Ren'Py - Completed - Villain's Legacy [v3.0.5] [Mad scientist lab]

Very underated game!

The setting is nice (humiliating and corrupting superheroines), the scenes vary, the dialogues with the brainless minions are hilarious sometimes. I hope the game don't get abandoned like almost all superheroine games.

I played v2.1.13.1 – Sandbox game with a male MC in a superhero world. MC gets humiliated by his wife (hard NTR) and his neighbors and later by several superheroes. He gets supergenius powers and swears revenge. Has bdsm, mdom and fdom tags.
It’s okay – the characters look okay (except for the MC), the sound is fine and a superhero setting is rare and fresh. The writing style is good enough that I can stomach it but not great.
Sadly the creator can’t seem to decide whether he wants to make a comedy or a serious story and mixed it – which can work – but here it did not. The scenes that are supposed to be serious are unbelievable and silly and the comedy is (to me) not funny.
The characters also seem like they are supposed to be over the top parodies, except when the creator wants you to take them seriously, only it once again doesn’t work.
The language also switches to italian sometimes without a reason.
Eh, let’s get to the bdsm content – there is some content with a shoplifter (spanking, public humiliation, light domination) and the heroines have some scenes once you defeat them (public humiliation, device bondage, spanking, tickling, watersports, forced orgasms, body writing, mind control/mind break – different depending on the heroine), some heroines have scenes with each other (lesbian, vanilla, domination, bondage, spanking) and some heroines/villainesses get a romance route either immediately or after you defeated them (vanilla, threesome, lesbian).
Interesting is the use of superpowers for sex – so far there was a cool superspeed scene, but we might get more in the future.
There is some fdom/mcsub content, if you let certain scenes go on, that is setup for yet another revenge arc but most fdom is on fsub.
The gameplay is pretty simple – earn money and fame, go after a heroine, find her weakness, defeat her.
The game’s main strength is the setting – there are not many superhero games I could recall off-handedly. Aside from that it’s not overly interesting. If you are bored you might want to give it a try.

Even ignoring the whole "ugly bastard" MC routine, it's just very mediocre.

There's no real story, the entire premise is you gradually corrupting each hero to join your side. The gameplay involved in getting money is incredibly boring and repetitive, and so your best bet is to just keep going through it a couple dozen times to get enough money to then ignore it for the rest of the game until necessary for the story.

The corruption of the girls is very generic and boring. There is essentially no GENUINE difference between each woman, because they go through the same process. Each of them go through the exact same steps with a different paint job.

The dev is clearly confused if we're meant to be a good guy or a bad guy, because no one that feels remorse would go out of his way to be so sadistic so often. Also doesn't help that we're supposed to be playing what they classify as a genius, and yet has very little intelligence (unfortunate, but obviously that relates to the dev).

Ultimately, just a waste of time. The only saving grace is it's technically a rarity as a good looking superhero game, but that's it's only saving grace.

Don't understand why ppl dislike this game. I think the author did a really good job in writing up a humorous yet erotic story. I already bought the game on steam to support the author. If you like superhero genre and comedy, you should definitely buy it.

main character starts out super annoying. probably have to be from dev's own experience, because you cannot make someone up who is this unsympathetic. he is jealous, he wanna cheat, he looks down on everyone, he is arrogant... yet he is mad when his wife would wanna cheat. complete wreck of a human. the beginning part was really unrealistic. like wanting to go home 20times just because they see your wife when he doesn't even really like his wife and is all about the Lola black girl

aside from premise and long intro:

then action suddenly starts out of nowhere. no explanation, you suddenly have a big base and a costume and etc. it's really dumb

the only good thing about this game is that models are very hot. there is music too but tbh it was more annoying than helpful.

but sex scenes are really bland and boring. and slow and rare. this is a porn forum. so purely rating the sex scenes would be close to 1/5 but models are very hot so i guess all in all 2/5 is justified. because there is a lot of very boring talk and clicking and dialogue and grind, for no reason, just to delay the nevertheless subpar sex scenes. maybe there are 1-2 sex scenes which are nice. so i suggest to unlock the gallery and watch them because this game is not fun to play, it's just boring.

