Unity - World after War [v0.102] [Crazy Forge Studio]

The most offensive part of this game is that it/the dev does not value your time whatsoever.

An example of this is when you interact with NPCs and have to wait an entire day to speak to them again. But to pass a day you need to sleep and then for you to sleep, it needs to be 21:00.

It's actually hilarious that I need to speak to an NPC, get literally 1 sentence then wait for 1 min while time passes, interact with all of the menus(30 sec), go back to sleep, go through all of the menus (again), interact with the NPC to then get 2 sentences and repeat the whole process again to progress the story!

It feels like a big "fuck you" from the dev. Just let us interact with NPCs more than once outside the bedroom to fix this. It will eliminate a ton of grind.

To add to this, the resource grind is crazy. I cheated in game and I still saw my resources get to critical levels. I can't imagine how hard this is by normal means.

I really want to like this game, hope the dev sees this feedback and does something about the waste of time.

So far the game is pretty dry with content, the entire storyline is so dumb even someone with less than a braincell could enjoy it just like the MC because the MC lacks so much self awareness that it's just plain out horrible.

Also the fact you need to put a paywall for your public supporters is a huge L.

This.. i don't know what this is.

I don't have anything good to say about this game other then that its different. I can kind of see where the dev was going with it but he execution is not there.

Bad
The no hand holding nature of this game doesn't work very well when the ui and the overly complicated system are so badly designed. I honestly didn't think I'd ever have a complaint about a game not being hand holdy.. yet here we are. This coming from a Kenshi and CK3 vet.

I do not recommend this game.

Now I'm not someone who is versed in writing reviews, however I'm doing this right now cause I see a lot of potential in this game being wasted for reasons beyond understanding

1- the graphics of the game are not the best out there, but not the worst either, they're passable, but combine that with the rest of negativity that follows, and the game just goes down hill.

2- game mechanics are atrocious most of the time, specially the part when you need to speak to a girl to progress a quest and you can't cause you already talked to her once this day! you can't justify tying down/ blocking quest progression cause of a stupid mechanic like that, you need to find a work-around for it dev, cause it ruins the game, when the game is already riddled with downsides more than upsides.

3- the resources grind. holy molly on a trolly, now that's just tediousness incarnate! I know you posted a way for people to cheat and get tons of resources, but why make it like that in 1st place? and cheating for resources doesn't make it up for the long ass times needed for researching, crafting, or building. I would understand if you doing this to add a little bit of realism/ depth to the gameplay, but it's still stupidly long time.

4- I like a lot the self dialogues the MC has with himself, these actually makes the game worth a while, cause it's our nature as humans to doubt ourselves in situations of crisis like this, doubt our decisions and actions, I like it, however I hope as the MC keep facing hardships and prevailing, he starts to grow more confident and learn from his experience, cause that will add much more depth for the whole story and not just the MC.

Edit:

5- Sounds/ Voice: The gameplay would go a long way if you added few moans here and there, it doesn't have to be something top of the line, but some moans, some panting, and be careful not to make the moaning just 1 moan sound on repeat, that would be a major turn off I believe.

I was really craving for a game game and this tottaly hits the spot.

I wanted a break from VNs I really love, just something different once in a while and this was a shinning beacon.

It has a fairly long but decent intro, and it takes a bit of time to learn the mechanics of the game but once you get passed that, it's a fun advancement game. The games mechanics are a bit clunky but tottaly works just fine.

I would totally give this a perfect 5 star if everything was fleshed out and high quality. E.g. the renders are perfectly fine, perfect good, but i'd give it a higher rating if they were the high end renders we currently see. As well as the UI quality.

Overall good game.

I would've accepted this game's low-effort visual quality and pretty mild writing if only it wasn't so much of a goddamn chore to do anything. It's a moronic click-fest where you need to jump from one part of the map to the other with completely unintuitive puzzle-like steps for every single thing. If this were a Ren'Py VN it'd be okay, a basic 3/5, but it's so punishingly boring that I can only describe it as a slog for masochists.

