Let's Play Violated Hero 4: Another Story! part 3

This is part 3 of the Violated Hero 4: Another Story playthrough.  The first part is here.

Last up we ran into the slime girl mimic, Irizu.  This time it’s time to tackle the second rogue monster girl.  She looks like a cute little imp or succubus.

First up we have the obligatory post-win talk where Luka-clone somehow charms the defeated monster girl onto his side.  This time he rather foolishly promises to wear Irizu at some point.

This is extremely foolish, as Marietta points out—once he puts Irizu on he won’t be able to take her off again.

Unfortunately Luka-clone promised and as he belongs to the stupid, My Word Is My Bond, hero type this puts him in a bit of a pickle.

Lilith, of course, finds it all hilarious.

I’m not sure how they resolve this as I fail to unravel the mystery translations again.  I think Luka-clone’s going to put her on later, or something.  I’m fairly certain he made similar promises to most of his monster girl harem in the last game.  Maybe that’s what happens.  He hits his 30th birthday and all the monster girls draw straws to be the one that gets to fuck him until his brains dribble out of his ears.

After collecting up Irizu it’s time to head off to the cave and sort out the other one.


Hmm, there doesn’t appear to be a central map this time.  I wonder if I’ll be able to replay the levels to make sure I’ve uncovered all the wandering mooks (although I’m surprised they’ve added new designs to be honest.  The Violated Hero series was always light on the game elements, but this add-on has felt more like a visual novel with a couple of RPG fights so far).

The cave has a new monster girl design for the wandering monster as well.  Ah, typical Violated Hero.  I have no idea what she is.  Maybe a millipede and an octopus got a little frisky and she hatched out a few months later.


At the end of the path there’s no sign of the other rogue monster girl either.  Lilith suggests they split up.  I’m wondering if this is a devious new plan of hers to get Luka-clone slurped up.  She should know by now he’s completely useless on his own.

Yep, they decide to split the party.  Nice knowing you, Luka-clone.

He walks for a while and starts feeling sleepy.  It sounds like a little succubus is trying to charm him to sleep, but then she manages to trip over a rock and botch the whole thing.  Her and Luka-clone seem like a perfect match at this point.

Lilith and Marietta come back.  The succubus, or rather imp—she seems a lot like the big-boobed imp Monster Girl Quest threw in for comic relief—tries again to get Luka-clone to fall asleep.  She seems a bit hopeless to be honest.  One of the translations gives her name as Miguel.  Is Miguel a sexy name for a girl in Japan?  I’ll go with Mea as that’s what the katakana charts say.

Oh, that’s a bit weird.  The game jumps right into the fight without giving the usual option of quaffing healing potions beforehand.

So how hard is the little imp?


20HP?  Really?

One swat from Luka-clone’s sword is enough.  She really is like the loli imp from MGQ.  I wonder if this is supposed to be a joke battle or she’s going to morph into a bigger threat for the real fight.

Okay, from this point on it got a little complicated.  After the fight Mea begs for a rematch, but this time in dreams.  You can choose to accept or refuse.  The choices I picked ended up taking me right to the end of the chapter, but as it’s a little early to go there I’ll rewind and check out Mea’s Bad End first.

First off let’s try and throw that first fight.  This might be a little harder than it looks.  The red boot option (escape vs. normal mooks, auto loss vs. bosses) is disabled and Mea’s attacks only do 1HP of damage with each hit.  I think this is supposed to be an auto-win fight.

A challenge, but not impossible.  If I only use the green eyeball action (scan for their amount of HP) in theory she should be able to whittle my HP to 0.  Did the developers think of everything?

Hmm, this might take some time.  Come on, Mea.  Put your back into it.

And . . .

Haha, in this case the developers did not think of everything.  After Mea ‘defeats’ me the game carries on as though I’d won.  Tut tut.

Then there are those options.  The first option, declining to fight her, is the correct option.  But we want to see her Bad Ends, so let’s have a rematch.  In dreams.

Marietta and Lilith warn us that this is a bad idea.


Ulp.  Yep, definitely a bad idea.  She’s a bit ‘ard in dreams.

I’m not entirely sure if this is a winnable fight.  She one-hit-KOs me.

Marietta and Lilith call us stupid for agreeing to Mea’s rematch and abandon Luka-clone to his fate.

