Let's Play Violated Hero 4! part 4
This is part 4 of my Violated Hero 4 walkthrough. The game is a sexually explicit eroge, so if you’re offended by such things or under the age of 18 please depart now.
Last off Luka-clone met a milky (and relatively mild by VH standards) Bad End at the substantial mammaries of Busty, the Queen of the Cow Girls. For the rematch I let Lilith loose and Miss Super-Endowed goes down in two hits. (Hey creator dudes, is this attack supposed to be this powerful?)
After Busty falls, Luka-clone goes to her aid and promptly gets his face shoved into her tits, because the heroes of this type of game and contractually obliged to be naive morons. Lilith yanks him out and Busty is added to the inevitable harem scene that waits at the end of the game.
Over in the Demon King castle they notice that an area has fallen. Sharia doesn’t really care because she’s bored and wants some excitement. (Luka-clone is going to be such a disappointment to her when we finally stumble our way to the castle).
Anyway, the second area is now unlocked, but before heading off into what looks like a rock-themed area it’s back to the spooky forest to 100% the 3rd subsection. During this time I try out Busty’s special attack. She sprays milk at the enemy. Marvellous.
And now off to the second area.
Which only seems to have 2 subsections.
A new area means new random mooks and . . .
. . . hey, she isn’t bad. I don’t think there is a harpy boss in VH4, so that’s your lot harpy lovers I’m afraid.
After she dodges both Igin’s and Lorre’s attacks I switch to Luka-clone and – shock horror – he actually wins one. There’s hope for the lad yet.
I follow the path to the end (unerringly finding the trap tile, again) and boss number 4. A rumble like an earthquake and . . .
. . . WTF Violated Hero 4! That would appear to be a Giant Sandworm with a Slime Girl for a tongue.
Somewhere in Japan:
“Hello, this is Kenkou Cross and I’d like to speak to my lawyer.”
I’d like to give the VH team some marks for originality for this one, but it’s clearly the Sandworm from Kenkou Cross’s Monster Girl Encyclopaedia. Admittedly, I don’t know whether KC came up with it himself or it’s a common monster type from somewhere else. I thought the Girtablilu (scorpion girl) was original until I looked it up and found out it’s a creature from Akkadian myth. Anyway, kudos to whoever came up with it. It’s a good monster design.
(I think I might pinch it for one of my stories as well)
Back to the battle. Her/its name is Karina.
This is going to go all vore-y, isn’t it.
Sorry, Luka-clone buddy, you’re taking one for the team in the interests of journalism. I hang around long enough to see what Karina’s sex attack is – it’s a blue version of the mucus attack used by the green slime girl maid from VH3 – and then it’s fingers in front of eyes time. What nightmares of squick are you going to show me this time, Violated Hero?
It’s going to be vore-y.
Uh oh. She seems awfully keen on our screams of pain. That’s never a good start.
In the mouth, all wrapped up in tentacles.
Well I suppose if the tentacles only have a good suck there then it’s not so bad.
Yeah, they were never going to just go there. Not in Violated Hero. Alas poor Luka-clone, doomed to make up for every tentacled hentai girl ever.
Euww.
Violated Hero, you do know that the average human small intestine is around 7 metres long. For a tentacle to come out of there means very bad (and likely terminal) things for Luka-clone’s insides. Oh wait, I forget, he’s just an ambulatory bag of concentrated semen shaped to look like a man.
And . . . gulp.
Told you it was going to get vore-y.
And you know that vore-off switch MGQ had . . . haha, Violated Hero laughs at your desire to shield yourself from the really icky things. So now it’s straight to the belly of the worm with Karina on top of us. I still haven’t worked out whether the worm is her outer shell, she’s a tongue or other digestive organ of the worm, or they’re some kind of symbiotic organism.
It’s not too bad. It’s sort of hot and bondage-y, but with the hands and feet buried in flesh rather than being tied to the bedposts.
And now it’s describing how our hands and feet are being slowly dissolved and we can’t feel them anymore. Uh . . . nice?