Review from v0.88, although I've been playing for years.

TL;DR:
It pains me to give this 3 stars.
It's the only non-Renpy Novel worth playing.
The problem is the DEV is slow, and the quality of the renders is EXTREMELY outdated.

Characters: 4/5
Although I'd say Ai, Mary and a few others are vital to the game and I like them a lot, there are too many.
But I understand that he wanted to give us a base complete with all members needed, plus girls from other places, so I understand why there are too many.

I actually don't hate how he did it, but it takes ages for content to be released, as each month he releases a few small scenes depending on the Polls.

Render Quality: 1/5
This is where the game takes a big dip, and it's sad because this is one of the most important parts.

The quality of the renders are on the level of a 2010 Novel.
To the point that if some random Newbie with a 960 was given the 3D assets, he could probably remake all the renders in the game in half a year with a better quality than what we have now.

3D models are a bit rough, body parts are horrible when bent over (like arms and legs).
The characters aren't always looking at anything, they just make face expressions to nothing.

It's also a problem that the scenes don't have many renders, you'll either be looking to the same few renders that go back and forth between each other,
Or you'll be staring at random objects with NO ONE on the scene, while the characters speak in the background and you read the dialogue.

Liquids: (sub-topic) 2/5
Well, at least they exist on SOME scenes...
But damn, they're bad.
Cum is basically a pure white prop on the girl.

That is, if the angles even give us the creampie/cumshot to look at, it's quite rare.

Game & Engine: 2/5
It seems most of what the DEV do is work on this.
With the updates bringing SO LITTLE scenes and renders, I don't believe those are why the progress is THIS SLOW.
(This is the only excuse the DEV has to progress so slowly in this game, because the renders aren't worth a MONTH of rendering)

= = =

After playing this for so long and understanding it a lot, there's still a lot that I don't understand.

It's also a grinding-fest, and I've spent days working on and modifying Saves to get through the rest of the game without worrying.

The save system isn't good, all Saves are stored on the same page and you have to find which ones you want. It starts to glitch after too many saves.
I had to create a Backup folder, one for each version, where I throw most Saves to only keep the Saves made on the most recent version there.
This is a problem especially because there isn't a Gallery, and the only way to re-watch the scenes is to store a Save from the scenes you like.

Gameplay is extremely confusing and I 9/10 times I don't come to f95 to play a game requiring me to use my head, I come to get off. I was initially intrigued by the NTR as that's what I came for but being stuck in the early game with no idea what to do and no visibly easy way to bypass the resource management garbage I quickly became annoyed.

If this type of game is for you, no offense intended, I mean it. But honestly I had hoped this would just have been a simple ren'py decision making game, having to think when you just want a good NTR to get off to is just annoying.

First try I was Stuck in Chamber 04 within the first 10 mins of Gameplay.
Didn't make it through the first day without bugs stopping progress.

restarted from the beginning and got past that, only to discover why people are complaining about the interface, the gathering and building is almost painful, I just couldn't continue.

The content seemed OK, but the game didn't last long enough to really evaluate the content.

The game is fun to play. It has various drawbacks including a non-standard Ui, slow development pace (around 5 minutes of game play per month of development), and bad English. It is a base management game with some erotic content and some odd puzzles to solve here and there.

The game is good but it is broken everywhere, it points to a lot of content but I think it is too ambitious and they may end up abandoning it, since it is basically broken if they continue to add content without fixing it, it will break until it becomes unplayable. From my experience it bugged in several ways that prevented me from continuing with the missions, also the save files end up corrupting and I don't know the cause, if you only use one save file you run the risk of your game being lost. My advice is to reduce the amount of things that are irrelevant in the game, like the skill tree, that will only introduce more bugs. They should really focus on fixing it.

Good story, reasonable graphics, reasonable base-building gameplay, and nice music. The story is very well written but does have some typos and grammar issues, but this doesn't impact the story much at all, however, if improved it could at more flavor.

