Ren'Py - Takei's Journey [v0.24.1 Part 1] [Ferrum]

Naruto is by far my favorite anime and as such, I've played every single porn parody of it and this by far is my favorite.


This game's greatest strengths are at points where you expect the game to be subpar. For example, as an anime and Naruto lover I was sure I would hate the fact that this game uses 3d models, but I love it. The character models look exactly as their anime counterparts and almost feel 2d to boot.

Next seeing the lack of popularity for this game opposed to other parody games like Jikage Rising I was sure this game had a series flaw like not resembling the anime in terms of personality, also not true all the main characters from Sakura to Hinata talk and act as their anime counterparts would act (within reason, this is a porn game after all), but it was believable and not some Naruto character look-a-likes that acted completely different.

(At this point I should mention there is one scene in the beginning between Naruto and Sasuke which felt off, but since its such a small and brief scene with no real importance or focus of the game, it doesn't deduct a star)

Finally, I love the lust-love route that this game is. As a lover of corruption games I've seen all to often when the corruption goes to far and all that's left of the original girl is a whore-pig that only lives to get fucked, however, this game goes more lust-love corruption, in which they in the end still want to fuck you (though not as intensely as a corruption-slut) but still retain their original personality, which I think is crucial to parody games, since the personality and looks is what ties any game to the original anime. Not to mention that the story is coherent and logical (as far as porn games go at least)

For any person who enjoys lust-love corruption, your gonna enjoy this game, and for any naruto fan your gonna love this game, so definitely check it out.

As a Naruto fan I enjoyed this game a little, the sex scenes were pretty hot and I got some nice fap material from the girls, the game is a bit more grindy than I would like and I've ended up getting lost a few times and had to look at a walkthrough, there was also the combat system which feels a bit like RNG, also not a judgement on the game itself but more of a personal thing but there were times when the game reminds me that I'm are essentially cucking some of my favorite characters which ended up giving me weird mixed feelings, also not sure if I care for the MC or not since sometimes he seems nice and other times he comes across as an unlikeable pervert (I know that this is a hentai game), I should probably play the game more to form a real opinion but overall so far I give the game a 3/5 "it was ok" review.
Update: After playing further I am finding myself liking the main character less and less.

Version Played:0.70
Time Played: 4 hours (some spent clicking around not knowing what the next trigger was)
Completed version: Yes

Full disclosure: I know next to nothing about either Naruto or Boruto, but discovered this while looking for more Koikatsu games to change my opinion of it. A quick look at the manga/anime shows how Koikatsu really shines since the characters are spot on. The story is also sensical and easy to follow, though I cannot comment on how plausible it would be within the Naruto universe.

Positives
+ Characters are (mostly) accurate to their manga/anime looks and I would assume/hope their personalities
+ Progression, while on the slows-side makes sense and is fairly spicy
+ Story actually has stakes and progression

Negatives
- A bit one note/grindy (you will be doing the same thing a lot just to raise relationship values. On that note, if you get stuck, it is 100% cuz you haven't raised someone's relationship value)
- English is clearly not the creator's native language, but I was never left scratching my head trying to figure out what was being said
- No bush

Overall, I don't think this game is going to change anyone's mind about anything in regards to Koikatsu or Naruto, but as someone who watched a lot of animu growing up and dreamed of railing a lot of the ladies, this is probably a straight down the middle strike for fans of the IP.

2.5 for me, rounded to a three, but you can probably add a star if you like Naruto.

Note to Devs: Thanks for the game!

I'd say 3.5 stars. Really the only bad thing is that it's a bit grindy for no good reason. Thankfully you can just enable "skip after choices" in dialog to make the grind fast, but at that point you are just clicking a, b, c, repeat to grind some numbers.

The story is okay, although it could get through the intro a bit faster imo.

What the game does good to me is H content, when you get it. The girls are just koikatsu models, but koikatsu looks good. Animations are video captures from the game. It's good. Not great, but good. Dialog within is good, things look like they're heating up though so I expect even better.

To improve, maybe some better, more upbeat music in some locations. Also, drop the grind down by reducing the number of times needed to repeat an action, and making the times you do have to repeat it have something different about them (different dialog, images, etc). Also, obviously more content.

How bad the story is, not to mention the personality of the characters in the series and the main character has the charisma of a rock: v but hey, there is something that is more or less well and it is the renders that have quality: v

Story: The game has generic a history about being the only man left but the way it's played makes it good. The characters don't feel like they are there just to be fuck toys and their actions make sense with their "original" persona. The original characters are not bad either, they look interesting, especially the villain.

Renders: This may be the best part of the game, every single character looks beautiful and the ones that didn't look before in Launch, look good now (I'm looking at you Wasabi), also, even the main character looks good which is something rare to Koikatsu games...

Other things I like are the animations and the combat system. The animations are good and the girls look really hot at them!
The fighting system is interesting and it's a plus for a porn game in my opinion.

