VN - Others - Luna in the Tavern [v0.42] [TitDang]

haven't seen this ammount of paywalls in a while, and by while i mean over a decade

doesnt really make you want to support ~ which is sad because DotA stuff is a bit rare (and im a DotA player and fan), the art is really nice too, but the Developer's behavior is absolutely disgusting and makes you think "what kind of bs could he pull off in the future if i support?"

It sucks, they are more concerned of protecting content for who is paying than actually putting out quality content, same thing that "forbidden fruit"did, its a waste of time.
The history is okay, nothing too innovative the bad part is that the progression is weird and you have to find the correct answers to get the scenes, but not being Ren'Py its harder than it sounds.

LoL actual bullshit that you can't even save ur game without being a patreon. Keep up the greedy work mate.


just some random letters are written here to reach two hundred letters to post a review. I donly playe the gsme until the first dialogue. Tried to save before first choice, EA games wanted me to buy save game DLC. so i deleted it immediately

If i could use one sentence to describe the game it would be "pay to play". Seriously, patreon button is everywhere you cant even save game without paying for it. The game has no place on any free game forum it should be patreon exclusive. Stay away from this unless you're sure you want to drop money on it

Hard pass.. making profit from a game is fine, being a very greedy developer and cheating people out of basic features is not fine. The artwork is nice, that's it for the positives. I would give 0 starts if I could. The story does not make up for the fact that you have to pay for that story.. it is not very fun or inspiring. I am very glad to uninstall this. This game is a waste of time..

Agreed with the other reviews.
The games rating would fly up to 3+ stars if the only paywall was to make the latest chapter available to Patreons.
And of course, all the features should be unlocked for the public versions.
The game should have some music and sound, it would add a lot to the atmosphere.

As of now :
+ Art is unique and pretty nice
+ Scenes are hot

- No sound
- Too much features behind a paywall
- Grinding to unlock scenes and gameplay is only text with some choices

The art is ok, and gameplay isn't bad however like everyone says, everythings locked behind being a patreon, if the quality was on par with some of the other top games it'd be more reasonable, however only if you're really into this game would I recommend it.

Locking the ability to save behind a paywall. Requiring an online connection most of the time. Dropping popular projects for hyper monetized ones. Do you really wan't to see this model that makes even EA look like a people focused company?

Really? To do anything in the game you need to become a patron? Noup.
Off the list. I don't mind supporting someone on a patron if the game is worth it. This one is just to greedy. So the game is just not playable.

it's like watching free hulu, you know they want you to pay........
even options are tied to subscriptions

would be much better if it wasn't blasted with popups telling you to subscribe to his patreon. art is great

I played the offline version that a good samaritan uploaded which is a version behind and this game does has good merits for one the art is damn good and very much in the style of dota the writing is ok the guy who made this has definitely played the game and there are very little porn games for dota that being said this is still a porn game and even with having the offline version that doesnt ask you to pay for everything i still felt bored enough to unlock the gallery the only reason this game isnt in renpy is so more paywalls can be added its just a visual novel in the same way as DMD with some actions required to be taken to view certain scenes.
TLDR i dont recommend playing the game without playing a hacked version the scenes are good but its not really worth playing through several times to get them

More "PATREON" buttons plz...
I understand that the author tried very hard. I really like drawing! But I don’t understand what the author wants to achieve with such aggressive advertising. She's everywhere and she's annoying. But as much as I would not like to put one star - the author does everything for this.

Too much pay to "everything".- 1/10 IGN.
Nah seriouslly fam, is pretty shitty that ur game have a patreon option for almost everything. Heck even the skip option have one. So for me the game is just a money juice, not cool.

Patreon system looks likes free-to-play phone game. Worst game i have ever played. Graphics is okey, It infuriates me very much that it is required to be the project’s patron for any ordinary action, you’re just scoffed at everything. Such a policy is not particularly acceptable in this genre of games, because not everyone wants to be patron, we are yohou pirates and a bottle of rum

Everything about this game, besides the art, is trash. The scenes, the gameplay, the setting, the writing, and, most of all, the business model and paywalling of basic features. Even if the game content was quality, which it certainly isn't, the shithousing going on here would make it an easy pass.

No skiping and very aggressive marketing charging for saves, but i like the art and the idea, and it seem to have a very wide choice tree though it requires the player to play again to see all the content

9/10 Text
There are many fun cases and interesting events in this plot. Probably the beginning too long, but other text is interesting to read, not boring.

9/10 Gameplay
The first part of game has few ends, you can play every time as if almost first time. Interesting to know content of each branch of plot. Recently had been added new rewind system in sex scenes, very convenient

10/10 Art
Moreover I've just fallen in love in emotions of these characters


As to paying, you have one free slot for save or load without paying, it is quite enough for acquaintance to game. 90%+ of content is available to any man from internet without paying. I think it's quite fair policy.

10/10 Art
I like the style!

10/10 Sex Scenes
Facial and gangbang scenes. That's what i like.

8/10 Story
It's better than most of the games here.

10/10 Gameplay
There are no complicated game mechanics, but with the built-in walkthrough and gallery, the game makes it super easy to find out which scenes you have missed and how to get them. Saves a lot of time.

YOU CANNOT SAVE OR LOAD WITHOUT PAYING.
I'm putting that there as a tone setter or for anyone just browsing the reviews without reading, as that sentence best describes the playing experience of Luna in the Tavern for a non-patron
To start, I'll set aside what really should be the only focus of this review and say that this game started with a strong introduction and well drawn art on the protagonists at the very least. Every side character suffers from a lack of detail but for a female protag corruption game that's always been an expected and accepted oversight.
The plot is your usual "the world is out to grope you in creative ways" plot that you'd expect from the title and tags. Nothing too stimulating or intriguing outside of the h-content.
Now moving onto the only thing worth noting as someone who's just trying the game.
Anything this visual has to offer is completely overshadowed by the inability to properly enjoy it due to the most restrictive paywall I've seen on these forums. It doesn't just restrict you from accessing the content in the next update available to patrons, it displays what you will be missing anytime it can, before you start, at every decision even if you only have on choice this update and when you've reached the end of the update. On top of that there's also "premium" content that you won't get to see with time either, instead of just mentioning it once it will be sure to put the menu on the screen only to try to open your browser (9 times off of one click might I add) telling you "pay me".
I have nothing against paid content, but if your game is so empty without it and you have to put it up just to inflate the illusion of choice maybe just put your entire game behind a paywall instead of putting up what was certainly an unenjoyable demo where you can't even skip through scenes that you don't enjoy unless you've paid. They even disabled progressing the text with a keyboard or clicking anywhere on the screen, far too tedious.

Unless you're willing to fork out money to possibly be swindled I would without a doubt skip trying this one.

I wanted to say art is 'i guess ok -ish', but i think noxian nigths had better art, so art is 'meh' (too 'inconsistent' for me).
Ikr different type of game, but the core is a moba parody.
I never played lol (league of losers ), but noxian nights is an old time/all time favorite.
On the other hand im sure that no one is going to have this game as a favorite without knowledge of dota, or even huge fans of dota.

You need to log in to access basic features of a game -.-
You can lock art away, but this is really over the top for a game with very mediocre art.
Altho the creator's idea of how the game plays is much better than previous games 'windranger wanderings'. But better doesn't mean good, and just like the previous windranger games this one too is just a waste of time.

But I guess the effort to make a dota related game is very well appreciated, I wish all the best for the creator, these games didn't cut it for me, maybe the next one does.
