VN - Ren'Py - Ravager [v5.2.0] [4MinuteWarning]

Story is quite neat, mechanics are good, although I would rather have less to track, or more chances to improve/grind them. Its a great game if you want to play a dark story being a literal dragon. There's also voice acting, that is quite hit or miss, quality varies a lot but its a neat addition.

Now, why 4 stars? Because the art.... or more like, the dissonance. You see, you have a very cute, anime art style when you do normal conversations, but for sex, it changes to a more, realistic, proportioned artstyle, and the difference is kinda... offputting? Liking a character in the dialogue just to see a quite different character when fucking it was odd. I hope we get an option for animesque sex and realistic portraits for dialogues one day.

This is something a bit original I guess, I mean I don't know too many games where you get to play as a dragon who gets to build a harem of elves, monster girls and humans.
Straight forward game with no long, drawn out conversations and dialogs. The art is really nice and hand drawn but what really puts the game over the top for me was the voice acting.
I would've given it a 4.5 if that was possible, the only draw back I see is that I would've liked the game play to be a little more interactive and that it feels like the game rushes forward a bit too much. I'm sure future updates will have more of a "sandlot" feel to it with more options to build up your base though.

I absolutely love Ravager, I can't get enough of it. And the dragon as MC thing is an interesting perspective change. I'm not sure how I feel about the week mechanic, it constrains exploration a little, but other than that, it's steamy and the world is interesting.

Wow! Wasn't sure I'd like this, but then found myself playing it for an entire evening. There's enough reviews already, so I'll keep it short: It's an awesome power fantasy, there's lots of choices and player freedom and lots of the scenes are just extremely hot. Love that you can be rough or gentle with the girls or even give them to your minions!

One of the most anticipated games in my list. By anticipated i mean i'll wait till it's completed. Played early version and it was amazing. Setting is good, protagonist character is not just blank dude. Drawing style is appealing, not too cartoonish and not too extreme. Variativity is what makes me attracted to this game, so much freedom

One of the best games out there. If you in for a story or the power trip you came to the right place. Never game made me feel like I was in charge and could do so much every turn of the way.
If you in for a quick "reward" there are a lot of 3d copy cutter games out there created with little to no effort.
Speaking of effort - DEV is busting on this one, couple of updates every month.
Art is great and getting better, story amazing, interface is good, music and sound - absolute perfection. 10/10 for me.

Vers 4.38
To be honest, this game could be one of the best games, but dev decided to make a poor game. Story is very good and has alot of potential but dev decideed to waste it. Animations are crap and rare and 1/5 , renders are rare and like 2010. And most important, no hint system but the choices are anti logical and without Walktrough no chance to see the best sceenes! A good game for 2012, but in 2022 to old and a waste of time b ecause 10 years behind the state of art.

For such a distinguished horndog as myself this game still surprised me with something new and even got me fully invested in the story and characters (mentally) and the project (financially). A great piece of work with so much more to come.

Very beautiful and attractive. The sound is not negative.
Lots of fun options with fun characters, and some instant miss, but few nudges. Statistics play a very important role, but there is no need to grind over it.
I never fully understood hypertrophy, so I can be on my own. However, when I sing "Up to the Ball" and that was impossible with the chosen art, I let go of my disbelief.
4/5 to Art 4.5 to writing.

Wonderful. Truly wonderful.

This is one of the best CYOAs I've ever played, even outside of the porn industry. For each character and event, you have multiple choices, all of which deciding the course of the story, and the fate of the characters around you.

The characters all have fleshed out personalities and interesting backstories. More importantly, these characters can interact with each other, showing us how the personalities mesh.

Artistically, the game has illustrations and voice acting for most scenes. The quality can be a bit hit or miss, but just the fact that they exist are already a step above most games in this genre. As the game evolves, I expect the quality of the art to improve.

Overall, if you like CYOAs and/or want to experience a power fantasy involving dragons, interesting characters, and promising art, you have to try this game out. Even if you don't, you'll probably like the game anyways.