And her pussy feels a little hot. And her tongue burns our mouth and throat.
Uh dude, I think that might be stomach acid.
At least Karina seems determined to let us go out with a bang as she furiously humps us. I’d say it’s hawt, but I think that might be burns from the stomach acid.
Oh, she’ll keep us alive as long as we keep hard and ejaculating. Come on, Luka-clone, you can do it. Be a brave little trooper.
(poor bastard is done for)
Gurgle, gurgle. Fade to black. Melt.
And some time later a sorry little bundle of bones is excreted out of the other end.
I quite liked that scene, but then I would.
In the MEHydra vs VH battle of the icks I have this tale of sandworms, sex and squick. A valiant attempt but the judges comprehensively score this one to VH.
Totally yoinking that creature design for one of my stories. The little black cells are fired up by the possibilities.
That’ll do for part four. Come back next time when a worm is turned.

Let's Play Violated Hero 4! part 3
This is part 3 of my walkthrough of Violated Hero 4. This is a sexually explicit eroge where a masochist hero falls foul of a variety of imaginative femdom monster girls. If you’re likely to be offended by such things or under the age of 18 please leave now.
Right, last off Luka-clone met a very prickly end (ow ow) at the thorns of the Alraune boss, Lorre. In the rematch I remember I have Lilith and Igin with me and after a facial for each (that move seems a little overpowered) Lorre is smacked back down into the dirt.
I think Lorre might be a crazy psycho-bitch stalker, but Luka-clone lets her join the party anyway. Even after she tells him she’s only doing it so she can lure him away from the others and ‘drown’ him in her. Are you sure we should let her in, Luka-clone?
And then . . .
I thought we were in spooky wood.
Oh this is a town for monsters. Humans can only enter if they’re the designated slave of a monster girl. Lilith suggests Luka-clone pretend to be her slave. Based on Luka-clone’s performance in combat so far I don’t think there’s much pretence about it.
Hey, Lilith, about that hotel room . . .
Well that’s one recurring joke nipped in the bud. It’s like the game read my mind.
And . . .
Cue random hilarity as my auto-translator tells me “A smell of the Japanese spaniel refuse drifts angrily just to bring a face close.” Is that a sex thing?
Lilith does her glowing eye thing again and Luka-clone comes all over the place without her even touching him. Don’t worry lad, you’ll grow out of it. Then she takes pity on us and slurps up our cock with her tail. A good succubus always knows plenty of tricks with her tail.
Luka-clone spurts until he loses consciousness. Guess that makes the slave thing official then. By VH standards this is probably rated as one of the ‘normal’ scenes.
In the morning Lilith asks Luka-clone if he’d like to be ‘squeezed’ by other, more intimate parts of her body. Luka-clone defiantly refuses. I slap him around a lot for being an idiot, but sadly the game doesn’t give me an option to overrule him, so it’s back to the spooky wood.
I run through the alternate path of area 1-2 and find the route that doesn’t have the trap. I’m still missing one of the random mooks, but as it’s just a palette swap of the frog rider girl and I’m still sulking about missing out on being squeezed by Lilith’s intimate bits, I ignore it and carry on to area 1-3. Luka-clone still doesn’t seem in the remotest bit likely to kill anything with his sword attack.
First runthrough of area 1-3 and I manage to find all of the mooks apart from the boss.
Second time around I take the top route and the third boss is . . .
I’ll let you know just as soon as I’m able to see around those boobies. Jeebus. “Big as your head” doesn’t really cut it with those. I think VH’s plan for their character designs was to start at D-cup and just go straight to Z-cup as fast as possible.
Ah ha. This, if I’m not mistaken, is the monster girl design that picked up the most votes in the fan competition Dieselmine held back in November.
“What do you want, audience?”
“Bigger tits!”
That’ll be the internet for ya.
Those look big enough to swallow you whole. (Oh wait, I already did that story)
So she’s Queen of the Cow Girls and . . .
