Thank you! I believe very strongly in what we're making, so I don't want to hide it away from everyone. Development is kept alive via Steam and SubscribeStar, so if you'd like to support us that's where to go!
This is a limitation of the RenPy packaging framework, I'm afraid. Android devices and OSes are all slightly different, and whichever configuration we pick, some phones won't support it :/ We go for the most broadly accepted setup, but I'm afraid it won't work for everyone.
In the future, we'll package to multiple configurations, so that people can find the one that works for their phone/tablet. Unfortunately it's not practical to do that while we're still in the middle of development.
I completed a playthrough on version 4.3.7. Went through in one take, got a good end. And one tragic loss. Now, this might be a weird thing to say of a game that, mostly, is doing a thing no one has done before, but
Ravager does the thing it sets out to do, correctly. After that playthrough, I rank Ravager among the top 5 greatest THINGS I have experienced. I feel not only comforted by the character writing, inasmuch as they make tangible the themes I so very much enjoyed playing through narratively; I feel *spiritually enriched* to have done my run, to have cared for those characters; and I feel beyond invigorated to have been shown this team's take on the dynamics of the basic premise.
Once confirming this, I knew I would be purchasing, and so I grabbed it on Steam. And I will fanatically argue, unironically, that the game Ravager is when all its ero content is disabled, merits that purchase at full price.
A whole fifth phase to your tale to show yet! I am in.
Well I think I find a bug .When I go to one of the four major place like the village. I can not go out any more .There are no option to out of those place.Could you please fix this as soon as possible please?
I am a big fan of the game, thank you very much for your work.I do have one question though, regarding the Warlock.Do all the women we send tohim really have to be cut out of the game? (No more scenes, no more visits) Sure, many fates are incompatible with normal life.It is somewhat complicated to have any relationship with the stone statue or what you did merchant girl. But for example, a farm girl should still be available perfectly normally, since her "modification" shouldn't change her too much.(Though you could edit a few of her dialogues slightly)And I don't see a single reason why a wolf girl should be completely cut off just because she now has slightly bigger boobs and an ass. Can we expect all the girls to remain cut off in the future, or are you planning to do something like slightly modify their models and dialogue and bring them back into the game?
I am hoping to add more followup scenes with Malagar's experiments. But as there are a lot of possible configurations, that will take some time, and we're currently focused on building Act V's foundation.
Anyway, like I said, Farm Girl for example doesn't need any new artwork.A few new lines of dialogue are enough here. Merchant Girl is broken... Only a repeatable scene can be added here. Wolf Girl, here are two options (concubine and dragon girl) and both would probably require some new artwork.
Anyway, now that I have your attention, I have one more question.
Isn't Issa an obvious candidate for warlock? A chance to finally make him a real female!
Hello, I love this game after may years finaly a really nice visual novel / hentai game on par with classicls like bible black or discipline <3 I would loooove to buy the full version to get all the content but due to steam germany restriction the game is blocked. :( Will there be any other methods to buy the game in the future maybe when it is fully released? When I pledge to subscribe star do I get the full version only for als long as I do it or how does that work?
Sadly its not that easy. ;) Since my main account is locked to germany anyway a VPN doesn't do anything. On a different account I can then view the game but buying it is still a hassle since I cannot use a german paypal account. You cannot pay with euros when the price is in dollar. Also I hear bad things about suspended steam accouns for doing VPN stuff so Im a bit hesitant with that anyway.
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it! If you pledge to SubStar at $20+ you also get a permanent Steam key, which bypasses regional restrictions. Or you can back at $5 for temporary access.
Ok, I tried to do that, since the game is easily worth 20$ than the 15$ on steam but subscribestar only supports credit card payment which is also not that common in germany to have. :( I'm doomed I feel like living in some backwater country then in central europe... :P
Ayo, the best Visual Novel I've ever played my guy! I wish I could support u, but it is unfortunatelly impossible because of logistical situation in my country, if you know what I mean. Keep up the good work, I will 100% support u when swift will work again! Looking forward to next updates, and thank you!
