VN - Ren'Py - The Seven Realms [R3 v1.01] [SeptCloudGames]

Top 5 best games ive ever played hands down. This is amazing and HIGHLY UNDERRATED. Amazing MC, Amazing characters and interesting love interests, goes deep in the lore too. The banter between the MC and the man LI is also amazingly done, had me smiling from ear to ear, theres real chemistry between them. The renders and animations are top tier as well, dont get me started on the cut scenes... 10\10 for me. I LOOOVE THIS GAME.

This might be my favourite AVN story-wise, I'm a big fan of similar games with fantasy setting and The Seven Realms potentially have the richest and the most interesting story I've seen so far.

Visually, the later stage of the game looks amazing, lighting is just on another level compared to First Realm, same with animations and ability to change angles as you want. Difference between the First and Second Realms is very noticeable but early graphics and animations also doesn't disappoint.

Characters are written quite well, their personalities are distinct and design looks really good and quite unique.
Story, as I mentioned, is very interesting and exciting, intrigues and betrayals, difficult decisions, plot twists and mysteries that are left to solve in future updates, everything is on point and doesn't leave player bored for sure, at least it was like that for me.

It might be less important but UI in The Seven Realms looks really awesome and unique as well, I love their style. What I really like and respect about these developers is their professionalism if I may say so, their thoroughness, impressive progress and approach to developing. One of my favourite parts is their website that contains various information about whole game, characters and future teasers, really good job here.

And of course music, I can't express enough how much I love their music/ambient sound through whole game. Even if there aren't dozens of different melodies and sound effects, those that are present in game fits the overall mood and atmosphere perfectly, not a single time I thought that I'm getting bored of it. Especially Second Realm, music in Pythonium is legit the most memorable and one of my favourite soundtracks among all AVNs, shoutout to person who made it.

Overall, if you're looking for an AVN with rich and interesting story, solid writing, great music and amazing characters - you should definitely try this game and most likely you won't regret it.

Great game. I say it's gonna be one of the greatest here on this forum. The renders are good, though it has some flaws in the beginning. The plot is interesting and pretty captivating. The models are hot, though the sex scenes are a bit confusing, and you don't have the option to bang your enemies after putting them into submission, kind of a big turn off
The thing I dislike the most about this is probably how the main character isn't consistent, and a lot of the time appear weak, especially in the second episode . Hopefully shit gets better in High Lathión.
Overall, I have high hope. This has been a very captivating game, with a very charming vibe

This is a must-play game. It's the one I felt compelled to write a review about and spread the word.
Author understands what makes a character "tick", how to use lightning and poses well, great animations (in the later parts of the game, initial ones had some faults).
Most of the girls are compelling in one way or another, main love interest is cool, decent variety, lots of three- and foursomes, all animated.
Very long story (though because it develops very quickly, I felt detached, like in the other games where you get the girl immediately without trying).
Because the choices are so polarizing, you really have just one path, so its kinda a kinetic novel, unless you want to act out of character and be a psycho.
Still, writing issues aside, it's a highly recommended title and I can't wait for the future c hapters.

Plot is good, the writing is a bit cheesy though. Cheesiness aside the writing is above average, and its well edited - there aren't spelling mistakes / grammar issues. Not sure why some other reviewers are hating on the art, its not top tier but it is definitely good. Animations are decent, especially considering the quantity of them.

The amount of content for a game thats been out for 2 years is stellar. There are few games that are being developed as quickly as this one, and its nice to see a game that actually is on track to be completed at some point rather than cutting off in the middle of the story or a rushed ending. The plot is also advancing at a reasonable pace rather than updates going towards irrelevant side plots.

I would rate it 4.5 because it can be cheesy (feels like a book teens would read at times), but its fair to give it 5. Theres few games putting out as complete a package, and even fewer are putting out the level of content as consistently.

The writing can use more effort. It feels kinda unnatural
story is great.
there are some sex scens
models are hot
it would have been nice if the the game looked more modern. The game looks like it is from 2017

Pretty enjoyable journey with lots of likeable characters. The characters are likeable, but not devoid of flaws. Also, the renders are pretty much incredible. I've seen many animations and effects I have never seen in any other AVN so production value is top notch.

My only complaint is that the MC loses protagonism as the story progresses. Of course, other characters should get the spotlight from time to time or the world would feel empty, but by the end of the current content, all of the protagonism is on the harem. It's about their flaws and their growth. I also get that the MC is an ancient being, but even he needs to grow, considering there are even more ancient beings.

Also, there are many drawn-out conversations where the MC doesn't even get a single word in and there are even some cases where you are penalised for interrupting the conversation. If this is fixed, this could easily become my favourite AVN on the site.

So many notably excellent things about this game, and so many glaring flaws in it's execution.