It’s back to the dream world for Mea to properly play with us.  She makes two clones and goes to work on Luka-clone’s nipples and cock.


There are lots of sucky-sucky sounds and the Meas make Luka-clone come by just sucking on his nipples.  (That sort of thing never does anything for me—must have super-insensitive nipples)

Then the back Mea wraps her sizeable boobs around Luka-clone’s cock for a bit of paizuri + blowjob.

Mea says that as it’s a dream and not the real world, Luka-clone is not tied to physical performance and will be able to come as much as he likes.  So no different to Luka-clone’s other Bad End scenes then.  There’s a reason why we call him the ambulatory bag of concentrated semen.

That’s the first scene out of the way.  As with Irizu, there isn’t an immediate jump to the next scene.  Luka-clone wakes up back in the cave.  Because of what happened in the dream he’s still under Mea’s control, sort of, despite her being a puny imp in the real world.  She gives him a bell.


She tells him that if he rings the bell before sleeping she’ll come and give him nice (and presumably extremely naughty) dreams.  Not seeing either the nightmare or Bad End part here.

Oh, Luka-clone gets addicted to the bell and doesn’t go back to the castle.  Foolish hero.

Let’s have a peek at what he’s getting.


Dream sex with Mea it seems.  As usual Luka-clone comes from a bit of frottage (Had to look that up, sounds like it should be a cheese) as Mea rubs her pussy lips against him.

Luka-clone comments that he knows the ejaculations he’s having here are also happening in the real world as he keeps waking up with crusty underwear from his night-time emissions.  Crusty.  You could probably use his underwear as plate armour now!

Mea pops his dick in her pussy for a spot of hard-riding sex.  Luka-clone breaks, as he always does in these Bad Ends.  His dream of saving the world shatters and he forgoes the real world to live in the dreams Mea gives him.

That’s the two new characters out of the way.  There’s still one scene left to unlock in the CG gallery.  What do we think it will be?  More Lilith?  Some of Marietta, the robot maid (she hasn’t had a chance to anything yet)?  Or maybe all of them in a big messy harem scene?  Find out next post.

Let's Play Violated Hero 4: Another Story! part 2

Righty-ho.  We’re running a playthrough of Violated Hero 4: Another Story.  This is an additional chapter for the Violated Hero 4 game.  I started the playthrough here and should probably include the usual disclaimer—sexy-squicky stuff incoming, run away if that’s not your thing.

Last time around was a fairly lengthy intro that ended up with Lilith giving Luka-clone’s cock a big suck with her tail until he agreed to go with her on a trip to bring two rogue monster girls to order.

Then it’s off on the arduous journey to the far-flung place . . . which Lilith moves them to instantaneously through a teleport square on the floor.

Hmm.  Does anywhere count as far-flung if you can just teleport straight there?

Marietta hears noise and comes into the room to investigate.  She finds the teleport square.  So this is how she ends up in the adventuring party.  Out in not-so-far-flung place, Lilith and Luka-clone see the teleport activated and Luka-clone is terrified it’s Sharia coming to discipline him for shirking his work responsibilities.

Nope, just Little Miss Vacuum Cleaner.  She does try to discipline Luka-clone, but Lilith manages to talk her into tagging along.


Look Dieselmine, we know they’re going to run off and find the sexy, so let’s get on with it!

Luka-clone thinks this should be straightforward.  It’s only a couple of minor monster girl bosses and he’s beaten gods and demons (okay, so it was his harem that did all the hard work.  Leave the lad alone).  Then Lilith tells him she’s going to seal (reduce?) her powers because a fight isn’t fun if the outcome is obvious.  So that’s the awkward reset out of the way that explains how Luka-clone might lose to one of these despite already beating the most powerful monster girl demon in the land.

We’re back to the good old days where if Luka-clone loses, naughty naughty things will be done to him.  (That’s the only reason we’re all here, let’s be honest).

Hmm.  There’s a choice of where to go next—forest or cave.  I pick forest and then finally we’re out of the visual novel part and into the game part.  It’s the usual branching path exploration with some new wandering mooks thrown in.


This time the mook is some kind of elf with a weird plant tail.  She’s also carrying a creepy plushy doll.


