Ren'Py - Rogue-like: Evolution [v1.64a] [Oni]

It's good but I think there's not much that would make it outstanding.

The game is very much taking the approach of "More girls = Better"
It's not bad, just a sure way to burn out and leave the rest as mediocre.

Pros:

1. Lots of girls. Rogue, Kitty, Emma frost, Jean grey, Gwenpool, Squirrel girl, Storm, Wanda, Psylocke? (Elizabeth), Jubilee, Laura (Wolverine)
2. Lot's of H scenes: Each girl has different poses and H scenes
3. Very modular: As in it's easy to add content. Clothes, items, custom girls. Very expandable type of game.

Cons:

1. No story: Not even a basic one. You literally just chill at school and talk with people.
2. Unintuitive Menu's: The flirting menu's are convoluted. Moving to talk to girls in a location is annoying.
3. Grindy?: I'm not sure since I just bought swimsuits and went swimming to max out affection

This is a 9.7 / 10 for me. It is fun, and at the beginning there is plenty to do as you interact with the girls, but is not engaging because there is no story.

A story would make it great. A bit of training would also make it more fun.

Sounds would make this go to the next level.

Honestly there has been a surprising number of characters added to this game so far. It felt good when there was just Rogue, Kitty, Emma and a few others, but the dev kept going forward and adds pretty big features and really listens to their supporters.
Not a huge fan of squirrel girl, but you can just not talk to someone and it works out pretty well. There's no real story to the game, but the game was never really intended to be story-based, you're not out to save the world, you're just in a school with obnoxiously hot girls and you wanna fuck them and just so happen to have a superpower that makes your touch rather addicting.
Solid game, has a bright future for sure.

I started this game way back when there were only 3 girls : Rogue, Kitty and Emma. I must say the game has gone a long way and a good one by that.

As for the story, there isn't really a story. It's your classic sandbox dating sim, unless you count the X-Men world building as story because there are a lot of niche and cool lore snips and pieces in the conversations for each girl. Animations are good for an artstyle like this. It's also not that grindy like other sandbox games.

The only thing missing is sound, music would make the game far better like some ambient music for each background or like ambient background sounds like when you are at the mall you hearsome people mumbling or in the shower some water running, stuff like that . Moans and stuff should be added last in my humble opinion.

Overall a very good game in which you can see that the developer took their time and passion/love to make it.

5/5

The artstyle is consistent and ok.
Story is well barely there, it's a sandbox basically.
Characters are written enjoyably but whether they stray from the originals i dont know.
The game seems a bit grindier than it seems, because you unlock most pretty early but there is a bit of grind still.
There is pretty good variety in different girls.
The lack of sounds sadly lowers the score dramastically.

This game is so addictive I can’t take my hands off it! The mechanics are unique, and as an X-Men fan, I love the style. It’s great that the devs keep updating it, but I think more improvements could make it even more epic. Still, it’s already a must-play! Character designs are stunning.
This game deserves every bit of praise.

Translation:
"I was thoroughly surprised with this one, current update 1.61f has a lot of decent content in it that I wasn't expecting. Already this has an interesting theme, much like "Something unlimited" using the Justice league cartoon this uses the X-men Evolution cartoon as the source material, so right off the bat it should make a nostalgia nerd excited.

The "story" is kinda basic, your the new guy/gal and have a certain power that helps you get laid wrapped up in dating sim. Each character will have their own way of progression however the player can either push further or pull away to increase or decrease the relationship.

Gameplay is pretty standard, you have to talk, give gifts, be charming, etc. to get the girl. Depending on certain levels such as love (Will she want to do it), obedience (Will she do what you ask), and inhibitions (Will she do it in public) you may or may not be able to continue forward.

Art style is pretty good, it's really close to replicating the show's style with the obvious sexual side to it. It does look stiff though, occasionally the characters eyes will blink but other than the sexual animations they at kinda like cardboard cutouts. It's not a completely terrible thing, it's just hard to unsee that.

Animations aren't bad, though they do get stale after awhile. The threesome stuff should be worked on as it's literally just the second female standing behind the first with the game telling you what they are doing rather than showing.

No audio atm, unsure if it's gonna be added at all, but the dialogue is pretty good with only some minor hiccups here and there. Don't really need any voice work due to the characters calling you by name/ first initial though I could see the possibility of A.I. voice work reading the script or specific dialogue. Some music would be nice too.

So far my favorite characters have been Rogue and Psylocke, but that's mainly due to my own personal crushes lol. Rogue's powers being so dangerous and her finally being around someone she can touch made my heart happy. Overall I could see more characters being added but atm they have a good stack of the more known ones.

