Ren'Py - What a Legend! [v0.7.03] [MagicNuts]

Absolutely gorgeous game, the drawing style is my favorite. The game has a feeling like you're playing some good old fantasy RTS back in the day. The setting is perfect, the music is calming, the women are 11/10. It has multiple storylines that expand every few months, with very unique and witty gameplay elements. Definitely in the top 10 games on this site.

Indeed, What A Legend!
I started to play the day before yesterday and I couldn't stop playing!
Even tho' I'm now done with the current content I could always come back to look at the amazing drawings(art) and the animations!

This game doesn't contain any unnecessary grind for stats or other BS to be able to continue the story.
It's entirely up to you if you wish to do the story of one of the women or continue with the main story. The main story and side stories requires some stuff to be done before you continue but it all make sense!

There's no time limit either where, for example at day 14 you have to do a certain thing and if you happen to forget or otherwise miss this, you will not see a certain scene.

I usually don't care much about the story, usually because there's none. But in this game you were drawn in by the humour and character building and... sex

I lift my cap and bow down to your excellency!

Rated: 5/5
Based on: v.0.4.01

I don' t play a lot a VNs anymore, I played most of the popular ones when I first got introduced to this site, What a Legend! is such a nice breath of fresh air concerning visual novels. It has a good harem route and great heroines with decent story, It has a very easy to follow story and simple gameplay, not to mention it has great animations and absolutely BOMB! art.

Will keep this on my watchlist for a looong time!

This is one of the better Visual Novels I've ever played and I am excited for new content!

Art is so good, only thing that could be improved is by adding animations, but that's asking for a lot

Story is alright, honestly not what I play NSFW games for, but it's there and it's not game ruining, so works for me.

Gameplay is story driven, not very grindy, mostly just clicking through the story or otherwise clickin around the map, plus in my book.

UPDATE as ofpatch 0.5
Animations were added.. wow... still a 5* game but now somehow better.

Been seeing this on the front page of the site for a long while and I finally tried it out.

Reviewing v.0.4.01 as of writing.

Judging from the preview screenshots I had good expectations going into this but once I actually put some time in, the game easily exceeded those expectations. The game is so polished and it really feels like so much care and attention was put into making it. The art, the UI, the sound, and the rest of the production quality is so good. The 2d art and the animations are well made and looks very consistent for each scene so far.

The story doesn't take itself too seriously and the humor and lightheartedness is just right. The characters are all likable, even those intentionally written to be assholes. My favorite characters so far are the MC and Holly. MC is a bit dumb at times but like the story it's at the level of being amusingly dumb and not annoyingly dumb. Holly is a tsundere and I'm a sucker for those characters when they're done right. She's tough but she's not unreasonable. Looking forward to more of her content in the future. I could also put in Myrtle as a favorite but that would be an easy one since she has the most content out right now. My only gripe about the current cast of girls is that there isn't much diversity to their body types. Sure curvy women with big boobs are nice but a humble chest is also sweet.

This isn't about the game itself but I also like how the devs seem to handle their production cycle. We have a progress tracker to the next update and I like how there seems to be a roadmap for future content (I'm personally looking forward to the harem and pregnancy routes). Good job devs! I sincerely hope you can stick to your planned schedules and not burnout midway through.

Overall this is a good looking game with great production quality and I'm excited to see more of it in the future.

game takes 2 year per update which is one girl, dev takes money even at vacation or hospitalized time, and for criticizing dev or his patrons for giving money you will get banned from their discord, now i read from people playing latest update contains NTR which is not my type of game so im not even gonna try playing it
i give 1 star for art and say goodbye to this project, gladly i didnt support them on patreon and i take pity for those who want to wait YEARS for update cus this look like other scam games when you wait and wait and update rarely ever comes, i do believe the game will now be rushed to its end like similar projects that would slowly loose its patrons but who knows, people might be dumb as children with rich parents with too much money to learn to do math

This will be one of my shorter reviews, because almost everything has already been posted in other reviews.

I'm a sucker for good 2D games. This one is no exception. It is rather light-hearted fun.
Good graphics and humor, doesn't take itself too seriously.

As someone who played a lot of 2D adventures in the 80s and 90s my only complaint is that the hints in the text about WHAT TO DO NEXT are a bit too much on the NOSE. But that's nitpicking, really.

I will re-visit this in 1-year intervals, because 2D animations take time. Good luck to the devs and thank you for the game.

