Ren'Py - Completed - The Princess and the Tower [v0.9c Public] [y.v.]

I absolutely loved playing this game from the first time I played it, which was 2 years ago, to just recently finishing it for the fourth time 3 weeks ago.

The gradual corruption/training of the princess, queen and the other characters was well done in my opinion. I especially loved everything regarding Nyx, from the training to wearing the goblin training kit part.

A few things that I think could have been explored furher is more utilization of the training room, as well as events with the queen after capturing her. However, we can't have it all and y.v. does explore all the posisbilities regarding similar things in his next game; Space Journey X.

Lastly, the setting with the goblin, corruption and princess just has a very big appeal to me and I absolutely adore it.

All in all, just a very solid training/corruption game that you should definitely play if you like those sort of games, even if the charachter models/art turns you away at first.

I have played this and Jouney x. I love the graphical style and the different characters.

It is nice to play a game that has been finished nad with multiple endings

Although ass fucking the evill queen was a real treat.

I enjoyed it, definitely could use some refinement since certain mechanics were a bit unclear but it’s worth giving it a go if you like trainer style games.

There is a little ‘avoid the enemy’ mini game that you’ll end up playing a fair bit so if things like that frustrate you then I’d give it a miss

Story is a bit bland and having a shitload of grind makes it very boring on top of that, its a typical sandbox with 0 freedom and a 100% linear questline, no choices or anything, so theres really not much to come for in this one, also every fetish is forced ofc being kinetic/linear.

MC is also just to brainless and just yet another pervert, only diffrense in this one is that hes a goblin everything else is the pretty standard shimp MC.

Then theres the awefull questlog/hint that dosent help what so ever, at one point i had two quests in log, get princess 100k and buy shit in shop....what shop? lol theres nothng that tells ya where or wtf you need to do to get a shop, its truely that bad....

Anyways then theres the NTR which arent taged i guess its up to each player to deside if it is NTR or not, but i can only say i wasent a fan of being forced to send your girl to the brothel for training? maybe its just me but i wouldent want my girls to become whores and fuck other dudes.
And to make matters worse the girl your forced to turn into a whore is also a lesbian/bi and apprently the second the witch girl joins the tower she turns lesbian as well and first thing they do is have sex with one another....so yeah no NTR tag feels very weird.
Funny side-note you cant even fuck anyone your self as MC in the brothel? its one weird game.

As for the girls i cant say i liked them much, the art wasent really my thing and the hole rings in tits shit is so idiotic so like i said just not much in my taste in this one.

Even renders are very low quality and same goes for animations if they have any that is, i played for along time, up to the point where your forced to put the princess into the brothel as well and thats when i quit, but up to that point there had been nothing what so ever, well 2 frame/picture to picture shit but that wouldent qualify for animation tag so maybe there is one or two later.

Music is ok, nothing special but ok background stuff.

I enjoyed the game and the plot. It was a bit grindy, but that is par for the course with most erotic games. I also like the characters and the art ranged from good to OK. Many of the erotic scenes were also titillating.

I didn't like that there were a number of features that were no implement or not fully implemented. That made things confusing a times. I hope the creator will come back to this and finish those features at some point.

I would have enjoyed the game more if all the girls were trainable to the point that they wouldn't say no to anything anymore. That could have been fine for the free play at the end of the game. At that point just have the SLU and SUB uncapped and train them until the won't decline anything (i.e. none of them would refuse a butt plug or being milked).

I also wish the training room had been utilized more. That had lots of untapped potential. I would happily trade away the dungeon exploration and portal war parts of the game for free reign to use all the equipment in the training room (especially if it was with all the characters).

I am also really, really disappointed that you couldn't get Nyx to wear the Goblin Training Kit again after the story progression. It would have been awesome to send her exploring in that and then have her get taken advantage of by the dungeon creatures. Sending her to the Tavern or Brothel in that could have been a lot of fun as well. Or some humiliation play around the tower by forcing her to wear it and then serve the other girls.

Don't pick normal it doesn't provide more challenge it provides more grind. skipping as fast as I could I got 1 original sex scene a Hj in 6 hours of play I did not enjoy the stupid sub slot machine is or how the pattern game can only get a good score on with dumb luck. I did not enjoy rolling back my skip to get the right bath bomb. I did not enjoy going through each dungeon variant of the same dungeon dozens of times and I did not enjoy how meany loading screens I had to sit through to finish building the bdsm room and it wasn't even that big and i didn't even get to use it. I got so bored I zoned out and had a saucy daydream that respected my time. the perks! the gals are cute and quality 3d. If i was into being a man slave i may have liked this game but I don't and I didn't. Update i played more! I unlocked the thief and Shes kind of useless I unlocked a blowie at a shockingly distant camera angle like the scene before it all in all this game hates your time.

