Unity - Hail Dicktator [v0.76.1] [Hachigames]

Pros:
Hefty amounts of content, high quality renders, decent writing. Definitely an easy visual novel to like if it was implemented as such.

Cons:
Lots of not even really grinding, but straight up forced playtime to unlock things. My least favorite thing in a game is being asked to spend my limited time on Earth being bored to qualify for actually having fun.

You need to incessantly click around to match the copious quest triggers shown on tooltips and grind stats to progress the story. But max stats are tied to specific quests where you have to guess the specific choices or have to rollback and try again, so you can't really grind on your own terms either. It's all railroaded.

So it's effectively a VN. But with the illusion of a sandbox and a heavily inflated playtime while being drip-fed what could otherwise be a very fun experience. I could not bring myself to keep playing after the "15%" mark

HachiGames has consistently delivered an incredible experience with their game. The story is well-crafted, the characters are engaging, and the content is both generous and high-quality. Over the years, the game has been regularly updated, showing clear improvements with each iteration. It's evident that Hachi is dedicated to their craft, putting their all into creating a polished, immersive experience while maintaining excellent communication with the community.

As a player, I’ve enjoyed multiple playthroughs, and each time feels just as rewarding. This game truly deserves recognition, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Hachi has been cooking for years and they deserve recognition.
No notes, love this game. Can't find the rest of 200 characters to sayhow much I recommend it. It's well doone, consistently updated, and having been a Patron in the pastI know how much the dev communicates with the community

I play it a lot, I think its my second or third playthrough, I wouldnt mind if there is a Hail Dicktator 2 and 3 for the future. Characters and story is awesome, more games like this. Everytime there is an update i come back to this game. Hope to see more games frim Hachigames in the future. 5 of 5 Stars

Really cool game, the story is well put together. The content is generous in terms of quantity and quality.
You can feel the improvement from update to update, and it's nice to know that the creator is giving it his all and not resting on his laurels.

Not bad, not good - the definition of average.

Good visuals and diverse models.
Plot... There is one.
A variety of LIs with different but stereotypical personalities.
A boring and grindy management system.
No sound (but but the standard music).

In my opinion the game would be better as a VN w/o open world and especially the grindy unlock mechanics. All in all the worst characteristics of any open world game that lead to a disconnect between the player and the LIs.

I like character model. The story is original, told in well written dialog and cutscenes.
With the way the lore is set up, I could see many games being made in this universe.

Love to see where this story will bring me in the end.

- good art
- frequent updates
- generic inane and cliche story
- bad dialogue
- no choices
- no continuity (fuck character in public now, lose stats for seeing her bra later)
- you have to re-watch scenes in the gallery in an "open-sandbox"
- sandbox is a lie, this is a kinetic novel with roadblocks
- no optional quests / characters, have to do everything to progress in an "open-sandbox"
- hotel management is a lie, you just buy everything and it straight up kills it
- stat management is a lie, the stats affect nothing after the first 1h of the game
- 1mil locations, 5 things to do in a time slot (3 of them are repeats)

2 stars, false advertising.

There is a lot in this game that might not appeal to others, but i really enjoy it after the intial stretch of quests.

I startet to play Glassix back when not even the maid was introduced in the game, which was a long time ago. This game has a lot of mechanics that remind me of those early days of really well made adult games.

One of those things is the repeatable scenes with all of the girls, although it would benefit greatly from variations in the dialogue or even an evolution of the dialogue based on the progress you made with a LI during repeatable scenes. The quest log is comprehensive and easy to understand. The LI are covering a lot of ground personality wise and concerning looks and body types.

Of course quite some stuff is unnecessary and was more or less dropped by the devs as far as i can understand it. These relics of early development could be confusing when starting the game. Just stick with it and give the game a few hours so you can unlock some stuff and have a few quests with different girls on your plate.

There is character development and an okay story playing out along with progressing the girls. Being an adult game none of it is oscar or pulitzer price worthy, of course, but still pretty good compared to the competition in the genre. For me the quality of the artwork is pretty decent even though three of the LI are not even my type. The prospect to engage with them in the framework of the predominant fetishes succeeds in doing something for me.

