Features of By Justice or Mercy:

By Justice or Mercy is an adult visual novel where you play as a quiet, quick-tempered, but ambitious young man. Four years after being painted as a murderer, you are on your way home after previously running away. Things are different now though; a burning desire for “Justice” has been lit inside you, and you’ll stop at nothing to take back what they took from you. What will your version of justice look like, though? What methods will you use? And how far will you go?

Player Comments of By Justice or Mercy:

Story and MC: Okay, so here we are with one of the most cliche plots that can happen in porn game. MCs rich father died, company and enemies were inherited, MC isolated himself in a distant college and now he's back wanting revenge. What do you say? You've seen something like that or very similar already? Yeah, so did I. Many times, actually. But I haven't come here for the story, I came for kinks, and yeah, pun was intended. I'm disappointed however, because there's mentioned a "good amount of Netori" (developer notes) and it's not really here. Okay, plot suggests that MC's going to have a lot of netori conquests in future, but with current update it's just one side LI that throws herself on MC (so there's not really much pleasure of corrupting her) and there are only a few scenes with her. MC is shaped by choices. They determine relationships, which version of scene you'll see and how MC is going to act in some cases. Luckily, there aren't many routes, just love/asshole and sub/dom for few LIs and if you miss some scene or want to check other variant, there's unlockable gallery. I like it when choices are mostly to shape MC and paths, so why I colored them as yellow, not green? You see, this game is kind of imbalanced and love path have disadvantage. It's obvious that bad guys have hotter scenes and have sex faster, but good games balance it with romantic dialogues and intimacy. Here as a good guy you just get boring handjob instead of vaginal sex or you just miss more scenes, if you don't want to be a jerk. One warning. Few times MC will kiss LIs just after cumming on/in their mouth and it's unskippable. I know there are people sensitive for this, so if you're one, be prepared.

LIs and relationships: Too many LIs introduced in too fast, means it's almost impossible to say something specific about them. There are students and milfs, different kind of personalities, childish, mature, calm, fiery, etc. but because pacing is very fast, there's no time to know anything about many characters. Sometimes they just throw themselves on MCs dick just after we met their name. It could be forgiven, because everyone needs to play fuckfest sometimes, but these scenes are quite short and boring. Potential here is badly wasted. After sex, later in the game, there's some bonding, but personally I prefer it the other way around - first talk, then fuck. Dialogues with LIs sucks badly at beginning, they feel rushed, just a minute or three per scene then you go for sex or to talk with other LI. It gets better, but you have to go through about half of current content to get some proper conversations, dates and bonding.

Visuals and audio: LIs are diversed with different kind of bodies and faces not similar to characters in other games (at least not these I played). Most of them is pretty, but just pretty, and there are only few gems. As many gems as ugly ones. At first sight that's quite average cast, but thanks to many facial expressions (sometimes too many, but generally it's a plus) and plenty of details, I just have to appreciate work that dev put in preparing characters. Pussies and tits aren't copy-paste. Bodies have veins, freckles, moles and even fat tyres. MILFs aren't smooth like teenagers and many LIs aren't 100% perfect like Barbie dolls from 90s. Animations aren't exceptional, they are fine. At least when there are animations, because some scenes are only slideshows based on several repeatable frames. If it comes to audio, there is... no audio. No music, no sounds, nothing. All game long.

Summary: The beginning is terrible. I don't really like games where LIs throw themselves on MC in very first minutes. That's why I dropped this game about half year ago. Now it was my second attempt, I gave it a chance and it's much better when game progress, but first impression can be made only once. Anyway, to whom can I recommend this? For sure to people who like fuckfests and don't like to wait for sex scenes. I guess it will be must-play title for netori fans, but not yet. It have big potential, developer is improving and updates are frequent, so there's a chance that it will be amazing, if you love this genre. I feel like I should review it with 3 stars, but game is really getting better with each update and I've feeling that soon it's going to be well deserved 4 stars anyway.

Final Thoughts:

By Justice or Mercy Play centers on dialogue and story choices that steer how the protagonist deals with the people around him, from restraint to outright retaliation. Decisions affect relationships with the women in his life, some of whom become allies, lovers, or targets depending on the path taken. The game moves through defined days and scenes rather than an open sandbox, with animated sequences marking key moments.
