    Review for the version [0.21.0] Contains spoilers. You have been warned.

    I'm giving it only two stars, instead of only one, just because of the whole workload on it. Still, I did not manage to finish it to the end of current version, so I may not have the full knowledge about all the events and RPG elements, but only those I managed to discover until I deleted it to avoid having to damage my already damaged brain even more.

    Overall Lust Age game is bad in terms of story, static graphics and animations, not to mention poorly designed RPG elements, or rather lack of those. I would greatly advise to either avoid it like a plague, or just play it at easiest difficulty and simply HOLD CTRL in order to see all interesting scenes, which are few at best I would say.

    So, the story is starting as usual, MC is a chosen one of some kind divine power and he's destined to become someone powerful and important and beat the evil.
    In Lust Age, MC is a chosen one of the godess of love, and has to move to gold valley in order to become the new champion and beat a corrupted elf and her master who are the cause of the bad fog which can turn everyone into bat-shit insane lust filled puppets.
    Yet, evil forces didn't account for the fact about all those girls, as men are not allowed there due to "reasons", are already sluts having regular orgies and can think only about having sex.
    So, MC is mentored by a horny and jealous nun which can only think about sex with MC, talk about sex with MC an sex in general, yet at the same time is giving him a task of having to build a harem, while also restricts his capabilities of creating one and having sex with the others. But to my suprise she, but only later in the game, can train MC in his mysterious new awoken power of lust, because he finally managed, or was somewhat forced into, having sex for the first time since half a year of damn grind.

    After that I simply stopped reading all the dialogues and following the story, because they were horrible, boring and repetitive. And that all you can say about the writting. It's horrible, boring and repetitive. Jokes, especially sex jokes, are repeated so often they quickly turn into annoyance. I don't think there is even a single line of dialogue without mentioning sex or insulting MC in any kind of form, of which "idiot" and "pervert" and repeater almost every second word. Second, because "sex" and "fuck" are often the first word.

    Characters are simply retarded sex maniacs without much of a personality. Your mentor is a nun only talking and thinking about sex.
    Your maid, a scarred sex slave, is angry with MC for not using her as a sex slave and in the end forces herself onto MC, because all she can think about is sex.
    A rogue MC had to welcome into the house is a yandere and, yes, you guess right. All she can think is about is sex. Oh, and calling you an idiot all the time.

    MC is but a timid pushover, constantly mocked and teased by the local population and used to relive themselves if picked a finally unlocked sex option. And used is quite fitting word here, because the way those scenes are written and shown, MC is into being dominated and told what to do, constantly not being capable of even standing for himself if needed. Quite the fit for new champion and protector of gold valley. The game lacks the [Female Domination] tag on it in my opinion.

    RPG elements can be described in but a one word. Grind. Difficulty ain't really a difficulty, but only the level of grind you want. So it's either No grind, grind or grind+ with option to turn it into ironman grind++.
    Increasing the amount of time you have to repeate the same event with a girl in order to increase her level, just to unlock few new dialogue lines, for some reason called new quest, just to unlock option to progress with main quest, just to be locked into grinding other girl, just to repeat it all over again with multiple of them, ain't gameplay. It's repetitive and unnecessary boring and timeeating click-fest.

    Not to mention, as for a game in which MC should be training hard to defeat "the evil" all he can do is to help around the area and be mocked. No real traning, beside using your lust power to learn how to disrobe people around. Just being forced to have a harem which you can't really fuck when you want, but when the game allows you for the sake of the story.

    As for sex scenes, I know for a fact that koikatsu contains a bit more sex scenes than those three used in this game. Because for penetration you have cowgirl, for boobjob you have a laying boobjob, while for a blowjob you have a... laying blowjob.

    Story starts out ok but it quicly starts to make less and less sense, MC is supposed to be a champion and save the world by fighting against a woman which uses the power of lust to create chaos, so far so good right.

    Then you meet up with a nun i guess you can call her, and she comes on to MC like crazy like shes already corrupted by lust? and shes the one that should be helping him.....then they talk about how he can fuck girls and create a harem....so again it sounds like the god of lust has already won the battle....and with everyone being perverts it kills the plot altogether and it makes for a really shitty story.