It is still a sandbox and there is still repetition in it, but i grew increasingly weary of grinding over the years and this one is definetely not too much to tough it out.

So if you are interested in dominant MC's and can stand a little bit of grind and repetition, or even enjoy it, you should probably invest a few hours in this one to see if it is also your cup of tea.

First off I want to say that this game is great, there's a lot of negativity in the recent posts about it and I get some of it but I disagree with most of it.

The game does start off rocky, there are management elements which are soon pretty much ignored, there are sandbox scenes that don't get updated, there are relationship/girl stats which don't really seem to serve any purpose later but those are honestly pretty minor in comparison to what Hail Dicktator does well.

What the game does do well is pretty much everything else. The models are amazing, pretty much all the girls look great, from their base models to their hair and clothing choices. The game doesn't start out animated but when the animated scenes do start appearing (about 30-40% through as of update 71) they're pretty good too, for a non Illusion powered game at least.

But honestly, what really charmed me most about this game is the cast of characters and not only how they interact with the MC but how they interact with each other as well. The story really ramps up after a bit of build up and seeing all the girls' characters develop is a treat, especially when you see their friendships with each other grow and the hijinx they get up to even when you aren't around. Even with the cast of characters constantly growing too none of the main cast really gets forgotten and every new character brings something new and interesting to the story and character dynamics.

I think if the structure of the game was maybe reworked the game would be pretty much perfect for a porn game -- either actually add sandbox elements like more side events, proper repeatable events with updated dialogue or just... more to actually do in the sandbox other than skip to when the next quest trigger is.

Also sounds in the sex scenes would be good too but I want that in all the games I play so what can you do, really.

Either way, good game, love the characters and story, started out as a bit of a janky sandbox but then decided it didn't want to be one even though it still is.

The game is fundamentally flawed in design. If this had been a visual novel where you could just click your way through the dialogue, then the game would easily get at least a 4/5. But unfortunately, it's a complete disaster. Once you get to the later stages, all you're doing is basically blindly following the quest instructions anyway ("Be at X location during Y time, when Z is there.") This is problematic though because there really is nothing else to do in the meantime, so you're forced to just click your way to your room, to your bed, to skip the day(s), until you can continue the quest. And sometimes the quests overlap and so you have to do only one of them, then skip multiple days to do the other one.

You may ask yourself why anyone would design the game this way. It's because the idea was so that you can "progress" each girl whenever you want, meaning that in the time where you can't complete quests, you can then have fun with the girls. Sounds good in theory, but it's done terribly in practice: the girl progression makes little to no sense at all. For example, after having 'steamy hot anal sex' with Yuki, you can still only raise her lust value by doing "light bondage in the school", which is one of the first things you do with Yuki way at the beginning. And no, the writing doesn't progress as you progress, which means that Yuki still acts during those light bondage scenes as if you had just met her a few days ago. Besides, how does it make sense that literally SEX doesn't raise lust, but being spanked does?

On that note, excessive spanking. Virtually every scene contains spanking. And it's manual, with boring dialogue. Don't get me wrong, I like spanking chicks too, but does it really have to be every single scene?

All the choices are illusions also. They have little to no impact and you're forced to go through them anyway. You can't for example progress with Heather unless you go through dozens of foot fetish scenes that are not skippable either. Don't like feet? Too bad. And you can't progress the main story unless you progress with Heather. So there you go, forced foot fetish in a game "about choice".

I could go on and on, but I'll end on the music being repetitive, overused and boring. The only thing that salvages this game is that I like the male-dom BDSM-oriented sex scenes. That's it.

For a while i avoided this game because it didn't seem like something id like, and honestly there was times where i got bored of it early on, but once you get past some of the early stuff, the game becomes an enthralling story with some kinky side stories.

Infuriating game. The art is great - undoubtedly - and some of the characters are well done but they are all basically porn vehicles.

There's a story but it's barely interesting enough to string you along. Other than that it's a scene collector in a sandbox with a bondage focus.

The situations that "happen" are so contrived and borderline stupid though that it's hard to take this seriously. It's also not funny/ quirky enough to accept it as satire.