. . . sorry, got distracted there for a moment.
I’m a little bit worried by her “baby at my breast” comments. Luka-clone isn’t that young. Are you?
Luka-clone’s first action is to hit her smack in the belly . . . for a grand total of 0 damage. Yeah, this one’s not going to be hard to throw either.
Her name is Busty, apparently. I wonder why. In the description of the game on the English dlsite her name is given as Basty. Translation Aggregator is not fooled. We know what you mean.
It didn’t really come up in the first couple of boss fights, but the sex attack from VH3 is back. Again it feels like a missed opportunity. Bosses from VH3 onwards have a sex attack where a tentacle type thing sucks up the hero’s dick. Four turns in a row of that and the hero is made to come . . . which doesn’t really do anything. Okay, it does some additional damage, but it always feels anticlimactic and rarely even knocks the hero out. For some monster girls the attack sprite fits their form (the first plant girl boss in VH3 had a flower type thing that worked well), but most of the time they default to the same palette-swapped tail/tentacle type orifice even if it doesn’t make sense for the monster girl to have it. It’s a nice idea, but they didn’t make the best use of it in VH3 and VH4 is more of the same.
With Gojira gazungas like those the H-scene is going to either involve paizuri (titwank) or lactation fetish. And the winner is . . .
Lactation fetish. Had to be really. Those are big enough to wrap around the whole of Luka-clone (wait, didn’t I do that one as well). Luka-clone gets buried in titflesh and gets off on ‘milk fog’. As Bad Ends go, it’s one of the kinder ones (unless you find the infantilization aspect a little icky).
The H-scene continues the mild theme as it’s off to a bed for a bit of nookie with Luka-clone wedged up in her substantial cleavage. Considering Luka-clone is supposed to be an adult (albeit a wimpy masochistic one) either Busty is huge all other or the artist is taking a lot of liberties with scale to reinforce the infantilization fetish aspect.
(I’ve been called out on that before. The final edit of "The Biggest Tits in the World" in A Succubus for Freedom utilises some additional Lovecraftian geometry – for when you absolutely have to cram a full-grown adult into a giant boob.)
A little more catering to lactation fetishists and we get a Bad End we don’t have to watch through our fingers.
No one gets eaten by a boob, so MEHydra takes that round by a country mile.
Anyway that will do for part three. I expect normal violations will resume as we move onto the next area.

Let's Play Violated Hero 4! part 2
This is a continuation of the Violated Hero 4 walkthrough started here. VH4 is a sexually explicit hentai game. As before, if you’re likely to be offended by such things or under 18 years of age, please deploy the back button of your browser and read no further.
Last time around we let Luka-clone attempt to take on the Tentacle Girl, Igin, by himself. That did not go so well. Tentacles might have been inserted in places we’d rather not have tentacles inserted.
Now for round two and an explanation of combat. The combat options are the icons down on the bottom right. They are:
Blue sword – Luka-clone’s attack (this seems very weak)
Violet star – Lilith’s attack
Pink heart – Special monster girl attack (we’ll get to that in a tick)
Green eye – Shows opponent’s remaining HP
Red boot – Escape (normal mooks). Selecting this against bosses is not a good idea.
Orange bottle – Use item.
The pink heart option is a new addition for VH4. Select this and one of your monster girls will wank you off, get a facial and then reward you for your cum by blasting the opponent with a strong attack. In this case it only takes 2 hits to take out Igin.
After the fight I jump up to level 3 and get the opportunity to increase my stats. After the disaster of VH3 I take the wussy option and spread the 6 points equally.
After her defeat Igin decides to join the party as long as Luka-clone lets her use her tentacle arm to suck out some cum every so often. This is presumably not a problem because Luka-clone is not a real human. Like all VH protagonists he’s actually an ambulatory bag of concentrated semen shaped like a man.
Having the defeated bosses join the party is a nice change. In previous VH games winning against bosses sometimes ended up with the sexy monster girl brutally slain, which took the buzz off for some players.
