Hentai Game Look - In the Castle of Succubi

Text, text and yet more text.  That’s the short summary of In the Castle of Succubi.

Like its predecessor, House of Monster Girls, In the Castle of Succubi is less a game and more a visual novel with the occasional choice (usually along the lines of ‘Would you like this particular succubus to bonk your brains out?’).  Also like its predecessor, In the Castle of Succubi is aimed squarely at fans of big breasts.  All of the succubi are blessed with super-ginormous norks and there is an emphasis on paizuri (titwank) scenes.

The plot has you play an adventurer of some description that falls foul of a trap in the demons’ castle.  This puts you at the mercy of a succession of lovely succubi who are all very keen to take good care of you.  Their idea of care seems to involve wrapping their soft mammaries around your dick and rubbing up and down until all that inconvenient tension floods right out.

Much much much rubbing up and down.

There are six succubi in total.  The first part of the visual novel goes through each giving you paizuri in turn.  The second part has some choices and a wider range of sex acts.

Unfortunately, like its predecessor, In the Castle of Succubi has an ungodly amount of text.  This is definitely not shying away from the novel part of visual novel.  Be prepared to do a lot of clicking, and clicking, and clicking, to move to the next juicy big-boobed succubus pic.  In the end I lost patience with trying to follow the machine-translated text and resorted to clicking through like mad just to get to the next scene.  To me it seemed like there was about four times as many lines of description as there needed to be.  I appreciate this is probably an unfair criticism.  If you were to take one of my stories and bung it in a visual novel framework with a couple of naughty pics to illustrate it, I’m sure it would be just as frustrating for a non-English-speaking Japanese person to attempt to read.

No matter how well endowed you are, she's still going to smother it.

One for big boob lovers, although the amount of text to wade through is daunting.

Hentai Game Roundup - Summer 2013

After the success of Monster Girl Quest monster girl eroges appear to be a thing now.  I haven’t covered any in a while because...well...Monster Girl Quest chapter 3 and its 80-odd separate scenarios.  The games are still coming out and here are a few worth checking out:

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.
