    Great game! Though i am not a fan of NTR, it was easy to avoid it and it wasnt that big of a problem. The female characters models were great(except the big sister) especially the milf mom, she was my fav. The only 2 things that stopped me giving 5 stars is that sadly it is abandoned and the other being the i just didnt like the protagonist's model. He looks really some ugly dud and his hairstyle was really bad, sometimes it even made me feel like that guy doesnt deserve those girls

    This is one was one of my first NTR western games, I started to play it since 0.3 version and decided to rate it now.

    Pros
    • Good renders
    • Many of the situations and scenes outta sandbox routine are good
    • Nice hard blood-boiling NTR content
    • Preggos with abortion or birth decision, jesus christ, that's uncommon
    • Mildly good story with relevant conclusions. Delivers the "kill the bad guy and win" promise
    • Nice wardrobe system, buggy and incomplete though
    Cons
    • EXTREMELY BUGGY
    • Sandbox system is annoying as hell
    • Money earning is slow and the negative relationships points everyday are a bit incoherent.
    • Dialogs are very simple, so characters dont have enough depth
    • Cum renders are too shitty
    It's a shame if the dev decides to leave it just like that without fixing the sea of bugs

    Good beginning of a game, and that's what the score is for. I don't usually like cartoons but this one was interesting. It's nice that the game conveys the whole range of controlling to relaxed personality of the protagonist, and if the inconsistencies (like dead people suddenly being alive) would've been fixed there wouldn't really have been anything to complain about at all.

    Sad that it was abandoned so early in development, I hope the dev is just taking a break because of life and nothing worse in these scary times.

    So good but so bad at the same time! Really fucking hot scenes but what the hell are are we doing with this sandbox format! The models are meh but the concept is pretty good. The repeating is awful seeing the same event OVER AND OVER. The game is okay but it's not fun the way it's set up. Just make it more simplistic. If the player wants NTR or Mack Daddy mode just pick one and let the scenes play out IN ORDER, no need to play the same thing 100 times!

    First I'll start with the good: this is a 4 star game in terms of renders, story and amount of scenes. (probably would be 5 stars potential if renders where better quality)

    Renders are good, they are not the best you'll see, but with this 'ok' render quality the dev was able to make really hot characters, specially (of course) Nicole.

    The story is original and I find really hot the 'tyranic' interaction of the MC with the girls, specially Nicole, again.

    There are many scenes, and I apreciate that it repeats the different kinds of sex, and it's not a linear slow tease like other new games that makes you want to die or go watch porn videos to end the misery.

    I was gonna rate 2 stars because it is abandoned and it would be totally unfair to rate it better because other people is trying to finish stuff with a lot of effort and I like finished games.

    But... I ended up rating 3 stars because making this review made me remember the good stuff that this game delivers and there is a lot of content, so I think it was unfair rating so low, even when I hate abandoned games.

    If the dev decides to finish the game I'll surely update my rating.

    oh hey there, ya don't mind me I'm just leaving these flowers for this waste of potential, such a shame honestly the art was nice and the story could have been good but the more and more you get into it the worst and messy it gets

    that's all I really have to say about this game, it's dead, and its nowhere near completion, ill delete this review if things change but as of rn just don't waste your time with this game

    I recommend it if you want to see a waste of potential
    I don't recommend it if you like finished or alive things

    Ranting Old Man

    I like this game a lot and yet I also hate it. 1st issue that needs addressing and the most important thing wrong with the game is it's story. It's just not believable. An easy fix would be to remove the entire "under cover cop" sanario and instead go with a corrupted police officer route or a formerly a police officer route. Undercover just doesn't work with the immersion.

    The next issue that needs addressing is some of the characters extreme personality shifts. This is something that totally ruins immersion. I get NTR crowd always want dumb shit to happen but if your just going after NTR bucks your going to lose everyone else. That doesn't mean don't include NTR it just means make it believable. So what's the problem? The mother is one of the biggest. During her love path and even beginning of the game she wants you to have nothing to do with the others, yet even on corruption path you can tell she isn't comfortable with you being around this gangster shit and is even very vocal about it
    Yet on the NTR path she's a completely different person. Willingly accepts her daughters getting raped, getting fucked in front of her son and working with the very people she wants you to stay away from not only without remorse but also enjoying the entire thing. The same can be said as true with the youngest sister. She was somehow separated from everything but as soon as she meets the Antagonist suddenly she's ready to become a super slut and have a complete personality change. There isn't any real build up it happens to quickly and without any real merit. You could argue that the women were under the influence of the drug but the mom is supposedly allergic and she would supposedly kill davied if he got her youngest involved. Yet on the NTR path, characters are completely broken. They don't follow their personalities at all. Now i will make an exception for older sister and her best friend. In fact I think that her personality was fine all the way through and the explanations where a bit better. This isn't the same as a loving mother whom would murder to protect her kids or an innocent girl whos scared of kissing automatically having rough sex and sucking cock. Nope older sister's personality and story as well as her best friend fits well into the NTR theme and it's even more rewarding on the love path because it's almost like you are trying to save them. All in all the NTR for mom and younger sister should be redone to include story arcs that actually match their personalities.

