Unity - Hail Dicktator [v0.68.1] [Hachigames]

Great story, beautiful renders and captivating characters. The only flaw of the game is that, in the beggining, there's an administritive side to it that is just lost in later versions and would be nice if more developed

the writing is just pure cringe and predictable.. so bad compares to the image quality...... it is like the storyline was written by children
the mechanic in the game got so far away after each update that now this is barely a game but some sort of BDSM kinetic novel with cringe dialogues and characters. Ur choices seem less and less impactful as the game goes on.
even the sex scene gets worse as the game goes on
which is why i dont recommend over 50% of this game

Up until now (we don't know what the future holds!), this is the best game - for my tastes and fetishes - I found here. The story is great, the girls are hot, the game mechanics are not complicated (and they shouldn't, in this type of games) and all develops in a compelling way. The hints system is particularly useful and contributes for this being a game that gives great satisfaction to play (in more than one way! )
It could be better? Well, I like animations as everyone else... But as it is, is it great and animations take a long time to create and render, so yes, please keep going! I prefer frequent (and good) updates, as in this case, than less frequent ones with only a few animations that took forever to create.
Kudos to the developer, one of the few I support on Patreon.

Original Great story, great game play and plenty of playtime. This game is a marathon not a sprint game, with interesting characters and a stongline of BDSM throughout the story which is tastefully done, and linked nicely too the story. Enjoy it!

I love this game! Not only is there some seriously HOT action in there (come on, this is f95, we all know why we play games from here) but it's a lot of fun too. The story has me hooked and I'm always eagerly waiting for the next update (which seem to be coming at regular intervals every 3 weeks give or take) because I want to see what happens next. Also some funny one-liners that come out of nowhere and smack you in the daddybags. Five very well-deserved stars!

Rating about v0.28.3

Story

About the story, in my opinion, this game is not purely about the sex aspect, there is a well thought story behind it, I like it very much, there are ups and downs of the protagonist, he has to prove himself and find out who he is and what he can do.

Renders

I think the renders are excellent and detailed. I can see that a lot of effort has been put into them.

Animations

There are some animations in the newer versions, I can't say anything bad about them, they don't look bad.

Bugs

Yes, bugs occur occasionally, sometimes bigger ones, but you can still play with them (mostly) and continue the story.

Performance

On my side I had no performance problems so far. Nothing hangs, it runs quite smooth and clean.


I look forward to the next versions

A bdsm-centric kinetic visual novel with decent art. Because it is a kinetic visual novel it adds a meaningless map with clicker grinding to hide that there is no gameplay or choices. The "Developer" (in quotations because this is not a game) could just make a comic and it would have the same amount of gameplay and be more enjoyable and require less effort on their part. I recommend getting a save game and looking at the sex scenes if you are interested.

W00t! I'm the 100th review! Congrats on the success of Hail Dicktator, @hachigames.

Good
Storyline - It has a well-written episodic/quest kind of nature that keeps things fresh and interesting, kind of like watching a tv show.

Sandbox/gameplay - This is a perfect example of a sandbox done well. Very clean and enjoyable gameplay/ui.

Renders/setting - Beautiful. Love the location, the leisure area and whatnot are great eye-candy, at times the stills are breathtaking (Leah shots!).

Content - Lots of content, I must have totalled over 10 hours but still less than 50% completion.

Body-shapes - The girls body-shapes are sexy and well proportioned with decent variety.

Personalities - Interesting, well-written cast of characters. This works excellently for the story, but in my case was hit-and-miss for their attractiveness.

BDSM - I don't even care about BDSM but I like the game, so that's well done I guess! lol

MC - This is a main character done well. Personality isn't intrusive, and rarely shows anything outside of first-person view, which makes for an immersive experience.

Bad
Sex scenes - No animations, at least not until the newer content. Sex scenes are very unremarkable without them (this is why i dropped a star). The story/context of the lewd scenes is good though.

