Lust Academy - Season 1

good

It's like Harry Potter but everyone is so damn horny

Interesting, and Harry Potter-esq; has potential. I'm not sure if this game is trying to be a harem game, but none of the girls seems to be aware that you can freely be with all of them.

My overall rating: [b]4.8/10[/b] Animation duration: 4/10 Animation visual quality: 8/10 Choice impact: 2/10 Dialogue: 3/10 Gameplay time: 10/10 Level design: 7/10 Main Character's behavior: 4/10 Models: 7/10 Music: 3/10 Story: 3/10 Sounds: 2/10 This review is based off the "Story" and not the "Sandbox" since I felt like a first play would be better being guided a bit more. The story didn't hook me enough to want and play it again in "Sandbox". I can't say it's a really bad game, but it's also not really good. I'll break it down shortly at first and with more depth for those that wants more details. [h1]Short review[/h1] Where can I start with this game ... The story has zero substance nor any twist. Nothing's really "hidden". There's no "trying to seduce the girls" in the game they all just fall for you without any of your decision. The MC gives weird vibes which I'll cover in the long review. This is just a sexual copy of Harry Potter if you remove the twists. They even put Hermione in the game as Mrs Ranger ... I can't really recommend that game, but if you just want a boring sexual copy of Harry Potter, with a creepy MC, that game is for you. [h1]Long review[/h1] Like I said, this game is just a boring AVN attemp of hogwarts legacy. You can see the story unfolding in front of you and all the guess you'll make will be right. No spice, no twist. What I'll give to this game is that they did create a universe that could have been really interesting if there was a bit more work on the story and dialogues. A bit of work is an understement, since the dialogue is weak at best. The models are not too shabby, and the body physics in the animations are well done. Let me give more details on all the categories I mentionned. [h3]Animation duration & quality[/h3] The animations and the physics of the body are good. The quantity are low and the durations are short. You'll get the one motions with multiple angles. You'll get maybe three motions per scene and that's it. The game would have been better with more scenes. [h3]Choices[/h3] You don't really have that many choices from the game. For the gameplay durations the choices are in low quatity and they honestly don't change much. You might get 2 extra slides if you pick one vs the other. Might have a different reaction. Or than that you have the options to have sex with the girls or not. [h3]Dialogues[/h3] The dialogue could used a lot of work. The dialogue is what set the universe and the story. So not giving this category any love is probably the worse thing to do. If you have a bad dialogue with a weak story, you end up with a pretty bad AVN. Most of the time the interactions are normal, but there's a lot of moments where there's no flow in the interactions. There's even moment where the interactions makes no sense. I had to go back and forth to try to understand what they were even saying and gave up and just kept going with the game. There's a lot of inconsistancy in the dialogue as well. MC will react surprised to things he says he doesn't know, but there was conversations where he did learn about it. Ex: Girl: "Be gentle it's my fisrt time" MC: *Penetrates her* *Surprised that there's blood* "Oh yeah I forgot that it was her first time" Those small details in the dialogue makes me question if it was written by someone or AI. [h3]Gameplay time[/h3] The gameplay time is probably one the only good thing I can say about this game. The lenght is pretty good. You get a good amount of hours for your money. [h3]Level design[/h3] Good amount of area where unique to this game. There's a certain amount that have been used in a lot of other AVN, but nothing too surprising nor bad in itself. It's just nice to see a game using unique environements. My only problem is that a lot of frames are