    My next grip is the fact that the stats don't mean anything aside from Mom, Sisters and sister's friend. That's it. Dad hate David hate doesn't mean anything nor does their love or support. These counters where basically added just to be there. Further more The stats for the main characters take unreasonable falls daily. This is only corrected if you shower all of them with gifts daily. Relationships should have a specific reason for the fall.

    Lastly the Dev as told to me by several Patreons and long term fans, comes and goes like the wind always creating an uncertainty about the games future.

    So what did I like about it? Honestly I'm mostly attached to the story surrounding the older sister. I'm also a fan on her model, personality, style and paths. She is without a doubt the most thought out and well developed character in the game. I understand everyone's appeal to the mother but honestly the NTR path just breaks the immersion for me for her.

    I'm also a huge fan of the corruption element with the younger sister. It felt very natural and how something like that would develop. Just spare me the Bullshit NTR path.

    I truly enjoy this game and wish for it's completion. However I can't in good conscience rate it anything more than a 2/5 Stars.

    * Story - Story lacks immersion therfore isn't believable.
    * Character Development - the characters break character too much between None NTR and NTR.
    *** Graphics - graphics could be better but aren't terrible.
    *** Animations are fluid but lacking in detail. Improvements to graphics would help.
    * Game play Mechanics - too much grinding with not enough reward, changing stats for no reason and stat counters that don't actually do anything hurts the game.

    Overall Score ** 2/5 stars

    I would recommend this game for people who enjoy humiliation, NTR and corruption. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone else. Until the story improves.

    This was one of my faves when I tried it, very much hope it gets updated. It has a lot of fun dark themes (more corruption then force), and I found myself wanting to explore some of the different branches through it. The art is good, some of the scenes get pretty kinky / hot, and you find yourself wanting to unlock more stuff. There are parts that get a bit grindy as you try to figure out how to unlock the next portion.. but not too bad. Very much want to play more of it

    VERSION: 0.9.1 (NTR Disabled)

    While research appears to indicate that audiences prefer linear narratives, thus accounting for their common nature across all forms of media, The Tyrant seeks to buck this trend by employing a genuine sandbox element; the extent to which it accomplishes that feat is debatable.

    Fundamentally, The Tyrant offers very little that is new or fresh in the genre, relegating gameplay to the typical grind of repeated scenes in order to arbitrarily increase a character's affection, love or corruption points. While certain scenes provide the ability to skip them once viewed, others must be played in their entirety every time... this includes assigning a name to a character in one particular event at the gym. It's impossible to stress how odd it is to name someone only to return the next day to do so again, although it can be amusing to impart them with a personality disorder by altering their name on each unique occasion.

    Similar continuity-based errors are so commonplace as to scarcely merit attention, an understandable result of the game's sandbox nature and hopefully one that is addressed with the development of additional content, though several are particularly discordant. By way of example: after progressing with the mother such that she's comfortable providing the protagonist a handjob in their living room, the player may encounter her in a repeated scene at the gym where they aid her in stretching and inadvertently achieve an erection in the process. When her feet touch their swollen member, despite having done so earlier that morning in a far more intimate and voluntary manner, she now becomes instantly outraged.

    The lack of content also manifests in the partially realized clothing system, which allows the player to choose how several of the female cast dress. A fine concept, even if it feels somewhat "gamey" given that the options are restricted based on corruption/love values; numerous scenes lack renders appropriate to the desired attire and, as such, the models appear either inappropriately dressed or nude with a red error message over their body.

