Ren'Py - Abandoned - The Tyrant [v0.9.6] [Saddoggames]

3.5- Lackluster

Game has a solid skeleton to work with, but missing all the other body parts to make it a full functioning body. Story is meh, hard to believe, difficult to follow. The only fun part is a choice you make between full on corruption or romance (corruption path is way better).

Models are good, H scenes are average and rare, at least they are repeatable. Characters have some some sort of personality, but end up being just that, they just there, existing in their boring shelf.

Game is at the very strange stage, its not a novel, but its not a solid sandbox either. It should just stick to one route and build on that.

Cool graphic and interesting plot. Author, please, don't abandon this game. I like this game and I waiting for continue. Thank you. If you read this of course.

Sorry for my English. It's not my native language.

A great corruption game, with lovely created (female) characters and a lot of options to try out and repeat for several hours. Just a little less need to repeat several events over and over again to get on with the story, would have been great, to give the feeling of a more in harmony storytelling. But this would be complaining at the highest level. So far it seems to be a little more than half finished (0.65) and you can have a lot of fun right now and feel the potential of things to cum ;-)

Goodish game...if you like ntr you'll probably like this game more than me you can turn ntr off at the start of the game if you leave it on you'll need to constantly interact with the girls to keep your relationship high failed to do so and it will start triggering ntr scenes.

WARNING: To those that don't like ntr never look at the CG images or special renders it would only serve to annoy you and the game is pretty straightforward so you don't need to look at them to see if you missed a scene also you don't need a walkthrough the game has one built-in although it's not the best it's better than the PDF one.

Nothing amazing about the story but good dialogues during the scenes and nice renders too.

Also has built-in cheats to manipulate love, corruption and relationship which I guess is essentially the mood seeing how it goes down every night.

Probably to early to give a fair description.

Most of scenes still set for day 1 meaning they dont evolve as relationship evolves so can go from a hardcore scene one hour to next hour getting total cold shoulder. This makes it extremely clunky and grindy at moment. Having said that it is clear this is getting worked on with some of scenes.

For some reason this is another game developer that seems to think women cant be protagonists in NTR so cant avoid it, very annoying when you trying to keep Alexis innocent and a chick walks in your room uninvited and kisses her once and Alexis instantly sluts out and has secret rendezvous regardless of grind you put in building relationship. Just because 2 girls making out is hot doesnt mean its not NTR. (I actually like NTR when playing corrupt path but I hate when you grinding through games playing a romance path one woman at a time and you get still cant keep partner faithful,,,maybe just me though).

Casandras love date is anything but love, its corruption all the way and beyond me why it has love requirement as so anti love not funny. Is very strange when game description pushes love path as way to regaining the girls lost innocence to have such a "love" scene that was 100% carnal pleasure.

Language is poorly done though actual writing ok, I can forgive this as clearly non english speaker.

Love the Models. Writing is allright. Getting around is clunky and realtionships can get grindy. Overall promising game with very sparse updates unfortunately. Great for NTR fans. The multiple story lines are revolutionary of sorts and is in the right direction.

This is one of the best games. a great story that develops at the right speed. Excellent graphics. Maybe add a little video. I put 5 points, because I look forward to the continuation of this game. Fantasy draws a lot of variations of the scenario.

This game is the definition of a groundhog day grind fest.
You are just living the same day over and over, with the same dialog over and over. After grinding it for weeks in game time, you might get a new comment here or there. But its really not worth it. Even with cheats!
It has a few events, but it does not end up saving it at the end.
The story gives the illusion of depth early on, but it really has none.

The story needs more.
The dialogs need more changes. Just reliving the same thing over and over is painful.
The way it "feels" now is that the game takes 6h to play 1h of content.

i played it .... non ntr because i don't like ntr

what did i find ? simply said a very FLAT story wich feels loopy, to many places for those few characters and an extremly high grinding need ... so it is running in circles for a very very low reward

was it worth a try ? nope

the flat story seems to give you options but if you go against your dads plans you progress slow there is no purifying wich the game offers relationships break in no matter what you do etc etc etc .... so if you like being forced to play in a predestined manner go ahead .... i can't recommend it at all

Good
1. Great premise (I love NTR)
2. Really good renders
3. Huge potential

Bad
1. Been more than a year and very little to play, and the fact that the file size is 3.5 gigs makes it all the more irritating
2. Absolute grind fest right now. Same day repeated over and over.
3. Frustrating that the same conversations and moments are repeated even after you complete what should be THE key moments in the game
4. Promising huge potential but hardly any of it achieved so far
5. Very irregular development cycle
6. This latest update really disappointing after waiting for it for so long

might edit my review if the game actualy develops further but from what all has happened so far, highly likely this game will be abandoned soon after all of us fans first abandon it.

Well built story. kinky situations and excellent character and character background. One thing i would like to point out is the drag but its well worth spending time on this game. Its rewarding nature is pure gold. And not a lot of NTR games out, especially good ones like The Tyrant. Its without a doubt one of my favorite. Expecting this game have a great future.

This game is 'OK' it has potential, but I am afraid its going to be abandoned. Its pretty bare bones right now and navigating the game isn't very fun. Its not a smooth VN game but, those where you have to move around the map. Its strongest point is the theme of the story and what it promises it could become and being able to be an asshole. I am tired of all these fucking games where you are a pussy gentleman and can only get with one girl. These are porn game, where the main focus is the sex and not the story, all the stories are pretext for the sex and they are never good.

