Text Play Monmusu Conquered World! part 8

Welcome to part 8 of my Monmusu Conquered World Text Play.  The first part can be found right here.  Monmusu Conquered World is an adult game, despite the cartoony artwork, so the usual warnings apply.

Last time we took down the shape-changing doppelganger.

This time it’s the turn of the dark-skinned... sprite?  Cloud spirit?  I don’t know what exactly other than there seems to be a lot of... something... bubbling up off her skin.  Self-bukkake girl?

The guide refers to her as Atomis, a monster girl that releases steam.

(So that’s what it is.  There was me thinking it was...  Yeah, steam is better.  Less gross.)

This seems an unusual type of monster girl (strange to say in a game with a killer oil painting!) in that I can’t think of her normal-fantasy-monster analogue off the top of my head.  That makes me wonder if she’s based upon some type of yokai from Japanese folklore.  I know of the usual ones—the long-necked woman, yuki-onna, the woman with a mouth in the back of her head—but a yokai that releases steam from its skin, nope, drawing a blank there.  Any suggestions in the comments?

Anyway, rather than launching straight into a fight, she leaves and it’s more run-and-dodge before we encounter her in a room with the same backdrop as the painting girl.

I’m not really sure what’s happening with the backdrops in this game.  There have been a couple of times when the character introduction hasn’t matched up to the combat background.  And in this case we appear to be fighting in a ruined temple.

It's not what you think it is...

I say fight, but we all know how it goes by now.  Atomis spends the first turn buffing her defence and then blasts us into unconsciousness with a jet of fire.  I guess fire makes sense given her whole ‘steam’ thing, but it is a little hard to get in the right mood when you’re all... crispy fried.

Hmm, yeah.  Belay that thought.

Two heated pillows for you, sir

Now that’s a nice pair of yummy boob pillows.  And given she’s probably hot in the physical as well as the figurative sense (one of these words could be literal, but that would just confuse 90% of the internet, including me) I imagine that would feel rather pleasant.

Mmm, nice hot cushiony boobs wrapped around our erection.  I think I can live with this Bad End.

Although, in this case, it’s probably a good thing I can’t follow the text or dialogue as about halfway through it looks like steam is either coming out, or going into our erection, and neither seems... pleasant.

“It’s nothing to worry about, honey.  I’m just boiling the sperm in your testicles so it comes out as lovely steam.”

Um... thanks Atomis.

Oh fuck it, as long as you’re going to smoosh those lovely big tits around my cock, I think I can take a little bit of parboiling.

In the rematch fights I was expecting her sexy-smexy attack to be an animated version of her paizuri.  Which would be awesome, to be fair.

Instead the game surprises me with an animated PoV cutaway of her riding us cowgirl style.  This is a pleasant surprise as it’s also pretty awesome.

Hentai RPG fights are way better than normal ones...

I don’t know what kind of fantasy monster you’re based on, Atomis, but I think I like you.

Unfortunately, there are only so many times you can be ridden to paizuri heaven, so eventually we have to fight properly and dispatch steam girl.

Do I have any steam girls for you?  Mist/smoke girls maybe.  There’s... yeah, you probably don’t want that one, or this one to be fair.  There’s a succubus mistweaver somewhere in here, if I remember right.  And there’s also [redacted].  I think you’ll all really like [redacted], but I need to finish the goddamn novel she’s in first.

Next up I think we have Mosquino, the mosquito girl.  Hmm, that’s probably not going to go too well.  Find out next time.

Text Play Monmusu Conquered World! part 7

It’s time for more Monmusu Conquered World.  We’ve had goblins, spider women, lizard girls, mermaids and... a painting.  Um, yeah.  Anyway, usual warnings about Monmusu Conquered World being an adult game apply.

After beating the Grand Odalisque it appears we’ve advanced enough in the plot to get the obligatory throne room scene where the next squad of sexy monster girls discuss how best to give our hapless hero a good hard fucking.

That backdrop looks awfully familiar...

Um Dieselmine, you’ve used that exact same backdrop for the demon lord throne room for the past four games.  Sort it out!

The seduction squad this time around contains a lamia, a mosquito girl, some kind of dark-skinned air spirit and a silhouette.  I’m not counting Squid Girl.  She’s just filling in for someone that’s off sick for the day.

