ADRIFT - Completed - Pervert Action: Legacy [v2.0] [BBBen]

So I've played the first few days and I like the game. But to me, I feel like there is something missing and it's hard to place a finger on what that may be. I'll edit my review later after I've finished the game but for now, this is what I know or have been told. The characters are sexy and fun. Each is different both physically and personality-wise. Sex scenes are pretty good for a text-based game so double props for that. The game even has some voice acting and animation which just blows my mind. Considering I'm used to getting just plain old dull text and maybe if I'm lucky a decent nude pick. Combat is fun, I love the added UNDO option that is given. Makes the game more manageable. NTR is optional thank god cause I hate NTR. Don't get NTR, never will. I've read a lot of the reviews and a lot of ppl who gave this game 5 stars were big into NTR. I think that says something about this game. Either 1. that ppl who like NTR are biased about its quality due to it having NTR, 2. the game actually may have good NTR, (again wouldn't know, hate NTR with a burning passion) or 3. it does a good job playing to no matter what you fancy. I think it's more of the latter, although the game is not without its faults.

Now for the bad. The game is already pretty grindy. Thank god for the cheats, otherwise, I'd probably give up. Secondly, there is a plot hole that gets on my nerves. You are supposed to keep the maids virgins so they can help you defeat the big baddy. But Both Rio and Kim's mom are not virgins, and aren't helping fight the big baddy, but the game pretends like they are to basically cock block you from getting any vaginal sex in the game. Personally, I love vaginal, and I love pregnancy in games. This game only really offers anal because of some stupid rule about keeping virginities intact. I get it when it comes to the maids, but seriously, the mistress of the house has had a fucking kid, and ur trying to tell me having vaginal sex with her would forfeit my right to the house as master because I'd be taking her virginity. Seriously. In the Intro she tried to fuck you but is stopped by Rio because Rio knows she is trying to trick you into giving up the master position. When the game later explains why you were cock blocked at that moment, it does a piss poor job explaining why you can't have sex with her, She isn't a virgin damnit. Then you get the spell of cockblock cast on your nuts so No vaginal sex till the end game apparently. 3. Games MC is kind of annoying at times, let you figure out how on your own. 4. It kind of ties into number 1. to get the best endings you need to play the grindy game multiple times, or use a cheat i guess.

All in all the game is fun thus far though. And it is easy enough despite the grind and limited time to do things. So as of now the game is 4 out of 5 stars. I'll edit it once I've finished the game.

review:
+ somewhat interesting
+ girls do have their charm
- ADRIFT engine. it is like RAGS but even more shitty because they added a (bad) text parser like this is a dos game from the 1980s and made most stuff go through it. Including things that should not like combat. Dev justifies it with "this is a text game"... except it is a hybrid game containing both a gui and a text parser. Engine was abandoned halfway through this projects development. So there are some serious bugs that cannot be fixed due to being engine bugs.
- unreasonable mechanics. lust > 10 you lose 5%p love with every love with each interaction instead of gaining it. Even if the woman is already fucking you she will be disgusted by your creepy stupidity and lose love. masturbating takes 1/4 of a day and lowers lust by 15. having sex raises lust instead of lowering it. The game actually lies to you early on about this and you need to find out later about this lie. You can use focus potions to lower lust instead.
- MC is an idiot. you can not choose to not act like a moron.
- MC is a shrimp
- MC is a wuss
- very grindy.
- game wants you to replay it multiple times to make it even more grindy. You need to get 9 different endings (you can save scum the ending choice after the final boss is beaten. so you can get the code in 2 playthroughs if you know what you are doing) to get a code (one letter per ending) to unlock the "True Harem Ending" in your next playthrough. So at a minimum 3 entire playthroughs on an already grindy game. I only got through a single playthrough. Note that the ending picker is bugged and that it will sometimes not display endings you unlocked. so when save scumming the choice of ending you should try all numbers from 1 to 13. (for endsing you have not seen yet)
- implications that MC is in a coma and imagining the whole thing. which utterly saps my enjoyment and immersion
- annoying NTR pushing. You are offered money to whore out your girls every day after a certain point. can say no... repeatedly, every day, losing 5 love with Rio every time you say no, but gaining 5 love with the 3 main girls. Still annoying since love can not go over 100. so if girls and ryo are all at 100% love then you gain nothing and only lose. if you actually agree to be a cuck the game punishes you even more harshly, you get some worthless money and gain 5 love with rio but lose love with the 3 main girls. Mechanically you are harmed no matter what you choose, but cucks get harmed much more
+ despite its many flaws I still played it.
- I only played through one playthrough and could not stomach 2 more to get the True Harem ending.

