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

I love this game. I usually steer well clear of parodies but the work in this is amazing and beyond reproach.

While the story is simple enough and I usually prefer a lengthier story and less smut, the options in this game are amazing. I just hope that Oni puts more into the story later and then this'll be a perfect game.

Very beautiful game, really keeps to the X-Men Evolution art style which I really appreciate. If you are only here for one girl in particular, then don't interact much with the others, for they will interact back with you on their own. On the other hand, if you want a harem then you can also achieve that either by having the girls all separately (can make them jealous) or introduce them to each other (allows threesome scenes). Great game, plays well, developer does a good job and pays attention to detail, very nostalgic.

A master class of what a parody game can and could be. It follows M*rvel lore to a T, or should I say an "X" here? Animation is in the style of the 2000s XM3n show which doesnt draw as much nostalgia as Rogue herself does for me. References are made and a faceless protag is perfect for this. Really puts YOU in the drivers seat. The sex scenes COULD be more diverse and pregnancy isnt there, but thats like finding $100 on the street and complaining it is dirty. Damn near flawless game and the pinnacle of what all parody games could be.

Long time player and patron.

Pros:

1. Great artwork. One of the best examples of a 2dcg art on the site. The jump to HD graphics made a huge difference.
2. Varied character dialogue. Oni makes each character feel unique and fleshed out. Especially like the color coding and unique wardrobes.
3. Even progression. The grind is just enough to make the content progression feel natural.

Cons:

1. Slowed rate of updates. It feels the more recent updates haven't added a lot to the core mechanics of the game.
2. Low mechanic depth. At its core the game is corruption stat grinder where you take each character along the same corruption path with a few exceptions for the two corruptible teachers. Would like to see varied endgame states for each of the characters but that's fine.

Pros:
+ Good foundation for a game
+ Decent amount of different girls (Would like to see even more)
+ Decent art style
+ Indept interactions with the girls

Things to improve:
- Add sound effects
-Add story events for each girl to give them a bit more personality
- More variations in sex positions
-Ability to give girls a different look for example hair style or overal clothes that they would wear all day.
-More different kind of dating locations(like going to a amusement park)

Game is a good start and has lots of potiental to be build upon.

The game is great, the images are excellent (I just find Jean Gray's hair that could be Evolution's hair weird). But the game doesn't have a purpose, it doesn't have a goal. After a while it becomes absurdly repetitive, and you take a step and find a sex-hungry girl or two.
At some point it gets tired.

I think it would be a little more interesting if there was something else to do or if the girls were a little tougher and had a little more personality. Or maybe the powers have something else to do with them.

It would also be interesting if there were some arts of girls making out instead of just showing that little hand or tongue.

And if there was that and there was still the possibility of playing with a female protagonist, then I would become patreon

Fantastic game so far, a lot of content, quality dialogue, takes a lot less time than a lot of these kinds of games, which I consider a huge plus. It is constantly being updated and made better. I started playing it back when there were only 3 girls, and I have happily watched this game grow over the years. It's probably not the most romantic game in my opinion, but it has a lot of funny parts to it that I think makes it more enjoyable.

This game is a sort of sandbox dating-sim, you get through into a school setting as a news student and from there you get to purse a selection of heroins.

The dating gimmicks are nice and even fun but they do get repetitive very quickly.

The plot is...well lets just say it is not a story driven game for there is none of it. There is a sort of introduction but it never goes beyond that which is a real shame there is a lot of untap potential unexplored.

The art of the character is superbe, this part shines in that departement but I wouldn't say the same of the environment that seem rather dull in contrast.

So the verdict, I would give it a good 2,5 out of 5. One star easily lost because of the lack of plot. but it is a nice little game, one would need 5 h to complete it.

This game is around for a long while. it evolved a bit but remain essentially the same but with more content. there is however some aspect that still need to be improved. i will cite here the good and bad side of the game

Positive

• good art
• original concept
• decent grinding
• many girls ( you are likely to find one at your taste)
• complex relationship between girls (they do not like each other)
• Xavier add an actual challenge so you do not just do wathever you want like a sandbox game

Negative

• sometime it's confusing who you are talking to (where there is multiple girls)