recycled. I normally don't see a problem with that, but in this game it's a bit too much. Everyone wears the same clothing all the time. If someone walks out of the room, they are still visible in the "room frame". It's a bit sloppy. [h3]Main Character's behavior[/h3] He's super pushy and manipulative with the woman. He's also super selfish in his actions. He'll say he'll do something for a girl, but it's more for him than the girl. The one attempt of dirty talk didn't have any reason to be there and just felt disrespectful. He calls all the girls "baby" when he's trying to be "charming" even tho he just met them. He gives me the "ick". There's multiple scenes where he says to a girl "I'll stop when you tell me" while being intimate, but doesn't stop. He only stops when the girl remind him that he said he'd stop when they say so. He then say "You are right, I did say that". it's not a good look. It feels rappey adjacent. I didn't like that. [h3]Models[/h3] The models are good looking but they always wear the same clothing. There's not alternations. There's some times when MC takes the girl in a date where they'd wear something different. Once the date is over, back to that one piece of chlothing. That kind of goes back to the "Frame recycling" that I've mentionned in the level desing section. Same poses and same clothing. All the time. [h3]Music[/h3] I actually quite like the music in the game, but unfortunately it doesn't fit the mood of the scenes. It's a nice relaxing music, but it doesn't really set the mood of "I'm doing potions/learning spells in a school for wizards". Or it can be the other way around and you have a music fitting for a battle scene in a coffee shop. [h3]Story[/h3] They give you the option with "Sandbox" and "Story" which is the same story/game. "Sandbox" gives you the chances to roam around and a bit more freedom with how you want to play the game. While "Story" is a straight foward story that you just sit down and listen without any real decision from you. With that out of the way. The story could have been good if it was a bit more thorough. There's nothing wrong with inspiring yourself from other works ... but make it a bit more subtle. I get that it's hard to make a school for wizard unique after Harry Potter, but there's ways to make it your own. The story failed in that aspect. Even the "suspicious" teacher was even in love with the mother's MC... come on. There's also a lot of discrepancy in the story line. Ex: Noami needs help getting back in the good grace of the potion brewing teacher and ask MC to help with tutoring. MC shows her how to make a certain potion. They both let it boil to have sex somewhere else. After that they both just abandon the potion still boiling while they both say "What's the worse that could happen? I'm sure someone will find it." How is that helping Naomi in any way? She didn't finish the potion and then just let it there for someone else to find? That would probably just make the teacher mad at her and the MC if she'd find out. That's only one exemple, but there's a good amount of moments like that in the game and it removes a lot to it. Like I said earlier, a good AVN is all about Story and Dialogues ... and this game lacked the attention to both category. [h3]Sounds[/h3] I think the sounds added to the game weren't needed. Some of them are maxed out on volume even if you have sounds and music low. There's moanings, but single one and repeated, no alternations. All the sounds are in low quatity and quality. There's also a loud "Playstation 2 booting" imitation sound when you meet a new character, it's just not great all around. [h3]In conclusion[/h3] The only thing that makes this game somewhere enjoyable is that they took the time to create a decent amount of unique scene that aren't use in other AVN. The mini games are a nice touch, but after two times they get boring. If you're hesitant about buying this game, skip it, you won't be missing much. If you do want to play it, keep your expectation low and you might find a way to enjoy it.