    MC then moves into a house with room for a harem and apprently your forced to accept any and all girls to live with you? and the first girl well maid you get is an old sex slave? i mean no thanks....not into sex slaves or whores of any kind but ofcause she will be forced on you....i just really hate forced LIs, why ruin a game to force players to be with someone they might hate? it makes no sense.

    I like how concent is a dead penalty for MC if he does anything without it, but for the player everything is forced....just idiotic....
    MC claims to be a normal guy with no wish to create a harem so i though great finaly you can pick and choose but no...its all about getting a harem and a forced one as well....and MC quickly change personalty to a pervert like everyone you meet in the game, its an extremly cringy game in every way, even in dialogs its a constant and i hope you love to read the word penis since its in almost every dialog with anyone.....and the constant talking to MC about him fucking people i just dont get it? i mean i dont want to touch Yuna and the nun constantly talks about MC fucking her....none of it makes any kind of sense and if try to pick a choice that sounds like you dont want to you lose trust point with your guide??? i mean wtf???

    Being a sandbox game its really the worst type, it gives you no freedom since your forced to follow a kinetic set story line meaning forced to progress with girls you have 0 interrest in which makes it just yet another fuckfest game with one turn-off after the other, like the nun i wouldent want to touch her with a 10ft pole, she acts like a full blown 2$ whore....but you got no say in that eiter.
    Add that to an insane grindfest even on normal, it just feels pointless and a waste of your time.

    The relationship/trust system feels idiotic, take the very first girl that trows her self at MC almost begging to suck him off and you still have to gain trust with her after first meeting....i mean why...
    I mean if you got a system then let the players choose who to be with or not to be with instend and have the main story follow its own questline, give people the freedom instend of forced LIs.

    Choices are idiotic in this game to, like i already said you cant say no to anyone, MC goes from normal to wanting to fuck everyone even the whore nun, some choices like with the nun "show tits" or "show pussy" thats it... where the fuck is the dont show me any damn thing since i couldent care less about fucking you.....its just an awfull game with an even more awfull writting so cringy you wont be able to play it for long.

    Ill give it 2 stars even though its more like a 1 star game, but it has some nice models and game would be great if you had choices but you dont.

    Great game, with hours of replay ability. Love the fact that their is actual story within this game, with a variety of girls that are all amazing. None of the girls feel stale, all orignal and interesting.

    I've read the thread and the reviews before starting with the game and decided to go with hard "difficulty" to get the most content out of it, as most negative comments were about the grind and how you miss content if you skip it. I skipped a lot of grind and basically defused the mood system using console and reading the extracted source code - that's how I played this game and how you should understand my review.

    As announced, I _am_ pissed because nobody acted on the promised shenanigans. -1 star, this left me unsatisfied.

    The minigames: partially very hard, but nothing more but a click fest. The moonstar scenes seem more like impossible, but maybe someone made it. I console'd my way through. I do not consider those fun in the current way, and substract -1 star again. If I were to improve them, I'd probably remove the time mechanic. Dunno if I would find a replacement for the "difficulty".

    The grind and the mood system: pointed out together, as I think they mix up badly. I wouldn't have a problem to collect wood (with the option to discover material without forwarding time and the jobs) and stuff, but at the same time I need to spend time with the girls (no _big_ problem either, but I'm busy!). And it's hard to keep track - I have seen games doing that better using less clicks to see your progress or what's next, it is tedious to click on the inventory to see the girls moods every day, check the heart screens for the next thing to do with them, if any, check the journal for the main quest... it's too much on my brain. Additionally, I need to repeat scenes - just for collectible pictures or will the scenes change? Heart main screen effectively says no progress to be made, but there's something to be done... and the proof of love tickets... and the profession... and wasn't there a card game? Almost gave up finding it again after the short introduction of a girl with an ugly face mask I've never seen afterwards. I was busy anyway. Very busy. And this busy _after_ adding a small function to reset all moods so I don't have to cope with angry girls.

