VN - Ren'Py - The King of Summer [v0.5.14-full] [No Try Studios]

This is an alright game, with some hot scenes, I would give it 3.5/5. I will focus in the review on most obvious flaws that make the game worse.

1. Mountains of text, excessive chatter that you have to go through easily becomes unbearable. The worst part is not the bloat/excessive amount of dialogues, but the way it is paced around. You click a button you get 1 word, you click a button again, you get another word. Game turns into never ending clickfest, which will make a lot of players not willing to sit for 20 hours, to press skip button, and skip most of the story content.

2. Hypertrophying of a cuck, which turns this more into a satire. "Cuck MC" has like a 8cm member, when his uncle "real MC" has like 30cm member. Same or even more with other dimensions. This does not make the story better, it just makes it more comical, less believable.

3. Models. While some models seem to be fairly decent (Erin) e.t.c, some are incredible annoying. Blue haired, 2 massive tits, no eyes, it just look ridiculous.

4. The stat model feels a bit wrong, as to grow MC "manliness" stat you have to F everything that moves. It does not make it possible to skip interaction with annoying ugly girl you don't want to deal with, and when you add that those interactions have tens of thousands of pointless chatter lines, that take a dozen of minutes to skip through and you are forced to see all that it is all worse.

5. Animations and art for most part are below average for this day and time.

If the game was meant to be a harem style with many heroines, then a choice should be made available.

If you're into NTRI and harems I highly recommend this game. However, I personally am a NTR fan and it does not appeal to me.

Story:
It's a very slow burn, but I don't think it pays off in the end. There's too many girls for this story to be fun. It leans closers to harem type game rather than NTR and it lacks an overall emotional masochistic payout that I look for in most NTR games. I think each girl had their own game or chapter, it might be more enjoyable, but I can't enjoy it like this.

Gameplay:
You click to go from different places on a map. None of the characters feel like real people, and it's kind of exhausting having to initiate every relationship on your own. I wish there was a cuck mode where we could instead maybe find FMC getting fucked rather than us fucking everyone.

Overall:
Game is still good, art is nice enough, I feel like a lot of the FMCs' models are reused which makes it a little repetitive. The uncle is supposed to be this old man stud, but I'm not entirely sold on that based on his model.

The game is everything you really want from an NTR themed game, the story is having fun stealing women, and is very straight forward you take what you want and that's the end of it. Sometimes simple is perfectly fine. The art and animation although I am told it is done in an engine where that kinda stuff is basic and "easy" still looks great and goes hand in hand with the great sound, and the themes are obviously everything you really need. Swinging, cucking and cheating with different MC bulls that have fun with the main women, along with some side characters as well. I have no faults with this game there are plenty of scenes, a gallery if you don't care about the basic story, and full conversations and lengthy scenes if you do. One of the favorites and best out there for sure. 5/5

edit: The story is starting to dip for me now that I am paying more and more attention to it. From the bull(s ) taking turns cucking each other, to the ladies of the game taking major 180s and changing completely for the males they take an interest in, it's really starting to feel like porn plot with no build up and suspense. I personally think the game is pretty much done and the current "plot points" are what if scenarios, where bulls get cucked, cucks pimp out their "partners" and swinging is everywhere. Still really like the game, I guess its faults are becoming more glaring for me now.

First thing that comes to my mind is "Overstayed its welcome". The first 20 updates were pretty decent. Generic but passable characters with a generic but passable story and good art and animations.

Now the only thing that has changed are the characters and story, both of which are worse than they were. Art and animations are still good, but as a VN it has become really stale.

Only worth it if you unlock the gallery and avoid everything else.

I love this game. It has much content and is a very slow but satisfying burn.
Only critic I have is that it takes your girlfriend and uncle wayy to long to actually haxe sex.
itd been awesome if they did it for a whole while behind thesatoshis back.

