RPGM - Never Saint [v0.22.0 Public] [Saint Voice]

Reviewed as of .21

I had low expectation for this one so I was very surprised how well this one turned out. The art style is admittedly unpolished but there is a sense of obscenity that the artist is trying to capture that I find pretty refreshing. At least for the newer artwork. I suppose it is the mark of a game in long development that there is artwork so noticeably old that it bares almost no resemblance to the newer images. I won't hold it against this game since it's still being worked on but I do hope that they get redone in the artist's more refined style. Some artwork really surprised me with how much they ticked my boxes, especially when some of them are right next to the really amateurish images.

As for the writing, it's honestly a mixed bag. Sometimes I feel like the characters only serve the purpose to be a certain archetype or fetish which is fine but that kind of writing sets the tone that the dialog and everything between the sex scenes could be skipped inconsequentially. Thankfully there are some real genuine moments of characterization aside from just being horny for the sake of being horny. Reactions would change once you reached a certain relationship with characters whereas in other games you simply won't be able to do it. I especially liked Ashley's development.
What I think will really set this game apart from other dime-a-dozen dating sims will be the RPG system where you'll be able to battle and gain more and more perverted abilities to use. But aside from a painfully short introduction, none of this system has been implemented in this build. I was actually getting excited when the game started to open up and all the sudden I'm learning spells and combat techniques when I've been spending a couple hours doing the usual affection grind like most other dating sims. I hope whatever comes of that system really expands the world and what you can do in it.

I really like this game. Most times dating sims are barely games and just over complicated slide show galleries or video players but there is real potential to marry all of what I come for dating sims and RPGs in a neat package with my type of fetishes.

It's weird art style but yet somehow addictive, damn I love this game!

I have been following this game since the beginning and it's has its ups and downs if we talk about content quality but the dev always deliver new content, even the same dev don't call him self an artist just a accountant, so I will not ask for perfection.

In game mechanics the fighting system is just not finished so I'm not going to qualify that yet

In game content it's what this game does best, if we compare this game to 99% of other 2d games this game has the most animated content that I have seen.

bad script, ugly art, unrealistically disproportionate body proportions, bad exposure, depthless characters, meaningless easy sex...
The reason that brings us to f95 from porn videos containing 4k images of extraordinary beautiful women is; meaning.
In porn, we watch 2 people whose past and relationship we do not know make love. It does not contain any meaning and after a while it starts to get boring again and again.
Adult games allow us to get out of this boring cycle. With the unlimited potential it contains, adult games allow us to include many elements that we cannot include in the porn industry.

At this point, Never Saint fails to meet expectations.

Played one hour only to figure out that the developer didn't manage to implement a function to hide the interface during sex scenes, after 6 years of development.. just wow. No point in playing this game when all sex scenes are covered by giant text-boxes.

That being said, I also run into a huge bug that almost broke the game. I had to escape but the map was puzzled into weird pieces and I could walk over walls, rooftops, trees and other objects but invisible walls everywhere.

As someone who has also worked with the RPG maker, I wonder how somebody can mess up this much with such an easy engine. Things like this shouldn't exist 6 years into development.

This game have my 5 star,hope more update..
The story really nice..If more target women add,would be time killing game..Have improved from the older one,soo became nice artistic style..Good job for YOU who made this game..

Great storyline and the characters are hot and have their own unique personality. However, some characters are definitely loved more than others, as the mom has a lot of scenes (I ain't complaining) but the sister has way far fewer scenes, as well as many other characters. I can't wait to see the updates this game gets and I hope more characters get their time to shine!

Since I first played this, its been one of my top 3 porn games and its one of the only games I constantly check for updates on, both the animations and art are amazing and I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for some top tier gaming gooning material

last updates without some logic and all do for $, why game stay there? go on patron only
Yearly its have some reaseon to play and was done with some soul) now - its only for paid-user, i wanna support project, but not with this politic

It is an excellent promise, they have been developing this project for some time and apart from that they maintain the animations, the story is quite recurring but the variety with the type of characters gives it a touch.
I have been watching this project and I must say that I would like to see it finished for this phase, however I consider that each game is unique in its kind, I would hope that the developer would put more effort into releasing a more stable release with enough animations and more characters. 4.5/5

Art style this game,looking a bit weird at the first sight,like old cheap cartoons who am sure am not going watching them,but you go getting used to art style,and start liked it.But in all this game is freaking krazzyy.You gonna addict to this,that how much this game good.

DAMN, THIS IS HELLA GOOD!!!

I never expected the art-style animation to be this amazing.