hints:
1. do not click on the minimap to travel. it causes bugs if you encounter events.
2. if the game seems to get stuck during an animated sex scene you need to start smashing keyboard buttons while rapidly left clicking back and forth between animation and text boxes as it slowly advances through it step by step.
3. game lies about sex reducing lust. it raises lust. game lies about >10 lust being a possible bad result, it is 100% bad result if you try to discipline, chat, or compliment (the 3 actions that raise love). Instead what you should be doing is buying focus potions which reduce the MC's lust.
4. combat does not take up time. always do it twice a day, morning and afternoon. do it first before a scene triggers that does waste time. In combat you want to use "iku scan" (repeat it until success if it failed) to find out what the enemy weakspot is. then order one of the girls to attack it. hitting weakspot causes massive damage and also stuns the enemy for 1 round.
5. game says master is recommended to focus on 2 skill trees. not over specialized and not over diversified.
This is incorrect. you should raise all of them to 4 in a balanced manner.
then raise mouth to 10, then hand to 10, then eye to 10. then continue raising them in a balanced manner.
You raise stats through combat. see point 4.

mouth = cook, magic, chat, kiss, blowjob
eye = dusting, accurate attacks, compliment, strip, boobjob
hang = scrubbing, hitting hard, discipline, masturbate, handjob

girls "talent" are actually just their initial level distribution. They get a trivial 4 points initially so you can redesign them if you want.
You should probably get them to 4s all around before specializing. their default specs are:
Iku = mouth
Fumi = eye
Kimiko = hand

Harem Code:
L F A _ R _ R _ _

Endings:
number. name

I said it 2 or 3 years ago and I'll say it again "this was the GREATEST Adult Game that I have ever played! And Hiroshi might've been my all-time favorite character period." Years later and nothing in that statements changed!

For a Game Developer that wasn't particularly fond of NTR, this game had some of the best true Netorare that I've ever encountered in a game. It almost felt like some of the NTR could've been loosely based on some real-life sexual situations, (straigt outta the Reddit/Confessions) the way it was so expertly written. Very erotic scenes.

The game is hours of sexy fun. I played it over and over, and have come back to it at least twice per year since, and it never gets old IMO.

It doesn't feel like it was made by some kid trying to pass for an adult, but whose only experience in life revolves around school, or incest, or did I mention school, or incest at school, or lusting after their Mommy or that consider their Mommy dating "other" men ntr. This was an adult game made by an adult, for adults, that held to adult themes, to be enjoyed by ADULTS. And I loved it!

And the additional content after the ending was like your favorite DLC/expansion pack and gave us a few more hours in Hiroshi's depraved world. And although Timelapse is great don't get me wrong, even technically better in many aspects, I just can't enjoy that game as much with Hirai; compared to my enjoyment of Legacy with Hiroshi.

