Balls Out: Nu Vagis

The game looked ambitious and had a fresh, novel feel to it at first. The visuals and initial setup showed real promise, and I was curious to see where it would go. Unfortunately, it got abandoned before it could move past the prologue in any meaningful way. I still couldn’t quite figure out what the main direction of the story was supposed to be. Rate could be bigger if this was on hold, on in progress instead of "abandoned". Currently it really lack of closure, so at the end of current content feels only disappointment.

Damn, what a crazy awesome idea! The trailer had me rolling with laughter. It's kinda weird, though, making a visual novel on Unity, but I guess that's how the developer ended up doing it. The graphics are actually pretty good. There are some inconsistencies here and there, like different artists worked on it, but overall, I shouldn't nitpick. The animation is either decent or just switching images. But man, the dialogues and the music are on point! I gotta say, it's not a classic game, but it's something completely new and fresh, even if it's technically borrowed from classic games. Bold, cool, and intense. I'm really into it. It feels like it was made by some old-school nerds, you know, the ones who've been around and have some battle scars. Just like me. Overall, kudos to the team, but they're kinda slow in development. Come on, let's speed it up, I'm already waiting!

Seems rather a bait and switch/cash grab. Has pretty much nothing to do with the game/IP it's stealing from, but wants to use that name recognition. This is somehow even worse than what Uwe Bolle would do with video game movies. On top of that it's buggy and nearly a year later there's still little to no actual content. Devs spend more time trying to market the game and advertising "discounts" than actually putting content in.

I was hoping for a lot more from this parody. No offense to the creator of the game, but this is a bonafide clicking simulator. Nothing substantial happens within the first bit of the game, and when it does the animation ruins it. The art style had some promise, but the actual art looks hideous. I

I'm... not liking this so much. I love Fallout, and think a porn parody that parodies its universe (and New Vegas specifically) has a lot of potential, but this game walks an odd line between "porn parody" that takes all the names and slightly changes them, and its own completely different thing that just takes some of the trappings of the Fallout universe. The translation and proofreading probably need a second pass, and the characters, particularly the MC, are really flat, with confusing motivations. I feel like the parts where this game diverges from New Vegas are its weakest points. I would much prefer the MC be closer to a blank slate like the Courier, who has slightly more of an open world rather than being railroaded. In addition, some of the sex puns that replace names, something which is a hallmark of H-games, are really tortured, and seem like they maybe don't have a full grasp on English wordplay. Like, "Bruh" isn't a sexual term, and replacing "Ghoul" with "G-hole" is... a lot. However, this game is basically a first release, and Unity is a very versatile engine, so there's a lot of room for improvement. I don't think the devs are incompetent or whatever, just that this game suffers from a lack of direction and could use some work in the writing department.
