VN - Ren'Py - Lustful Voyage [v0.4] [Scallywag Games]

Rating: 3/5 for v0.4

To fully enjoy Lustful Voyage, you really need to lean into “porn logic”. Turn off your brain, ignore any expectation of logical character writing between routes, and just go along for the ride. With that in mind, here’s my review from a "porn logic" perspective.

Although the developers market this as a game where "you can choose NTR or not," the level of enjoyment for scenes feels very skewed. Lustful Voyage clearly caters more to NTR/sharing fans. If you’re not into that, the experience quite literally the "nice guys finish last, and they finish outside" type of deal.


Pros:

• Visuals and animation quality: Top-tier visuals, with stunning & down-to-earth LI models, a good-looking MC, and convincingly unattractive “ugly bastards” if that’s your thing.
• Choices are consistent, but in singular playthrough only to makes senses of it, either all-in for the NTR/Sharing or the opposite in one playthrough.

Cons:

• Unbalanced content enjoyment: NTR/sharing content rewarded more compared to alternative routes, even the NTR itself isn't as hot as it could've been.
• Lack of fulfilling scenes for MC: If you’re looking to play as a confident captain who gets to fully enjoy his LIs, this isn’t quite it.

Overall, Lustful Voyage might disappoint if you’re hoping for a power fantasy MC experience or well-built NTR scenes.
However, if you’re here for gorgeous renders, beautiful LI models, and smooth animations of ugly bastards fucking LIs with no expectation of any coherent narratives to fuel their motives; you're in for a treat.

This VN is personally a 3.5 stars for me, but I can see why people rate it higher because the "LIs" (feels too gracious a term, more like sex interests/SIs instead) and the sex scenes are really top notch, particularly the modelling and if you are an NTR fan respectively. However, the story is barely such, it's really just a means to get to all the scenes (the pirate setting is completely unrelated to how most of the characters even act), so if you don't care about that part, you'll be spoiled. You're thrust straight into a setting where most of the characters seem to know each other so there's relatively little character development going on, which leads into my main gripe, and I think the tipping factor for me rounding down to 3 instead of up to 4 stars.

The VN claims that the MC is in a relationship with Kayla, but considering he seems to show little regret whenever the player makes a choice to sleep around, it's hard to believe. I suppose it's easier to believe in a world where everyone is more than happy to just have sex whenever and wherever, considering how much the SIs throw themselves at the MC or others. The plot then kind of jumps the gun for me in the latest update, where now Kayla, upon being denied sex once, is more than happy to go have sex with someone else actively, and upon the MC almost stumbling onto them, continues to do so secretly. We're already operating on porn logic, so it's not that far a stretch, but it does feel like one step too far for me even within the context of the barebones characterisation. I'm no NTR hater (I play this game primarily for the NTR scenes) but it just felt off.

Being a pirate isn't some fanciful notion, some cosplay and fantasy event. Real pirates are cold, bloodthirsty killers who have no thought for anyone but themselves.
However, the protagonist, who absolutely fails to meet all of the perceived expectations of being a pirate, blackmails the captain to bring aboard all of his female admirers...the new generation of pirates!
I lost hope at this point...the pirate storyline is simply the backdrop for sexual shenanigans, and whilst I'm all for that, I was hoping for a deeper, more fulfilling experience...I came away a bit disappointed, it felt more like a soap opera...
Anyway, good luck to the developer...I hope your game is a great success!

One of the best ntr game.
But I think it will be better if the developer introduce bruching now (i.e. in this update Kayla and Ajit do the naughty stuff so in future only ajit event is triggered if she has already has sex with him or if its the first time then the dialogue should be different. But bruching and falling for someone make it more interesting.
But good work dev. I know its too much to ask as you involve lot of scenes in one update but please give update first.

Also I love Kayla and fisherman scenes most. Made long and steamy scenes between them if possible include Isabella too.

Really good vn so far, think Pirates of the Caribbean but porn.
The renders aren't top of the line but the girls look hot and animations are nice.

We have two or three paths depending on how you play.
- Hero superfucker or Harem.
- NTR or voyeur.
- A mix of both depending on what you want to do with some of the girls.

This is great for a game that has been in development just a few months. There is plenty of content already and updates don't take +1 year to come out either.

Version 0.4 Review
My rate would be 2.5/5 = 2

Lewds/animations are really good, no, they're absolutely fantastic - this s the strongest side of the game, very hot, sexy. I don't remember when was last time I fapped on pixels - but I definitely were close here to starting)

All other aspects of the game are just bad though - story, characters, dialogues...

I was attracted here by pirate theme, so, as a player who prefers story first - expected some meaningful story with believable characters. Wrong)
The "story" serves just for some transition between lewds here, nothing more.
There is no build-up in the game, hence all characters feel unnatural, they are not alive which takes away any immersion)
Relations between characters are not real. I mean MC and his GF Kayla - they feel more like fuck buddies to me, there is no affection between them.
MC jumps from LI to LI like there is no tomorrow) The same with GF.