What could improve: The game has some grinding, nothing too serious but I feel we do more griding in the beginning when there are only 4 characters to interact with, which can lead to new players getting bored, but after some minutes with new characters to interact, this don't feel like a problem.

yamanaka flower shop get a dialogue with ino mind check up get relationship point

tenten's shop spend time with tenten get a dialogue with tenten
get relationship point

If you think repeating this to get relationship is bad
But wait there's more
you do the same with your landlandy hang out get relationship points

Then you have training with namida train ninjutsu get another dialogue and relationship points and 1 ninjutsu point wich just seems having no real use

Renders: not bad
Story : what story ?
no bugs
there are better naruto parody games like this

I found the game very fun, it has a lot of anticipation, but it increases the horniness. I think the only serious defect is not having an ''end'' warning, I spent 30 minutes ''upgrading'' the character thinking I would unlock a password and they could add a gallery
graphic: 9:10
plot:10/10
10/10 characters (very cool to bring parody of boruto)
gameplay 8/10
general: 9/10

Huge fan of the series. Animation quality is good. Only cons (as of right now v0.4) are the game is short and quite tedious at some points. Getting the love points for each character can be a grind at some time.

Loved playing this the design and artwork are top notch and some of the attention to detail and humor is superb! I'm a big fan of Naruto and have grown up watching the Anime so I truly appreciate projects like this with a passion. However there were several major issues that greatly impacted the gaming experience. The largest issue being no tracking of the MC's stats, when 80% of the game is spent grinding out training with Hinata or others at the academy to raise Jutsu control etc.

Why grind out training and everything if no way to track strength of character especially against certain people in missions you will need to be a certain level for. There was zero guidance for triggering an event and i had to go through 30 different days before something happened. Lots of characters were introduced with zero content and also there was a bug with Sakura where her relationship points wouldn't go above 4 out of 6 points no matter how many times i spent time with her.

Another thing I believe would help is removing the options to spend time with someone after you have maxed out all available relationship points. Perhaps you could go back to redo a scene but all in all this was alot of just grinding for no reason.

I waiting on next upgrade... It is fun to game but it is really short now... And meaby autor can use more charakters like himawari... or some other girls... I was stack in one moment, some evets are repetetive but over all this game have potencional I wanna more of it

New game review, in the beginning this game seemed to be interesting but now it's totally scary, it was one of the worst naruto porn parodies in terms of story development.

It takes place within the world of Naruto, but it's not literally a Naruto game and you're not playing as Naruto or anyone you know from the Naruto universe. You are controlling the MC indicated by the DEV, which is from Tanzaku Quarters and also known as ''Takei Clan'', where the game starts to sin because the mc is ridiculous, weak, depraved with horrible appearance, I hate the model for the MC .

There are many games that chose some innit, but there is a split choice whether he will be a good or bad protagonist, but this guy is just a badass villain... what's the point of the villain that lives inside your head then?

The "gameplay" sucks, the walkthrough is confusing and not very intuitive, and the fighting minigame is boring. I don't even mind when the games are dirty, usually. But this game is next level grindy. You have to replay training events literally dozens of times just to get to the next cutscene.

Some of the characters only have "trash Talk" Sarada is one of them, with tsundere temper outburst.
I couldn't tank your comments or event, I just skipped them all, Temari with that phrase "Put it in the right place!" like I was some kind of dog or whatever.

Apart from these annoyances, the models seem to be interesting and faithful but the appearance of the mc was one of the worst.

As a fan of the series I'm grateful that there are games with Naruto/Boruto characters even with Koikatu graphics, however the first 3 minutes are nonsense, Sasuke keeps saying loser to Naruto and Naruto has a shitty attitude towards him, it doesn't feel natural, in the series they don't behave like that, I know it's a porn parody but every parody has its logic, this one at least at the beginning doesn't have it.
When the "villain" appears the plot takes an interesting turn and apparently the good stuff starts, maybe if at the beginning the conversation was more nostalgic and less offensive (offensive in the childish sense, like you are a poop eater or something like that) it would be much better, it doesn't help Sasuke to call Naruto a loser all the time, he said it in practically every sentence.


PROS:
*The main characters I think are well done, they're not perfect but they're okay, although the landlady/mom I don't like at all, she looks too generic.
*The MC is ok, I don't dislike it like in the other games made with Koikatu.
*The story, despite being the typical "you're the only man left", is well thought out and enjoyable.
*Game for fans, a good one I must say.
*The "power" given to the MC is enjoyable and gives a lot of play to a future to practically be with any female character.
*It has an incredible potential, I hope it doesn't fail.

CONS:
*The beginning of the story, I find it almost disrespectful to the fans as the conversation and how Naruto and Sasuke get along is unnatural.
*The lack of animations, although it is understood that it is just the beginning, they are few.
*The game gives you a choice of what to call the Landlady, but if you decide to leave her as Landlady there are phrases that don't make sense as they don't belong to what a Landlady would say.
*The proportions of some characters look veeeery strange.

So far I'm liking the game, I'm looking forward to seeing content from Sarada and Hanabi, they are my favorites.
In the future you could implement a kind of "dark patch" for Himawari content or adult characters that use a jutsu to regain a child appearance.
In short, it is an excellent start, I believe that if you continue like this you will undoubtedly gain more fame and many more people will support you, there are just a few things to polish up, best of luck!