I reach the end of the path without finding any rogue monster girls.  Luka-clone notices some armour and a sword lying around.  He thinks it might have been left behind after some unlucky adventurer got slurped up by a monster girl.  He goes over to pick it up so he can take it back to the former owner’s family so they can bury it.


Yes, yes.  Obvious trap.

Lilith and Marietta try to warn him, but it’s already too late.

Blacksmith!  This armour appears to have a slime girl in it.


The “armour” is a type of parasitic mimic that tricks people into putting her on and then treats the host as a domestic animal.

I guess that means fight or submit to a life of being told what to do by your T-shirt.

As I got most of the character names wrong for VH5, I remember to go to the dlsite and get them from the product description.  Which doesn’t have them.  Guess I’ll have to translate raw from the katakana.  Sentient T-shirt’s name comes out as Irizu, which might map to something like Elise, but my Japanese is too non-existent to know for sure.  Irizu it is.

She takes a few hits and we even get to see her (useless) sex attack.  This time it’s the old model snot attack in a fetching shade of sky blue.

Running through a Violated Hero game beating everything is sort of against the purpose of the game, so it’s time to sub in alt!Luka-clone from the bench, rewind back to the start of the fight, and then throw it.

Bad End time.

Both Lilith and Marietta are so disgusted with us losing they teleport off and abandon Luka-clone to his slimy fate.

In her natural form Irizu resembles a blue slime girl.  Once she has skin contact with Luka-clone she’s able to speak directly in his mind.  I remember something like this happening to Spider-man when he picked up his new snazzy black threads.  That didn’t work out so well.


Because she’s a slime girl she makes us feel like we’re being kissed with lots of lips wherever she touches us.  Then she makes it feel like being licked by hundreds of tongues.

Then follows the usual way of breaking people in the Violated Hero universe.  Irizu gives Luka-clone’s cock a lot of stimulus but won’t let him come until he agrees to be her host.

Eventually Luka-clone agrees to wear her and she wraps around his body.

Then, rather than go straight to the second scene, there’s a short interlude of Luka-clone out fighting monster girls and saving folks with his new mimic armour.  He questions whether this is that effective considering he was already keeping most of humanity safe by doing all the bureaucratic stuff back at the castle.  Irizu doesn’t like his insubordination and decides to come out and 'punish' him.

Punishing apparently involves riding him reverse cowgirl style.


Yes please, can I be punished too?

First off she teases him by rubbing him against her outer lips.  Being a slime girl, she again makes it feel like lots of kisses wherever Luka-clone’s cock comes into contact with her.  That’s ejaculation number one, the first of probably many.

Irizu wants to make little baby mimics.  So up into her pussy goes Luka-clone’s cock.  Because she’s a slime girl and possesses a certain malleability of form, she makes her vaginal walls feel like lots of licking tongues.  Luka doesn’t hold out and fills Irizu’s womb with the white stuff.

She carries on helping Luka-clone save humans from monster girls.  This works out for her as the humans they save end up being hosts for her offspring.  And thus Luka-clone was patient zero of the Mimic Girl Apocalypse.

That’s the gooey pleasures of the first girl out of the way.  Next up is some kind of imp or succubus.

Let's Play Violated Hero 4: Another Story! part 1

Before Violated Hero 4 came out, Dieselmine held a fan competition to decide which two fan entrants should be included in the upcoming game.  Busty, the incredibly endowed cow girl demoness, and Marietta, the robot maid, were the eventual winners.  Dieselmine must have liked some of the other ideas as well, as two of them found their way into this additional chapter set after the end of Violated Hero 4 - Violated 4: Another Story.


I bought this a while back, but didn’t get around to checking it out before Violated Hero 5 came out.  Now I’ve got a bit of spare time I thought I’d give it the Let’s Play! treatment.

We’re back to the world of Violated Hero 4.   Luka-clone ver4.0 is easily the weakest protagonist of the whole Violated Hero series.  His whole function is to walk around, pump some semen into Lilith’s mouth and watch while her magic wrecks everything.

Yep, this is the one where Lilith led an uprising to usurp the current demon lord (Sharia).  The intro gives some other story about a brave man going on a quest to rescue humanity from the sexy oppression of naughty monster girls, but we all know what really happened.

And here’s Lilith.


Turns out we’re on a trip somewhere.  Then Lilith starts talking about tormenting Luka-clone’s penis and pretty back passage.  I think I know where this is going to go.

