VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Sorcerer [v1.0.0] [Talothral]

When i picked this game up i didn't really have high expectations but I've been pleasantly surprised as this is one of the best VN's I've played . The story is good and engaging, your choices matter and play out in the story sometimes very unexpectedly, this makes it easy to miss some parts but adds great replay value. After the first time i played through it i did another run through right away since i missed the immersion the game brought me.

If you start looking for things to knock in the game it'd be the renders and animations can be a bit clunky or grainy/unnaturally posed but it's a very minor issue overall and the dev will get better and better as he keeps going.

I'd highly recommend this game!

Thank you for your hard work bringing this gem to us!

One of my top favorite games on F95zone. I have been following this one since the initial release and have enjoyed the journey thus far.

With an incredible story plot and above average renders this one only disappoints when it comes to animations. For me the adult scenes are usually skipped over since I find the animations extremely basic.

Still overall I do not have much to complain about and do enjoy each update release.

Thank you Talothral for all your hard work invested into this project! I will continue to look forward to additional releases in the future!

Really enjoying the story so far. Love having a competent mc that's actually not a push over. Characters are well written and the dialogue is very good thus far.

If there is anything that needs improvement it's the animations. They're so bad that I wonder why you have them in the first place. In any case that's no reason to dock the score of my review as the story and everything else elevate this to five stars for me.

Keep up the great work!

Pretty disappointed in this one from the description and the overall positive reviews going in.

It's a poorly written fantasy smut with stilted dialogue, unsexy encounters, dull characters with no emotions.

Graphics and routing are unimpressive as well. Dropped.

Would be a 2 star but I always give a bonus +1 for well-implemented VNs without any garbage grind.

I love this game, it has excellent art and a very good story. The story puts your character in precarious and often morally questionable positions. Its is full of action and interesting interactions. The artwork is of very high standard and the it has a big diversity in models , from old to young and from tall to tiny. I do not often give a review but this game has certainly earned 5 stars.

This game is nice story with contemporary fantasy setting. Mixture of modern world and supernatural has always nice feel to it. Characters and their motivations are depicted well and they have certain logic behind their actions that is easy to understand.

The game is visually great, with beautiful character models and the magic effects make it seem like it is truly a force to be reckoned with. There are few places where environment could use bit more sprucing and details or decorations, but all in all pretty nice looking game.

TLDR: Intriguing story with interesting characters. Writing is entertaining and i like the renders in the game. Reviewed using 0.26.0 Extra with Shaddy's mod.

I really like the story in this game. The characters are diverse and interesting. You never know what is coming next. I'm glad they corrected some of the grammar in version 25. If you like the supernatural this should be right up your ally. The animations could use some improvement. but overall I rate this an excellent game.

Really awesome game, but I have to remind that this isn't for everyone. It has some unique characters with scenes that might be off-putting for some. It isn't my thing either but it was hot.
Now, to what really shines here: the story! If you like the Urban Fantasy genre, you can't miss this, it's really awesome. The story is original, really fresh and the characters are very interesting without the usual cliches. You'll see a real growth with the characters and they feel alive in a realistic kind of way.
There's some mysteries that keep us on our toes and we can't help but wait for the new adventures and characters that will pop up.
Now, about the renders, they're good. Not great, but quite well done and the models are hot and unique. But it's not animated, so if that's something that you need to have, forget it. Also, it's somewhat low on the sex, as the focus is the story and characters. I can only hope this gets more attention and love.

what can i say.I love this game compared to a lot of the games on this website this one updates pretty.i Love the characters.I absolutely love the magic aspect of the game i wished this site had 10 stars because i would rate a ten star if i could.

A rich, interesting story set in modern magical world.

A harem is possible there, and the girls are rather pretty.

Most of the sex scenes are not super exciting, but there are some unusual fetishes (you can take the anal virginity of an old Asian lady, bang a dwarf girl etc).

For me, the story (and its good visual depiction) is the most appealing part.

Excellent VN.

I'm normally not a fan of VNs - the large majority is too wordy for my tastes and I get bored quickly as they ramble on and I've to press "Next" 100 times before a single point is made.
Not so this VN!

The writing is well done, interesting and intelligent.
It kept me wanting to know what's next and the pacing is excellent - no boring endless clicking of "Next".
Graphics are also good and the images support the story well.

Review of v 0.23.5b...

I really like this game. A lot of work has gone into this game, and it has paid off.

The story is great. Not a lot of games I’ve seen that use the fantasy element, but this is probably the best one I’ve played. A lot of thought and creation has gone into the characters and deep lore to create the world.

The characters are good. There is a lot of diversity of character types…humans, gorgons, imps, demons. The magic effects look great as well. I also really like the auto-progressing stills that simulate character movement. Although I think they do a small bit of disservice to the lewd scenes as it makes them pass quickly.

The only real criticism I have is the script text. There are a lot of grammar and punctuation errors throughout the text. Nowhere near bad enough to confuse you, but it’s either a half ass translation or English isn’t the writer’s first language.

I would highly recommend this game. I really enjoyed it and look forward to it hopefully being finished.