Like for example your supposed to be loving/caring GF in 1 click (choice) makes full journey from faithful GF to fully corrupted cheating submissive slut. Yep, just like that - if you choose not to fuck her at night - she goes and fucks some dude, and even after you were looking after her she keeps fucking/sucking off.

When did it happen? - I mean this sudden change of heart - was she always corrupted like that?
During these moments you understand that characters are nothing more but mindless NPCs which kinda takes all thrill away.

Also- why making Kayla a GF in the 1st place? - To justify NTR?
I am not an expert - cause I am not a great fan of NTR in general, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that - simply making a char MC's official GF and then making her fuck some hobbo doesn't make it NTR lol, MC and GF never were in love to begin with - so why should I feel bad for any of them?
In general the game is more like same old "everybody fucks everybody" fuckfest.

In a matter of content I would say it's 60-40 in a favor of supposed to be NTR. Naturally story goes through NTR-route so from time to time you have to act to prevent it.

Anyways:
For vanilla players who look for some love/romantic story - nah, the game is not for you.
For players who look for some juicy lewds - yep, right up your alley, you won't regret it guaranteed.

Really good Netorare game. The only negative is that I think Tiffany is the best girl, and it seems like she has the least amount of scenes. I do think the corruption is a bit fast as well, but better that than it being super slow. Will be recommending this game over on r/Netorare.

This project is kinda interesting. I'll preface this with saying that I'm not really an NTR guy. Being a loser who gets cucked doesn't really have a particular appeal to me. However, I understand that some people get off to that kinda thing, so I'll do my best to give a fair review.

I think that this game is actually made more with people into NTR in mind. v0.2 introduced NTR, but v0.3 was when the bias was made abundantly clear. There are two big indicators: the sex scenes (no shit), but the bigger indicator is actually the story.

Story-wise, it's quite threadbare. It's actually so thin, that you realise that the majority of the male characters serve little to no purpose at all if they aren't in a sex scene. It's how I know the dev was more into the NTR despite not picking those choices initially. I noticed that in many ways it was like watching clips of a movie rather than the whole thing, it felt like there were gaps. I then went back and looked at the NTR posts (as I did with the previous versions), and there's just objectively more content, story and sex scenes.

This is an issue that a lot of games face when they try to do both NTR and I guess what I'll call the "normal" or "vanilla" route. In a lot of instances, NTR is effectively the default, and the normal route is secondary. There's multiple instances where when another character had sex, if it was avoided, the MC got nothing. Now, I'm sure some people would go "well obviously, it's not realistic!" as if literally anything about the game is realistic? Nothing about it makes sense. None of it is sensible.

The aforementioned sex scenes are good for both, however I'd argue the NTR ones have more time put into them. Obviously the additional writing may also help, but I saw an objectively greater amount of effort put into the NTR scenes than the vanilla ones, which felt a bit weird when you're meant to have MORE emotional connection with these characters as the MC?

For positives, the sex scenes are pretty good. The setting is more unique in the grand scheme, so it won't feel too repetitive, but unfortuantely the writing is quite trite and you will definitely see aspects in this that you'll see in a hundred other AVNs. There's not really a distinct voice to the AVN, which is a shame. It's not going to be memorable as some gamechanger like some other projects, but it's not bad by any means.

6/10 for people who aren't really into NTR like me, 7/10 for people who are.

Really like the game. The renders are excellent and plot so far seems decent. While the animations can be smoother, they aren't bad at all (just a nit pick). The nest part for me personally, was how the dev handled the NTR aspect. Didn't feel forced.
I for one really appreciate it. Many times developers just jam NTR scenes with no build up just to get to the scene.
Hopefully, the dev maintains the quality in future too. All the best.

I... don't understand how this game has such a high rating. The writing is poor in general, the dialogue during the sex scenes are especially porn-y and repetitive, and the setting stretches believability so far I'm left completely uninvested. In addition, seemingly every sex scene that doesn't include the MC, is with an old man. I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't.

These are without a doubt some of the best renders, animations, and women in any game ever, I'll be real, I skip most of the dialogue, but once you see the action you won't blame me for wanting to get right to it.

[Review of Lustful Voyage v0.3]
Lustful Voyage is probably the best game that ever snuck up on me, lost in the bowels of Latest Updates section of F95. Seriously, any fan of NTR or NTS must check out this game by Scallywag Games.