[review for 0.4.01]

v0.4.01
So much better than Call of Duty. Surprising fappability.

I read a lot of reviews but no one pointed out how the random books you find in the game have funny pictures and pretty calligraphy. The meticulous details prove that the artists like art for its own sake.

In these games, it's all about the characters. Fun and memorable. The characters feel different. Each woman has her own mind and personality. Isn't it funny how games are sexier when character and story takes precedence over sex itself?
There's actually character development. Not just relationship-wise, but both the MC and the ladies grow as people.
It's not every day that female characters in a sex game sound like women.

Another reviewer said you could play it even if there was no sex. They're right.

Possible improvements:

• What if there were more player characters, and they each got with one woman? Harem stories are self-limiting.

Good:

• Many hours of free fun. Best game I've played so far on f95zone.
• Funniest sex game I've ever played. Not weird/gross humor either. Situational comedy requires good writing, and it's got
• Good, smooth writing
• Immersive
• Characters
• Player freedom
• Kevin

Bad:

• You if you don't support on Patreon if you can afford it.

In both story and art style this game is superior to most 2D games. I found the humor hilarious and the references to popular geek culture pretty fun as well. I enjoyed this game immensely and found it bug free and gorgeous overall. Thumbs up to the developers, keep up the good work!!!

I love the art style. Characters body types are mostly same but
I am not complaining. I love the body style. You perfected
the universal beuty standards. Animations smooth enough. I am not native english speaker. Sorry for my writing mistakes. Good Work

PROS
+ Story had pretty good potential, especially the prologue and old king parts, which were well-written, but most other parts are poorly written.
+ Some characters like Lana have interesting and lovely stories.
+ Art style looks good, or used to look good at least.
+ Sex scenes have animations, and they used to look good as well.
+ You can pet baby and mama fox.


CONS
- The story might have had potential, but it's ruined by dumb writing of the general story and bad writing of the MC.
- MC was interesting at first, but since he never get character development, and keep doing same dumb things over and over again, he become unlikeable. First of all, our MC has literally no power over things happening and is always forced to do things according to other people's choices, he is like a walking camera at best. Secondly, other characters always treat MC like a sh*t, slap him, mock him, give him commands, control him, etc. The whole story nearly feels like MC getting commanded to do things by other people, and he doesn't feel like MC at all, he is like a walking camera or errand boy at best.
- This game story is the opposite of ''logic'' in nearly every part, like the ''Unlimited Gold'' joke the series has. We have unlimited gold and... Nobody accepts gold... I want milk and a person who has milk says she doesn't sell milk for gold, MC starts saying please and starts begging her... We need to bribe some dirty gatekeeper we offer him gold and he says no... We need to pay taxes for a girl who desperately needs gold, we offer gold several times and every time she says no... Matchmaker accepts gold from an old guy for matching him with a young girl but when we want to give her gold she says she doesn't accept gold... Yeah makes sense... Basically, no one in this game accepts gold, and for all these things you need to make nonsense lots of quests. MC has unlimited gold and everyone in this game says no to that gold and gives MC nonsense and long quests... That's the most nonsense and most annoying thing I have seen in any game... Having unlimited gold and can't use for anything at all... Amazing sense of humor -_-
- Nearly all characters are too arrogant and angry and it's ruining their stories/quests by making them annoying as hell! It's pretty much the same with a gold thing. Their quest/story feels nonsense and not enjoyable at all. They don't listen to MC, don't listen to any logical arguments, and the game doesn't give us any choice. We are forced to do with their way or they can slap our ass around like nothing, like we are not damn Pratoganist of this game and it's big nonsense as well...
- The game is quite grindy, getting sex scenes takes too much effort, makes things tedious, and feels like not worth it at all.
- Choices don't matter at all. Doesnt matter if you choose another thing it's still going to lead to the same thing. For example, when the game asks you to ''leave'' or ''go with her'' the question, if you press leave MC going to think it's too dangerous etc, and tell himself I should go with her, or the same going to happen when you choice ''go with her'' as well.
- Sex scenes were decent back in the day, but this game is 5 years old, and animations in sex scenes look bad, they are not good anymore, and the game needs some serious improvements on render details, animation quality, and physics.
- Updates take way too much time, like seriously between v0.6 and 0.7 nearly 2 years passed... Not to forget this game is 5 years old at this point, and probably never will be finished or it will take 10+ years to happen.