Sorcerer by Talothral is one of the most unique and interesting stories I've played in a while. The cast is interesting and diverse, the game is both sexy and funny, and doesn't take itself too seriously, but has some good roots in classical lore. I recommend you give it a try~

Like like with Terminus Reach, Talothral hits this one out of the park. The world building, characterization, plotline complexity and pacing are what we have come to expect of this developer.

This visual novel is not your average quick spank dross. The beauty here is not superficial, but deep in the characters and story. Do not expect beautiful models or evocative audio, the beauty is all in the writing, just like a good book. The best praise I can give this VN is that I wish more existed like it.

Great characters, great dialogue and a fantastic story that seems to get more exciting every update.
For me, one of the top 3 games on this site.

I'm not usually a big fan of fantasy games, wizards and mystical creatures.

But after i finished the first game of the developer i gave this game a chance and played it.

what can i say?
i have rarely experienced such a gripping story in a game.

the story develops from update to update.
It gets more exciting from update to update.
New characters are added and develop.

For me, this is one of the most beautiful games here, and I can hardly wait for the latest update!

Writing is fine, story is about a dude who suddenly becomes a sorcerer. There is a lot of magic, mythical creatures, and generally unscientific mumbo jumbo all throughout. MC is an emotionless courier who has about as much personality as a piece of cardboard. The writing tries to shine him in a altruistic light but falls flat. E.g. he apparently has close to infinite money (because he is so "good") - why is he so good? Dunno, he just is. It's never shown or explained what makes him worth his cash, except for stating that he is "just that good".. Also due to him having infinite money paying for someones food at a cafe or bar is not "altruistic", it's literally less than a penny equivalent. Since he is also so good apparently there are no stakes, he can do anything and defeat everyone etc, with ease.

Audio is entirely missing. No sound effects, no music, not even background noise, or any of the sort, so be prepared for complete silence all throughout.

Characters are.. fine. Some better than others and due to the nature of the somewhat hamfisted magic everywhere a bit weird, but I didn't find them annoying at least. However a lot of the characters are also ugly (old, misfigured or looking like an Orc/Tauren) and so far my MC mostly has Scenes with characters I find unattractive. It would be better to give a player the choice which characters to persue so they can avoid the ones they find hideous.

As for the scenes themselves, straight up bottom tier. We are talking 1 or max 2 out of 5. Very boring, very short, and no fidelity at all. If you are coming for good sex-scenes, skip this.

Overall the scope/length of the game seems bigger than expected.
I'd say overall in it's sum the game is pretty average, doesn't excel at anything. I'd recommend this if it had any audio or even remotely acceptable scene-quality but alas that isn't the case.

This game could EASILY be 5 stars. The only thing holding it back is graphics/models, which rates 2 stars.

I had very low expectations coming into this game mainly because of the screenshots. I have seen the game floating on the site for months now, but had no interest in playing it and thinking it was a low-grade game with very little content. I only took the chance on it because I had played everything else I wanted.

Boy, I'm glad I was WRONG!

The game gets 5 stars on the writing, story, and characters. It hooked me until I finished to its latest point--which already has substantial contents at the moment, more so than most completed games.
If dev could improve on the models of the ladies, they could easily knock Sorcerer out of the park. As it stands none of the girls are super attractive, they are just "meh".

Excellent work, hold up to the high standards set by Terminus and offers a varied and entertaining set of characters that span a lot of different planes, magic and not magic alike. Keep up the good work!

I really like this game. The game has great story, good renders and models.

I very much apperaciate the dev. He's working very well, the updates coming really fast. He is very fond of his own game indeed, and I love this game for this.

The MC's very cool guy. The dev made him very perfect. He is a mature and uncompromising person. I like it.

The only drawback of this beautiful game is the lack of animation, hell, there is no animation at all. I think that if there was animation in this game, it could reach very high places.

I really love the game and looking forward to the every update

Wow.

I love the story. I love the character development.

I am not a fan of the animations, but they work.

Not a fan of some of the sexual partners, but the story more than makes up for it, dont change a thing. Variety is the spice of life, and you nailed it.

Not a fappable VN for me, but i imagine somewhere out there someone probably loves it. Again though, story more than makes up for it.

The "cutscenes" or transitions, not really sure what you call them, are a nice touch. Maybe animations? They really slow down the story, keeps me from fast forwarding through it and missing things.

Two points of advice:
1. Find someone good with music, not the generic stuff either, and you have something you could easily sell. Several of you scenes are dramatic enough that some sounds would really enhance. Dont go overboard though.
2. Story plots, dont make them too easy. Loss, or negative emotions are useful to make the highs seems higher, or vice versa. I know it sucks to spend all that time developing a character, and you get attached, just dont forget, they are tools for your plot, to make your plot better. Dont be afraid to kill off a character to really drive home how dangerous what they are doing is. Or maybe not kill, but really hurt. When the MC always wins unscathed, it gets tiresome.

Love it.

I am "patiently" waiting the next update.

Thanks for sharing your hard work. Congrats on your success.