    Pregnancy came up like something very annoying, as it blocked me from continuing with my quest _and_ the fetish collection. I spent multiple in-game days doing basically nothing in terms of progress. And adding pregnancy without the option to fuck pregnant girls? I mean, it's not my thing, but it felt like a rather useless feature.

    This reads like a lot of anger, but as in my first paragraph: I dealt with it, as I wanted to see what the game came up with. I saw a few interesting scenes and some talk about the things they might do and stayed until the end, just to get disappointed. But if it was _that_ bad, I would have just extracted the webp's and looked for the scenes I'm interested in (without any story background, this would have been a rather disappointing experience, though).

    There's a lot of story, well told - but as in many sandbox games, it doesn't align well enough. There's only so much time on a day, and I need more guidance than what I currently see in the user interface. There is a bunch of icons I almost never click on, space which could be used to show progress or resolve options to do next, maybe an in-game calendar/note style thing in your room (which you visit every day and see every morning, it would fit in nicely). I'd say put it in the already added calendar screen, but it would look crowded on a month view. Basically add a screen with "today's activities" and place it somewhere.

    4/5 if you delivered after all the efforts one would need to go through. If you delivered, hard mode would be acceptable - and I don't say you should hide content behind a grind wall, but if you do, make if obvious for both difficulties (like "you'll miss out: xyz", "hard mode reward: xyz") so I can actively change my mind what grind I can and want to endure. But I just went through all of this for nothing but a few useless achievements.

    [Rev @ Lust Age v0.13.0 Public]

    This isn't doing it for me.

    Art's fine, but uninspired.

    Writing annoys me. Scenario's fine and novel enough, but narrative is unclear and motivations all over the place. Characterization is at least attempted, but not particularly strong and in some cases just as muddled as the plot.

    Porn's pretty vanilla. The girls talk a good fight about orgies etc but there isn't enough girl/girl to be entertaining. Pregnancy causing all proceedings for all girls to grind to a halt for an ingame week can fuck right off. I do appreciate the ability to toggle watersports off, so I guess that'll null out the preggo gripe.

    I don't see any need or meaning for the RPG grindathon. Easy mode turns it off and still felt awkward and misplaced. The faux-sandbox linear presentation is annoying, as is the habit of randomly tying Girl X's progression to Girl Y's stats. Blend that with the pregnancy freezing plot progression as well as girl development plus the dialog from Manic Pixie Dream Girl about 'shoulda used protection!' and I can't tell if I'm being kinkshamed or just wasting my time.

    TLDR: 'Talks a good fight' seems to apply in more ways than one.

    Story 3/5 (until it turned into something like Pokemon with story being ignored)
    Sound 2/5 (only music no sound effects)
    Art 4/5
    Game Play 4/5 --> 1/5 (dev changed the entire game and what you are playing into some messed up Pokemon type crap)

    Dev ruined his own game by changing the entire premise for the story and what you was playing into something that is grind fest mess. Loved the game previously but had to drop it for what it became.

    SubspaceEmissary

    Pretty good game.

    Art style is good for the most part. Animations are quite good as well. Has consistent spank-bank material even during story heavy portions. Interesting characters. Creative story. Lots to like here.

    Now for the bad. Almost all of the characters are written in such a way that you can feel them being written by the same person. They all talk the same way, cave to the same pressures, make the same kind of jokes, etc. I like the characters, but this flaw is very obvious. The grinding for resources is not great, so I'm glad there is a difficulty option -- but you're penalized for using it. The game also bottlenecks quite a bit. You go from having a lot to do to very little to do very quickly (at least until you advance the storyline some more). This is relatively okay for the most part, but it's jarring when virtually every event occurs in the Morning. When things occur needs to be better balanced.

    Also, I'm not sure if I find it to be a flaw or hilarious, but the fact that they always refer to it as 'penis' no matter the context cracks me up. I don't know why it amuses me so much, but it does.

    Review for Lust Age [v0.10.0 Public] [Keisi]

    I really tried to be patient with game because there is a good one somewhere buried underneath all the things that are terrible about it.

    Let's start with the story.