Did you try talking to everyone except Inej to see if its a bug getting through the lines or if its a bug with her dialogue? Also the download could have messed up
Now a lot of different things - games or manga are translated into different languages, but often the translation is just disgusting and ILLITERATOR!!
You never know who writes there - maybe a semi-literate 16 year old jerk!Which will just ruin your beautiful game.
I have an example, one highly educated person (just in literature) - I can ask her)) ..... If you are interested and you need a professional translation.
I doubt that it's financially viable to use professional translation for this project. Don't forget that the tastes Ravager caters to aren't exactly mainstream, and also, due to the nature of the content, it is problematic in some countries and on some platforms, Patreon for example censores the game to some exent and it is entirely censored on Steam in germany. Bad translation is annoying, I know. In fact I am German and when I first started the game and selected German I switched back to English because I'm quite good at English and reading it in the original language is way more pleasant to me. But for people who barely speak English a sub-par translation is still better than none. If you've read poorly translated mangas you'll know what I mean.
I asked some artist to help them translate their games both into Russian and Ukrainian. Like 100% of them refused! I didn't even demand any payment lol.
P.S. I just know how much people don't play visual novels because of:
1) Bad translation(Google Translator. etc.)
2) Absence of Russian translation.
3) Bad Russian translators!(Wrong translation of slang, allegories. proverbs, etc.)
As of right now, you have to buy the game on steam or support the developers on other sites. It is currently $15 to buy the game if you don't want to wait for act 5. The other part is covered in the walkthrough.
This is a limitation of the RenPy packaging framework, I'm afraid. Android devices and OSes are all slightly different, and whichever configuration we pick, some phones won't support it :/ We go for the most broadly accepted setup, but I'm afraid it won't work for everyone.
When the game is done, we'll package to multiple configurations so that people can find the one that works for their phone. Unfortunately it's not practical to do that while we're still in the middle of development.
thanks for your attention ^_^ I suspected that since my previous device ran the game normally and the current one, which is better, doesn't run the game, but I look forward to the game's development of you is amazing
I am having a issue playing the game it doesn't let me play as the game crashes at the part where the girls are talking and I had this problem with 11 and 10 and 12 it just crashes without any warning
Look at the above comment. The only way to play is with PC then it won't crash. I had the same problem but now we both have to wait till the game is finished properly so we can play on Android.
Agreed, that Maelys scene came out of nowhere when I first played it and did not feel good. Although, I heard that the dev is looking to finish that plotline in Act V.
I think that 4MinuteWarning has said that they intend to keep the player as a dragon and not a human/humaniod. I think they said that it's part of what sets this game apart.
Could you make the description clearer about the dragon's gender? And add the pairings (M/F, M/M, so on)? Currently this page is neutral about it when the catgirls in the intro use he/him for the dragon and refer to sex with the dragon as straight.
Didn't know that opening the game since I've noticed that games that aren't explicit about it either have a cis guy as the protagonist or have the player choose the sex and/or gender. Other possibilities from the description were the dragon not having a gender or the dragon not being given gendered terms so the player can project onto them. Checked the game out because the concept is cool and in case the "their," "you," and "your" meant one of the latter three things.
I would love to see more content with the elves. They are are well written, Heloise is probably my favorite side character, and have a lot of potential for story or scenes. I could just imagine the shock on Valzira's face if she found out about Malice and if you recruited Maelys "willingly". Even just more lair event's with the other characters would be cool.
Some other thoughts/random ideas:
A way to bring Naho and Valzira around. Ijust tend to try to make as many happy as possible on playthoughs. If not completely, maybe some more "nice" options so they don't always get the short end of the stick.
A scene with Mina if you buy the bath since she talks about needing one. I know there is a scene if she's consort, but she complains about needing one if not.
More consort scenes, even the non-h ones. Sometimes, just spending time doing the various activities with your consorts is just as fun as rampaging.
Different lair/room art depending on the consort. All the consorts seem to have wildly different decorating styles based on their descriptions.
Will there be any way to organize saves? I know that it might not be possible because of RenPy, but it could make things more convenient. In trying to get a lot of the paths/scenes, I might have saved too much and have a lot of them. Being able to, move, delete, or even name saves would make finding the right one a lot easier.