The mosquito girl and lamia look to be Setouchi creations.  I like Setouchi’s work in the Monster Girl Quest games, but it doesn’t seem to fit as well here.  That art style clash problem I guess.

One of them, the silhouette, wanders off down a corridor.  She’s a silhouette, she’s a squid, she’s a silhouette (brain anyone that starts singing that Splatoon jingle).

I think she’s Doppelganger, based on the fact that the Japanese for Doppelganger appears to be Doppelganger according to the spoken dialogue.

There are some more dialogue sections with silhouettes in Ye Olde Medieval city.  I don’t really know what’s happening, but at a guess I suspect the shape-changing Doppelganger is impersonating Luka-clone to sow some chaos.

We have another run-and-dodge section through a woodland (with no new sex anims, sadly) until a confrontation at a pool with the same backdrop as the Doctor Fish encounter.

A silhouette appears.  Hey, nostalgia for Violated Hero 1.

Art privileges - denied

Then some sort of change takes place and she gains art privileges.  It’s boss number 6.

Is that meant to be our face?

According to the blurb she’s a monster girl that wears your face.

Huh?  Why the fuck would anyone want to fuck someone with their own face?  Even if you weren’t as fugly as me, wouldn’t it be... well... weird.  (I’m envisioning porn films as shot by Aphex Twin, and that’s not exactly getting my pecker eager.)

Rule 34 I guess.  If that is your fetish, you are a stunning and brave individual, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

(And that’s not sarcasm.  As long as it’s not strangling non-consenting individuals, I’m not judging anyone’s fetishes.  Mine are bad enough as they are!)

Okay, so the fake fight predictably starts with a OHKO and it’s time for sexy Bad End.

I think we might have pulled something, like everything...

Hmm, that looks really uncomfortable with the legs pushed back like that.  Various muscles in my legs are twinging in sympathy.  Oh well, Luka-clone is a brave hero-type.  Suppleness is probably in the job description.

(Plus he’s pixels.  Pixels can take whatever is thrown at them.)

I’m also wondering if I might have got the “Doppelganger wearing your face” thing wrong.  The different hair colours might be a strong clue.

Doppelganger is pretty vigorous on the whole sex thing.  I’d say like a bunny, but I think even bunnies would look at that and think, that’s a bit too quick, mate.

Slow down, Doppelganger.  You’re going to...

Did something just burst?

Eep.  I don’t think that’s an ejaculation.  I think Doppelganger might have just ruptured him.  Poor Luka-clone.

Despite this, there have been worse Violated Hero ways to go.  (trust me on this!)

In the ‘real’ fights her sex attack is just as vigorous.  Do you have habit you’re not telling us about, Doppelganger?  A bit of a penchant for the nose candy...?

Anyway, by the time of the third fight it’s time to put a stop to her nonsense.  Sorry, Doppelganger, but I’m just not that into me.

Shape-changing doppelgangers?  Do I have any stories about doppelgangers and shape-changing shenanigans?  Oh wait, there was that one where [spoilers].  It’s in this collection if I remember right (as well as plenty of other sexy succubus and monster girl stories).

To part 8!

Text Play Monmusu Conquered World! part 6

We’re at the end of the second week of our Text Play of Monmusu Conquered World.  The whole thing started back here.  Last time we were dragged into a pond by a bunch of over-amorous mermaids.  Lots of licking was involved.

With a short pause to shake ourselves dry, it’s time to carry on the epic quest to...

Um, Magic Sword, what exactly were we supposed to do again?

That’s what happens when you can’t be bothered to learn how to read Japanese.

Wandering away from the ruined town we come across a cut-scene where a monster girl is harassing some normal humans.  I’m guessing they’re normal humans as normal humans don’t have art privileges in this game.  The monster girl is the squid girl from VH5.

We know who you are

It’s cute how they think blurring her face out will stop us noticing the art re-use.

(To be honest, I don’t really have a problem with the re-use of previous content in places like this.  It’s not exactly essential to the plot and there are plenty of new monster girl characters to perv over.)

I'm not sure what happened in this scene.  At a guess I think it’s supposed to show Luka-clone’s hero powers growing as he saves a group of female villages from some slimy hentai tentacle action.

