Ren'Py - What a Legend! [v0.7.05] [MagicNuts]

On the surface the game looks like yet another copycat in the genre - the player takes control of a protagonist with a big dick who does fetch quests to unlock sex scenes. Fortunately, WaL is a lot more than that. It has fantastic art, colorful characters, witty writing, great music and above average sex scenes.

PROS:

- Top tier art and design decisions
- Funny and well-written characters
- Good music choices with some fantastic ambient music
- Very detailed map, objectives and hint system
- Animations and animated sex scenes
- No useless grinding or unnecessary half-assed gameplay mechanics

CONS:

- Story-wise it feels too slow at times.
- It follows the old boring unlocking formula with some of the main characters: 1st scene - > groping; 2nd scene: handjob; 3rd scene: blowjob; etc.
- Not really a fan of voiceovers in adult games, but it seems like this title is one of the few that will benefit from optional high-quality voice acting, if done properly.

Highly recommended and deservingly the highest rated title on f95. 5/5

EDIT: This game seems to follow the fate of so many others. Great start and then no updates for ages. PLEASE DO NOT SPONSOR THIS BEHAVIOUR BY SUBSCRIBING ON PATREON!

Unique in both story and artwork - great work, if there were updates. Many other games follow the same routine over and over, this one is different and still immensely entertaining. If only there were updates...

Still waiting for updates. I became a Patron to support the devs.

[v0.4.01] review

What it is:
A click-adventure game with amazing 2dcg art and plenty of humor and polish. It's by far the best lewd game in its genre.

Positives:
+ Excellent visual storytelling with a lot of attention to detail. The Dev really plays around with expectations. There's a decent amount of foreshadowing - a detail that isn't used enough in the lewd game world.
+ The polish on this game is completely insane. It's really a professional-looking production.
+ Very high-grade art throughout. Environments are gorgeous.
+ Extremely hot girls you can sexxx. My god. Maple is the cutest character I've ever seen in a lewd game.
+ Very feel-goody. There's some really cute scenes and side characters.
+ Excellent sense of humor. This game makes me smile and laugh constantly.

Negatives
- BRIBE THE FUCKING GUARD! I was almost yelling this at the screen. This is a huge story inconsitency! The guard hates his boss and his job. He'd probably do anything for money and MC has an unlimited bag of it! Why can't MC just bribe the guard to get in!? Everything else in the story is so believable and consitent! I can't let this one go.
- There are a number of places where you can't press the tent icon to go back to your tent. It doesn't make sense that it's unaccessable in like half of the locations.
- The achievements had names in the beginning, but later the names of the achievements disappear.

Verdict: super recommended. This is probably my favorite lewd title of all time.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about the game since the time I found it. The reviews said they were great but for some reason I didn't download this.
But I finally decided to just do it and boy oh boy.
That must have been one of the best decisions I made.

The game is absolutely brilliant by all means,
I'll start from the top,
The script is amazing. I was hooked from the moment I started the game. It was simply hilarious to see how one thing lead to the other, wasn't the typical story I had come across so far.
The MC? I can relate to him so much xD
He shows a lot of color and life. He isn't a chad, or some annoying wimp, but a genuinely funny guy.
The characters are all unique and I love the interactions with each one of them, can't wait to see what's in store for us with them.
And finally the art, it's simply amazing. It's very clear that the creators put a lot of heart into this. Everything from how they portray the scenes to the animations is a solid 10/10... especially the very amusing talking animation (I just low the way the princess just goes ewww, I have an odd sense of humor, pardon me xD)
Overall, it's a fun ride that I am so glad to be a part of.
I am really excited for what's to come!!!

One of the best games I have played on this site. I have not even finished the current update yet and I'm already over the moon.

The UI is outstanding, the story is fun, the characters are great!
The first love story between the MC and the woodcutter's wife is so good, I almost don't need any other girls or romance. Her personality was original and awesome and endearing. That story alone, for me would have been good enough! If the rest of the game was just those two I would have been happy.

So the girs were different and charming, the side characters were fun. The bad guys were proper villains.

So
UI 10/10
Story 9/10
Characters 9/10
Sex scenes 9/10
Graphics 10/10

No negatives from my side (Except very little pubic hair )

Even though it's a open world game, I never needed to use hint's once. The flow of the stories are seamless, the quests are fun.

Definitely recommended

Es solo una beta y solo tiene 1 capitulo por ahora, pero por ahora me ha parecido muy entretenido y además de bastante cómico, aunque lo he jugado en la versión traducida al español, aun así apunta a maneras y puede ser muy bueno, aunque me parece un poco flipada el que haya 5 zonas con sus subzonas, aun así esto es una versión muy preliminar, por ahora, de puta madre.

This is... one of those games. A game where you can see passion and love in its craft in every fiber of its being, but the cost is that each update takes roughly 264.78 years to produce. But I can't fault the creators, considering it is a two-person husband and wife team working on this, and the quality if far too fantastic for me to find fault anywhere else either. The art is great, the story is amusing and interesting, the characters are fun, and the pacing is decent.

I have no real complaints, so I have to give my 5 stars. Caution though, you might die of old age before you see this game completed. So if you're a patron, do keep that in mind unless you have a steady income and 10 bucks a month for the rest of your life is fine by you.

This game is currently number 1 on the weighted rating rank and it is for very good reason. The story is great, the gameplay is quite nice and does not feel grindy at all and the art is certainly one of the best among 2D games around. Girls are hot and sex scenes have good animations. It is, unfortunately, still a somewhat short, but it shows a ton of promise for further releases. Just hope that the devs add more kinks to this one.

One of the best games of the genre you will find out there.

All the stories and characters are engaging and well written – It never gets awkward like in other lewd games –, and it is really worth reading through all the text.

Art style is amazing and pretty consistent through the game. The characters even have talking animation, giving that extra immersion. And, of course, the animations are well made.

Gameplay is simple and intuitive. Very chill to play.

I can't wait for more updates!

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.