I think I definitely prefer my ntr with much older, gross, or fat creeps, where it doesn't feel so much like a competition of who's the better guy or whose more attractive; because that feels too realistic for me to enjoy the fantasy of ntr. Young handsome guys hitting on your lady is a real-life stressor, but in games and porn the fantasy for me is better when it's no real competition and the choice is out of the good guy's control. Where the protagonist can be super good-looking, hit the gym religiously, be ultra-fit, but loses his girl to a Hiroshi because there's something so Kinky between the girl and the aggressor/villain that's it's no longer about who's more good-looking or has the better conversation or knows the right things to say; whose more of a gentleman, who truly loves the woman more, or whose kooler, etc... (or even how many love points you scored following the conversation guide) because there's something just unusually KINKY or dare I say PERVERTED exposed within the woman where somewhere deep down they get-off more on the degenerate, creepy or physically repulsive guys fucking them.

The final depravity, seeing sweet little Iku pull the covers up over her and Hiroshi, on top of her screwing her missionary, with her legs up in the air and Iku actually giving in to the dirty old codger. That was sinfully pornographic, and just shamelessly lewd, even in a house full of debauchery. The vulgarity of wanton coitus with that lecherous old creep she claimed she couldn't stand, and getting fucked right in front of her handsome young lover. Finally giving in to her baser instincts and filthy steamy anal sex with some disgusting old wrinkly bastard, on top of her pumping; tongues intertwined, kissing. Completely ravished and defiled by some sleazy old bastard over the cool young dude sitting right there watching in disbelief, and cumming all over that geriatric cock! The debasement of being taken like that amid the moans and gasp that her young lover could hear, and fully surrendering to something so KIIINNKKY...

And for the naysayers, and those that believe that ntr or corruption games with dirty-old men are just completely ridiculous or "impossible" in real life, although I admit the chances are a lot less likely than a girl cheating with some stereo-typically good looking ladies man, I would still suggest for the doubters to head over to Cosmopolitanmagazine.com or just take a look at a Cosmo or read a few of the sexy confessions or the sexual advice columns from Savage-Love or the Love-Cast or to one day browse through a few of the articles on Vice or https://badgirlsbible.com/ where there are more women than a few making the confessions that they have fantasies of fat, or much older, and physically gross guys "seducing" them. And there are plenty of sex therapists, psychiatrists, etc that have written articles that reassure them it's a perfectly normal fantasy for women to have and a quite natural/ healthy sexual desire whether it remains a fantasy or they indulge in living out or acting on what turns them on. It's still all just healthy choices between consenting ADULTS. (Although some "fantasies" are always going to be at least initially perceived as somewhat Kinkier than others.)

But many women have fantasies of much older men, from their bosses to professors, fucking them or spanking them, etc... simply because it's taboo and goes against convention and societal norms; but for whatever reasons it's hot to them it's definitely Hot to me! And unlike catching Chris Hemsworth flirting with your wife or Trey Songz hitting on your lady where you might wonder if maybe she's enjoying this other dudes attraction to her because he's in better shape, better looking, wealthier, cooler, possibly better in bed, or maybe if I was wearing his same body spray/cologne, etc... In contrast to some callous old depraved lothario or fat greasy/otaku character, stealing the girl, where their mating dance really has nothing to do with the protagonist attributes, demeanor, social status, what type of car he drives, etc... (or even the all-important conversation choices) and really relies solely on the character or nature of the woman.

Plus I enjoyed the thoughtfulness that went into the Hiroshi scenarios and his conquest and so much of Hiroshi winning over the ladies' affections was his head games and his methodical breaking of his preys resistance to his sexual advances.

From the moment he stuck his foot in the door before Iku could push him out and close it, and the age-old trope of the super aggressive (never takes no) traveling salesman; the balding little old man felt both pervy and Bullish at the same time. Plus so much of Hiroshi's charm and prowess was cerebral and mentally erotic... And as a dirty old man, he was just FUN; from his pervy laugh and the SUPERB voice acting to his visual design to seeing Iku's lipstick and kisses all over his creepy, grinning face, to Everything about his character was imo EXEMPLARY and just really well done. PLUS he just always seemed to be having the time of his life...

