Ren'Py - Rogue-like: Evolution [v1.6d] [Oni]

The best trainer game on here, been playing it for years. The updates are very slow but currently there is enough content here to keep you satisfied for a very long time. It’s even bigger in its current state than other completed trainer games.

If you love Marvel's X-Men, you'll love this game! It even let's you choose a Black skin tone, which is GREATLY appreciated, let me tell you! (Or green, if you're into that, lol) You can do all sorts of stuff with the girls, with more on the way! It is a very immersive dating sim, and you can build a harem and have threesomes, too! A must play for all fans of the beautiful X-Women!

[As of v0.996b]

A unique and special game.
Compared to most of the visual novel type games on this site, this game plays more like a fun sandbox game, although it has the same engine (Renpy). It does not have much of a linear narrative plot, but this also means that even after you've played it once, it's still fun to play it again.

Highlights:
1) Unique and attractive artworks. It really makes this game stand out.
2) Outstanding gameplay. Straightforward but not boring, with carefully considered rewarding mechanisms that make each step forward feel fresh and fun.
3) Rich content coupled with great freedom under a certain framework.

• So far, debuted 6 characters, at least 4 characters already have a lot of content (a lot of unique clothing, looks, sex options, etc.).
• Players can modify characters according to their preferences. In addition, the game allows players to decide on the actions and scenes to be performed with any character.
• The characters can also interact with each other (so far, up to two female characters have been in the same scene).
• There are a number of events. When there are multiple girls in a scene, interaction with one of them may be noticed by another girl and trigger follow-up (e.g., join you) depending on her stats.
• Every activity you do will be reflected in the character. For example, after dozens of sessions of anal sex, the pain reflected in the character's facial expression will gradually decrease

Issues:
1) Some of the erotic scenes are weird.
2) Some bugs in the general gameplay experience and in the erotic scenes.
3) The process of corrupting a character is very grinding. You can speed up this process through mods or tweaking the console. But if you don't know the procedure, the playthrough can be tough.
4) As for now, a great portion of the game experience relies on tweaking console variables. If you know the basics of how to use the console, the game will be extra easy. Otherwise, it may be tedious.

The art style just has something special to it... I don't know what it is, but Oni hit it out of the part with character design.

The gameplay is pretty straight forward and rewarding. The money aspect of it can be on the grindy side, and the RNG events can be frustrating, but it's generally easy to overlook with the character art and their personalities.

All in all, I enjoy this game very much and I'm hopeful for a story line in the future!

What could i say? this game really looking good and sometimes and the gameplay also conveys these impressions.
For Beginning you're student of Xavier's school you have unique ability disable the powers, and make each girl horny , eventually they ask you stop itching effect and in exchange, you offer them how to do it

But there's always be something what won't suit you or you not quite like it
and i can't give more than 5

1. Animations some of them look good, some of them they look funny or some of them looks a little bit ugly, but sometimes some animations looks decent enough and you enjoying the process.
Yes over time animations are polished after each update, but there are those that just stayed away they are and you'll have to choose another one so as not to spoil your impression

2. In game 6 girls(It seems like there are 8 planned in total, next girl is Jubilee) Just for the notice - That decent and good
Only 4 of 6 looks completed and good for enjoying the process

3. Clothing
Each looks unique and has unique clothing
Each one can be dressed as you want, but still clothes are too little represented in the game,them not enough and only the recent Halloween update has diluted some of these clothes,
I'm not asking make a barby game, 4 instead of 2 clothes would be more cool
Each girl has 2 standard clothes 1 standard underwear and 2 complete extra underwear(lace and swimsuit) that you can buy
you can mix every clothes for the girl and also rip pantyhose
so that each of the girls looked more sexy and horny than usual
(sad it's not yoga pants)
Each you can date,study, fun each other and even more!
(Even make a threesome)
There's few bars showing you how much they love you in different ways:
Love,Obedience,Inhibitions,Lust , and how much semen point you left.

4. Events
In game few events, some of them repeats for every girl,but events for the girls,criminally little: like caught someone on masturbating, or you fun with girl and other girl notice and leave or decide to join , or fun with girl in a public and Xavier's can caught you, only Storm have unique event night on pool, if will be also each one as unique for every girl as for the storm that would be great.

In short:
If parts of animations not wil be bugged
Clothes will be more than 2,
Events will be more than 10 and for the girls be unique

The game will look decent than 5

Is it worth playing it? YES! Really fun to play and be in those small world but still need more polishing, game looks almost completed

This game is great. The sex scenes are easy to use while they have many different options. The art is amazing as well as the dialogue. Some if the characters arent finished but everything else in the game makes up for it. It kinda feels like it has untouched potential though.

This is my fav of all time! I've been playing for a while now, and it keeps getting better.
I like the artwork a lot
and I most write more word to post this review, but I just want to give this game five star. Its great.

this very good game. about 5 girls to pursue and all have sexual content. as trainers go this one is very good and one of the best. would be better with music and more animations. Artist has a distinct art syle which is hard to find.

Laura's titjob alone is better than F95% of the shit posted on here. I genuinely mean that. this game is easily the best game we have available. it almost makes me regret the things i've done. I'm so sorry to all the people i've hurt.

Characters are all gorgeous and different than in mainstream. For me game engine is simple and easy to use. I haven't seen this kind of a sex scene UI to bring girls to the end. Overall innovative game. Me like! My points are 7/5.

I love this game. It is clear, it is simple, there isn't too much of a story although there are very small, minor story lines.

All of the sex scenes are available for all characters and they all have good angles. It makes it one of my favorites.