Attractiveness of the girls - This may be taste, so not docking stars, but most of the girls just aren't attractive to me, which really hurts because I love the game. Look at Sonyas fucking face. Sigh. Leah is the saving grace here though, she is a masterpiece.

Faces - In my opinion, the girls faces are the weak link here, with Leah being an exception. Credit is due for uniqueness though.

My opinion on each of the girls, just for fun;
Leah: 11/10 - Beautifully done in all aspects. Sexy chocolate bombshell.
Scarlet: 10/10 - Beautiful with an aloof personality and interesting story.
Alice: 8/10 - Stereotypical cute starter/maid girl, not that I'm complaining. Sometimes I wish her face was a little prettier.
Sarah: 8/10(new look 3/10) - Decently written bitch/redemption arc type deal. Looks-wise she was beautiful until whatever the fuck happened to her after her story. Not a fan of the new look.
Yuki: 5/10 - Dumb islander girl type meme. Renders are reasonably pretty.
Daisy: 5/10 - Hippie girl, would probably be bearable if she didn't look like shit (actually she gets a cuteness overhaul later in the story)
Hazel: 4/10 - Bland personality and looks.
Anna: 3/10 - Generic milf. Milfs aren't my thing but at least her face isn't outright offensive.
Sonya: 1/10 - WTF is that face. Ugly haircut, boring personality. 1 point for a sexy body, but needs a paper bag over that fucking round head.

Suggestions
Worth getting an animator on the team? I know it hurts but maybe it's worth re-vamping all of the early sex scene content. This game would truly be a masterpiece then.

Money ramp-up could be tweaked. A bit tight early on but very quickly becomes way more than I can spend. Give me something to spend it on? Gift system? Something with luck involved? Rare unlocks?

Stats/unlocks/repeatables - give me more stuff to unlock via stats/money. This progression felt great early on but seemed to die off in favor of VN/story. When do I get to snuggle with Leah at night?!

=====================================================

Overall a heroic effort and good piece of work from hachigames. Thanks for the great game! <3

I really like the story so far. The hints could be transparent and on top. A way to advance the time to a surtain point would be nice. But the actions are great, ladies are well rendered...

a 5 out of 5 star review

I enjoyed this a lot. Lots of kinks combined with a really silly but very entertaining story. There is a little too much repetition in the gameplay. However, most of it can be skipped by fast forwarding. I am going to wait some updates before I give it a go again.

Very touching, very interesting story, thank you for the work brought by the developer, just like watching an excellent movie/TV, thank you again.
The character representation in the game is very good, has a strong sense of substitution, I highly recommend it to everyone.
And thanks for adding automatic translation, sweet❤

I think it is worth 5/5.

I don't like BDSM, will never and will never understand those who have this fetish. Neither do I like sandbox games, they tend to be grindy, with little real content. Renders are well done, though their resolution could be better.
Nevertheless this game is a gem. Complete unique renders(which is rare, many most popular ones eg. BADIK use general DAZ ones, just differently combined), story which is interesting and engaging, enough non BDSM content, for BDSM haters like me being still happy with the adult content and not to mention a unique grind system which is just about ok and manageable if one knows what he is doing.
The most important part beside the story is the diverse personalities the characters have. Each lady is unique, they have all their charms both in personality and looks. They are very distinct and even the most "evil" ones are still lovable and to some one even can relate to.
So all these contribute to the greatness of this masterpiece. In the end everything here is about balancing the different aspects of this genre so that the separately already great pieces add up to a incomparably good "whole". Thank your for the experience so far, you have made of my flu ridden "messed up" holiday a great memory.

Hail Dicktator v0.26.1

Good storytelling most at the time.
I like the hints. It helps when you when you play a lof hour in a row.
Storyline - i miss why Sonya do not help with repair more things.
Easy to navigate
A little hard to earn money at the start of the game. But got a lot of money in the end.

