VN - Ren'Py - The Last Challenge [v0.2.0] [LustyDonkey]

The Last Challenge delivers a captivating visual novel experience with impressive render quality, a diverse cast, and an engaging storyline. A well-balanced blend that elevates the genre. I had lots of fun playing it.

The Last Challenge Review

The usual linear click and progress gameplay. Nothing innovative here nor is there really a need to be all the time but for a genre that's already hyper saturated this doesn't meet the mark.
Alot of dialogue is just pointless fluff due to the fact that there is quite a number of characters.
By the end of the Demo you will forget half of them. But this is a review so im going to be objective.

-Subpar Renders, looks like something from 2015

-same Daz models with no real variations

-kinetic novel style with some choices that will effect outcomes. Not bad, at least it isn't a sandbox.

-MC is apparently some gigachad who's the best fucker in their quarantined college.. who writes this again?

Overall this game has no identity. Its a clickfest and a worse version of where the heart is in terms of "hey here's alot of girls and you're it"

The demo has potential if it keeps up with same quality will be a must play in future. File size is big but there is not much stuff to do, its prologue. Models mh ok, I liked some but perhaps in future some got a upgrade. Has some funny scenes -> good. Donnie sex with bitch -> not good. Might be ignored but seems all girls have Boyfriends or experience. Story is not clear where it goes can be you voyeurism focused or steal them away in future but probably a mix of both, also not liking that.

Recommending would be to soon, not enough good stuff heck only one sex in here but also some disgusting stuff will be a thorn in eye. Wait for at least full episode release to judge yourself

Had to edit. Patreons will dictate the story seem. I saw in which direction it goes not in good on.

This game has so much potential to be one of the best games around.
Great plot with meaningful choices and all characters have their own story and personality. The humor in the dialogue works well enough.
The renders are also great. Each character well designed.
Overall I am looking forward to how this plays out.

Why people have given this 5 stars I'll never know, but I know that there are plenty people on this site who have the attention-span of 12-year-olds, so I'll provide a more comprehensive description instead of "OMG, best demo ever!" [Review for v0.1.0]

Honestly, it's not bad, but there are definitely flaws in the game. For every positive aspect, there seems to be a negative, so I'll try and group them together. TL;DR 3/10

+ the visuals are pretty darn good, there's nice diversity and they're all good, even the backgrounds are good.
-- the game size is fucking massive for the amount of content on display. 4.4GB is ridiculous when all that's happened is the MC has woken up, had sex, and gone onto a bus. Imagine how massive it would be just for the actual story to happen at this rate!? (Just saw 0.2.0 is 9.7GB, how unoptimised is this AVN)

+ the sexual content currently present is pretty good, the first and only MC sex scene (split into two, they're so close together I'm considering it one scene) is well-animated and the great models help. The intermittent nudity around the MC makes sense, which is difficult for other AVNs to understand
- - for some strange fucking reason, the dev added two different sex encounters (they aren't scenes, but they're still sexual encounters) for your fat annoying best friend. There's no option to turn it off, hell it just randomly happens totally unprovoked. You're big-upped as apparently this champion who might as well be casanova, but then you see more of your "ugly bastard" bff getting more women than you, not to mention he says we apparently had threesomes with plenty of women with him?? The fact we can CHOOSE whether to have sex or not with the one LI shown, but then are FORCED to see this fat dude in a fucking shitty luchadore costume get serviced by two women and are TOLD we've had dozens of threesomes with him is fucking insane. At the very least give us a choice at the beginning and alter some of the dialogue, or just ask us during each instance.

+ each character has a distinct personality, and many of the women are clearly shown to have some level of depth to them other than tits and ass. The dialogue is much better than many AVN's I've read on here.
- The pacing is fucking atrocious. the sex scene is essentially the FIRST thing that happens, we then see our fat best friend fuck 2 girls individually, then the other 95% of the demo you're just reading a dozen people having a conversation with each other. It's a nuts amount of dialogue for just a sex scene at the beginning.
- - - this is a big one in my book, the dev decided that two of the love interests (one not introduced to us yet) are DOMESTIC ABUSERS. Not only that, but we're meant to be a romantic exchange with one, and then suddenly discover she burnt his shit, verbally abused him and regularly assaulted him when they dated?? The audacity of the dev to just pull that shit up is insane to me, cause he CLEARLY believes that he can pull some form of redemption out of his arse, which is just so delusional to me.