Then we’re off to a random castle.  Why not.

Another run-and-dodge section gives some brand new animated scenes.  Which are pretty neat.

Hmm, this is screwing with the whole dodging thing.  Gotta fuck ‘em all I guess.

Apart from this scene where she’s giving our cock the pimp hand.  I think I can do without that one.

owowowowow!

(Ow.)

There’s more running and dodging inside the mansion.  At one point I get a weird bug that knocks me into a wall, which looks pretty bad as I can’t get out.  Fortunately, the same succubus obligingly bumps into me and knocks me back out again.

After more ducking and diving we escape into a room with a very large picture on one of the walls.

A totally not suspicious painting

Hmm, that’s not suspicious at all...

Don't ask

Yes, that is us, fighting a painting.  Dali would approve.

I’m not sure exactly what happens during the fight, but it looks suspiciously like the painting knocks us out with a fart.

Okay...

You win this round Monmusu Conquered World.  I’m not even going to bother trying to contest it.

The Bad End is pretty sweet.  The Grand Odalisque is on top of us with her lovely round butt cheeks wrapped around our erection.  It looks rather tasty... just don’t look down at the bottom right.  That would appear to be our head being absorbed into the painting.  It looks rather painful.

Dat ass (Don't look down at the bottom right corner...)

The painting wins and a solo nude ends up being a pair of lovers.

Are we art now?

(Are we really that short – dang these artists with their inconsistent portrayals of age and appearance.  Luka-clone will probably look like Conan with washboard abs in the next scene.)

That’s some Twilight Zone-type shit right there.

Oddly, I’m trying to think where the idea for the painting girl might have come from.  Monster Girl Quest has the paintgeist of course, and that likely inspired Monmusu Conquered World’s Grand Odalisque.  But this is the sort of idea that must have shown up in an old creepy horror tale at some point and it’s bugging me that I don’t know the ‘classic’ source.

Back to the game, and you’ve got some work to do here, Magic Sword.  We’re paint.

No problem at all as Luka-clone gets ripped right back into our world for the rematch.

I don’t think the painting girl liked that.

As with the arachne fight, the Grand Odalisque fight also shows hints of really getting the flavour of a femdom monster girl sex fight, but is let down by the generic JRPG combat system.  Painting girl has a magic attack that does a fair bit of damage.  She also has a sequence where she binds the hero, puts them to sleep and then starts bouncing away on their cock with dat lovely round ass.  The little animated scene is great and again I wonder why they didn’t incorporate it into the Bad End scene.  I really like this blurring between the RPG fights and the sexy Bad Ends (which games like ROBF and Monster Girl Quest do so well) and wish the game did it more often and with less obviously generic JRPG implementation.

Anyway.  Yummy is yummy, but we have a world to save.

Round 3 we go invulnerable enough to enjoy that bouncing ass... a few more times than might be entirely healthy.  All good things must end and the deadly(ish) painting is put away for good.  Time to move onto the next monster girl boss.

As always, if you’re enjoying this series, please consider picking up some of my books.

I’ll be back on Monday with part 7.

Text Play Monmusu Conquered World! part 4

Time for part 4 of my Text Play of Monmusu Conquered World.  The usual warnings about adult content apply.  Last time out we had a dinner date with an arachne... that didn’t go so well.

Now, probably a little slimy after our tour of the arachne’s stomach, it’s time to continue the adventure.

The next section is another dodge-and-run through a ruined village.  There are a couple of new sex animations if we get caught, including a very bouncy pair of boobies.

Boing boing!

I like these little animated snippets.  I’m not sure the game is making the best use of then, given that they’re thrown into the random generic filler segments, but they’re still quite nice.

One of the wrecked houses has a different kind of sparkly outside the door.  This leads to a cutscene of the wrecked interior.

This is where I again must apologise for playing this without any form of translation.  At a guess, our hero is finding somewhere quiet to sleep for the night.  A sprite of an open book is shown.  I don’t know whether it’s something we’ve found, or some kind of diary or similar keepsake Luka-clone is carrying around with him to remind him of the good times before the monster girls invaded and sucked all the juices out of everyone.

Your guess is as good as mine...

If someone does have an idea of what’s going on in these segments, please post in the comments below.

