Ren'Py - No Mercy [0.804] [ZeratGames]

4/5 , actually enjoyed it , slow corruption feels right , and what can i say it's banger game, with minor issues. i think the scripts/dialogue has it's flaws , but how do you actually make it make sense, it's an incest game. anyway overall i think it's a good game. 4stars.

I was really tempted to only give 3 or even less stars because of the stupid trial and error point system that forces you to play a scene like a dozen times to check if you missed something because of some arbitrary conditions.

But .... ,there aren't many games that fully embrace the male dom/blackmail genre that also have decent graphic and writing that doesn't make your eyes(or ears?) bleed, and, ignoring the infuriating gameplay, I think the game actually does a pretty decent job at delivering that fantasy. The stepmom is also very attractive and not your typical DD Milf.

So if you're looking for that kind of game, I think it's definitely worth trying, and if the game focuses on the important things in the future instead of trying to annoy the player, the 4 stars are well deserved imo.

It's no masterpiece, but a game worth playing if you're interested in the kinks.

One thing that didn't affect my rating, but bothered me while playing:
I think the game makes much more sense if the main LI is your stepmom, I actually restarted the game because I made her the birth mom at first.
But if she's your stepmom the MC always calls her stepmom in dialogues and that just sounds extremely weird. So an option to decide how to call her and vice versa, independent from the actual relationship, would be very much appreciated.

Edit: I changed my rating to 3 stars. The gameplay with the achievements and points is so stupid, complicated and nonsensical while adding nothing of value to the game, it's just frustrating.

Renders: 4/5
Story: 1/5
Writing: 1/5
Lewd: 1/5

Well, it looked (visualy) very good in the beginning (Intro) and actually the models are realistic. This also means the artistic/lewd possibilities were not explored. The lightning of the scenes is nice.
And all that is accompanied by the most simple hillbilly logic/writing of dialog by far.
The dev should not bother offering different pseudo routes to the violent twisted abuse fantasy this project wants to deliver. It does not work and only angers pl like me who thought to be able to drive this in a more subtle submissive plot but always finds the actions unlogical and inconsistent to what is (badly) written in the dialog.
Final verdict: Nope TY

Graphics might be salvageable but the writing is horribly trash

This game is excellent, no doubt about it, top tier blackmail , cheating and sick romance combination

the characters, expecially the step mother or mom or whatever you input there, feels so damn real and alive

the settings and atmosphere music immerse you in this fiction making it alive for the player, it feels real , it feels hot, it feels sick

it feels fucking good to blackmail that whore, or that beauty, whatever you prefer, this game is top top top

i could say a lot of things more but the game is not completed yet, im awaiting a lot lot lot lot more!!! Thank you

Story is interesting, art is pretty and the concept is engaging. There's not many games I've played where the MC is just a sociopath level prick out for himself so it was a different change of pace. Negatives are mild but the English could sometimes be a little off, the mini games can go die in a fire and the animations are minimal. Overall I'd consider a good demo with strong promise.

It's a compelling corruption/domination game with a hint of incest. some useless minigame but the dialogs are great and the sex scenes are very exciting with sexy animation. Wich is a stong motivation for finding the more efficient options in dialoges and actions.
On of my favorites so far
sorry for my bad english

Story just dident make sense to me, you got a MC that finds out hes stepmom is cheating on hes dad, so MC goes stright to thinking he should be fucking her as well? so i guess he really hates hes father which makes me wonder why hes even living in hes dads house to begin with, hes a grown up ffs......

AND WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING IN THIS GAME? the hole freaking text in the game is in caps? why? its just another thing that adds to the annoyinig list.

Anyway then hole game is about trying to rape people starting with the stepmother and who ever else he wants to and you as the player controle fuck all, so if you hate someone or hate how they look MC will try to fuck em....plenty of choices but they dont really matter much other then how far you will be able to get with someone its pretty boring and bland.

The problem is it also fails at being a rape game sinice MC will get kicked in the balls or in the head by the stepmother all the time so for a rape game its lacking alot as well and feels like MC is a whimp trying to play tuff.

Maybe its due to the weird stat system that never shold have been in the game, it only adds to the annoyance level trying to figure out what to say to gain the right stats to see a scene, forcing alot of reloading which i just dont need in a porn game.....

Another thing i just hate in games is fake choices and this game as that as well, if you dont follow the choices dev wants you to, then it will break the 4th wall and starts telling you why you cant do something, like i picked kiss the step mother at one point and dev starts talking about game is called no mercy and theres no kissing scene? so why on earth would dev even make the choice for the player to click, when all it does is fuck up the game even more by adding shit people dont want in a game......