    Core mechanics, such as relationship values and gift-giving, are also prone to flaws that nullify the player's actions. Relationship values drop sporadically and without justification, the mother's typically decreasing by 10 each day regardless of how or even if the player interacts with her, whereas others register no change whatsoever. Furnishing any given woman with multiple gifts, at the single opportunity the player is afforded per day, will invalidate all but the first turning every other gift into wasted time and money.

    The primary flaw that consistently derails the experience, however, is the script itself. The writing is awkwardly formatted and indisputably composed by someone for whom English is a second language, with strange idioms and elementary spelling mistakes.

    "You'll call her mom, but it's need when others call her."
    "You go back upstairs to your room. Your brain full of fucks."
    "...when she try's to impress me again."
    "Thru this playing there are some people who don't like us."
    "That's nice, loud laughing was really amusing."
    "He'll loose her to me, hahaha."
    "Yes, but they gave him a chance and he took it, for the best of our family."
    "You're really need to know them."
    "So I hoped you would join our play as the son that would fit in with a father in this playing."
    "He could even take advantage of one of my sisters, even if I don't think he isn't into young girls."
    "I'll make some boiled dinner."
    "Yes, it's cheap to make and makes us sated."
    "Shit, I'm just like my father. Leeching her sexy boobs."
    "That's your opinion now, but over the time you'll follow your heart."
    "Yes. You're right. I choosed you."
    "Then I'll slinding it inside me, slowly and gentle."
    "Like when you give me more sperm, it would overpower the anti baby pill."
    "Perfekt to caress and grope."
    "Shhh... Sometimes each gentleman fail <giggle>"

    The most consistently odd of these is the use of "hihihi" in lieu of "hehehe" as onomatopoeia for laughter.

    On a more positive note, although the developer chose to include some extremely divisive material, such as NTR (which involves aspects of both infidelity and humiliation), they elected to allow players to disable its appearance. A wise choice and one other developers ought to emulate.

    Graphically, the game compares favorably with many of its contemporaries despite being far removed from the cutting edge. A number of flaws are present, such as render-related artifacts and odd black scribbles on the mother's forehead, but overall the presentation is consistent and attractive. Very few animations exist, but each has a surprising degree of fluidity courtesy of a decent frame rate and some artistic finesse.

    Even so, the sheer amount of content that seems half-heartedly developed, broken or simply missing begins to pile up as the minutes pass, creating a tower of mismatched blocks that threatens to crumble at the slightest breeze. The bumbling charm of the dialogue becomes lost in its inadvertent defects, reduced to so much incomprehensibility. The frequency of inferior graphical assets increases, including the most disturbing model of an infant imaginable that resembles a clay figurine carved by a blind man.

    It was at that sight, having already been tempted to quit, that The Tyrant supplied a particularly apropos bit of dialogue which accurately encompassed my thoughts: "I'm out of here, you fucking me up!"


    GRAPHICS ----------------------------------------------- 6 / 10
    + Renders are of consistent quality and decent composition.
    + POV shots are a nice touch and fairly unique in the genre.
    + Quality animations with fluid motion, though extremely limited in number.
    - Certain models are of distinctly low quality; several items appear to be two-dimensional images layered atop the render.
    - Background and general environment art is mediocre.

    DIALOGUE ----------------------------------------------- 2 / 10
    - Grammatical, typographical and formatting errors in ludicrous abundance. English fluency is abysmal.
    - Dialogue is often choppy and, at times, borderline incomprehensible.
    - Overarching narrative is nonsensical and irrelevant to the core experience.

    GAMEPLAY ---------------------------------------------- 4 / 10
    - Grind is unavoidable and necessary in order to progress with any relationship.
    - Event skipping is inconsistent, necessitating entire scenes be replayed. Dialogue in several is repeated unnecessarily.
    - Core relationship mechanics are poorly explained and prone to loss without discernible cause.
    - Gift-giving mechanics often fail to register a change.

    INNOVATION ------------------------------------------- 5 / 10
    + Genuine sandbox aspect allows for an extreme degree of freedom.
    + Ability to disable certain fetish content (NTR) is a welcome addition and allows for a wider potential playerbase.
    + Character-specific attire based on relationship values is a pleasant, if contrived, addition that fosters variety.
    - Sandbox is poorly implemented and largely bereft of content. Placeholders abound.
    - Continuity errors are frequent, often interfere with progression and occasionally demand repeated player input.
    - Numerous missing texture and exception errors. Engine seems ill-suited to the task.


