High-Rise Climb

There are so many different fantasies as people in the world, that gives adult game developers a lot of source material to work on. Have you ever imagined what would happen if you were to take the role of an executive or a manager, but instead of just doing your management job like in Football Manager 2020, you get to use your power for something more “personal”? Well, then you’re probably part of the target of High-RIse CLimb, but is it a game that you’ll enjoy?

Getting to the top

Getting to the top of the executive work field isn't something easy, but in High-Rise Climb, you play as a financial trader that gains super-intelligence, and you can choose more than one way to use your powers.

Sure this means that High-Rise Climb isn't only an adult game with sex scenes and all that, but it's also a dating sim and a management sim. But when there are three things mixed up like that. On top of the basic visual novel style, most of these games tend to have as a base, you're starting to juggle with a lot of things already.

Appealing to fantasies

As I mentioned before, these games are made to fulfill all kinds of fantasies and this one right here actually goes after a pretty popular one. The fantasy of power, being in a high position, having a ton of money, and even the corporate environment sex encounters. There are a lot of fantasies that High-Climb Rise tries to fulfill, but once again, maybe it's juggling with way too many things at once. There are a lot of women in this game, and you'll have to use your abilities and work your influence to get what you want.

Work hard

There’s a heavy element of gameplay involved in High-Rise CLimb, and this means you should expect to work a lot to get to play. And there’s also different stats you need to take care of, so you’ll have to keep in mind a lot of info when you’re playing the game. And these stats are for each individual character relationship, so it’s not like just leveling up your character, is more like leveling up every character.

An odd-experience

The gameplay is pretty strange since there are so many stats, characters, and even quests, you'll have to keep track of all this. But it's really interesting to see how they implemented so many mechanics into what would otherwise be a simple adult game.

It's an interesting concept, but the game falls apart when juggling with so many things at the same time. There are way too many mechanics and stats to keep in mind, and there are a lot of quests in there too. The mechanics are boring and you'll need to do a lot of grinding, so this makes it more repetitive and annoying. There are a lot of characters, but with all of them having stats to level up and keep up, it becomes too troublesome to build relationships.

Pros

• Interesting mechanics
• Nice renders
• A lot of characters

Cons

• Too many stuff to take care of without any help in the game
• Too much grinding
• Boring and repetitive
• Unfinished game
• Overall flat

The thing with a game like High-Rise Climb is that it has been around for years and the progress is very slow. Thankfully, I just found out about this game and this is the first time I have played it so it is pretty stacked with content and there is a lot to keep you busy. It is more of a corruption style of lewd game than anything else as it is about having power and the potential to abuse that power. I will say that the modern kind of setting that the game had was kind of cool and it was pretty easy to put myself in the shoes of the main character.

With Absolute Power…

The story of High-Rise Climb is something that I did quite enjoy. We play as a man called Byron and Byron works in the world of finance as an analyst. Byron has hit a rocky patch, but he now has the chance to climb that corporate ladder and become a very powerful and wealthy man. The “gimmick” here is that we can decide how Byron will use the power and influence that he gains during the story. Will he be a good guy and help others, or will he use his power and influence to just get what he wants and who he wants?

Taking It All

Now, I found that as I was playing through High-Rise Climb, it felt like I was supposed to play as this high flying asshole who just took what he wanted and that was how I played it. There are some very interesting character dynamics here like the drunk girlfriend with the hot sister that you cannot help keep your hands off. There are many different women in the game and I liked how most of them did not just drop their panties the moment you spoke to them, there was a bit of work required by you to make them yours and that was something I dug. I do wish that there was a more clear option for playing as not an asshole who wants to bang any chick that moves as I could not figure out how to get on that route.

A Few Extra Clicks

As I was playing through High-Rise Climb I kept wondering if this was ever supposed to be a standard lewd visual novel. I say this because the gameplay is quite simple and the majority of what pushes the story forward are the choices you make. You need to make money and there is also some “work” that you need to do, but this is all so easily done that it may as not well be there. Although, I will take the quick way you make money in this game over unnecessary grinding any day that is for sure. The gameplay here is not bad at all, but as I said before, I do wish that they made it a little clearer when it came to the choices you make as I could not figure out at all how to not be an asshole kind of character.

The Finer Things In Life

As Byron is this big time finance guy, High-Rise Climb is a game that features the most beautiful stunning women you can imagine. These ladies have amazing bodies with nice large boobs, perfect legs, and just curves in all the right places. Even Byron and the other guys we see are easy on the eyes and while everyone looks perfect, the developer resisted the temptation to have the guys hung like crazy. The quality of the XXX scenes is fantastic and I think that they do a great job of making you feel like you are in this world. My only complaint with the visuals was how sometimes the text as it was white could be hard to read on certain backgrounds and I could not see anyway to change the color of the text.

Pros:

• It was fun playing as a rich asshole
• There are a great selection of ladies to have fun with
• I liked that there was hardly any grinding in the game
• The connections with the characters were very well done

Cons:

• I do wish that the more “nicer” route was easier to get to
• Some of the text was hard to read