VERDICT
Long story short, this game had pretty good potential back in the day, 5 stars rate potential I would say, but it's ruined by poor writing, update management, and not improving the game enough along the way, currently it's just long, and annoying experience with full of text and outdated animations, etc, and not worth playing.

What can I say about this game that hasn't been said already.

Art is gorgeous . Story is incredibly well written, humorous, and even touching. Character development is well thought out and goes deeper then the surface level most erotic games go. There isn't a female interest character that I haven't liked yet and am eagerly waiting to see how they develop their storylines.

My only complaint: I don't have a time machine to go to the future and return with a completed version. It's that good that I want more of it and the anticipation is unbearable.

Its not just a porn game, but a wonderful adventure.
In your adventure, you'll meet indredible persons, you'll make good and kind friends, you'll break prejudices, will laught sometimes with some situations and of course, will enjoy great sex scenes in a wonderful art, with incredible beautiful characters.

Its a must play and deserve your try for sure!

What i have to say will not be very original... as you can read the same in most of the other review below : It's the best 2D game i ever played here.
Honestly... 2D porn games visual style always reppeled me until now. Poor drawings (or not very good at best), poor animation make them -for me- much less immersive and arousing than what i see in 3D ones.
("Sylvia" is one of the very few in which i liked the drawings but with an awfully slow development)
So... "What a legend!" is such a great surprise for me !
The drawings are really good. Girls all hot. The story is perfect and with a lot of humor too. I could hardly stop playing it.

I have few critics still... but really it's an "all good" game :

- There was a part of my play (around the actual end of Myrtle path and middle of Holly's one)... where all i had to do for Myrtle/Holly/Rose and Maple was during night. So i spent few days skipping the whole day to only do something at night.
It's a very small "problem" (not really even one)... but it's always better when you advance 2 paths (or more) at once each day (the classic "meanwhile... back at the ranch").

- The sex scenes could be better with 2 things :
They are all (or nearly all ?) with only 1 pose (drawing, camera angle...ect..)... They could be even better with a bit more diversity.
You can tell a story even in a sex scene
The other point is i found the girls faces often lack of expression during the sex act. It's always an important point to make a sex scene arousing to read on girls faces how much pleasure they got.

One last point : Gretta don't appear in the "Help" menu unlike the other girls. I hope we'll still have sex with her... she's very hot too !

Anyway... Your game is really great ! Very nice work.
It's rare to see porn games around with that lvl of work and finish as much for the visuals as for the story.
i hope the story will still be long and as good as it is now.

PS : I agree what said Staan Ferne below : " More sounds would be the top ;-) "

This game is by far the best I have played on this site in a very long time. The renders are fantastic, the story (for an adult game) is there enough to make sense why certain characters are not sleeping with you instantly. The tasks that they make you do in order to progress the story make sense and are NOT grindy (thank god).

Overall I cannot recommend this game enough. I really hope the devs do not go overboard and screw this game up like many other promising games on here. I also hope they do not pull what other games do, and take half a year for a update with 5 minutes of gameplay. This game truly does have the promise to be one of the top on this site. I cannot wait for the next update!

Keep up the good work!

The best 2D game on the site...with a few more updates

Fantastic fantasy lewd game that nails both art and pacing. The point and click adventuring is not overdone like in other games. The fantasy is light-hearted and has a lot of humor, which is done well. There's a wide variety of characters - I'm most looking forward to the future update with the gatekeeper's wife.

That being said though, I wouldn't completely recommend playing this right away. The latest update added a significant amount of content, but I still remember how I felt before with v0.3, which was that there wasn't enough. If you can wait a couple updates so you can actually invest a decent chunk of time into the game, the experience will be a lot better.

Excellent game and story. Graphs are beautiful and animations are great!
Keep going, wonderful work.
I really like the story, the puzzles are great, not too hard, not too easy.
More sounds would be the top ;-)

WHAT A LEGEND! INDEED!! if you want to play 2dcg game this is for you!
beautiful arts, good houmor and story, hot babes (of course), animated
not worry for skipped scene/ side quest, UI pleasing on my eyes, the crystal really helpfull to forward the story
10/10
Always anticipating the updates!!

This is my first review, and english isn´t my native lenguage apologies by the bad grammar:

- The Art has a amazing quality
- The Designs of the character is top tier
- The gameplay is fluid and dont feel grindier or tedious.

This game is one of the best I have played. The graphic is amazing well done, the story is well written and the girls are beautiful. I really enjoyed every release and I'm waiting to see what is next in the storyline.
I simply LOVE IT!!!
