VN - Ren'Py - Realm Invader [Ep. 2 P1] [Invader Gary]

this game has some really good humour and jokes and its partially cringe but very funny and i very much enjoyed the so far released chapters. The Animations are well enought made ... better than some Tripple AAA studios.
Consider trying it.

With deep regret and even deeper blue balls, I have to say that while this game is masterfully executed, the number of lewd scenes here is so criminally low, it made me question whether I was even playing an adult game. The writing is extremely witty and funny and I'd recommend playing the game just for that. Just make sure you know what you're getting into.
I spent 7 hours playing it and there were only 3(!) lewd scenes. Granted, they were very well done, it's still a travesty.
It's 9 AM now and I have to go to work sleep-deprived and nut-deprived.

Holy shit this game is amazingly funny. Its kinda like the Eternium style.

Main character cracks me up, the LI's are all great. The models don't really seem to be unique, but that's okay. I've been laughing out loud while playing. Normally I don't have audio while I play, butI did for this one and don't regret it at all. Adds so much to the experience.

Wow, this game is very unique. I've not really seen anything like it, and it is easily one of the best games on this site.

I was a little shocked by the combination of this game's tone and its slow burn nature. Not usually the combo with a comedy romp. Usually the MC is knee deep in pussy like five seconds in. This is by no means a bad thing. I'm super hyped for a comedy with deep relationships with the LIs and a slower build up towards sex. It was just a little jarring at first to fill out the scene gallery and realize there is no sex yet, but once you see the direction this game is going it becomes a non-issue (as long as you're not looking for a quick fap).

If you're looking for a quick fap, despite many other games with a similar comedy tone, this game is not for you. It is a deep slow burn. That said, there is a lot of teasing content so far, and it is quite possibly the best animation I've seen on this site, hands down. Normally teasing scenes for me are hot, but don't get me going sexually, but the animations here are just that good. Even the non-lewd animations are incredible. I'm pretty flabbergasted that the dev is new, and has never animated before, and has no help with this.

I think every single review of this game is enough to prove that how banger it is. Just take my 5s rating and keep this beauty alive. Thanks for your hard work
Now my fav beside Eternum has a place, its name Realm Invader

Holy shit, good as hell! good work. Excellent writing, humor and romance!
just improve the models and should be excellent!

Time of the review: Episode 02 - Part 01

I think this game has the potential to become one of the greats in this genre. If you played and liked Eternum, you will like this one as well, as it is definitely on a similar level in terms of quality.

The dev uses the Honey Select Engine and animations to its fullest. I can not remember any game, that actually bothered to animate anything outside of maybe some sex scenes. Here we have a dev, who actually puts in effort and animates just some random scenes during the story, which adds quite a lot to immersion, and it just is nice to see. Also, I obviously always appreciate when devs do not just use the standard, pre-made, sex scenes that come with Honey Select but actually create their own.

The humour is exactly what I like (it's been a while I actually laughed out loud playing a porn game), but this is highly subjective and, depending on what you want, could also turn off a few people. It is very "anime-y" in feel and execution.

Sound and music seem fine, not much out of the ordinary, but tbh. I see that as a plus, as usually the biggest sin of these games is to not add any music or sound at all.

I definitely will follow the dev and hope he keeps at it with this quality, if you can spare the few bucks, I can just encourage people to support their endeavours.

I think I never laughed that much playing a VN, it's such a dumb slapstick humor that works perfectly with the sound effects, it reminds me of Grand Blue in a way. It's a must to play with sound on.

The renders are about average tbh, there is some really pretty ones but also others with lighting issues that make the skin tones and face complexions kinda weird. However there is a clear evolution in render quality as the game progresses so kudos to that.

Animation wise is something else entirely, plenty of high quality ones that complement the sexy and humorous scenes really well. Speaking of sexy, the lewd scenes are well crafted with tension, dialogues, music and the animations working together in it's favor.

The plot itself is very tropey, and, so far, didn't develop enough to differentiate itself from other games, besides the geat humour. The cast is diverse and lovable, if you're into the wholesome vanilla romance with your 'landlady and roomates' there is lot to like here.

Can't wait enough for the next update and specially more content with Grace! The best of wishes to the dev.

Excellent game with great humor, love the animations, love the characters.
Nothing bad to say about the game.
The updates do take quite some time to come but this doesn't make the game worse. (Looking forward to the next updates!)

