Ren'Py - Deep Vault 69 [v0.5.3] [bohohon]

the art is awesome but after all this time the writing ranges from passable to insane to actual russian

the grind is also pretty bad and every combat ive started has resulting in me losing except for the cockroach eventually

shoulda just been an art book

The game is pretty… weak.

The most positive aspect is the visuals. The artwork looks vibrant, and each character has a unique and appealing design. There are animations, sometimes. But the developers couldn’t decide whether they wanted frame-by-frame hand-drawn animation or something resembling Live2D. The latter seems to have won out.

The gameplay just exists. It’s not engaging. Looting isn’t fun, crafting isn’t fun, combat isn’t fun, traveling isn’t fun. Everything is implemented at a surface level, with no depth whatsoever. Personally, I find the massive gap between minimum and maximum damage annoying, it’s too random. Some weapon types and modifiers help make damage more consistent, but that’s about it.

The worst part of this game is definitely the characters and writing. They’re so flat, so… unremarkable. The devs tried to give them distinct personalities, but relationship development follows a pattern from "fuck off/oh, hi" straight to "I’m a slave to your dick." And this happens almost instantly. By the middle of a relationship arc, none of the girls feel any different from each other.

The writing itself is overloaded with jokes and references to Russian culture. Not all of them even elicit a smile, so the sheer quantity ends up hurting the game. Aside from that, you can tell the writer tried to be literary, but the result feels bland.

The descriptions of sex scenes are garbage. It reads like someone with zero sexual experience desperately trying to do dirty talk, and it completely kills the mood.

Overall, the game has a decent amount of content, but the quality of that content is just off-putting.

Not your everyday VN.

Story 8/10

The story is basically a fallout parody, as someone who loves the fallout series I liked it. Some parts were more cringy than funny.

Gameplay 7/10

Actual gameplay in a renpy game
The combat is pretty barebones but its one of the better renpy examples.
gearing is meaningful but kinda slow.

Art 9/10

Really good 2d art! This boosted the game a lot in my eyes, characters are pretty hot, scenes are decent. Animations are few.

Amount of Content 8/10

Plenty of porn in this one, the fetishes are optional.


Overall a good game, I'll update the review when I finish it, but I doubt it will lose a star.

Whoa, that was one hell of an adventure. Must say, the whole story is pretty decent, it is well-paced and not lagging. Sexual content is the main jewel here - even 2d pics were smoking hot.
But as for the gameplay I wouldn't be so optimistic - it still needs polishing in terms of loot management (at the end you'll be overwhelmed by the trash in your stash) and item overall properties :
- can't use laser pistols (for a reasons unknown);
- 10-mm pistol is inferior to Bloodbath revolver because of Multishot ability, adding special weapon traits would make battles divergent;
- only Vault jumpsuit is available without any alternatives - would be nice to have advanced Vault gear or raiders armour;
- food healing is painfully low, especially when fighting two enemies;

Still, great game, would definitely recommend for playing!

There's nothing good here except for the quality of the artwork.
Big amount of grind, like its take a 15 fights in order to level up from 1 to 2
Poor UI. For example: you find a new weapon but u have no idea whats it damage, because developer did not see fit to display the weapon stats
Transaltion is a mess. Game is not translated normally not in Russian or English. If you play in English, you will see a huge number of grammatical errors. And if you play in Russian, you will see that half of the game is in English

Ill give it 3 stars for the production value and artwork, but the translation needs proof reading and the rampant misgendering of the female character (either though translation error or some handy wavey lore thing) took me right out of the game before I even left the doctors office.

There are a lot of things to like. The dev has clearly put a lot of work and a lot of thought into it. From a production standpoint, it is clearly 4-5 stars. The theming, the characters, the mini games... I mean, this is one of those rare times a dev can make a renpy AVN feel like an actual game. Seriously well done.

At the end of the day, however, it is just a grindy AVN. Find your pip boy, talk to so and so, get your uniform... yada yada yada. I played for a bit, killed a radroach, etc and found myself nodding off at the keyboard. Which, for me, sums up Deep Vault 69.

I am sure there will be a lot of people who love this, and I think this is something I would have loved when I first started getting into these things, but it just is not my thing anymore. I don't mind a little grind, but too much just gets boring for me. Especially when it is things like, get your uniform, take a 5 minute walk....

Regardless, if you are a fan of AVNs and you like the Fallout series, you should clearly download this and try it yourself. It is worth a playthru to make up your own mind.

And seriously... good luck to a very talented developer.