I've followed this game since it first released many moons ago and have seen it grow from strength to strength, now that it's nearing it's end if feels like the right time for me to give some thoughts.

Firstly, I appreciate that NTR is a divisive genre and not every game is going to go exactly as you imagined it, but I don't think that merits giving a game as strong as this a 1 star review.

Anyway, enough with what others have said, this game has one of the biggest galleries I've seen, it's packed full of scenes that, in this mans opinion, hit every NTR beat you could want. The characters are hot, the scenes are hot and the dialogue... you guessed it, hot!

Can the story be silly at times? Sure, but lets be real, this is a porn game not war and piece. Personally I've felt the writing has gotten better as the game progressed and clearly the Dev feels the same way as little tweaks have been made in the early game to help sell the story.

I'm not a massive fan of Satoshi, the games protagonist (if you can call him that). I'm fairly sure your not meant to really like him anyway it only makes it that much more enjoyable when he gets NTR'd.

I think my only real criticism is that the corruption of characters maybe happens a little too fast but at the same time, this game isn't trying to be a slow burn NTR game, it knows what it is and does not waste time in giving you the good stuff with enough story to add flavour to it's scenes.

I personally don't know of many sandbox NTR games but this to me feels like something different, a glorious ensemble NTR melodrama that will scratch whatever NTR itch you might have.

The King of Summer [v0.4.21-full]

It was pretty good game with passable story, but it's overstayed its welcome.
"Too much of" that it got boring and drawn out, "mish-mash" of many things. It wasted ALL good fate I had for this one. If you really want to see the scenes, it won't be easy with these dregs of sandbox, just skip everything and don't bother reading. It's so f dumb.

Story - 1-2,7/5. Whatever.
Choices - 1.5/5. Sometimes you can chose "do or do not".
Gameplay - 1/5. Almost fully kinetic sandbox. ugggghhh...
Characters - 1.4/5. Who cares at this point. They were flat, they stayed flat.
Models/animations - 3/5. Pretty good
Grammar - 3/5. Eh, whatever.

Game was so good in the beginning and mid way through. But just like any NTR series, they start add things that throw off the original main plot. The shoe horn of the unnecessary villain that takes away from the uncle and the nephew complex just so out of nowhere. Why can't it just be the uncle and the nephew. The uncle is already the original villain, bad guy or anti hero. Now this new villain gets a full path? Might as well give the MC a full path too. Just stupid and completely defeats the plot. Waste of time and resources.

The side quest are sub par but some thing fizzle out become kind of dumb too. Cuckold is cool and all but the wife runs back to the husband and the uncle doesn't keep the girl in the end? The daughter just goes on like nothing happens and continued to be around the dad, and the uncle doesn't keep her either. The workers all go back to their boyfriend. Nothing else happens, uncle no keep. So much for this king collecting his group of girls. Completely loses the original plot doing too much stuff but not exclamation marking anything.

And what is this anticlimactic ending. At no point is their a scene where at the Uncle bust a nuts and proclaim the MCG her pregnancy. At least give us a hot scene where he does, and the girls says I am not on pill, proclaiming she wants to be impregnated, beg to be impregnated or something like that. Just a photo and here I am pregnant to MC. What? That is it? Come on man. Ending was weak as heck.

However the animation are god tier and some of the best. 4 out 5 solely on the Uncle and Nephew plus the better part of the side quest. Literally a 3 out 5 with all the extra BS not really needed in the game taking away from the Uncle and Nephew overall. And a 1 out 5 with the force villain that was not needed. That needs to be remove from the story and game all together. Because of that, this game is a 2.