The game is really unique and a true RPG as you can customize your experience to a great extent. I appreciate that this game doesn't try to punish or reward your morals too much. You never feel like the author is taking a moral high ground, at least not in a sense that he would punish you to go a certain way. Obviously it's very lewd as well and in my opinion most scenes are done quite well. The voice acting is probably one of the best in the genre right now.

Version Played: v4.3.7 Public
Time played: Roughly 3 hours. Saw two characters' "end of current content" notices. I reckon if you spend more time to see each character's path, you could easily hit triple the time I have here.

I don't know if I can add much to the discourse of a game with 130+ reviews at the time of writing, but in this review's brief period of time at the top, I hope it might offer some insight to someone on the fence.

First off, know that your playable character is a literal dragon. Not a dragon man, or a dragon with a human form or something vaguely humanoid, but an honest to goodness dragon. I don't know why I was thinking it wouldn't be, so I went all shocked Pikachu when it hit me. There's nothing wrong with that, and it's certainly unique, but now you know. In a way, it's a saving grace in light of all the extreme content due to its absurdity -- they play the whole dragon thing incredibly straight with flying and fire breathing and treasure hording, dragons also just happen to be really fucking horny for humanoid chicks too.

The setting and story are very cool, but what at first seems to be a very open-ended adventure actually reveals itself to be more limiting the more you play. There's a decent amount of "romanceable" (I use that word very loosely) ladies and they are overall well-written, but the inherent power inbalance can be take it or leave it. This is first and foremost a dark power fantasy so potential players should expect more dominance than sweet back and forths (though there are some lighter, sweeter moments if you do choose to play it that way). On that note, this game has some gnarly content. When you first boot it up, you are given a questionaire of what you are comfortable with. I kept everything on sans torture, but let it be known, the more you turn off the less content there is to see as there are no alternate scenes, just ones you opt into or out of. You can, of course, toggle what you want to see in the menu after you've made your initial choices.

Positives
+ Wholly unique and interesting setting
+ Good writing
+ Doesn't fuck around in terms of content: if you want some dark, depraved shit, you've got it
+ Voice acting if that's your thing (it's not really mine, but what's here is fairly well-done)

Negatives
- Character conversation bust ups are in a cutesy anime style, but the sexual scenes are in a much more realistic, fantasy style. To me, this disconnect was incredibly off-putting. I also generally found the anime art hotter (though far less detailed) than the sex scene art. YMMV.
- Really, really dark content. Depending on what you're into, this could be right up your alley and I've actually played a game that I found more off-putting, but I, personally, really needed to be in the right frame of mind to get into this.
- In spite of a seeming wealth of choices, there really aren't that many that dramatically change things overall and most fall into the same general pattern.
- Related to the above, the story doesn't really seem to go anywhere and, in spite of there being parameters and such that change and grow, nothing really seemed to make much of an impact. I bumbled around with little direction and sort of stumbled into completing some content. If you really like to dig deeply into a game, play it multiple times and unravel its secrets, this might be a positive for you, but I prefer my games a bit more cut and dry.

At the end of the day, in spite of what the numerous positive reviews might say, this game has some serious issues that potential players need to be OK with before diving in.
For my part, I did enjoy my time with the game and it left quite an impact on me with just how far it was willing to go. I don't think I could stomach a steady diet of this or games like it, but every now and again, this hits the spot.

Well. I've been playing .. some games on f95.
Most of which never made it out of alpha or started to get milk-farms after just a few months.
I'd say 95% for the latter, what a sad, cruel world.

There were games i liked, there were games i did not like. But only very few games ignited that.. That spark. A feeling i can only describe as a mix out of sheer interest and satisfication. Ravager does that.

While there is a good amount of content, not a ton tho, and while the artwork is really nice, yet no masterpiece and while the game offers some unique ways of playing and some actual choices that matter ..
Given all these points i conclude that Ravager is a game worth everyones while, looking for a good time.

