Ren'Py - Completed - Milfy City [v1.0e] [ICSTOR]

Nothing more I could say isn't already in the pages of the forums but I will expand on 2 stars IMO.
There was a time this game had real potential. That's gone. The game once had the possibility of being one of the greats in this emerging market. There is no chance of that now.
It is now dated graphics, not abandoned but as close as you can get to that without quite hitting it, with some shady issues around it, in a market of games that has moved on in quality and quantity of that quality.
I'll give it a 2, for memories of it long ago, but no higher.
It's below average now, across several ways you could rank an adult game, with every indication it can only get worse.

When this game was first released, it was one of the best. However, too much time has passed and, many games have surpassed it. It's outdated in renders, story, music, UI, animations, Etc. Given this game's infamously slow development speed, I can't really see why anyone supports it anymore.

I haven’t played Milf city despite the high ratings on f95 until recently, because of the „abandoned“ tag, which might have been deserved, after all this game was dead for 2 years. There was no point for me in bothering with a game, which will never be finished, I thought, no matter how many fans it has got.

With the surprising 0.7 update after 2 years, I gave it a try for the first time.

I’ll begin with the story, which isn’t reasonable. But let’s not forget this is a porn game and therefore standards are lower of course. It’s an incest game, yes I get it and so there is something supposed to happen. But still it’s not realistic how every female family member is willing to jump on the mc’s cock just like that and has got repressed feelings for him, who actually has got no special qualities at all. Some female family members struggle with their feelings a little bit during the game, but overall the incest just happens too fast and not in a reasonable, rational way.

The writing of the sex scenes and dirty talk is quite hot, though.

Characters feel different from each other and have their own personalities to some extent, but still all of them are lusting for the mc as soon as the game starts for no obvious reason. Additionally the mother and the oldest sister look quite similar, which of course is realistic from a biological standpoint, but overall there isn’t much diversity in the looks of the cast, except for the aunt and the younger sis. The aunt unfortunately is a lesbian, but still can be swayed into having sex with the mc, too. There is also the sociopathic female teacher, but she’s a black haired woman with large tits, too, just like the mom, older sis and bisexual-gf of your aunt. So apart from some side characters, 4 of the main girls are pretty much the same optical type.

Concerning the graphics, the renders and animations are good in my eyes. Sure it’s not state of the art, after all this game has been around for quite a long while now, but still the graphics are very much enjoyable.

Least but not last there is the gameplay, which is a sandbox open world. You’ll have to interact with the various characters at different times of the day in different locations in order to advance the story. There are also some mini games, which were somewhat annoying for my taste, but that’s just me and I know, that some enjoy mini games, others dislike them for being time-consuming, distracting from the plot and overall annoying. These mini games are easy to figure out, but I don’t enjoy these in general. Playing without a proper walkthrough you’ll have to do redundant tasks during the day in order to check various locations and new interaction possibilities in order to advance the story. Navigation in the town is ok, because of the map, but within buildings with lots of rooms it might be tedious. Overall the gameplay is mediocre. Some kind of quick navigation system is unfortunately lacking.

All in all this game deserves a 3,5 star rating, between 3 (average) and 4 (good) stars. Since I was able to enjoy the current content despite the shortcomings and I didn’t have a history with this game before like waiting 2 years for an update, I’m willing to give it the better rating, since in-between ratings aren’t possible.

Great renders and animations and no coding errors. Simple story with incest and most fetishes. Some gameplay with secret cards and tasks.
I get it. Most negative reviews come from the Dev's false promises and his constant excuses. But up to 0.5 it was absolutely the best.
People felt cheated out of a good fap. Linda and the rest of the girls are just beautiful.
Except that instead of taking 6 months for an update Icstor delivered 5 beauties and then realised he was not going to make that much income if he delivered too quickly especially as new patrons were pledging all the time. So he disappeared for a LONG time then promising a complete edition then turning back and updating in small doses so he can make/milk the maximum amount of cash from this.
I can't blame him nor can I condone his actions.
BUT as a game/VN, Milfy City is one hell of a GOOD FAP!

Losts of potential held back disastrous dev. This was once one of the greats, and I imagine it could have stayed there, but between a focus on characters most players didn't care too much about, the iffy story writing, and the glacial update rate I see nothing here but lost opportunity.

This game started development 3.5 years ago, and it's really showing it's age. Everything harkens back to the stone age of VNs; Psycho Nice Guy noodle-armed creep "18" y.o. MC? Check. Every female character inexplicably attracted to MC despite him having no redeemable qualities and no healthy relationships outside of his family? Check. Pointless open-world padding with very few actual choices? Check. Pointless busywork grind for money? Check.

The visuals, while still decent, are also dated, and somehow getting worse. Compare animations and renders from the early sections of the game to the current release (which took two years to produce) and quality, especially regarding animations, has been reduced. Oh BTW those two years produced around 400 renders, most modern devs seem to accomplish the same in an average month.

