HTML - Shady Deals [v0.7.2] [Kroo]

This game has a level of difficulty that simply makes it unenjoyable. Just when you believe you are making progress and can get to the next part of the story it sends your finances into the abyss. Like even with single digit levels of "heat" your crew is systematically locked up turn after turn with no realistic way to recover them. This creates a stupid amount of churn and repetitive grinding and you have to re-train and re-assign gang members constantly. After 5 straight hours I felt like I had barely accomplished anything all the while I was doing the same actions, and viewing the same scenes the entire time. It certainly has depth and the potential for variety but with how it is currently balanced it's one of the biggest grinds for an adult game I have ever seen.

Surprisingly fun game in management genre.

Can create different band types, do different illegal activities (selling drugs, thievery, racing, pimping and so on). All with different aproaches to the problems, including, of course, kinky one.

I personally like how kind of difficult game is, yet dont punish player too harsh for anything and let you learn about mechanics and word in own pace. Passives from different activities also provides nice buffs, so try to do everything for a bit. It helps that mini-games also quite fun.

Porn is alright here, with good amount of gifs and situations. Wish there is more variations and passives from them in general, hope game expand in this department too.

For what i dont liked: interface is clunky at times, sandbox activities is not so many to keep you entertaining and band/house management in very limited. Cant interact in fun ways, every npc is feels the same and random events just too rare and too few.

So first of all, when I played the first version of the game, I was already amazed with the depth of game mechanics and the sheer amount of content. With each update, the game was becoming amazing. That already made it a top tier game for me.

But the recent 0.4 update killed my hype for the game now it has introduced absolute debuffs like Heat. That means in the future more debuff mechanism to make the game more difficult will be introduced. So I can give my rating upto 0.3 version of the game. Because after this I won't be playing this game as the Dev wants to introduce more difficulty inducing mechanisms. Because playing with a save where I already conquered all gangs, the heat generated each day was close to 90%. This much of debuff is just not fun to play with.

So I gave my rating for this game as of 0.3 but the debufs introduced with 0.4 means I will no longer be playing this game. All the best to the Dev and hope their future plans become more expansive. But for me upto 0.3, this game was amazing.

An excellent game, even at this stage of development. Lots of content, with a narrative beyond stat-grinding. Needs a bit work in terms of accessibility when it comes to cargo management, though. Will definitely look forward to new updates

This is a great game. For everyone that likes a rachs to riches, life sim, management game, this is a must play. The game is easy enough to understand. You never feel like you have to grind to much to advance in the game, even though I wouldn't mind a little more grind. It has a sort of guide, more like a checklist, but you don't have to constantly check it. Just start exploring the locations and you'll find everything you need in the game.

The only thing for me is that it lacks content with actual non random side characters. There is sexual content in the game ofcourse, but it is all with just random NPC's. I would like more content sexual or not with the other gangbosses or other more prominent characters. I would also like more significant characters in general, actual characters with actual stories and different looks and personalities. Not just the random generated names that you recruit in your gang.

What I would like to see in the game:

- More grind for more and bigger rewards.
- (Sexual) content with significant characters
- More Sexual content in general
- More significant characters in general
- More backstory and storytelling in general

It is a great game and I'm looking forward to the next updates

+ Lots of content (and this is only version 0.1!).
+ Decent gameplay.
+ Few bugs, haven't seen any fatal bugs at all.
+ Normal design.

- Some scenes need more detailed text description.
- Unrealistic (come on, this is porn!).

I give it 5 stars (but in advance, with great hope for a continuation).
Good luck and all the best.)

I've been wanting a female crime boss game like this for years, and Shady Deals delivers.
Writing is great
Real porn is used but not overused
Gameplay loop is fairly easy to grasp but increases in complexity
UI is what you are used to from a HTML game but well executed
SO MUCH content for an initial release
No broken links, images or bugs encountered so far
If I had to find something to complain about it would be that it seems to impossible to have a female gang, which would be fun. But that is a very minor nitpick in what is easily the most well developed and content rich first release of a HTML game I've ever played

Holy fuck! How is this only a first release? It already has more content than most games that have been updated for years! Lots of skills, lots of ways to make money and also lots of sex. Great stuff and I hope we shall see a lot more of this game