The idea of this game is very good and the writing isn't bad. The execution of this game is awful. The mechanics are broken. So many of the quests depend on you talking to Ai which you can only do once a day. The grind is real and overboard. This game is 5 years in the making and still a mess. Half-done quests. Crapy game mechanics and you can still only sleep with less than half the girls and there are still 2 ??? characters. That means the dev wants to introduce 2 more characters without finishing a single girls storyline. I think we may have met one of them. All and all a good idea went bad. This dev can have a good idea and write well enough, but can't do much else. This game is like a beautiful girl that has a giant smelly turd on her chest. I really want to have sex with her, but she's got to wash off first.

at first, I think this game is Suck and it was so very hard to begin there is no tutorial or clue unless you figure it out by yourself but until I understand the mechanics of this game, I can guarantee you, you may able to love it and its not that hard, the only thing i can advice to you when you are a beginner just understand the mechanics first and then grind the resources and upgrade what you need to upgrade before you take a quest or Increase your relationship with them...

as long as you have enough resources , you are undying in this game.


Now I am in progress where i need to develop a relationship to them and unlock all available scene.. this game is really good and it increase your intelligence,. One of my favourite game besides of treasure of nadia

i am really regretting passing on this game so many times now that i know how to play it its quickly becoming one of my favorites the story is great and i love all the freedom of choosing what to do during the day with that said the ui i think needs an overhaul it took me forever to figure out how to travel to the point of almost quitting but i stuck it out and now that i know what to do its a pleasant surprise

Loved the story, the writing, scenes and general management system. The murrica map is a great use. Just a little grindy and no really battles/battle fail outcomes (else than game over.)

But in general loved it!

The WORST game I played on this site no cap. I suggest rethinking even downloading it if you are not a masochist.

Attracted by apocalypse, Sandbox with Harem tag I thought I would at least see these three ingame even if its not well done. Got put off how the GUI is, how the story didnt made sense even from a porn perspective and the harem does not exist here. Why is it even in the tags ?? You only fuck the girls from 0 to 100 in a hearthbeat while some got fucked by other males because plot lol. Yeah its that awful of plot...in a Harem game...

Its a hard to move in this game even with the help provided with hints. Either its not clear where to move or what to do, or it gets completely get bugged out and you have to start a new save.

Quest are pretty basic and I would even say like these you see on Moba Games. Collect 10 Water, Get 10 Food etc. These are only time consuming quest which dont do much here. Only to prolong the game. They dont add any atmosphere or character build up for the MC or the LI.

Ah yeah, since I mentioned LI.
The game has NTR. Which you cant avoid. You can only refusing watching them but they happen offscreen anyway.
With that I lost my desire to continuing.

I can tolorate some grind or plot holes in such stories. Even if the Harem is mostly a empty vessel which exist only as sex without emotions like love.
But when I see people talking that the creator added cuck content only because patreons want it, I take my leave.
Now that I think about it, perhaps it was this reason why it feels so choked in.

Though sandbox and management games in a dystopian setting are my cup of tea, I just can't bring myself to enjoy this one. Complex and downright buggy interface and game mechanics are a major deal breaker when it comes to this genre and unfortunately, this game seems to be the epitome of it. This game has been around for the longest time, yet there have been no improvements whatsoever on this front. Secondly, I actually don't mind NTR in a dystopian setting ala Mad Max (I play a few other games in this genre with NTR), as long as it's not the focal point of the game but it seems that is the direction in which the dev is taking this game judging by the previous several updates. Another major dealbreaker, for me at least.

TLDR; dev absolutely dropped the ball with this one. But then again, this is what happens when you let your patrons dictate the content you put out, so I guess he didn't actually have the ball in his hands to begin with.

I love some ressource management in my games and it's done extremely well in this one. Add to that a story with multiple arcs and a lot of beautiful women and you have a fan in me. A unique experience with the story and content to pay off the grind.

More than 2 years after publication and it's still an unplayable mess because of the large amount of bugs and awful interface. And dev doesn't seem to want to fix that. On top of that, he started to add NTR content. Avoid this crap.