+ the story has an interesting hook, although there's not enough to actually judge a good story off of. There's a natural flow to the story (before the second half which is ALL backstory) and the build-up works.
- the story so far almost feels like the dev has mixed multiple stories together to get everything they wanted. One is the "final challenge", and the other is about a fast and wide-spreading illness called the "crown virus" that seemingly had no effect on people, but also led to the one valley the MC was in conveniently get closed off as they were told to learn survival skills like farming, hunting, gathering and trade jobs. One of these would be a good premise on it's own, but I'm concerned that the two together will just distract from each other and make it far too bloated.

+ there's music and some A.I. audio, it's decently implemented.
- the dev insisting the audio is necessary for the experience seems odd, as I don't think I've played any game where it's been *required*

Ultimately, while there's a clear display of talent and hard work, the fact this is only a demo and these problems are immediately apparent to anyone paying any attention at all is concerning. Generally speaking, 90% of devs refuse to change what they've done until far later, and these glearing mistakes will likely only worsen the longer it goes.

One of the best games currently
The demo is so great, it probably took several months or half a year for this demo
There are many options for your direction, bad or good...try it and see.
It's worth downloading and testing right away.
Hope it doesn't end too soon with the Abandonde tag.
We are waiting for your new update

Awesome Alert!
Great story, humour and graphics!
The only question is about liberty of actions and "open-worldness" that remains. I would love to be even more in control of event.
But we have one of the greatest story writen game ever incoming!

10/10 so far Amazing Game, Amazing Story, Amazing Plot, Fantastic Characters, Fantastic Hub (seeing the characters profiles is a really good feature that most games with a lot of charaters should 100% have)
All the Characters seem realy interesting so far, many Waifus even the male side characters seem really good which most games just do a horrible job at.

Cant wait for more will follow this series very closely ,
Hope you can produce the story that you have in vision.

This Game is really really nice and has so much potential. Wonderful looking renders and nice alternative dialogs. I guess that's the most part I liked. The Dialogoptions reallly changes the story, gives more than 2 or 3 new dialoglines, there are a bunch of new scenes. I'm hyped to see more

First of all welcome dev the game has serious potential if the dev make it right so far amazing story is good with some lewd scenes and some imotional elements nice renders need to work on a little bit animation wise it needs to improve and fresh characters MC is a goat all love interest are also cool good luck dev

I've never given a game a five-star review on this site...until now. This one has it all: Hot women, slick interface, and absolutely hilarious humor! Cheers to the dev -- this one has all the makings of a classic!

(Also: I hope they never make it back to town! I love my classmates!)

This game has to be one of if not the game that I'm most excited moving forward. It's a game where I truly feel like my choices matter (eg. seeing the scene with the maid develop in so many different ways depending on your dialogue choice), but the biggest award I can give it is that it's the first porn game that made me actually interested in the story other than just jacking off, characters are funny and relatable, they speak like normal teenagers, and the dev doesn't shy away from showing us that other people have sex, I don't like NTR, unless I'm the one doing it, but in this game it makes sense that everyone boned at least once or things happened in 8 years because obviously they were locked up. Keep up the good work dev, I also usually only go with sandbox games but this one feels it has a lot of freedom just with how you can handle things in more way than one, so props on that.

(0.1.3)so far its great, they had a great stinger to get you hooked right at the beginning and the comedy bits are fucking hilarious and don't perfectly to fit the moment and whats being talked about, they're also able to keep it real with emotional talk and stuff, even covering some darker tones with some of your possible choices so far and forcing/manipulating women to be with you

I will give a solid 5 for a demo. Animation was well done with the maid. I like the idea that give you different option for the sex scene. Storyline is pretty good. I am just waiting to see how fast the developper plan to update. I checked subscribestar is still for approval. Pretty sure I will subscribe if the developper plan to be serious about this game.

I didn't like it. Story is dumb. 500k teenagers in a single college? global pandemic? COVID 2.0 infects world except college town? 10 years quarantine. No in outs, no visits? No internet? Not letter? No air drops? Sure… So they start carpentry and farming, work on farms rise livestock? In a town? Low expectation for porn logic…

Most girls look unappealing. Can only bang old grandma cleaner. Best friend fucks behind Main character back hottest girl in college? What? How? He has also biggest dick despite being loser number 1? Turns out she is slut… Ntr. Hate this. Harem? Incest ? Where ? Fails with this already.Już!.