You only see mentions of any male characters such as Cyclops, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler and never a model which isn't disappointing but it is kinda like the scene from Shrek saying "Where is everybody". Only Professor X is shown but is only there to stop the player from doing anything in public till "persuaded" otherwise.

It's not AMAZING but it is worth a shot in my opinion. I think if the animations were spruced up and the threesome stuff had a little more, have more variety with certain standing and action poses, and some music for audio would make me LOVE this game."

Fun with with great dialogue and story, easy to play with a very intuitive user interface (UI), great characters that respect the original ones, and even without the mods it is already really excellent. The fact the characters have a personality is great and make it above a simple harem game.

the usual dating simulator with characteristics, there is no particularly good animation, but still the art is good and for fans of parodies it will come in, but it's not particularly interesting to skip a bunch of the same dialogues, but I like that the author did a good job with many characters.

I've played this game quite a lot over the years, following its development and I can say for sure this is one of those rare finds.

This is definitely, currently, the best trainer type of game I know of.
It is very non-rapey, with every girl being in a consensual or at least "mutually benneficial" relationship depending on how you play it and you can go full lovey-dovey with them focusing 100% on a single girl if you want to.

A summary is that, as a mutant, your touch (and bodily fluids) is both something that inhibits mutant powers and very slightly addictive.
This makes girls search you either to inhibit their powers or conditions for their bennefit or to get a "fix" of your touch, which you can deny and even make them immune to your addiction with different means if you want to remove that.

You have a lot of freedom to be a more loving dom or more of an asshole, yet being an asshole has a lot of consequences as the girls will dislike you and refuse you.

The main character is very much dominant with the girls, as this is a "trainer" game, so if you are more into switch or sub relationships, this probably wouldn't be your thing.

I very much love that Rogue from the Evolution animation and that design of Emma Frost and X-23, and a young Psyloche (Elizabeth),... and Wanda...
Anyway, the girls design is seriously S-tier.

Out of all the girls currently in the game, only 1 of them I didn't really like and she was a more recent addition, which I'm sure several people will like her body type more and the game still gives me an option to remove her which, in lore, is just Xavier sending her on errands around.

All in all, this is a very well deserving 5 out of 5.
The sex is basically Live2D technology without using Live2D technology.
From what I know, the dev created it 100% from the ground up before Live2D was a thing for Ren'Py which means the dev doesn't only have great taste and is an amazing writer, but is an unbelievable genious of a programmer as well.

This is that one game that if and when I'm more well off in my life, I'll definitely subscribe to their Patreon just because its fully deserved.

Super game when I play my hands are always on the table. Interesting mechanics and design always loved the x-men universe. it's good that the game is still being improved, there is still a lot that needs to be fixed and added, in my opinion, to make the gameplay more exciting and unforgettable

TL;DR Must Play trainer Game

Probably one of the best trainers out there up there with some other games

Pros:
Customizable girls
Multiple Girls
Progression is decent
Good art and variety
Mods enhance the experience

Cons:
Gets samey after a while
Extremely slow updates
Th e plot is decent but severely lacks in content

This game has been fantastic so far, offering plenty of content and quality dialogue. One of its best points is that it takes less time to play compared to similar games, which I really appreciate. the grind is barely there. The developers are constantly updating and improving it. I started playing when there were only three characters, and it's been great to see how much the game has grown over the years.

It is more good than bad game.

The story/text is coherent, there is a good variety of scenes and characters. Girls are well drawn for most part.

Where it gets clunky is the UI/levelling that could have used a massive rework.
Secondly, the sex ui itself is extremely clunky and after few times it gets boring/choresome to click those buttons. And you need to click them alot to grind out girls stats to unlock more actions, so it is kinda stupid.

There is an option to bully xavier and remove certain girls from the game, so they don't annoy you.

The scenes cgis themselves are nothing special, and endless repetition kills it.
Especially it shows in threesome scenes, where it is clear that cgis and text don't follow each other.

Review for version 1.53c. No mods.

Because the story is a bit blend, I stopped playing (grinding mindlessly?) after a while to directly check the code to see if there was some kind of variation somewhere.

Looking at the code to check what I miss at the moment, I haven't read everything yet and there's stuff I don't understand. What is the purpose of the JeanX.LikeSGirl (this is different from JeanX.LikeGirl stat, and created when threesome with whammy stuff is done line 6374 of script Sex)?