Oh, the robot maid, Marietta, is also in this one.  Expect uses of a vacuum cleaner beyond the prescribed function.


She tells him he might as well go along with what Lilith says as he doesn’t have a chance of beating her.  I think we already knew that.

Then it’s a flashback back to the demon castle where Luka-clone is buried under mountains of paperwork.  Lilith pops in.  She’s bored.  Her being bored usually ends up with naughty stuff happening to Luka-clone.

By reading some of the documents she learns there are a couple of monster girls in far-flung locations not currently obeying the edits of Sharia, the demon lord.  I suspect this is the plot point that provides the excuse for flinging Luka-clone into the sexy embrace of the new monster girls.

Luka-clone isn’t interested.  Too much paperwork to do.

He finally drags himself away from his desk around midnight.  Little Miss Vacuum Cleaner is still around.  I think she’s pissed off she’s been put to cleaning the castle rather than her home mansion with all her robo-sisters.

A worn out Luka-clone crashes on his bed, but doesn’t manage to get a good night’s sleep as Lilith shows up to give our cock a good suck.  And it’s H-scene no.1.


Lilith thinks that because Luka-clone’s been sleeping in the castle he might have stopped taking monster girls seriously and needs a reminder of what they are.  She does this by gobbling up his penis with her tail.

The scene is a bit of training and a bit of arm-twisting.  Luka-clone is always premature—so she squeezes the root of his cock so nothing can come out.  The arm-twisting, or I suppose cock-squeezing, is about the trip she wants to go on to discipline those naughty rogue monster girls.

It doesn’t take much to get Luka-clone to promise to come along and then Luka-clone comes buckets inside her tail.

So that’s the intro out of the way.  Next time it’s off to the land of far-flungness to talk to a slime-mimic-armour girl thing.

Hentai Game Review: Violated Hero 5

I was supposed to do a review/summary right after I finished my playthrough, but then various things came up.  Here it is as a general resource for people that don’t want to slog through the whole playthrough.

http://www.dlsite.com/ecchi-eng/work/=/product_id/RE137860.html

Violated Hero 5 is the fifth instalment in a series of monster girl hentai RPG games.  The first two used Dungeon Master-style (I suppose for the younger audience Etrian Odyssey-style) navigation through a pseudo-3D maze.  From VH3 onwards the exploration element has been reduced to a series of branching paths with events at each node.


Violated Hero is nominally an RPG in that the main character fights random monster encounters to level up stats enough to get past the various boss characters at the end of each location.  The mechanics are very straightforward.  There’s little complexity and the gameplay is mostly filler connecting one Bad End scene to the next.  Like most monster girl hentai games, Violated Hero is a Game-Over-Rape game.  If you lose to one of the boss characters you get to see her do naughty and frequently perverse things to the male protagonist.  As with previous entries, VH5 features ten minor bosses and five major bosses.  Each has two to three H-scenes, with some additional non-Bad-End scenes as well.  The H-scenes have always been one of Violated Hero’s strong points.  The artwork is usually gorgeous and each scene is fully voiced.

Violated Hero 5 came out very quickly after Violated Hero 4 and my concern, along with others, was that they’d rushed this.  Most of the monster girl designs looked a little too cartoony and loli-esque for my liking, especially the final designs of the fan contest winners.  Dieselmine, the makers, have an odd habit of improving some aspects of their series with each new iteration, but also getting something comically wrong elsewhere in the process.  For VH5 I think they managed to undermine one of their key strengths—the character designs.


So what’s different this time around?  Despite sometimes looking like an underage choirboy in some of the scenes, the main protagonist can handle himself in a fight.  This is more like VH3 than VH4.  The mechanic of recruiting a travelling harem and then ignoring them because the first companion’s magic attack is so much stronger than everyone else’s is gone.

Also new this time is additional Bad End scenes for the bonus mini bosses.  In earlier games these used to be conventional monsters that provided stats bonuses when defeated.  In VH4 they became sexy monster girls and in VH5 they now have small Bad End scenes.  These are voice-only scenes and vary in eroticism from not bad to ick!