    It's ok but nothing to write home about.
    You are the chosen one that has to create his harem to fight lust with love...

    Gameplay isn't that important to me.
    I played on easy mode... fuck grinding.
    It's a basic sandbox. If you have played one you have played them all.

    Standard KK animations and even some characters if I'm not mistaken.


    Now let's talk about the big problem this game has.

    The writing.

    It's abysmal. The MC is the worst. He is so bad if this were an NTR game he would be cucked even before I double-click the exe to even start the game.

    It seems the favourite words of the dev are penis and pervert. there is hardly a sentence without those word. At least use cock or dick...

    And on the matter of pervert....
    Dear dev... the game takes place in a valley where everybody is a pervert...
    Do you know what that means?
    Calling somebody a pervert in a valley of perverts means nothing.
    If everybody is a pervert no one is. :WeSmart:
    It's a word without meaning.

    I wish the dev would improve the games writing. That's the main problem this game has. It could be a solid four stars.


    To sum this up....

    If you like harem and can stand a terrible MC that gets embarrassed every 5 minutes, if you like the words penis and pervert then play it.

    Otherwise don't.

    I give this 2 stars because some of the girls are actually cute.

    praqueperguntas

    The game is fun. The writing is unfortunately very obviously done by a foreign speaker, and the scenes use a lot of default Koikatsu animations, but nonetheless, it's pretty nice. The regular dialogue is funny and the h dialogue is good enough. A little over the top sometimes, and the iffy English really shows in some of them, but I'd still recommend this above most of the other VNs in the community.

    Edit: The translation actually gets worse the further into the game you get, and near the end of the current version it becomes comically poor. If it doesn't get a little better, it might not be viable to continue. It has gone from arousing to flat-out funny, and that's not exactly what I look for in this type of game...

    If you're looking for a fun and kind of wholesome 18+ game to play, this is for sure the one! I love th emechanics of the game as well as the characters. The reactions that they have when something sexual comes up is hilarious! Hope there are more updates with even better features coming soon!

    joryh

    Initially I was all in. Girls are cute, tho MC is a bit of a dumbass with all his I nOt TrYiNg To FuCk EvErYoNe, even though that is what he's literally there for. The whole needing a fainting couch bit gets tiresome. Real fast. But I persisted. Cause the girls are cute.

    But the grind. The never ending, god awful grind. It's mind numbing. It's not so bad at first, cause there are only a few girls to grind stats on. But when the house starts to get full. Fuck me running. It's horrendous.
    And I was playing on NORMAL MODE. I can't even imagine the mind bleeding grind hard mode must be. So I quit.

    If you're the type who finds Asian grind games a fun time, this is for you. Maybe my problem is that the last cpl updates I was playing sober, so that made the grind more noticeable. But for me, it became to much.

    And ffs, sell this guy's fainting couch and, doth protesting to much, garbage.

    Maybe one day I'll come back to it, but I dunno.

    3 for the cute girls, especially the cat girl. Almost made it a fisting of 2 cause of the grind and MC doth protesting to much in search of his fainting couch.

    So far I've only played the tutorial but I already enjoy the characters as well as the world thats beem built. Very well done and can't wait for more.
    I also like the difficulty settings of the game though wished that easy didn't fully remove the majority of the mini games even if some can be annoying.

    MrHatIsHere

    I realized while I was playing that I was smiling widely and even laughing during a good number of the dialogues, so I figured I should take some time mention my opinion of this game.

    The gameplay and UI take some getting used to, there is a lot of exposition at the beginning, and some jokes are repeated a bit too often. But overall, the story is generally enjoyable, the grinding hasn't taken very long and occasionally has interesting gameplay elements, and I haven't really been lost as to what to do next (some of the instructions could be clearer, like better clarifying what needs to be leveled).

    If you like humorous adult games that you can just have fun with, you might want to give this a try.

    exif

    I like Koikatsu models and I like sandbox games with RPG mechanics, and the mascot girl was cute, so figured I'd give this a shot.