I also feel like there is too much hardcoded stuff. This is a nightmare to maintain, it might be better if the code generically call the girls parameters/fields and check for particular case rather than just a list of if/else for every combination, since there is a lot of copy-paste anyway between the sentences. Maybe that series of if/else also contribute to the game being slow.

The internal parameters for each girl may be a bit long doing that, but at least it's easier to read, and dev/we would just look at a Girl's file to see what is missing (and thus would resort to a default behaviour/sentence if there is an empty field, for example), what should be specific to that girl (or combination with other girls). This way, adding a girl to the game would be much easier to the dev too rather than modifying every if/else series in every file of the game.

Also maybe a more efficient/easy event queue/time slot attribution code could be done? Not sure which data structure would be the fastest in RenPy (which should be compiled in rpyc), and more easy to manage for the dev's objectives. Maybe a full interface so people could check planned schedules of each character in one look (if they have plans).

Right now I feel like every girl is the same, almost every interaction is the same except for distinct sentences, same methods of grinding, same actions and interactions with and within them, BUT A VERY FEW welcome differences, such as:
- Whammy Jean, but the mechanic is not very clear.
- Kitty being able to steal clothes from other girls, and also during a class on the teacher. Going through things could definitely open more kinky stuff...
- Betsy using psychic knife, mechanic not very clear either, maybe she could use it on girls in the future?

Just so people don't take this the wrong way, I like the game but it's not without flaws, and I felt like saying something different than other reviewers that could actually help the game improve, or at least help the dev progress more easily on this game. That is why I would put 4 stars and not 3.

So I am hoping for more, especially in powers impact, story and Xsome department, and variety between girls rather than just sentences. Though, this is already very nice in terms of content.
I also want to praise the dev for making the smart choice of using different combinations of superposed pictures rather than having a whole picture for each combination like many Ren'py VNs: this compress the size and allows people to mod more easily.
So many VNs out there have 4GB of file size, but have less content than this game.

The game is fairly enjoyable. The gameplay loop can get a bit stale after a bit, but the girls are extremely well drawn and attractive. Most of the sex scenes get stale just as quickly due to most of the animations being extremely static with only minor movements. Most of the game is handled by navigating a bunch of different menus.

This is the quint-essential, technically and visually most competent sandbox/corruption/exhibitionism/marvel parody/Ren'Py game out there.

This title sets a new standard and legit makes me consider going back and re-rating my previous reviews, lest i do injustice to this masterpiece by only giving it 5 stars!

- The writing is top notch (OH MY GOD GWEN AND EVERYTHING SHE SAYS! FUCKING HILARIOUS)! There are not a lot of porn games that have writing that's actually worth reading. This one sets the benchmark. Well written, and while a lot of titles utterly fail at the pacing department, making the interactions waaaay too long and drawn out, making the player/reader lose interest, the writer(s) of this title know what the fuck they are actually doing!
- The sex mechanics are second to none and really showcase what is achievable with the game engine.
- Love the girl customization and corruption mechanics. Slowly asking them to wear more revealing clothing, being more promiscuous in the public, interacting with other characters on and off screen. It's fucking impressive!

If it was ever possible to buy this game on Steam (yeah, OBVIOUSLY not gonna happen due to IP, i know) i'd pay a full AAA-game price for it (hell, the dev could charge additional $$$ packaging girls as DLC). Not kidding! And no, i am not using patreon and do not intend to. Albeit Oni is the one person who is probably the closest to breaking my resolve on this matter.

I could gush on and on about this title, but fucking hell dude! Just go download the game already! I am not exaggerating when i say that this is one of the most competent titles not only on this site, but in the porn game industry as a whole!

What more needs to be said?

It's an excellent game with excellent art, not-so-compelling gameplay and a reasonably excellent sex system. Customization is reasonable and good. Girls are cute.

If you're not sure, definitely give it a go.

I've played dating games before where you could pretty much stumble your way to success through trial and error. But in this game? Say the wrong thing or flake out on a date, and these girls will ghost you faster than a speeding bullet. It's not exactly challenging since your character seems to attract attention effortlessly, but it's refreshing to see that your choices actually matter.

The storyline and gameplay don't exactly progress at warp speed, but who needs that when you've got a sandbox to play in imo.

You're free to roam and do whatever floats your boat. During the XXX scenes, you've got a lot of fuuckery! and lots of positions now too!

As your relationships deepen, you can personalize the girls with different outfits, this keeps me coming back for more because it's just plain fun.

This thread is very informative about this game, along with questions about the newest patches and the details that are apparent with each new addition for the game. This thread has helped me set up this game with their previous experience which was extremely helpful without being disrespectful.
