Violated Hero III
The Violated Hero series is onto the 3rd Installment. This time it looks like you get to battle a nine-tailed fox spirit in a Medieval Japan-themed world. The series has always had gorgeous artwork and fully-voiced H-scenes. As with the last game there are fifteen new monster girls to ‘play’ with. Be warned, they like to play rough. The Violated Hero series doesn’t have the same enthusiasm for vore as MGQ, but they do like the classic S&M scenarios, so expect plenty of sadistic femdom taunting and a few ‘ouch, that looks painful’ (the plant girl has thorns there!?) moments.
Gamplay-wise they appear to have ditched the pseudo-3D dungeon crawling in favour of the branching event-chain maps similar to quest mini-games of Lvl1 Hero Breeding Plan. A lot of the tutorial text is embedded in the artwork. This would make working out which stat is which a problem, but thankfully Dargoth has already produced an English patch. Get that from here before playing the game.
I’ll be playing the game over the weekend and will probably throw up a review next week.
Ever Dance With The Devil In The Pale Moonlight
Spillasoft’s follow-up/prequel to their Nymph Principal visual novel. A succubus comes to a man with a challenge to see if he can resist her temptations over the next seven days. The artwork looks like it’s been done by the same person (Nymph Principal was a little all over the place with the differing art styles). The H-scenes seemed a little lacking in sound effects from what I saw.
House of Monster Girls
Hmm, wonder what body part fetish this is targeting. I’ll freely admit to liking a big pair of boobs, but there are limits...
Okay, maybe there aren’t. I still bought the game.
Another visual novel. You find yourself in a spooky mansion inhabited by lusty monster girls. There are five monster girl characters in total (slime girl, alraune, lamia, doll, succubus) each with two scenes. Seems okay from my quick peek, although possibly a little too much text slowing things down.
ROBF
I think this one’s been out for a while. I remember playing the demo a while back. It’s another top-down RPG-maker-type clone. The combat encounters are all sex battles—the only sword the hero gets to use is the one between his legs. Sex combat seemed fairly well done from what I saw, with some animation to liven things up. Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to have made it to the English dlsite, but I might track it down and give it a try at some point in the future.
Violated Fantasy
These dudes work fast. It wasn’t so long ago they put out their first game—Violated Quest. They don’t skimp on the monsterpedia either—the blurb promises 46 different monster girls. The first wasn’t really a game so much as wandering around a top-down map while monster girls jumped out and molested you in largely hopeless fights. The follow-up looks like it has more of a plot and possibly a bigger focus on the RPG elements. I’ll give it a look when I get a chance.
Oh, and if anyone has been itching to play Monster Girl Quest, but can’t be assed to mess around with autotranslators and the like, RogueTranslator has completed the first partial patch.
And, as usual, I'll finish things off with the usual plug. If you like the sound of these games I also have some reading material you might be interested in.