Renders 3/5: They are nice, some of the backgrounds and models feel not very polished. The girls look pretty good tho, expect the old lady.
Story 3/5: The best thing about this game is a story that promises sex and its not some bullshit romance crap. The game doesn't take itself too seriously either, which I think its good. NTR sex, no bullshit. Can be a bad guy and be a in a gang and do dark dirty shit. SOLD. Sadly there isn't much story development as of yet, only a few scenes.
Girls 3/5: I do like the girls, you have a wide cast and they are fairly interesting and good looking. I tried to play with the MOD that 1k people says it has better writing and fleshes out more the girls, but it crashed my game. Standard game is fine tho.
Sex 3/5: NTR options. There is more sex than story literally. Lots of potential, more than most games out there. Most sex interaction are mild, there are sex scenes tho, some feel a bit short and the girls aren't very responsive. There are also some animations, but rather crude. This needs some work, but I guess you could even out with quantity over quality.

Overall a game which is very bare bones, but has a lot of promise. If you like NTR, keep an eye on it.

I give this game a four star rating for a couple of reasons regardless of my own personal dislike of NTR in general the game itself does it well giving the player multiple choices you love ntr play with hard ntr on your almost gurrenteed to see it. You don't mind ntr but don't paticularly want to see it play with ntr on but keep the stats high and you will never have to see it. Don't like ntr at all then play vanilla though the game might not make much sense. Now the renders and models are great my own favortie is the little sister gasp i know a shocker right most seem to love the mom and that's fine they are all hot im just a sucker for the innocent ones. The plot is solid though the characters could use some more development. I would reccomend giving the game a try it is one of the better games out there in my opionion and Alexis im coming for that v card and if the gang gets in my way well that's what shovels are for to get rid of unwanted obstacles

I'm rating it low because I realize this game contains a substantial amount of NTR, something I'm not interested in. So I'm rating it according to how much I enjoyed it.

The NTR isn't forced, however, the game offers very little else at the moment. There is practically no content to experience right now, and what little there is, requires hours of spammy clicking to grind out points with the characters in order to experience it without cheating.

The game was posted here In October of 2017. One year later, and it's only on version 0.5 with extremely little new content. I don't recommend you contribute to the author's patreon.

(Update 5.5) This update was terrible and made the game worse. The character actions were not at all believable, and the dialogue was extremely robotic. The scenes did not make sense, considering the content leading to them.

I dislike this game now. I don't think it's worth checking again in the future. A damn shame to see an initially promising game dying like this.

LOVE NTR/HATE NTR.
Some people keep whining like a baby about NTR stuff and give bad review. saddog try to balance this game with that stuff. as you know if you keep complaining about NTR on the game prefer you dont play it.
so this game not complete yet , and you already give bad review because HATE NTR and which under progress? its still half baked...
It make me sick to seeing NON NTR review "HATE NTR" on NTR games!
Did'nt you see NTR Tag huh...

the Tyrant v0.5 ★★★★★
This game is very nice with a very interesting story. models that are very precise and captivating. especially for the character of nicole (she referred queen of this Game). the player has the right to choose a different path and determine their destiny. sacrifice, love, corruption is all here. the scene enough to awaken lust players lol. (I wish it would be more in the future). no doubt this game is my favorite .
It is unfortunate there are scenes that had to be discarded because of certain regulations. but thanks to modder can restore the lost thing.
the process of developing quite a long and there may be some bugs (I can understand because it is not easy to make a game). I hope saddog can complete this game. with an interesting and long story.and need to add scene for threesome and gangbang^^

Genre.
almost all genre i like it in this game ,

Finishing Sex.
I'm glad saddog give options for this. like the cum in the face or mouth and make the girl swallow it (fucking Hot). pussy/anus, outside/inside. Thanks for more option ^^

Render.
OK, pretty good Rendering, I give the point 8/10. Hopefully it will be more better in the future.

This is one of the best games. a great story that develops at the right speed. Excellent graphics. Maybe add a little video. I put 5 points, because I look forward to the continuation of this game. Fantasy draws a lot of variations of the scenario.

best female models..especially the aunt lol..also the domination is great..needs a walkthrough badly.
Walkthrough for both corruption/love will be very helpful. alot of bugs in the game too.
Add strength + vitality elements too that helps us in the ntr situations..

LOVE LOVE LOVE this game. corruption & going along with it for "cover" hyuk! Sooo good.I would strongly encourage the dev to make LOTS more mom stuff and help us with cheat mode a bit more. Buying different outfits for her (going to the beach) making her expose herself. Thats super hot. I can see many great things coming to this game. The ONLY MINOR drawback of this game is when you run into "repeat" events. I realize they are needed, just my heart sank when I hit my first one so early on. I would be nice if many dates, many dinner, many gym scenarios existed.

this game is one of the best! it bothers me that it gets bad reviews just because some people don't like NTR. If you don't like NTR, don't play this game.

great graphics, wide range of scenes, updates quickly, and decent writing.

Unfortunately, like so many other similar games, Saddog still needs to (much!) develop the script to make sense of his story. Although the NTR content makes sense, it is better developed compared to the non-NTR option, leaving only one path available for sex scenes. Until update 0.4.5, the story leaves much to be desired than was promised in the introduction of the game with the exception of renderings. As one member said in a comment: "The tyrant is a good game to play only next year."
