Ren'Py - Completed - Raven's Quest [v1.4] [PiXel Games]

awesome game,
one of the few, the text in which is interesting to read.
interesting side quests that complement the story of the characters
I miss several full-fledged endings based on the choice of the main character

The game for me personally is very middling.

The art style is cute and the dress up mechanics are quite in-depth
Yet the sexual scenes are just the same few images repeated over and over again with different text and the text itself (the story and characters) are decent, nothing special, but it kept me going to see more.

The real kicker that knocks my rating down a star is the combat, its absolutely brain dead which purpose is to do nothing but waste my time. Granted, i understand that this is made with a Ren'Py game engine, but if you want to use and engine designed for VNs to make a game with gameplay, i would recommend you not to do that.

If this was made as a simple VN or used a different engine, i could have easily given this 5/5.

This game is the best example of wasted potential of any H-game I've played.

The art is PHENOMENAL, everything is generally passable, the grindiness is not as bad as others similar to it.

BUT THERE'S LIKE ZERO H-CONTENT. What the heck?? If there were four times the CGs this would be a legendary game. As it stands, it's the best single or double fap game out there for those of us who are 2D CG only.

Fuckin hell. Take my 5 and shove it

EDIT: OKAY, I've come like 5 more times from this game and I'd like to revise my opinion. There is quite a bit more content than I thought, however again its mostly hot outfits, hot situations, and a measly parcel of (well drawn) CGs. SO FRUSTRATING. It's not even that this game wasted potential, it just didn't spend enough money to bring out its already-existing greatness. The game already exists. Just add CGs and it would be top tier. But that's not how H-game business models work, I suppose

Review of v1.4 public 3/5 stars
Pros:
Great art
Decent animation
Lots of outfit options
Sub/Dom scale is unique

Cons:
Not a lot of art to enjoy yet despite the length of the game
The same few animations are reused a lot for different scenarios
The combat doesn't really add to the experience
No gallery to rewatch scenes

I wish there was more variety in the actual images but the scenarios are really good. I'm also not sure if I was able to see everything since there is no gallery as far as I can tell. It seems pretty easy to miss content unless you click on literally everything multiple times and with different outfits. But overall great game. 4.5/5

Visually, the women look great, albeit the same cannot be said about men, who, with the exception of one character at act 2, appear identical, with identical genetalia.

It is a meme that people play these games for the story, but seriously, this game has a well-crafted story, with intermittent h-scene interactions. These interactions are sometimes key to unlocking further content to progress through the story, but some are optional, and are entirely up to the player to exploit/enjoy.

The overall UI was a little laggy for me at times, but I've yet to encounter a game-breaking bug. From the story, to the characters, to the h-scenes, everything was just perfect.

A seriously big thanks to the author for making this available for free.

Pretty dope.
Great art, plenty of fetishes (some of which hit home for me, personally), passable writing.
Though the game does struggle quite a bit with technical issues, as in my opinion Ren'Py was not the best choice to base this game on.
Nevertheless i enjoyed it thoroughly and would love to see the game be released to steam so that i can purchase it.

This game was pretty good. There is a good amount of situations, the story is consistent and there is a lot of clothe options. The battle system is not too challenging but it's not a problem.

My main issue is the lack of CG and animation. The animations were re-used all along the story and scenes.

But a good game overall with nice H-content.

While the art and sexy events of Raven's Quest are great, the overall gameplay is less than stellar. The combat, such as it is, is tedious and frankly not fun. The game is definitely at its best when it's a scene finder, though it would really help if there were something of a checklist in order to make sure you've caught everything.

[v1.2.0 Public]
Lot's of good content, but lacks gameplay balance (sometimes aspects reset to full, sometimes not, which could be a regional difficulty or tactical decision, but recharging them is way too bothersome to make it worth it ;

The prices are absolutely insane making it an incredibly tedious grind;

Gathering herbs can fail, which is the worst thing a game mechanic could have, not to mention the alchemy interface where the herbs are found (since not all places, even if affected by logic have herbs) or even how strong the potions are (weak, very weak and "better ones" progress locked);

needs in game descriptive gallery too, since there seems to be some clothing locked behind getting certain events (like all bath scenes) and with multiple ways to interact (enabled content, sub/dom approach, victory/defeat result) it's hard to keep track of what was experienced and what's missed.

