Revised review for Hero Corruption 2 v0.60c.
Many of the annoying things in the previous, html iteration are now improved. You no longer have to wait through a 5 second sunrise every morning or grind AS hard thanks to the passive tree that builds over time, but there are still many things that leave me unfulfilled.
The combination of real life media and text is almost satisfying, even if most of the models are dog-ugly. There are many scenes that make clever use of taunting comments and foreplay while switching pictures, but each encounter feels like it could be so much more. Not only does each foe have so few lines that you'll see repeats after 3 or 4 lines, but there's a HUGE missed opportunity here to escalate the narrative according to the player's lust percentage or the number of times the player's lost to the character, and other mechanics like that.
Additionally, and this is kind of a nitpick, the game uses transgender models for some encounters, but these encounters are blatantly timid. Not only is there not a single trans-based game over, but the trans scenes just kind of fade to black as soon as the MC cums. Why even add these characters if you're not going to commit?
Even with the passive tree, you'll still have to grind this game for an obscene number of hours just to see content beyond the first two zones. This wouldn't be so bad if not for the aforementioned lack of diversity and excitement in the encounters.
Overall, the game's hugely improved from where it was as an html, and it almost feels satisfying to me, but it still feels half-cooked.
