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

it's very good. They even swap the models depending on which way they're facing. That is to say, if a character has an eye patch on her left eye, it will still be on her left on when she turns to face the other way. It's a small detail, and most people would ignore and just mirror the art rather than creating an entire new character model. Very small team, but very dedicated to making the best product they can

The highest-quality 2D VN on this site, bar none. Fantastic art, fantastic characters, fantastic writing.

- Some small grammatical issues, especially in the earlier content. Nothing unreadable but it's noticeable that the writer is an ESL speaker.

- The sound design is... bad. Very inconsistent about which screens have music and which do not. Odd, unfitting sound effects. Bad volume balancing. Best played muted. I don't think this is a big deal as I play these games muted by default anyway, but if you don't, it might be a problem.

- It's a very vanilla harem game about a protagonist with a giant penis who gets to fuck every girl he meets. Medieval Fantasy Summertime Saga, basically. If that's exactly what you want, then, great! But it's what stops this from being my favorite WEG, simply because I'm going to prefer something with overall lower quality but has content that matches my kinks better.

- Updates are very slow, expect to only get 2-3 of them a year. But the developers are extremely transparent, which helps make the wait less frustrating.

Excellent art and a fun story. The dialogs are witty and smart, and the girls are all super sexy, and different to boot.

The only drawback is that there's very little sex. There's some, but no more than 1% of the total content (not a scientific estimate). Lots of cleavages though...

Still, five stars.

Amazing game, great character building, nice light tone to the story with lots of humour and lewdness. Doesn't get better than this imo. Also eventually pregnancy planned, woopwoop! Big heart out to Chestnut and Pistachio for putting in great effort to create this gem and lighten up our day <3.

Just, can't wait to be complete. So far, masterpiece! The story is actualy cool, great characters, amazing art, quest are fun and makes sense. Absolutely loved playing it so far! I'll do my best to support the developer, and will be cheking other games, if there are any!

Excellent game. The best thing about it would definitely be the artstyle and character designs, which are all of a very high quality. The story is also interesting and the comedy on point. That being said, the game is still very early in development with many characters not having much content yet.

I dont really have any faults with this game except with the lack of content to be honest. If the game developer continues giving us updates of this quality, we might really have something special here.

The game has much potential and i am looking forward to future updates.

Really nice game with a well-created world and characters. I trully enjoy playing it the only recomendation would probably be adding some more dynamic to the plot, the rest is wonderfull keep on going

Honestly the Art in this game is incredible and the quality adds a ton to the game. The writing is great. It's self-aware and has managed to create an interesting plot which is rare for these type of games which usually devolve from their initial premise. Based on this I can't give it anything less than 5 stars.

The outlined world looks incredible but the game still feels early in development with few side characters/locations/scenes. Most characters are limited to a couple scenes and there's little exploration so far.

Looking forward to seeing the sandboxing fleshed out and I'll be revisiting the game frequently and supporting their Patreon.

This is my new favorite game on here. Nothing comes close. The story gives me the feeling of reading one of those fantasy novels. The pacing is just perfect, especially in this latest episode. And judging by the size of the map and the lore, this will be a master piece the day it is done.

Review of v.0.5.01 from a non-native english speaker.

Art: Stylish and beautifully done, the best out there in this style (in my opinion.) Sex scenes are HOT. Can't wait to see more kinks (atm vaginal, bj, deepthroat focused only). It's not a problem, really. You will definetely enjoy the scenes.

Writing: I can't tell much about grammar, even tho I have a B1 in English. I just don't feel like I should judge it too much; however, I didn't find mistakes. Main story, secondary and character interactions are both interesting and fun lol you just can't hate the MC and other characters, i'm sorry.

Great combination of porn game, fairy tale and comedy, with gorgeous drawings. The hero is a loveable loser (sometimes a bit too much emphasis on the "loser" part) who always ends up having sex anyways, and the girls are for the most part absolutely beautiful and full of personality.

