Number 5 is taken by Corrupted Kingdoms

Corrupted Kingdoms – Game Review

I cop to the fact I might have mentioned this one before. However it’s updated fairly consistently. It’s not a bad game, if it would make the story’s end game a bit more clear. Yes, it’s technically a harem game; but one of the creatures that has you under the thumb is a powerful fey. Who frankly is way too much femdom. Can we get to the point we take her down already??? Come on. There are also a few in the roster you guys aren’t real focused on. Too many cooks in the kitchen maybe. It’s a problem for a lot of harems. Speaking of, if this style in anime isn’t your thing there’s always…

Number 4 My New Family

My New Family

Still kind of miffed about the granny issue… but always a solid choice for endearing characters. Sometimes a few too many pancake jokes, and it would be nice to state that if one of the girls can be a cat; the MC can just be effectively immortal. Which would explain why he’s so bloody accepting. It’s called Changeling. Ever heard of them, they’re not that hard to look up. It would also explain the different view point, and the deeper bond between Lucy and MC. If you can have a nun, and nerdy neko lovers, Fairies aren’t that far off a mark. Just saying.

Number 3 on this top is Love & Sex: Second Base

Love & Sex Second Base – Blog

Now… hear me out, I know I already wrote a rather less than flattering review about this game. I still haven’t played it since aside from once. They haven’t changed the energy mechanics as far as I know, so to my mind the management system either needs a LOT of tweaks, or it just plain needs to go. However, I know there are plenty of people who like challenge; even if it is a four letter word to me. So if you’re one of those, the animations are attractive. They have done consistent work on the title.

Love & Sex Second Base

It comes out fairly regularly, so it’s dependable to a certain degree. I’ll have to let you know whether this new update is any good. I could probably post a review of that review. Maybe in a few more posted versions. To me, it’s a wait and see, but for the work that’s been done and the content that some might enjoy regardless, I feel it can be recommended. Just, less so by me. Caveat Emptor, but have at it; if hard work to get the girl and I do mean HARD btw, is your deal. More power to you people.

Number 2 is The Guy In Charge

For starters, this game does need a clear path to the Harem end. I get that there’s supposed to be an NTR tag, and fair enough… but if you want to make it a dating sim DO NOT let people pursue both females. It SHOULD be just a harem game. There doesn’t need to be a way to “fuck up.” Leave that to Devon. Now that said, once you get the hang of where the girls are in their daily schedules it’s not too hard to do what’s needed.

The Guy in Charge

There are a few break points to pass to see the sexual events that I think should be a lot more clear on the “how in the hell do I do this exactly?” I did have to use the cheats, and that might have borked things more than I like.

Here’s the thing, your game has been out long enough that in raw rebalancing (which should be done before trying to add too much new content) you should have had better options to gain money, and higher events for raising the girls stats. What can be done in a day is not bad, to start with but it takes about a month to get either girl up to the part where they might want to date you.

Realistic, not really. Painful regardless, uhm, yes. That out of the way the animations are attractive. The little sister could be less of a ball buster, and I’d really rather not be porking my own Mom. I get that it’s the draw for some people. However that is also the reason she’s as hesitant about sex, and moreso about getting pregnant.

So really, add in a question about what relation they are to you, and you’d cover all bases. That way you could rework the stats needed, or clear up whatever event is blockading the path a lot easier. Which might just be my opinion. I’d recommend at least one playthrough per the alpha path (or NTR path if that’s your bag, it’ll just be someone else’s baby) It’s a solid game with decent potential. I’ve kept watch to see how it’ll grow, and not just for nine months to count.

Number 1 in our top is occupied WVM (I did warn you guys)

Interestingly this one lost a few points with me, technically, on the last “update.” The dev explained a big life situation so it could be anything but it’s moving to more beta testing in updates because of it. This is more me warning you as much as it’s already bald in the game. Which is to their credit, and I respect it. I can be understanding, and would wait for the full updates.

WVM

I like the game and where it’s been going that much. Now, it might turn some off, and that’s fine. Ren’s eyes can be a bit weirdly puppy doggish and frankly you could argue several of the other girls are hotter. I wouldn’t care. Main girl is best girl in this case. Fight me; or don’t… I still have that basketball career. With this one I can state that I have faith the devs understand what it was they wanted to accomplish.

They have a plan, and they’ve introduced a way forward even with some of the ‘outside the ring’ characters. Which shows they are willing to listen to constructive criticisms or enthusiastic feedback. That’s rare. Good as diamonds. Now if we can get Skye to be loose-y we might be- alright; that was a bad one. I’m not even that big a fan of the Beatles.

WVM – Blog

Barring some less certain points, and again perhaps a little too much willingness to inject ‘body positivity,’ for my tastes the game is very well crafted. There’s more I can say, but I can’t recall if I’ve actually written this one as a full review at the moment. So, if you’ll excuse me…

WVM is ready for free download.

Conclusion

Don’t fear the reaper, and if you must shoot the messenger people, try doing it blind-folded. Promise I won’t tell, and my name sure ain’t William. Though I wouldn’t mind havin’ a go at Selene… if Scott Speedman hadn’t beat me to it. Hope all you weird and wacky gaming guys and gals don’t want to beat me til all I see is black. I don’t even have a red door; and my fuzzy balls are blue enough. Peace. Or pieces, if you’ve got Reese’s. (Due to a technical snaffu on my end; we’ve shown a bit more favoritism in pictures to the number one game – Mea Culpa, but who doesn’t like more pretty pictures, am I right my friends?)

