Ren'Py - Abandoned - The Revolution [v0.1] [Lewd Mind Games]

The game handles repeatable actions in a super grindy repetitive way, because no options allow to purchase a multiple of something. Say you want to buy 10 charisma upgrades, what I expect to happen: go to upgrades, choose stats, choose 10x, costs 10x as much, done.

How it actually happens: goes to upgrades, choose stats, choose stat 1x, get kicked back into hangar, click ship, click "go to some planet", click on planet, click "visit pam", click "upgrades", choose stats, choose stat 1x, get kicked back into hangar, *repeat over and over*

Buying 10 of ONE SINGLE stat will take you minimum 230 clicks (on loop, not even counting having to sleep in between)!!!!! Unbelievable!! And the game does this for all the other grinding actions too! such as buying multiple drinks, etc etc. Truly unfathomable.

Game has no functional task list so you are navigating blindly at all times. It has some weird outdated log in PDA that displays old info that is not relevant anymore. Example Zoe tells me she won't give me a mission because "The stuff you are already working on are enough", yet I have zero idea what she is talking about and the PDA lists nothing.

Side missions are bugged or don't conclude (e.g. a character that goes on a side mission with you will always reappear and act as you never finished it).

This is a very strong start, I like the setting, the characters, the story, the cute girls. The game seems to have just the right amount of grinding so I can feel I'm acomplishing stuff and improving without it becoming tedious and like a full time job. Very nice for a first release and it looks like there's a lot of interesting stuff planned for the next releases, such as bedroom interactions and all those planets (looking forward to Hell in particular). You can check your current stats, relationships etc. in the tablet, it's not so easy to see, in the top right corner. And I sure hope this isn't one of those games with incompatible saves and you need to start over, that just trashes all the feeling of acomplishment you get for grinding missions and stats and all that.

This is a porn game and isn’t going to bullshit you about that fact, but it still takes time to tell a story that’s separate from what is between your legs.

The biggest issue I have with this game is the grammatical errors and a few conversational hiccups. There are some randomly capitalized letters here and there, but that’s not a huge deal. I don’t know if the writer is a native English speaker, some of the dialogue is off in the way that a lot of translated games are. It would be beneficial for the writer to maybe get a native English speaker to proofread the script. The other issue I noticed is when your relationship improves with the characters, the greetings double up rather than being one or the other. For example, “What can I do for you….Hey! I’m so glad to see you!” Not a huge deal, but something I noticed.

The models are well done. They are assets, so I’ve seen them in other games, but the aesthetic of this game with the neo-futuristic vibes is a pretty cool twist. I’m a sucker for body mods and tattoos, so this game checks a box for me personally. The one negative thing I have to say is that the female models’ breasts are very anti-gravity, and it looks a little strange.

As stated before, the game is a porn game and the tags are very accurate. This game gets down and dirty without hesitation. The beginning is a bit fast and left me feeling a bit confused. But once I got into the core gameplay, It was a lot of fun. I don’t like sandbox games that don’t need to be, but this one needs to be. It’s laid out well, the only wish I had was the main hub arrows had labels. I learned the layout fast, but there was a lot of clicking around early. Otherwise, I enjoy the interactions, resource gathering, and mission hubs.

I’d say it’s a bit bare bone. The UI could use a facelift and the dialogue a little polishing, but overall, it’s a good first release! Keep at it, I look forward to the next release.