Ooh, cutaway scene. It’s off to the Demon Lord palace.
It looks like VH4 is following VH2’s pattern of a Demon Lord with 3 generals. In VH2 they were a lamia, slime girl and a very odd spider-crab thing. This time around we have:
Anua – an Egyptian-themed dog centaur type thing
Makina – a machine/computer girl
Selena – an octopus girl with big bazungas.
Out of them I think I prefer Selena (I reserve the right to change this opinion if she tries to eat me). None of them are a patch on Milfy, the lovable glob of goo from VH2.
Makina sounds angry about something. All that metal must chafe the tits.
And then it’s time for the Big Bad to make an entrance.
Her name appears to be Sharia. My translation software can’t seem to make out whether she’s a ‘genie’ or ‘malevolent spirit entity’. I’m going to go with succubus.
Makina continues to be very angry about something. I’m guessing she’s Insector (the crab girl general from VH2) ver2.0. So far the plot looks like a rerun of VH2. Sharia (clearly Xueli ver2.0) is bored and wants to let Luka-clone run around for a bit.
And it’s back to Luka-clone in the spooky wood. Spooky wood section 2 has opened up, but before we go there we’ll go back to section 1 and clear off the squares we didn’t walk through last time.
This time I run into a girl riding a frog thing and rather embarrassingly it kills me. Oops. Luka-clone, you suck.
Ah that would be because the button I thought confirmed my stats upgrades actually cancelled them. Sorry there, Luka-clone buddy. My bad.
The other route reveals a chest. A couple of run-throughs later and I’ve unlocked all the wandering mook types, jumped a couple of levels and found a bunch of potions. I have no idea what any of the potions do.
Then I find out all those run-throughs were a waste of time as the first wandering mook I encounter in the next section is the one that took me about five run-throughs to find in the last section. In fact all the wandering mooks look to be the same as in section 1 (goblin girls and frog riders).
Waiting at the end is boss 2 – an Alraune (Lorre).
As an interesting factoid, Alraune comes from German myth (It’s German for mandrake). They were believed to grow under gallows from the semen released by hanged men. It’s the title of a 1911 book by Hanns Heinz Ewers and the book has been made into a film multiple times. I’m not sure where the modern incarnation of a pretty girl growing out of a giant rose first appeared (Castlevania? Disgaea?), but they’ve been a staple creature in monster girl circles ever since.
I leave the fight mainly to Luka-clone and predictably he gets slapped down. I’m starting to think the sword button is actually the ‘defend’ option (you know, the button players select when they want to lose slowly) for this game.
And it’s time to crash straight into the big fluffy airbag of Lorre’s boob for the Bad End. Those vines look prickly, but I’m sure she’s a lovely girl really. She’s talking about love and . . .
Oww. Watch it with the thorns.
And now the description's talking about blood and . . .
Ow ow.
Cue lots of strangling sound fx.
Lorre H-scene 2 doesn’t look so bad. It’s her straddling Luka-clone on top of her rose in the classic Alraune pose. But . . .
THORN PUSSY!
Ow ow ow.
Again VH, again . . . ?
Owwwwww!
I did think about playing a game of ‘Can MEHydra match Violated Hero?’ But shockingly, despite writing a few stories about dangerous plant girls, I’ve never written one featuring a classic Alraune. I guess that means VH takes this round. Plus, THORN PUSSY! Even I’ve not dared to go there, yet . . .
If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to find some sticking plasters. Join us again for part 3 and hopefully a less prickly monster girl.

Then I find out all those run-throughs were a waste of time as the first wandering mook I encounter in the next section is the one that took me about five run-throughs to find in the last section. In fact all the wandering mooks look to be the same as in section 1 (goblin girls and frog riders).
Waiting at the end is boss 2 – an Alraune (Lorre).