After another run past horny succubi, we’re out of the village and onto the grassy plains... where we run into boss number 3, the lizardman (or should that be lizardwoman/lizardgirl?).

Cute, but the change of art style is jarring

Oh boy, does that art style clash with everything else.  This is a similar problem to Monster Girl Quest (even more pronounced in the follow-up Monmusu Quest: Paradox).  Nothing wrong with the individual pictures themselves, but sometimes the different styles clash, which can be jarring.  Strange, because Dieselmine’s previous monster girl eroges were much more consistent in art style (If you ignore the silhouette and blown-up pixel art nonsense of the early games).

I’m not sure where the trope started, but lizardgirl monster girls are always proud, elite swordsmen for some reason.  I think we try and get by without a fight, but there she is, back in our damn face again.

Okay, ‘ave it, bitch!

Predictably, that doesn’t go so well.  Lizardgal takes a turn to buff her attack and defence, and then twats us for over 4000 damage.

Ow, that probably hurt.

Lizardgals also have long slimy tongues according to typical monster girl lore, so for her Bad End scene we are treated to a big sloppy blowjob.

Slurpy suck time

Wait, what is that hand doing near my balls?

Ow.  Ow.

A little less on the crushing sound effects, please.

Ow.  Ow.

Look, I know you’re meant to be cum-squeezing monsters from wherever, but can you please stop squeezing my testicle like it’s the bulb of a pipette.

Luka-clone expires from excessive ex-spermination.

She squeezed us like an orange.  A career singing classic AC/DC beckons.

This time I manage to beat lizardgal in the ‘proper’ RPG fight.  Which is also a little annoying as I didn’t get to see her sex attack.

For a while I wasn’t sure she had one.  One of the downsides of Lizardgals being a proud warrior race is they tend to be more enthusiastic about hitting folks over the head with steel objects than getting down’n’durty with the smexy stuff.  After leaving Luka-clone to be slashed about for a while I determine that Lizardgal’s sex attack is an animated version of her blowjob.

Which also makes me wonder why they didn’t just add that animation to the Bad End scene?

Anyway, that’s enough of Lizardgal.  Time to move on.

Oh, there’s still the game of which is the most depraved – manyeyedhydra vs Monmusu Conquered World.  Hmm, what lizard girl stories do I have?  Oh, there’s this one.  Yeah, I think I win this round.

As always, if you’re enjoying this series, please do me a favour and consider buying one of my books.

To part 5!

Text Play Monmusu Conquered World! part 3

Welcome to part 3 of my Text Play of Dieselmine’s Monmusu Conquered World.  Last time we fell foul of an adorably cute goblin gang-bang squad and a good, if exhausting, time was had by all.

Once they’ve been chased off, with some surprisingly cute expressions and bops, it’s onto the next run-and-dodge section.  A couple of new sex animations have been added to the fairy, spider and cowgirl scenes of the first section.  I was thinking of hanging around and letting the succubi catch me so I could see them, but in a display of comic ineptitude, managed to misjudge where the level ended and ran straight through into the next cut-scene.

Straight into the arms and many legs of an arachne, or spider girl, as it happens.

Rather sensibly, even with a magical sword, our hero decides to leg it.  Our new admirer is not so easy to shake off and she keeps bouncing into view until the inevitable fight happens.

The first fight is auto-lose, but it plays out surprisingly logically and is a pretty good bridge between an auto-lose fight that has the illusion of interactivity and a Bad End with no interactivity.  The arachne always follows the same sequence – she poisons the player, inflicts a bind on them, and then initiates a sex attack (animated) that results in the player being reduced to zero hit points after ‘popping’ one turn later.

It's bad form to squirt poison all over someone on a first date

That’s the quintessential arachne scenario right there.

“Mmm, I’m going to fill you full of my aphrodisiac venom, cocoon you up in my lusciously soft silk, and then you’ll be helpless while my delectable, tight little pussy slowly sucks out all your juices.”