The Steam version includes Act V. Presently, that is just the intro, but it will be expanded as we complete additions to it! Acts I-IV will continue to be updated as well, and those will remain free.
hello, is there gay content in this game? I don't know if I've made the wrong decisions but I haven't come across any gay scene, and if there is, with which characters I would like to have a minimum clue
There is gay content, I don't know what it is since that isn't my cup of tea but make sure that you have the option selected in the preference menu first. I also believe that if you check their walk through you might be able to see which characters you can initiate it with.
There will be more Enid content in future, but she wouldn't be interested in being anything fancy like a consort. She's an honest hardworking woman, she is!
Hey I downloaded the ravager game for PC and I am having trouble opening it. It saved as a file and I'm not sure how to open it. The game seems fun and I will like to buy it on steam at some point. I'm having trouble figuring out how to open the game. I have a windows laptop if that helps. Not sure if I downloaded the wrong version or something.
Bro love the game been playing for a long time but theres been a problem recently which is when I installed the new android update it opens but it just keeps crashing at the start when you meet sabetha and inej. Please help
Interesting. I have android 7 and launched the game well, managed to recruit Daria, stumbled upon the huntress on the first day of Act 3 and went to visit Mary Aya, it seems to be <farmer>
I have android verison 11 yetc still it's a problem and yeah I also did those I played 4.3.8 then quit so the game adds something new but now nothing. Whenever I open game and the cat sisters come up in the beggening the game crashes everytime.
Overall Ravager is among the best H-Games I've ever played, if you're into the kind of things this game has to offer, you can stop reading here and just start playing.
I wanna start the long part of my comment with the basic premise of the game, the idea to let player take the role usually given to the antagonist is by itself already interesting but not that novel anymore, yet I've never seen it executed that well.
In other evil-MC games, the player is often either forced too much into being cruel or evil, either simply by a lack of options the game presents, which is frustrating and breaks immersion, or narrative apologetics that excuse the player's behavior too much and thereby drain the actual evilness from it. Another problem is that the consequences of and the writing after evil options sometimes seem short and vapid as if the writers just want them there for the sake of it rather than maintain the notion that the MC might actually be evil throughout the entire writing process. Ravager exhibits none of these problems, stays clear of forcing unnecessary moral ambiguity, and even better: It manages to incorporate machiavellistically justifiable "evilness" (eg. dooming woman to be raped by kobolds to win a war) alongside pure, pointless cruelty. During my playtoughs I often felt free to do as I please, be merciful or cruel at a whim, scare them, spare them, rape them, kill them, whatever I please, yet I've also often felt the necessity to make the fate of characters a strategic decision. This is astonishingly well executed.
The next thing I want to touch on is the decision to have the MC decisively be a Dragon. No scaly humanoid with horns and tail, no shapeshifting into humanoid form or any other excuse to make the MC a human in some way. This feels very refreshing and makes this a very appealing and interesting fantasy, not just another basic H-Game fantasy sprinkled with animalistic traits.
On the narrative side of things, the game is good at presenting a satisfying power fantasy, giving the player the lethal form of a dragon, with all the perks that come with that, while not being invulnerable, esp at the beginning. When looking for them, there are cracks in the facade though: When attacking Sabetha and Inej for example the fight seem somewhat contrived and not really authentic IMO, but given the sheer amount of unapologetic fantasy in the game and that MC is a dragon, nailing this kind of thing is anything but easy and overall the game does very well in that regard.
I also really like how information is exposed, it risks leaving small gaps in the player's understanding of the world to have the player think about it and/or have things fall into place from other characters or plotlines without leaving the player too clueless at any point in time.
In terms of characters Ravager has some weaknesses, Balthorne and Darja especially are rather bland characters(although Darja is very likable) and yes I'm applying rather high standards here, compared to many other games(esp. H-Games) Ravager's characters are perfectly fine, and considering how many characters there already are compared to how big the game is as of now this is excusable, but still, I feel like there's some lost potential there.