So, why only 4/5 tho?
3 Years, that is the time this game's being worked at, and counting. Sure, it's basically a one-man-team, yet others did get a lot more done in a lot less time. I do hope, sincerely so, that this ain't end up as yet another farm. The developer has the chance to finish this project and then, as a renown man, start a project, for real. Money, renown and fame shall be given to every man not falling for patreons tricks- Or so the legend says, after all.

I'm eager to see where this is going, i'm a man of principle tho and i won't be sitting around for another 3 years to see this game being finished or, dumped. I'd really like to see this project succeed and blossom tho - Surprise us, 4MW, show us that Developers can be different in times like these.

Another game where I came for the porn but stayed for the story.
Amazing writing, unbelievably good for a porn game. The lore and story are incredibly consistent and feel very plausible. There's a certain level of verisimilitude you don't often see in games like this. Just the cosmology is very intuitive and makes very much sense once you learn about it, and the game presents it in a very interesting way. Honestly, it's riveting once you get into it.

Let me start of by saying that this is a truly excellent game and I can't recommend it enough. The base premise is really cool, the art ranges from good to great and it even has some decent voice acting! Also, don't be scared away if there are flavors that aren't for you in the tag list, the game gives you the option to disable just about all of them and on top of that you can still turn down any scene. Lastly, my favorite thing might actually be the "lore" or the setting. I love this game's take on dragons and how they're all male but can reproduce with multiple different species and how this can produce different kinds of offspring. If there's ever a lore compendium or codex feature I'll lose my shit! I'll be picking this up on Steam for sure, really excited to see what the future holds!

A unique dragon protagonist roaming through the world, his decisions limited only by his own strength. Choosing if he wishes to capture and ravish every beautiful woman he finds, or to treat them kindly. Finding a lair, building a base of operations, recruiting minions, growing in power -- all great. Every decision is impactful, every choice real, it's truly a great game with a great story.

The sexual content is amazing for its niche, the things you can choose to do are hot as Hell. Every scene is well written, the characters unique and appealing.

I wish I could give the game a 10/10, but the scene art...

Truly, Lubbio's art style is just a massive no for me. Angular, masculine faces on women is a turn off, and while I understand some people like the thickly proportioned body art that's also not my thing. It's a shame, because the content is Chef's Kiss (even supported on Patreon for a while) but at the end of the day a porn game with scene art that's actively unattractive is well... counterproductive. As harsh as it sounds, giving full honesty, some if not most of the scenes are sexier as just text without the art.

The portrait art (for now) is much more appealing. Really, the portrait style what I'm imagining the character's appearance to be in place of the scene art.

It seems some other people aren't a big fan of the art style as well (and that's the people who actually played and are willing to type about it). I'm sure many more simply took one look, decided the art was not their style, and moved on without bothering.

I wish them success nonetheless, but they'd probably have a lot more of it if they went a different direction with the artstyle. I'm drawn back to the game myself in spite of my feelings about the art because in all other aspects it's perfect.

One of the strangest, most entertaining and best porn games I have played in a long time. The premise is unique, the art is pretty, the writing fantastic and the extra mile that the developers take to include voice acting is appreciated.

v4.3.6 Public

Ravager was a truly excellent VN. You play a newly hatched dragon, and there are a lot of different choices that help shape the way the story goes and what kind of character you are. You can be honorable and merciful or cruel and monstrous and both are as well written and satisfying. The game has great art and animations, and has well done voice acting as well. The music is also really good. A real stand out in terms of quality and gameplay. It's a new favorite.

Amazing game. Well paced, excellent sex scenes, and plenty of content, It even has pretty decent VAs for a porn game. Instant classic for me. I think it could use more pregnancy content as that's my personal favorite, but I will definitely be buying it once I can get it for less than $10.

What an experience. This is not exactly my type of game, I'm not into dragons or monsters at all and yet, with this absolutely fantastic writing, great storytelling, compelling situations and really fun world to explore, and this amazing voice acting, I can't help but be enchanted by this game. Its so good, and not just as an adult game, but a solid game in general with really spicy stuff that you can toggle as well. Excellent and looking forward to more.
