    The Good;
    Character Models - A lot of other porn game models look, to put it bluntly, like shit. Too often they look unnatural and wrongly proportioned, especially in regards to body proportions (Dick/Breast sizes become fucking obscene sometimes). Red Cloak doesn't suffer from this issue, Diverter (to my knowledge) looks and seems pretty original in terms of Character and Model, if a little inspiration is taking here and there. Super Girl, similarly looks amazing, ignoring the obvious "her tits are massive!" She's well proportioned and I can tell real care and effort has gone into making her face, hair and limbs realistic looking and feeling. This especially shows during the sex scenes.

    The Sex Scenes - This is where the depth of your dedication to this game really shines through, The Sex scenes are phenomenal, I was expecting a 5 second loop of Dick in Pussy before some cliched white stuff splattered all over Super Girl, an Underestimation prompted by other, shit games. The Sex Scenes in Red Cloak has single handedly made me interested in your other projects. Theres multiple angles, dialogue realistic body movement from both Super Girl *and* Diverter that I truly wasn't expecting. The 'Face Fucking' Scene in particular truly impressed me, watching her body jiggle and the various camera angles switching were really arousing and must have taken a lot of effort on your part. Truly, an A+ experience.

    The Bad;
    The Plot - This is more of a personal gripe, The plot is your standard "mercenary gets contacted to kill a heroine" affair, Which is honestly kind of fine. However, there's a distinct lack of meaningful choices in Red Cloak, Both times you get to make a choice both options accomplish the same thing, so why give us a choice in the first place? It's also Painfully Short for what it is, and seems like little more than set up for an upcoming Wonder Woman version of this game.

    Diverter's Unlikeable - Diverter as a character is awful, IMO. He's unlikeable, cliche, cringe inducing and honestly? Boring. It's so dull to watch him threaten the Hostage in the initial scene and the one proceeding to the fight with Supergirl, So far we've scene that he's Amoral, ruthless and intelligent which is fine, in theory. But he has the Charisma of a Jalapeno Enema with about the same amount of regret for interacting with him. The Reader needs to be able to immerse themselves in the main character for Porn Games to truly gain traction with them, I don't want to Immerse myself in Diverter, I think I'd rather Immerse myself in Carnage (Spiderman Villain).

    A suggestion I'd give to fix the above point is let the viewer choose the approach Diverter uses on Super Girl, If they want to take the Original Approach, by all means let them. But Set up other options for people who want to be more, Well I was going to use 'Gentleman Thief' here but it doesn't fit. Maybe allow a Suaver more Charismatic approach, another could be very manipulative, making Super Girl think she had to let Diverter have his way. Essentially, allow alternate approaches to let us actually play and enjoy interacting as Diverter, because to an extent we can customize how he acts in certain parts of the game.

    The Ugly;
    The Fight Scenes - Good god the fight scenes, I get that as a VN they can't exactly be 60fps 4k fight scenes of Diverter getting his arse kicked, but still images of him getting flung into a wall or on his arse is incredibly... dull? Honestly, I just ended up mashing through it to get to the next part. Even when I forced myself to go back and watch them, it was painfully bad, every scene was Super Girl decking him, and launching him on his arse, there was nothing interesting or fun or even any choices to make. A big improvement would be to make the fight more interactive and have Diverter show his intelligence/tactics by setting up traps that while they ultimately couldn't beat Super Girl, they could divert her attention off of Diverter. (It's in the name?) Further, set up branching paths during the fight so you can pick and choose how Diverter fights, this keeps the reader interested and lets them help customize and immerse themselves in Their version of Diverter.

    Overall, I do recommend this game, It's exceptional in area's that Porn Games traditionally lack, but It stumbles a lot and has issues that keep it from being a 5/5 game for me.

    Pure quality. If we had more games like this one war and conflict in general would become meaningless. This developer has earned my financial support. Games like this one are the reason I am still visiting this site.

    Absolutely great first installment! Terrific renders, hot scenes, lots of animation, gorgeous characters.... It'll be great to see Wonder Woman added to the defeated heroines, but that seems to be the next installment.