I´ve played this game since it was in an pretty early stage. If you came here to fap, well, the game has over 100 scenes, i´m sure you will find what you´re looking for. It has a decent amount of characters, not too many and not too little all of theam with their own unique traits.
If you have some more free time and try to read, then you will realize that all the mc are complex characters, There is not a 100% good and a 100% evil character, each one has their past, ther way of seeing things, their goals and their own personality. So a single action of one character may have positive and negative consequences at the same time, there is not a pure good or bad action. So it may be confusing to understand the characters if you try to find a guilty or responsible for the things that happen

I must add; The game is ntr focused, it´s the main plot, it is UNAVOIDABLE and you´ll see it a lot. If you have a personal grudge with infidelity , If you tend to emphasize a lot with the characters and feel bad with injustices or non ethical behaviour then you should reconsider playing this game. But know that you will find those things, so don't be shocked when things happens

I believe the thick part of the game has already been developed(just my opinnion). Most of what´s left are the endings, You could say it´s 85% completed.

I am a huge fan of NTR games. I love the corruption aspect of a woman cheating on their significant other, of being seduced and enticed into giving into their desires, of doing something they know is wrong because it feels too good not to. So I downloaded this 4.5 gb monster of an AVN and sat down to give it a go. Here's my experiences playing it.
Story: 0/10
What can I say about King of Summer? It is the timeless tale of the seduction of a mentally handicapped, green-haired woman by her boyfriend's uncle during a 7-month stay at a beach resort. I know what you're thinking, how can someone seduce a mentally handicapped woman? Easy! By lifting her up in the pool once per day for 2 or 3 days in a row! That's all it takes to get her to bring you back to her hotel room and start handing out bj's like they're after-dinner mints. (No, I'm not joking. Yes, that's really what happens in the game).
Mechanics: 0/10
There's nothing like a good old sandbox to make a player feel like they're immersed in a world where they can decide what happens! Unless, of course, that sandbox consists of the same events repeated over and over to 'grind' your arbitrary manliness stat up to the level needed to see the next scene. That would just make the whole sandbox thing a pointless time-sink designed to do nothing more than stretch out content to give the game the appearance of having a lot of content without the actual substance.
But whatever, I play video games all the time! I once spent 30 hours leveling my party in Final Fantasy! What really matters are the choices. I get to decide the course of the story, that's what VN's are all about, brah!
Yea... yea, in theory that's true. But have you considered how much better it would be to have the illusion of choice? Just think - I'll give you 3 options, and 2 of them will do nothing but loop back to the same 3 options. You can choose your own path as many times as you like (until you make the singular choice I want, which will move the story forward). Isn't that way better???
Totally, brah!
(yes that's really how the game works. You can spend the equivalent in-game of a full decade of choosing "take a nap" and never see a single new scene. I guess the universe blinks out of existence whenever the boyfriend closes his eyes. Ironically, if that were the case, it would have improved the story greatly)
Visuals: 5/10
I can't create art for shit, so I don't bag on the graphics unless they're truly eye-gouging. These are fine. Anime/manga characters aren't particularly hot to me, but I don't think they are grotesque.... except for the penises, which let's be honest, look pretty silly in real life, too, so who among us has any room to talk?
Overall: 3/10
This game misses the mark. There's next-to-no build up. You never have the sense that the mentally handicapped girl cares about her boyfriend at all. From the very beginning, it seems like she's only with him for the free trip to the beach, so the whole "NTR" aspect doesn't land at all. The supposedly 'old' uncle looks younger than I did when I was 25. There's is nothing at all in this plot that makes you interested in seeing what happens next, because the mentally handicapped girl isn't intellectually equipped to have any cognizance of being corrupted. The boyfriend is given no personality and almost no screen time, so there's none of the 'agony of loss' NTR is meant to evoke.

So, right off the bat, this game is great. It's pretty top tier with this animation style, the content is enjoyable, and it's earned a plethora of nuts from myself alone. HOWEVER there is extreme amount of unavoidable clipping in the animations which is fairly off-putting and some of the deformations are nonsense like when blowing how women's lips deform in a weird duckbill. The game is comedy gold in some of the animations, like when someone is fingering a woman and their hand moves a foot while their fingers clip into the pussy, or when people are just jumping comically up and down on a dick in a way that looks like a game from Newgrounds circa 2004.

