Porn Game Review: Summertime Saga
Written by Rastafoo69, edited by Otaku Apologist
Summertime Saga, an erotic visual novel developed by Kompas Productions. Released on August 25, 2016. For PC Windows, Mac OS, and Android. No voice acting. Uncensored genitals. Download for free.
You’re an average high school student trying to live his life. A part time job, a date for the dance, you have some pretty simple desires. Enjoy your time in high school, and maybe you’ll finally lose your virginity!
This review is for version 0.18.6 of the game for PC Windows. All information is subject to change with future updates.
STORY
Your father had a huge gambling problem and has mysteriously died. Your mother is struggling to pay off the debts. Your sister lost her job. And you are failing at school. There are a lot of problems you need to solve.
The game does not have a strong story. Instead, each character has a unique plot-line that you complete over time. Your sister wants to be a camgirl, your mother wants help around the house, and your teachers want to offer you some “after school tutoring”. None of these stories will move your heart, but they’re sure to move your dick!
The storylines and plot developments of this game are decided largely by fan input. This means that even terrible or boring ideas have the chance to be written into the game. So there is a high chance you’ll come across one or two story-lines that you simply don’t care about and will have to skip through. Many aspects of the story are pure easter eggs and cameos. The town mayor is a Trump parody named “Rump”, and a worker at the Mall named “Kim” looks just like the dictator of North Korea.
GAMEPLAY
Summertime Saga pulls gameplay features from many genres. There’s kinetic novel segments, dating sim segments, and point and click adventure shenanigans.
Most of the game is pure dialogue. Choices are minimal and inconsequential. Minigames are available to break up the monotony, but most of them get very boring over time. Hopefully this will be fixed in future updates.
The developers have added in many areas to the game that have absolutely no content. These place holder locations are nice, but they get annoying over time. It seems like every interesting storyline is stuck in development hell.
Player enjoyment may largely depend on your gaming platform. For example, if you only play an hour a day on mobile devices, this game will surely be a lot of fun. But as a PC title, the gameplay needs improvement.
GRAPHICS
The visuals are simplistic, cartoonish, and very well made. All visual assets in this game are original to the developer, creating a fresh and exciting experience for new players.
There are thousands of art pieces and variation images. The huge variety and volume of art is incredible. Many of these scenes are fully animated as well, including x-ray mechanics that allow you to see your cum fill up a girl’s womb.
Every location has a unique background and every character has a distinct design. The library, the basketball court, the computer lab, every single location looks good. And every character is totally unique and likable.
There is still room for improvement, but most of the visuals are absolutely perfect. In particular, the pizza delivery minigame is a simple panning image with no real animation. Fixing that would be a great step towards making this game more immersive.
VOICE ACTING AND SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)
Summertime Saga has no voice acting.
Sound effects are limited and very uncommon. Sex scenes are very quiet. As a visual novel, there are very few action scenes, so opportunities for sound effects are scarce. Maybe a later update will add more, but right now, there are very few.
MUSIC
A handful of music tracks play throughout the game. One song in particular dominates. It’s a song with string instruments that are difficult to identify. It evokes no emotions, it’s basically elevator music. Outside of that one track, the game is completely silent. There are some atmospheric tracks like the sounds of cars and birds chirping.
HENTAI
With thousands of images and hundreds of animations, there is a lot to be seen! With 28 girls in total, the large variety of sex partners are sure to keep you pleased.
There are tons of foreplay scenes and lots of build up before you actually have sex. You can even impregnate your totally non-related older stepsister! Players can choose if they want to cum inside or outside a girl. You can also choose how quickly you cum!
Although SummerTime Saga remains as the highest earning game on Patreon, their position is slipping! Over the past month they’ve lost a thousand patrons and two thousand dollars in revenue. The developers cannot go hardcore into incest. But if they abandon that fetish, the fans will abandon the patreon. Its a tough spot to be in!
The developers are currently adding plot lines that feature interracial sex and religious women. The problem is, there isn’t foreplay and build up like before. The pure virgin christian girl just gives up her virginity!
CONCLUDING WORDS
Summertime Saga is one of the biggest Patreon porn games around. With over ten hours of content and hundreds of animations, it’s clear why this game is so popular. If you love porn with a plot, this game is a must-play. The game was funded by Patreon supporters and is free for anybody with access to a computer and internet connection.
Download Summertime Saga. You can support the developer on Patreon.

This game and Good Girl Gone Bad by Eva Kiss are two excellent Western eroges. I’ve been playing Summertime Saga all week, and though the sex scenes are short, the pure variety of tang is fantastic. I think they added too many routes, and should have cut them in half and focused on expanding the best ones. So far I like Jenny, Debbie, and Roxxy the best. The animations are great. Sadly, there are no sex sounds.
I think Good Girl Gone Bad outclasses this one though, the sheer amount of content in that game is amazing, and the illustrations and dialogue are top notch.
While I do enjoy Good Girl Gone Bad, its routes are mutably exclusive, as opposed to Summertime Saga, which allows for you to try every gal
I just played through Summertime Saga, and what an experience! I think my favorite scene was the beach threesome. It’ll probably take another year or two to finish. I think it will be a huge hit, as well as GGGB. I’ve been surprised by some American eroge titles.
