Ren'Py - Lust Village [v0.85] [Mr.C]

I *strongly* suggest you don't touch this with a 10 foot pole.

It's just good enough to convince your idiotic horny brain that, this time, surely it'll be worth it. It has so much potential, and after wasting so many hours before, surely you're about to get something good... right?

Yeah, no. It's not worth it. It never is. You really want it to be, but... no. It's not even just the hideous amount of grinding. It's that, *plus* so many clicks to do anything. Actually, it's even more. It's all that, and a dearth of information that forces you to check every damned thing so slowly.

Best to just never think about it. Don't even try it.

If it's already gotten in your head, just decide you'll wait until somebody surely makes a massive walkthrough+cheat mod. With any luck, you'll wait out your memory and forget all about this thing.

Game has bugs and is hard to follow. The sandbox is rather busy on this one. The game looks ok but the writing is weak as hell. It felt way to grindy as well. The only thing I liked was the models of the girls. After trying this last update which I didn't even bother finishing I deleted it. Not worth it.

I surrender.
I tried to love this game. I'm pleased with the graphics, the sandbox, the corruption idea little by little... but man this goes from 100 to 150 hours of HORRENDOUS grinding and very few rewards along the game
Let's say you gather 150 points of love, 50 of corruption, 30 of obedience and 70 of whatever else (and you gather 5 paltry points from interaction , so this makes a total 10-15 pts a day AND THANK GOD!!!)
4 hours after, after grind and grind and grind it's not only that you haven't seen a single sex scene, it's that you even have received a goddamn bj nor seen a SINGLE BOOB
Jesus i still don't know how i could lost so many hours of my life in this game instead of studying a PhD or whatever the fucking else

4 years in the making for this mess. Too many LI's = too little sexual content which is the whole fucking point. The grind is ridiculous, you repeat scenes over and over until you reach a score high enough for something new to happen.

Navigation is a fucking mess, be ready to click 1000 times per game day to do anything. Hint system is a joke. Just not user friendly in the slightest.

I'm always so confused by devs who make games like this. Do you think artificially inflating playtime with inane grinding is fun? Do you play your own game and actually enjoy it? Is 4 years of development a reasonable time period to expect at the very least a handy or a blowie?

tl;dr: game sucks don't bother.

This is the first game I am reviewing. I want to say a few words: corptia is in the foreground here and I think it's something cool, I'm tired of regular sex and classic clothes, Mr.C has some great ideas, in my opinion Corruption and Lust Village are the best porn games in the world, because there are some actions you can't even think about. Now I want to take each part and do a little analysis on it:
-Graphics: from my point of view it's much better than Corruption, there are more animations that you can enjoy more

-The story: I liked the idea of the story in Corruption and in this wonderful game it continues, don't you think it's brilliant to manipulate the mind of any woman and do what you want with it, in Lust Village you do that little by little, it takes some patience to see all the scenes but it's really worth it

-Gamplay: I do not understand why other people have given a low rating to this game, I do not understand at all, the thing is that it takes a lot of patience and you have to understand the story very well, I wait to add more vulgar clothes, I would like something that really give me on spte in comapratie with corruption, it is a newer game so yes, I also have expectations is normal, so far I loved it and I'm sure it will be more and more interesting

The only thing that saddens me is the fact that a new version appears quite hard at least every 2 weeks or let's say at worst at least a bigger update once a month. Otherwise I have no words, keep it up Mr.C you are the best game creator ever

THE BEST GAME OF MY LIFE!

If you agree with me I would really appreciate it if you would give me a like

Good game, if not for a few major issues that ruin the experience:
1. There is way too much grind and if you cheat all you get is the end result without the stages in between, which makes the whole point of the game worthless in my opinion.
2. UI is really bad, almost garbage: getting anywhere takes a lot of clicks, to get back you have to also go step by step and you have to change locations constantly, there are no shortcuts, 90% of the game will be spent clicking through locations, there are no indicators who is where, "tips" in the game show only tips for the main story which takes just a few minutes to complete, the rest of the game has nothing.
3. You are allowed one action per a time slot in a location, you need around 80 actions to max out a single character (5 points per action, on special ocassions you get 10 points instead, but it's rare), after that one action NPC changes location so back to clicking through UI (see point 1 and 2).

Note that I've not maxed out any character because of how this game works, the one with the most progression was around 50-70 in all stats.

These 3 points make the experience tiring and it take hours to get anywhere with girls, unless the way this game plays is reworked I can't recommend it to anyone, it's just a waste of time as of v0.25.

One star for everything else, characters are good and overall idea is fine.

Actually Amazing, great graphics and well done corruption, though there is little content but hopefully more is added since the game is still new. I love Mr C as a developer and the corruption is at just the right speed
to keep me on the edge.

For as deep into development this game is, there isn't a ton of stuff going on.
It could be that I just haven't done enough to unlock other things, but seeing how I have all levels at least over 50 for the 3 girls that you can actually interact with, it's highly doubtful.
I gave this VN a 3 star rating because of the lack of things to do. The phone icon doesn't work, there is no quest list. You just get random drops that you have to do something, and then no guidance on how to go about completing said things.
Took me an in game week to figure out how to get a job to earn money.
You lose the ability to use the magic way to fast. Then everything else is under development. With all of the updates listed, there should be more content than what is there.
No way to level up anything but lust and massage with the MC. I understand that making VNs are difficult but at least put something more to this one.
I recommend getting the phone icon fixed, and then adding a guide to show us the way.
Good luck with this one. Hopefully things will improve with the next update.

I have tried an early version (0.10) post-rework.

There isn't much content yet, but the thing that liked the most of his other game (Corruption) is here, which is how the NPCs react to the same action under different corruption/love/etc. levels.

Also, your roommates and the landlady have bushes, and trimmed at it, which is a plus.

And apart from the bushes, the landlady blushes, which is cute.

Will definitely keep an eye on it. I just hope the developer doesn't start making xtreme changes like those horrendous pig nose-rings or whatever their name, and keep the girls armpits shaved.

The latest update (0.10) seems to be a significant improvement from the developers previous game. Not too much content yet but the groundwork for much more customizable corruption and better models is already in place

The current version is just a shell but the differences between this and his previous game "Corruption" are night and day. This feels like the natural evolution of "Corruption". If you liked that game you'll surely love this one once it gets more content.

So far seems OK, but needs further development to really see if it's worth the time and money. Game developer says that "'Lust Village' will be renewed and produced with a new engine. " (Jan 2022 Patreon Post) so not sure what that will do for original version saves / progress. The screenshots of the new family who are newly replaced by existing characters look promising, but I am more concerned about losing all previous progress in the original game version.

This game needs quite a bit of work before it is truly ready to play. Its mechanics are basic and its pretty grindy. Interactions are also very limited. The characters arent unattractive but its not fluid in progressing relationships.