Loved this game. The scenes where developer appeared was pure gold in my opinion (just my type of humor). It's really creative and should get more traction than it currently has, but seeing how rarely updates are coming out it just don't have enough exposure. Really hope developer will continue to carve this gem into a rightful masterpiece it can be.

This game slaps harder than Chun Li''s thunder thighs as she walks. Hilariously well done and lovable characters, a pretty damn interesting plot, environment at times can be better rendered (really just the house at certain scenes but overall fine), but character models are chef's kiss. Also I gotta applaud with Chloe and Grace. I am for one not into petite women that often, but holy hell is she just adorable. GRACE THOUGH GODDAMN! Let it be known muscle women ain't my type either but DAYUM. Her character model is exquisite but not just that her personality is out of this world! Her and MC's banter is just so damn perfect and hilarious, combined with how down atrocious she is for said MC is peak upon peak.

With that long yap session about me gushing over. This game gets an easy 4.5/5. Literally just wish the game was longer with more content for the girls.

*A review of EP2 P1 version

Pros:

- Story. Honestly, I didn't expect much, I mean, MC lives with his mom and his sisters...not smth original. The more surprised I was - the plot is captivating, unique, it makes you wanting to see more and more.

- Characters. Well written characters each with their own personality, everybody is intriguing in their own way. I also liked how they were introduced at the start.

- Audio. Music/Audio really helps to create the atmosphere during some scenes. For each scene Dev mannaged to select a suitable audio.

- Humor. A lot of hilarious moments through out the game, though sometimes it goes overboard if you ask me, but most part of the game it's fantastic

- Writing. Dialogues are very good, while reading them you actually believe that characters are alive.

Cons (few thing that actually bothered me in a game):

1) I played quite a few HS games and I know that I shouldn't expect super realistic graphics from it, but there were at least few renders that caught my attention - on this renders MC's hands were too small, like child's ones, that was off putting to say the least. I never actually paid attention to such details in HS games and the fact that I noticed it here says a lot.

2) Humor is great, but when it goes overboard it stopes being funny and starts getting annoying, like MC's hatred towards kids, I mean - I got that he doesn't like them after first scene, but to some moment game just kept focusing on that, or the scene with thugs and their names, of course it's subjective, but personally I would like there to be some kind of balance.

3) I found lewds extremely long and boring, I dunno, maybe it's because I am more into the story than erotic part of the game, but - too many unnecessarily dialogues during the scenes, internal thoughts of MC, add to this also endless comments from Narrator and here we are, I skipped through last Cadence lewd scene, at least last part of it

4) At some moment the whole Stella's storyline became boring, Uni tour and cinema scene and scenes in between, this trope of naive/shy girl is so overused, after reading how embarrassed she is with MC - even I started feeling embarrassed while reading it at some moment hence I skipped through some dialogues with her which is very very rare for me, later it became better though, good that I didn't close her path.

Anyways despite a few things here and there in general I enjoyed the game very much, I definitely didn't expect the game to be so... captivating.
I would give it 4.5/5 = 5 stars.
Looking forward to new updates.

This is a gem, great game. Probably too much animation but everything is done at a very high quality. Story is interesting and unique, this is a plot based game. Characters are well written, MC doesnt have a horse cock, and there is a good amount of player choice. One of the better games out there

This game is absolutely incredible, and it has a shocking amount of content for only 2 episodes.

The Writing: I'll be clear and say I rarely play these games for the plot. I'm normally much more interested in "the plot". But the writing in this game is genuinely compelling. Most notably for me, the humor is spot on in this game, which is such a rarity for me. I normally find that humor in adult games miss far more often than they hit. They are often cringy or dated, and so on. But I laughed out loud probably like a dozen times while playing Realm Invader. On top of that, the characters are lovable and fun, the story and world are interesting, etc. It's just great overall

The Visuals: Wow, the animation in this game is incredible. Seriously, even visual gags in this game are animated with more care than most other games' sex scenes. The sex is hot, the action is engaging, the lighting is great, and the models are all varied and beautiful.

My only complaint about this game is that I want more. Praying that this dev keeps up with this game and completes it, because it's a shining star among the piles of cliched crap that we see posted to this site every day.