There's a unique, self-aware sense of humor pervading the story, dialogues and characters that's really charming.

I'm not sure what the gameplay will end up being like. The original release and up to 0.3 had quite a few point&click adventure aspects and let you explore somewhat freely, but 0.4 and especially 0.5 were so linear that they might as well have been kinetic novels. Your dialogue choices are not significant to the story, either - which I'm personally ok with, I don't like to replay visual novels at high speed unless the branching paths are huge.

Linear or not, the content is top quality with a story just serious enough to make you care; hilarious city guards which are both friendly and really dumb; cute girls (although they pretty much all have a strong personality, no shy/submissive types in sight which is a pity since variety is the spice of life); and rather hot sex scenes. The latter are pretty much one animated position with a few facial expressions then the same repeated faster with different expressions, and a final cum animation. I wouldn't mind more positions, because not all of them worked for me from the fapping point of view. However, since the game takes time to build up the relationship with each girl, gradually increasing the sexual tension, fucking them feels really special. It's not one of those game where girls just jump on you after two lines of dialogue.

Honestly there's nothing to strongly dislike. I wasn't enamored with at some point of the story, although they've used a humorous visual trick that makes it less likely to cause offense. It still was unpleasant imagination-wise. I also thought that it would be nice for the hero to take charge sometimes, for instance by moving in for a kiss or taking the initiative to touch the girl. I would make the relationship seem more real by matching a bit closer most guys' successful dating experiences. As it is the hero pretty much gets sex by being helpful... usually a good ticket to the friendzone if that's all you do.

Overall though, very unique and highly recommended.

Just an awesome game, very much worth supporting on patreon. Feel somewhat like an old quest for glory graphics mixed with porn. Two thumbs up, the only negative being it takes a while in between releases. Will be an absolute topshelf game on completion.

As one of the best rated games on the site, I have to say I expected amazing things going into What a Legend, and I think that may have been where the issues started for me.

Before I go into why it lost a star, let me preface by saying that there is a lot of good here. The 2D animation is top quality, the ui and design is well thought out, and though the story tends to generic fantasy tropes, it is competently written, and doesn't have grammatical errors that are going to break your immersion. So a lot of good things are happening here, that automatically are going to push this into the top 25% of VNs.

The problem for me was that there was no hook. I won't mention other VNs in my review, but pretty much everything else at this lofty of a tier is doing a lot more narrative heavy lifting.

If you are a fan of generic fantasy vanilla, then refer to all the 5* reviews and my own positive comments above, you'll have a good time here.

I don't think narratively there is an easy solve (and perhaps it's a problem for so few people that there is no point to trying to solve) but adding some additional and slightly less vanilla tags might help out a bit. At least then if you aren't engaged by the story, the really superb art and animation can pull you through with your chosen kink.

I'm clearly in a minority here, but I thought that while very good...this one is slightly overrated.

Very good game with amazing art style, characters and good story and animations. I'll for sure bookmark thread about it and wait for new updates.

Art - 10/10
Characters - 10/10
Animation - 9/10
Story - 9/10

To start off with what drew me to the game - the art. This is one of the highlights for me personally. Throughout the entire game the art is done at such a high level. The setting, the characters, the map, the UI, everything. Every little detail has been added, absolutely no corners cut. Really great attention to detail, even down to little things in the UI such as achievement popups and so on, this sort of stuff really makes the game feel complete and polished.

Similar to what many others have said, the art brought me in but the story kept me coming back! This was some really great writing. There's evidently a lot of thought gone into the story, and it has a decent bit of humour sprinkled in, very engaging. I'm looking forward to the rest of the story you guys have to tell, and based on the numerous locations around the old capital which haven't been explored yet, as well as the new capital and a number of other larger locations I saw on the world map, I think we're in for quite the ride! The medieval setting is really well done, and the magical elements I think are quite fitting and not over the top. Realistic is not the right word, but perhaps given the setting believable would be the right one? Nevertheless, very well done!