第一季完全不值得这个价，我建议直接从第二季开始玩

[h1]Toxic Reviews: Lust Academy Season 1 – Magic, Mystery, and New Beginnings[/h1] This is [b]Toxic Reviews[/b], where I only review the games that are good enough to compel me to write one. [b]Lust Academy - Season 1[/b] is the ultimate "second chance" story. Your life is headed nowhere after a career-ending injury, right up until that acceptance letter to Cordale Academy changes everything. It’s a polished, magical experience that proves the "wizard school" trope still has plenty of life in it. [h2]Gameplay: Classic Point-and-Click with a Twist[/h2] The game sticks to a very accessible [b]point-and-click style[/b], but it adds layers with minigames like alchemy, spell-casting, and the Dueling Club. These mechanics make the school setting feel functional rather than just a background. As someone who appreciates a good hunt for [b]special scenes and achievements[/b], I found the "Lustagram" and "Lost Foliants" mechanics added a nice layer of exploration to the campus. [h2]Visuals: Clean, Bright, and Enchanting[/h2] The art direction here is fantastic. The renders are bright and high-quality, fitting the "magical academy" vibe perfectly. Unlike some grittier AVNs, Lust Academy has a sense of wonder in its world-building. The character models for girls like Hayley and Lily are distinct and well-rendered, making the [b]9/10[/b] visual score well-deserved. [h2]The Story: Establishing the Legend[/h2] Since this is Season 1, there is a lot of world-building and character introduction. The narrative does a great job of making you feel like a novice slowly gaining power. While the choices in Season 1 feel a bit more linear compared to later seasons, the "House" system (Leonheart vs. Adderin) adds a nice competitive edge to your daily routine. It’s an engaging [b]8/10[/b] start to a much larger adventure. [h2]Final Thoughts[/h2] [b]Lust Academy[/b] succeeds because it makes you actually want to be a student at Cordale. It balances the "school life" mechanics with the adult content seamlessly. If you’re looking for a polished, story-driven magic adventure with great replay value for achievement hunters, this is [b]Toxic Approved.[/b] [b]Toxic Scorecard:[/b] [list] [] [b]Visuals:[/b] 9/10 [] [b]Story:[/b] 8/10 [] [b]World Building:[/b] 9/10 [] [b]Verdict:[/b] [b]TOXIC APPROVED[/b] [/list]

One of the best entries in the genre, at least for this first season. But with one or two larger flaws. Graphics are high-quality, but what makes this stand out is that, well, it's actually a game. There are mini-games, like BaD or College Kings. And like BaD, there are collectibles to find in free-roam. And there's an over-arcing competition between the houses each week. So, there's more than just running around to progress relationships. Sandbox mode is essentially the only way to play, IMO. Interestingly, there is a typical visual-novel mode, too, but I'm not sure why that would be more fun than trying to play the way I prefer, especially when most other games of the genre have already run the on-rails visual-novel mode into the ground. And beyond all of that, the game has plenty of in-jokes and references to high-fantasy (obviously with a focus on Harry Potter). There are definitely a few rough spots, however. Right away, the game is riddled with typos. The main thing I noticed in just the first fifteen minutes is how frequently articles (like 'a' or 'the') are missing. While hardly a deal-breaker, the proof-reading is quite poor, though everything thus far has been intelligible. But then there are the bigger issues. For one, there's no real narrative choice at times, even though the narrative builds as though you might have one. Sometimes, there's literally no choice (you don't get to choose your magical house, even though it seems like you might be able to). Other times, all choices lead to the same result. On the train during the prologue, there's an option to 'help her' or 'enjoy the view', which seems to be a choice between honorable or lewd as Hermoine... er, Haley Ranger, tries to pack her things away. So I choose to help like a good guy. But no... I help her but end up rubbing up against her, apparently. Illusion of choice, at times. Which leads into another problem: while the other characters are written acceptably enough for this genre, the main character (MC) is all over the board. Is he a creep? Is he a gentleman? It seems to change every fifteen minutes, which would be okay-ish if I was choosing to vacillate like that, but no, it's often in dialogue that I have no control over that it's now time for something completely different. For the genre, though, this is a high-level game. It's graphically solid, and it preserves the high-fantasy tone fairly well (which is impressive, because this genre is well-known for reusing pre-made assets like a modern college building, a city block, a mall, etc.). It also *is* a game, with something to do other than read. BaD is still the best, as the writing there is the closest to plausible for a AVN, and that game has true narrative choice with branching paths. But Lust Academy is not that far behind, hindered mostly just by lack of narrative choice and a mediocre-ish MC.

有翻译奇怪和名字无翻译记不住的问题，话说你们找到房间里的鸭子了吗，我就差这个成就了

very good

I did not care for it. Controls don't work (can't skip when you want). I almost wore out my control key before I realized it was useless, Which really sucks because the dialogue is boring (I started over three times trying to catch some "hook" before I just gave up and deleted). Character designs look deformed, choices are not engaging and feel like they don't matter. There are just so many better choices.