Seeing Ren'Py game I automatically feel a bit unattracted because there are a lot of mediocre visual novels. This game using Ren'Py differently, giving you opportunity to not just click through images, but to make a lot of choices. There is great relationship building, I clearly remember how much I liked it when I one by one got unlocked different sex options, which are different for each beautiful heroine. There is a lot of customization, freedom, really outstanding game.

i will never forget this game and I'm always looking for an update the game mechanics are fun to use and I genuinely enjoy talking with the characters. with or without mods i could play this game for hours and I'm really holding out for the update

This might be my favorite game which I consider to loosely be within the "corruption" genre (although you can strategically avoid that kind of content entirely) something about it is just perfectly satisfying. The options you have to approach the goal of the game add a lot of variety which I can appreciate on every playthrough when I revisit it for major updates. The artstyle is consistently top quality IMO (a bonus when it's the artist also delivering the code) and the simple 2D animation to complement it just works; this also means it works well on relatively low spec mobile devices without a hitch if you choose to play it that way. Update frequency would be my only gripe but I can appreciate the fact that after several years it is still seeing quality updates that don't leave the game a broken mess. That alone is a rare quality deserving of the rating. One of the few games I've not regretted supporting on Patreon and check up on habitually.

good game

pro:
quite a few characters
art is great!
corroption is fun and when maxed, the characters become sexier imo
dev is adding more sex positions

con:
sometimes boobs look ugly
professor plans are confusing

I regularly come back to this one. There's just something the slower, dynamic progression that really appeals to me. Having to put in the work to evolve the relationships and having dozens of ways to go about it is just a heccin' good time.

The list of flaws is probably too long to fit in a short review like this one, but I do believe the game more than makes up for it in its uniqueness.

Review for 0.994g.
TLDR
One of the best classic 2D animation games with cartoonish characters on RenPy. It sure has its flaws, but the level of complexity in this rather simple game is not what you would expect.
Good points:

• You will not surprise anyone with sta stat system in such games nowdays. But this game takes it to the next level. When the best thing you can say about the game is the stat management, the game is either very good or very bad. This is the former case. So, what to expect from stats:
  • Stats control everything. There is no event or action which triggers no matter of stats and which outcome is not based on stats. This way, once the stats are known, the player always knows ehat to expect. There is never some stupid randomness or wtf-logic the player cannot control.
  • Stats increase and decrease depending on the player's choices. For every player choice there is an option to quicksave before and rollback to it in a matter of seconds just to see what the outcome will be.
  • The player never knows the exact values of stat checks, so it adds some doubt "whether I have enough" to the gameplay and promotes slow and methodic approach.
  • All stats do matter. There is no stat which does abolutely nothing. There is no dominant and secondary stat.
• The sprites are mostly well made, what is aspecially appealing is the amount of facial expressions and "lust meter differences", all of those depending on the stats of course.
• There is a couple of clothing options for girls, from which the player can build different outfits and save them for different occasions (sleep wear, gym clothes etc)
• Up to 7 "main events" with each girl, first being introduction and the following 6 are related to 3 of the main stats, 2 on each, and give different behavior for girl as an outcome.
• There is nothing forcing the player how to play. I have played the game several times, chosing different approach each time, and was pretty surprised how the behavior of girls change according to my approach.
• There are currently 6 girls, each being unique in own way, and despite every approach is applicable to every girl, some girls may fall for some approaches faster than others and benefit from it more. Anyway, it is always good to experiment on what you can do.
• There is actually a lot to do with each girl. About 20 primary actions, most of them can be coupled with offhand actions and pose switching.
• The timeline is split into 4 timeframes, but each action takes a certain fraction of the timeframe it is performed in. F.e. studying takes up whole remaining timeframe and can be started even in the middle of timeframe, but chatting with a girl only takes up like 1/20th of a timeframe and it is realistic.

Bad points:

• The performance. From such lightweight game one would expect pretty fast scene change, area load etc. But no, not the case with this one. I have no idea how it happens, but the game really struggles even on Ryzen 3950x with massive cache and fast overclock speed, aspecially when in "skip mode". I have no idea why is it so bad. I do not really see this impacting my gameplay, but I do keep in mind that not all of the players are running cutting edge hardware, and it should work for everyone smoothly. It doesnt.
• Some of the sprites are outright bad. There is a lot of critique every once in a while when new sprite is added, and it seems like almost noone is satisfied with it. With a simple redrawing of 2-3 sprites the game could have been improved a lot.
• Some of the sprites are low res, which ruins closeups in certain events because it is visible.
• Bugs eventually appear here and there. Most of them are fixed, but a whole bunch of small bugs remain, probably not noticed by the developer. And those are not fixed for years.

Summary:
Almost perfect by design game, has very well made game mechanics allowing for a smooth and varying response based on player's actions, surprisingly great attention to details you rarely see in such games. Only downsides being low developement speed, performance being lower than expected and small occasional bugs. However, these disadvantages are not crucial and allow the player to fully enjoy the sandboxy gameplay of this game.

Slow updates but it's a damn good game. You can progress however you want and interact however you want, with enough combinations of events and scenes that offer a lot of replayability. So yeah very customisable.

What a great game, I recommend not downloading right now because it doesn't have that much content and it will only leave you wanting more and I hate that feeling, maybe you like that kind of feeling, and if that is the case go ahead play it.

Cute art, but terrible gameplay.
There's no story and the characters don't say anything interesting at all. There are no scripted events outside of meeting the characters. It's just a nonstop grind of flirting with everyone you come across for hours until you hit a magic number where they will undress for you.

If the grind was fun or varied then it might have been interesting, but it's the exact same action over and over.