    SCORE ============================ 17 / 40
    DEMANDS CONSIDERABLE DEVELOPMENT, UNWORTHY OF YOUR TIME
    The Tyrant's ambition is commendable yet does little to excuse the pitiable state of its development. Too substantial a portion of its purported content is unfinished, haphazardly composed or absent, to say nothing of the flaws that checker what has already been released. Further development may alter its fate but, for now, an impartial player cannot help but dwell on that oldest of dictums: sic semper tyrannis.


    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIQUE: Consult an editor, preferably one with at least a native-fluency of English, in order to amend the various errors throughout your script. Consider removing placeholder flags and locations until they are replete with content; better to avoid adding something that may never be filled (as with so many of these projects) than to risk incurring potential backlash. Plot your narrative, I would recommend draw.io for this purpose, such that you can anticipate any potential continuity errors; address those errors immediately as they otherwise derail the experience.

    A game that had a lot of potential... When you play you realize that the story is interesting, characters are interesting and that there is a lot of choice/interaction between Corruption or Romance. What more could you ask for?

    So let's play, a big part of our gameplay is to go around on the map, always repeating the same scenes & dialogues, but after 6 hours of playing almost everything becomes tasteless...

    I don't know what happened for 3-4 years of development, but The Tyrant is a disaster. The progress of the characters is very slow, the reward comes with mini changes and teasing that will have to be repeated over and over again, it is the same thing all the time.

    How to explain a development so long to finally have a feeling as if it were half abandoned? I don't know.

    I can't recommend The Tyrant, if you absolutely want to play it, do it with the SAZ mod. That's all I can do. 2/5

    Alright...

    I wanted to give 3 stars, but it goes on 2.

    It's beena long time sinze i played that game first time...feel like years.

    And what's up today ?

    Well, honestly much and not much in same time.

    It's nice that the game have NTR and non NTR path, along with various way such as romance or Corruption.

    But well, it end like many others, with places to visit over and over for no reasons others than searching for some content.
    The grind, its here, its not super hard, but its here and honestly turn boring after a moment, specially with fact that we aren't pay much for the job, while on other hans, things cost not alots but enougth to eat your money quickly.
    The devs even put an option to "snip" the already seen scenes, and for a reason, because many scene are repeated multiples times.... infinitly in fact .
    The content on itself is good and there is a good amount, but honestly it doesnt feel like a reward, more like a jackpot composed of 1 buck coming out of a lucky charm shit. It seriously feel like you got lucky, instead of a well deserved reward for the hard work.

    expect a sex ( like "actual fucking", you know .. a dick in a pussy) under the shower with your mother/landlady/whateversheis ???
    Well, good luck, because the teasing is going to kill you before you finally get to it.
    Acctual corruption of the family member is like successfully allowing a cat to accept the fact that you are going to scratch his fur with your socket after you end a sport session. In other words, it aint gonna happen before the next 2 years of grinding.
    beside that, the sex scene is honestly not much, in addition to not feelrewarding, they feel too short and simple. At the point that you gonna pass them without even realise that its already finish.
    And funny enougth, eve if the family member is corrupted as fuck to the max, they will complain against you later on... Like the mother-whatever who constantly gonna cry because you corrupted her enougth to give you a handjob and suck your dick while she was drunk. -_-

    soo yeah, in simple way. The game have good amount of content, but that's about it. The grind is forced long, the sex doesnt feel rewarding and are too short , and the story progression feel completly blank as you feel like nothing change in long term.

    a star for the chars
    a star for the content and fact that you can go "NTR" or "non NTR"
    3 stars out due to sex not feeling good , grind forced badly and a story that feel ending in nowhere even after all the progress made.

    PS : i dont remember sinze when the game is under development, but damn, that's long and doesnt feel much added to me honestly.

    There's an interesting story hidden under an utter mess of repetitive bullshit and meaningless grind. The gameplay structure is complete garbage, literally worst I've seen yet in a VN.

    The english is non-native and mistake-filled, but that's forgivable for me. What's not okay is the really poor continuity, the scattered and noncontiguous flow of the story and relationship progression. The main character is illogical and annoying, nothing he does make sense within the context of the story, the author doesn't try to justify any of his actions, just forces it based on gameplay. The plot is more unique than most.

    Graphics are mediocre.

    I am giving this a 4.5-5.0. Love this game, it is buggy, but somehow, I keep coming back to it and I know why:

    The renders are awesome, the story is well done and since I love NTR so much, I love the dark side of this game.