This game is impressive.
It has a massive amount of fun content, Zero errors for me, only minor spelling/grammar mistakes, great renders, beautiful women (all of them)
The story line is unique, quite funny, and generally interesting.
It has something for everyone (kinks, pleasures, fetishes) Most of the game has had only a few small animations but seem to be appearing more and more as you progress.
I feel like it could be quite a grind if I had not used the built in money cheat. Even if I had not used the cheat the entertainment value alone would make a grind mostly worth it in my opinion.
I cannot wait to finish this game out.
Well done hachi, well done!

-New Fan

I would say this game is pretty overrated. Not bad, but I wouldn't call it excellent by any stretch of the imagination. The renders and models are well done all things considered.

The characters are cartoonish and loony but they each have a charm to them so they aren't overly annoying. (Well, maybe a few of them are like Sarah and Leah, but they grew on me).

The biggest problem for me though was not the characters themselves, but the gameplay, story, and presentation. The game is only somewhat interesting, serving more as an obstacle to further content then anything worthwhile or any fun playing. I eventually turned on the money cheat because having to spend so much time grinding out money when you couldn't do anything else was getting annoying.

The story is there; you're the nephew of a man who runs a mysterious island where everyone has secrets they are at war with some worldwide organization, and blah blah blah, it really is just there to give reason for why the game and world is the way it is.

Lastly is perhaps the biggest issue with the game. So the game has a very clear BDSM theme to it. Which is actually fine for me personally. Now if it's not something you're into or can tolerate, then stop reading and skip this game entirely cause you'll hate it. Back to it though, the bdsm is perfectly fine, the issue is the amount of teasing, spanking, and foreplay you'll do before you get any type of sex scene with a single character is maddening to start. Then when you actually get one, they are horrifically disappointing. They are only a few frames of penetration, often at bad angles to see the action, and no animations. It's the Five Stroke Special and then it's over. I have to say that is simply not worth the time personally unless all you need is a few pics to get off.

Overall, if you are one of the people who care more about the story and getting rewarded for long grinds then the actual sexy content then maybe try this one out. The characters are fine and story is serviceable.

If you are here for the sexy time, good-looking models, and saw the tags and high rating, pass on this immediately cause you'll most likely be disappointed.

I can't think of a single thing about thing game that needs improving.

Visuals are great, story is great, walkthrough hints are great, new content frequency is extremely high (maybe the creator should take breaks and not work so hard).

Story and the characters are fun and silly (in a good way).

There are very few sex scenes. Most of the time it's just bondage, spanking and gagging without further action. Not my cup of tea. On top of that, sex scenes are short and not interesting. Also, no animations (couple loops at latest parts of the story).

I've used money cheat, cant say anything on this regard.

Stats were overused very much at the start, but at 50% of the story or even earlier you wont need em ever again. Maybe with one exception, Scarlet, was she ?

If you're bored af, you should try to check these looneys on the Island

Dick out.

One of those games I don't want to stop playing. Itt deals with all kinds of fetishes, BDSM, humiliation, exhibitionism, male domination but still manages to keep it light-hearted. That's what's unique about this game. 5 stars all the way.

One of the best games I've ever played. Good story. Simple great! Always waiting for the next update and when it's there, play it every time to the end of that update non-stop. Good graphics, little errors well created story.

This is the first time I've ever rated a game, despite having lurked on here for a good long while (like, years at this point). But holy cow, this game is incredible. It's pretty kinky, and I'm not into almost any of the kinks (most of it is BDSM and humiliation stuff, some of it fairly...heavy in my opinion, and it's not really avoidable if you want to play the bulk of the game from what I can tell), but it doesn't even matter.