In short: great visuals and vision, good selection of options and events, interesting combat system, that has bad balance and an awful economy and randomized outcome system that makes it a grind. Averaging out sort-of-good or above average - 3 stars / 5 .

Can you polish a turd - i guess you can.

This game wowed me from the start its Ui is great you can hardily tell its renpy

but thats about where the games greatness stops

The story is lack lustre

The game world seems bizarrely empty

The game is 99% repetitive placeholder cg's. for a games that's 3 years old its unforgivable. All the men are the same image just coloured differently even the alien race is just the same but coloured blue with a different haircut.

5 minutes in I was thinking this would be atop tier game. An hour in and I've deleted it. and ignored the thread.

I thought this game was abandoned. It's long awaited return is one of the best pieces of news I've ever seen. This game is nearly the pinnacle of the fantasy genre, and is one of the best looking and well written games I've ever come across. The herb thing is still tedious though.

Very entertaining with lots of good fetishes. Decent combat and progression system, even when this is not a priority. The costumes give good variety and alleviate the grinding. The game can improve with better sound effects or less place holder graphics, but as it is, its one of the better corruption/RPG games around.

Mechanically, Raven's quest is a simple, but great game. You have a lot of freedom of choice of how to play it, what fetishes you want to engage with, and sexy scenes. The issue here, is that the game is past 1.0 and yet is missing most of the porn that it seems to be built around delivering. Aside from three game over CGs, every encounter is shown through generic cut-ins that wear very thin over the course of the game. While it's nice to have these generic encounters around, there are plenty of major story and follower events that I'd expect to get some sort of special treatment yet they all use generic art too. Forgetting most of the porn part of the porn game is just too much of an oversight for me to consider Raven's Quest good.

this game is fantastic. The art is nice and attractive.

There are lots of interactions in this game, with different NPCs, with different events. Thus players are able to get abundant gaming experience.

the game covers a lot of fetishes. dom/sub, breeding, prostitution, public sex.....and also controversial ones: for example, bestiality. But guess what? you can skip them!

you also will obtain a lot of outfits, and customize your body with tattoos and piercing!

I can't say its story is epic, but it is interesting and reasonable. The game is not repetitive at all unless you choose to repeat it.

Great game. I love the MC design and all her outfits. The game lets you take on a submissive or a dominant personality which is a refreshing ability in the female protagonist genre. The kinks are plentiful but the majority of them are optional if certain ones aren't you cup of tea. The only downside is that the sex animations are pretty basic and repeat a lot. If you play lewd games for the scenes, maybe skip this one, but if you enjoy a more text based experience Raven's quest is for you and is one of the best female protagonist games out there.

I am absolutely in love with this game. Everything seems perfekt! i love the idea of pregnancy with chooseable beastiality content. another positive aspect is the random encounters and hot side events! Only two donwgrades are the short story line and the same never changing animation/sex scenes all the time. I cannot say how much i want this game to continue and expand. best regards.

Writing as of version 0.2.0

Promising game, with one outstanding feature: The main character is super cute, pretty and desirable. Her looks alone are worth one star.

-Pro:
- Plays very fast with quick dialogues
- Plenty of Sex scenes (but see below under Con)
- Game has got a fresh dynamic feeling
- Stats and combat are easy though smart
- And foremost: Art style and main character are very tasty

- Con:
- The sex scenes are mostly repetative (all blowjobs the same, all vaginal the same etc.). This is really a big drawback: Like 6 drawings are used over and over with new and different encounters.
- The sex scenes are not fullscreen but in a limited box, leaving out a lot of the bodies
- Getting money (needed for upgrades and potions) gets grindy

The game has potential due to its freshness and good looks. But needs a lot more content and art.

Any game that I play through more than one from start to finish gets a 5/5 in my book, loved every update so far and from what I can tell about the dev I doubt it'll drop any time in the near future.

If you're into going around and sluttin up for the greater good give this one a shot. If not try it anyway, it's a damn good game.