Potential of improvement & suggestion

• adding male character to add up to the challenge
  the male characters would be "rival" in love to certain girls and tend to challenge your progress with them. like keeping you to interract with the girls and try to screw with you during dates. like a jealous boyfriend
  here is some suggested character and who will they try to keep for themselve
  Scott Summers - Jean Grey (he aspire to be her boyfriend)
  Kurt Wagner - "Kitty" Pryde (he aspire to be her boyfriend)
  Evan Daniels - Ororo Munroe "storm" (she is his aunt but he is a bit too "close" to her)
  Logan - Laura Kinney (he is sort of a father figure for her, so he will be intimidating to you and protective to her)
  Henry Phillip McCoy "beat" - teacher (he will just be generally add up to the gallenge when you flirt around the school)
• Adding a group of girls as part of another faction could be interresting, like the Brotherhood of Mutants. some girls could be added all together and resting in a secret hideout that could be found after a event in the mail. before that, they will occasionally come around to the academy and cause trouble.
  here is some girls i propose to add
  Mystique (she would act like a teacher to this new faction)
  Wanda Maximoff "scarlet whitch"
  Tabitha Smith " boom boom"
• additional character could also be added to the Academy. so you could have some additional girls to the "harem"
  Amara Juliana Olivia Aquilla "Magma" - an little Latina with Naive personallity and hopefully shaved for a change. she should have breast a bit smaller than Kitty
  Rahne Sinclair "wolfbane" - a really territorial girl, she will be easily jealous to see you talk to other girls who she do not feel close to.
  Risty Wilde - she is actually Mystique who was infiltrating the academy. she will absolutly avoid to touch you because she will find out your power before burning her cover, but i find her sexy, so i would love to have her around the game even if it's only to see her in the shower.
• a feature that could be really welcome could be to have the possibility to shave the pudic hairs. like you would need to have a bit higher relation, like after you start to have a full intercouse wih them, and you buy razor and ask to shave them. the shaving will not be permanent, it should last like a week, after what new grown will appear but with 2-3 stage before becoming a wild bush. otionally you can ask the girls to always shave by their own, which could make them been seem shaving in the shower.
  
  

so that is all i have to say about the game, it's a really good game, but not yet a 5 stars to me. because it's still could be better and refined

Very nice game. Really like the amount of H options that are given for each character. The setup is a game in the Xmen universe where you use your powers to help girls remove their mutant abilities. You can have relationships with and H scenes with multiple girls at a time.

The game does not have sound but the art and writing is very good. I can highly recommend it.

Trainers are hit and miss with me, I like them, I like where they go, or I don't like them at all.

Rouge-like, Good plot, makes sense and totally easy to follow, scenes are easy to unlock and the game is self explanatory. The Animations need a small amount of work but for a game that's been this long in the making and is just wrapping up now. I think give it a few weeks this is gonna be great with most if not all bugs, content and characters hashed out.

Can't wait to delete my last save and completely start this over again I think I'll enjoy seeing it fresh and finished.

i recommend this game because the art, the forme of the structure of the game is good if you like Trainer games RLE is for you.
some of the ways to talk the girls have some consecuencia and that good, every decision is importand.
a bad thing is the way of gain money s not to much complicate only you have to save the money for to much time to buy the tings you want.

Not only it's very good, it has excellent potential.
The trainer aspect don't take too much time once you know how to optimize gains, and the sex scenes themselves are pretty good, with ok animation.

[Review update: 1.51f]
Quality has been dropping for a while now, and the recent addition of Squirrel Girl is the final nail in the coffin. Seriously, her face is absolutely terrifying. The game is still good, but fleshing out previous characters instead of constantly adding half-baked ones should be an obvious choice... Unless it was demanded by patrons, I can't understand his choice of adding that nightmare fuel in the game.

Unrelated, but when are we getting better clothes for everyone?

My only regret is taking forever to play the game because I thought it lacked depth from the small file size and not being a fan of sexualized western art.

But boy was I wrong.

It is probably one of the best old school sandbox dating sims on the site, with a strong focus on male domination and drugs(apparent your jizz is addicting)

The strongest appeal for the game though is how unique each character feels to corrupt and the barriers you need to overcome.

And most of all, there is an amazing amount of freedom and real player choice you get from playing it.

One of the most well thought out Dating Sims out there, definitely worth a play and a half

The art is Gorgeous and everything about the girls is perfect. The dev is very active and is constantly working on the game. There are many systems and the only faultin them i can think of is the grind; but that is just a Dating Sim thing.

For 0.996b(not the most recent one, but the last few seem to mostly be bugfixes for things I never experienced so I haven't updated yet. There doesn't seem to be much gameplay changes from the version I'm using so this should still be relevant)

It's a pretty fun and simple game. The animations are a bit clunky at times, but it's still fine. They are a bit limited though. You really only get 2 positions to choose from(missionary or doggystyle) and I feel like it's too copy+paste from character to character this way. Should really consider adding some new positions or something so at least jumping from one girl to the next can feel a bit different

The random encounters are a nice touch. It's nice having characters approach you once in a while so it feels like they're more real. What's even better is you can toggle this feature on or off for each girl

The girls themselves are all pretty unique in how you have to approach them. Rogue is basically the freebie easy mode character. Kitty is a closet nympho who you have to give cutesy compliments to ease her up. Emma is a bit of a challenge to work with, but that's fitting with her character. Laura is more shy so you gotta work slow. Storm is fairly easy. Jean is the only one I really struggle with. It's a bit too difficult to raise her affection. That bar is always almost empty for me. Should make it easier to get her affection.

I think new girls should be added in. There aren't really too many X-Men girls to pull from, but it's ok to branch out. Like, Mystique would be a good addition. Wanda would be a great choice. Jubilee would be fine too I guess. Even some other Marvel characters like She-Hulk could be nice touches. Just needs some more girls to help keep things varied.

I really enjoy choosing what the girls wear and when. Few games really give that level of control. It's really nice and I hope more outfit options are added for each of them in future updates.