First off, the structure of the plot (yes, this game actually has a genuine, honest-to-goodness plot, not just "windowdressings") is fantastic. I actually felt an emotional connection to multiple characters in this story (honestly, just about all of them have made me laugh out loud and even tear up slightly at different points), and I truly care about what happens to all of them. The protagonist has a degree of character development that surprised me. The "corruption" of the characters feels more motivated than usual. There are genuine storytelling themes (I won't list them out for fear of spoiling) that are at least as old as the most ancient Greek myths, but the package they're delivered in is truly unique (and not just because of the sex scenes). Moreover, this game has a massive amount of content; even with skipping good-sized chunks of text (which I don't recommend in the slightest), this game will still engross you for hours.

Second (and here's why I said don't skip the text), the writing is quite excellent. There are a few awkward phrasings or typos here and there but certainly not enough to interrupt one's immersion in the story. Meanwhile, as I noted previously, the characters' dialogue alternates between genuinely hilarious and genuinely heartbreaking in a way that is more akin to...I don't know, a Fitzgerald novel than a porn game (or, heck, most AAA video games). Not quite as eloquent, no, but somehow capable of at least approximating something like that level of emotional rapport a reader can attain with the best of fiction. Not to mention the semi-subtle allusions to Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and more, all done in that perfectly tongue-in-cheek way that gives a little grin without feeling overdone or excessively parodic in the slightest. On a similar note, "Dick out" is a genius line; I find that character to be an unmitigated joy for some reason.

Third, the art is fresh, the settings unique, and the models quite pleasant (and, in a couple instances, heartbreakingly beautiful) in both face and body. Let's be honest, there aren't many games that do all of those things. This game is an aesthetic pleasure as well as a literary one. Also, the game's performance is excellent on my run-of-the-mill laptop, which isn't something that can be said for every Unity game (even those of a similar VN style and not a 3D "in-world" style). Props.

Does this mean the game is perfect? No, not quite. At times it can get a bit grind-y (and not in the good way lol). If you happen to finish certain events on just the wrong day, you may end up having to skip up to a week, and there's no particularly good way to do that. You can just stay in your room and go to bed as soon as you wake up over and over, but that does get to be a bit annoying at times. (Yes, there are usually other events you could do during those days, but again, if you happen to have finished everything else that's available, you're kinda stuck doing this.) Also, while the navigation is intuitive and fairly immersive on a certain level, there are some locations (the MC's bedroom in particular) that you have to go to every day that take multiple clicks to get to; this didn't bother me at first, but once I was quite a ways into the game, it started feeling like more of a pain. Also, the fact that you can only advance time by a single hour per click means that it can be a real pain to wait for repeated evening events. Some additional shortcuts for place and time would have reduced that sense of grind. Not a huge deal, certainly not a reason to avoid this game (I mean, it's soooooo much better than most other games), but if the devs were to see this review, that would be one of the two things I'd hope they'd consider adjusting.

The other thing is the sex/kinks. As I suggested before, this game doesn't feel like it would be the same without the BDSM and other "hard"-ish kinks, but not because it couldn't be. I mean, maybe one can completely avoid all of it and still have more or less the same experience, but...it didn't seem like to me on first playthrough. For those of us who are a bit more vanilla, more options for softer sex scenes wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. As it stands, the rewards/punishments tend to be rather "aggressive," which makes them less interesting to me. Now that's totally just my perspective/sexual proclivities and I fully understand that. I don't think the game should be changed to not include what it includes; I just wonder if there's a way in which it could also include other options that don't lean so heavily on those things. And who knows, I may have to give this another playthrough while actively avoiding that content and see how it goes.

But truly, neither the occasional grind for specific event paths nor the heavy reliance on kinks I'm personally not much into diminish the quality of this game. I was completely immersed in the story, the characters, the writing, the art, everything, and I enjoyed it utterly. I think this is the first time I've ever played a porn game and been genuinely grateful for the experience (not just the, well, y'know, that kind of "experience"). This game is a revelation and should be a model for other games moving forward. If you haven't tried this game yet, you should treat yourself. Thank you to the creators for such a wonderful, perhaps even revolutionary, entry in this genre. Y'all deserve a massive amount of credit.
