60 of 117 · most liked firstIt's like L.A. Noire but made by weebs with a gender bender fetish. Highly recommended
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought that this was going to be a silly game with gender swapping, but I’m glad I was (partially) wrong. Yes, there’s a lot of fan service, but honestly, Max’s Big Bust is a good visual novel. You solve mysteries and you can romance one of the other characters (women and men), and the dialogue between the characters is pretty funny some times. I liked the fact that the game makes fun of itself; not in a tiring way that at some point you get annoyed (at least in my opinion), but in a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you, like me, brought this game for the lewdness, turn back. It's another of these 'lewd' games where the characters look more naked under clothes than actually nude due to pointless censorship. And there's no patch or dlc available to amend this. Reason it's pointless is because most scenes have most girls scantily clad and leave little to the imagination. The censorship style in the 'nude' scenes seems to cover up MORE than this, and it's just silly. Nude bodies: censor on sight think of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a cute visual novel. I use that term advisedly, because that's what it is. It's not a game, per se. It's a story with a set beginning and a largely concrete end. There are puzzles, and objectives, but it's only a question of doing them well or doing them poorly. You can't skip them. So, what's here that's worth your time? The art is quite good. I understand it may not be to everyone's tastes, but I enjoyed the artistic direction of the project. The writing is excellent, though slightly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6 hours of gameplay so far and it's still in development? Wow, I sure feel that I got what I paid for! So after running the game from beginning to the current end, I have to say that I am not disappointed at all! The plot (scroll down to my review below to avoid spoilers) The plot is apparently set in the near-future, where it's been popular with transformation-gas and half human-half animal surgeries and stuff. The technology is quite similar to current, with taser-weapons as regular…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My barely disguised fetish.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprising, thought provoking, and puzzle solving are all played out through this fun title, and that is only the demo for right now. Being a fan of visual novels, I can say that this has a lot of elements there that hook someone into enjoying it. I enjoy the thought of the idea "What if..." throughout the whole process and making it come alive throughout this title is something to enjoy unlike in some other games that lead you into a false sense of choice. Overall, great presentation so far…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story is good but there is no sex or real nudity. If you cane for those you WILL be disappointed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even though it looks like it's just another boob VN, Max's Big Bust actually has a nice amount of content in its bosom. There are a few parts where you actually get to do what can be loosely considered police work, talking to suspects and doing goofy Phoenix Wright-style hijinks to catch criminals, there's a poor imitation of a pet raising game on your phone, and there's even random trivia games placed everywhere they could fit one. The story is pretty good, and the budget seems higher than…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game involving transformations, primarily focusing on guy to girl. Though animal ears and tails are pretty prevalent too. If you dont care for that kind of stuff you should probably just move on, because though there is more than that to this game it is the central theme. The main character is a Police Officer working in an elite unit tasked with taking down a new drug, MinX. Through a bit of stupidity, the character gets turned into a girl. This is a world were people can buy…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Max's Big Bust is a Life Sim/Visual Novel that begs to differ from others. It is just so abundant of contents that compliment each other. The game has well-written events, variety of unique and attractive characters, interactive puzzle and investigation sections, many different locations, diverse routes for relationship choices, and great humors. The progression of the story and the dialogues feel smooth and natural, and the characters' reactions feel understandable and not overly exaggerated…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →doesn´t realy feel like a game, mostly you klick throu endless conversations on which u have no influence, the only choices you can make are with wich person you spend lunchbreakes or a day off. in investigations you have to klick throu all options untill u have all information and its resolved automatically. i was realy excited, but it feels more like you are watching a movie during which you nonstop have to read subtitles.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a good start to a new gender blender game. virtual novel the game does a lot of things right unlike their first game. the story so far is much better written. and they focus this time on one main character. witch is a big plus. as you can get to know the main character max more. there is also an annimation in the game of the main transformation, and looks rather nice. the game character models also look much better then their first attemt in their first game. so far I have no…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the best visual novel i've ever played EVER. The story is VERY good (even though its in development) The art is very good (cg,character sprites,ect) I've never played a visual novel with full motion video cut scenes fully animated The interaction is the best i've ever seen in my life(visual novel wise) you investigate crime scenes, you can actually play on your phone. my virtual pet died :( One thing it lacks, but is made up for in the other feaures is that there is no voice…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay so this is a review as of V4.1, the bugfix version of 4.0. To start off, i'll admit part of the main reason I like this game so much is the theming, I find TG to be very fun, and when big boobs and long hair is involved? You know i'm there. Now, aside from that, my bias aside, this is shaping up to be a very solid game so far, it has the makings of what could be an amazing product easily. It has a ton of diffirent characters already and theres a pretty, admitedly silly, yet deep plot. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros Pretty cute visual novel. Nice art. Fun story. Memorable characters. Hot characters. In depth story. Skip function. LI matters in details. ^^ Cons Anime scenes are scarce. Anime scene quality is not as good as art. More romance scenes with LI. The game is pretty awesome. Just wish there was more... T_T especially the romance scenes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its weird as ♥♥♥♥, but it was a pretty enjoyable time. ethan suxs tho
