Unity - Hail Dicktator [v0.74.1] [Hachigames]

Great game with many characters. Really good amount of content and a good story. And it looks like that there is a good and steady supply of new content. and it's still 0.31, so much new content to 1.0

Usually I'm not really into sandbox games because most of them get boring and repetitive after a while but this is different. I really like the progression, it has a very good pace. All the characters are likable and have their own personalities, the renders are amazing, and the story and the writing are also very good. The only downside is the animations, they are non-existent, but I enjoyed everything else and the scenes are hot even without animations so it evens out. Overall, it's an excellent game and if he/she adds animations in the future, it would really skyrocket the game to another level. I would definitely recommend you give it a try and also good luck to the Dev for future releases.

Review updated as of v0.72

I first played Hail Dicktator at v0.20 and have played every update since. The game is very good and the developer has an excellent track record for frequent updates. The theme of this game is BDSM and humiliation, so if you're not into that, you're probably not going to enjoy it, and if BDSM is a turnoff, you'll want to steer clear.

Gameplay: I'm not a fan of sandbox games, but the sandbox in this game is very well done, both from a UI and a gameplay perspective. This game actually fits nicely into a sandbox compared to the vast majority of sandbox games that use the sandbox only to waste the player's time. I never encountered a bug, which is very unusual for a sandbox game, so major props to the dev for that. However, there are some minor inconsistencies with the sandbox where characters can appear in two places at once, which breaks immersion. Additionally, the need to manage the hotel/resort effectively disappeared in later updates. The management is a major part of gameplay early in the game. However, the change is appreciated because frankly, it was getting boring. I suspect that the hotel management gameplay may seem different for players that start a new game compared to players that are just playing the latest update each month. It's also worth mentioning that the hotel management can be completely automated once the player earns enough money to purchase the maximum "efficiency" and "persistence" upgrades. Something else that has little value in later updates is the "status" for the love interests and the status screen for a few love-interests has been bugged and has not changed for dozens of updates, so the stats seem to have been abandoned. The addition of the parallel gameplay playing as Nyx is a bit dumb. This is really just a way to show what's going on somewhere outside of the MC's visibility and control. Strangely, it stopped when she went back to the Island, even though everything she does is still not visible to the MC. The Nyx part is just a linear story and there's no need for the player to play it as a sandbox. A lot of development time and effort were wasted on the Nyx gameplay for nothing.

Story: The sci-fi story is better than average for an adult game. It does have a lot of holes in the logic, but it's not a cookie-cutter adult game story, and that's refreshing. The writing is pretty good, too. Most of the characters have an innocence and naivete about them that is a bit overdone, but it certainly takes the edge off of the BDSM theme. The dream world updates that started with v0.69 make me think that the developer is just trying to extend the game a few more months instead of wrapping it up. I'm worried about the ending.

Visuals: Very good rendering and cute models. The occasional animations weren't very good in earlier updates, but they've become good in later updates.

Lewd scenes: The lewd scenes in the game are exclusively centered around BDSM. BDSM isn't my thing, so people that are into it should take this with a grain of salt. My impression is that most of the lewd scenes are relatively short and shallow and not very erotic. Some scenes do try to express the love that characters have for each other (sometimes even going a bit overboard), but it just seems unearned and/or undeserved. Again, maybe it's my lack of understanding of the fetish.

Other: The game could be more immersive if there were interactions with other people besides the game characters. Players never interact or even hotel guests besides the handful that become part of the main story. There are only a handful of renders that even show any other island residents, hotel guests, or military personnel.

Overall: This is pretty close to a masterpiece for an adult game... but only for BDSM fans. It's a shame that a game this good is so focused on the BDSM fetish that it will have limited appeal to most potential players.

This is great. I've been playing for quite a bit of time now, and I'm only at 48% done with quests, so the amount of content is already pretty ginourmous (version 0.30). This kind of harem sandbox story thing with a bit of management sprinkled in is right up my alley, and the management part is small enoughto not actually distract from the real content.

I don't mind that the story takes a little bit to get into the naughty stuff, because once it goes there, it REALLY goes there. Also the story is pulling me in a lot more than I expected, in most other VNs i find myself fast-forwarding a lot, but not here, it manages to mix fun, weird, superpowers, and some serious storylines it something entertaining and compelling and hard to stop playing.

The renders are nice, and the girls I have seen so far are a nice mix of body types and actual characters. I wish there were more animations, but I also know they are a ton more work than single frame renders.

Fun story, good renders, and (above?) par writing with a dose of humor.
I really can't say why i didn't give a five, other than I really like it but have not been driven to jump to DL as soon as the lastest update hits. That said there are times when I wonder if one has dropped and seek it out.

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
Edit: but the sex scenes are hot

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.