Good renders and story too. Mc's wife cheat him in the beginning then Mc get power and he decides to become a villain. Even if he is a villain he got principles and he cares about his girls. if you don't like NTR don't worry it's only in the start and MC will take revenge for it. Yeah Mc's face looks like a goblin but you have to adjust it. It's part of the story. Even if it is a sandbox there is no grinding.

Loved the game looking forward to next updates. Keep up the good work dev

The real score would be 3.5, because I think this is slightly above average.

This game, or rather, this dev has great potential, despite there being obvious faults here.

(Spoilers)
Firstly, I can only really echo the other reviews here and give the disclaimer about the prologue: The game opens with a pretty long sequence of the MC getting "tortured" to set up the revenge-plot of the game. It is skippable by leaving the poker-game early, and mostly an unpleasant read if you're not into it.
After that there is another pretty long sequence that is mostly dry and worldbuild-y, and then the tone shifts completely into the best part of the game: sex-comedy about superhero-tropes.

I have to say, despite the medium being, in my opinion, kinda bad for comedy (hard to control the timing and setup of punchlines to tell good jokes) there is a lot of good, funny writing here, and the concept of a guy turning to supervillainy because of his small dick and failed masculinity is inherently funny, even if the game could have taken a more elegant, shorter and more funny path to it. Not to say I don't get that it's supposed to be relatable, and "justifiable".

I think the execution of the story-structure after the opening is kind of weak, with the gameplay being super barebones and storylines being just things you click off of a map. This is not the most elegant execution of this kind of concept, but it's what we have. You pretty much get dropped from the prologue into your lair, which is a jarring switchup.

The game also kind of lacks a connective tissue between "The origin story" and "taking down the heroine" in most scenarios. I think putting down more limits, like starting out with a selection of 3 heroes and branching out from there, would have contributed more to giving time to set up the characters slower, and give more time to limit progression from a no-name in a unitard to an actual threat. But I get that writing comedy is hard, there's a pressure to add content and prioritize sex-scenes, and it definitely was necessary to quickly make clear what the rest of the game was going to be, but still...

Speaking of content, the visuals are great. They might just be the most impressive part of the game, and do a good job being stimulating, and can carry most of the sex-scenes. But the scenes are mostly generic aside from the focus on NTR in the beginning, without really committing to any other theme besides the skin-tight, amazonian look of the women.

Overall, slightly better than average, and slightly more unique than most games. I am not a fan of pure VNs, so I would always like some more depth to gameplay, but you can't have everything.

Pretty terrible grammar and spelling.
The character models look good but that's about it.

I got too bored to keep going and the pseudo-politics just irritated the hell out of me. I think even if it wasn't broken English it'd still be some shitty writing.

The rare AVN with something interesting to say, but doesn't club you over the head with it. Usually pretty wacky and over the top in tone much like the comics from which it takes its inspiration. This doesn't stop it from managing to have some touching moments.

The basic premise is being a "villain", but in an unjust society, so the "evil" acts serve as a method to better society; think "The Boys", but sexier and more lighthearted. It's an enjoyable fantasy to inhabit and for the most part is well-executed. The campy tone is more 80s and 90s comic books than the modern superhero flick

The art is pretty good. Character designs and framing choices in the pics are well thought-out and thematically appropriate. The women are sexy, and while the MC is pretty goofy-looking, that's part of the point. The animations are pretty crude at this stage of development, but there's some indication that the dev is getting better as they go along.

The writing ranges from good to competent. There is some unevenness in the prose, as some parts show a good deal of polish, and others have some pretty awkward phrasing and word choices. The overall plot though is a lot of fun.