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've only just started this one and already it has gotten me laughing hard enough to hurt. If you're able, read the words as they come up on screen. Some lines that come out of nowhere will crack you up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most well-developed and well-written Visual Novel-esc games I've played in a long time. It does have a few themes that might turn some off (Gender Bending, People with Animal Ears and Tails, a Slimegirl) but it by no means feels like it's overly-pandering towards that demographic. It takes itself quite maturely, which is refreshing to see when it comes to games in these genera. It is by no means soely a 'choose A or B' game; There are surprisingly enjoyable Detective segments that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From what I have been able to gather this game takes place in Australia. I am beginning to seriously contemplate moving to Australia.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Max big bust has got to be one of the most awsome game this year, it gives us multi choices, unque charicter and some charicters from gender bender, you have to play it, i 110% recommend you get it and play it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very silly, lots of references to aussie stuff.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game out of whim. The entire experience was something i never would guessed. Emotional rollercoaster that started with laughs and chuckles, turning into few "this is cute" moments. Depending on the route you play, there is tons of things i think are great. And things i would rather never wanted to see/read. Overall the story of the game is great aside few points where you are forced to take apart of story-elements that are honestly stomach turning disgusting. But that is just my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was given this game as a sort of deal. My friend and I decided to get each other visual novels because why the heck not. I get them Nekopara Vol 2, and they got me this. Despite the very weird nature of this game, I managed to enjoy this game for all it was worth. I was able laugh at the TG (initials for transgender) elements in the game (it's meant to be funny I swear, they use that joke more than once), able to respect the other modified ladies in the game (bunny girl, fish girl, etc),…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In the interests of not only full disclosure but avoiding the tendency to give out unwitting spoilers, I will say that I have NOT finished this game. I have, however seen enough to get a grip on the story and the way the game plays. I got this game for review exclusively for The Hidden Levels. The Publisher/Developer provided a review key. My opinions are, as always, my own. I'm recommending this, not because it's flawless (it isn't), or that I know the dev (I don't), or even because I think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a great game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This visual novel is great, and I'm recommending it because it is funny and well-written, with very memorable characters, and because ultimately I'm smiling for pretty much the entire time that I'm playing it. For the price, it's absolutely worth it for anyone looking for a fun, raunchy comedy visual novel, especially for those who like stories with gender-bending elements. But I am writing this review not only to recommend the game, but also because aside from my recommendation, I have a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Purchased this game as I saw the sequel had come out and had never played this game. An enjoyable Visual Novel with a lot to unpack. Looking forward to playing the next game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had an issue with the executable and it not launching so I got in contact with Lached Up games and they gave me some of the best customer service I have had in a long time. Before this issue I had beaten this game and I really enjoyed I really recomend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game. Even had tears of joy and sadness at the very end. I wish it had more romantic scenes with your love partner but apart from that - it is really good. There aren't a lot of that impressive visual novels in steam with such amount of work and attention to details. 9/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completely ridiculous. And I love it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked the game X-Change then you will definitly love this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i'd touch the marble
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome story, great humor and nice music. There weren't that many animated cut scenes as I hoped for, but it didn't make the game bad or anything. Some of the characters look quite weird but the game is aware of it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of the best VN i`ve played. keept me guessing as to what was going to happen until the end
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the best visual novel I have ever experienced! Thank you for making such a thoroughly enjoyable game! This game is the gold standard by which all other VNs should be judged. And in time I am sure that it will be. If you are looking for a great interactive experience, then pay full price and support Latched Up Games, because with this kind of attention to detail, quality and substance, they are bound to produce many more incredible games with great story and composition! I look…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very funny and very clever writing. A few glitches noticed on the Brad plot line (Holly delivers your costumes, knows that you are dating, then acts all freaked out at the anime con and asks when we started dating) but still really fun. Can't wait to see more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros Decent story. Likable characters. Nice background beats and intro. Several funny moments. Few detective scenarios. Not to many. Not to much. (Also after first playthrough you don't have to do them again skip option.) Cons Didn't care for the quizzes. Wish their was a skip option.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →oki, few things to clear up first firstly, this vn is expensive, I know it, you know it so what are you getting exactly if you buy it? the answer isn't quality, its length, this vn is particularly long for what it is and whilst I have spent more time on other vns, most of the time, that is entirely because they are padded awfully, this game doesn't do padding, at least not in the typical sense. it can take around 16 hours to finish this and that is 16 hours of actual content and not you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Australia except this time everything is trying to genderbend everyone and almost everyone is literally bisexual. Also the whole ghetto is high as fk. Avoid the game if: 1. You're easily offended 2. You don't like weird gender bender genre 3. You dislike weird comedies 4. You mind about the pepega arstyle (has it reason but is rather based) Try it if 1. You like modern weird ♥♥♥♥ Australia 2. You like Gender bender thing 3. You don't mind about the janky and inconsistent artsyle