I feel like the Campus should be expanded. As it is right now, you just have your room, the girls' rooms(which are all the same functionally), the gym, shower, class, and Xavier's office. The "issue" here is that some of these don't really seem to serve much purpose. I just got Xavier's key, but I have no real reason to go into that office. There's a pool, but it takes a lot of grinding to buy a swimsuit for each girl so I haven't even really did much with it yet and I can't imagine it's too different than anywhere else. The gym(danger room) is just meh and not too special. Showers are nice, but it seems a bit too "open". Like, it's just a door and then you're in the women's shower where teachers and students shower together. I'm not saying to get rid of it, but maybe add some private showers in their rooms?

There should be more areas to explore. I feel like a goal you should add in is having a more luxurious dorm to stay in. Maybe have a rent system where you have to pay a small amount each week to stay in it or you could have a single upfront purchase of the dorm. It could have multiple rooms and you could give keys to the girls you want freely walking around and sleeping there. If new positions are to be added, you could add some furniture animations so you can do them in different rooms with different animations for the respective furniture in those rooms.

There should be more "public" areas in the school too. Like, add a park(not the campus square. This could be used for privacy), a janitor's closet, more classrooms, etc. Just some new areas you could explore, interact with, and bring the girls.

The outside world should be explored through more than text boxes. Maybe give a city map where you can go to various places for dates, hangouts, or general wandering(for random encounters with other characters). Not all of it has to be sex oriented either. Some interactions with other hero characters or even villains would be a nice flavor touch. If you add more Marvel characters, meeting them out in public would be a good way to introduce a connection with them.

Missions should also be something you could explore. Have X-Men missions that take student volunteers for on-the-job experience once in a while for some extra money. If you feel like making those more than just some text boxes, you could use this to introduce some female villains to call from time to time. If you really want to avoid clashing "plot" of villains and heroes being too close to each other, you could have the "Brotherhood of Mutants" try to recruit you by inviting you to their hideout in the city and have it act like an villain's version of the school campus where villain girls are found. Villain girls could open the window to nice random encounters where they sneak into the main school to find you once in a while.

The game really is nice and fun. I just feel it can use a bit more depth. It doesn't NEED more depth, but it could really help it a lot in my opinion. It could also really use some music and sound effects as pure silence is not that great. You easily forget about the silence, but it'd still be nice to have something playing once in a while with some options to turn it off if you really didn't like it.

I hope you take these suggestions to heart as I think they would really help improve the game. Can't wait to see more updates in the future

I've played dating games before that were basically impossible to fail because you could just trial and error until you get the correct response. But in this game, if you say something out of line or flake a date, the girls can get seriously mad and avoid you for a while. The game isn't difficult because the character is like a chick magnet, but even still it's a game where actions have consequences.

This game's story and gameplay never progresses much, but it makes up for that in its free sandbox style. You are free to just sorta go where you want. During H scenes you can sort of do anything you want (as long as you get consent) Eventually as your relationships get more solid you can even customize the girls with their own outfits, pet names, and even behavior etc. It just has a good deal of replayability given how it's designed. And it's a game I come back to consistently.

The game isn't perfect. In terms of animation, the faces are good, but the actual love making is quite stiff. Some animations are just floating ghost hands. Some actions simply aren't animated yet. Though the animation that is there is still appreciated, and you have the visual novel text to fill in the gaps. There's also straight up no audio, I'm not expecting full voice acting or anything, but some chill ambient non-repetitive music for different times of the day or something would be just enough to spice it up. Till then, I recommend playing your own music in the background, or your own lewd sounds, either way it kinda works out.

Its flaws are pretty minor all things considered, and it's still being developed actively, so I'll be watching this game for updates. I've played this game in its earlier versions, and I've already started yet another play through on this new rewrite update. This is definitely worth a try, even if you know nothing about X-Men.

Last played version: 0.997f2

great game, plenty of girls. For me game engine is simple and easy to use. kitty my fave! The art is mostly well made, what is appealing is the amount of facial expressions . You will fall in love with this game. Currently anticipating every update, Oni!

Very solid trainer game. It is pretty much two things: woo women, and have sex scenes with women. It has a LOT of options for both, and while it can be awkward, it doesn't seem to be the kind of game that can be made unwinnable, so just learn as you go and have fun.

One bit of advice I would give: you might want to focus on leveling your character through class attendance/Danger Room training/etc. before you try wooing the various women around the academy. You can do it later, but it can be easier to level up early without having to balance it with your relationships with the various women, and the wooing/sex scenes should be easier/better once you have leveled up your abilities.

This game shows that an idea executed well knowns no engine boundary. It's old but it still stands the test of time!

The gameplay can be a bit clunky and there is too much clicking the same things over and over. And yet, it's great! Why you ask? The premise is simple and easy to immerse yourself in, the character developments are great and branches out respectably.

The art is good and gives a genuine feeling, the character progress is just simple good old fashioned fun and when you reap the rewards of sex, there's enough to satisfy for a long time.

8.5/10 Would recommend to all who like dating-sims and x-men parodies!