Never any stress or tensing up when one of the girls went into the pool room with Hiroshi, just a sense of well "if" something happens it happens; but, I definitely want to watch through the peephole... I guess my point is where Hirai (our rival in Timelapse who's approx. the same age and similar in almost every other way) kept me uncomfortably on my toes, on guard, even lightweight tense hearing his name brought up, where I genuinely built up a well-earned dislike of him and "that bastard" even being in the game, it was exactly the opposite with Hiroshi and the only thing that was ever really stressful with our harem in Legacy was the monsters and preparing for the boss battle and end game. And that is why IMO among its MANY other merits, from the piano during the opening credits to the voice acting, to the beautiful renders and the graphics, etc ... Pervert Action Legacy is a MASTERPIECE in ADULT Gaming.

And Kudos to BBBen for all the little extra details like finding your girl's panties in Hiroshi's shack. That was Hot and I really appreciated all those little details.

And March 14, 2022...

Jackpot!

Just found out that there was Bonus Hiroshi NTR Comics and a few More Extra-Extra scenes and well first time I ever subscribed to a Patreon but if anybody deserved at least a "coffee" even before I found all these bonus and extras on his Patreon (& Discord) as I get ready for my first Play-through of 2022, well Tonight's the Night Dagnabbit!

And just read the BBBen post he was considering (albeit over a year ago) releasing one last Pervert Action Legacy/PAL release/a Version 2.1✨ And all I gotta say on that is PLEASEEEE Sir might we have some More...? Perhaps a few Hiroshi Endings/climax?

In Conclusion my final Take away:

FUN, SEXY, Erotic, Kinky; Hot babes, and plenty of them, Hot sex scenes, great choices, great dialog, well fleshed-out characters, the whole enchilada! 10 out of 10 stars for me!

An Amazing Hidden Gem.

Training Review 3/5: I honestly don't think I would of been able to beat the game the way it was ment to be beaten since I cheated with the stats however there really isn't enough time to actually train their stats Mouth/Eyes/Hands all together. I pretty much mained one of them for each stat which made them very glass cannon like and they still struggled fighting monsters because of it. Maybe it was my way of training or my gameplay style. It wasn't very good IMO.

Sex Scenes Review 4/5: Now there is 2 Parts to the inital "sex" when its really just Anal. First comes foreplay and then into sex. Which I don't mind however I did find myself stuck on what to do next. So I just constantly spam "Rub Pussy" "Rub Tits" "Kiss" and thats pretty much it until I got to part 2. However; There is alot of different scenes that amazed me because most eroge's don't have this much depth to it. so thats a HUGH PLUS for me.

NTR Review 4/5: There are some really good NTR scenes how ever they often feel lackluster because you don't really know whats happening or what actually makes them just want to fuck him other than he already fucked them once. It really doesn't make sense because YOU the master are not forcing them to fuck him afterwards. It would make more sense if they were no longer sexually satisifed with the MC or have them addicted to the "PASSION" potions that you gave them. (Which the developer thought of but cut it out.) Other than that, it was pretty good.

Story and Character 5/5: This guy really delievered the Characters personilties and brought life to them. There is one ending that got me feeling very emotional and just left me with a que Owen Wilson "WOW" moment. Totally baffled me.

Recommendation: If you like Training and Harem games with slight free will. You will enjoy this texted based game with its depth and story with the characters.

EDIT** Even with all my other rating it negative. It is a 5 solely based on the Characters and the sheer scenes in this game. It takes a little to get used to however it will be an experience.

NTR review
This game is mostly focused on its non NTR content and that content is great. The NTR stuff is good and hits at what I like. The main problem is there is no NTR ending. They make it seem like there will be more NTR with the girls saying they will keep cheating on you but thats when it stops.

Excellent game, tons of depth. Game has some sense of being an actual game rather than a VN. Story is somewhat intriguing.

