VN - Ren'Py - Lusty Tail [v2.2.0] [Xetrift Studios]

I didn't try story mode, I tried sandbox mode and stopped at day ~5

Broken english (sentences where a word is missing for example) and broken images that won't load. Repetitive interractions with girls to build stats and then be able to go farther.
Very few backgrounds
Can't even change the name of the mc (It's "Xetrift Studios")

For now (v2.1.5) it's terrible, borderline unplayable.

Like others already sad. A cash grab.
And with AI art on top of that.
Poor story. An attempt to make it unique. With huge flop.
No build up from any perspective.
You don't know what you can do or what you look like or why you are the "step-brother" of Cana.
The best alternative is to look R34 pictures of Fairy Tale on the internet and you get a better experience, if you have a modicum of imagination.

The best possible outcome would be a cancelation and complete overhaul of the approach.
It should be a Novel and not a slideshow of AI art with nonsense text.

So I played the sandbox verision most and some of the story. It is more of a VN with choices than a game but I am not looking to play 4d chess or need a super enrapturing story for...what I want to "accomplish." The models look mostly like the anime but a couple of the characters are most busty but it isn't outrageously so and the anime both under and over endowed certain characters so it is an easy pass. But plenty of nude and sex scenes. No animations so I can't put it in 5 star range but it is solid for what it is. I know I am a minority in this aspect but some futa (that retains the Vagina) on mc (that looks like a normal in fit guy) and mc on futa would be appreciated in the future but that would probably piss off the trans supporters and the other side of omg I am afraid of my masculinity people.

Also, but I don't get the reviews saying there is no content. Sure some things are behind a paywall so yeah you will need to wait for everything or enjoy nude/lewd/sex scenes with multiple characters from the anime!

A game with great potential that ends up being compromised by hidden paid content and few truly accessible scenes. The writing has serious flaws, damaging the immersion.

The overall quality, between word bugs and scenes blocked behind sponsorship, makes the experience seem incomplete and less polished than expected for a parody.

Holy cash grab, Batman.

So when I leave reviews, I typically try to be fair in them, with constructive criticism in the hopes that my words are taken in that context and devs look at them and even give them some thought.

However, in this case, I feel it necessary to call this one out for its shameless attempt at making money. This is laziness to the extreme. Poor dialogue, poor story, boring, remade models, and the game is essentially locked behind paywalls.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one. There is no redemption.

Cheers,

Complete pile of garbage.
Game is unplayable because 90% of it is locked behind a paywall.
What is free is a complete grindfest, so still unplayable.
I don't mind AI art, It can be done good. But when AI is used just because it's the fastest way to get the game out there just to make money, scummy.

EDIT: I just saw that this developer has other games. And the game Lewd Souls is a 1:1 copy of this one in terms of mechanics and art. The only difference between them is the story. It's not Fairy girls anymore, it's Bleach girls. Even the developer notes are copy pasted. Completely shameless

Shameless cash grab if i've ever seen one

It's a scam. And the saddest thing, is that it's working with more than 1500 bucks each months for that guy.

Aside from the face, all the scenes are the same. Same bodies, same position, sometime even same dialogue. 80% of the option can't be selected, "soon available".

That's the kind of venture that make me lose faith in humanity... Or maybe will it incite me to launch a scammy patreon page aswell ? I mean, if one could make 1k5 / month with this... Why not me aswell I guess.

Honestly, I have no objection to the generated photos, but this is also a skill that requires some skill, but personally, the game is boring to me, because after clicking and with the skip button you have already unlocked everything, not to mention that you have to pay to be able to have all the content of the game, this is unacceptable for these games. I understand that the free version is one or two versions behind the one that the subs have access to, but doing what this girl does, for me personally, shows that he doesn't do it because he enjoys it and cares about the people who support him, but he only thinks about the money, which is ugly.

Another cash grab attempt from the dev. The dev isn't even trying anymore. You'd think after the last game they made, they would have learnt something.
Only saving grace are some of the girls look hot but even so the art is not that great and there are lot of inconsistencies.