This game is an anomaly in that they seem to have done all the difficult things really well. I love the plot, the characters, the universe and all the relationships. The , script, dialogue, design and overall visual appeal of the game is top tier but the animations are generally very weak. There are more rendering flaws than i've ever seen in a game like this.

The game and story have me compelled to continue playing in spite of it's sloppy execution. It's a stark contrast to so many games that prioritize visuals and fall so short on writing and world building. My wish for this game is that the production get handed off to a more experienced, polished crew.

Seven Realms is 3/4 of an absolute all time classic.

On the plus side, the females are pretty good looking, the writing is solid, the overall plot is interesting, and the sex scenes are frequent. However, the unfuckable enemy females are really unnatractive, which is a pretty stupid spoiler.
Some of the sex scenes are good, while others are pretty bland. The addition of multiple angles in realm 2 is a very good touch (although I'd prefer more first person POV, but that's just me). The "continue" button in the scenes is really confusing, since in most games it means "continue [to the next position], but here it means "continue [in this position]", which means it does the same as not clicking. It should be removed or at the very least renamed. I'm not a big fan of the MC's thoughts during the scenes as well. Something about them just doesn't vibe with me. I think it may be that these lines are somewhere between natural reactions to sexual events and a detached narrator telling the viewer what the MC is experiencing. Maybe it works for some people, but I don't like reading this middle ground. Sexually, this game is strong, if not perfect. Maybe 4 stars there.
Also, it's not really explained why the MC's girlfriend(s) grant him license to fuck absolutely everything. I'm not a fan of the whole "mate bond" magic thing.
Ba'el's name is a problem. It's clearly derived from the semetic deity Baal/Ba'al, who comes into Western culture through Judiasm (and then through Christianity). However the ending "el" is Hebrew for (basically) "of God". That's why so many Jewish names end in "el": Michael, Gabriel, Rachel, and a bunch of other ones which I don't remember off the top of my head. Renaming Ba'al to Ba'el is extremely ignorant, at best, and offensive, if intentional. I'm going to call him "Ba'al" instead, because it's better.
Also, I don't like his face.
The choices, however, are frequently terrible. Frequently, you have the option to either do A. nothing, or B. "punish" someone by murdering them. I'd like a middle ground between being spineless and a psychopath. The MC also frequently fails to give the important women the chance to give input on choices, even when they should be the one making the decision. Generally, it seems like the MC and/or the writers don't respect them.

Graphically, the game stands at a high level.
Story - Very and engaging
Music - On point although it can sometimes be annoying due to the fact that it is looped and sometimes one song flies too long.
Models - At a high level.
Girls - Not counting the three main girls and maybe a little Gina the rest of the girls although they show some personality you don't build a relationship with them, they just jump on the MC dick.
MC - It was enjoyable to play, respect to the developer for not supplementing the story with a million of his thoughts and presto for the fact that the protagonist is not creepy.


Definitely a game worth playing but.

The start of the game is tragic, we meet a girl who is forced, we have activity with her in bed and boom six months later xD
So much is good that we have control over who we want to sleep with, even the forced ones.
Dev tends to forget certain details in the story and doesn't return to them leaving us in the dark just jumping in with the story two weeks later, for example.

Back in v0.11 I didn't think I'd enjoy the game as much as I have, Now in v0.19 It has quickly climbed the ranks to be one of my favorite VN's to go through, Probably #2 or #3 on my listen currently, (Nothing can beat Sorcerer by Talothral to me). I'm very excited to see how much this game will progress!

Unbiased Seven Realms Review.

Pros
-Good amount of content so far.

-Lore rich universe, similar to Underworld.

-Ui is great and the game feels polished in that regard. No bugs no crashes.

Cons
-Firstly you're literally stuck with the first girl you meet in the FIRST minute of the game. Stuck as in your characters become a couple through vampire bond crap.
Writing a character that we are loyal to without even any ounce of prior history other than we had sex and then timeskip for 6 months is horrible for the player to even bother caring about the character.


- Sex scenes are very poorly made and uninspiring.

-You barely remember some of the characters but then down the road you're given a choice regarding their plotlines.

-Literally zero inclination to fuck any character in this game, Twilight had a better romance and that's not saying much.

Overall it isn't a bad game if you just want to be buff vampire overlord and do the same chicks over and over again. But as far as fantasy stories could've been written in an AVN format, this one misses.

Most games find me repeatedly clicking through boring, mundane, pointless, conversations in an attempt to find something interesting. This game had me immediately regret that bad habit, as I've had to back up multiple times in order to read conversations and narrations because of my growing interest in the story and lore that the author created. While some of the sex scenes do feel a little forced and rushed, overall the best part about this game is the story development. I want to see a full on tv show based off of this story. The dev needs to write a full book series off of this game. I would read it.