These games by y.v. are sick.
Great women, good stories, Great gameplay, in fact they could be the only games that even has gameplay around here.
Great scenes, the formula might be unfamiliar for a lot of players, but it's really good regardless, but now I have finished both completed games.
This was certainly a lot of fun.

PROS:
-Good design and renders.
-Good writing for the dialogues, with also a decent story.
-Nice gameplay. The minigames/puzzles are actually very fun to play compared to most other porn games.

CONS:
-For the game length, it lacks sex scenes.
-If you play in Normal difficulty, the gameplay is a bit grindy (but not too much).
-The princess is pretty slutty from the start. For a "Corruption" and "Trainer" tagged game, I would rather prefer a more innocent vibe in the beginning. But this may be a personal taste...

My rating: 7/10 (May be an 8/10 with you really like BDSM stuff)

Researching the Demonology outfit is not implemented, though cheating it inside the inventory prompts a dialogue from Gwynn. Also, I found a Master Token inside the Institute level, right in front of the left barricade with the girl. With this, the second ending scene can be unlocked in the gallery (with Nyx), but the Demonology scene remains the only one that is locked after the third ending path is chosen. The leash and crop cannot be used on Illiana, even though the Goblin has plans, and the dog collar, iron shackles and horse bit are gold farming items. It's a nice game despite the incompleteness at the end.

The story itself is fine for what it is but strung out over completely unfun (hence, pointless) sandbox/grind gameplay. Take away the latter and the entire "story" is like 30 minutes long, very likely shorter.

The most important thing about sandbox games that require the player travel between locations and perform various actions as part of the normal gameplay, is an easy way to do those things. Which is to say, one that doesn't entail clicking little buttons on the screen and having disconnected images of those locations shoved in your face. This is extremely hard if not impossible to do in ren'py, and while this game does provide more convenient ways to exit rooms and such than most of its kind, it still isn't enough to make it fun. At all.

Very rarely one comes across a game that might have something apart from the stupid sandbox to make up for it, this isn't one of them. Once you get past the novelty of the 3d models (basically a DIsney-esque cartoony style), nothing whatsoever about it is worth the suicide-watch grindfest. The h-scenes are so generic you can pretty much see them in your head the moment you see the characters.

Pervy goblin self-insert fucks blond bitch princess modelled after "Frozen" - whatever image you're conjuring up in your head based on that description is what you get here. Probably much worse in fact cus the human brain is orders of magnitude more powerful and creative than daz3d. So if you want to fap to this stuff, just use the magic of imagination instead of grinding for 14 hours to see a handful of competently rendered sex scenes.

Kind of boring. Character designs are kind of unique in terms of proportions. Fair bit of grinding, scenes are infrequent, dialogue is dull. You wouldn't miss anything meaningful in this one if you downloaded it, browsed through the image file in the game folder, and then deleted it.

omg, I loved it so much... if you get used to the art, you can have fun for hours and days!
The only problem is grindddiiinnnnngggg!
There a much cheats common which makes it more playable. Without I would stop playing at a point. The second big thing is it is not fallowing a route. You can accidently scip hours of gameplay, because you didnt know to do one thing. The game needs a better navigation. And the opportunity to discover all the endings without play again, which noone would do because of the grind.

Writing: 8/10
Imagery: 9/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Kinks: 7/10
Overall: 9/10

One goblin to fuck them all.

There's been a string of goblin themed games where you play as a lone goblin taking on the world, and this game is no different; well a little. (this game is actually good)

The goblin here becomes the defacto teacher/trainer/corruptor of a tower bound princess, the blond bitchy princess is his to slow (and I do mean slowly) turn into his personal cock cozy. And even then, she'll never lose that bitchy attitude.

Along for the ride is the evil queen who likes to fuck her dogs and can be blackmailed into serving as the goblin's cum bucket, a studious witch a la Hermione who can be tricked into studying the way of goblin reproduction, and a thief sent along by the shady guild our goblin belonged to at one point who ends up serving him in not only getting fat stacks but also swallowing his fat loads.