It's not bad. Definitely has some ramp up before all the fuckin', but the animations don't use Kplug and seeing a penis go into closed vajajas is not hot. There's a lot of content and some scene hunting which adds mystery but overall the story needed to slow down the scenes better. Worth a fap, but the NTR isn't that great, i thin the uncle is too likeable.

First review on the site. Wasn't expecting much going into this, but some of the girls looks rather alluring even tho they're very Koikatsu based. Also not really a fan of NTR either, but it's much better than cuckhold which does exist in this game, but at least Kendo, who is the main NTR-man in this story does have the bigger spotlight and interactions with most of the heroines.

So anyway moving on to the actual game itself, the story is very much focused on character interactions, but in order to win a girl's heart before you eventually could seal the deal (mainly as Kendo), it will take a long time and further progression to another scene and story route. This does make the progression feel too linear sometimes and it might not be so bad to some people, but i do prefer if there's a way to just focus on one girl at a time.

I do always appreciate a slow buildup like this, even tho the girls seem rather easy to win over and mainly because Kendo apparently just ends up being their ideal type despite the looks of an UB. I know the game does have an unavoidable NTR as stated, but the addition of the Arato route as a way to have another "NTR-man" just ruined the experience for me in some parts, especially since there's no way you can avoid that route to progress the main story and without letting him do Mary (the green haired main heroine).

It's even more of a big missed opportunity that there's no route where Kendo could also conquer Shizuka (Arato's girlfriend) as a payback, not considering how i really like her a lot. But who knows? Maybe the dev will eventually add that option in the future which i would highly appreciate.

Gameplay wise, the sandbox segment is very barebone since it's really all about finding which girl you can interact and where to progress the story. The progression is very linear down to the character interaction too, for example how there's almost 0 dialogue options to shape the protagonists personality because they already have a fixed script / role to follow. There are some crucial choices that you can make, but it's more of a way to pick which route you want to take.

My biggest compliment is easily the content scope. Despite having a lot of story and character interactions, i was hella surprised when seeing the number of scenes that you can pursue in this game. There are tons, i mean TONS of them that it could take days or maybe weeks for some people to finally get to enjoy all the content that is currently available.

But anyway it's been enjoyable, and specifically for a game with a strong Koikatsu-based style that might seem cheap cause of how many there are when going through the library on this site, King of Summer in my opinion is definitely one of the best alongside some of my other favorites like My Maid Dreams of Electric Sheep and Goddesses' Whim.

4/5 (might even bump the score if they're finally adding Shizuka to Kendo harem)

Dev seems to have given up and the story got kinda lazy. Not really even NTR anymore. Way too much harem focus and not enough Arato. Doing way too much with the dialogue. However there is still a lot of good. Very good renders and corruption just kinda misses with the endings. His other games are better.

i been looking for a good koikatsu NTR game since i played that SAO NTR game, thankfull i found this game.... Goddamn this is a really good NTR. if you into thit shit you need to play this one.
Is not slow but is not an immediate fuckfest either. The tension and the NTR build is really good between the gf and the ntrman.
Good scenarios , some scenes have a great POV perspective of the MC as he is about to cath them fcking but something gets in the way, great animations and the H-writting is pretty decent.
If you want a good NTR but not one that fuck your soul and scar your brain then this one gets the job done.... besides a FCKTON of content. i dont really care about the sidegirls but the FMC content is fcking fantastic.


Btw special thanks to Yamakasi20 down here on the reviews section becuase i was about to pass on this game then read his review and give this hidden jewel of a game a chance. Thanks man.

I'll try to be short on this, because I realized there are simply too many bad things to name about this game, that I would of ended up creating a list longer than the ones they make in the TAX office. The only reason I'm giving it a 5/10 (Average) is because even if you skip all the dialogue, it's good fap material.