• MC is not a spineless beta male NOR is he ladies man, he is just a pirate sailing the high seas, enjoying the adventurous life of a seafarer. He is not a Gary Stu (the male version of the Mary Sue trope), but he is skilled enough to earn respect from his shipmates. A great "blank slate" to project your own morals onto, an underrated skill when it comes to NTR/NTS games.
• The LIs are gorgeous, diverse... and a bit lightheaded, but this is a forgivable offense since it also means the good stuff starts quickly, and the ride doesn't stop. You have a quasi-familial relationship with them, though you are not a perv that secretly wants to bed every single one of them (at least, not from the get-go) - the "family" is quite wholesome at the start, in fact, which makes the next part so great:
• You get to choose which LI you collect in your harem, or let fate run its course so that your crewmates can have some fun too. Almost like sharing booty after a successful raid, but quite literal booty. And throughout all of this, the MC is neither jealous nor possessive about the girls having fun with your mates - quite the opposite actually, as the MC sometimes even arranges/encourages these couplings. A real bro if you ask me.
  • A spicy little detail to mention: there aren't any magical, handwavy-bullshit methods of birth control at play here, so it looks like there might even be some little dudes/dudettes running around in the endings. Another point for wish fulfillment. Nothing confirmed, but a man can dream, ay?
• The plot is fairly simple, there's no big bad or great adventure that signals the proverbial end, so there is still room for growth in that department. Most importantly, it is not boring. You don't have to skip dialogue, since the dev doesn't bombard you with nonsensical narration about the world or the characters.

All of the above combined results in probably the best NTR/NTS games even in this early state, as the dev is actively engaging with the fans and talks about future content.

Absolutely decadent game, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in the NTR/sharing/NTS content!

The vanilla and youth theme is combined with impeccable rendering, good presentation and hot girls. I'm definitely in favor. I really like this type of game. This game was chosen very well in terms of environment and concept. This game makes me euphoric.

This game has a really strong start. Great renderings of attractive girls, an intriguing plot and a solid world-building. I also like MC. She definitely has potential and 2 ways to choose the top in the game

One of the better games coming out recently, lots of promise with great art and unique storyline bound to make an impact. I am pleasantly surprised with this writing and can't wait for more. Absolutely recommend it.

I have experienced this latest version and really feel extremely satisfied

The LIs are beautiful and you need to really use your brains and choices so that the girls don't get groped by ugly old men =))

The update time is also very fast. I will monitor more

High quality renders, interesting story, great looking characters, replayability. This feels like one of those rare games here that has absolutely nothing wrong and I pray the dev keeps up the current level of quality, it could easily be a top game in the AVN space given more time and content.

It's off to a rocky start and fans of black sails might have a few complaints.

The renders are pretty good with the models themselves being a bit plastic-like, which is worse when wet. The writing isn't terrible, some wrong your's and so on, but the plot at least has some thought behind it

There are a lot of drawbacks which hint at whats to come though. First the MC while not being a complete soy, looks like barbie and wears a womens corset, despite the other pirates dressing normally. MC also has a gf he has no choice in who is the most misshapen of the bunch, probably because the game mainly focuses on big tits - which seems confirmed when the only flirt/dont flirt choice is with the most unattractive character in the whole lineup.

There's also a child on board which is dumb and the mc despite being quartermaster shares his cabin at the start. Later the crew becomes 70% female and it's set up to be the least threatening pirate crew ever. In all interactions with the women, the choices are be a 'nice guy'(tm) or ntr, no neutral option.

The current version game ends with one more girl just throwing themselves at mc for no effort, the same as flashback scene. So it seems there wont be much plot or corruption

Edit: gave the next release a try and it's worse than i remember, so had to drop the score. The cuck MC wearing makeup and womens-theatre clothes and the constant attempts to force you into sharing and ntr make this an awful game for 99% of people who will come across it. It is a shame because a couple of the female models used are excellent

A Thrilling Adventure on the High Seas

I recently had the pleasure of diving into this immersive pirate-themed erotic game, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment you step aboard, you're thrust into a world of lust, corruption, and intrigue that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The game's protagonist is brilliantly crafted, balancing the challenges of maintaining relationships while fending off rivals in a competitive and seductive environment. The narrative is rich with drama and excitement, making every decision feel crucial and impactful.

One of the standout features is the clear marking of choices leading to NTR (Netorare). The use of red to denote these paths is not only a thoughtful inclusion but also enhances the player's control over the storyline, allowing for a tailored experience based on personal preferences.

The character development is top-notch, with each pirate and love interest bringing a unique dynamic to the plot. The interactions are steamy and filled with tension, keeping the romantic and erotic elements fresh and engaging throughout the game.

Visually, the game is stunning. The attention to detail in the character designs and settings brings the pirate world to life, creating an atmosphere that's both enchanting and dangerously alluring.

Overall, this game is a fantastic journey through the high seas of passion and power struggles. Whether you're navigating treacherous waters to protect your relationships or exploring new temptations, it promises a thrilling and satisfying adventure. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an erotic game that combines a gripping storyline with beautiful artwork and well-designed choices.

The game is very pleasant, the plot is interesting, beautiful female characters are made, the pirate world is normal, but I liked the content for NTR more, where gg looks at all the girls like their others on board or where else they fuck and the content for the Alma male is also excellent and pleasant