In terms of assets, the game already good but still feels a bit scruffy here and there. IMHO it could use some nice artwork for more non-sexual and semi-sexual scenes(like the one biting Balthorne's arm, or the one heating up the water in the minecart with dragon fire). One example where such artwork would be nice is the scene where you can kill Heloïse yourself for a specific reason(not gonna elaborate to not spoil it here). I have no experience developing VNs so idk how much development resources these artworks cost(nor how much this kind of project brings in) so maybe this is a limitation given by the scope of the project and also, as the disclaimer at the start of the game says, the assets might not be final, but I think this is worth pointing out anyways.
I've been playing on version 4.3.12 so if there's a later version, things might have changed.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! I'm glad that you're enjoying the game, and appreciate some of the design decisions that I've made. I'd certainly like to add more (and more modern) illustrations for less explicit scenes - our artist Lubbio is already working at 100% capacity, but I've taken on Undoodle (who did the final showdown with Balthorne) to help with that.

This is one of the best if not the best vns I've ever played like it's not even a competition how is this free!?
Show post...
It's not the full game yet they are going to post the entire game in steam.
Thank you! I believe very strongly in what we're making, so I don't want to hide it away from everyone. Development is kept alive via Steam and SubscribeStar, so if you'd like to support us that's where to go!
OK new to the game and just downloaded it but it won’t let me get past the second text box
This is a limitation of the RenPy packaging framework, I'm afraid. Android devices and OSes are all slightly different, and whichever configuration we pick, some phones won't support it :/ We go for the most broadly accepted setup, but I'm afraid it won't work for everyone.

Thank you I’ll be getting computer soon so I hope cock blocked again
no more 32-bits? saaad won't be able to enjoy the story anymore qwq

A whole fifth phase to your tale to show yet! I am in.
That is wonderful feedback to receive, thank you! I'm glad you care as much about it as I do when making it ^_^
i have the previous version for android, do i need to download the whole new version that dropped? how to transfer data, tnx a lot
You need to redownload and reinstall. It will replace your existing copy, but your saves will be kept.
look like not only the option of left place all choose seems to lost one of them.
It now has a bar to scroll at the side, the lowest needs to be scrolled down to (took me a while to notice as well)
Thank u for u help.Now I see it.
Well I think I find a bug .When I go to one of the four major place like the village. I can not go out any more .There are no option to out of those place.Could you please fix this as soon as possible please?
Use the scrollbar on the right hand side of the screen! In the next update, we'll improve the UI so it's easier to see/use.
I am a big fan of the game, thank you very much for your work. I do have one question though, regarding the Warlock. Do all the women we send tohim really have to be cut out of the game? (No more scenes, no more visits) Sure, many fates are incompatible with normal life. It is somewhat complicated to have any relationship with the stone statue or what you did merchant girl. But for example, a farm girl should still be available perfectly normally, since her "modification" shouldn't change her too much. (Though you could edit a few of her dialogues slightly) And I don't see a single reason why a wolf girl should be completely cut off just because she now has slightly bigger boobs and an ass. Can we expect all the girls to remain cut off in the future, or are you planning to do something like slightly modify their models and dialogue and bring them back into the game?
I am hoping to add more followup scenes with Malagar's experiments. But as there are a lot of possible configurations, that will take some time, and we're currently focused on building Act V's foundation.
That is a satisfactory answer, thank you.
Anyway, like I said, Farm Girl for example doesn't need any new artwork. A few new lines of dialogue are enough here. Merchant Girl is broken... Only a repeatable scene can be added here. Wolf Girl, here are two options (concubine and dragon girl) and both would probably require some new artwork.
Anyway, now that I have your attention, I have one more question.
Isn't Issa an obvious candidate for warlock?
A chance to finally make him a real female!
Hello, I love this game after may years finaly a really nice visual novel / hentai game on par with classicls like bible black or discipline <3
I would loooove to buy the full version to get all the content but due to steam germany restriction the game is blocked. :( Will there be any other methods to buy the game in the future maybe when it is fully released? When I pledge to subscribe star do I get the full version only for als long as I do it or how does that work?