This game is very much like the REALLY old school sims. There are three main stats you must have to get anything done in game. Charm, Knowledge and Fitness.

However, the means to improve is minuscule and randomly given. That’s the first problem. The second is that it has a stat system outside of those three things; hygiene, hunger, and energy.  You start as a loser at a dead-end job. Meet two girls who frankly aren’t that invested or endearing at the start. Quirky does not mean someone you can invest in.

You’re backstory as the sad sack continues as your first roommate moved out with his girl, who was also your roommate. Whom you naturally had a crush on.

She chose the other guy. For some reason, she’s still in the bloody game. I’d call that choice the end point and let people focus on other matters. There are many.

One time of the five I’ve installed this highly frustrating juggling act, did I manage to get anywhere near the sex. This most recent one in fact. Ask me how and I couldn’t tell you.

EVERY thing is random. It’s easier to code, yes. It’s also badly done. The computer often put me in situations where I could not get any of the outcomes I wanted, because I had not enough of any of the given stats above. Or not enough money.

Also, the dates… just, Jesus. If, by some miracle you can figure out what she likes to get to 95% or better, you win sex. Except that you have to have the energy to do that as well or one of the two is going to end the date.

So you lose. Someone needs to tell whoever designed this that a bit of difficulty is fine, but grinding like that and then not just granting a pass to the sex, it’s almost criminal.

The game is not that large. For the fact it has now about eight girls that you can choose to get with. Again, if you can be bothered. They all have different likes and dislikes. It seemed to me even with the walkthrough that I swear to god has not been updated in the four times I’ve seen the game be posted to the site, you will be getting a lot more negative stats than positive ones.

I think the coding has gone wrong somewhere, and yes that’s exactly why I’m not a fan of Skyrim style let’s just randomize everything. Urgh.
The plus side is, you can get three girls of the number pregnant. I admit I didn’t play near far enough to figure out if there was consequence to that, but I’m sure they’ll add one. Hard. I did for both Sasha and Bree, but I was in the middle of trying to get Bree’s second date before I found a pregnancy test. It took one time.

I can’t say if that’s random, but it’s the first time I’ve seen that in any game. I admit, since it actually is my ‘fetish’ and I don’t mind harems, I can’t mark that as bad. I’m just not sure it’s good either. Since there is a definite problem with all the malus’ in the coding, I don’t doubt it could be means to go to a darker path in story eventually.

I don’t know if there’s stuff for threesome marked in game. There might be, but lord knows I’ll never see it. If you miss one date, you lose 10 points with any girl. If you barely had enough to start dating, that’s going to take a LONG time to recoup.

For the record, I don’t mind some necessity of realism in any game. I don’t mind having the food, the shower the energy. BUT, each thing should have been one tick. Each time you did those things it should have filled the damned bar.

A human does not need to eat that often in a day. Note; I said NEED to eat. Yes, you will be hungry but it’s not like you will pass out from not eating for six hours. I’ve gone up to a day and a half at times and it’s not fun, by any stretch, but I’m not dead.

Penalizing the player by not having a defined icon that doesn’t disappear if you go at the wrong time, doesn’t help anyone build their defining stats up. There is a fight scene to the intro to one of the girls who is patreon based, that you need fifty fitness or twenty-five if you take the martial arts trait, to win. That’s ridiculous for how early you get the scene in many cases.

That alone has made me uninstall it twice. Making the stats drain too often, or too far in one go, is the same issue in different skin.

The game does not have a lot of actual event content to it, and it feels like the devs only made gaining stuff you need so hard, to pad it out. If the girls you lived within rl were that indifferent to you, attractive or not I guarantee you’d not bother trying to invest in their lives.

So really, what was the point of this game? It certainly isn’t fun, and that’s more the shame because I can see it has a fair potential.

I think at the end, that’s what blazes my embers the most. Lightening up on the curve, and not punishing the player for wanting to see the sex scenes someone took a good deal of care to draw out, would be a good start to achieving that potential.

Also, straightening out the ex roommate story line to be less complex would as well. Make it more clear she’s not as certain as she could be about running off to marry captain hot pants… or make her blind in love, refusing to listen and broken in consequence.

Which would be when you make the move. The main character should not have further involvement with her than that.

She ripped out his heart. Would you, as any kind of person seeking to build yourself back up, chase the female for being the ‘one who got away.’ Maybe it’s just me but they made this poor bastard one of the worst kinds of masochists. As a fan of dating sim games, there are some things that just don’t need to be that complex.

Or that anal, for realism. Most people have enough imagination to at least consider what it would be like to be in those shoes. Immersion doesn’t need to be I’m actually walking in his, exactly like he would people. T

hat’s not what the word means. As to all the side characters, I would have left them out until the mains were completely done. As in the whole story, and you end up in any given actual relationship including marriage or a poly agreed bond. Either way, they are superfluous attempts to throw a wider net. You don’t have to chase them, but it’s still annoying that most of them are paetron bait or half finished.

My conclusion is simple. The artwork is good. The story has potential and the writing might be hot enough. I don’t know, I skipped over much of it. I’ve installed this game I’m fairly certain for the last time. I wish I could say there was more to recommend it. It’s not bad, if this is the creator’s first attempt, but it’s far too punitive to be called fun.

Until next time, my friends, play safe and stay wild.