*Please note, I DO in fact know that this is a strictly NTR game, and I DO realize that the whole point of this game is to see the lover getting stolen by another male.


Satoshi - He's a kid.

He lacks a lot of masculinity, but he is still young. He has a lot of years ahead of him to gain some balls, and man up.

He also lacks a lot of social smarts. He may be book smart, but he ain't ready for the world.

I honestly felt sorry for him, because the writer does him very dirty, and that was not the intention I had when playing a Netorare game.

Also, even an idiot can tell that the writer is controlling Satoshi too much, too, too much. To the point that he doesn't even feel real within his own story.

Mary - She's an idiot, let's be very clear about this, she's a fucking idiot, and I can't say it enough.

She goes from slutty to a nymphomaniac extremely quick.

She disrespects her boyfriend a lot, from the very beginning, and then claims she "loves" him, and she knows she's disrespecting her boyfriend, but she acts as if she doesn't know she's doing that.

She does a lot of bad things that would devastate any man who would be in a relationship with her. Any woman with the slightest of intellect would of known this... except for Mary. Yet, she constantly goes around saying that she "doesn't" want to hurt her boyfriend.

This girl got NTR'd very fast, and very easily for someone who claims she "loves" her boyfriend very much.

The whole agenda, of "Innocent" & "loving" girl that the writer tried so hard to implement for her, it goes to shit with all the cheating she does with little to no effort from the Uncle.

She always claims she "loves" her boyfriend, yet, the moment she sees a big dick she falls in love with it. No mind control, no magic, no super powers, no blackmailing, no threatening, no pheromones of any sorts, just a visual image of a big dick. And she goes from "I love my boyfriend" to "I love this big dick more than my boyfriend".

Kendo - What an absolute douchebag.

This guy would of been dead long before he saw his 30's in the real world.

I get that he is the main character that does the Netorare, but his dialogue is infuriating.

The writer did us very dirty by giving him dialogue which speaks about morals, society standards, what a real man is, how a boyfriend/husband should treat his woman, and relationship advices.
This dude shouldn't even be allowed to speak about any of these subjects, even as a joke. If he didn't have these dialogues, and he was a straight out fucking idiot driven by the mind of his dick, instead of his brain, he would of been a much, much better character.
But, because he speaks about all these things he shouldn't be speaking about, it makes you want to kill him, literally.

I hate this MF, to the point that his life would be in danger if he was around me. Not because he stole someone's woman, I don't give a shit about that, but because of the things he thinks he has the right to talk about, and his attitude.

Kendo is a perfect example of having a real life pedophile talking in public about how a man should treat a minor, let's see how long he'd last. That's exactly how Kendo is writen.


I won't speak about the other characters as they are kinda irrelevenat in my opinion.


The game it self.

This game has a fuck ton of dialogue which is useless in my opinion, but I guess some people enjoy the long dialogues.

The story is mediocre, but you can tell that the writer is trying his/her hardest to deliver a good story. Despite him/her trying hard though, there are too many times where logic, and common sense simply vanish.

You can also tell that the writer is controlling the story too much, this brakes immersion. I get that the writer 'does' in fact control the story since it's coming from his/her imagination, but a good story feels as if the story was writen by it self, you never get to feel the writers touch on it, and I'm saying this because normally, when you read a good story, you say, "What's next? What's next?", instead of "What is he/she gonna do next?" ("He/she", meaning the writer).


Overall, and to end this, because I feel like it's dragged on too long.

This seems like a story driven game, and it feels like it want's to be a story driven game, but in my honest opinion, it's a fap game first and foremost. Simply because the story lacks plenty of common sense, and intellect.