Use a vpn...it will bypass restrictions in your country
Sadly its not that easy. ;) Since my main account is locked to germany anyway a VPN doesn't do anything. On a different account I can then view the game but buying it is still a hassle since I cannot use a german paypal account. You cannot pay with euros when the price is in dollar. Also I hear bad things about suspended steam accouns for doing VPN stuff so Im a bit hesitant with that anyway.
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it! If you pledge to SubStar at $20+ you also get a permanent Steam key, which bypasses regional restrictions. Or you can back at $5 for temporary access.
Ok, I tried to do that, since the game is easily worth 20$ than the 15$ on steam but subscribestar only supports credit card payment which is also not that common in germany to have. :(
I'm doomed I feel like living in some backwater country then in central europe... :P
FYI: I made a deal with a nice person on the discord of the game gave him 20€ and he gifted the game to me. I'm very happy now. <3
Ayo, the best Visual Novel I've ever played my guy! I wish I could support u, but it is unfortunatelly impossible because of logistical situation in my country, if you know what I mean. Keep up the good work, I will 100% support u when swift will work again! Looking forward to next updates, and thank you!
Cheers! I hope the world gets less crazy soon. In the meantime, I'll keep making content :)
any new devlogs/updates?
Looking forward to next month/this month
Should be a couple days unless they had some problems then maybe next month
even if its next month, its worth the wait, dont wanna rush them
Absolutely
Will there be more gay options in this game?
Can't continue after resuing the princess on android
Most public versions of the game only go up to the end of act 4, rescuing the princess. To get the start of act 5, you have to buy the game on steam.
i can't since i am on android
I can't dam buy game bc of logistical problems in my country so sad :(
Who has problems getting through the first three lines of dialogue of the game
What type of problems?
When Inej starts to talk the game closes
Did you try talking to everyone except Inej to see if its a bug getting through the lines or if its a bug with her dialogue? Also the download could have messed up
It happens since I'm a new player
I don't recall this happening when i first played
Walkthrough where?
You can access it from the game menu where it's the 6th out of the 10 options.
Here's the link anyways: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ul8MR2J9JeOAT3FKGZd_RZFtTj79eQaYipI2ZdLa0Ts/...
for the sake of this game, I created an account on this site to keep track of when Chapter 5 will be released
it's a pity that there is no full translation into Russian, but despite this, the game is still very interesting
If you speak both English and Russian I'm pretty sure you can ask them if you can help translate
It's true! We're always looking for people to help with translations :)
It is not right! Just talking is not enough!!
Now a lot of different things - games or manga are translated into different languages, but often the translation is just disgusting and ILLITERATOR!!
You never know who writes there - maybe a semi-literate 16 year old jerk! Which will just ruin your beautiful game.
I have an example, one highly educated person (just in literature) - I can ask her)) ..... If you are interested and you need a professional translation.
it's a shame, but I wanted to help
Then please come to our Discord server (linked in the main menu of the game) and post a message in #join-us!
I doubt that it's financially viable to use professional translation for this project. Don't forget that the tastes Ravager caters to aren't exactly mainstream, and also, due to the nature of the content, it is problematic in some countries and on some platforms, Patreon for example censores the game to some exent and it is entirely censored on Steam in germany.

Lol men why so toxic. I've helped translating into Russian and Ukrainian more then 15 mangas. You should not be so toxic lmao.
How can i play after the act of attacking the castle, and hiq can i unlock the naga from raping the moon elf pls?
As of right now, you have to buy the game on steam or support the developers on other sites. It is currently $15 to buy the game if you don't want to wait for act 5. The other part is covered in the walkthrough.
well I can't play the mobile version the game crashes and exits when Sabetha and Inej are doing the intro is it a bug or my device doesn't support it?
Renpy wasn't meant for Mobile
This is a limitation of the RenPy packaging framework, I'm afraid. Android devices and OSes are all slightly different, and whichever configuration we pick, some phones won't support it :/ We go for the most broadly accepted setup, but I'm afraid it won't work for everyone.

Look at the above comment. The only way to play is with PC then it won't crash. I had the same problem but now we both have to wait till the game is finished properly so we can play on Android.