    I uggest playing this with Mod created by SAZ, who provides some great enhancement to the game. The game on its own is plenty fun too.

    Not sure if it was intentional, but I feel its amusing to see the MC looks like Jamaican...? mom looks White and dad looks like a Korean hunk. There are bugs too, but no worries, the game is fun and enjoyable and very much entertaining and arousing ;)

    It has so much potential but falls slightly short. The renders are very good, the initial setup leads to many corruption/blackmail/forced scenes and the characters themselves are interesting.

    Unfortunately, character progression is all over the place. They submit too quickly with no reluctance and buildup making the scenes feel empty and without impact on story development.

    There game quickly turns in a loop and slight (however not overdone) grind. It is worth picking up but it could have been (still can?) much more.

    The Tyrant offers a lot of hot lewd scenes, especially going down the corruption route. Only a few scenes are animated as of now but the game is constantly updated. The game got a little janky when you force pregnancies but that can always be turned off. NTR can also be avoided.

    Overall a good game with a lot of corrpution/forced scenes. Only issue is that the characters submit to you almost instantly, good for a fap, not for story.

    Tyrant has great renders, an interesting story, and it stands out against most other top Ren'Py games for it's uniqueness. Unfortunately, the faults outnumber the positives. Terrible writing and even worse dialogue are two of the biggest sins here; I don't think the creator is a native English speaker... Gameplay is meh. There's certainly worse out there. It's lots of repeat X, go here at w/e time to trigger w/e event, etc. Walkthrough or cheat mod is necessary. Development time on this game has been atrocious, and peaking at the code it's no wonder each update takes forever. The code is a mess, which would make adding new content a time-consuming pain.

    So, neat vision, but the execution of that vision is pretty bad.

    Decent renders. Horrible story, poor gameplay, grindy, bad dialogue, bad english.

    Most events are not removed/changed after other story events should have affected them. I first played this two years ago and after playing again now I see there is a lot more content, but the same problems still persist.

    The main character is certainly the biggest asshole you could find in any lewd game around. He's certainly the most manipulative and that doesn't care about anyone other than his penis. This makes things a bit weird at times, but the nsfw elements of the game make it worth playing. Still, I won't be playing future updates.
  19. 1.00 star(s)

    K18

    A waste of time grindy & repetitive open world game. The repeated "Be at 'X' place at 'X' time to trigger story event" and random guessing type of game.

    The story events don't carry over into the open world/free-roaming part of the game, which is a big issue. Example, you can get rid of certain characters in the story, but those said characters will appear again in the free-roaming as if nothing happened and the other characters not reacting to the story events. Or when you have MC in a romantic relationship with the main girls like Nicole and Cassandra in the story events, but in the free-roaming there's no changes or callbacks to the story developments. With Cassandra, she will still be seen with her previous boyfriend as a couple like nothing happened in the free-roam part. Same with Nicole, Bruce is still hanging other even after you got rid off him and that Nicole bumped him.

    On the story, where the MC either saves his family from the crime involvement and get rid of the annoying thugs, or MC corrupts them and part-take fully in the crimes, or does nothing and gets cuckolded. I focused on saving the family and getting rid of the thugs while romancing the girls. Over time the main story aspects seems lost, leaving storylines all over the parts and just quickly glanced over the part of getting rid the thugs. In 0.9.1 Davide the gang boss is easily gotten rid of and is just treated a petty criminal instead of the big threat at the beginning of the story.

    Most of game development seems to focused on fixing bugs in free-roaming and/or focused on the netorare/cuckolding route and the corruption route of the game. Little to no progression in the love/romantic route. Which sometimes isn't clear which route you're on. No character development with the side female characters. Repetitive scenes from early parts of the game are still around.

    This game's only saving grace is the decent renders of the female models. Those characters mainly being Nicole, then Cassandra and Irina, etc.

    The game would've been better if just focused on the story and character development with a more linear plot. Story driven, without the free-roaming/open world aspect in the game as it adds nothing to the story.

    I have a love hate relionship with this game.

    a verry good story but, the story gets weird and weirder as you progress.
    meaning.
    people that are dead are still around.
    people behave in some scenes the same as when the game started out
    so the further you get in this game the more the story lines start to mingle up

    i think the dev is focusing to much on new scenes , while he lost all sight of the story.

    i realy would reccomend he started to look back, and takes a look what a story line have for impact at earlier scenes.

    i still think this could be a one of the best stories ,,,when it wouldnt be such a mess