So, that's it. It's a brain-dead scene collector with pretty graphics. Given the audience, no wonder it has so many positive reviews.

Great game, quite enjoy the characters and writing, there is a nice variety and a bit of a replay factor. Having said that I gave it only 4 stars because I do think there could be a little more in terms of replayable bondage. At this point, it's generally the same bondage content unlocked for each of the individual characters. Would be great to see some more extreme bondage type stuff that is different from what is currently availible.

This game is extensive with long story lines and serval new scenes when the game progresses. New girls get introduced and options 'evolve'. If you want a quick harem this is not the game. If you enjoy with a long and good story with many hours of gameplay this game is.

Excellent game, truly.
The plot is amazing, however, it slowly starts... falling off.
Eventually it's just "do that afterwards do this and this"
I have no idea why we got to play as someone else at some point who is not only not our ally, but also someone who is against us...

One of the best games I played so far. I love it very much, although I am normally not into that BDSM-stuff. But the way it is transported in this game is really likeable - even for me.

I love the characters, everyone is likeable in its own way. And the story. is really captivating. A game not only for the one thing but a game to really enjoy playing. Fantastic!

eventhough the first part is completly without animation and even the later animations arent that good. the story and the lovable charakters really got me hooked. There are so manny things that are good i cant really put into words. Each charakter is awsome in their own way.

Hail Dicktator brings high-quality Renders with interesting Girls and a light story.

I have seen around 25% of the content at this time (with view on the quest-progress) and there where several very interesting situations and options to this point. Very most of them are repeatable or at least replayable via the galery.
Could have been a bit more variation or content in the single scenes, but all in all you are very well served here with different options and renders, sometimes animations as well. Specially if you are into (light) punishing and related stuff. And that said with only 25% progress.

It has a more or less interesting story that works for a porn game.
Let's say: it has a funny porn-game-story and charakter-design
Because i skipped most of the dialoges to faster progress to the "good stuff" i am not toooo much into the writing, but everything i have seen was well done, often funny, maybe not real-life-empathic but as i said before: it works for a porn game. Not too much, not too less.

It could be a bit more "sandbox" and less "story-driven" for my opinion.
You have to progress with different girls to get progress with others and therefore you can't just skip a single girl, but yeah, it's ok.
Especially since most interactions and progress is well integrated and feels fluid as a whole.
The stats with the different girls mostly mean you have to repeat some scenes two or three times to progress further, but that's ist.
There are also some options to lower the amount of necessary repeatable actions with girls you don't like.

The economic part of the game is only interesting at the very beginning as i can say so far, i had no money-issues since maybe 5% story-progress and can buy everything as soon as it shows up.

All in All it's a 4* - mainly because of the high amount of good, well integrated renders and the balanced progress-speed.
With a bit more Focus on the single scenes and a made decision between the VN- and Sandbox-Approach it possibly could be a 5*.

So, after all this time and playing multiple releases I finally thought to review.

Why 5 Stars?

1. The art is absolutely beautiful. The girls' differ very much and while overly good looking have still somewhat realistic proportions (I really much hate that more than half the games on this site have girls with oversized tits)

2. The different fetishes and sex scenes are great. Spanking, caning, humiliation, bondage ..... everything I like is in the game (besides femdom/malesub and sissification)

3. While the story is absolutely unrealistic, I think it is interesting and funny. It's not a game where I skip nearly every dialog (I often do that). I also like that the setting of the story is rather positive.

4. Extremely much content. It is seldom, that you see a game with renders that good and that much content in my opinion.



What I would like to improve?

1. Most important, the grind is sometimes a bit much. Be then and at this day there and so on...
I think, I would prefer the game as VN.

2. I'd like some male sub scenes. I think that some with characters like Sarah or Leah it would be realistic if the MC was a sub for a few scenes (voluntarily or as reward for example).

3. The animations are not that great. Still good but they have potential.

4. This will most likely never happen but I'd love to see Leah payback the MC for the chastity quest. Tricking him into it and have him begging. But well we all have our fetishes and opinions and it doesn't sits well with the MC character or the story. But you can dream

Still, the good far outweighs the bad in my opinion, that would give at least 4 stars.
And the small tits give the 5th