Hay algún discord? Porque debería haber uno
so i have played this game before i think i have the version 4.3.11 and i dont want to lose the progress ive made is there a way to update it?
Can you please send/share this version? I have a new one not translated
Yes, saves are retained on the same device. Just install the new version and start playing!
If I could give you 10 stars... I would....
Congratulations...
i... wept...for Maelys. Congratulations and...bravo...May there be an encore where light may returns.
Agreed, that Maelys scene came out of nowhere when I first played it and did not feel good. Although, I heard that the dev is looking to finish that plotline in Act V.
mmmm there is some more scenes with the daughter after the dream? Or we should wait to the next update?
We are waiting for the update, this idea is also interesting >:3
I just wanna end with my daughter, and a grandaughter happys on the castle.... o.-
Do you stay dragon the whole game? Any chances of shapeshifting into like human? Or humanoid enough
Most likely we will remain the Dragon forever, but perhaps the author will add such an opportunity to the magician in the last act
I think that 4MinuteWarning has said that they intend to keep the player as a dragon and not a human/humaniod. I think they said that it's part of what sets this game apart.
(edit: here is the comment)
https://itch.io/post/5812677
Try using a VPN
It is not currently possible, but we hope to release on Itch soon.
With choosing a name on android version i type a name then click enter but nothing happens
Nevermind figured it out
Try to reinstall, if it doesn't work, then either restart the device, or abruptly turn it off in the settings and re-enter
i like the potrait art more than the nsfw art scenes
Could you make the description clearer about the dragon's gender? And add the pairings (M/F, M/M, so on)? Currently this page is neutral about it when the catgirls in the intro use he/him for the dragon and refer to sex with the dragon as straight.

RenPy currently doesn't have the ability to manage that smoothly - but if/when it does, we'll do our best to implement it!
How do I get the abandoned mines and ancient spire
also, who are malagar and ziz-something and how do i get them
There's a walkthrough linked in the main menu of the game :)
Everytime I open the game it kicks me out and I'm on Android
This is a limitation of the RenPy packaging framework, I'm afraid. Android devices and OSes are all slightly different, and whichever configuration we pick, some phones won't support it :/ We go for the most broadly accepted setup, but I'm afraid it won't work for everyone.

I use joyplay is work better on android
how do I do that
Pain in the butt method that doesnt work half the time. For me personally it has never worked
another question, what is the difference between the paid steam version and the free version of itch?
The Steam version includes Act V. Presently, that is just the intro, but it will be expanded as we complete additions to it! Acts I-IV will continue to be updated as well, and those will remain free.
hello, is there gay content in this game? I don't know if I've made the wrong decisions but I haven't come across any gay scene, and if there is, with which characters I would like to have a minimum clue
There is gay content, I don't know what it is since that isn't my cup of tea but make sure that you have the option selected in the preference menu first. I also believe that if you check their walk through you might be able to see which characters you can initiate it with.

man im not gonna say, but a maelys scene is mean and i mean in the kokoro mean, love it, but god damn didnt see it coming.
Does Issa count as gay?
Schrödinger's Schlong: As long as you don't see the dick, it's not gay.
as in in the preferences
Yes, Eburon
and Issacontent counts as gay.Issa's scenes are gated by the Intersex tag, not the Gay tag.
The more you know.
Can we have more Ravager High? It's hilarious
Will we ever get to have Enid as a consort? Kinda disappointed that we couldn’t but other than that, I enjoyed this game
There will be more Enid content in future, but she wouldn't be interested in being anything fancy like a consort. She's an honest hardworking woman, she is!
She ain't no lady apparently
Hey I downloaded the ravager game for PC and I am having trouble opening it. It saved as a file and I'm not sure how to open it. The game seems fun and I will like to buy it on steam at some point. I'm having trouble figuring out how to open the game. I have a windows laptop if that helps. Not sure if I downloaded the wrong version or something.
Extract the Zipfile and double click on Ravager.exe
You are a good person. Thank you.