As an interesting factoid, Alraune comes from German myth (It’s German for mandrake). They were believed to grow under gallows from the semen released by hanged men. It’s the title of a 1911 book by Hanns Heinz Ewers and the book has been made into a film multiple times. I’m not sure where the modern incarnation of a pretty girl growing out of a giant rose first appeared (Castlevania? Disgaea?), but they’ve been a staple creature in monster girl circles ever since.
I leave the fight mainly to Luka-clone and predictably he gets slapped down. I’m starting to think the sword button is actually the ‘defend’ option (you know, the button players select when they want to lose slowly) for this game.
And it’s time to crash straight into the big fluffy airbag of Lorre’s boob for the Bad End. Those vines look prickly, but I’m sure she’s a lovely girl really. She’s talking about love and . . .
Oww. Watch it with the thorns.
And now the description's talking about blood and . . .
Ow ow.
Cue lots of strangling sound fx.
Lorre H-scene 2 doesn’t look so bad. It’s her straddling Luka-clone on top of her rose in the classic Alraune pose. But . . .
THORN PUSSY!
Ow ow ow.
Again VH, again . . . ?
Owwwwww!
I did think about playing a game of ‘Can MEHydra match Violated Hero?’ But shockingly, despite writing a few stories about dangerous plant girls, I’ve never written one featuring a classic Alraune. I guess that means VH takes this round. Plus, THORN PUSSY! Even I’ve not dared to go there, yet . . .
If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to find some sticking plasters. Join us again for part 3 and hopefully a less prickly monster girl.

Let's Play Violated Hero 4! part 1
Violated Hero 4 is out. Rather than play it through and write up a review (or fail to play it through and get owned repeatedly by one of the generals because I screwed up my stats placement as happened with VH3), I’m going to do something new for 2014. I'm going to start a live-ish ‘Let’s Play’ walkthrough and see where it goes. Obviously this isn’t going to be a proper ‘Let’s Play’ video because I’m strongly against censorship and any video I posted anywhere of a hentai game would last approximately ten pico-seconds before getting yanked. Also I’m an ornery writer-type and we strongly believe people should read things otherwise we pop out of existence like unicorns.
So think of this as more of a ‘Text Play’ or ‘Let’s Blog’ with lots of screenshots.
Now onto Violated Hero 4. This series has been running for a while. The makers, Dieselmine, threw the first one together after seeing the popularity of Monster Girl Quest. The main strengths of the series are the production values—the artwork is gorgeous and all main characters are fully voiced. The main weaknesses are a nagging impression the creators don’t know what makes for a hawt monster girl eroge and are running off blind guesswork and what they’ve seen in other games. Also, they really really like the ‘violated’ part of Violated Hero. The monster girls in the Violated Hero series like to express the S in BDSM, which means some scenes are a little more effective at killing boners than growing them for a lot of players. Seeing what bonkers stuff they throw into the H-scenes is part of the charm of the VH series.
Before we go any further I should throw in the obligatory disclaimer. Violated Hero 4 is an eroge. This means there will be scenes of a graphic and explicit sexual nature. I won’t be censoring any screenshots as I’m strongly opposed to censorship. If you’re easily bothered by such things or under eighteen years of age, please click the back button of your browser and navigate to safer internet waters.
So let’s fire her up.
If you were unaware of what type of game Violated Hero 4 is, the start screen should make it clear. There’s the hero, splattered with cum and with a chain around his neck. Crom would not approve (Strictly speaking, he wouldn’t care, but I’m fairly sure he wouldn’t care in a highly disapproving manner).
We start off at the edge of a spooky forest with Luka-clone about to set off on his epic quest to bring down the Demon Lord. (That’s what he thinks. In reality that’s what the villagers tell all suitable young men to do. It’s easier than dragging them off to the woods and tying them down as a sacrificial offering.)
A succubus, Lilith, appears.
Okay, Lilith is hawt. Can we forget the whole quest thing and go grab a hotel room?