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was pleasantly surprised by this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun conceptual visual novel that's largely fanservice in the form of fun / awkward situations, but also manages a fair amount of decent character writing and mystery around a drug war. There's quite a lot of level of effort going into the production - including a large set of character portraits (many VNs wouldn't really bother with giving individual characters so many outfits, especially when each has multiple expressions), not just multiple paths but even occasionally back-referencing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Visual novel with gender bender, monster/animal girls (and a neko-man too!), comedy, aussies (and weird ass aussie english), silly but funny storyline, silly but cool and interesting characters, both gender love interests, great detailed cute character/CG art (different clothes, facial expressions, etc.), anime cutscenes, investigation puzzles, no voice acting and no multiple endings (only multiple routes for love interests, but storyline ending is fixed). If something mentioned above…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally the perfect game for a degenerate like me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: I've played approximately twelve hours or more on this game, but that was on a separate computer so I'm assuming it didn't keep track of it. I became interested in this game to do rpgminx's playthrough of it. After watching her, I knew I had to get my hands on it myself. Buying this is a decision I do not regret. I have not played (nor watched gameplays of) many genderbender games, but this one has lured me in and set the bar for any others I might play in the future. I played all the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, for starters I would say that I have really enjoyed what I have played of this story so far despite the fact that I did end up playing most of it with Offline mode turned on. The reason being offline with it is that I'm pretty sure my friends would be a bit like "What the heck are you playing" or something along those lines. But I digress, for me it has been pretty fun so far and I admit that it was not really what I had been expecting. For starters, there are parts of it where you are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow. I am truly at a loss for words. Of course, it's still in the process of being an amazing game, but it is GLORIOUS as it is right now. I love how it's not just something you read, and then leave it from there. There is ACTUAL thinking involved, as well as a ♥♥♥♥ ton of replayability. For my first Visual Novel, I can say I am really pleased, and definetly recommend this game(If I can accidently stumble upon 25$ in my bank account, so can you!) because it is truly worth every penny. I think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Team Bonnie anyone??? ok.. just me then.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →enjoyable visual novel type game with some detective work elements. is still under development but what has been released has been fun. you too will wonder.....what the heck is up with the Disco Ball
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hello I am pgg1998 and I love this game fully but there is a glitch on the heart meter I have played it for a while and i think it's stuck I keep trying to make it work on ember but it's stuck on nuetral friend and from what I have been able to get her I should have 5 to 6 hearts for her at this point even though it's stuck on 3 but other then that great game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not too bad of a game so far. Personally I'm going to wait until it is fully finished so I can play all the way through a path. Also I hope there might be an option to skip certain sections if you have completed it once, ones that don't really change depending on your path.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still in early access and hours of hilarity already! Not afraid to have a laugh at controversial issues (or itself) or show some skin (or cat ears). You probably don't want to play this at work but it's good humor on a night off.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like it, however i think when max is home and has nothing to do, she need a little more opthions like looking in the mirror comptimplating in thought about being female, taking a scented bath to relax, or touching herself to see what it feels like giving you the option of what to say or think in your head during a conversation or automaticly say that without the option that's just my persional opinoin whatever the creaters deside it's all up to them. ps sorry for any bad spelling it's been a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Coming to this game late after playing Help I'm turning into a mermaid. While the artwork and music are ok, it's the storyline that has me hooked and after playing all the games I just love how the story weaves together and the characters evolve.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Max's Big Bust is the first game in the colloquouly named Axonverse by Lached Up Games. The name alone should give you an idea of what you're in for - a game that isn't afraid to have fun and be silly. We follow the eponimous officer Max and his partner Brad, when the former touches a mysterious yellow marble found at a drug bust and - poof! - girl Max. Queue Max, Brad, and their fellow officers trying to stop the spread of the mysterious drug MinX while Max grapples with all the things you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great buy, haven't finished the game yet but its been great so far
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not normally a fan of visual novels, but this one is charming in its own way.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a decent VN, has its ups and downs and can get quite incoherent/ridiculous but that's part of the charm! (It also has animated cutscenes!!) Also its not explicit so don't expect any of that kind of action
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MAX'S BIG BUST is a magnificent VN! It's a brilliant cross between police work, fantasy and romance, not forgetting that it is also absolutely hilarious throughout. Artwork and BGM are superb, and I LOVED the Australian colloquialisms!!! In summary, don't miss it!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only bad thing I can really say about this game is that there isn't more of it.