This might once have been considered good, but the world has moved on in the years and years and years since the dev has been dragging his feet. It's time for us all to move on as well.

it was the first game I played, initially I liked it, nice graphics and interesting story; then due to the long waiting times and the discovery of other games with better graphics, I gave up.

sorry for those who have been waiting for a long time, but not worth it

When it first came out 3 years ago, game had top quality renders and animations, it had a lot of content for 1st version so poor story and flat characters did not attract attention but as time goes on and new quality games arrived, this one badly aged without proper updates.

As for 0.7 version, it's still same game as it was in 2018 but now it's just has a bit more content, that's all. Dev didn't try to fresh out new sex scenes by using light, good dialogues or proper music, even animations are not top quality anymore, gameplay is boring.

In conclusion, it's not worth playing today (0.7 Version), u can watch animations in game folder and u won't miss anything at all.

Why is this story/game on the high rating chart, it's simple the animated sex scenes are longer ( although not that much compared to more quality games ), with more detail than the usual 2 second boring scenes you see in so many others. Players want sex scenes that seem at least a little realistic, not like this gives that quality in a higher degree. Have not seen any of these Story/games give a really good imitation of actual sex. No dev has gone to those lengths ( yet ). This one just added more time to the scenes, that is all.

There is very little story to the whole thing, as well as what story there is not being very interesting in the first place.

Now that so much time has passed ( we all know how much ), this story/game is now old and dated. Basically no effort has been done to improve the quality or make it more interesting, let alone additions to the story.

Overall Graphics - 4/10 although now those are dated. There are better out there.

Animations - 7/10 Have to give credit to that. Of course there is nothing really new. The Animations are longer and more detailed, not very short and unrealistic loops.

Story - 2/10 Nothing that grabs the emotions, or the attention of the player. This game cannot be graded on story that is for sure.

Writing - 3/10 the usual average writing style, no humor added, the writing is very dry and boring, nothing clever involved.

Everyone has their own opinion of this story/game wether good or bad. I see an old outdated game with only one quality the sex scene animation time. There are no other redeeming qualities, there are others out there that are far more interesting, with creators that put effort into making them so.
Effort being the key word.

Disclaimer: I didn't really follow the game for the last two years, so I can't really comment on the whole scam situation since I only heard people mention it a couple of times in other threads.
I do remember the amazing first release this game had three years ago. The quality and especially quantity for a first release was pretty much unheard of before and the game and the dev deserved all the praise back then, although even back then the quality of some aspects was certainly debatable.
Playing the game now however makes you realize that the game is actually not that good. Besides the animations and renders the game doesn't have much to offer. The story and writing arent't very good, the characters are pretty bland and the gameplay is annoying.
I would rate the game 3 stars since it does a decent/good enough job as a porn game but taking into account how little the game evolved since the first release all those years ago you can't really give more than one star.

This was the game that originally brought me to this site and I remember waiting excitedly for new updates, but I kept waiting, and waiting, and waiting and nothing ever came from it. This game is a ripoff, a scam, don't bother supporting ICSTOR on patreon because you will get next to nothing from it.
As for the game itself, I thought the renders were really good, the animation was smooth and it was all around pretty nice to look at.

The story is lackluster, I felt like it started off pretty strong but as you progress through it just becomes a mess of convoluted bullshit.

I didn't like the MC at all, he's just kind of an asshat the whole time especially with Caroline who I thought could have been a much more interesting character.

Overall the only thing worth your time here are the renders, grab a save file and fap away but don't bother with the actual game. To be honest since I've been on this site I've always thought the animations in this game were the best being offered, but after being here for 4? years I can't even give it that top spot for animations.

Pretty much abandoned. The content in the game is lackluster, the graphics are great but the new content seems shallow and forced like the Dev is trying their best to get the an update out with the least effort required.

So yeah,
Graphics/Renders 9/10
Story (at the start) 6-7/10
Story in general 2/10
Ammount of content 2/10


V0.71b

The only good thing about this game are the renders.
The story is convuluted due to dev wanting to do a sandbox game.
So much unnecessary clicking. For example in the latest update you are having fun with one of the LIs, and suddenly MC decides to go to the bathroom to clean yourself. And you have to click the way to there and back yourself, while you can do nothing else. And something like that happens a lot.

This is the 1st lewd VN I tried & it was definitely worth it. The character models are gorgeous(hell now Linda is my favourite MILF & I wish every MILF should be based on her) & I can see some models r based on other famous characters like Lara croft/Caroline & Cindy/Harlequin.
Pros:-
. Spectacular animations with specific attention given to facial expressions
. Breathtaking sex scenes(My "friend" said He came 10-12 times during 4-5h gameplay)
. Very entertaining story
. Memorable characters with each having their own interesting story lines that fleshes them out
. Enjoyable music
. Likeable MC
Cons:-(if u could call them that)
.Too simple plot (come on now who plays an adult VN for its mesmerising story)
. No sound during sex only music (some moaning here & there could've gone a long way)
. Lack of hints was a real pain in the arse cuz u really need a Walkthrough mod (recommend Lain mod) since some events can only be triggered only at a particular time at a particular place
.Abandoned issue-new characters are introduced but all r WIP. Hell even the story was starting to get really interesting in the end but also WIP. Leaves u kind of unsatisfied like after all the sexy foreplay your D is pulled out before u could C.
My favourite :-Caroline is the most most fleshed out & interesting character since unlike the mother & lil sis whose after MC dick from the getgo she was the only 1 who treated & saw him like a brother(At 1st). Her story was also heartwarming & any1 who saw it will say they r definitely meant for each other. I hope to see this Masterpiece finished some day