The major flaws in the game are consistency and pacing. There are some pretty jarring inconsistencies in the MCs behavior, and the sandbox nature of the gameplay leads to getting conversations that reference things that haven't happened yet, or didn't happen at all due to player choices. There are also some real grindy elements. The sanbox and resource-to-crafting loops work pretty well, but there are a few event chains that could have several steps cut from them without reducing the flow and feel of the plot.

Overall, though, this is well worth your time to play. I'll be watching this one!

This is a great game. When he first decided to become The Mind I thought he was going to be a gag villain who nobody took seriously. They take him seriously and recognize how dangerous he is and he shows it too. he doesn't have the aliens knowledge but has his intellectual potential and I think that's well written. I don't know if it was optional or not to see the ntr scenes in the past but I'm glad they gave the option to just go home even though later on the dialogue makes it seem like he did witness it. And he doesn't sound enthusiastic to get his wife back he just wants to get revenge on the guy and I couldn't stopped laughing when he shrunk his dick.

Generally high quality game. It has good character models. The writing is solid, especially considering it's translated. The interface is smooth and performance seems good - a rarity I find in image heavy renpy indie games. Nothing too obtuse and it's easy to progress the game.

Very good overall.

Story = Enjoyable, basic, nice.
Characters = All of them have different personalities. Legend.
Face graphics = good
Tits, boobs, ass graphics (renders) = Really bad. Not realistic.
Main character = Our character is evil so this is cool, legend. I'm tired of good main characters.

This game is a lot better than I thought it would be, especially after the beginning. The first part is a way overly drawn-out NTR scene where your wife decides to leave you during a get-together with the next door neighbors, even screwing the husband in front of you, because they showed her a tape of you peeping on them during sex. The plot would pretty much be the same without it, and I would recommend rushing through it to see some nice visuals, but is rather dumb in extremely dull ways.

After that, though, there is a good scene showing how you get your powers, and I think the game would have been better for starting right at this point. This is a standard "superheroes are jerks" dystopia that has been shown a lot by now, but the dialogue and characterizations can be a lot better than is typical in a porn game, including the MC. It is never "Avatar: The Last Airbender" levels of quality, and the characters can be annoying at times, including the MC, but some of the relationships end up a lot more interesting than one would expect, especially Cat Noir and your character.

There is not much to the gameplay aside from some grinding, and it can be hard at times to figure out what to do next. Sometimes you have to search your computer for a new option, sometimes you have to build something new, sometimes you need more fame, and it is not always clear what the options are. But once you get used to that, it can be overcome pretty quickly, and it is a pretty interesting story with some nice visuals and overall is done pretty well.

The first scene of this game is the most disgusting thing i have seen in a long while, yet it must have some revenge !? right? Well not really ...

Shrinking the Black guy dick really doesnt settle my thrist for blood, probably a big lack of imagination from the dev or guts, dont expect a satisfying experience from this game, you keep wanting more from the mc but he will continue to be weak, even when "super smart".

Dev if you need help about how to tortured people send me a word.

Quite interesting, the beginning is a bit "rude" for the MC, so I recommend "going home" when you have the opportunity (the ending the wife is a whore and leaves him anyway so it doesn't matter), visually it's very well, quite a few touches of humor, an ugly MC, true, but after a humiliating start he now seeks revenge as the bad guy in the story.

Recommended for those who don't like NTR? YES, it's just one scene and it's skippable (it happens but the girl leaves the MC anyway so it doesn't matter).

Recommended for those who like NTR? YES, as long as you don't specifically look for this, since the game is about revenge on the MC and not cuckolding him.

Reviewed Made for Version: 1.5.1

I was originally totally turned off by the start of the game and went into a "fuck it" mode, skipping everything to get to the sex scenes.

But somewhere along the way, I started to pick up on the story and comedy of the "real" game and began to really enjoy it. In retrospect, I understand that the "intro" serves as the villain creation story that motivates the MC, and my initial dislike for that part actually serves as a launchpad to understand the MC's actions later. Quick note: I later learned that you can skip some parts of the "intro" by going home early from the poker game.