Story/Character:
The story is quite simple. You wake up from a hangover after celebrating passing your test to see what you’ll be in the future and it’s decided that you are an adventurer whose job is to explore outside the vault. I enjoy the current story and the whole game is a parody of the Fallout series. It’s a great homage to the series with lots of references from the game and lots of easter eggs from other pop culture as well. The story is not serious and is light-hearted.

The MC is your typical MC, nothing out of the ordinary. Just the randomly chosen one. What’s unique about this game is the choice of picking an female or male protagonist. Depending on the choices, there are different sex scenes and dialogue. I picked the male protagonist where I believe, currently it has more content than the female protagonist. All the girls in the game are great as well. They all have unique personalities and quirkiness to each other.

Content:
There is a chunk of content that will keep you occupied for a couple of hours. Each character has some sexual content, some more than others. The quality of sex content differs for each character with some having animations and long sex scenes. Whilst some are quite short, where the girl literally touches your dick and you cum.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is your sandbox game where you are entrapped in a vault with various rooms you can access to talk to the girls. The rooms and navigation of the sandbox are simple & well-managed. It’s divided into the main quest and the character stories. Once you get the job as an adventurer, you can explore the world outside the vault. The concept of exploring the wasteland is a bit confusing and a bit of a grind. There are various quest items required for pass quests but at times feels very confusing. I would grind 10-15 minutes for a single item and find myself confused. The turn-based combat system is okay, it needs some work but it still does it job. As well as the inventory and looting system is also a bit convoluted.

Visuals:
The visuals are amazing! The 2D art is great and eye-catching. It definitely has influence from the summertime saga in regards to the art direction. But with the flair of fallout touch that very much fits the art style. Sex scenes are sometimes great, other times are okay. Animations that are done in the game are done very well and smoothly, albeit there are few of them. I give kudos to the developer about the actual feel and look of the game. It does homage to the Fallout series from the UI of the neon green contrasting with the black. The map of navigating through the vault is a love letter to the fallout shelter game. Stemming from it’s mini-game as well.

Sound:
The sound design is fantastic. The old-school radio in the background makes me feel like I’m playing a Fallout DLC. Sound effects of saving your file have that iconic fallout sound that feels nostalgic. Sex sounds are hot and does it job, but are inconsistent as it doesn’t appear in every sex scene.

This is honestly such a great homage and parody of the fallout series. It feels like a 2D Fallout adult game as a spin off. If you’ve played or like the fallout series, this would be a great game to play. Through the references and easter eggs, you’ll definitely get a few chuckles and a pleasant time with your hand.

The art is good but the game is put together with spit and glue, I've broken several quests by just doing the bare minimum of what's asked.
I get why the Mc goes by male pronouns but I feel like that should be changed if you choose a female character.

Although the art is rather alright, the gameplay is rather frustrating. Oftentimes, you keep attacking only to miss, and you find yourself dying to a creature that could only take 2 hits from you. Plus, resources (things?) are too hard to come by for trade with the mercenary twins. Not only that, but the english translation is rather poor. It's a good thing that the gallery's unlocked when you download this, because the art's really the only thing worth it in this game.

One of the visual novels you just have to play. Beautiful visual style, fun story, great cutscenes and good mini-games. For me, it's definitely "one of those" visual novels now .

The game also gets an extra star from me because of the speed of development compared to others

Game shows a lot of promise

The artstyle is the best thing, very beautiful, and with very good animations to go with it

Gameplay is very shallow but I don't think it needs to be anything more

English can be bad at times but it's nothing immersion breaking, everything is understandable

awesome!
This game is the best gift for existing Fallout 4 gamers!
The art style is good and I think it expresses the identity of the Fallout game well. I look forward to the development of the game in the future.

Animation is a solid plus, the creator made their own designs and drawings. It's hardder but drawn games can be so much more interesting.
Scripting needs some work, the language shifts to something else randomly. This is still very much in its infancy so I assume it'll be very different a year from now.
Overall solid content however it sometimes feel like there is more description then imagery which can feel discombobulating.

I adore Fallout, and seeing a Fallout parody is a catch ! I had to try it cause of the Parody, not going to lie.

Pros
--------
- Really charming/good artstyle
- OK storyline ?
- Amazing animations/scene
- Doesn't blue ball you too much, you get what you earn after effort.
- It's a fucking Fallout Parody.

Cons
--------------------_
- Wish it was in Unity/more features to expand the potential of this Fallout parody
- Sounds isn't the best
- There are errors/crash in randomly in some places
- Not a fan of the combat system, kinda almost lost my interest with the minigame.
- Dialogue writing is..... you know. Not that great. You can tell the creator isn't english mainly.

honestly its a good game with very high potential
amazing art with a few animations, its a fallout parody. the writings abit average, there's a combat system which is a turn base that is good.

some characters are stereotypical but some are a bit different and have excellent potential to be good characters. with only a few content its a good game. willing to wait for the results of this one.