Randomly stumbled upon this gem while scrolling through the top rated games. I can see why it's rated so high. Rarely have I been so hooked, especially after playing dozens and dozens of games. This one is really something special, and I can't wait for more. Big ups to the dev. Please know that you're creating something great.

In terms of animation, this game definitely comes out on top.

The storyline is still in its setup phase, but the overall quality is top-notch. The female characters, in particular, are very charming, and the game has a wicked sense of humor that's really entertaining.

Considering the creator's current situation, supporting this game is definitely worth it. After all, spending a little to get a few hours of joy is totally worth it, right?

I wouldn't say it's the best game I've ever played, but it's definitely among the top in many aspects.

Stunning visuals, music is used well to support the scenes, the humor is great, the animations are great, the writing sucks you in and the dialogue flows really well.
The girls are all gorgeous and memorable and there wasn't a character yet I did not want to know more about.
The sex scenes were hot - well written and beautifully animated.
I also loved the slightly cartoonish humor scenes - it's rare that a game makes me laugh out loud.

The story seems to be in its early stages, but what we have is quite intriguing. There's also a lot more content than it being ep 2 would suggest - the story content will keep you busy for several hours, even if you're a qick reader like me.
I'll definitely keep an eye on this one. Quality like this is worth waiting patiently for.

5/5

This is the 2nd time an AVN has compelled me to write a review. Greatness should be recognized and Realm Invader is greatness!

Invader Gary has raised the bar. Realm Invader is on another level. I've never laughed so much from an AVN and when I'm not laughing I'm smiling. The characters are interesting and the story is captivating. The writing is intelligent, witty, and clearly a work of passion.

More of this!

Might be the best VN I have played yet. Funny, original, clever, hot.

I have to be honest, I skip a lot of dialogue in porn games. Like a lot. Hell, I even skip forward in most movies and tv shows. But writing here is insanely good, dialogue is to the point. Almost zero filler, unlike most VNs. None of that deep lore dive, no unending lines on describing their trouble in school/work etc. This is a game about the MC, the girls and the sexual/romantic dynamic between them. That´s what porn games are about (to me anyways) - about sex, about those doing the sex, and everything that leads to/stems from the sex. Be it romance, horniness ... being a slave... Interactive erotic romance novel (usually) aimed more towards the guys. Something lot of other developers don´t seems to get.

But don´t take me wrong. There is lore, there is world building. But to add depth to the characters, not to be the star of the show. Every character has plenty of personality, including the main protagonist. Dialogue (and internal monologue) is funny and engaging, while keeping our primal side of mind occupied with tasteful H type of humour/tension/meta.

Music is amazing, lots of tracks, each chosen with lyrics in mind specifically for each scene.

Despite me mentioning "sex" like five times earlier, there aren´t actually that many H scenes, but those that are there are amazing. The scene in the swimming pool/competition might be the hottest piece of animation I have ever seen. The attention to detail when it comes to the girl is incredible, it´s very well textured. Animation is done with high level of polish and thought as well (looks really realistic, with the way the character is changing between several motions without a cut).

The only downside is it´s far from finished (room for plenty more chapters). Also no voice (or sound effects) in H scenes but that´s both kinda rare and personal perference. Otherwise, nothing but praise. It was so good I had to write my first review. Kudos do the dev and good luck with the development, I truly think this is a special game.

(Disclaimer: Review is for version Ep2P1 and is subject to change upon the game's completion)

...

...Okay, before anything, can someone tell me what drugs were the dev taking when he made this thing, and can I have some?

...

Anyway, I'm...honestly impressed with this game. The story's pretty unique, the humor is simply insane and is absolutely right up my alley, the renders are decent, the worldbuilding is just flat-out bonkers, the music is awesome, and the characters feel like they're so alive with all of the animated expressions and movements that they showcase outside the lewds.

Only issues I have I suppose is that the Dev character feels overdone (like, I don't mind that he exists, but he feels like he's a character who overstays his welcome and would've been better had his presence be used sparingly), the opening is a bit on the weak side and had to be powered through to get to the good stuff, the main character looks a little TOO generic and it would've been better if the dev gave him a little bit of love, some of the camera angles look a bit "off" like some closeups look out of center and such, and the UI feels sluggish at times.

Other than that, I absolutely adore this thing and I would play it even without the lewds. Will definitely watch this thing with great interest. 4.5/5 stars.