    Ultimately, I wasn't super impressed. The RPG mechanics seem like they have the potential to be decent, but as they exist now they're a bit weirdly balanced (especially in hard mode, which feels like a mess) and the UI is really tedious to interact with. While most of the girls are cute, the renders themselves are mediocre and characters' outfits seem to be put together completely randomly.

    The dialogue is by far the worst part of the game. Every conversation, and I mean every single conversation, has to include at least one tangent about a girl wanting to have sex with the MC. It's a porn game, I get it... but it's so excessive that it makes all of the dialogue feel repetitive and all of the girls seem the same. Meanwhile, the MC himself has absolutely zero charisma to warrant everyone immediately wanting to suck him off. He's more or less the standard clueless anime harem protagonist, but somehow even more boring.

    It's not irredeemably bad by any means, just aggressively mediocre. If the dialogue wasn't so unbearable and the sandbox mechanics tightened up a bit, I think this could be pretty decent.

    The game is pretty great, overall, with one glaring flaw (in my mind at least) GET THIS MAN A THESAURUS. While the grammar in general isn't perfect (I'm getting an ESL vibe from the writer, and if that's the case then they're doing a pretty good job), the thing that really gets me is that the medical terms for genitalia are always used. ALWAYS. Penis. Vagina. Breasts. No tits, dick, pussy, cock, or any of the dozens of other creative ways to refer to someone's junk (I'm not even sure if "boobs" is used or not.) "Penis" is not, inherently, a word that goes well with dirty talk. And yet, it is the only word that is used in reference to silver-hair's junk (which every girl brings up in almost every conversation, often multiple times.) Seriously, some sexy synonyms would improve the dirty talk enormously and stop breaking the immersion in this otherwise great game! It may just be me.

    I'm currently 6 or so hrs in and I'd like to say it has a solid foundation for a game of this style, maybe a few more "Easter egg" like clickavles in the background. I'm lookin forward to more, also some character sounds would bring it together well. I'd recommend LA because of its unique structure and diverse choices and decisions.

    I like the game, it has a great story and setting, as well as interesting RPG and girl interaction elements.
    I love the fact that it is available in Spanish since it is the language that I speak mainly.
    Plus I love the pregnancy fetish.
    I also really like the fact that they add several difficulty levels since then you can play on a hard difficulty if you want a challenge or easy if you want to enjoy the story.
    Very good luck with the game.

    Bingoogus

    This game extremely tedious. The dialogue is a non-stop tangent-fest, not a single sentence can go by without some kind of juvenile aside or a pointless comment. The girls are tropey, repeat themselves constantly, are defined by little more than their cock-thirst, and are regularly in denial of themselves.

    The game is an extreme grindfest with multiple stats all of which can only be increased at certain times of the day, often only a single time of day and usually that time is the only available time for multiple girls, so yeah, spend 2 to 4 weeks getting everyone up to the next level in their trust/love/lust stats.

    The MC is a complete loser. A nice guy who is such a dweeb all the horny girls have to basically force him to admit he actually wants to fuck them, for which half of them mock him when he finally admits it and the other half suddenly change their minds once he says 'ok, i'll fuck you'.

    This game drags out EVERYTHING, nothing is safe, from the dialogue to the stats to the sex content to the rewards always being just short of what you need, requiring repeat work shifts to get to the next item unlock.

    I do not recommend this game, i do not understand the glowing reviews, if anything i've written here sounds like a bad cup of tea for your tastes, trust me when i say you will not like this game.

    Played v0.8.6 partially

    If you're looking for a great sandbox style game this is it. There's plenty of content to get through at your own pace with nice attention to small details. All the girls are thirsty as hell, but this makes sense given the context of the game and the world. Instead the progression with each girl is more tied to learning about them and building trust, which is a refreshing take for me in these games.

    The only negative I could give really is the dialogue in the beginnning goes a little too far in establishing how yeah all these girls are mad for the dick and you're the prude grounding the situations and preventing things devolving into orgies 24/7. This isn't a bad thing at all it's just that at least at the start of the game its a little over done.

    In short its a really well done sandbox game that plays to the style's strengths with a nice wholesome and lewd feel.