Deep Vault 69 [v0.2.2_a]

Art looks nice. Writing was painfully average.

Directionless sandbox - also a shit concept. Light up where there's stuff to do so I don't have to click through every location looking for triggers! And/or give me a quest log so I know where to go and what to do. Please.

And the final nail in the coffin for me is how slow and unoptimized this is. Why does it take me 4 seconds to open the map? It's Ren'Py for God's sake! It should be almost impossible to have it run this slowly. The coding needs a lot of work.

[v0.2.2_a]
Another game that will be finished in 5 or more years...
(Doesn't mean it is bad)

-Story, Originality
Fallout setting, chicks and d**ks.

-Renders
Nice and vibrant art.

-Sound
Some okayish sounds and music.

-Playability
Takes some time to finish...
(But we have saves and cheats)

-Performance
Runs like an average Ren'Py.

-Bugs
Didn't see any.

-Animations
Still pictures (and animations?).

-Voice Acting
Don't remember hearing voices.

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
There are some h-scenes, but it'll take time for the ammount of h-content to be enough.

Hopefully this project prospers.

(v0.2.0a)
Wow.. It is realy promising. Not much to say in this stage but exp system, random encounters and exploration, stats, battle system etc.. that game promising too much for future.. its a good start and solid foundation. Fallout concept is rich but it is hard to work on, I hope devs keep up the good work.

0.1.19

It needs a lot of work. It has promise, but not much going for it right now. Animation is good, but art is hit or miss. I'm not super into massively huge tits, but maybe that's just me

The content available now is very bare bones. You get one quest outside and it's very easy. The reward for it is nothing. There is XP and stats, but so far they serve no purpose

The English in this is very broken. I gather the creator is not a native speaker so they should consider getting someone to help translate to make it a bit smoother

I haven't seen any glitches other than one scene with a visual glitch, so that's a good mark

Characters seem very cardboard though. Like, the sister is a stereotypical cartoon older sibling who constantly tries to put the younger one down. I'm alos not into incest so I don't care to look down that line. Just saying I know what they're going for with the sister and it comes off as rough

Other characters are pretty cardboard as well. Sister's friend is lesbo who thirsts after sister but will give into urges for MC. Cafeteria lead is stereotypical flirtatious slut. Cafeteria helper is stereotypical shy angry girl who snaps at any attempt to socialize with her. Other characters follow very obvious tropes. They feel like there was no real personality in them other than the trope they're filling in for. They don't feel like real characters who feel. They really need work

So far the only character that seems promising is the storeroom guy and purely because he's there for comic relief.

Things seem very linear so far and not in a good way. You just keep going to the next spot the questline tells you to go to and then progress in that scene. There's really not much input. No dialogue choices to lead to alternative results. Just a slideshow really. It can work that way, but there needs to be a lot of other content to make up for it

I'd give this a 2.5/5 if I could so I guess 3/5 is as close to it as I can get. I see promise, but it needs work. Characters really need to be redone as they're very bland and just fill in tropes. Outside the vault really needs som content. There should be more to do in the vault than go to rooms to talk

This is a parody on Fallout and so far the only real things that feel like Fallout are the idea that you're underground and the idea that the world above is a wasteland, neither of which actually feel like they are factors in this. If you took out the obvious FO paintjob, this would feel like some random bunker and it doesn't even feel like a bunker most of the time. Just feels like a building you live in. I'm not too sure how it can be made to feel a bit more immersive, but I think something should be attempted to make it feel more real

There really needs to be more FO content in this or it just doesn't feel like FO. Bring in some loved FO characters, outfits, weapons, enemies. The world of FO is very varied. Add towns out in the wasteland that you can visit. Like send the player to Megaton for some rustic scavengers to talk with, fuck, and do quests with. Add Paradise Falls as that will enable some darker and optional tones to the game like slavery and rape. Add in Goodneighbor so there's bars, ghouls, and entertainment. Like, a bar scene could enable randomized encounters for both sex scenes and interactions. Add in the Institute so players can craft their own companion(s) for combat or sex. Add in New Vegas so players can gamble and meet Mojave characters. Add in even madeup places for mutants, robots, aliens, creatures, etc. I don't think people would really care if all these characters and places would mix in despite being years and states apart, it's just for fun

Also, something needs to be done about the music. That song is nice, but hearing that over and over again is rough. Toss in some others to spice it up