A pretty decent little game, but honestly it feels long in the tooth. You have a couple core characters- a frail, boring young man with a lot of hang-ups, his unfeasibly curvy girlfriend, and the boy's uncle, a middle aged rascal with a heart of gold and a dick the size of a forearm. The love triangle between the three is interesting if you're into that, where there's stakes, tension and conflict. The girl is an athlete with an intense libido and her nebbish boyfriend is sweet to her but can't keep up physically. The uncle is more her pace. This leads to infidelity that doesn't just dive straight into it, but has a lot of authentic feeling push and pull. Both the girlfriend and uncle are attracted to each other but genuinely don't want to disregard the cuckee's emotional wellbeing. They basically still do should you choose it (which is the obvious intended route), but the effort makes the characters more sympathetic and realized instead of them just being awful bastards.

But after a while, it goes sideways because there's not enough gas to make this story last as long as it does. Eventually you can make a choice of who the female lead goes for, and it should kinda end there. But it doesn't, it persists. A bunch of other characters start to get introduced, and the conflicts tend to get dull. A swinger couple, a shy girl with even bigger tits who has an overproductive dad. A bad boy who also cucks the frail young boyfriend.

The problem is while the characters are nicely written, it lacks a through-line plot that these romantic/sexual relationships can center around, that can introduce new situations, twists or conflicts, or escalate existing ones. Everyone's just hanging out at a resort and fucking in various arrangements. The framing device feels like a reality TV show. In a game like this the "will they or won't they" question is rather moot. They will. That's why it's important to create some other point of tension in the story. Because once the tension of when will characters fuck is resolved, it gets dull and repetetive. It's why a paradise-style setting is a trap. Everyone is relaxing and running around in various states of undress, but that's all they do.

In terms of gameplay, it's a visual novel where you obstensibly grind up a stat via watching scenes, in order to see more scenes, but it's not too much work. It mostly exists as triggers to keep the scenes in order. A few choices come up along the way.

Graphically, it gets no points because it's Koikatu, which is a 3d anime character creation and posing suite with premade animation assets. It is very limited in what it can do, and the characters begin to feel samey and stilted.

Personally, I believe the game should be about 1/3 as long as it was when I played it six months ago.

Excellent indie renpy VN, imo the best that came out of the community. (so far)

Consistent updates, a lot of content with great pacing and most importantly it's not completely silent on the sex scenes. There are sound effect, moans, etc . The lack of them is the number one pet peeves I have with this type of games, but it's handled great here.

game is not finished but I'm confident it'll be great and worth your time nonetheless. 5 stars.

As a Netorare game, this kinda sucks. It started out very strong, but dropped off hard when the dev decided to add a bunch of Netorase on the same timeline as the Netorare. The Netorare loses all impact when the MC is willingly sharing his girl with another guy. Ends up just being more of a cheating game in my opinion. He shares her with one guy, and she cheats with another guy behind his back. Not my idea of a good Netorare.

If you are into Netorase, I think this game will be much more of an interest to you than it is to me. The scenes are very good, and it has top quality animation. I at one point avoided games with this style of CG. But this game single handedly made me start checking them out, its that good on the CG front. Its just that I put much more focus on the story of an NTR than the art, and the story went in a direction that was just not for me.

Aside from the story that I lost interest in, I think the biggest flaw is just a flaw most games of this type have. You click around to progress the story, but sometimes you have no idea what to do next and end up in a bit of a loop till you guess the correct action to take. However this was fixed by a mod, which I believe is now standard in the game, so you have color coded text to know the general idea of how to progress.

Overall, I would rate this dev pretty high, he just went into a direction that wasnt for me, is what it is. I will definitely check out his next game when this on is done.

DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!!!

It will ruin all other NTR Games for you as it is in a League of it's own.

I have 60 pages of saves, TONS of content, definetly over 50 hours of gameplay and not at a single point did it ever get dull. It just kept on giving and giving and each scene got better, creative and more interesting.

There's a reason why this has an almost 5/5 overall rating.

But seriously, NTR games will not be the same after this one.
You have been warned.