The game part of this visual novel is irrelevant and easy, but it adds some substance to the story, making it not just a pure VN, and you get a slight feeling of choice. I haven't played around with the game to see if any of it matters, but I don't think it will.

In short, great visuals, good humor, but you have to endure the start of the game before you get to the good stuff.

Where shuld i start.
At first I was little sceptikal becos the MC (THE MIND) whasn't looking that good but after a whille it gru on me (I alo looked in the mirror).
The game story can be sammurise an Batman whit super ginies and whit out a money on a quest to take down the Justice legue.
The MC is in his own words a Villain but he also has a morality code so he isn't a cartoonich villan.
It's also one of the games where the villain (you) has a gole that make senc (he whats to make heros leave cos of the coroption and personal gein of the heroes).
I hope the dewelopers keep the good work so we can see the final product.

I was pleasantly surprised by this game. It's basically the cuck revenge story we all ask for with a hero twist. Scenes are interesting and fun. Only complaints are the writing is a bit wordy, and some of the word choices highlight that the author is not a native English speaker. For example, one character keeps calling her nemesis a bastard, but since the nemesis is female, it's an odd choice of insult (Bastard in English is usually used to insult men only). I'm nitpicking, though. This is definitely worth your time. Note: The opening has NTR, but its the primary motive for the entire story, and is optional.

v1.5.1 Review:

Pretty standard "visual novel masquerading as a sandbox". After a lengthy introduction scene you're just dropped in with no tutorial and a hidden ui. Fortunately the game is pretty intuitive. You click on things and stuff will happen or it will tell you what you need to make stuff happen.

There's no day or time system but the "make money" buttons disappear for a little bit after you use them. Money is grindy and it would be nice if your minions (as you obtain them) began passively generating income. You use money to buy three types of supplies and turn those into equipment which lets you progress the story: very basic stuff.

So that's the gameplay: craft everything you can (grinding money if needed), then click on missions, which will unlock new stuff to craft, etc. Occasionally you'll get stuck and that means you need to go to the third tab which lets you do internet research or talk to your minions.

The story is generic but fine, you're full of angst and hate superheroes and your wife leaves you for one, then you get superpowers in an accident and vow revenge. It's a little cringe but not nearly as bad as some of the edgelord manifestos on this site. Once you get past the intro it gets better. There are some confusing sequence breaks (I think you can recruit some of the minions before actually meeting them) that would have been solved if this were a VN.

Renders are decent, there are some brief animations that are nice.

Overall, it's an average game so 3 stars it gets.

The game remains fun to play, it's a sandbox that doesn't get annoying because the hints work well, and the grind amounts to skipping again and again through short scenes of MC committing crimes for many and fame.

Don't be misled by the reviews which are being so negative about the MC.
He actually improves a lot during the game and the only thing that really stands out is that he has a large nose, but it seems quite silly and ridiculous not to play a game just because of that.
The same goes for the start of the game and how the MC appears in it, the whole point of the game is that the MC builds himself up from that and becomes strong AND win all the women he wants.

Writing-wise it continues to be uneven, there's a lot of intented campiness here, but also some unintentional cringe.
I don't mind the Schmalz, but sometimes the writing seems to actually get worse for a moment and then improves again, that's not kitsch or camp, that seems just uneven.
Overall, it remains a good and interesting game, but I understand that for some there might be too little revenge so far, and I honestly don't know if that will ever come.
It should at least with the ex-wife, and the MC's "friends," but so far the route seems to be more like you learn that most of the superheroines aren't that bad or if they are that you can show them the error of their ways.
A big plus for the game is the humour, it's very self-aware and ironic, but also just plain silly a lot of the times, and I enjoy that a lot. Cindy fe. can both be irritating but also hilarious.