Also kinks and fetishes is also forced like footfetish and such and since LIs are forced as well it really just feels like a kinetic novel.

Then theres the mini games that i just couldent care less about, they are annoying and dosent add anything but wasting your time trying to get past them.

MC is also a drug dealer that beats up people that dosent pay on time, so hes a nut case really and dident really enjoy playing him.

The only thing decent is the animations they are pretty good and why i added one star for that.
As for the girls well Milfs since thats about all there is in the game, they look ok but i cant say i found they hot and if i had the chance i proberly wouldent pick the mother or aunt for a relationship.

Music is pretty standard tunes nothing special.

Hm.... how best to describe the AVN "No Mercy"? I think we all know there's only one way this review can be written, and that's to offer a proper homage to the dev.
THERE! THAT'S BETTER! WHAT'S THAT? YOU LOVE THE FACT THAT I'M WRITING IN ALL CAPS? THEN 'no mercy' IS THE GAME FOR YOU! BECAUSE IT'S ALL CAPS, ALL THE TIME!
I had planned to do the whole review in caps, but jesus that hurts my eyes, the same way playing this game did. Anyway, "No Mercy" is a game about a teenager/young man with all the confidence and attitude of someone with a micropenis who catches his father's wife cheating on his father.
Now, I think most people would feel pretty bad for their dad. Or, might be angry at their father's wife. But the micropenis MC? Nope! It's just an excuse to try and rape his father's wife (which happens - and I cannot emphasize enough that I picked the nonviolent choices) multiple times over the next few days.
I can see how shocked you are. Whoa! Sounds like another mentally ill MC, who should probably see a psychiatrist.
You don't have to tell me that! This MC is a legit psychopath. He is a small-time weed dealer who beats up his customers if they don't pay on time! Maybe should remind the dev that weed is legal in most places in the 21st century, and that even when it wasn't, no one beat anyone up over it. As if that wasn't silly enough, the mother of one of his customers offers to pay the MC to stop selling to her son, so the MC - you guessed it! - tries to blackmail/rape her, too!
Still, there are a lot of choices in this game, but... oh, wait. If you don 't pick the choice the dev wants, he literally breaks the fourth wall and lectures you for not making the correct decision. That's the mark of a high-quality, interactive story, right there!
Not good. DNF, and you likely will not, either.

Great game so far, really one of the good ones you must try.

Pros:

1. Great looking models
2. Animations are done very nicely, using stills for simple animations during non-critical moments is really nice.
3. Story is interesting enough, written well and structured well.

Cons:

1. Point system is bad, the dev keeps content away from the player when the player makes a choice that doesnt net enough points to unlock another scene later. This is completely stupid and just causes frustration with the player to reload and try again to get the correct amount of points for the better or more content.

As per last point, NEWSFLASH, 99.99% of people will opt for more content. Why create a system that blocks the player from experiencing that content. Maybe make it clear from the get-go, that there could be a love path and a lust path or maybe even something in between and then create unique scenes for each path so the player has some replay value to try other paths, instead of the current method.

I actually like the concept here. The idea of playing what is basically the bad guy is intriguing. I wouldn't mind seeing a seduction route, but I can appreciate this. I can even tolerate the lust/dom system. It's a bit stupid in my opinion, but eh, it is what it is. What I can't appreciate is the absolutely absurd mini games. This is coming off of trying another title with absolutely terrible mini games already so not helping my frustration already.

Dev, you do understand you've made an adult VN, yes? That means no one wants to stop jacking off to grab their keyboard to answer some stupid fucking questions. And could someone explain what the fuck the computer scene was for. What the actual fuck was anyone supposed to gleam from that trash factory? Anyway, you have a lot good ideas here. You should stick to dialogue being the main driving force behind this VN. Additionally, the Aunt should be slutty and wanting to get in the MC's pants. The fact that she starts out teasing him and doesn't immediately jump the MC's bones when he brings it up was actually a major disappoint. I literally did a double take on that nonsense.

The models are great, the story is decent, and the animations are top notch. In truth this would be a solid 4/5 for me if it weren't for the mini games. Those totally kill the flow. 5/5 if the dev can get rid of those and bring in a seduction route for the MC to use on the Step-mom. If you enjoy this VN do the dev a favor and contribute whenever you can. Keep in mind we're allowed to try these out on F95 for free. Be sure to leave a review letting the dev know what you like and what you didn't. As always I wish this dev all the best and hope they find their audience. Cheers.

