Ren'Py - The Goddess' Champion [v0.3] [Caracas]

Solid amount of content for a game not a year into development. Models are solid, as is the setting.

There are some spelling mistakes. There is minor pointless grind.

The bigges knock is the lack of depth. Basically you have enough stats from grinding, you auto win, pipe the girl, and move on. Minimal to zero background on any of the characters, making it all kind of "meh" - its just hard to get invested in. Player choice doesnt exist so far

There is also a game breaking bug if you visit the farmer in your estate

As of v 0.1.5:

This is actually a very fun game with a decent amount of content. Considering where it's at right now, I think it deserves 5 stars, and I will explain why:

Artwork/Animations - 4.5/5

So I actually like the designs of the girls quite a bit. They're very cute, and the scenes are done well. I am taking off half a point because in the scenes in a lot of places, the hands of the characters don't make contact with the body. It's a little distracting but not horribly off-putting; I do think the dev needs to go back and fix this. Other than that, very good.

Storyline/Dialogue - 5/5

It's nothing complex, but still well-written and fits the game very well. It also fits that the H scenes come pretty quickly without being forced. The dialogue is very well done, which is a big deal for me.

Gameplay/UI - 4/5

So I am taking off a point probably because it's pretty early. A lot of stuff you have to buy is really costly, and if you get it too early, I think it bugs the game out at the end of the content. A lot of stuff is repeatable when it shouldn't be, and I don't know if this messes anything up. Hopefully this is all addressed in the next update.

That being said, it's not grindy. Gameplay is smooth, navigation isn't complicated, stats aren't terribly hard to come back. It makes you earn scenes without being ridiculously grindy.

In short, as of this update, it's got great potential and good content. Some things need to be fixed, and hopefully the dev can address some of it (should they choose to) down the road.

Cheers!

Review for v0.1.5

A Final Fantasy 14 inspired sandbox RPG that plays like a fuck fest harem builder. I feel it's a truly average game so far, as it does nothing really outstanding nor atrocious.

The writing has a very simple and less serious tone. You're on some isolated island living as a spellblade, the goddess of love pops into your head to tell you you're her chosen champion, she gives you the ability to teleport around the continent among a bunch of other powers, tells you to "go register at the guild and do quests!" and that's pretty much the game.

There's apparently widely accepted knowledge about the champion of love, so essentially every task you do ends with you revealing who you are to a girl and then they just agree to have sex with you. Almost systematic. Do one more quest for them an they're ready to move in, provided you grind out 5000 gold to buy a spot for them at your home. You have sex with women and get stat boosts from it as well as "lust power coins" that let you buy abilities from a shop.

Judging it as an RPG, it's fairly boring. Given the writings simple nature, most quests are uninteresting, lots of the fights aren't rendered out, you just click buttons over and over to raise stats and get money, the little exploration segments don't actually give you anything worth exploring for, and any "difficult" encounters are just stat checks. Also the UI is awful, but I figure that's placeholder.

I think some of the character designs are hit or miss in that some feel bland, but the animations are pretty decent. A rare game that actually separates music and sex sounds too which is nice. Seems like it might be alright to turn your brain off to, but you won't get invested in much of this as of this version.

Review for 0.1.5
I have to say, this is a very good RPG game with great potentials. There are no complicated puzzles nor mazes, but great sex scenes with cute girls. So far, not much content, but still fun.
There are Bugs about repeatedly showing the one-time vampire quest and recruiting girls quests.
Looking forwards to more content.
