat and fighting. There are a few events where the MC does have some control but most are pre-scripted and forced.
    • Too many side characters that you get introduced to but get ignored for most of the game
    • The game doesn't have a harem tag so I'm not sure where the author is going with this game. Currently, the MC can romance pretty much every female available to him without consequences and/or anyone caring or finding out about his many love interests in the game. There is some jealousy between some of the female love interests in the game but that is about it. No one makes him choose in the current version of the game. You get to romance/fuck them all (not everyone yet but it's heading that way).

    Cons
    • English is below average. There are much worse games out there but it is obvious that the author isn't a native English speaker. Yet another author who refuses to use a proofreader.
    • Plenty of non-fatal bugs in the game which should have been fixed by now. If I had to guess, I would say that the author has a policy of not touching old content even for bug fixes.
    • Sex scenes are below average in content and quality. They are all far too short and end before you know it. They need to be more involved with more foreplay, more sex positions, and more passion. The sex scene dialog gets somewhat repetitive after a while (the author can't think of anything new to say).
    • Animations are below average. All of the animations are too short (.25 seconds to 2 seconds long maximum). They are also often choppy. The animations have a small back and forth movement, usually one to two inches maximum. It makes the animations look funny, especially since the MC has a long dick (he barely moves his dick back and forth). The animated characters sometimes will only have their hand/arm moving and nothing else. It makes the characters look like statues having sex. Their eyes never move and they have the same blank face the whole time.
    • The part of the story where the MC takes a break from MMA and loses all of this skills and abilities is not realistic. Fighting is like riding a bike, you don't forget. Yes, he has to rebuild his physical fitness and conditioning but the rest of it is nonsense.
    • The game overemphasizes the MC's lack of physical fitness throughout the game. Even after training in the gym for three hours a day for several weeks he can't run a mile or do simple exercises without exhausting himself. The author makes him out to be a total wimp physically, even after winning several competitive fights.
    • Overall, the game feels like the author put an emphasis on quantity over quality. Too many scenes and events in the game feel rushed and not complete.

    I really wanted the game to be better than it was. The game feels rushed. I really wanted to give this game a better rating but in it's current form I just can't justify it.

    Fix the English, bugs (lots), animations, and improve and lengthen the sex scenes and you'll have a four to five star game. I don't believe that the author visits this site so he'll never see this.

    Overall, I'm glad I gave the game a try but was disappointed in the game's execution for the most part. I love fighting themed games and was really hoping for a five star game here but it just isn't sadly.

    Live to Fight [v0.5.6] [Grinder]

    "Live to Fight" is a game that left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, it shows potential with its interesting premise of a young protagonist trying to make a living and help his family through illicit means. On the other hand, it falls short in several critical aspects.

    The most glaring issue I encountered while playing was the game's tedious and uneventful nature. The storyline appeared to stagnate from the very beginning, with little to no progression. I initially expected to see the main character's journey unfold, involving him in various criminal activities while balancing personal relationships and responsibilities. However, the core plot seemed to have been abandoned after the first day, leaving me wondering what happened to the original premise.

    Moreover, the repetitiveness of the interactions and events was a major drawback. It felt like every day was a repeat of the last, with the protagonist waking up, training, fighting, pursuing romantic encounters, and the cycle continuing endlessly. This monotony made it difficult to stay engaged in the game.

    Character development was another letdown. Most of the characters in the game came across as one-dimensional, lacking depth and unique traits. The dialogue and actions of these characters felt dry and repetitious, contributing to the overall sense of monotony. The exception to this was Emma, who stood out with her unique events, compelling dialogue, and visually appealing design. I found myself wishing for more characters like her to break the monotony and add depth to the game's world.

    One aspect of the game that might appeal to some players is its focus on sexual content. There are numerous explicit encounters, and these interactions are often used as rewards. Whether this is a positive or negative aspect of the game depends on individual player preferences.

    In conclusion, "Live to Fight" has potential but falls short in its execution. The lack of story progression, repetitive interactions, and one-dimensional characters left me wanting more. While there are moments of intrigue and standout characters like Emma, the overall experience was marred by its repetitive and uneventful nature. If the developers address these issues and breathe new life into the game's storyline and character development, it could become a more engaging and enjoyable experience for players.

    I really don't understand why all the high ratings, this game is pretty bad, i mean, the renders are great and the women hot, but just that doesn't justifies it. The writting is pretty bad, and it's obvious that the dev isn't a native english speaker, wich is okay, neither am i, but there is so many gramatical errors that it hurts, he doesn't know how to write something that is in the past ex: the mc says "i hurt myself training", while it should be something like " i hurted myself while training yesterday" and this continues through the entire game. The conversations are odd, emotionless, cringy, and feels like it's a robot talking, not a human. The story is kinda good, i mean, at least is original at some points, but because of the bad writting, it's wasted. The sex scenes are average at best, the animations aren't that good but it isn't bad, just...okay, but i do feel that they are very short.

    I think this would be a 4 star, actually, but there's a reason for the 5 star rating.
    It's a good game, with some minor translation issues. Good models, interesting story, but the "money" thing is a little confusing (not why, but technically). You can see that the developer is getting better with some more complex parts further in the game and the animations are getting a lot better too.
    So the reason I'm giving this a 5 star despite the translation issues and slightly confusing money thing is that this game is surprisingly unsupported. I was shocked when I got to the patreon and saw how little patrons it has, considering the number of views it has here and how much content it has shown so far. And despite that, the developer still manages to keep going, understandably a little on the slower side. But it's still ridiculous and this should get a lot more support. It's unthinkable to ask for quicker releases when this good of a game only has 67 patrons.
    The game isn't perfect and there's a lot that could be improved if it had more support, so please do it, if you can.

    Fresh idea with good pacing and decent models so far. The translation could use a touch up but as it's still in development I can only assume that it's on the 'to do' list.

    It's definitely not 'game breaking' but does become problematic in regards to the gravity of certain choices opening up further content deeper in to the game.

    Ideally, I feel games should be played as they were intended by the developer but in this instance the use of a walkthrough is a bit of a necessity if you don't want to miss out on a bunch of content.

    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