Unfortunately, the game creators are trying to play this scenario out with what I’m assuming is generic, off-the-shelf RPG-maker software.  It goes so far – the poison attack lines up the poison status change animation with the arachne sprite so that it looks like she’s squirting it out of the spinneret at the tip of her abdomen.  Which sort of works, if your imagination is kinky enough.  What doesn’t work is the follow-up bind attack.  For this it looks like they’ve taken the closest match – paralysation.  But unfortunately, paralysation is usually represented by electricity in most generic JRPGs, and that doesn’t seem quite right unless she happens to be little miss electro-spider.  The sex attack is a close-up insertion shot.  Unfortunately, as with most Japanese H-things, pixilation obscures a fair bit of it (although it’s still pretty nice).

Anyway, enough analysis.  Back to the story!

The arachne squirts poison at us, ties us up in sticky silk and then forces us to have sex with her.  Other than these minor quibbles she’s probably a lovely date.

The Bad End has Luka-clone bound up like a puppet and bouncing away on spider pussy.  As Bad Ends with scary spider women go, it doesn’t seem so bad.

Arachne's love spinning their own love seats

The scene is also a little familiar.  Luka got bound and fucked the same way if he lost to the Spider Princess in Monster Girl Quest, if I remember right.

Oh, but in that scene, after she had sex, didn’t she...

Yes, you can't see his legs.  No, you probably don't want to know where they are...

Ulp.

So, it’s a dinner date, and not in the good way.

Hmm, this will be a challenge for the resurrection capabilities of our magic sword.  Thankfully it’s up to the task.  The arachne gets a massive dose of indigestion and regurgitates us right back up again.

(Yes, this is still a sex game, in case anyone was wondering.)

I don’t think she’s too put out by this turn of events.  It means she gets to fuck us and eat us again.

Which she does.  I probably should have made some effort to learn the RPG battle mechanics.

Round 3 is back in idiot-proof mode.  Three solid hits with the sword is enough to send her packing before her devilish vagina slurps us up again.

Normally, when writing up let’s plays of weird Japanese monster girl H-games I like to play a game of which is the more depraved – the game, or my stories.  With the old Violated Hero games it used to be a challenge, but I’ve written a year-and-a-half’s worth of H-space shorts since then... ;)

If you like arachnes and would like to peruse further ‘educational’ literature, this chapter from Succubus Summoning might hit the spot.  And if you like that, you might want to check out what L’mactia’s two sisters get up to when given a man to play with in my novella, "Sandwiched by Spiders".  And nobody gets eaten (okay, swallowed).

Well, it didn’t take long for Monmusu Conquered World to jump right into the weirder kinks.  Let’s see what they have in store for us next.

Text Play Monmusu Conquered World! part 2

Welcome to part 2 of my Text Play of Dieselmine’s Monmusu Conquered World.  Last up I managed to splurge up a thousand words on the intro, as well as a lot of white stuff over a harpy’s talons.

Now it’s time to get into the game proper (and the usual warnings about Monmusu Conquered World being a sexually explicit game suitable only for adults).

Dieselmine games usually have great art, but not exactly the most original and well-designed of game mechanics when it comes to travelling from boss to boss.  Violated Hero 1 and 2 used a Dungeon Master-esque maze.  3, 4 and 5 switched to a weird block-chain of encounters, which was a fairly nice abstraction to be fair.  And 6 had... I have no fucking clue what 6 was trying to do.

Monmusu Conquered World uses the classic RPG-maker ‘run and avoid’ gameplay.  We have to get from one side of the level without coming into contact with any of the succubus sprites, most of which will chase us if they see us.

The overworld succubus sprites are all the same sadly

If they catch us, a short sex animation plays and we have to alternate mashing left and right cursor keys to break out before the succubus drains all our energy and forces us to come.

Did I remember to remind people this blog is NSFW?

This is actually pretty good for what essentially is the filler content.  I’ve always thought a bit of animation adds a massive amount to a hentai game.  It worked really well in Tokinokogiri’s Succubus Prison and Monmusu Conquered World has similar clips.

There are also treasure chests and sparkly things we’re supposed to pick up, but I don’t know what they’re for. 

Treasure.  Although, to be honest, I think most players are more interested in collecting all the scenes on the right.

A short run and one forced ejaculation by fairy later (I blame it on trying to take a screenshot) and we’re onto the next cut scene.

This features a pair of fox girls – one with two tails, the other nine.  It’s the classic loli plus big-titted milf combo.  They’re on the list of encounters, but they’re high up on the list, so I suspect this is following the Violated Hero formula of having one the major characters help or hinder the hero early on.