★ Hot sex scenes and adult animations (doesn't really get a chef's kiss, but it's definitely close)

+ CG and models are good-looking
+ Good amount of content and a variety of love interests in this game (possibly even a harem)
+ Treasure hunting feature for special photos/renders
+ O.K. implementation of grinding, everything is not handed on a silver plate but the workload is not on the Korean MMORPG level
+ Incest kink is optional for those who like/dislike it

- Story is meh, decent at best
- Writing lacks realism and pacing but it's focused on porn content so I'll let this slide; plot convenience galore
- Characters aren't that motivating to pursue outside of the want to bang; they have no substance and all quickly build the hots and horny for MC
- Production is all over the place (around a few years since the last update and dev doesn't really connect with his/her patreons)

Overall, I think this game really deserves 3.5 or 3.75 stars but let's settle with 4. Hopefully the dev(s) comes/come around and dish out updates for the Patrons' sakes.

Milfy City (as far as 0.6e goes, at least) is just an awesome game. It has several stories and plotlines, one for each girl, that you can follow according to your interests and tastes. Sure, there are no really meaningful options and you can't miss on the girls you're interested in, but that is made up with the fact that some of those stories and characters are pretty decent and interesting, and their actions are believable. It also has a decent amount of minigames and puzzles that make the gameplay interesting and varied.

As far as production goes, it's quality is second to none, with very high quality renders and all that. I've played with the music off, so I can't comment on that, but outside it, game is excellent.

Problem with the game is the development cycle which, unsurprisingly has earned it the abandoned tag. Yet the developer has been happy to keep getting money from the patreons without actually adding anything significant to the game in a long time.

All in all, the game does exactly and perfectly what it aims to do... while it was actually in development. But now it's an incomplete fragment of what it could have been. 8/10

Guys, let's be honest here - the game is so pumped of hype just because of the track record of the creator. It's overhyped.
Gameplay - absolutely empty life in the city with not many options where to click and what to do.
Characters - all ready to jump on your dick from second 1 and Ms.Celia turns out to be the only adequate person in the entire universe. Characters are just flat and you are not given any motivation on why they fall for the guy.
I was not a big fan of his previous games and avoided this one as much as I could. but seeing this game having the highest number of votes and views, I decided still to go for it. And it's first case of absolute madness of this platform and members to be so blinded by the absolute mediocrity behind a nice wrapping.

The industry of adult games has evolved so much in terms of quality of content and passion that new game-makers put into their amazing projects. This game is already the past. And let it be there..

This game is incredible but the lack of consistent updates is disappointing. Best character is Sara hands down and she gets the least love of anyone. Also what happened to pool girl from 0.0001? There was real untapped potential there

This is a review of 0.6e with Lain's Mod when Incest Patch is removed from the game folder.

It's a good prologue of the game. The women have different needs, Ceila wants dominance, Sara wants affection, and Linda wants to feel alive. Liza & Yazmin wants dominant energy to their lesbian marriage, Zuri & Suri want's money, Isla wants to be freed from a destructive cycle with her mom Sidra through the truth, and Caroline wants someone highly influential that can deal with the truth of sex, power and violence.

Realistically mc would be older in 1.0 (no idea about what happens in 1.0). In some sense, Ren'Py games are very similar in that each character in the game is a one-dimensional flavour. It is as if the Freudian analyst Lily has created a game out of psychanalytically true patterns of relating.

We were about to give this game a solid four, but we through writing this review realize that an average score of three is appropriate because ...

Haha, you'll have to figure that out yourself.

You know when somebody makes terrible joke, but everyone around you starts laughing, so you start wondering if you missed the punchline? This game is the punchline for me. After playing through the game twice, I honestly cannot see what all the hype is about.

The gameplay consists of clicking your way to different scenes. That's it. Now this could be interesting if the story branched in any way, or your selection of locations affected the story somehow, but it doesn't. You just need to click all over the map until you find the next piece of the story, and that's it.

Which brings us to the actual story. I'm assuming you've read the description, so I'm not gonna repeat it. The premise shows some promise, but the execution flops. The scenes with Ms. Celia, the driving force behind the entire plot, are honestly just dull and fail to justify the story.

The one silver lining in this game is that the sisters and mom are hot, which makes me wish that there was a lot of content involving them, but there isn't. Each girl has a handful of scenes, which isn't enough to justify the amount of grinding needed.

Overall, it's an overhyped, forgettable game that is either insanely overrated or just went over my head completely.