Great NTR as well. Hidden gem. Author cares about character integrity and writes really fun characters. My favorite being Fumi

I can't believe I only found out about this game relatively recently. I don't review games often but this one, I'll have to make an exception for.
The plot is great, even though important pieces are only revealed after player reaches the "true" ending. The concept is both brilliant and unique. The girls have interesting personalities and I can't help but absolutely fall in love with Iku. And keep in mind that I rarely ever actually end up liking fictional characters.
One thing I should give extra credit for to BBBen is the sound design and I don't just mean the voice acting, which is great in itself (I swear I'll get the voice actress of Iku to play a character in my game eventually) but also the ambient sounds are very well done.

The only gripes I have is I wish there were more things to do in the main ending along with more options choose your own wife and the Adrift engine is sometimes a pain in the ass for all the freedom it grants the writers and the players.

Overall: 9.5/10 definitely worth checking out.

The game has lots of options to play with... If I have to say it's exactly what I have been looking for... Only negative thing about the game is that it doesn't have enough picturees/animations otherwise it's great... You should definitely try it out once.

The bad: The control system. You type shit in a box to make shit happen. Its a tedious process.

How training affects combat is pretty poorly explained, which is annoying since the finale is a stat check. Tying their stats to how you train them also means if you just have a particular fetish and keep spamming that option, you could just lose the final result for being too much of a coomer for a hentai game.

MC is kind of a wet blanket; he just sort of feels like he's 'there', vaguely existing, but not really adding much beyond being the dude we type shit to make do shit

Final boss is lame. No real identiy, boring design, just lame.

The good:
The girls are cute. Have varying personalities, all of which are likeable. 4 of them are maids. Maids are cute.

A lot of neat bonus content post-game, which includes the giant horse dick oral worship scenes, the entire reason I keep this installed.

NTR is entirely optional, with it being a result of you not telling the obvious creep to fuck off or drugging the girls you claim to care about enough to be annoyed at NTR. Although I think the latter just led to one scene anyways.

Overall, like >50% of my love for this game is just the horse dick thing, which is a bunch of bonus scenes in the post-game area, but I still think its really fucking good otherwise. If only it controlled better. Probably my favorite 3D VN style game

I had very high expectations, the base game is not bad at all, however, after trying to play for more than 1 hour I came to the conclusion that this game is very bad.

I tried playing and it keeps crashing, you need to make 2 clicks per 10 seconds or it just instantly crashes, the game is poorly coded, because if you dont have it full screen it wont properly fit in the screen.

Moreover, its so annoying to go through the game with north south like wtf? just make it wasd or something easier, also the introduction to the game is SO slow even if you skip the tutorial, so boring.

I have never rated a game lower than 5 stars yet but this one really deserves a star until the devs start giving out content and fixing this broken game.

Playing this games feels worse than a chore, didint make me feel aroused in the slightest, and imagine you have to get a little horny to fap ...lol, its more that I got super annoyed that people actually made such a bad game when you can use other engines to easily make the game more enjoyable, just use renpy or rpgm or anything, honestly.

Fantastic art with nice costumes and lighting. Amazing voice acting. Interesting story without having too much reading. Neat little puzzles and corruption mechanics. Some hidden scenes that are fun to find.

Just finished the game (fully). I really enjoy this game. Personally, i have never been a big fan of text based game. Actually, I always think that text based game is boring due to the lack of visual (CG) which can easily cause a drop in my interest with the game. I had my fair share of trying out text based games. However, I have only enjoy Strive for Power [Maverik] and this game. Additionally, I must admit that before playing this game, I did not expect much. However, I was surprised by the game mechanic; how interesting it was to move and interact with the surrounding. Also, the voice acting was pretty nice, I did not expect that at all. Overall, this game was indeed an eye opening, it's really change the way I perceive with text based game now.