Friend or Foe in Fox form

Unfortunately, this is where the lack of translation leaves me completely bamboozled.  At first a fight looks like it’s about to happen, and then it doesn’t.  Inexplicably a coconut is involved.

Which might be poisoned, as the hero collapses right after eating it.

Resurrection sword to the rescue.

On the next dodge-and-run section there is a house.  Inside is a merchant girl.  Her sprite looks familiar, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen it from.  You can buy potions from her and I think turn the sparkles into some kind of currency.  I think it’s more for if you want to play the game on higher difficulty and need to actually put some effort into improving your character’s stats.

Your friendly local neighbourhood store


This character looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before

More succubus dodging (after checking out all the H-scenes beforehand, of course) and we’re onto the first boss battle – the Goblin Gang-Bang Squad.

They're more dangerous than they look

Anyone that’s read enough of my stories will probably know I’m not really into the loli thing (even if the characters are really 100s of years old demons that also happen to be short and flat-chested).  The goblin loli bandit of Monster Girl Quest has her fans (and no, they’re not necessarily paedophiles, fuck off shit-stirring offendatrons) and this encounter is essentially a whole crew of them.

As hinted in the intro, the first iteration of the boss fight is unwinnable.  One club to the head from the leader and Luka-clone is down for the count.

Then it’s goblin girl pile-on!

Dieselmine might be sloppy in other regards (sometimes many regards!) but they do a good job here in giving the 2D sprites of the gobbos a little more character by having them bob around excitedly before swarming in.  They do seem adorably cute for a merciless gang-bang squad.

Then it’s the obligatory Bad End scene.  We get a face-full of goblin pussy while the rest of the gang take it in turns to ride our ‘pole’ until we come and come and come...

Snu-snu'ed to terminal exhaustion by the goblin gang-bang squad

I don’t think Luka-clone is a bottomless ambulatory bag of semen this time around so I suspect that does for him.  Good job we have a magical resurrection sword.  That means we get to avoid the senseless horrible slaughter of many many alternate timeline Luka-clones for this playthrough.  But it also does mean the player is going to have to sit through every Bad End, regardless of how icky it gets.  There doesn’t appear to be a skip option either...

In the rematch we get to experience the new sex attacks as halfway through the fight I get a little animated cut scene of a goblin getting in a bit of trampling/footjob action.  This is a massive improvement over the generic tentacle feelers of older Violated Hero games (even if the footjob/trampling thing does zero to stimulate my own personal loins).  In RPG mechanic terms a heart shows up in the player’s status and we have a turn to escape it before lots more blossomy hearts float around the place and our hero makes a bit of a mess of himself.  Reading my notes from the playthrough, I see that I wrote it was good that Dieselmine had implemented the sex attack to actually mean something this time around, as letting it go off is an instant KO.

Um, yep, was a bit premature on that.  It’s not an instant KO, but it does do a helluva lot of damage.

Losing the ‘real’ fight gives the player an additional but thankfully abbreviated Bad End scene.  Unfortunately, no translation means I don’t know whether it’s just a replayed clip of the previous Bad End, or the naughty little goblins are throwing some delicious new taunts in our direction.

Round three is auto-win mode for people not interesting in playing the game properly.  Poor little gobbos do no damage and are dispatched with single hits.

It’s an interesting mechanic.  If you’re making a H-game, you don’t really want to blockade off the sexy stuff behind too-hard difficulty.  But on the other extreme, there have been games in the past where I’ve just blasted straight through, enjoyed a couple of encounters, but wasted others by rushing through in search of ‘better’ scenes.  It will be interesting to see where Monmusu Conquered World lies on this spectrum.

And that’s the goblin gang-bang squad out of the way.  Despite not really being my thang, I did like them for being rather cute and adorable.  I’m almost tempted to write a cute goblin gang-bang squad story to make a change from the grimdark of H-space.  The closest I have is probably this cute elf girl story, and the ending for that is not exactly cheery...

Now that we’ve got game mechanics and intros out the way, future posts won’t be quite as long.  Join me in a couple of days as we have a date with Monmusu Conquered World’s arachne.  Reading the product page description I have a suspicion the ‘v’ word might come up.