My favorite character most of all is Angie she just has this dumb and innocent character that most doujin artists and game developers fail to see, let alone there's no tag line of such a character, so I'm glad that I finally found a game in which character fits the description.

I really liked the drawings, the map is well built and intuitive and the lighting is very good, the game is well optimized, I disagree with the creators with the minimum requirements of the game, I played with a much lower than the minimum and it did not affect the gameplay, now the story is regular but you can't ask for much in an adult game, I liked the animations a lot but I feel that there are more characters to exploit more

Horrible writing, early art is terrible. Artists need to learn women 3 holes below the waist, The anus, urethra and vagina. The game itself is barely functional and at this point should just be a VN. There is some potential but as of right now I don't have any faith *budum tsss* that the game will ever be good.

Pros:

Version 12 good character style and such.

a pretty decent artstyle and animations as well progression its easy enough so not biggy on this part.

Cons:

Pulls out the IMMA REBOOT MY GAME BECAUSE I FEEL ITS THE BEST TO FORGET ALL THE CURRENT CONTENT AND START OFF FROM SCRATCH SO GIVE ME MORE MONEY $$$ AND TIME TO GET TO CONTENT FROM PREVIOUS VERSION PLEASE =)

content got reworked from version 13 and 14. version 12 holds the good artstyle compared to the ugly one on version 13 and 14 nothing much to say but anyways that's how things are sadly how things work for this game maker.

Finally rebooting the game and making excuses just so the supporters keep blindly pledging for a game that have to be re-done from scratch on every single character which means more time spend and of course more MONEYYYYYYYYYYY because that is what its all about when comes to this kind of shady strategies but anyways the excuse for the reboot if not wrong was because of lacking of the performance on the engine and wanted to upgrade the UI and characters lmao and thats all what a pity state the game have become.

Feb 13th Edit review
~~~~~~~~~

Basically dev released on friday 11th a code update which removes at the moment Mescary and Ashley which will be added on future updates. and following by to be added in the next update: People from town Gaby (shop owner), girl in the locker room (school), the girl who sleeps with the window open, part of the intro (to be added), and Megan Update.

I'm still into the liking of Version 12 Mom sprites and character interaction when talking to her. but everyone can feel entitled to their own preference when comapring Version 12 Mom and Current Version Mom

Changed my review because i do have to admit that the dev have commitment and time spend on this game, which by the way he mentioned its IRL work and how it impacts the thing of splitting the time to invest into the game and compared to certain games that i'm not going to mention i do recognize that at least Saint_Voice periodically releasing content & updates for its game its pretty fair which actually makes it worth to give it a chance to follow its development due giving priority to their pledgers which is cool.

There's barely no story at the moment but it's the beggining so I can't complain about it.

The drawings are sometime nice, sometime very ugly. If I wasn't playing the game I wouldn't make the link beetween the character in one scene to another. Some stills seem streched. I don't like the drawing of the hero either.

I can see that there's a lot of ideas but none is completed or polished.

It can be a good game with some more work on the basis.

The scenes are really great, more so for the better versions, absolutely recommended, but not much of a great story and bad gameplay for a rpg, also wished the developer would update the first scenes too. I really wanted to play but I just went for the gallery but still worth playing

this game is excellent in history and art because the animations are very fluid and the story keeps you with a taste of wanting more that I loved !!!
the whole relationship with his family so far has pleased me a lot and I hope that the author delves deeper into this I hope that in the future there will be a scene with the protagonist's mother and sister, that would certainly make me happy.

Update 2022-07-13:
It's been over 18 months since I wrote my original review. This game seems to have gone absolutely no where in that time frame. Looks like they spent effort redoing the art (maybe?) which if true is a big mistake in my mind. Not because the art is horrible now, but because that is just a huge waste of time. Still can't fuck the sister (and most other characters), there are still "THIS WILL BE ADDED LATER" sex scene images, like... It's pretty obvious though... Regardless of reasoning, such little progress in 18months is why people pirate games. Because most devs and their games are shit.


Original Review (4 stars):
Art is good, animation is good, setting is okay, dialog is okay. If there were no cheats this would be a 3 star (because the game would be too grindy imo). If there was more content this would be a 5 star. The choice is yours, dev

Animations and artworks are perfect, but this game is so buggy, also the updates are so short we almost have the same amount of content we had last year. Updates fell more like small dlcs. the Dev lags on more content. the story is also all over the place it doesn't even feel real anymore.

One of the hottest games
Good artworks and animations. The story is fun. The milf are hot! <3
I want to see more of that!
I hope they will had a gallery and more story!
There are some bug to fix and maybe more secondary quest to add. But it still a great moment for me and my friend Dicky!