The game has an average to good story, above average renders, you do have choices and all. Even if the game doesnt stands out for any of these aspects they are good enough and i would not take away any stars in any of them... but the weakest points for me is the sex and the "romance aspect", and this takes away 1 stars from each... theres no much build up, no chimestry or sexual tension
For the sex content. (Contain sex spoilers.)
1 - MC is chating with Leyala, we have a option to have sex with her or not. If we say yes, next render he gives her a kiss, next render shes walking to the bed already naked while mc is lying already naked on the bed, next render shes already giving him a BJ........when sex ends, we can choose do it inside or outside, next render shows where you chose, next render MC is talking with the black guy later on the same night.
2- MC is talking with Mei and she offers sex. If you say yes, then theres 2 renders of them saying "for science" to each other, next render shes already sucking his dick with both of them already naked, when it ends you can choose inside or outside, theres a render of it and update ends...yeah, just like that. ..And its almost the same for any sex scene i can remember..some have a bit more but still not enough to create sexual tension
Its like they didnt want to make a porn game and just attached some sex scenes to it, so even scenes with major characters seems like filler sex.
For the "romance aspect", characters dont seem like they are really close because the romance development is not good,... this game was not able to convince me that MC really loves any of the women, the relationships seems artificial and without substance ...and the way sex scenes are constructed doesnt help.

10 hours playing on Steam.

Pros:

• The story is decent.
• Female characters are beautiful
• Good dialogue

Cons:

• The lewd scenes are so boring, feels like it's separated from the plot. The MC and 2 girls just met each other first time and were able to do a threesome after that lol
• I feel kind of disappointed about the character Kerros, I expect his strength will be 8/10 compared to Lucius because of his first impression. But then later we see that Atlas can treat him like a puppy.

Medicore, everything about this game is kind of medicore(season 1/chapter 1 that was the last time I played). The plot is extremely weird and boring in the beginning and is a mess. Characters build up is even worst, there is apparently no good reason why people like the Mc other than the fact he is a heir and is a playboy(hard to believe considering he seems extremely dumb). Graphics are pretty good and some of the female characters model is also great. Sadly, the plot sucked so much for me that I dropped it and developer really need to find a balance between porn and story.

Review as of v0.17. One of the better games I've seen on here, the plot is actually good and graphics do show an improvement from the start till the latter parts of the game. I was so impressed with this game that I bought it on Steam to library collection. Hope that this takes off and when it is completed some of the textures at the start can be touched up to be on par with the more recent renders.

the descriptor of 4 stars on this site is "good" and that is a perfect description for this game: it's good. It's not one of the best games around, but it's also not as bad as some of the reviews here are saying.
First the good.
The characters are engaging and you have the ability to mold the MC and the LIs in ways that hopefully will bear fruit in the long run.
Most of the models are quite attractive and the still renders are solid. The dev also has a nice eye for framing the sex scenes so the still renders are quite arousing.
The narrative is pretty pulpy but not in an awful way and while i do admit to skipping through some of the more domestic scenes I did find myself interested in where the narrative was going
now the bad.
While the narrative is engaging the writing is spotty. Too often the characters speak like 15 year olds which is especially off putting for characters that are suppose to be 100s of years old.
While visualy the game is well put together overall, the animations are spotty, they appear to be getting better but still have too many odd artifacts like clothes clipping, poke through in a hair cap or teeth looking strange. Animations are difficult and the ones here aren't awful, some do add quite a bit to the sex scenes but they're too spotty overall to rate this as high as some of the best games out there.
finally it would be nice to see a bit more impact to the molding of the characters. For example pushing Leyala to be more assertive with your choices should open up opportunities for her to be more assertive sexually as well. This happens once early on but should be a bigger part of the game imo.
Overall a good game and recommended for pretty much anyone who likes fantasy/vampire stuff. If you aren't into that or have harem/power fantasy withdrawl this game probably won't interest you

I really can't find anything bad that would be worth mentioning here. This is a great game. Writing is superb, setting is not overused and the renders and animations are good too. He, there is even the option to skip sex scenes for the rare individual that visits this site and does not want to see them.

Overall a great game, and I REALLY hope it does not go the same way as a similar, now abandoned game...

The game has good renders and I liked the art, but sadly that's where I have to stop. The story is catchy at the beginning and included some good jokes at the beginning, but as the acts go by, it becomes boring, predictable, and repetitive. There are no real consequences for the MC's choices rather than some changes in the dialogs, with the exception of the ones when meeting the original LI. The main story/plot continues as if nothing.

LI relationships are also a mess. From having ¨the bond¨ with the initial LI as something magical and unique, MC ends up bonded with the half town in there, without a real or well-developed reason. The fact that nearly all the female characters in the game throw themselves at the MC doesn't help much with it.

At a certain point, it becomes more of a porn game, as there are more lewd scenes than dialogs/stories. Even with good art/renders/animations, it becomes too much and gets frustrating.

All in all, the idea for the plot was interesting but did not get to be developed as it deserved.