BTW, this is the Japanese version. Dargoth has translated earlier Violated Hero games. If you want to wait for an English translation of VH4, keep an eye on his website. In the meantime I’ll be using AGTH as a text hooker with Translation Aggregator for the translating. For more information on how to set this up check out threads on hongfire. The hooking settings I’m using for AGTH are: “/C /KF /V”. Machine translation isn’t all that accurate, but it's worth it for the occasional hilarious mistranslations.
Now back to the game.
The hero, who I’m going to call Luka-clone, tells Lilith he’s going to take down the Demon Lord. She’s so intimidated she makes him come in his pants with a glance. This is not an auspicious start to our quest.
Fortunately Lilith takes pity on us and decides to follow us around to see what hilarity ensues.
Now we get some instructions. Sadly, as a typical mono-lingual Englishman, I can’t read Japanese so we’re just going to have to wing it.
The game mechanics look very similar to those in the last game. Exploration has been abstracted down to following a branching chain of events. Moving to the next link triggers the event tied to that box.
It looks like we have four main areas.
The first area is the spooky forest and has three subsections.
And we’re off (presumably with Lilith a couple of steps behind giggling her tits off at our ineptitude).
The three buttons on the lower right are in order:
Here's a little more explanation on the status screen:
Top is summary of HP/SP/EXP.
Middle left button details the monster girls you’ve contracted.
Middle right button goes to item list.
The snow globe shows previously encountered enemies (it would be blank, but I’ve already done a quick untranslated run through to the second boss).
The box on the bottom right allows you to modify Luka-clone’s stats after levelling up. They’ve simplified things from VH3. There are only 4 stats this time. The top 2 are HP and SP and I’m going to guess the bottom 2 represent physical and magical attack strength respectively. (ETA – as Luka-clone doesn’t seem to have a magic attack, these might just be ATK and DEF stats.)
Lists what potions we’re carrying. We start with a HP potion. Anything else is going to take guesswork (and the occasional poisoning).
After falling Luka-clone down a pit we get to the first random encounter.
This is one of the weak points of the VH series. They’ve never figured out whether to make the random encounters normal mooks or sexy monster girls. Since VH3 they’ve fallen somewhere in the middle with ugly-cute gremlin types . . .
. . . which then look a little odd when the random monsters do the obligatory strip after half their HP has been removed. I suppose it might turn someone on.
In another departure from VH3, what I thought was the magic attack button (the six-pointed star) is actually the button for Lilith’s attack (and later other monster girls in the party).
Oh boy, they’ve really set up Luka-clone as useless. After flailing around ineffectually with the sword attack I give up and start using Lililth’s attacks. She ends the fight in a couple of lusty blows.
After the battle I pick up a mystery potion and quaff the healing potion I started with. This looks foolish when the following square has an event that heals Luka-clone. Then it’s onto the first boss encounter – Tentacle Girl (Igin).
As the primary focus of Violated Hero is to see the crazy Bad Ends, I throw the fight. The game makes this pathetically easy as Luka-clone is basically pathetic. Most of our sword attacks either miss or do 0 damage.
Ah, VH you don’t disappoint. Igin has a giant sea anemone for a hand and we get a very creative interpretation of a handjob. Unfortunately (or fortunately) this isn’t a video 'Let’s Play', so you’re spared the squishy sound effects.
Not so bad so far.
Wait, doesn’t that bottom tentacle look like a . . .
Oh . . .
Yeah, I probably should have seen that one coming. Ick.
As I said earlier. They’re not messing around with the whole ‘violated’ bit.
This isn’t the end just yet as most of the bosses in the VH series have two H-scenes. Tentacle Girl Bad End part two is a little weird as it looks like she swallows us and then joins us inside some kind of ‘meat pot’. This is the more conventional fucky-fucky scene. At least until she reveals she has tentacles inside her pussy and pushes one down our urethra, because . . . well, it’s Violated Hero, there’s no need for a because.
I hope you enjoyed this. In part 2 it’s time to run straight into the big fluffy airbag breasts of the second boss – Lorre the Alraune.
So think of this as more of a ‘Text Play’ or ‘Let’s Blog’ with lots of screenshots.
