Bare Boob Brawlerz Visual Novel: Vol 1 is a collection of three games centered on characters from the BBB universe.

Gameplay
Choose one of three game modes; “visual novel” is your basic, linear story with no player agency; “Sci-fi Lapdance” is a collection of customization sex scenes; and “Bonus Brawl” is a poor man’s beat ’em up/fighter game with awful navigation and sticky controls.

Story
In the world of Bare Boobs Brawlers, men are absolute degenerates and lieing scumbags, and women are the best creatures that have graced the world. You know, given the sexual exploitation the adult industry puts women through, I think we oughta throw ’em a bone.

So uh, death to men (except for that one brooding guy in chapter seven!)


Vestal waits on the shores of Jali. She is approached by a shadowy figure, who seeks her mother Kayori. She passed away, leaving Vestal to take her place. The figure escorts her to her submarine, where they sail to Glwtwn. There, they exchange fish to append their travel funds.

To my understanding, the remainder of the story involves the adventures of the figure, and her newfound servant Vestal.

Visuals
The titlescreen was boring, but serviceable. I didn’t appreciate the off-centered text, but the user-interface as a whole is stylish. You may select a variety of game modes from the main menu, but I could not spot any “options” or “settings” — this is unacceptable. The mouse cursor is disabled, which is a minor nuisance. Having a mouse cursor would have dramatically increased the ease of navigation between menus.

- The Goods-
Sex scenes are sprinkled within chapters of the visual novel. They look pretty alight, and consist of static CGs. They include some. . . kinky scenes that I’ll admit were right up my ally. The user-interface is hidden by default, making them the best sexy stuff this game has to offer. I wish more effort was put into the anime content and visual novel; had it been, I think the sexual production value could have been bonkers! Expect female-on-female and male-on-female sexual content.

Verdict
I find it difficult to recommend this game; but at the same time, I almost feel bad. There is a ton of love and content in Bare Boob Brawlerz Visual Novel: Vol 1. While I found the story to be grossly overwhelming, I could tell that there is more than meets the eye. I think this game would most appeal to pre-existing fans of the Bare Boobs Brawlerz universe. This game is too rough around the edges for my taste; however, if you’re interested in this game, I think that it is reasonably priced, especially when it goes on sale.

Heyo! I take my reviews very seriously; this title has been on "to do" list for a while now. I haven't had a chance to complete the story, but I do intend on going through it again. As I mention in my articles, I find the writing to be difficult to keep up with. Developers are artists, and artists improve by criticism; I try to provide lengthy articles to help Devs improve.

I hope you do garner the funds you need for Volume 2. I understand the struggle of being a one-person team; I may not write games, but I am a full time content creator.

Hey! Thanks for reviewing the game with a serious eye, I linked the review on the store page. As my first VN, I am extra on alert for feedback on the app. Just a couple notes, the universe is definitely not death to men and the dialogue leads on to ask where 'dey at doh?' Am I also hoping to generate enough revenue with this title to hire help with illustrations for Vol 2, this was quite the work load for one dude lol. Thanks again! :)