Bro love the game been playing for a long time but theres been a problem recently which is when I installed the new android update it opens but it just keeps crashing at the start when you meet sabetha and inej. Please help
anyone else having this problem? If you do have this please tell me how to solve this I really wanna play the game.
download it to your pc, it will be easier
Quick Q bro don't have PC only have android. That's why I stated Android version.
Interesting. I have android 7 and launched the game well, managed to recruit Daria, stumbled upon the huntress on the first day of Act 3 and went to visit Mary Aya, it seems to be <farmer>
I have android verison 11 yetc still it's a problem and yeah I also did those I played 4.3.8 then quit so the game adds something new but now nothing. Whenever I open game and the cat sisters come up in the beggening the game crashes everytime.
Overall Ravager is among the best H-Games I've ever played, if you're into the kind of things this game has to offer, you can stop reading here and just start playing.
I wanna start the long part of my comment with the basic premise of the game, the idea to let player take the role usually given to the antagonist is by itself already interesting but not that novel anymore, yet I've never seen it executed that well.
In other evil-MC games, the player is often either forced too much into being cruel or evil, either simply by a lack of options the game presents, which is frustrating and breaks immersion, or narrative apologetics that excuse the player's behavior too much and thereby drain the actual evilness from it. Another problem is that the consequences of and the writing after evil options sometimes seem short and vapid as if the writers just want them there for the sake of it rather than maintain the notion that the MC might actually be evil throughout the entire writing process. Ravager exhibits none of these problems, stays clear of forcing unnecessary moral ambiguity, and even better: It manages to incorporate machiavellistically justifiable "evilness" (eg. dooming woman to be raped by kobolds to win a war) alongside pure, pointless cruelty. During my playtoughs I often felt free to do as I please, be merciful or cruel at a whim, scare them, spare them, rape them, kill them, whatever I please, yet I've also often felt the necessity to make the fate of characters a strategic decision. This is astonishingly well executed.
The next thing I want to touch on is the decision to have the MC decisively be a Dragon. No scaly humanoid with horns and tail, no shapeshifting into humanoid form or any other excuse to make the MC a human in some way. This feels very refreshing and makes this a very appealing and interesting fantasy, not just another basic H-Game fantasy sprinkled with animalistic traits.
On the narrative side of things, the game is good at presenting a satisfying power fantasy, giving the player the lethal form of a dragon, with all the perks that come with that, while not being invulnerable, esp at the beginning. When looking for them, there are cracks in the facade though: When attacking Sabetha and Inej for example the fight seem somewhat contrived and not really authentic IMO, but given the sheer amount of unapologetic fantasy in the game and that MC is a dragon, nailing this kind of thing is anything but easy and overall the game does very well in that regard.
I also really like how information is exposed, it risks leaving small gaps in the player's understanding of the world to have the player think about it and/or have things fall into place from other characters or plotlines without leaving the player too clueless at any point in time.
In terms of characters Ravager has some weaknesses, Balthorne and Darja especially are rather bland characters(although Darja is very likable) and yes I'm applying rather high standards here, compared to many other games(esp. H-Games) Ravager's characters are perfectly fine, and considering how many characters there already are compared to how big the game is as of now this is excusable, but still, I feel like there's some lost potential there.
In terms of assets, the game already good but still feels a bit scruffy here and there. IMHO it could use some nice artwork for more non-sexual and semi-sexual scenes(like the one biting Balthorne's arm, or the one heating up the water in the minecart with dragon fire). One example where such artwork would be nice is the scene where you can kill Heloïse yourself for a specific reason(not gonna elaborate to not spoil it here). I have no experience developing VNs so idk how much development resources these artworks cost(nor how much this kind of project brings in) so maybe this is a limitation given by the scope of the project and also, as the disclaimer at the start of the game says, the assets might not be final, but I think this is worth pointing out anyways.
I've been playing on version 4.3.12 so if there's a later version, things might have changed.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! I'm glad that you're enjoying the game, and appreciate some of the design decisions that I've made. I'd certainly like to add more (and more modern) illustrations for less explicit scenes - our artist Lubbio is already working at 100% capacity, but I've taken on Undoodle (who did the final showdown with Balthorne) to help with that.