The animation is pretty unique and I actually found it appealing, had a sort of clay doll feel to it, well modeled, and giving us some good sex scenes that might have felt a tad bit stiff but had their hearts in the right place.

Aside from corrupting princesses and fucking evil queens, the goblin can also explore dungeons in a turn based strategy section that can be pretty damn hard at times. Trail and error my friends, trail and error, and back scrolling.

Eventually the end result can vary, but if you're anyone who is someone playing this you'll want that harem end. Aquire the goblin artifacts and you'll earn this chance, resulting in all women being available for use by their new king and sex master.

Put 174 in-game days into this, and while I don't see myself ever returning, it was a real fun ride.

This Developer has a unique charactor design.
The game is fun to play but it is toooo grindy even if you use cheat it still grindy this is -1* for me

The only bad thing about this game is grindy but it still a good game


P.S. Princess is weird as fuck but I like her

Long, varied, original and well done.
Perhaps sometines you need the guide walkthrough.
Highly recommended to use the mouse wheel.
The best are the different ways to play during the game.
I don't found any bugs.

-You can figure if you like the art yourself. Personally its 4/5
-Most of the gameplay is proper mini games, that are all of moderate to easy difficulty. Slowly falls apart the further you get into the game with the story providing less hints and more esoteric solutions and requirements that make it annoying to progress. 2/5
-The story exists and is mildly comedic. It doesn't have any literary value, but it does add flavour to the scenes. Nothing egregious to actively reduce enjoyment. 3/5

I'm very surprised this game is as highly rated as it is. If it were still in development, I'd be more inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt, but as things stand this is a barely held together game with very few scenes/renders compared to the grind/gameplay.
Having a bad porn to grind ratio is not necessarily damning if the game is fun, but the mini games are very tedious and repetitive.
I would give the dev's follow up a try, because I'm sure they learned a lot making this game, but I can't recommend this game to anyone.

The good:
I like the art style
Corruption is fun
Good diversity in harem
Good story (though I wish Grex was more evil)

The bad:
Incredibly tedious, even on easy (I played both)
Feels incomplete (got softlocked a couple of times)
Lots of early ideas remain that have no purpose. Why is there an experience system? What do the levels mean?
The RPG elements are really just gates to unlock the next VN sequence. But the point of RPG elements is customization (think early Final Fantasy). There's not some great variety of scenes to choose from that different points might unlock. So drop it!

TL;DR
Game would have benefited from being edited down into a shorter VN.
You'll have more fun re-playing an Akabur game

Great game all around. Good humor, decent story, pretty girls and enjoyable scenes. There is kind of a weak point in that the minigames don't feel very polished and can get a little repetitive, but I'm willing to look past that because the rest of the game was strong. I gave this game multiple hours to get all three ends (with the guide) and I'm happy with that choice.

The Princess and the tower is a very interactive VN with a lot of management mechanics, items, currency, time, and a couple of fun minigames. You get thrown in a scenario with an airhead princess and slowly get your way through her and a couple of girls. Instead of quantity the game is heavily focused on quality of interaction with each girl. It is a fun game and setting, leveling up and showing the princess and the others new ways of interacting with items and such. The art and the teasing got me fixated on the screen. But there are also some significant problems to consider, mainly the repetition and the lack of scenes. Considering it is a management game you have to do and redo many of the same actions over and over with very few differences that would make it more palpable. Another aspect is the lack of interesting scenes. Despite having plenty of teasing, the game falters with actually deep content that would be the payoff for many hours of repetition, this alone hurts the quality of the game significantly. And as you go through the three different endings, you notice the gallery does not properly save your endings, meaning you actually have to replay the game three times, something crazy considering the amount of grinding for each run. A terrible design for any game like this. The gallery does not show the scene but a single picture of the scene, and some you can never see again ingame because of progress. Also, by the end, your focus changes from the princess to other girls. Personally I did not enjoy it as much as the simple beginning. It's a nice game but not something you are not missing much, it had potential for much more.

Loved the game, encountered a few issues with not being able to progress and resorting to restarting game at a later point, (Gwynn didn't give me the key to enable Nix to access the castle in the magic squares ACT).

Very unique art style (cutesy!), some bondage themes, some funny dialogue ("like totally"), a few different mini games.
I feel like this is an under-rated game.
Only minor complaint, I think the game would benefit from more renders, would still give it 5stars, good job!