The H-scenes were very good overall and I thought the animations were done very well. I read some comments saying the older content was of a lesser quality compared to the newer content, and coming from someone who never played the game previously, I couldn't tell one bit. It all seemed really high quality to me. My only critiques would be I personally would've preferred more anal content, and a character or two with a larger ass, maybe even a BBW? Also as some others shared, during the chastity belt reveal I did think there was a chance Simmone was going to turn out trans, which would've been welcomed from myself, but understand it's not for everyone. Perhaps this could be added as part of another character but remain as completely optional content, similar to how the Matchmaker's content remains optional after a certain point. I also noticed there's domination content planned, while I'm guessing that would be with the MC being the dom, I also wouldn't mind seeing domination content where he is the sub. In terms of specific kinks for the sub content, I'd say facesitting, worship and general obedience would be 'safe' ones to go with, with other kinks such as pegging, feet or other stuff being optional. Again, all personal preferences and completely understandable if some of these things are overlooked. It seems like you guys only plan on implementing stuff you personally like and I 100% support that!

Some little things I noticed/appreciated throughout:
- Achievements, while functionally irrelevant were fun and entertaining.
- Sheep easter egg photos were another fun addition.
- UI / UX, inventory, time cycling features were all really well implemented.
- The explorable area felt a lot larger than it was, I attribute this to the engaging storyline!
- Spelling and grammar was flawless throughout.
- The only bug I noticed were some dialogue animations would glitch at times (cycling too quickly or jumpy). Pretty impressive if you ask me!
- The 'think' feature was a good way off getting the MC to come up with solutions, and even when the first one or two attempts weren't the right thing to do, it never felt like filler content or rushed - it added to the story in some way.

V0.5.01

This game is a gem of a 2d game, everything is done beautifully, the animations are smooth, the girls are all unique in their own way, the story is really interesting and knows it has to be funny and comical for it to be of a hero with a dick of gold.

It's still not completed and while there are some people that are mad with the update times it shows that there is a lot of work behind (and that is a lot knowing it's a 2d game), not like other games that the updates are 10 or 20 minute long and just 3 background scenes.

Adult adventure game with incredible 2d art and animations.

It's fun and weirdly wholesome. It's a fairy tale setting with a magical kingdom, princesses, elves, mysterious forests, and medieval villages. There's a good variety of NPC personalities, like the named guards who are pretty good guys.

Most of the women connect at least a little to the overall story. Players can somewhat choose which order to pursue stories. There are no meaningful choices, which usually is fine but sometimes it would be nice to have alternate solutions, such as not having to steal when it's obvious the MC could have simply asked for help.

Even though the game has a sandbox structure, it's fairly easy to find content. There's even a hint system in case the player gets stuck.

The erotic scenes are frequent enough that they keep things interesting.

this game is beautifully made in almost every aspect, its not finished but its still a great game that deserves 5 stars. not gonna ramble too much as theres already tons of 5 star reviews but keep up the good work!

I went into this game like any other porn media (to fap) but the story and the humor just keep me hooked for more, wishing it never ends, but, like all good things, they'll eventually come to an end which is sad but expected.

Anyways, as of v0.5.01 the game is amazing and it just keeps me hyped to see what will come in the next update, who will we meet and have sex with, who will help us in our journey and who will try to stop us (besides the ones already known).

All in all, the music, comedy, art style and characters are all amazing (more are still to come)!


I wish all the best to the devs and anyone involved so they can finish this gem of a game and maybe make more stuff after this one is over.

Cheers!

Fantastic Artwork! The story is easy to digest, fun, not boring. Looking forward for the expansion of story though cities. It'd be a plus to have more game mechanic or customization system. Keep it going buddy! and please don't stop! I have a feeling this will be one of my TOP3 favorite game EVER!!