Unlikeable followers, unlikeable characters boys and girls. Everybody has Boyfriends. All about fuck fest. No romance yet. Comedy ? Where ? Dumb fatso doing dumb stuff is comedy but not rape ? Poważnie… Main character is chad? Fucked good amount chicks ? Oy vey, instead imagine them myśląc wstecz, we watch other sex… brilliant….

Corruption ? Seduction ? What? ‘Oh nó! Im wife I have husband!’ One line she sucking his dick. ‘Best sex I had!’...

‘Last Challenge’ is Main Character to bang Mom and sister. Good right ? With what seen don't have hopes up. To soon. Not recommend.

I'll give it to you straight: only because of the humor I bumped it up to a 3, but honesty matters, and there wasn't much to praise after that. The demo is decent, actually one of the better ones these days. It offers a good range of models, catering to personal tastes. The characters are believable, and the humor is a strong suit, although it can sometimes clash with the desire for realism. If you've got some free time and nothing else going on, give it a try. Just don't expect it to be a steamy experience - there's only one seggs scene, unless you count the MC's bro moments which has two.

However, when it comes to the seggs scenes, things get a bit wonky. Some of them are oddly put together, like they were slapped on from a asset marketplace and forced into the story. It's not the smoothest, with awkward clipping and all. On the bright side, you do have some options to mix up positions and play around with variety during those scenes.

On one side, its aiming for authenticity in the story, but on the flip side, it's all clichés we've seen a hundred times. Gotta admit, I was into it until we hit the part about the MC's best friends. That's where things took a turn.

And yeah, I'm totally biased. Honestly, I wouldn't even bother leaving this review if it weren't for that tag.

This game is a hit or miss, depending on what you can handle. Personally I expected a harem with the incest, given the game's foundation, but here we are with the once again unavoidable 'NTR' plot involving the MC's best friend and one of the girls. Considering the focus on realism and 'characters having their own personalities,' I'm not even sure if the player can prevent all the love interests from hooking up with other dudes when they're already in a relationship.

There's supposed to be a max of 7 chapters, but when I've seen what's up so far and heard about a potential sandbox mode, my rating can't go higher than a 3. I only really vibed with 2 out of the 20 models, and there were just two scenes that got a laugh out of me. ‍♂

Amazing game with great potential for different playthroughs. The demo gives impression that the full game will have different paths and choices that lead to different scenes and consequences and love it. Renders and sex scenes are top quality and the addition of sex sounds is a nice bonus. My only fear is that the game looks way too overambitious which might cause slow release schedule.

Bad:
1. Commas need to be followed by spaces. I don't know why this is an issue, but it's consistently one to the extent you could probably find and replace to fix it all. Occasionally happens with periods in the beginning.
2. Demo has no sex scenes. Not surprising.
3. The implication is the main plot will take place when I get home. But then most of the characters I get to see will end up not being around? I guess we'll see, but would be disappointing to lose them all.

Observations:
The little sister has all the good personality, and the older sister has all the good looks.
Thought the MC was slightly ugly, but time skip FTW.
Not a huge fan of this model type, personally. It borders on everyone looking bad, in some ways. But it does give the characters nice eyes, and the females are cute on average. Usually animations look gross with it though. So far I'm inclined to say that's the case.
Bit confused about the whole decade thing, since everyone is 25...Did they start college at 15?

Good:
The lighting is beautiful I suppose.
The plot is as a whole entertaining. Not crazy, but at least I don't want to skip everything like normal.

Best game in a long time! 10/10 so far! The story, the girls, the animation, and the dialogue is very good. I am looking forward to seeing where this goes. I would like a gallery of the sex scenes tho.

Bro this is some top level shit... I totally enjoyed this demo ,it has comedy, extremely well story, sex. To be honest rather than a game it more feels like a good movie which you will like to watch with your bros. And let me tell you guys you will definitely like MC's sidekick, that guy literally fucked his childhood bully's girlfriend and done many more other things XD, you will understand what I'm taking about once you played the game. Keep up good work man I definitely enjoyed this.
