Ren'Py - Completed - Thieves of Dingirra [v1.0.3] [Winter Wolves]

giving it 2 stars for the game itself. would probably be a 3, because the RPG sandbox elements are quite good; but the following removes that 3rd star with force:

1. this is not a game that includes all of its genre tags. saying it includes oral sex because there's a cut scene describing the oral sex that takes place off screen isn't the same as including it in the game.

2. the game is the grind. if you remove grinding for LIs, grinding for territory and grinding for stats... that's removing the whole game (other than battles if you play them - there's an option to avoid them when you start the game).

3. cheating most of the variables is difficult at best. you can skip grinding for money by using an online editor (such as grviewer, for example, since saveeditonline has no idea what's in the save file); but figuring out what variable names are given to stats, skills or bonuses, if you dare to adjust them and chance missing any of the cut scenes that may only trigger on grind gains, is difficult at best.

so it's a reasonably decent FRPG, but a NSFW game, imho, it is not.

There is no sex to be found here my good Gooner, only the grind exists here. And the grind could be good as the Lord, if only the reward was worth it. Sadly you won't find much of anything here. The story is painfully mid at best, the characters and their design is the same and frankly i could have written a better story. Anything better than a “Thieves guild takes over a city with a plot twist at the end! (Surprise!)”.
The only real reason i'm giving this game a 3/5 instead of a 1 star lower is because this game in my eyes personifies the quintessential definition of a mediocre game, and that in itself deserves some recognition. Don't bother downloading and playing, unless you really, REALLY like what you are seeing.
