    There already has been a lot of comparisons of College Kings to Being a Dik and I can understand why.

Both are visual novels dealing with a college frat theme but there are differences that set them apart. Being a Dik was more focused on the partying aspect but had a rudimentary fighting system while College Kings has some party themes but the frat is more focused on fighting and it has a more in depth real time fighting system that is QTE driven. That being said College Kings could have done more to actually showcase that style as Act 1 had little in the way of fighting although to be fair it is more about setting up the story to come and introducing you to characters. Comparisons aside College Kings was a well done visual novel. There is a good amount of choices you can make; people you can choose to interact with; and some decent lewd scenes. The art is pretty good, about on par with most top tier Ren’Py visual novels with realistic models. The music is decent but a bit repetitive. The sound effects are decent but sporadic. There are times where things you think would have sound effects don’t and others like driving in a car with your mom has a detailed sound effect including shifting of gears. The fight system is great in that you have to keep an eye on your opponents stance and choose the right move to hit them with as well as decide which area to block. I will say that the timer is really short even on easy mode. The fight system is already under utilized though. This is a mechanic that should have set the game apart from similar titles but is only used a few times depending on your choices. You are also able to skip the fights and auto win them if you aren’t a fan of the mechanic. The characters and plot were enjoyable and had a good range. One thing I liked was that unlike some games in this genre you can’t have it all. If you choose to start dating someone who is big on monogamy then don’t be shocked if being a man whore makes her leave you. Most games wouldn’t deal with that issue and just let you have a harem so this was a refreshing bit of logic. The personality stats were a nice touch in the game. You can have one of three personality traits assigned to you based on your choices which will effect how people treat you as well as what options you have with certain people. I would have liked it more if we could toggle to see whether a choice effects a certain trait as well as seeing a tally of our totals.

    I played College Kings on Linux. It never crashed on me and I didn’t notice any spelling issues or bugs. Alt-Tab didn’t work. The game allows you to enable “real life mode” which means no saves allowed during choices if you want a challenge. Otherwise you can manually save whenever you want with it disabled and there are 54 save slots.

    GPU Usage: 0-51 %
    VRAM Usage: 690-1089 MB
    CPU Usage: 2-14 %
    RAM Usage: 2.3-3.1 GB

    Overall this is a solid beginning to this series that makes me want more. It had an enjoyable plot and characters; an interesting fight system; and allows the player a lot of choice of not just dialogue but mechanics as well. The game is free which is great value. I would be happy to pay for future acts. I finished my first play through of Act 1 in 3 hours and 33 minutes.

    My Score: 8.5/10

    one of the many clones of BEING A DIK, but exactly this game is not much worse than BADIK.
    Although this game is a partial copy of DIK, it is still very good, it has its own cool things that the original doesnt have and a lot of advantages over many other clones, a must play if you like BEING A DIK and even if you haven’t played it, just try the good characters, the plot is interesting ,

    Romansidło dla facetów. Same ładne, nietoksyczne dla Ciebie dziewczyny, jest miło, jesteś lubiany, wszyscy Ci ufają, nie odczuwasz przemocy psychicznej, ani presji społecznej.

    Pierwszy, darmowy rozdział jest zaskakująco długi. Kończy się tak, że mamy jakąś tam satysfakcję, ale czuć, że to nie koniec.

    To nie pornos, w którym ruchamy co chwilę wszystko Co się rusza, tylko Visual novel w college'u.
    Granie tylko dla scen seksu nie ma sensu - jest ich sporo, ale nie są aż tak częste. Gra polega głównie na czytaniu dialogów, flirtowaniu i podejmowaniu decyzji wpływających na wydarzenia i charakter bohatera.

    Graficznie to pokaz slajdów, z od czasu do czasu animowanymi scenami seksu. Tła mają przestarzałą grafikę, a postacie wyglądają nawet nieźle - jak lalki, trochę creepy, z dziwacznie nienaturalnymi zębami.

    Nawet jest tu ubogi system walki turowej, oparty na 4 rodzajach ciosów i 4 pozycjach obronnych. Atakujemy to co odsłonięte, a zasłaniamy miejsce które jest atakowane. Walk mamy tylko kilka.

    Greta visual interactive novel, with really interesting and not banal screenplay and excellent dialogues, so rare for this kind of videogame. And, last but not least, really great graphics, so accurate and realistico!

    This game is much more interesting that it seems. Decisions with consequences, a "trait system" that works perfectly and a light but long story with a lot of funny/erotic/sexual moments very rewarding and very well made. Also the renders and graphics are surprisingly good. A 9/10 without a doubt.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 8.5/10 The story looks like it’ll be interesting but you can’t customize the main character. My only drawback right now.