Compared to previous instalments VH5 is a little lighter on the ick factor.  The scenes with the first five bosses have plenty of ick moments, but after that the game becomes more vanilla.  This will be a plus or a minus depending on how much you liked the bonkers craziness present in previous games.  Overall, the monster girl designs are also a little more vanilla this time around.  I would have liked to have seen a couple more imaginative types like the two-headed cyclops girl or sandworm girl from VH4.


For the first part of the game I did think the concerns about it being rushed out and that affecting the quality might be valid.  At that point I would have placed it as much weaker than previous entries.  The game got a lot better once I met the major bosses.  The scenes were much hotter and the story and characters are actually rather good.  Violated Hero is much better when the major characters have competing agendas and plans rather than the One Big Boss With Four Generals model used in VH2 and 4.

One major plus point was the character of Ariel, the crazy manic-pixie-dream-girl angel that accompanies you on your quest.  She’s cowardly, annoying, but also frequently funny.  A surprisingly well-written character in other words.


Overall, once you get the weak start out of the way, it’s another solid addition to the monster girl hentai game library from Dieselmine.

Hentai Game Review: Monsters 'n Girls

I can’t really do a full playthrough of this as it’s an arcade game with minimal plot.  Lewd demons have invaded a peaceful fantasy kingdom and it’s up to a brave knight to save the day.

http://www.dlsite.com/ecchi-eng/work/=/product_id/RE138022.html

You know those porn parody films with titles like This Is Not [Insert name of TV Show/Film] XXX.  Well Monsters ‘n Girls is basically this for the old arcade classic Ghouls ‘n Ghosts.  Anyone familiar with the original will spot the similarities in the intro, game play, level design and even in some of the monsters.

Monsters ‘n Girls is an action platformer where you fling lances at various monster girl enemies.  The hentai element is provided by pixel hentai animations.  Whenever you get knocked over, the nearest monster girl will climb on top and start fucking you.  This is similar to games like Eroico, Milia Wars and The Paradise Fortress of RePure Aria.  There are a wide range of monster girls, so you can expect to be glooped by slime girls, wrapped up in lamia coils and ridden by lusty succubi during the course of the game.


Thankfully it’s not as brutally hard as the game it’s parodying/homaging.  The normal mode is effectively infinite lives and the checkpoints are placed close enough that even platformer-incompetents like me can make it to the end.


The pixel scenes and artwork are fine, but—despite a good selection of monster girls—the sex scenes could do with a little more variety.  It’s weaker in that respect than either Eroico or Paradise Fortress, but at its price is a cheap and sexy distraction.  And those nostalgic for the old Ghouls ‘n Ghosts will enjoy it.

(For nostalgia I did try playing Ghouls ‘n Ghosts again on MAME.  That did not go well.  The game is still as brutally difficult as I remember).

New story for Halloween – What Kevin Did Last Summer

It’s that time of the year where I go shamelessly vote-whoring.

Literotica’s 2014 Halloween story competition has started and I have a runner.

Actually, it was supposed to be my entrant for the Summer contest, but the succubus ended up having far too much fun and the story grew too long for me to finish in time for the deadline.  Like pretty much every story I’ve written, it also fits the Halloween theme.  So I entered it into that competition rather than wait until next year.

Hope you enjoy it.  It’s a hot one:
What Kevin Did Last Summer

I talked about how voting works in the Literotica contests back here.  In short, anything other than a 5 is worse than no vote at all.  Literotica is also fairly sharp at spotting shenanigans.  Bashing competitors and multi-voting on a favoured story doesn’t achieve anything as they have a good filtering system for removing dodgy votes.  It’s why I like Lit’s contests.  I play fair (I don’t even vote on my own entrants) and can still place.

I don’t know how this one will do.  “Streetwalking with a Succubus” placed in the money last year.  This features a similar character to Nicole and is nicer than my usual ambush-the-unsuspecting-paranormal-romance-fans-with-horror-and-vore entrants.  The sex is hot, but the story might not have as strong an aww factor as my previous winners.  We’ll see.  A lot will depend on the quality of the other entrants (no full-length novels this time, please!).

Speaking of Nicole.  While I was writing “What Kevin Did Last Summer” I had an idea for a story—possibly even novella or novel length—featuring both Nicole and Madam Voluptula together.  How does that sound?  Would you like to read about Nicole and Madam Voluptula double-teaming some poor (lucky!) unsuspecting dude?