So far it's a good game. No need to worry about NTR featured in the prologue it's that MC's mom cheat on his dad with another man (it's a small BJ scene). MC will see this and take a picture and blackmail her and will try to make her his and will succeed.

Good points

+ Good female models
+ Good pace

Neutral

* Writing
* Renders

Bad points

- crappy male models
- episodes are shorter

So far I enjoyed this and loved the pace of the game. Mom model and Tommy's mom model are pretty. If you like a game where you make girls fall for you with corruption and dominance you will love this. I will say give this one a try. No need to worry cause it don't have VN tag. It's not a sandbox game but it have few mini games with choices but it can be skipped. I will say give this one a try

Truly an amazing experience for every fan of blackmail, the models are really good and the scenes are very well done. The writing is good and is NOT the usual mindless slut mom submitting to the mc. I really hope to see more from the dev as with more content it could easily become one of the best in its category.

The dev in this game knows how to strongly stimulate eroticism. Character modeling is also great. However, non-intuitive puzzles and uncomfortable point systems need improvement.
If you refine it a little more, it will be a great game.

I think you did a really good job with the writing . This was the perfect balance for me between being eighter too submissive or horny . I find your writing to have a very good balance with the portrayal of the stepmother having many moments when she keeps snapping back to reality or tries to resist the protagonist . I also absolutely loved the side character . Keep doing what you are doing and please don't make the stepmom into a complete mindless sex slave like 99% of all the other games . 9/10 writing and 7.5/10 renders

If you a fan of blackmail and netori tags this game will be definitely for you! Mostly games with this tags nowadays have low quality. Some of them which can be called decent usually try to play by both sides (good/soft and bad/hard routes) and it is annoying because you should wait too long for your favorite route update. But as far as i see this game is different, there is decent graphic, lovely characters and a story that only revolves around these sweet tags!

This is my opinion right now in the start. I just hope that we will see regular updates and the stuff in the game will become only hotter. Will play every update from now on and will be back here after the game will end to give you my final thoughts.

I'd rate it 4 stars but it loses 3 for the 'puzzles'. They're pointless, you just have to guess at total which button click in which order. That isn't a matter of difficulty, it's random how long it will take someone. You could get it right by accident immediately.

I don't like games where you have to perfectly select precise answers in order to see as much as possible. Roleplaying gets thrown out the window and you end up loading back to change your answers, so literally everyone simply uses a walkthrough mod to deal with it. It's bad design with no benefits for the player.

The English could use a little work, but it's overall okay. The actual writing and premise, and the animations, and visuals in general, all I think are good, and the dev could have something great here if he'd simplify the whole thing. It's more work for no benefit to complicate it like this.

(v0.20) This is looking to be a great addition to the darker kink VNs.

Pros: An engaging story with a fairly plausible plot line. Not to mention, as others already have, some great models being used without being too over the top. At least for the main LI, the stepmom. Renders are quite well done (although I'm not real clear on why the foggy appearance in one of the later scenes). Music is decent. No sound effects but that's always been a non-issue for me personally as I typically find most sound effects annoying anyways. Lastly. Plenty of choices that do have an effect on the story along with the option to pass on any undesirable material.

Cons: I left choices for last on the pros because for this VN, the choices can actually be a con too. I like choices that direct the story one way or another but this dev uses the choices as gate keys rather than simple story pathing. And here, far too much material seems locked behind choices that are very unclear. Only way you'd reach a lot of said material is through either crazy dumb luck, a LOT of replaying, digging into the code, or the use of an external walkthrough. For me, that's not really ideal. Moving beyond the choice system, other cons would be the all too common oversized dick of the MP and the perhaps too short "chapters". Those latter two I recognize as being simply personal taste though.

So the pros definitely are outweighing the cons for me here. That said, I'll definitely be looking forward to future releases/chapters of this one!

Excellent game. Nice models and good scenes. I always praise creators who put evil choices without leading to game over or to bad endings plus the milf/taboo themes are awesome. I hope this VN continues and inspire more games like this.

The game is really hot and the female models are really good. Enjoyed all the scenes also. Good job dev, looking forward to seeing more.

Would be nice to see what achievements we missed in a menu or something with hints on how to get them if possible.

I find the game's theme intriguing and promising, even at this early stage. If the story continues to evolve and more female characters are drawn to the main character, it could make for a compelling narrative. However, it's important to steer clear of political correctness, as it may not align with the tone of an erotic game. Also keep up the good work!. Nova