p.s I honestly did not expect that there is this much CG for a Text Based game. Also, the final ending was such a nice turn of events. :heartcoveredeyes:

absolutely awesome game.
Some of the best writing I've come across in a Porn game ever. The 20 day time limit in no way detracts from the anything since you can sex up the girls whenever you want once you've "broken" them for lack of a better word. The engine format may put some potential players off, but it's very reminiscent of the earliest PC adult games I played in the 90's (Fuck Dodgers comes to mind) and forces the player to get creative.
Learning curve is a little steep, but with the hints and tips in this post alone, it's not too daunting a task.
And lastly, the replayability factor is definitely there. Multiple endings, easter eggs, diverse cast of honeys to seduce/bang, something for everyone or harem for greedy douchebags like myself. Oh & the schticky humor ... gotta love it. Iku's jokes from some lame 60's joke book are priceless. Thank you BBBen.

Totally amazing game, I really appreciate the autor the hard work he put into this. I've been plating it from time to time and I'll surely come back again! No idea why there is required more words. This game is simply amazing.

The game has good graphics and scenes. The problem is it's unbalanced. The main pc constantly gains lust when he gets any type of sex or see's something hot. This results in you needing to spend half of the games days showering to lower lust. Therefore, you miss out on lots of content and have to replay the game several times or use cheat engine to enjoy the game. If the lust gain was more evenly balanced this game would be quite good.

Played this game through twice and enjoyed it both times. First I did a normal run, then used the cheat to make it easier and faster. It's a pretty unique game, haven't seen any where you get to type your commands in like an old school text adventure ala Zork. On my second playthrough I got the 'true' ending and let me tell you, it won't disappoint. Let's just say that everything will make sense then. I highly recommend you play through the game at least once before using the cheat mode.

Best storyline in any game I’ve played. Massive reward for replaying to completion. Unique models, and clever as hell.

The creator knows (and lampoons) his genre well, while still making an erotic game.

Pervert Action Legacy is the third in the Pervert Action series, by BBBen, though as each of the games is standalone, you will miss very little by jumping right in to the game. It was my introduction to the series, and it is one of the best adult games ever made.

The CG in the game is passable, the art style is a bit more cartoonish than the norm as it is going for a CG Anime look, though it is still far more attractive in my opinion than say the Honey Select models that are often used for the same, there is a good variety of body types, from flat chested, to huge knockers, tall short, and everything in between.

What sets PAL apart from other games is first that it has much, much better writing on average than 95% of the porn games out there. It shown in the sex scenes, it shows in transitions, it shows in the jokes, it's everywhere. The characters are all specific archetypes, but they are all enjoyable to talk to, and the interactions between characters make them, and the world they inhabit feel a lot more alive than most.

The game has simple RPG mechanics, and a rudimentary combat system, the maids that you control get better as the game progresses, and you will fight harder and harder monsters in order to increase the main character's stats. These stats are important outside of combat as they will help you find hidden stuff, and in sex scenes you will get better results if your stats are high.

The adult content in the game takes a little while to appear, but not so long as to leave a player blue-balled, though there is one early scene to whet the player's appetite.

Fair warning though, the game is text based, and you need to type in commands, which is damned old fashioned but it allows for a lot of different ways to mess around, and allows for a lot of different options in the sex scenes, all of which are hot as hell.

Definitely check out this game!

I fell in love with this game. The story is interesting, meaning I could not stop playing it once i got started because I was so interested in what happens next. The characters are a bit shallow or better to say one notes. They all have a archetype and not much else. They have back stories which are interesting but it doesn't really get too deep. The game mechanics mixing fantasy and maid management actually works very well here. The character models are good but at times they hit the creepy dead eye doll look. The addition of music and voices do raise the marks for me. The voices are sporadic throughout which is weird though. If you have time to sit and figure out the ADRIFT commands I recommend spending time with this game.

Very enjoyable.

-A bit grindy at the beginning.
-Requires multiple play-throughs to complete all paths (I think this is a good thing)
-Art is pretty good
-Interactive sex scenes are great
-Finding the right commands can be a bit challenging, but once you figure it out, the game goes pretty smoothly.
